[blastlight]

hollow knight is possibly one of the best executions of the "you are actually part of the royal family!!" trope ever

mostly because you can't recognize the trope under all of the horror of the situation :D

The Horned King feels constantly chilled and it’s why he always dresses so warmly in comfortable robes and furs. He’s also basically an old man and while he’s supernaturally strong, he still experiences a lot of the aches that would accompany old age. He can’t die from old age but he still ages so eventually he’s just going to be a skeleton only capable of moving because of magic

He likes having his partner just lie down next to him while he sleeps because it helps him stay warm. He also just sleeps a lot. It’s mostly a depressive thing but he is also just kind of tired a lot.

He feels kinship with the undead and prefers the company of dead things to the living.

【2020首個毫不驚訝系列】 . 2019年尾，我作了一個十分暖心的動作。 今年，只寫一張聖誕咭。 就是送給聖誕老人。 . 寫咭給他們不是為了求甚麼禮物。 而是希望將祝福送給他們。 . 由於我都心存希望他們會回信給我， 因此在咭上我附上回郵地址乙個。 . 誰知，郵差叔叔看漏了「回郵」 而直！接！把！聖！誕！咭！寄！回！給！我！ . 我這樁美事，完全沒有接���到任何一位聖誕老人呢！ 最後只成為我自high的記錄了～哈哈! . 完 . #artish #travisying #christmas #handlettering #illustration #christmascard #xmas #hkpost #hkig #hkiger #postcard https://www.instagram.com/p/B7IggyjgGMP/?igshid=16alxxdz4y0wn

Have you brought me another nail to be honed? Leave it on the ground and return later, if you're still breathing.

Hmm?

Oh. I thought you were someone else.

Im sorry but i dont understand... why would mothwing vessel need to sharpen multiple nails?

Theres not many reasons why anyone would need mutliple nails tho. Except maybe PK or some sort of war general but I dont think nailsmith would tell them to "return later, if youre still breathing"

Im looking right now on the wiki and honestly the only NPCs that make sense are Fools. Think about it. The colosseum makes heavy use of many types of nails and blades, so they need to be sharpened often. Moreover, Fools often die. The vertical section in Kingdom's Edge showed that pretty well. And since theyre just simple bugs, with only massacre, the nailsmith doesnt have a reason to use particularly soft language

In that case theres two options. Either the nailsmith mistook the Knight for Little Fool, or in the past there used to be a vessel or vessel-like creature that worked for the colosseum

And while you could make an argument that mothwing could be that vessel, given the fact that their corpse does not suggest this at all and that greenpath is quite the distance away from either colo or nailsmith, I think id be safe to assume theyre not them

hi hello has anyone else ever considered the possibility the nailsmith is talking to greenpath vessel before he notices ghost. i'm going to fucking explode

ik i’m late to watching this but wowowow

Literally anything about the great knights but especially ze’mer <3

Ze’mer my friend Ze’mer...

favorite thing about them

Oh My Gosh. I'm hard pressed to pick between the little detail that references her storytelling from Ogrim's thoughts and the fact that she hails from a distant land. I love both for very different reasons...I think her storytelling. It's such a beautiful aspect of her character, especially when much of Hollow Knight revolves around the different perspectives of a single story, and how the same story can have so many different narratives. Actually, although I love that she comes from beyond Hallownest for the simple fact that it directly contradicts the narrative that the citizens of Hallownest believe (and the Pale King spreads), I think that also gives a whole different dimension to her role as a storyteller. If anything, I think she has so much genre awareness and Knows that she's in a story. It's neat!

least favorite thing about them

Ugh, I'll give another cop-out answer that's the same as the one for Grimm; I really wish we got to see more of her. My real answer is that I dislike her for being one of the five great knights, but I also can't truly say that because, again, that crucial decision to make her a knight transforms her entire character. So I can't even really say I dislike that, even if on principle I dislike Hallownest on a personal level (and adore it narratively). Slight tangent, but this game is so good because you aren't meant to root for the kingdom.

favorite line

"Is it that, Le’mer? Such grief, can end? Che’ can end? Ullll, eh nai dear love. Che’ too can end." Lines that hit. If grief is nothing but love, not without direction, but whose destination is now absent—that is, love that has nowhere to go and is traveling endlessly, a thread pulling ever more taut, then she lived until her love could rest. She defines herself by it.

brOTP

Hegemol. I was going to answer Dryya, but I think, while Dryya and Ze’mer are both lesbians who would have an Undersanding of each other, Ze’mer is also someone who Understands the art of storytelling, and I think Hegemol does too. I think that Dryya's closeness to the White Lady is also something that creates distance between them. So, Hegemol.

OTP

Obvious answer. I was going to put this as my favorite thing because I Love Lesbians, but realized I could talk even more if I placed it here. The way that they both are able to find peace after the flower is delivered...they were waiting for each other.....yeah.......yeah.....................

nOTP

Anyone who isn't the Traitor's Child.

random headcanon

I think the majority of her stories are told through song, and she can captivate any audience with her voice.

unpopular opinion

Don't really think I have one! Taking this space to add another headcanon that isn't really much of one but I think she enjoys very witty banter and wordplay. Also, because I can, she's autistic ♡ hitting every character ever with my Autism Beam.

song i associate with them

Vague Hope (Cold Rain) from NieR: Automata

favorite picture of them

This art. Something about the vibes. This is already so obvious to you but #luthien
