GUYS
GUYS ITS SO FUCKING OBVIOUS WHAT HAPPENED TO GREENPATH VESSEL OH MY GOD.
EVERYONE WHO SAID HORNET DID IT IS WRONG AND HERE'S WHY.
Ok so. One of Greenpath Vessel's (Geep for short) most notable traits is that their nail is stabbed into them. Why would Hornet stab them with their own mail instead of her needle? That's right because she didn't do it.
But that begs the question, if Hornet didn't do it, then who did?
They did it to themselves.
Now that might sound absurd until you realize that there is AN EXTREMELY NOTABLE VESSEL THAT ALSO STABS THEMSELVES.
THATS RIGHT BABY ITS THE HOLLOW KNIGHT.
In conclusion, Geep is doing the EXACT. SAME. THING. That Hollow did. The only difference is that they were much weaker, and though were most definitely infected didn't have the ENTIRE SOURCE of it inside their head.
the fandom urge to make every complex villain/character either:
"let me strip this character of all nuance: they never did anything wrong in their entire life and they are just a victim. if you ever say a mean word about them you are [insert bad thing] apologist and a bad person!"
or
"let me strip this character of all nuance: they're a monster and were born a monster, they are incapable of change and deserve every bad thing that has ever happened to them. if you like this character or relate to them in any way you are [insert bad thing] apologist and a bad person!"
it's been too long since we've given you a new preview image apotheosis apotheosis apotheosis
Am I the only one who cannot wait for the Silksong BUT also for the new fanfictions AND fanarts that the Silksong will bring?
no voice to cry profanities🖕
my tablet stopped working before i could get anywhere with this but here they are with some birthday hats for yesterday :)
i need to be a little abnormal about hollow knight maybe. like. i dont know. does anyone remember playing it the first time. you talk to every character every single time. you dreamnail all your friends because you're curious. you learn that willow eats bugs and is considering eating you. quirrel disappears and you freak out. you find tiso dead. maybe cloth helped you fight traitor lord. maybe she didnt. how did you feel? it was either she died, right there, or she sat up in dirtmouth bored and waiting for something. what was more worth it? bretta loves you. bretta stops. maybe you fight zote [but weirdly buff] ten times and she thinks youre cool again. cornifer is a friendly face wherever you go and then you can't talk to him again.
i don't know. it was something to me how it was always better in the middle. it was the best when you got to have everyone and before they were all taken from you. and beyond the story left behind in the death of everything, i think that was its own little tragedy. that you just lose them by virtue of letting them continue on their journey.
how many of you played again and refused to talk to quirrel when he waited by the lake? how many didn't let tiso go to the coliseum? how many didn't save cloth until after fighting traitor lord - or just didn't bother to fight traitor lord at all?
like. you get it right. freezing them in time, to keep them all safe, kept forever immortal because you don't want them to die. do you get it
