I don’t have a lot of posts, but if you like any of my ideas, feel free to use them for your own fanworks. You don’t need to credit me. But don’t use any of it for ai. I specify ‘fan works’, because I don’t want Disney or something using my ideas lol. Also I’m over 18 years old.

Rule #34 by Fish in a Birdcage is making me think of Pure Vessel and Radiance

[dr-bugg]

With my toxic RadiHollow obsession, I am also working on a little comic of the sealing of the Pure Vessel. And it will have arranged marriage symbolism and parallels. I’m projecting oldest daughter syndrome onto Pure Vessel, and marrying someone they don’t want to, but do it anyways for their family/kingdom.

PK leading PV through the kingdom and into The Temple of The Black Egg reminds me of a father leading his daughter down the wedding aisle. Which historically is done for misogynistic purposes. Daughters are property of fathers until their ownership is transferred to their husbands. PV is now ‘under ownership’ of the Radiance. PK or the Dreamers feel like wedding officiants or witnesses to the marriage. The area where PV is chained feels like a wedding alter. Alters can be used for heinous reasons, such as human sacrifice, which is also what feels like PV is going through. PV is sacrificed/married on a ritualistic alter. All of this just reminds me of how much oldest daughter syndromers sacrifice of themselves for the family and the tragedy of it all. (Also, PV losing their arm and their body rotting and crumbling and cracking reminds me of oldest daughter syndromers losing parts of themselves, breaking under pressure, developing chronic pain.)

I wonder if Team Cherry was somewhat inspired by by Zoteboat, which is partially what inspired them to make Sea of Sorrow. It’s like 50/50 if it’s true, but that would be so fucking hilarious if it is. I would go insane over a Zoteboat reference in Sea of Sorrow.

Grimmkin and the Burning Bugs from Silksong seem very similar. I wonder if Burning Bugs are trying to become Grimmkin or something like that?

I want the White Lady to meet Sherma and immediately adopt him so bad

I headcannon non-weaver bugs can manipulate/produce silk too. The pale king has infinite soul magic (I think?) but that doesn’t mean he is where all soul originates from. So Grand Mother Silk can produce infinite silk, but all silk doesn’t originate from her. I have that head cannon because of silk moths etc.

The baby vessels look like kodama from Princess Mononoke! Also it’s cool that kodama are little tree/forest spirits and the vessels’ mom is basically a tree goddess.

In silksong, the chapels that hold the corpses(?) remind me of the dreamers in hollow knight. They are both protected by enemies. Maybe the corpses are actually dreamers idk. I really want to draw them when they were alive, they’d look so cool!

I headcannon that in silksong, the reason Hornet doesn’t just make her own crafting kits and tool pouches is because these items are made of special materials. Her weapons and tools to build could tear/break apart or scratch or rip the kits and pouches if they were made insufficiently. So it’s easier to get these items from others, who have already made those.

I'm too lazy to research about this right now, but I wanted to post this so I wouldn't forget the idea. I think Pure Vessel has a specific arm it use's for casting magic. And that arm is the one we see has rotted off or was removed in some way in the chamber it is sealed in. Maybe Pure Vessel removed the arm when it started weaking from the Radiance, because she was trying to use it's magic arm for some reason idk.

Ive been speculating about the extent of the pale king’s foresight

How far in the future could he see? Did he see all possibilities or only the way forward? If he saw that an eternal kingdom was impossible why try? Did he intentionally create the hollow knight flawed foreseeing the eventual clash between the knight and radiance?

If he sees the full future would it be foolish to try to fullfill it or foolish to fight against it? Is this a sisyphus happy moment?

au idea: PK is cursed with not having foresight to see the best possible outcome. He doesn’t know he has this curse. (Am I going to write this? Most likely not.)

[dr-bugg]

I suck at writing what I'm intending to explain. What I meant was an au where PK's foresight is limited. It hides the best possible outcomes. He does not know this. He is so certain that the future is only doomed. A self fulfilled prophecy. Destiny set in stone.

Hollow knight world building idea: artificial wings. We do have cogflies and wingsmolds, but it’s fun to imagine equip-able artificial wings for non-flying bug people.

Also, the world of hollow knight probably doesn’t have real-life aircraft, it wouldn’t be practical for tunnels. But if there is travel on the surface, it’d be fun to imagine aircraft that looks like Ghibli’s fantasy aircraft (particularly Howl’s moving castle). I like how some of it looks like it utilizes some living non-sentient beings, sometimes like a giant cyborg bug or something. https://studioghibliaircraftanalysis.blogspot.com/2014/06/howls-moving-castle-and-hello-again.html?m=1 I skimmed through this article, it looks fun.

I like the idea that Hornet has microscopic vision. I’m not sure what kind, but her vision isn’t electron microscopic. This is a great boon her tool building.

There is a Hollow Knight fic permanently bouncing around in my brain where the original game ends. Radiance is defeated. Ghost is fished up from the void and everyone is in recovery mode. And things are going well! Only for the Pale King to reappear like "Wonderful! My vessel plan worked and the Radiance is gone. Follow, my Pure Vessel, we must start rebuilding" and he toils along like nothing happened.

-and Hollow falls back into being a "pure vessel" like slipping into a warm hotspring. All that work Ghost and Hornet did with them, the painstaking sign language lessons and tentative friendships formed with a choice few villagers from Dirtmouth, all of that instantly washed away. They It is pure. Father said so. Father said it succeeded. Father said it succeeded. Why should it correct him? Why should anyone correct him? Everything can be rebuilt and go back to normal and it can be pure and he can order it around to do all the mundane things a King surely shouldn't have to do himself and Everything Will Be Fine Forever.

Never mind that its body continues to tremble and fail. Never mind that it is having to hide the way its breath now hitches from an eternity of pus filling its lungs, never mind that its eyesight is dimmed from an eternity of staring into an artificial sun, never mind the entire missing arm and certainly never mind the ever-growing collection of sights and sounds and touches and tastes that leave it trembling in terror as if it is back in the chains.

Hollow just can't help itself.

Ghost and Hornet are desperately trying to convince the Pale King that reality fared far differently after he essentially abandoned his kingdom, and that he doesn't get to march back in here and resume as if nothing happened. But PK is having none of it. Look at his Pure Vessel. It is alive. Look at the Radiance. She is gone. Nothing is convincing him because he can't possibly have been wrong about any of this- no cost too great.

And Hornet looks Hollow in the eye, and begs it to say something. Father will not believe her, will not believe Ghost. There is only one person he will believe, and they all know it.

Hornet asks that Hollow confess its impurity and explain that the vessel plan failed.

But for the very first time in its existence,

. . .

Hollow gives in to what it wants.

(It's only a matter of time before everything falls apart, of course, but Hollow has long since been used to that.)

I bet Ghost tells Pale King “The only reason that I haven’t killed you yet, is because Holly asked me very nicely. And this is there first ever time they’ve stated a preference. I might maim you in a way that is unnoticeable to Holly if you keep this up.”
