The Elopement Realized

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

A fanart for @ashyronfire for their fic We Are Like The Living Dead. Why does Hollow have a snoot? Who knows. Not me the artist.

(The spiritual successor to this one:)

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

as soon as i saw Hollow Knight in your bio i was so wishing my brother had a tumblr. he has been talking about Silk Song for so long, he loves Hollow Knight, he draws the characters, and i think he has plushies. they definitely live in his head rent free, too!! thanks for making me smile!!

Aww. Your brother has good taste, it's such a fun game and the art style means the characters are also a lot of fun to draw so I relate to his pasttime- and I've got a few HK plushies myself, I almost wonder if we've got some of the same ones. We've got to collect something while waiting for the elusive Silksong lol.

It was really neat to hear from one of my favorite fanfic authors, and I just saw the news yesterday about Cataclysm while rereading one on ao3. I'm hoping to get the chance for a free day to sit down and read the novel soon, but wanted to say right now congratulations on the recent publication!!

Part 2 of Trimmed White Lady

Happy bday bloodbourne I wish I was playing you instead of being sick blehgh bleh

Here is the singular nice pic I got from last time I was playing

Whee now back to being sick for me

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

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

Hollow knight fandom, forgive me

Early PK meeting with established Hallownest higher beings:

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

I'd love to ask about Chains Hollow aaaaaa I love them. Maybe something about how you wrote their relationship with their father. Which. I guess is a lot since it's throughout the fic. Maybe near the end if you want it more specific (like, with the void) but I'd take any part.

Chains Hollow, my beloved. They were my first introduction to writing for the Hollow Knight fandom and out of the options, they were likely the best character I could've picked. THK/PV remain the character that comes to me the easiest, I love writing them. Chains Hollow in particular was fun to write because of how their pov itself evolved, along with their personality. Their view of the world and of themself was the highlight of writing the fic, including their relationship with their father. They started the fic with him on an absolute pedestal and they would attempt not to think about him at all, because they thought they couldn't deserve to. I set out from the start wanting their perspective on him and that relationship as a whole to change, so while it started at that, their view of him gradually came down from that 'can do no wrong' status. It was always a tricky part of the story to write, I'll say that- I wanted them to move forward and still address their past, to end in a state that they can call themself by a title without shame and express their own personhood instead of feeling like that was something to apologize to him for, but the fact that it was all posthumous would've made it tricky to start with. Adding in the ambiguity of the void chapters was part of Chains that I actually struggled so hard in publishing (Ashyr can vouch, I spent chapters 57-58 whining behind the scenes) because there is a line between closure and clinging to your ghosts. In general, writing their relationship got to evolve from them trying not to think about him at all, idealizing him, remembering his more 'human' moments, feeling guilty and responsible for his death, to seeing more of the world and questioning why Hornet treats the subject of their father the way she does, to eventually being the one with more of the independence and lead, almost a role swap. They never stopped loving him, but they weren't going to have loving him mean suffocating their own self anymore. It was one thing to write them expressing that to characters that didn't know anything about their role as THK (the Dirtmouth gang), or those who would've been outside of that (Grimm), but another to write them feeling self assured enough to express it all to PK's visage
