[linedol2]

Map around Shooting Star Kingdom

shaped like a star. Void Kingdom being like like the smallest kingdom with messy edges that is near Shooting Star Kingdom and Sphegypt,

Ok, the void kingdom in hollow knight I headcanon like I'm pretty sure most people do to have been submerged by the void sea because snail shamans and the whole history of evolution of life theme in game

In the background of the abyss we see bark like pillars with dalek eggs

(not my image, found on 2019 wiki guide)

And lots of circular shell structures

It wouldn't be remiss to assume that the abyss was alot like earths deep oceans but bug or these guys

It wouldn't be wrong to assume the geo caches and really just geo are what used to be void citizens assuming because of the statues the void kingdom encompassed all of hallowsnest

It's also fun to imagine alot of the stuff we explore in game are what used to be underwater, under void lol, caves

And because I like Aerial, mixing these assumptions together you get that the void kingdom was likely made of large shell structures as seen in the first drawing

As for the life blood, that where life blood beast and Deepnest come in, specifically glowing shrooms

So, the life blood cocoons are the life blood beast babies and that's where the whole taboo thing came from, but the butterfly structure around it is more like an unfertilized egg, it's what your meant to eat

Don't let the movement and flying trick you, the life blood beast is probably some kind of literal god that was dating the void - it has magic sperm we don't know what that does

Cause its in God's home, probably meaning the void kingdom was rich in ores like pale ore n stuff, so everything was probably covered in those copper swirls but void er ized

Anyway that stuff was fine to eat, cause these are fish bugs not humans or homosapiens

But like the rocks and stones in studio giblies Laputa, the way to extract the healing properties of the egg sperm butterfly things was lost with the arrival of the radiance

Head canon the radiance was with this guy

(gamer walkthroughs)

Which is either how she got the in or they was like fuck this and she killed them

Anyway

Mosquitoes have a water stage as larvae, whoes to say they didn't string together like frogs and make illuminating grasses

Whoes to say plants weren't like that too, for all we know coral could talk and then diverged into mushrooms in the fungal wastes and the glowy shrooms in Deepnest

Making the shroom warriors and stuff not plants, but animals
