so

I really don't understand the inclusion of characters like Lugoli, Groal, Phantom, Last Judge, Moss Druid and etc as Non-binary person at any mention that they have neutral prns

"This is a representation of NB's!" Like... Almost... Probably.....Not kind of?...

If a character has They/Them pronouns, it doesn't always mean that they're NB. It sounds like a useless label, and in many cases you'll get bitten off by "mispronouncing" for such a trifle

There are many reasons why they might have such pronouns, like Team Cherry maybe just didn't want to reveal the character's gender (however they said that in some translations of the game gender of character is revealed possibly!because in these languages it is simply impossible to use They/Them)

I saw a post smth like "all NB characters in HK!!!!" and it's... Okay, but why do they need VESSELS there? Sounds like...Larp. Cuz vessels most likely cannot think about their gender... They are genderless.

Unspecified gender on wiki => They/Them prns ≠ NB

tbf TC is seemingly supportive of the headcanon and if i understand the wording correctly agree with it

Hello librafemme woman. I regret to inform you that you are not exempt from exorsexism, especially in this instance. I know you probably aren’t the one reading this, but this is meant to be informative. Allow me to ask: if a character has he/him used for them do you call them male? The answer is probably yes. And the same for she/her users. Unfortunately, in a world where confirmation of genders is very rare, gender = pronouns. I’m sure you can understand with the current political climate it is more important than ever to keep marginalized groups represented in media. But you probably already know that since you’re clearly free of sin and have never been transphobic in any way/s

Taking characters and firmly claiming them as our own shows those that oppose us that we aren’t leaving any time soon. That is the point of representation.

I would also like to note it has been seven years since that was said and the character getting gendered because of the language and treating that as canon is like calling onigiri a jelly donut.

Now, onto the vessels. I’ve been seeing “larp” thrown around a lot lately and I’m not sure what the current meaning is. If what I assume you mean is that you think those that defend the vessels’ agender identities are only pretending to care, I am going to let you think on that. Team Cherry directly confirmed all vessels as genderless. Your point about them being unable to choose a gender (presumably because you think they’re hollow for whatever reason contrary to the narrative) does not stand against word of god. Unless you’ve got your own, unique OC that chooses gendered pronouns, all of them use it/its. I’m quite frankly impressed at the gall one has to write this out and not stop to take a look at the words.

Spitefully yours,

Mossy

I'll be 100% honest I kept writing out a mildly long confession that involved some stuff and other stuff that I am not confident in saying even with anon on

uhhh I think Lace is neat and whenever people argue about her I just think about that one "aroLace" pun I saw once because it lets me project onto a character I like.

i love that sm

I just don't get Tiso/Quirrel. I respect it, of course I do, and I can understand how people enjoy the dynamic they would have. But I don't get it. At least with Quirrelnet I can see how their interactions and the way they play off each other would be interesting, plus their shared past of knowing a dreamer and the fact that they have more in common than they realize. I don't ship Quirrelnet either, but I can understand the appeal. With Tiso and Quirrel, though, I just kind of have to give a confused thumbs up and go about my day. Props to the shippers, I'm happy for you that it's so popular. But it just never clicked for me, I'm afraid.

(It's probably also because I'm such a Quirrel/Knight enjoyer... Quirrel is kind of our fandom bicycle, huh?)

quirrel gets passed around like a blunt in this fandom

[hollowknightconfessions]

So the tennirrel brainrot has gotten worse..

oh this is beautiful

[hollowknightconfessions]

I will never ever ship hornet with a man, I'm sorry. Ofc im not telling anyone what ships they're allowed to ship or not ship, it would be ridiculous for me to do that

But me personally? I will never ship her with male characters. That bug is a lesbian. To me.

go my lesbian bug

Y'know how some christians refer to each other as "my brother in christ"

I think the weavers would call each other "my sister in silk"

wild you made a whole blog just to fill the lacenet tag with lacenet hate. you can just not tag it. you know it goes directly to the people who are looking for lacenet.

WAIT SORRY I DIDNT EVEN REALIZS! IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE A BOTHER I AM A HUGE FAN OF LACENET!! I JUST FORGET HOW TUMBLR TAGGING WORKS IM SO SO SORRY!! i'll go back and remove it from the posts!!!!!

-- mod moth

edit: i believe i removed the tag from the posts that it needed to be removed, if i missed one lmk

[theoiandtuna]

It's actually so considerate of you to go back and correct your mistake, thank you

[hollowknightconfessions]

Yeah I feel really bad, it was not my intention especially as someone who LOVESS lacenet to fill up the tag with hate/discoure around it, i have a bad habit of tagging things with like anything mentioned, partly comes from me not using tumblr anymore (except to run my ask blogs)

if i do anything like this in the future , call it out <3

Quirrelnet is a fave ship of mine too. I thought Silksong might give me a Hornet ship that I could become equally or more attched to but honestly no. Despite the fact that Hornet and Quirrel have no interactions (aside from that one comic) Their dynamic, or potential dynamic i guess 😅 is still unbeatable for me.

They've got the parallel storylines with Both of them making sacrifices for their respective dreamers. Quirrel by leaving his home and memories behind and Hornet by enduring them to the end.

The contrasting personalities, with Quirrel being the optimistic and easy-going dreamer/observer while Hornet is withdrawn, serious, and quick to take action.

They have their similarities too. They are both weathered and wise. Both have a desire to honor their mothers/teachers. They would treat eachother with respect and as equals.

They could also learn and grow from a relationship. Hornet could learn from Quirrel how to be at ease and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Quirrel could learn from Hornet how/when to put to use his observations and be a more active part of the world around him.

There is so much about these two and this ship that I love!! ❤️🩵

AWWWWWEWWWW
