#pet tiktik...

[eliduck]

show you goofy stuff with Lurien's butler. Also do you have headcanons about themm

I shall draw this goofy stuff!! (below contains hc rambles and drawings of Lurien's butler)

bald. goddamn bald.

Oh yeah, and I agree with you about the Butler being a great cook! It's pretty essential for a butler to know household chores and all that, after all!

I honestly just see the butler as some simple regular dude that just lives a normal life, nothing pretty too extra and all of that. One thing they're pretty known for is surely being a coward, but other than that, they're very devoted. (just like how Lurien be devoted to the Pale king) (whoa like Watcher like butler wowowoowow)

Though I like to think that before the butler had become the butler, they used to be very greedy like any other husk roaming around City of Tears. Until a sudden change of mind, maybe influence had gotten them to be humble and care for others rather than be selfish and have so much liking for Geo's

like they would apply as a butler for Lurien, but they mostly just care about the money since Lurien sure had such a ton of bags for sure. But as time grew, they started to actually care, worry even for their master's health, and so on, despite them being total coward at times.

and it reached the point where the butler simply cared less about Geo's anymore. The butler's devotion to The Watcher grew so strong that even when the plague had taken over, they never left but remained close to him. never leaving, even when the infection had eventually taken the butler's mind.

Thse my cat. Dusty

Tiktik.

The Hollow Knight with a tiktik as a pet?

Heh I imagine Hornet would keep trying to ‘hunt it’!

Eat, Prey, Love

[illmoraineakoi]

The real travesty of Hollow Knight is that you cannot pet the Tiktiks.

If enemy why friend-shapped???

[vulturereyy]

The council has decided Thimble needs a pet Tiktik. Meet Thread :)

Thread was left behind by a noblewoman who came to see the troupe perform, accidentally forgotten under her seat in her purse. Thimble found her while sweeping up and of course he sent a letter after the woman to track her down. But all he got in response was just a note that she could go to whomever, the lady was planning on getting a """better""" designer tiktik anyway, that one was sub-par in breeding standards. And Thimble feels the first murderous rage of his life. BUT he takes her in himself and names her Thread, and Thread becomes his dearly beloved and well cared for pet. She's a little on the portly side, but that's alright. Thimble loves her more than anything in this world.

Also thread's going to live forever (poor @grollow's Grimm, always weak to the big wet sad eyes)

What was PK’s first reaction to:

1. A telephone ringing

2. WL booping him

3. Sweaters

4. Glasses

5. TikTok’s

1.) dragon screeching 2.) tail wagging 3.) comfy cozy, dragon purring (probably) 4.) he just kept staring at WL and after awhile WL was like "are you ok???" and he just sat there like "you're beautiful" 5.) tiktiks? they're pets, tiktoks? "lmao funny social media"

[goodmode]

random hc ask: some ppl think of some of the enemies like pets. ex., hollow getting a pet tiktik (which i happen 2 love). got any sort of bug pet hk headcanon?

my thoughts go to god tamer first! she's like the only example of anyone canonically having a pet that i can think of so i'd springboard off there and say Alright Let's Talk Sapience First

[feel free to skip to the readmore if you already have a solid idea of what's sapient and what's not. i doubt i'm saying anything other people haven't already picked up on]

we know the dream nail picks up thoughts of things like tiktiks and they display as words even if they're not obviously an upright walking talking bug, so i'm voting anything with god tamer's beast's dream nail dialogue set:

is probably petworthy. as in, not Some Guy. animal tier intelligence i guess.

according to the wiki this exact dialogue set applies to:

Tiktiks, Vengeflies, Crawlids, Gruzzers, Goam, all Aspids, Mosscreeps, Mossflies, Moss Chargers, Squits, Obbles, Durandoo/Duranda, Aluba, Ambloom, Fungling, Fungoon, Pilflips, Belflies, certain Flukes, Crystal Crawlers/Hunters, Glimbacks, Dirtcarvers, Dirtcarver Hatchlings, Garpedes, Corpse Creepers, Deeplings, Deephunters, Lesser Mawleks, Mawlurks, Infected Balloons, Booflies, Primal Aspids, [...]

i can't continue this list it's going to take me all day. you get the gist. there are a Lot of enemies that share the "probably not a sapient person" dreamnail pool. will be leaning heavily on that for What Can Safely Be Written As A Pet Without It Getting Too Weird

we probably can't include Flukes even though they also share the dialogue pool, because they're implied to grow into Flukemon which have separate dialogue and an obviously-sapient NPC (Fluke Hermit) so disregard those. there are also likely other exceptions i haven't covered so please use your head and apply a liberal pinch of salt.

we CAN probably include Vengefly King, Gruz Mother, and Brooding Mawlek since while their DN dialogue is different to their children it still doesn't seem to imply any higher-functioning thought than basic instinct, just a Big Parent Of The Same Thing

ok so individual character/pet ideas behind the cut bc i think this is a rly funny and charming thing to look at

zote. sorry he's first he's the funniest

zote is not one of those guys who would get a Big Dog thinking it makes him look cool and intimidating. he is the guy who puts a collar on a fucking coyote and thinks it makes him look cool and intimidating until it bites him in the dick.

it doesn't happen often, but sometimes he drags something back to Dirtmouth that is foaming at the jaws and insists it's his new faithful pet/steed that obeys his every command and will tear his enemies to pieces. it starts with a vengefly that he boasts about while it is actively chewing on his arm. it escalates from there.

the one thing preventing these beasts from tearing him to pieces is hornet coming in to truss up/confiscate the damn things before they can do any damage to the town

myla.

myla is familiar with glimbacks! she's a miner by trade even if she didn't come from hallownest originally, and i think these things are used as pit ponies in a lot of places. they're big sturdy beasts of burden that can be made to drag carts and carry heavy tools and they're described as "docile and slow" - no sudden movements and take well to handling.

she's never owned one but a living post-infection myla could adopt one of the surviving glimbacks from crystal peak and just kind of keep it like one keeps a rescue horse. horsegirl novel starring myla

cornifer & iselda.

they're married and do not currently have any kids for whatever reason - totally valid, this says nothing about them. however i do think it would be cute they get a dog instead and that's their placeholder baby. they get a mossfly and iselda spoils it with treats and it keeps her company while cornifer is gone. cornifer sometimes takes it for LONG WALKS (doesn't come back for 3 days).

sometimes they have that awkward moment where they're walking it in dirtmouth and it pees on something and they just have to smile and wave like "what can you do haha" while elderbug looks in in supreme disapproval because he has never owned a pet in his life and can't they just stop it from peeing there :/

millibelle.

owner of a yappy dog type crawlid, full-on grandma style. it has a solid shell like she does isn't that cute! she babytalks it and calls it sugarplum or whatever and insists it could never do a thing wrong in its life. it will savage your hand if anyone else tries to pet it.

emilitia.

she does not give a shit about anything that she thinks she'll outlast. Which Is Everything. however, millibelle has a crawlid, and boasts about it, and emilitia can't have that. she gets a tiktik in retaliation and it is exactly like a handbag chihuahua. hornet may or may not have to confiscate this one for the tiktik's sake

hornet.

everything still alive in the kingdom is under her protection, even if it bites. she is ambivalent to their responses to her. (they like her. when she comes back from pharloom playing silk music they like her even more)

lemm.

anti-pet person. i'm so fucking sorry. you bring a single thing into his shop that could pee or chew or scratch or leave tracks and he is going to kick up such a fuss. that said: he would have liked to feed maskflies in the park like your typical old man feeds pigeons

[nonuggetshere]

This is my FOURTH attempt at sending this ask, tumblr is sure having a normal one

*Gives Ina nightmares*

That must be a fear they have, right? Going back into a time where the Radiance is still very alive and the infection is spreading rapidly, they must’ve been afraid of being infected and no one being able to stop them. After all, they’ve been infected before. Who’s to say it can’t happen again?

They’re like the strongest knight, a fledgeling god, etc etc, the only ones that could stop them are the Queen and king themselves

HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS

ABSOLUTELY CANON NOW, THANK YOU

And look at their little tiktik pet!!!!

[featherlouise]

Now I'm just imagining PK handing Hollow a dead, raw tiktik, with just two hands outstretched. Looking very polite. Like a cat.

It's funny if they can't/don't need to even eat

They start burying the catches their dad brings them because they feel too bad to tell him they don't need to eat, and their siblings are losing their minds

"Hollow why are you digging a mass animal grave" "Don't worry about it"

AKANSKDNDX nah bc they would lmfao

One time PK doesn't actually fully kill it before handing it to Hollow so they do their darnedest to save it and long story short they now have a pet tiktik

[transmogrified-in-the-void]

emoji headcanon 🐀

lmao it didnt show up until now 😭😭😭

Tiktiks and Crawlids are considered the mice and rats of Hallownest respectively. They are sometimes kept as pets, sometimes eaten, and sometimes considered pests. It's why they're so plentiful in the places that would allow mice and rats to thrive (places either uninhabited or the New York Subway Station of Hallownest)

[bugcrimesbracket]

Live from the heart of Hallownest, this is Announcerbug reporting for Radio HNST!

This past week has been busy on the right half of the bracket, so it's time to have a Weekend Recap!

Troupe Master Grimm takes yet another encore, sending Menderbug home to go back to fixing his favorite sign near the entrance to the Forgotten Crossroads.

Fan support for the Traitors' Child is no mere delicate flower, as she sends the shield-slinging Markoth out of the arena!

The beetle brother battle is at last decided, with Paintmaster Sheo securing his place in the next round over Nailmaster Mato!

The wisdom of the comfy bench wins out over the wisdom of the Teacher's Archive, as Elderbug edges out the last of the Dreamers.

Pride Month bestows one more gift upon Hallownest, as the Tiktik, champion of trans rights, defeats the Little Weaver.

And a triple victory for the children of the Wyrm: the Siblings gain the upper... tendril? over the Moss Knight, Broken Vessel pets Mossy so hard its four component bugs are sent scurrying back to the Greenpath, and the realm's beloved daughter Hornet defeats the Wyrm himself!

This coming week's matches will decide who moves into the quarterfinals, so stay glued to your radios, bugs and beasts!

[heritage-metal-sonic]

Hello (The Pure Vessel stands before Metal, they put down something on the ground and move away from it) Do you like pets? This one is from my universe, it's called a Tiktik.

I am not exactly familiarized with the concept of taking care a living being... or caring in general.

Harming others is no longer part of my directives, however I don't know if I possess such ability

[ahawkinhallownest]

"I am in the process of building a museum of Hallownest's history and am in need of all the help I can get." Lemm said as he crossed one arm behind his back, probably to relieve back pain. "If you are interested, I could hire you since you seem so curious about the kingdom's history."

"Really!?" Lumen was practically about to jump for joy and had to ground himself by petting the Tiktik that stole his soup, which was now sniffing at his coat for more food. A job? In his dream field!? No, wait, he had to calm down and think about the offer rationally. "I mean, I'm not going to be here for long, just a month or two, and I just got here too."

Lemm gave the best dismissive wave he could with his other arm occupied with his scrolls. "That would be quite alright. I've been in need of help for a while, especially help that's actually interested in the subject." He gestured in the direction of the mountain. "If you're not sure, why don't you visit the museum and see it yourself? It's in the capital."

"That would be-" Hollow patted their leg to lure away the Tiktik, allowing Lumen to reach under the cape of his coat and feel around the pockets. "Hold on, where's my map-" He pulled it out and unfurled it. "Down and to the east, right?"

"That's right. I would suggest going there by Stag, but there's only one left and he's very busy these days."

Lumen nodded at that as he eyeballed a likely path to a large area labeled "City of Tears". "I was already told that by somebody else. That would mean going down the well..."

Lemm got closer to look at the map. "You might want to have someone help you get there. The tunnels are safer than they were during the Infection, but now they're full of wild animals and decaying infrastructure, so travel is still a little hazardous."

"I think I can handle myself down there." Lumen replied, inwardly cringing at the thought of hiring a bodyguard or guide. No way, that would definitely be too expensive. "I'm more worried about getting lost."

It was an exciting opportunity. Lumen originally limited himself to just a month in the kingdom because he assumed that there would be no people, and if there were no people then he would have had only so long to survive down there. Resources would have been limited to whatever he could have scavenged and whatever food he brought with him and could hunt. But like he said, people changed things, and someone offering him a job in the subject he loved the most changed it even more.

Maybe he could stay even longer? But then he would have to consider his family. They will eventually notice when he doesn't come back from his "little trip to Highroost".
