Batman Would Get To Share The Joy With Ibimm Ghost That Is Having Godseeker Following You Around Constantly

In honor of finally making @ashyronfire the grimmcut for IBIMM they petitioned for back in September, have the art I tried to make for the nightgown king himself

Quirrel, Elderbug, Myla? :3

Quirrel: What was your favorite thing to discover for the first time?

Every new map, I swear. I feel like I actually really got a thrill out of entering Crystal Peaks for the first time, even though it proceeded to be my least favorite map platforming-wise until I got better at gameplay. Same goes for the City and for Kingdom’s Edge (my beloved? For some reason?)

Or maybe my favorite thing to discover for the first time was just the stag station in Deepnest so I could stop my new player sobbing trip down there.

Elderbug: Do you stop to talk to all the NPCs? Who is your favorite?

I do. I must. It simply would be illegal if I didn’t. Unless I’m doing a speedrun and then the brain has decided it is illegal for me to talk to Elderbug so he gets run past and left to make his sad noise. Guilt. 

Quirrel is a good dude, he let me sit on a bench with him. I love Cornifer so maybe it’s him. I was half convinced he was actually a higher being in my first playthrough because he was just so unstoppable, up until Deepnest. I’m tempted to say Divine just because she’s unhinged.

Myla: What’s your favorite song from the soundtrack?

NO

NO I CAN’T DO THIS ONE

(maniac who has gotten the sheet music now for every song in the soundtrack except for two so far)

I guess White Palace. I guess. If I had to pick. But agh. I’m also partial to Pale Court but after much time going back and forth on it, I think the og White Palace OST beats it. Combat music wise, Sealed Vessel is the song of all time, but Broken Vessel and Nightmare King are responsible for pushing me into buying the game.

Have the thing I made for Halloween last year

There should be more Ender Lilies art out there, so here’s my part Final boss art! So spoilers under the line

me when we did not go take ibuprofen together

We’ve concluded that Ibimm WL and W&G PK shouldn’t meet because they might elope

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

Because I am tumblr unsavvy

As for the question

Is spoilers but yes XD They are intended to show up again in an upcoming fic. Because I cannot stick to my promise to leave things ambiguous for readers to have fun with, lol

(Though a part of me is tempted to write an alternative version where a Different Path gets picked in regards to them showing up)

There may be a oneshot or two that shows up first so I can’t promise they’ll be in the next fic to go up, but they will feature again in an upcoming multichap centered on THK

(Because I also personally love them both and can’t resist)

will Radiance and Seer show up in IBIMM again? dropout ninja doesn't have their ask box open.

Hi Anon!

That's a wonderful question. Hey, @dropout-ninja, your ask box is closed, why don't you answer this nice person?

(gwn)

Personally I hope so because I love them both so much

I am a broken man for it

(Go read W&G. Go read it. The most fic of our generation. I’m completely empty now that’s there’s no further chapters left to come.)

Everyone congratulate @dropout-ninja; they survived the end of W&G and now I have to write pantheons as my part of the deal lfksdkgknjds

20. If a witch offered you the choice between eternal happiness with your one true love and the ability to finally finish, perfect, and publish your dearest, darlingest, most precious WIP in exactly the way you've always imagined it — which would you choose? You can’t have both sorry, life’s a bitch

39. What keeps you writing when you feel like giving up?

Soul of God, Form of Moth Chapter 14: Who's Boss

By BasilBread (that'd be me!)

Rating: T

Characters: The Radiance, Xero, minor original HK character, the Pale King (Hollow Knight)

Current Fic Word Count: 62,609

Chapter Summary: After settling into a new "safehouse", the former god of light finds herself in a demeaning position and at odds with the lady of the house.

Author's Notes: Reader's discretion is advised for extreme snootiness (and inherent classism) as well as bullying.

Although Radi is the protagonist, she's still not a nice person! It's a long way to go on the road to any sort of redemption.

(If you like villain protagonists and haven't seen this fic, following this POV might satisfy that craving!)

Gotta take the whole thing apart to rescue XD Oh noo
