Is the wyrm leetol? Can I hold him in the palm of my hand? I put da wyrm in a jar and shake it.

[ “I dislike this line of questioning.” ]

He’s not *that* short. Plenty of bugs are this size. The new form he made is not so puny as could get stuffed into a *jar*.

[occasionally-pale-king]

Before the... incident. Did you and The White Lady ever consider having any children?

[ “I mean I think we did have children.” The wyrm thinks about it for a second, adding; “many, even.” ]

“I believe that was a quite significant thing that did, in fact, happen.”

[occasionally-pale-king]

I want to hand you lemon juice do you like it 🥺

[ “hm. sour.” ]

You watch as his entire face puckers, momentarily, before he regains his composure.

[occasionally-pale-king]

Hello! I would just like to say that every time I see a post from this blog on my dash I get a big smile, because it reminds me of my days when I was really in the Hollow Knight fandom! I appreciate you and I hope you have a good day!

[[ Kissing u on the forehead Anon, mwah 💛 I’m admittedly not as much into Hollow Knight as once I was either, but I love picking up PK and rattling him around and holding him out here like “everyone look at this stinky lil wyrm. He has all the brain cells in the world and he uses none of them for forethought :)”

Which is a way I am trying to say “I’m glad my silly times are still much fun for you even if you’re not as in to Hollow Knight as you were before” heeheehee ✨ ~Mod Coffee ]]

[occasionally-pale-king]

Yo. Have 20 pounds of sharp cheddar cheese. No you can't say no. God bye

[ A box is dropped onto the ground, an audible THUD shaking the air and startling the Pale King.

He turns to the box, which is significantly larger than he is. “This seems excessive,” he mutters, looking up at what could easily become a home for so many bugs, if he still had any under his thrall. ]

And you’re quite sure I can’t decline?

[occasionally-pale-king]

Is there a way for you to check in on the world that doesn't involve you actually going there? Like, a crystal ball or some godly sight?

[ “My prescience was limited, even before.” ]

I only had the ability to see what would affect me, when I was a Wyrm; the scope of it shrank when I adopted the form of the bugs.

And again, when I died, my vision shrank in scope; I cannot see beyond the memory of the castle, now.

So, no, I cannot scry the happenings of Dirtmouth. I would if I were able.

[occasionally-pale-king]

Best wishes to you! Have you been to Dirtmouth yet? the place is a lot more alive than it was before. (also hope that you and your wife will get to enjoy the Mario movie when it comes out)

[ “I have not been outside since before my kingdom fell to ruin;

Even then, rarely did I have cause to travel so far as Dirtmouth.” ]

And now, I am trapped in a memory; a ghost of what once was. I fear I shall not be able to visit that quaint province ever again, outside of some twist of fate even I could not foresee.

He lowers his voice to a whisper, after a moment.

And… I am afraid I do not know of any ‘Mario Movie’.

[occasionally-pale-king]

Yay, you're back! love you king

[ “Thank you.” He is smiling, insofar as he can smile. ]

It is nice to know that even now, there are still subjects who remember my name.

[occasionally-pale-king]

Alright, here’s my next question.

From the gates of the palace to the throne room, how many buzzsaws are involved in the security?

Without your wings, and without deactivating any, how many would you need to go through?

[ “None at all.” He wags his hands, as though to appease someone. ]

[ “Watch this.” He is standing directly in front of a buzz-saw. Which he turns and runs into with a ‘thunk’ that barely registers above the whine.

You’re pretty sure you also heard him mutter ‘shit’ just before turning into a cloud of SOUL. ]

[ Glimbuscorp said:

*Climbs through the path of pain and observes from a distance* The fools,thinking they have to do that when they could just fold themselves like paper. Isnt that what you do? Just stand and fold yourself to get past the blades? ]

Hm. Yes. Something like that.

You can see the cloud of SOUL start to drift off. Perhaps he will reform in the entry of the castle, or maybe the kitchen. It’s only been about a year since he did anything, and even in this unaging place, sometimes he desires a little fictitious snack to enjoy.

[occasionally-pale-king]

Why did you take yourself and your palace into the dream realm?

"The answer is simple. To run away from my problems and not face the consequences."

"Now that I've been here for awhile, contemplating my actions, I see how much of a fool I was. I should of stayed my ground, and not of ran away. But, I did anyhow, and there's no way for me to go back."

[occasionally-pale-king]

do you miss your wife. tails? do you miss her a lot?

The king sighed softly, rubbing his temples. "Of course I miss her. I would be a fool not to. She was the love of my life, my one and only. We've been together for centuries, and all that thrown away for my selfish gain."

[occasionally-pale-king]

you're in a deeply isolated space and everyone but the white lady you cared about is dead. we got some compassion for u my dude.

He snorted, "I do not deserve pity. I have done so many bad things in the past, and continued to make bad choices. I ignore my loving wife, I didn't give the Hollow Knight any compassion, I sealed them away just to keep this ever ruined kingdom from officially falling... well, it didn't work, and it was all for nothing."

[occasionally-pale-king]

Pale king what pure vessel doing now?

"I... do not know. I can not leave this enternal prison, and therefore not be able to see anything in the living world."

...

"I doubt they would want to see me, considering all the harm I brought to them. They didn't deserve it, and it would be best if I was just a forgotten memory for them."

[occasionally-pale-king]

Rephrasing my previous question: how many buzzsaws do you need to weave through to get a glass of water?

[[ “None.” 

You can see the buzzsaws behind him, echoing through otherwise silent castle walls at a high-pitched whine. ]]

To drive the point home, he sips the water, wearing the same smug expression. Who’s weaving through buzzsaws?

[occasionally-pale-king]

*Marches in and drops a heap of roses on the king,thorning him sufficiently*

[ “hello again, Gooples.” ]

[ “howdy :)” ]
