#hk nymm

[basilbellona]

Have another headcanon— this one is much more speculative. What if Nymm and Trobbio perforned together before Nymm became Brumm?

Nymm is an incrdibly mysterious character. Formerly known as Brumm, his memories were masked whenhe joined the Grimm Troupe then stripped away along with his memories as Brumm once he leaves it. He expresses his confusion when you talk to him or dreamnail him, but although his lack of knowledge nags at him, he surveys his situation and takes initiative. He plays his accordion.

It seems to be such an instinctual thing. That he remembers how to play it and chooses to do so for this gloomy village feels very telling. Add his friendly personality to the mix and we have the best example of a traditional bard in the game. But, what was his past like? How long ago did he join the Troupe? Are people he once knew still alive?

This is highly speculative, but bear with me. With Silksong and its cast of characters on the way, a certain showman came to mind while I was thinking about this. A bug with a similar flare for the arts. A bug with a similar red shawl.

Do their similarities mean this for sure? No. Is it fun? Yes. For me, absolutely. It's interesting to imagine their dynamic— Trobbio being the more outspoken, dramatic, fashionista performer and Nymm as the more calm, introverted, peacemaking member of the band. Maybe they were friends? Maybe their differences drove them apart? Maybe Trobbio became antagonistic at some point and led to Nymm leaving for a better, black and red troupe? The POSSIBILITIES.

Round 3: HKNPC Fight

Propaganda welcome!

[shrowdly]

i bring you. more. and the most important hollow knight character under cut

[flame-shadow]

the most agonizing part of watching/listening to late-game HK playthroughs is when the player deliberates what to do while sitting on a bench. how are they not going mad by salubra's "hooo hoo huhoooo" the entire time they're trying to think???

this applies to a lesser but more acute degree when they sit at the dirtmouth bench because zote and/or nymm is making incessant noise too. augh

I'm bored, so here's a silly question about my HK fanfic

[riyelaalelita]

Back on tumble after months of break, i didn't even notice it's been since october since i posted anything here 😅

This is a drawing i made for Hollow Knight 5th anniversary and i already posted on twitter (@/riyelaalelita), it took me one week to finish and i kinda rushed the background because i destroyed my arm doing this, but i'm super proud of managing to finish it 💙

I know half of the characters here should be dead/nowhere to be found, but i really like the idea of a lively Dirthmouth and want them all happy

Now some close-ups!

Elderbug and Nymm, i like the idea of them becoming friends ☺️ and Cloth who decided to stay in town for now, and maybe not leave at all

Iselda and Cornifer 💙 they're a very cute couple and respectful of each other and wholesome, and i love how they think of the other when you dreamnail them. I should really draw them more

Hornet watching from the sidelines, keeping an eye on her sinlings and the guard high in case some problem presents itself...because seriously, after who knows how much time spent surviving alone in a ruined kingdom, does she still know how to relax and have fun?

Zote, dramatically telling all the feats he (thinks he) has acomplished, while Bretta takes notes for the novel she's going to write. Thanks to @/arty-cakes posts, i love the idea of them becoming very close friends after she gets over her crush for him

Last one, a chaotic bench! Thanks to a fanfic, i now headcanon that Broken Vessel is the Esmy Sly mentions when he's saved in Crossroads, so they trained with him and the Nailmasters; they're also a troublemaker and Sly tries to keep them in check, and Ghost follows them around creating problems

Greenpath Vessel is shy and hides behind their tall sibling who is recovering from being sealed

Myla is fine after Radiance is defeated and took a break from mining

Quirrel is fine too, he just decided to leave his nail at Blue Lake and start a new life

Tiso just passes behind them and looks perplexed at the commotion

And this is all!

I'm still doing the palette drawings, not to worry!! But I just had a tabletop game with friends yesterday and am very tired so here's a Nymm while I work on finishing the rest of the requests 😓

[brummwhereheshouldntbe]

brumm probably shouldnt be fighting nymm for his spot

Theyre the same mans

[ID: A digital drawing of Nymm and Quirrel back to back. Nymm is looking down as he holds the charm Carefree Melody on his hands, while Quirrel looks up to Monomon’s mask that’s tied around his face like a hat, holding it with one hand as it blocks the light from his eyes. The background in Nymm’s side is a dark red, with strings of a lighter red coming from the charm and twisting like fire. In Quirrel’s side, however, the background is a pale yellow, with dark greens pouring down the mask and twisting like tentacles. //End ID]

Memories Of Dreamers and Nightmares

do any of you think about the parallels of nymm and quirrel...... hm? my dear amnesiac buddies who want to be friends w/ you? that carry a token from their past life? at least until they give it to the little knight or put it back to whom it belonged? anyway i think nymm and quirrel should be friends
