can we get a trans rights from Zote the Mighty?

While I personally couldn't care less for the concept of gender itself, I applaud any who are brave enough to choose their own fate (as per precept 6) and change their gender away from what was arbitrarily assigned to them at birth.

And so, I shall always fight for trans rights! Any oppressors and rulemakers who deny right to anyone must be vanquished, and their laws ignored as per precept 40!

no zote would be told be told hornet was going(?) to pharloom and then specifically avoid it

or he would accidentally go to pharloom while trying to avoid it and then claim he went there on purpose

It doesn't matter what I think Zote would do. It matters if he's mentioned in Silksong. If he isn't, I'll probably send Zote on an adventure to a new kingdom that I make up or find a different video game for him to go to. Maybe Undertale? They're both underground and it could have some fun interactions. I would also have to pick an actual scale for Hallownest.

As you may know, I am writing a fanfic about the lore behind the blog. I have been making good progress and should release what I have on the 20th (when I can actually get an AO3 account)

It will follow the Translator, a mysterious entity that has been following Zote around in secret and making him answer user submitted questions that it has translated into the language of the bugs. The fic will be in to format of a series of logs reporting what the Translator sees. I've been writing them in real time, and whatever I wrote becomes canon to the blog as soon as I write it down. I got bored today, so here's a potential design of the Translator!

I haven't really settled on what the translator will be, but one possibility is that it's a sort of probe sent from our world. It has a camera for a face, hundreds of tiny legs, two arms, and a radio broadcaster/reciever to remain in contact with the human world.

What do you have to say to people who don't support same-sex relationships?

I support no relationships! Entering a relationship leaves you open to betrayal! That being said, those who support opposite sex relationships but not same sex ones must be slain on sight! They hate based on pointless nothings.

Do you guys like the parasite zote theory?

I might be stupid

Anyways we should burn greyroot down

It's funny

That root is not my mother! Whatever she has told you is false! Do not trust that traitor!

Does it bother you that your horns aren’t symmetrical?

My horns are perfectly symmetrical! What are you talking about? Begone!

Hey Zote, let’s say, hypothetically, that a stag was about to come down a split path, where 5 innocents are tied down to the ground on one path and only one person is tied to the ground on the other path. The stag is about to run down the path with 5 people, killing them all, but you can ring a bell that will switch the stag to go down the path with 1 person, only killing that singular person. Would you let the stag kill 5 people, or switch its path and only kill one person?

While most people are lying, cheating, scoundrels, it is still my duty as a knight to protect them, and so I must ring the bell.
