hoi!!!!

my name's vienna/luci/tea (they/it/zey/he + bug/ant), i follow from @wrylu and i do art usually....

however i also enjoy playing hollow knight (amongst other metroidvanias) and dissecting the game and its lore, talking about fun facts, and educating people on boss/speedrun techniques i seem to know.... (i'm definitely better at the bosses than lore hehe) i'm a big fan of the music as well <3

• 🪲

i'll prattle about:

— hollow knight

— silksong

— arthropods (insects most likely)

— i also like rain world, ori (both games), and other various stuff :-))

• 🐛

- i enjoy being asked things (boss tips, lore drops, opinions on things, etc) so don't be afraid to talk to me!!! (i'm always really busy though, so sorry if i reply late </3) 📮

- my favorite insect families are lepidoptera (caterpillars more so) formicidae, blatteodae, and tettigoniidae!!! 🍃

- i still haven't beaten steel soul on either hk or ss :,^3 (working on hk steel soul atm!! my last save ended at uumuu....)

- uumuu's number one hater (godhome ESPECIALLY) >:^{ /silly joking

- zote is my favorite character!! :-D

- i yumeship with a few characters, check that out here .... (read before int please :-3)

- my only dni (in regards to hk stuff) is lacenet shippers, NO HATE TO ANYBODY WHO SHIPS LACENET, I WISH LACENET SHIPPERS THE BEST :-D /gen (i also kinda avoid people who ship hornet (romantically) with other chars in general because i yumeship with her, super sorry about that!)

- dni proship, trans/homo/xenophobic, racist, maps, + other freaks

Wavewave.. hello hk fandom.... prattling bait..... Lmk your faveee hk and or ss boss (and why....)

my likings lean towards more of the harder bosses like nkg and pure vessel but i find false knight reallllyy satisfying to fight too (despite it being easy), mostly because of speedrun tech hehe (mantis lords/sisters of battle is an obvious pick too....)

for silksong, it's a bit harder to decide since 1) i haven't played in a while 2) there isn't a godhome yet so i can't replay bosses— howeeveer, i like first sinner, and trobbio (both versions) is my all time favorite!! i also find last judge to be pretty fun, even if she's an early game boss (her voice is just so good during the boss it's so brilliant to me)

Hello! My favorite HK boss are easily the Mantis Lords. I just. I love them. I love the design. Everything. I also kinda really like the Radiance although the fight was so hard it took me several days to beat and it was burned into my eyelids for a while after.

Now for Silksong!! Omg. I don't know, all of the bosses are so awesome to fight. I think I like First Sinner as well, but I also really like Phantom. I like them as a character and I like their environment (the Mist is actually an amazing concept), sets the entire scene before you fight them :>. Kinda sad Lace doesn't really seem to acknowledge them :c. Also I like when characters scream so naturally I really like them. They're actually one of my favorite characters of the entire game.

I also really like the Cogwork Dancers & Clover Dancers. I really love how their story is conveyed through their music and fight design, but also the music itself is just a banger (although that goes for the entirety of the HK & Silksong soundtrack).

I also like Seth because of the soundtrack. Like yeah technically the song belongs to Nyleth but when I was on my first playthrough, I had this epic moment where I stunned Seth and GMS screamed in the background as the music swelled. So that memory is burned into my brain. Also I really like Seth's story; I love him!!

Hi there! super sorry about my late reply, i've been busy!! I love this sooo much THANK YOU FOR YAPPING!!! /gen

I'm so happy to see another phantom bossfight fan :^3 also YES!! cogwork dancers' soundtrack is the def the best one in terms of storytelling i believe!! that's super epic (the seth and GMS scream part), i love that for you Hehe :^3 /gen silly

And i WOULD love to be friends, if you're still up for it! :^3

has anybody noticed that garro (spirit in the spirits glade) looks a bit like the enemies in the coral tower/watcher at the edge :^o similar color, head shape, armor, weapon too....

speaking about watcher at the edge, the dialogue of garro kind of reminds me of how the watcher at the edge presumably 'stood strong in the midst of a (sand) storm'....

Probably just coincidence, but oh well! :-D
