I love how Lihaku doesnt give A FUCK, he's always like "what's going on?" and Maomao hits him with the "don't worry about it, kitten" and he goes "okay 💞 yay 💞" like 😭🙏🏼

I gotta love how Gaoshun has Maomao alone basically for the first time since they met and the first thing he says is "can you please stop looking down on Jinshi like he was a bug, it's making him horny af and I don't want me or anyone else to have to deal with his freak".

Like can you PLEASE give that man a break 🙏🏼

I kinda love the fact that you cannot interact with the Pale King in your playthrough.

You cannot get more dialogue from dream nailing him, his spirit is not there when you arrive to the end of the White Palace, and you are able to see a brief moment of his past only in two scarce occasions. Instead, you can only dethrone his withered corpse and complete Kingsoul with the half-fragment he was hiding to finally unite with your siblings and find peace in the Void.

Whatever you make up of him is entirely up to you and the storyline you choose to believe. And yet, somehow listening to the bugs that offered their stories about the kingdom, the pieces of lore tablets placed and hidden by the bugs in their territories, the lingering souls that still wander through the emptiness of Hallownest, and the corpses you can dream nail that would ask for the King, wondering why he left them to rot under the infection, almost cannot compare to the realness of seeing your sibling, the King's hand-crafted and favoured child, tragically chained and sealed away within their imperfect self, failing to fulfill the only duty they were created for: saving the kingdom. You can see them trying to fight, the great Hollow Knight, stabbing themselves to try to stop the infection from making them hostile and attacking you. The imperfect Vessel, ruined by the attachment to a King, a father, that only had one thing in mind: no cost too great.

But after all, the infection won over. And the Pale King has no more say in the story.

He cannot try to redeem himself, he cannot try to explain his course of action, what beliefs did he have that would justify the cost of it all. Instead, we just see his corpse cowardly hidden in an unreachable place and the rotting fruits of his mistakes: a kingdom that demonstrates that every single thing that could have gone wrong actually went wrong. And I am so, so obsessed with it.

Probably the best part of the trailer by far. Best game ever.

Some more memories of SPG at The Engine Shed because I miss them and I am quite fond of the purple light they had going on.

(Can you tell I enjoyed taking pictures of Zer0? 😭)

I truly can't believe these people read/watch Apothecary Diaries and consider Jinshi a rapist???? What the fuck is wrong with their critical thinking skill? Or should I say, their lack of it. Holy fuck dude.
