I really really like the comic and the Bug Facts. But this is special.
I know this little bug as "grana cochinilla", it has a rich history in the Mesoamerican culture.

@lilybug-02, ¡Gracias por el dato! It's very cool the enthusiasm and variety in this type of outreach.

Bug Fact: Cochineal are white fluffy insects that are found on Prickly Pear Cactus. For thousands of years and even in the present day, they have been used for the red pigment 'carmine' in fabrics, clothes, and food coloring!

The bug does have to be crushed up, but due to responsible farming of the insect, they're populations are stable and not at risk! <3

Recién volví a ver esta serie y ahora tengo una nueva híper fijación
(WIZARDS SPOILERS) My storyboards from Wizards Ep 10, Douxie & Merlin Farewell scene. This is by far my favorite scene I have EVER boarded of all time. This scene is heavily crafted in terms of visual language and cinematic symbolism, and I had SO much fun planning and executing this scene. I will post a scene breakdown analysis of this sequence soon (hopefully within the next 2 weeks) so y’all can see my thought process and the symbology behind the cinematography (hints: look at the character blocking, directional movement, compositions of the frame, lighting, and see if you can find some themes!) Fun fact, I was crying boarding this scene haha; I listened to “Moving On” from Lost as I boarded and I’m sure that didn’t help.
Edited by the exceptionally talented Joel Fisher (I had to do minor edits on this version, so if there is something clunky that is 100% my fault).
You can find tap through versions of these storyboards and more on my website. Link in my bio!

The Watcher
(script under cut)
(1) Butler: You have a meeting at the Palace at 2, master. Lurien: I see. I’d best get going, then.
(2) Butler: Forgive my impudence, but surely a visit to the Palace calls for something more formal? A fancier cloak or perhaps a brooch? Lurien: For what purpose? Butler: Master? Lurien: What purpose would such a garb serve?
(3) Butler: Well, it would be a show of respect, to the King and his court. To others, it would show your status and rank. Lurien: Precisely. It is for show. Which is why I have no need of it.
(4) Lurien: Take heed, dear butler. Lurien: I am the Watcher, not the watched.

To be the Watcher
(script under cut)
1.
To protect the Vessel, the Dreamers lay sleeping.
Monomon the Teacher In her Archive, surrounded by fog and mist.
Lurien the Watcher In his Spire, looking over the city.
Herrah the Beast In her Den, amidst the deep darkness beyond the kingdom.
Through their devotion, Hallownest lasts eternal.
2.
To be the Teacher is to be in a relationship. Tied to student and pupil.
To be the Beast is to be part of a people. A claim of belonging.
To be a Watcher
3.
To be the Watcher is to become an outsider. To see, but not be seen. To ostracize oneself from the watched. To observe, without taking part.
Watcher, Master, Seal, Dreamer, those are his names.
4.
Lurien the Watcher In his spire, looking over the city.
He does not exist outside of the act.

Herrah!!!
Could you maybe explore your characterizations for Monomon and Herrah? Your take on Lurien is incredible!
Ahhh so sorry this took a while! Thank you for waiting!
I'll use this post to answer about Herrah because I think she needs more love. Monomon will be in a another post (` v ´)
Tumblr media
As with before, the answer will be under the cut!
When I was thinking about my human design for her, several inspirations came to mind:
Genghis Khan - Founder of the Mongolian Empire, one of the largest empires ever
Khutulun - Mongolian princess and warrior who famously refused to marry anyone unless they could defeat her in a wrestling match (no one ever did). She is the main basis and inspiration for my human Herrah design
Zheng Shi/Zheng Yi Sao - The most succesful pirate ever; a woman who took over her husband's pirate fleet after his death and became so powerful that the combined forces of the Chinese, Portuguese and British navies were unable to stop her
One of the lore tablets in the game states that her partner, a noble, passed away leaving her, a commoner behind. I like to think that she worked to take her husband's place as leader; perhaps even having to participate in some tough politics and fights to get there.
As such, I have it in my mind that she came to power by more of less declaring "I'll surrender the throne to anyone who can beat me in a fight" and basically won against every challenger to her throne by either beating them to a pulp or politically outmanouvering them.
Tumblr media
Like most people, I think of her as a rather headstrong person and smart. After all, she's the leader of Deepnest and appears to have a following that's is almost, if not the same, level of devotion from Deepnest's citizens as the Pale King (PK) has with Hallownest's citizens. The difference is that, she's not a god! And I think that says volumes about what kind of leader she must have been! From what I gathered in game, the Spider Tribe located in the Distant Village and the Weavers seemed to be two distinct groups yet, they have a common devotion to Herrah. I think it's not unreasonable to imagine that maybe part of her coming to power was in uniting the various tribes in the territory to form/expand Deepnest. Uniting them in rejection of PK as the leader probably made it easier but she seems to have gone the extra step in ensuring that they remained loyal to her, thus amassing such a large following. In turn, I think she also respected and cared for her citizens as evidenced by her becoming a Dreamer for their sakes.
Like her desgin inspirations, I think she would have been a good military strategist and her devout following would have made any campaigns and battles rather smooth for her. That being said she's not a brute (as I sometimes sadly see her being depicted as). Being a leader of a large (and it seems dangerous!) territory would likely mean she picks her battles and would know when to show off her power.
Tumblr media
As awesome as she must be, I imagine being a leader must be so tiring. If she's not busy leading the people, I imagine she'd be caught up in things like thwarting potential coups and dissenters trying to oust her. On top of that, she is a mother! So it's not like she can completely rest when she's not being Herrah the Queen, Herrah the Beast or any other titles and responsibilities that have been bestowed upon her and I imagine it only got more exhasting when dealing with Hallownest and it's court. As a result, I like to think that she'd have a tendency to fall asleep on her feet or zone out from not having enough rest. I also like to think of her as a somewhat introverted individual so I think it's fun that she maybe doesn't always realise or care how she comes off outwardly to the people around her.
As an aside, I have it in my head that her friendship with Monomon and Lurien stems from the fact that she holds no responsibilities or titles when she is with them. They do not think of her as "The Beast", "Queen of Deepnest", "Mum Friend" or whatever. To them, she is just Herrah.
Tumblr media
This is purely me being silly with headcanons, but since she is a spider, I like to play with the headcanon that she'd have an instinctive talent for the natural sciences (physics, biology and chemistry - because spiders can have venom), engineering (building intricate webs) and mechanical mathematics (goes with engineering). The architecture in Deepnest is rather distinct to Hallownest and the Weavers appear to be capable of some impressive engineering feats (if the den and what looks to be the giant loom in there is anything to go by). Maybe she has little side projects for herself to get her mind off things or conduct research for her kingdom!
Tumblr media
Anyways.. yeah! That's the main thoughts in my head when it comes to Herrah!
Thank you for your interest! I am always so thrilled when I get asks like this!
Hope you have a lovely day!

I do really really really love this comic
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The end of stagnation, a new start, a time for learning...
[comment and text under the cut]
Firstly, a shameless plug in case you want to feel generous and enjoyed the comic~
My ko-fi page!
My card if you want to find me elsewhere and other info~
OKAY! Quick pointers~
-I made this for fun and practice, I won't be making more pages like this in the future but I might draw more regarding the story itself. However, I can't promise anything so take that with a grain of salt.
-This takes place after godhome endings, which one specifically I'm not sure and it kind of doesn't matter at the moment.
-I did my best with Hornet's dialogue, I won't be able to ever get her lines as accurate to her as in the game but I am going by my own feeling towards what she's experiencing right now and what's going through her head. Thank you @flame-shadow for directing me how to fix it~ :D
-painting water is hard... I stopped when I felt like I had no energy to continue and will to spend more time on it but I learned a lot during the making process (mostly errors I tend to make), since I don't do a lot of proper comic pages like this, even if I like making comics haha.
Anyway, will add description to the images as soon as tumblr allows me to (probably after I post it and then click edit)... EDIT: They're added but boy am I not good at this, I hope it still helps!
PS: Please do not tag this as ship or anything akin to that, I will block you! >:(

Hornet, inner thoughts:
Neither bug nor god, vessels are fairly unique in design.
Their extraordinary ability to mend themselves with a surge of SOUL erases even the heaviest of blows done to their void build.
Although, I know…
It cannot heal all the wounds…
Page 2
Hornet: Cease that behavior immediately.
Hornet: Do not consider me a fool, knight. Have you forgotten I was here for it all? Do you expect me to sweeten the bitter bygones now that it’s all over?
Hornet: To act like our suffering and more—are already a part of forgotten history or tales of the dead king and his people?
Page 3
Hornet: (sigh)
Hornet: The anger is my own. The past cannot be undone, therefore… The time for healing is now.
Hornet: The difficulty begins here. For both of us. We earned an opportunity and we must advance. … for them. But the hardest step for you, The Hollow Knight…
Hornet: … is to allow yourself to be.
Page 4
Hornet: Allow to think. To feel, to express. Allow yourself to act on your own accord. In spite of it all, enduring such a burden as you did, you are finally allowed to LIVE!
Hornet: … I see much work is needed…
Hornet: It’s best we start soon, then.

This is one of my favorite interpretation about Lurie. the Watcher.
I'd love to hear your theories about Lurien's personality and his relationship with the king ^^
Hello hello! Thank you for the ask and so sorry for the late reply (have had a chaotic few weeks)! Oh boy oh boy! I get to talk about Lurien and my headcanons! 🤩
Quick warning that one of the pics I drew below might be off putting to some since it has some eyes in it. Please do ask to tag if necessary!
I'll put my ramble below the cut (It's long!)
Tumblr media
Aside from being the grumpy alcoholic I depict him as, I like to think he's one of those people (bugs? you get what I mean) that doesn't usually say much but commands a lot of respect whereever he is. When he does have something to say, he rarely sugarcoats it and will often be rather blunt about it, unless he decides more tact is necessary for the situation.
Since I partially based my gijinka/human design for him off Sherlock Holmes (mostly the Inverness cape he wears), I usually headcanon him as having the Sherlock-like obsevation skills and the unsociable personality that comes with it 😆On top of this, I headcanon his bug-self to be a dragonfly! One of the things that entrances me about them is that they're said to have really good vision. This video (tw: bugs) that i watched shows someone firing a pea past a dragonfly, looking at it in slow motion, the dragonfly is show to move it's head to look at the flying pea, decides "nah, this isn't worth my time" and then goes back to what it was doing. So, I like to think Lurien has a similar attitude during most interactions, though he is not oblivious to how he may come off to others, he simply doesn't care.
He isn't grumpy without reason though. I headcanon him being something akin to Head of Secret Service and a key advisor to the Pale King (PK) and his court so he is a very busy man!
Tumblr media
I think he genuinely cares about the kingdom and it's people, having clawed his way from the bottom rungs of society to his current position. He wants to make the world a better place but has found that even in his station/role as the Watcher, fierce politics and bureaucracy have prevented him from making many of the changes he originally aspired to make - one of the many reasons he drinks and smokes heavily. He does do what he can to help out though and I imagine him to be the kind of person who anonymously makes generous donations to the city's struggling orphanages and hospitals.
Another theory I have is that he's a very politically savvy person and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty get the job done, only resorting to more ruthless methods once all peaceful alternatives have been exhausted and it's clear to him there is absolutely no other option and/or an innocent life is in danger. He has a disdain for people who abuse their positions and power but can and will efficiently beat them at their own game if he is pushed to do so.
It's a different story if they decide to make it personal, however.
Tumblr media
On a more positive side of headcanons for his personality, I enjoy the idea that loyalty is one of his strongest traits. He is loyal to PK, Hallownest and whichever handful of individuals he'd count as his close friends. He's the kind of friend who will always stands by you, and move heaven and earth for you. But he would also tell you to your face if he thinks you're being an asshole and/or a shitty friend. He's a powerful ally and a formidable enemy.
That being said, although Monomon and Herrah are his best friends, he'd probably sooner throw himself off the top of his spire than straight up telling them that he cares about them (not that they don't already know).
Tumblr media
Regarding his relationship with PK: I'll preface this with a short lalala that I think of PK as a somewhat self-righteous ruler, having installed himself as the king of Hallownest and having this cult of personality thing around himself (like, there were idols of him, his symbol is everywhere, everyone reveres him as the beloved king, that weird text on the fountain in Ancient Basin that basically said "give the King all your money", being described as King and Creator etc.). He's a powerful being, god and king and he knows it.
Earlier I mentioned that Lurien doesn't hold back when speaking his mind and PK is no exception to this. Contrary to the "uwu my king <3" bootlicker personality I see most people give him, I find it fun to think that although he acknowledges PK's god status (where his cut dialogue seems to imply that he has witnessed PK's true form) he simply… doesn't care.
The best way I can describe it is that he saw PK's true form and went "Ok great, you're a god. Nice to know. Now will you do your job and be a ruler? No, it's not the same - you're thinking like a god, you have to be a king. FOR FUCK'S SAKE MUST I DO EVERYTHING MYSELF?! Oh yeah? You want total obedience? Then go ahead and smite me. Use your light to instill total love for you. WHY NOT? Make an example of me and everyone will fall in line. DO IT." followed by torrents of swear words as he walks away and PK has blasted a nearby wall.
Tumblr media
In short, Lurien would be one of a few people who can (and will) say "No" to PK and still walk away with his head attached to his shoulders. PK has the benefit of godhood - if something bad happens, PK couuld simply smite it, abandon Hallownest and/or create a new kingdom and he wouldn't have to think about it again. Lurien isn't immortal or a god and thus, approaches and understands problems in a way that an immortal god might not.
He's not completely cynical and does place a lot of faith in PK and vice versa but their long time friendship/relationship/acquaintance is shadowed by the knowledge that if PK didn't have his god-like status and powers, it would be people like Lurien who would be in power.
I personally do not romantically ship PK and Lurien (but I don't mind if others do) since I think of their relationship as very close with lots of trust but has major issues such as major power imbalance, clashing values and attiudes to list a few things.
I also headcanon Lurien as not being interested in romance (or the other thing) so any attempts to court him even after he's tried to explain and let the interested party down peacefully would simply result in
Tumblr media
Ahaha wow that was a lot (my English Literature teacher wishes I could write this much about anything).
If you read all that, thank you! I have been wanted to talk about stuff like this for a while but have always been to awkward. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do so!
I hope you have a lovely day! 🥃
