Adventures of New Hallownest Episode list below cut!!
I recently went back and visited the episode list for my post-canon series I was planning a while ago and decided I might as well post it. There's a lot of fun ideas in here, that I don't know if I'll ever get around to writing. It's a very long post below the cut. Somewhere around 100 episode ideas XD I lost track. They aren't numbered because this isn't actually the finished list, and there is still some reordering that could be done. (I should also add that this whole list was written months before Silksong released so there is no content related to SS here.)
Enjoy!!

They travel the breadth of the kingdom from the crossroad ruins to the forge of the ancient Nailsmith in attempt to complete this surprisingly difficult task. Ghost desiring nothing more than to gift its sibling something meaningful and Mato determined to earn the Hollow knight's trust. Hollow is unwilling to communicate the importance of its old nail. The only thing it has left of the Pale king.
Misfit Myla: The survivors of the infection are recovering, and Myla feels better than ever, aside from the fact that she doesn’t have any friends outside of her little lumafly and Ghost and has trouble in her attempts to make more.

Lifeblood quest: The siblings embark on a mission to revive a lost sibling with lifeblood. Hornet is anxious about meeting with the broken vessel once again, considering their unfortunate past. Ghost wants more than anything to bring its kin back, and while Hollow is eager to assist, it seems to deeply distrust the use of lifeblood. A substance the old king had forbid.
Fate of the nightmare's heart: In order to save everyone in the Grimm troupe including itself, Ghost must banish and destroy the nightmare heart. But that would mean saying goodbye to its most loyal friend. Its siblings insist that it severs itself from heart through this banishment, but Ghost is determined to find another way.

Pale in comparison: Hornet has been practicing since she was a little girl hoping to one day best her older sibling Hollow in a duel, and even after all this time she seems unable to. She has the old members of the pale court Ogrim and Ze'mer train her the way they had trained Hollow long ago, in attempt to better master its skills.
War-paint master: While hunting in her new territory, the eldest mantis lord meets the paint master Sheo, who is there to paint the scenery, she challenges him to duel before allowing such a thing, and after he surprises her with his warriors skills the two become unlikely friends.
Quirrel's class quest: Quirrel embarks on his new quest to locate even one bug who studied under Monomon the teacher like him. Hoping, that because she had many students, at least one other had survived. Little Ghost is happy to assist in his search, which turns out to be surprisingly difficult.
Lady Emilitia and the Eternal knights: Emilitia convinces the seeker knights to help her takeover the city of tears in exchange for eternal life. After Lemm is suddenly betrayed by his guard, Ogrim must help him to escape the city through the waterways, a crude place that the old relic seeker would much rather avoid.
Curse and sacrifice: While studying in the deep caverns of the abyss, Quirrel accidently reads aloud an incantation that will curse the kingdom to be swallowed by the void sea unless he sacrifices himself to the void instead. Afraid to tell his friends what he's done, he instead does his best to spend some time with each of them, and finish the work he had started before giving his life to the void in exchange for the safety of his home.
Daughter of three queens: Hornet prepares to leave Hallownest for the very first time, to join Quirrel and her siblings in finding allies beyond their territory to help their kingdom grow. Still deeply attached to her home, and her old position as the kingdom's sentinel, Hornet struggles with the idea of leaving. She goes to the White lady, and the memorial grounds of her mother Herrah, and mentor Vespa in hopes of finding closure before taking this next step.
Gifting a hand: Before embarking on its quest beyond the kingdom, Hollow desires a prosthetic replacement for its missing limb and attempts to craft one for itself utilizing materials and assistance from all across Hallownest, but nothing feels right. Eventually Hollow breaks down, deciding it cannot leave the kingdom it was made for, and Ghost suggests it speak with the king about the situation by using the charm. The old king may be the only being who can grant his child the peace of mind it desires. And help Hollow to restore its missing limb.
Wonders of wanderer's waste: Quirrel and Cornifer share with their nervous friends stories of the world beyond their kingdom to help inspire them before they leave for the very first time on their expedition.

He looks back at these recent years grateful for his decision to stay, to live on and become a part of their family. At last finding a place for himself in the world.
First farewell: Little Ghost treasures a final day in its beloved home before it begins its journey and looks back at all the progress its kingdom, and its family has made, since the end of the infection.
