Someone who has never played Hollow Knight judges The Bugs (Part 1)
(Click for full images)
Had a very fun two days of showing my good friend @pleistocene-polina some video game bugs.
She had many thoughts.
PART 1 - PART 2 - PART 3

More bugaboos to add to the collection
The difference between how you acquire the ability to regenerate Soul and Silk respectively in both games is so funny.
In Silksong it is acquired from a kindred soul, a friend Hornet deeply respects and understands. Someone Hornet clearly needed, someone who can understand her treatment from her Aunts.
Eva is a mythical thing, she is an artificial life form that was created for Weavers to have their own god. She is a failed attempt that needs her iron coffin to stay alive. She has better Sight than most bugs and helps Hornet become more powerful and in tune with herself.
Her conversations with Hornet are full of lore and deepens our understanding of Hornet's character.
At the end of questline she request for Hornet to bind her to maybe grasp smallest bit of freedom.
It is easy to understand why binding her improves Hornet's ability to regenerate Silk, as Higher Beings can seemingly regenerate infinite amount of Soul and Eva being a failed attempt at creating a Higher Being, her binding improves Hornet's ability to regenerate Silk. It makes sense even though it is limited by the Game Mechanics, in lore version would be pretty much always active.
In Hollow Knight... game continues being frustratingly cryptic.
Salubra is one of the many traders we meet through the game. She isn't anything special outside of being an npc, therefore having a unique origin. She doesn't know people in the town are dead. She gives some lore drops but they are vague at best.
Their relation to Knight is Salubra being horny for Knight and that's that.
How the ability works is a mystery. It is called Salubra's Blessing when you gain it but I couldn't find an icon for it in the inventory.
Honestly it has two explanations.
Godseeker is right and Hallownest is randomly filled with gods, which would be hilarious actually. Pharloom attacks Hallownest, they get routed by jumpy guys then a Primal Aspid randomly kills Big Bad Yarn.
Knight is feeling good after being kissed and they pull from their random centuries worth Soul stock they must have as Vessels are capable of fitting a God inside themselves, Soul stock limitation is purely a game play mechanic.
Honestly contrast here is absolutely hilarious. Also if there's a Salubra Blessing icon please show it to me.
Also, the more I look the more I feel like Knight is randomly holding back. Like how you gain Abyss Shriek, Knight dude since when you could take Shade Form randomly? I am also pretty sure you can get it before Shade Cloak, so no. That shouldn't be an explanation.

One week, here we go :D
Day 5 of nonsense!
spinning a wheel and drawing a new hk character every day.
today was Salubra!
I appreciate her dialogue, but the way she moves and sounds really pisses me off. I wish her the best but faaaaaar away from me.
Her body shape reminds me of Bardoon.
I was gonna say more but tumblr glitched out the first time I tried writing this so I just cut it short
