I cannot believe that I just spent the last several minutes considering animating two of my ocs with a song from Mamma Mia.

It should be noted that I cannot animate, and that these ocs only barely fit the song lyrics.

[nerd-warning]

New digital circus episode and…

That was a lot.

Maybe I will say more later once i get my thoughts in order.

How did you get into quirrelnet? I'm realising I don't really know how anyone else got into the ship and I'd be interested to hear other people's stories of how they came to be consumed by the same rarepair

Oh, this is a fun question. Honestly, this just gets into my nature, my way of entering fandoms and going "OKAY now who can I ship?" because I'm a sucker for ships I can be cutely obsessed with. I can't believe its been like 5 years since I entered this fandom LOL but yeah! I saw them, and their potential, and went "these two will do" and it was history from there. The only thing was that I soon realized that OKAY DAMN they really are a rarepair, there are much more popular ships for both Hornet and Quirrel-- but I was just... obsessed with them. I'm a real particular person in the way that when I latch myself onto a ship I tend to only ship those two characters with each other and no one else. Though that's kinda changed nowadays, lol. Also, back then weirdly enough people were BIG hating on them, and also there was this-- REALLY WEIRD PERSON WHO KEPT PESTERING PEOPLE TO DRAW THEM??? So it made me scared to be more open about shipping them. And that's just stupid as fuck, and what taught me another thing called NOT GIVING A FUCK!!! The ship hurts nobody. Overall, other than mothy backstory on how she started shipping Quirrelnet, I just really like the potential for their dynamic. Like sure yea, they BARELY interact canonically (motioning at the Quirrel comic, their only canonical interaction) BUT THE BUILDING BLOCKS ARE THERE!!! Maybe I'm delusional, I'm delusional about a lot of things, actually. I just am really fond of the serious lady x friendly feller dynamic and how they could bounce off of each other, especially in regards to their connections to two of the dreamers and yada yada ALL THAT GOOD MESS!!! Of course I could say more, I've been brainrotting abt them for years. But that'd make this longer than it should be. lol. BUT I LOVE THEM LOTS! They were my original HK ship, and I'm sticking with them until I get tired of these bugs (that won't be happening anytime soon) They may not be my top favorite, but they'll always have a place in my heart <3

[annoying--moth]

Okay our stories regarding quirrelnet are so eerily similar because literally same??? I too joined the fandom roughly 5 years ago, have been obsessed with romance and shipping for about as long as I can remember, chose them because why not (though the difference is I found them through an animatic on YouTube), they were also one of my og HK ships, and I also can't multiship??? What the heck are you like my clone or something /pos

I wasn't really aware of the general fandom's attitude towards them back then though... I just remember being frustrated that I couldn't find any content for them lmao. I am curious about this weird person pestering people to draw them though... I need the tea

[angeliccynthious]

OKAY YEAH THAT'S CRAZY AND HILARIOUS older moth and younger moth who both love quirrelnet (and other similarities) how lovely LMAO Honestly, I'm insane. Very insane. I went to the ends of the earth to find Quirrelnet art and-- I know well I had a folder where I stored it all on my old phone, but I yeeted that shit. I also know I came to a point where I figured out their Korean ship name, which is 호퀴. Anywho, in doing that (looking everywhere for art of them) I often came across people talking MAD shit about them, like on Twitter especially-- god people never stop shittalking ships they don't like on Twitter. I can say a lot of the stuff about that weird person is either gone or buried, I just know I saw some posts of them directly ASKING folks to draw them, and one specific tweet w/ someone talking about it. Wacked.

[isnt-that-grape]

@angeliccynthious got me into Quirrelnet because I loved the Quirrelnet fan kids she made. It was already a ship I liked cuz I thought it was cute but didn’t really think more about it until we started brainrotting together lol

All the art here belongs to her btw <3

[angeliccynthious]

SWEETEST BABY <3

[nerd-warning]

While I don’t actively remember how I first got into the ship, your art was definitely one of the first major sources of ship food I found. Thanks for that!

And now here I am, spinning them in my head again after Silksong, and even considering writing fanfic of them again.

[wonderful-rp-resources]

Lowkey idk WHO to tag SOOOO whoever sees this COUNT YOURSELF TAGGED! GO CRAZY!

[nerd-warning]

Probably around three years old? Idk I have always been an on/off drawer. But I got into digital art at fourteen.

I also don’t know who to tag, so consider yourself tagged if you see this.

[nerd-warning]

GUESS WHO MOVED OUT!

It was my best friend. She moved out. I did too.

[nerd-warning]

Silksong today, going to play it with my mom this evening. So hoping I can avoid spoilers.

This might actually get me to draw Hollow Knight art again.

[nerd-warning]

Silksong in two weeks, heck yeah.

Every single fic update there is an author trying frantically to find the right balance between a nonchalant aside of "leave a comment if you enjoyed =)" and clinging desperately to the coat tails of a random stranger, dragging along behind them on the street wailing "Please, please! I have to know what you thought! I'm desperate to talk to people about this! Ask me about the alliterative repetition! Ask me about the symbolism!"

[nerd-warning]

As a fic writer myself:

I have started putting literary analysis of my own characterizations in the author’s notes.

[nerd-warning]

The idea: draw transformers fanart.

The problem: I have no idea how to draw these robots.

The temporary solution: make humanized designs, that then turn into at least two aus. And a slight obsession.

For now, have a WIP of Orion Pax:

[annoying--moth]

Quirrelnet fic recs (sfw because I only read sfw ^^):

Stressful Travels by hydrangeamaiden - high-key one of my favourite fics of all time, basically just Quirrel crushing on Hornet and even though they don't get together or anything I still think it's really nicely written and a lovely read (and it was probably like the first Quirrelnet fic I ever read lol)

My friend of youth by Nerd_warning - Multi-chapter and unfortunately unfinished, but a pretty cute fic about quirrelnet being friends as kids (I should reread this one actually it's been a hot sec, but I remember it being really good)

Moment's respite by littlebittyhollowbugswrites - Author is actually on here and has posted this fic before but I'm still including it because I like this fic a lot. Cute, fluffy, post-canon fic where quirrelnet make a habit of meeting up in Deepnest and Hornet very much does not want to admit she likes him (but we all know she does)

First Date Jitters by Me! - Is it cheating to put my own fic? I've posted the link to this one on here before but I really like how it turned out so I'm putting it here too! Basically quirrelnet going on a first date post-canon, like the title says, and it's just ~6k words of fluff (I get a little carried away with oneshots ehe...)

I'll probably add to this later because there are a few fics I need to reread cause I high-key forgot what happens in them lol but here y'all go

[nerd-warning]

Holy crud, one of my old stuff is on here.

Honestly, even if I have lost interest in Hollow Knight, the fact that someone still likes what I made makes me pretty happy.

[nerd-warning]

More Dr Nightingale, because I have a mild obsession and wanted to practice shading.

[fintan-pyren]

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Would you read a book with this title?

Absolutely!

Sure, why not?

Probably not

You could not force me at gunpoint to read something with this title
