You Thought It Would Be IBIMM I Asked About, Or The Star, But It Is Not. No, I Need To Know What Was

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)

Batman would get to share the joy with ibimm Ghost that is having godseeker following you around constantly wanting attention

Hollow knight fandom, forgive me

Early PK meeting with established Hallownest higher beings:

Hollow Knight Fandom, Forgive Me
Hollow Knight Fandom, Forgive Me

That’s how it went down in canon, yeah?

Oh damn, this is a fun question

Ibimm PV would indeed think batman is the role model of the century. Don’t question them.

(They’d also be jealous that W&G Hollow has a PK who didn’t get mortal beamed though, but they wouldn’t mention it)

Ibimm Hornet would probably get depressed at W&G Hollow and PV both, for a multitude of reasons. PV would probably be the big reason

White Lady would have a complete crisis because there’s only so much denial of emotions one can have

Not the least of which because of finding out what W&G WL did (actually in large part because of finding that out)

Ibimm BV would probably think all of the siblings in w&g were Neat. Their BV got to have more plot. And a big nail. And a fun version of Ghost. They and Witch would also see W&G PV having good posture and wonder why theirs won’t

They’d all like baby Ghost let’s be real

Ibimm Ghost would find the stories about w&g Grimm very entertaining

I feel like the PKs would just. Avoid each other. Not make eye contact. Unless one of those PK’s happens to be a baby at the time and then @ashyronfire would have to decide how W&G PK feels about watching baby wyrm play minecraft in a sandbox

Godseeker would just be there to make everything awkward because she still technically lives with the ibimm Pale Family

Pitch more, Ashe, this is hilarious to me

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
