The winds and the Pale King

(footage by mossbag, gif by mossbag)

So in mossbag's latest video some comments chalked up the discarded shell's wind to decomposing gas, and I'd say is a reasonable conclusion, if not for the fact that the Pale King has more than a couple ties to wind that can't quite be as easily explained

(footage by Ccmanci, gif by me)

The monarchflies that become the monarchwings also generate wind, made obvious by said wind stopping upon obtaining the wings

Their exact relation to the king is unclear (part of him? fragments of him? spawn of him? simbiotic to the Wyrm?) however they're undeniably connected judging by their name and appeareance This, while more shaky than the decomposing process of an unmeasurable Wyrm, could still be explained as the individual flies simply having such a strong flapping

but the connections to the wind don't stop here

Both Quirrel and Godseeker describe the winds as guiding them to the kingdom, with Godseeker apparently equating the winds to the king's lingering power (that power beacons to Hallownest -> these winds carry us to the gods)

The same wind that coincidentally makes it impossible for you to leave Hallownest in a straightforward way, even if just within gameplay

Specific winds that both draw bugs to Hallownest and deter them from leaving, certainly sounds like something that'd work alongside/ as part of the Wyrm's Beacon, to "pull bugs into their thrall" you could even say

Found this in my old files. Figured tumblr might enjoy it lol

BESTIES!!!

im aware that knight doesn't speak and didn't really become a god but lord of shades is close enough shdhshdhs

SHE IS MY GRANDMA NO ONE TOUCH HER >:(((((

Granny Ferone

Aphidoidea's fastest grandma, Peno's wife and a flower pot collector. I was planning to write about how Ferone and Peno met in Stories from the sidelines aka a one shot collection for side characters, but I'm still not sure if anyone would read it.

After Canitia discovered glass in one of the chapters, she received glasses and can finally see her beloved husband properly.

ID start: A doodle of a newborn, non-void Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight. They're held in four hands by their father, The Pale King. They're smaller than his palms, tiny and round with closed eyes and round, nobby horns, and a short fluffy mane around their neck and down their back. They're squirming in his grasp and holding one of his thumbs with their muzzle pressed against it. End ID.

ID start: A doodle page of a newborn, non-void Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight. In the first doodle, they're held up in one hand by The Pale King, squirming and grasping at his fingers as their squeak, their mouth wide open and tiny teeth and mandibles visible. In the second doodle, they're laying on their tummy and quinting their eyes, looking quite grumpy, a text next to them says "Just opened their eyes and unhappy about the light". In the third doodle, they're being feed meet by their father, they're tiny enough that he has to use only one of his fingers to help them get the tiny meat chunks as they bite on his finger and hold his knuckles for support. End ID.

ID start: Two doodles of The Pale King from Hollow Knight as a child. In one he's a newborn baby, tiny and stubby with a little nubby crown, and a short fluffy mane aroubd his neck that runs down to his centipede fail, his eyes still closed, he's laying on his tummy. In the other doodle he's bigger, toddler aged, with a bit shaper features than the newborn but still rounder, his crown is short and still rounded, and his mane is fluffier and longer, and he has big round eyes; he's sitting hunched over with the second set of his arms lifted up and he's looking up and to the right, his sharp brow gives him a sort of pernament grumpy face. End ID.
