Art Of @grollow And @arsonistmoth's Ocs For @ashyronfire's Red Sky. (Tumblr Eats Quality, Hate)

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

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

Result of brain mixing Baldur's Gate 3 playing with the different hcs about the Radiance once representing hope/then corrupted (I say many, I mean Ashe), ask nothing

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

Something I made for @grollow the other day and still like it, so it can go on here. Post reference came from here.

happy late bday biolizard, killed me like 20 times but who can be mad at that face

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.

No mind to think

No will to break

Ur the hollow knight

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:

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