Seashore War:

David Wise's own favorite contribution to the DKC revival. A lovely soothing guitar piece with the harmonica coming in later for some serious nodtalgia.

some little gay bug sketches :]

bonus under cut

i like to think quirrel is actually very very bad at cooking. made with love of course but probably a very unique experience. burn the water season the stew with herbal tea forget how to cut a vegetable type situations

(hollow, i think, would likely not mind. they are not the type of critter i’d expect to have a typical idea of what tastes good. they probably make their own Atrocious Soup which is in turn thoroughly enjoyed)

Hollow Knight:

Also, I noticed this when I was messing around with sprites earlier:

Broken Vessel's shell is a grey while Ghost and Hollow's are bright pure white. Grey shells seem to be the default state of dead Vessels.

Which brings up something I always found interesting: Bretta's first Dream Nail Dialog:

"...Shining figure...So bright..."

Shining figure? So bright?

Bretta, you are speaking with a eldritch abomination filled with Literal Shadow Goop. Vessels and Darkness are as synonymous with each other as Fire and Hot. You cannot get a darker dark than the VOID!

Except, Vessels aren't all Void.

Their mask-shells are clearly different. The only part of them (outside their 'cloaks') that isn't black. And a part of them that is very hard and immobile, like bone. They crack, they splinters, they can break. It is the most vital part of a Vessel to staying 'alive'; the Vessel's shells are the only thing keeping their shades contained, keeping their physical forms stable. They are the "harness upon the Void" that the White Palace workshop lore tablet talks about.

And they might be, potentially, the only thing left mostly untouched by the Void when they became Vessels.

Because why else would their shells glow?

Why would Bretta think that Ghost was shining and bright if they weren't? Why would the color dull to grey when they die if they weren't loosing some sort of brightness? For what other reason would an aura of faint light follow Ghost in-game?

Vessel's mask-shells glow faintly with Pale light.

That's why alive Vessels use #ffffff; the exact same reason why it's used for PK: to show brightness. And just like PK, that brightness goes away when they die. They stop glowing.

Except for the Greenpath Vessel.

For some reason.

GP's shell is white even though they are very clearly dead. It never changes, not even when they've fallen onto the ground. My best guess is that GP was an early-ish replacement asset that TC didn't really put much thought into.

Hornet's arena used to be where Broken Vessel's fight was supposed to be. BV was originally supposed to give the Mothwing Cloak upon defeat. But BV was moved and Hornet was added. So now there was nothing to drop/give the Mothwing Cloak, bc let's face it, Hornet dropping a whole article of clothing upon a non-death defeat would be really weird for multiple reasons. So, TC needed a replacement way for the player to get Dash. So why not another dead Vessel? Now with bonus Foreshadowing Points! That's what I think happened, at least.

Depending on how early this was done, the entire concept of the Vessels might not have even been a thing yet. Hence the inconsistency.

It doesn't change the fact that now when I look at them it feels like they're still just barely alive.

Hornet’s Strange Adventures - Choice 3

(Game 2)

Previous choice: keep going left

Hornet decides she will keep going left.

She continues to walk in that direction, but is suddenly stopped. The ground…it’s! It’s rumbling beneath her!! She stumbles and tries to regain her footing but directly underneath her the ground begins to crack!

Before she can move, the crack grows bigger until it opens up, and she ends up falling into it

…

Hornet doesn’t remember hitting the ground. But instead she finds herself waking up on the ground confused and dazed. She tries to regain her focus for a second.

When she comes to her senses, she stands up and realizes almost immediately where she is.

It’s Dirtmouth.

Hornet looks around, still a bit confused and sees two bugs are present in the town. An older looking bug with a concerned look next to the bench, and a bug with a blueish hood further at the edge of town.

The lore thing is positive btw

Edit: THIS HAS GOTTEN ALMOST AS MANY NOTES AS THE OUTSIDER BRAINCELL THING IN A SINGLE DAY. WHAT THE HECK (although I don't have a problem with it this time lol)
