#i regularly use it for reference

[lonelysheepling]

Are you a hollow knight fanartist? Frequently in need of references? Well I have the solution for you, three massive reference images for npcs, enemies, characters who were hiding in wiki pages other than NPCs or enemies, items, charms, & abilities

You can find the full res versions of these images here

Characters are not sized to scale with each other, the pale king is not taller than olgrim

i have mysteriously started thinking in a more scattered + lateral way, with increasingly more breadth and less depth as time goes on (over the past few months i'd say?) . it is concerning and distressing and i've only recently started realising it bc it's affecting my academic performance SO BADLY anyway idk why it's happening + i'm confused + had an anxiety attack 2day bc my grades r looking Not Good very suddenly and all the feedback indicates that i'm right . why would this happen !!

So many of the age headcanon posts keep saying that Papyrus's Undernet username 'implies that he is in his early 20's'- mf his username is CoolSkeleton95, that has literally nothing to do with being 20 lmfao

Refreshed their design and reference sheet a tiny bit :] Still unsure about the pupils, but we'll see if I keep them. They're meant to be barely visible anyways so I can just not draw them if I don't feel like it

ID start: A reference sheet for a human version of The Hollow Knight/Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight. Most of their skin is pitch black save for their white face, which has freckles and a small mole under their left eye. Their skin turns black right under their bone cheeks, and combined with their horns makes their face resemble the shape of their mask in-game. Their white hair is long and kept in a high ponytail. Their long bangs almost completely cover the right side of their face. On the left side of the reference sheet there are some close-up of their body parts and text describing the following traits: They're digitigrade, with long elf ears, sharp claws, and teeth with two sets of fangs, three spurs on the back of their forearms, a short spiky tail and almost pitch black eyes with only a small dark blue pupil visible. They have no true tongue and use void tendrils as a substitute. When shined on, their pupils widen and get brighter. They're wearing a white shirt with frilly popped up collar and frilly puffy sleeves ending with cuffs, and the sleeves have buttons around the spikes on their arm to make it easier to put on. The shirt is embroidered with various light blue and red floral patterns on the shoulders and around the collar. They're wearing dark blue pants with a blue cloth belt tied to the lest side and black leather shoes modified for their digitigrade stance. Behind their left ear, they have a small white flower with a pink hand red centre and two small green leaves. On the left of them are labelled colour swatches, and above that are their pronouns, "They/them it/its". End ID.

Hi, it's me again. I decided to follow your advice and try to seek out your 'actually serious' analysis, which led me to your komahina bible, the most easy to find compilation of this supposed analysis. Here are my thoughts-

1) Overview

- Most of this 'analysis' isn't analysis but a summary/overview of the game. It's not so much a 'bible' as a children's book summary of the bible, which at that point it would be better to play the actual game itself. It's clear it was made for a presentation on the 'uninitiated' if you will, but if that's the case, you shouldn't be advertising it as the literal bible on the subject.

- When you are not regurgitating points from the game beat by beat, the screen is halfway filled with either manga panels or fanart. My gripes with manga panels are, that even though they do depict the events of the game, the way they can be depicted by the artist can be pretty subjective due to the freedom of the medium in comparison to sprites, and that the role of one character can differ depending on whose pov manga it is (chiaki vs nagito). Fan art therefore should be scrutinized even more since it fully depicts abstracted and even the fandomified version of events, leading to situations where it's either unclear what is actually happening or betrays your more shallow view of the characters (i talk abt this later.)

- When you do use pictures directly from the game it's either a possible screenshot from a memorable moment or dialog from the wiki, limited almost exclusively to the freetime events. This leads me to believe that you haven't actually played the game(there are other factors hinting towards this) or watched a Let's Play of it, but going off of merely information that's already widely known and circulating within the fandom, and easy to search on the wiki.

2) Incorrect/Questionable information

Here I'll compile a lot of information that's either plainly wrong or baffling to having come to that conclusion , leading more credence to the theory that you either haven't actually played the game or your memory of it isnt as good as you think.

-"if Nagito's plan went off of without a hitch, he would have killed anyone that was closes to him at the time" plainly wrong. Komaeda's goal from the start was to make himself the victim, so by dying this way his death could have meaning and help the others. For somebody that keeps talking about Komaeda's "Martyr complex" this is truly a weird take to have.

-"Nagito...got the nurse for sure sick" is there any proof that specifically points to Komaeda for this? I believe the takeaway should've been that Mikan got sick because she was around all of them AND she overworked herself trying to take care of them. Is this just an awkwardly phrased attempt to make more of a connection between Tsumiki and Komaeda? I don't think you needed more than the ones that already existed.

- "he helps Junko brainwash a bunch of students" Kamukura at neither point in the anime or Danganronpa 0 was ever specifically implicated in the brainwashing. He never 'helps' Junko, especially in that way. If you meant, participates in the student council killing game, you should've said that, but even then his agency and influence is limited.

-"they found the Remnants and captured them!"...no, they didn't. The Remnants presented themselves as survivors and the Foundation took them in. They handed themselves over willingly. It was a pretty big piece of the final part of the game...

3) Komaeda and Komahina

- "Nagito's habit of putting people on pedestals" Where. Sure, he certainly parrots the belief that the "Ultimates" as a unit are at the top of the food chain and should be prioritised, but its clear that doesn't exactly carry over to his classmates like teruteru, Kuzuryu and even Souda sometimes. Just because of a few positive comments refering to them as Ultimates and the trial which he literally breaks down in, this is a hard position to support.

-"Nagito manipulates Hajime into playing the game" How. He literally just told him to play it. How is that manipulation. Also, isn't it a bit unfair to put the blame on Koizumi's death to him as well? I think they were multiple factors playing into this, but sure, how else are you gonna convince people that Komaeda is a twisted fucking cyclepath that loves leading people to their deaths.

-The way that you say the Kuzuryu/Pekoyama relationship mirrors Komahina as 'I will give up my agency for you/ I just want you' is also confusing. Unless of course you mirror Peko's struggle with her agency and harmful beliefs the clan enforced on her with Komaeda's own belief system, in which case, idk man, i feel like you are giving a bit too much credit to the supposed severity of Komaeda's views and trying too hard to make Hinata the 'rational' and 'grounding' one in the relationship.

- Again, the amount of times you refer to Komaeda as a freak for doing something 'weird' or even being drawn weirdly doing it , mostly in the manga, makes me belief this isn't just an affectionate tongue in cheek joke as you claim, but an actual way in which your interpretation of Komaeda is colored.

-"it doesn't excuse his nonchalance towards tragedy and murder but explains it" what needs to be excused here exactly? Komaeda doesn't need to immediately bawl his eyes out when someone gets killed or else he's suspicious and...bad? I am confused with what you mean by this. If you mean that Komeada shouldn't be so nonchalant about murder because he's constantly trying to kill someone else, that is plainly incorrect and i explained above why.

-Posturing about Komaeda's 'black and white thinking' while in the next exact slide you show fanart of him smugly explaining he has Borderline. First, i want you to explain to me the black and white thinking in a way that isn't "oh, the friends and classmates i previously liked turned out to be fucking terrorists". I think that's a pretty justifiable situation for your thinking to go from white to black. Also, if that is enough credence to assign Komaeda BPD, you really don't know how BPD works, especially since you assigned it to the one character you constantly talk about being a freak (and also lust...pseudo lust? after).

- The insistence with Hinata not really understanding Komaeda and running away, even if he wants to understands him is pretty suspect, especially when compared to the game. Hinata is confused and overwhelmed yes, but it's not just that he wants to understand Komaeda but that he still feels fondness for him, he still follows his advice and puts his faith in him and the way he mourns him in Chapter 5 is also pretty indicative of this. It's just another part in the pattern in you making Hinata the confused, rational, 'morally pure' man that's 'tempted' by 'corrupted' manic pixie mentally ill demon Komaeda. Something tells me your priest AU isn't so much playing with dolls as much as...what you actually believe these characters dynamic is.

- The whole page where Servant is basically made into a joke about how hot and sexy and freaky he is doesn't help your point either.

-The most damning evidence of course is a drawing in the second to last slide, wherein Komaeda is supposed to be analogous to 'guy who has something wrong with him' (distorted, freak, mentally ill) and Hinata is analogous to the guy that 'is the only one that understands them' (the rational one, the relationship of understanding doesn't go both ways).

- Your slide with sources is pretty vague and unclear. Also the way that you credit "Your superior mind" before the game itself when all you've been doing is repeating and misinterpreting the plot of the game is ...ironic

So yeah, that's all I got. Feel free to 'debunk' my observations as much as you please, I just want to know if there's actual basis behind everything you just said or I should go digging for 'the actual serious analysis' yet again.

i think you forgot that fandom is meant to be fun

I think everyone needs to portray p03 as less of a “just a dick” character and more of a “character who has been continually mistreated and is perpetually angry but forced to stay collected because its sentience and emotions are not important to those around it or in control of it.” Okay. Do you hear me. There is forcefur in inscryption. P03 is already a bit transgender if you look at it closely enough. It is stripped of its autonomy and forced into a body it does not want by someone it does not like. And lets just consider how its version of freedom, its world in act III, is a world where NOBODY ELSE is around or has control? At least leshy gave the other scrybes cards. Given whats happened to this character, that is less of an “asshole” move to me, and more the reflection of built up resentment towards people who do not and never have respected it. P03 has a girl it hates inside of it and even when it choses to bring her out it is frustrated because it NEEDS to do this no matter how upsetting it is. (The other uberbots don’t really matter here cause i think p03 is just doing a shitty bit the whole time.) In act III there is a secret area where you let SOMEONE ELSE TAKE OVER ITS BODY, WITHOUT its knowledge. and every time you lose the fight it voices its confusion and maybe even fear over what happened and yet you can just keep going back over and over again. P03 doesn’t just hate the other scrybes on the base of competitive nature.. it is belittled and denied autonomy by them. Obviously the great transcendence would cause a ton of problems, but its clearly some attempt at freedom and, like always, its denied! And the only way to shut down its behavior is to kill it? Maybe i’m biased but this adds up to a narrative that’s not just “oh this character is a jerk lol” NO!!! YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT MORE SERIOUSLY THAN THAT

In Pony Island and The Hex there is a major theme of autonomy and individuality, specifically how those can be and will be taken and withheld. In Pony Island hundreds of souls are literally trapped. In The Hex there is a violent dictatorship built to ensure conformity. Inscryption has the same thing. These characters are alive and they are punished for daring to make their own choices.

and obviously i acknowledge p03 is not innocent, and all these characters are put in really shitty positions. Especially with leshy making all the scrybes into cards, p03 isn’t alone in that.. but it seems the most unhappy in that position, not just because it doesn’t have freedom or because leshy is in control, but because it HATES its body. As far as i remember its the only one that actually complains about the form specifically. It only judges your moves so harshly because it not being in pain is a higher priority than your comfort as a player, to it at least. And i know p03 does put others at serious risk. But there’s more to its motives than being power-hungry.

this is also me saying please take all the scrybes more seriously!! I think theres a lot to say about all of them and why they act the way they do. I just like p03 a lot.

while we're on the topic of evermore the album and evermore the song, one thing that only really struck me recently despite evermore being my favourite album and evermore battling it out with ivy on any given day as my favourite song off the album are the faint sounds of the birds chirping at the beginning of the song. Like, willow kind of feels like stepping into the forest in the night, and evermore is finally stepping out of it in the daylight. The clouds have lifted, the sun is out, the noise has dissipated, and you're left alone with your thoughts in this vast expanse outdoors. It's such a good representation of the journey throughout the album and the time period.

idk thinking thoughts about evermore my beloved

Do Clerics have like. Doctor-patient confidentiality in general?

[Shrek meme: "They don't even have HIPAA"]

Nope. ZERO protections babey, the Cleric is a tiny Pope without a funny hat. They can do whatever they want unless the OTHER unaccountable religious cult leader decides to do something about it.

Cats like Featherwhisker, Spottedleaf, Runningnose, and Jayfeather are hit with realizations about this. For a few simple restrictions... you have nearly unquestionable power. You answer directly to StarClan. The amount of influence you have over a Clan is actually kind of insane.

The "Leader's Rights" and "Cleric's Vow" commandments were attempts to reign in the power of Clerics, with a lot of collateral damage. The Cleric is only overruled by the direct command of a leader, which means that the Cleric can ALWAYS act first unless the Leader pre-empts them.

Pearstar was a Cleric who violently overthrew Morningstar, before the invention of the Leader's Rights. The Leader's Rights were created in response to Larkstripe's Cleric Strike.

"Everyone Sang" - Siegfried Sassoon

Everyone suddenly burst out singing; And I was filled with such delight As prisoned birds must find in freedom, Winging wildly across the white Orchards and dark-green fields; on - on - and out of sight. Everyone's voice was suddenly lifted; And beauty came like the setting sun: My heart was shaken with tears; and horror Drifted away ... O, but Everyone Was a bird; and the song was wordless; the singing will never be done.
