#with a hollow mask

[sisterofoblivion]

So. Many. Conflicting. Feelings.

Gah I love Aizen, too, the evil shithead. Someone in a fic described his eyes as tea water and I'm not getting that out of my head anytime soon-- I realize I have not taken my second dose of meds. Ah. Rambling.

What I ACTUALLY came here to say was like YEAH Aizen nearly took over the entire everything with the Danger Marble ™️ but I'm telling you if someone had fed him an American McDouble, he woulda been heckin' screwed.

Bug Dewi (Mining Bee)

Many people have asked what Dewi, from the HK comic, would look like as a BUG. (The design is very loosely inspired by the Mining Bee). Here's a lil bit more art. And here's Dewi's dad as a bug.

I have also learned too much about this bee and will now infodump about why this is a cute bee for Dewi.

Mining Bees are solitary, but they commonly nest close by one another in "bee cities". I thought this would fit since Dewi is a Human, a social creature, but not a hive mind.

As a rule, Mining Bees are non-aggressive and their stingers are too fragile to sting humans. Much like Dewi, these bees do not want to fight.

Male Mining Bees are covered with shaggy patches of hair, which I thought would fit Dewi's signature fuzzy head.

it kind of gets overshadowed by the horror of the rest of the episode, but. how funny is it that hunter Takes Off His Mask to yell at luz in the beginning of hollow mind. he's the perfect boy i just-

sorry i know it's my usual agenda rearing its head but i do think this is adorable. the Second the rebels are gone, hunter is like well fine. you just tackled me and fucked up my whole arrest and you're an anarchist shithead who constantly ruins my plans. but i KNOW you aren't going to attack me. for some reason i trust you implicitly. i don't need full armor here. what i NEED is for you to see JUST HOW LOUDLY I'M FROWNING-

One of my favorite oddly specific character tropes is the largely kind/benign little bean who's flaws/insecurities allows them to be corrupted by an unnatural and evil force.

Hollow and Cyn are a bit looser examples as Hollow was the one who started the manipulation and Cyn's original character is still mysterious. However, Hollow was only an intelligent docile fruit eater acting on its nature until it was pushed into eating meat and parasitized by the human ego/pain. Cyn was largely an unlucky outcast and an easy target for the Solver's infection.

Disjointed thoughts on making the voidbugs mmmmm buggier

My chickenscratch says:

"Organic mask (able to be molted (?), bio remnants of pale king and lady)"

"Void formed eyes (still swirly)" (my brain goes void sea lookin vibes, for context)

"Translucent eyelids"

"Not strictly necessary (void naturally repellant)-vestigial? In a way? Uses them for expression post-freeing"

Then it's just ghost and hollow slow blinking like cats :>

I swear, the Pale King just organized a conveyor belt for the production of minions from the void and delegated his duties to them

In my understanding, Lurien and the Collector were the two most reasonable specimens, so the King made them work. For free, of course, only out of a sense of love for its creator. And less autonomous samples became his kingsmoulds

Lurien was obviously entrusted with overseeing the City of Tears, but I think the situation is more interesting with the Collector

I think the King originally appointed him as a scientist who was supposed to study the effects and consequences of contact of living beings with the void. Is it possible to defeat the infection in this way or reduce its impact? It would be easy for him, since he himself is from the void

After all, he has his own tower with a study. But to be honest, the Tower of Love reminds me of one big room with soft walls for a madman, and it stands literally on the very edge of the city, isolated from it. I think the king initially saw that the Collector was not quite adequate, but he needed research, so he simply provided him with a tower with access to the Edge of the Kingdom so that he could catch unreasonable beetles there for research, and not cause problems in the city

The bug with the void flowing out of its eyes, in which we find the key to the tower, thinks that they have been together with someone for too long, and have become one. I think it was one of the assistants or workers in the tower who escaped when the influence of the void on the inhabitants of the tower became obviously detrimental. He locked the Collector up and took the key with him so that he could no longer "protect" everything he could reach
