It's a miracle Dewi hasn't stepped on any bugs at this point.

Bug Fact: Bloodworms have jaws and venom glands at the end of their long throat, which they turn inside out to catch prey. Pictures Below

Hollow Knight Bugs 7

HOGLOW KNIGHT SHIT OR WHATEVER.

this will be updated once silksong comes out (good fucking lord.)

I've been watching mossbag and he had that one theory about masks giving bugs mind. Also i would like to add that there's a SHIT TON of little guys all around hallownest. Squits, tiktiks, vengeflies, etc. Now as far as we know they were never really a part of the society of hollow knight. So they were either animals essentially, or most of them didn't have the masks to be aware like mossbag says.

There's porbably also the effect of the pale king's leftover light causing at least a bit of sentience remaining for people such as Tiso, mila, iselda and sly who as far as we know don't have masks.

so more advanced or at least evolved bugs and beasts are sentient.

We also might be able to think back to the ancients. From what we see, a lot of them have face shapes similar to the fools, but they don't look like removable masks. It's possible that the ancient beasts were born with this mind, and the masks just mimic the pattern and idea of sentience.

this also might give us an answer to the nailsmith. He's obviously dead and really fucking old. and possibly stupid considering he picked that tiny-ass cave for a living. Conclusion? Didn't have a mask.

Now in one of mossbag's videos he mentions Boon from the prequel and how he talks much less...educated than quierrel. But tuk can, and is in hallownest, so i think like this.

Advanced beings (npcs) can exist in hallownest and have mind, or with a mask. being without either will diminish their thought process, but it's still present.

Lesser beings (smaller enemies) can exist in hallownest and (maybe?) have mind, but being without a mask will delete their thought process essentially.

THis can also contribute to how easily the radiance would be able to infect them.

If the bed bugs as i call them (mila, husks, aristocrats) were once lesser beings then gained the kings light/mask they were able to think more.

Maybe mask maker couldn't make a mask big enough for the tiktiks.

Some masks may not be obvious too. the Knight's masks, aka health, are possibly handheld objects. they wouldn't fit its face. so maybe some of the lesser bugs capable of HOLDING OBJECTS (aka bed bugs) would be able to obtain a mask.

Now what about the guys in the howling cliffs? they have the mask look but lost their mind.

answer: i don't fucking know. Probably the hex the king placed, but maybe those aren't masks and are just what they look like. It's possible, i guess. Mask maker did say it's difficult to tell who's in a mak or not.

Also, other substances may have worked similar to the pale king's light.

Think:

Unn's essence keeping the mosskin sentient but got canceled out by the radiance (shes called that for a reason.) thus causing unn to be tired from trying to push back.

The hiveblood keeping the bees functional during the reign of the pale king (they were technically outside the kingdom) but, once again, not being strong enough to stop the infection.

jiji, the snail shamans and the seer all avoided infection and this is porbably due to their own spiritual resolve.

OTHER MASKS:

-Godseeker masks: causes a conection between minds. this is obviously stronger than the mushroom hivemind, probably because it's a PHYSICAL MASK. the godseekers didn't have any gods, or they died, so the mask was a way to remain safe from losing their one collective mind (also mask caused that) as well as connect them to any nearby god they could attune (latch) onto.

-Grimm troupe masks: probably keeps the wears under the control of the nightmare's heart. This could also explain why divine seems a bit more in control of herself than brumm. She only wears half a mask. Brumm wears a full one.

-Steel soul masks: no idea what these do but it's probably important. Jiji is most likely affected in a positive(?) way as far as we know, considering she isn't from hallownest and doesn't have a traditonal mask. Since she seems to carry info from...wherever she's from...the mask probably helped her keep it stuck in there.

tl;dr

mossbag is great, masks keep mind, and so does a god's light, the more evolved the creature is the more mind they can keep if it's lost.

Crab off! --gives your Loop a mouth-- because in this family not eating Bonnie's food is a crime.

So, remember this comic I did the other day? At first it was just gonna be a random Odile looping au comic, but then I said "what if the family DOES interact with Loop in the fic I'm writing?" And this happened.

A little explanation (cause I don't know when will I finish this fic so I may as well tell the story in comics or something):

We apply the 'teams' here (beauty alliance and opposite sides of the age spectrum alliance). That means (since act 4) Mirabelle knows Isabeau is looping, Isabeau knows Mirabelle is looping; Odile knows Bonnie is looping and Bonnie knows Odile is looping; but no one knows EVERYONE is looping (I will assume this makes sense).

Why hasn't Loop say anything about this to the other family members? Because.

Why hadn't they told Siffrin that the rest of the party is looping? Because Siffrin knows already but he's in negation, to put it simple (and because something something they know Siffrin would mcblinding lose it and they don't want that)

I'm also gonna add the little fact that Loop's mask only works with Siffrin, and it slips a bit TOO often with the rest of the family.

Are you seeing the possible drama??? Do you see my vision???

Anyways, full and alt text under cut, I'm going to sleep or finish that hollow knight skin, whatever comes first BYE

Alt text:

First page:

- First panel shows Bonnie bringing Loop a plate of dumplings. Loops is sitting at the favor tree (they're wearing Odile's coat from the previous comic)

Bonnie: "Star head!"

Loop: "don't call me that kid."

Bonnie: "I bring you. Dumplings."

- Second panel shows Loop with a sad expression holding one of the dumplings

Loop: "Aww Bon-bon...

thank you but... I don't think I can eat anything at all" (whispering: "I don't have a mouth")

A text pointing at Loop says "trying not to burst into tears"

- Thirth panel shows Bonnie holding the plate of dumplings

Bonnie: "Yes you can!"

Loop: "wha-? No I'm pretty sure I-"

Bonnie: (interrupts) "You just have to ask for it!"

"To the universe or something"

"Is what the king said!"

- Forth panel:

Bonnie: "If Frin can ask for a country you can ask to eat!"

- Fifth panel:

Loop: -sigh- "Alright"

"I'll try"

- Sixth panel shows Loop somehow having a mouth under the light of their face and eating the dumpling.

- Seventh panel is Loop's surprised reaction.

Second page:

-First panel is both Loop and Bonnie surprised

Loop (thinking): "you can eat."

-Second panel:

Bonnie: "So? How is it?"

Loop (thinking): "you can eat!!! You can taste!!!"

A text pointing at Loop says "trying REALLY hard not to cry"

Thirth panel:

Bonnie: "uh... Loop?"

Loop: "thank you snack leader for this delicious meal"

A text pointing at Loop says "failure"

-Forth panel is Loop and Bonnie sitting at the favor three. Loop is cleaning their tears and Bonnie is sitting next to them about to fall asleep.
