This Comment Will Always Live In My Head Rent Free. Sometimes You Just Gotta Summon A Demon Clown With

In honor of its last chapter going up today, I’ll use the fic banner Ashyr gave me and make a rare tumblr post.

Fic is found here:

And is a longfic multichap following the Hollow Knight post the Delicate Flower ending. It’s the usual recovery, THK survives story with a seasoning of healing, gender exploration, side adventures with Grimmchild, tea time with Grimm, and a dash more Zote than was intended

Thank you for the banner Ashe!

Bullying works, because here I am posting for @ashyronfire. I have so much art for the fic verse set in/after It’s Burned In My Mind and the subsequent bonus stories. Here’s a set from the latest oneshot (as of this date):

Both the sketches and colored versions were done in hyper speed without care for quality. I am primarily a maker of shitpost art so What Quality, never heard of it

Sketches:

And this bonus, because Ashyr said Ghost deserves to sit on the table no matter their size

More fanart for @grollow/@ashyronfire’s Red Sky

Here, for the viewing pleasure: the pale families

I wonder what would happen if the timelines of IBIMM and W&G collided and both pale famillies met

I have it on good authority that IBIMM PV would hero worship W&G Hollow. @dropout-ninja, opinions? lmao

You thought it would be IBIMM I asked about, or the star, but it is not. No, I need to know what was going through your headspace with Chains' journal entries. You see, they are my actual favorite part of Chains, because I struggle to write journal entries and make them feel like journal entries. But this one:

‘Entry 47

This is a small lie: I do not mind the pushing of the Teacher’s assistant because I understand it.

This is perhaps a little bigger than a small lie.

I can not understand it. He thinks I have begun to. I lie. […] ’

From Chapter 23 (24 on ao3) plays in my head often. I do not think you know how much this fucked me up when I read it because we weren't talking about it, but I've never forgotten it and I've wanted to do a diary-style fic for AGES because of this. Help me. Tell me how you made this so damn good. (The whole entry, I just didn't wanna quote the whole thing back at you when its a little on the long side.)

I have a feeling a lot of my director’s cut reveals would just be me shrugging and saying idk where x came from??

Because I think that’s. That’s just the majority of my writing. And in terms of coming across the idea of journal entries, I honestly have no clue what spawned that

But the journal entries were one of the few random things I wrote down before even starting on outlining or chapter 1, along with some other random scenes/sentences/dialogue (THK’s scene with the Troupe Master when he’s leaving for the first time, the first White Lady scene, things like that). I think there were actually a few og journals that the fic wove off of that ended up being changed/deleted. I knew Myla’s song would get to be an entry, the entry you mentioned up there was written pretty early on, basically I knew that I wanted to have the entries show their writing style and discomfort in calling themself an ‘I’ and how that evolved and progressed over the story. The entries and gender subplot were basically the backbones that the rest of Chains spawned on. So fun fact! We wouldn’t have it if not for the journal entries subplot. Even if THK was screaming over their ‘homework’ for a good half of the fic

(As a side note, about by the 20s of chapters, a friend had convinced me to use the sort-of maybe-PK arc from the end and I had the image of them just dumping giant stacks of journals in front of him to go “read”, and so I kept that in mind for all the entries that got to take place for the next 40ish chapters)

Where I mainly write about robot aliens or depressed bugs with amateur writing skills. 


(I’m not active in posting on tumblr or ff.net, but I’m active on AO3)

I crave Hollow and White Lady interactions and @dropout-ninja 's Take Two absolutely delivers as always, this scene in particular stuck to my brain like bubblegum

PV probably knows by now. No help to their grimm.

No help from him at all

I wonder what would happen if the timelines of IBIMM and W&G collided and both pale famillies met
