Okay, I Wrote A Fanfic Of What If Crystal Of All Protagonists Fell Into The Distortion World And Became

speculative fiction writers i am going to give you a really urgent piece of advice: don't say numbers. don't give your readers any numbers. how heavy is the sword? lots. how old is that city? plenty. how big is the fort? massive. how fast is the spaceship? not very, it's secondhand.

the minute you say a number your readers can check your math and you cannot do math better than your most autistic critic. i guarantee. don't let your readers do any math. when did something happen? awhile ago. how many bullets can that gun fire? trick question, it shoots lasers, and it shoots em HARD.

you are lying to people for fun. if you let them do math at you the lie collapses and it's no fun anymore.

Coming back to Black and White to realize "Oh hey, not everything IS black and white. Life's complicated!"

And then they immediately throw Ghetsis in your face. The guy whose mask of lies paint him as Pure White but to call Ghetsis' heart Black would be an insult to the color as his heart is darker than that.

Anyways, I like the fact that Game Freak still took the time to show that truly evil people do exist and they hate us, wanting nothing but us underneath their control (or if that fails) or dead. 💀 Because I ran into rl people like Ghetsis' and I am so happy I was prepared to meet them by playing Pokemon Black and White.

Revisiting Black and White as an adult and a Disability Studies student is wild

Wow Ghetsis is a lot more problematic than I remembered

My take on what Lurien the Watcher is:

Okay, if you're new to the Hollow Knight fandom, time for me to introduce to an ongoing debate-> people have no clue what kind of bug Lurien the Watcher is. Concerning his fellow two Dreamers are not bugs (Herrah is a spider thank you and how did Monomon the JELLYFISH get into Hallownest!?!)

Anyways, people debate on what kind of bug Lurien is. Is he secretly a moth? (Oh the drama!) A dragonfly (that looks cool!) or maybe he is void! Many, including myself, say that Lurien is most likely a butterfly. They never mention what KIND of butterfly he could be...

So what if...

Lurien is a Blue Morpho butterfly?

First of all, Blue Morphos are blue, keeping in with Lurien's theme.

Second, Blue Morphos are one of the largest butterflies in the world with a wingspan of 5 to 8 inches! Which allows Lurien to be terribly tall, but not the tallest bug in Hallownest (which is true).

Third and finally, Blue Morphos have an interesting defense mechanism against predators: two different wing patterns. The back is blue (incredibly easy to spot) but the front (seen when the wings are closed) are brown with many pairs of "eyes", spooking predators into leaving them alone. And who in Hallownest has the reputation of seeing everything???

Also, cool fact, the blue on the Blue Morphos' wings are called by a light reflection. Combine that with the dark brown and suddenly the butterfly seems to disappear and reappear while flying.

There are so many more facts that I could share, such as Blue Morphos living longer than most butterflies or the fact that they go to sleep in caves and high trees so no one catches them. But this seems to be getting rather long. 😅

What Should I do? Post Everything or Separate?

Hallo !

I've started to notice a pattern in the hk community.

When people (not all but most) draw pk ,in bug or gijinka, they tend to hide his pretty wings or not draw them at all.

So I've decided to ask bloggers if they could show or describe the king's wings, just out of curiosity (and for my own amusement)

(Btw if you are not taking requests please forgive me, I did not wish to annoy you with my silly babbles)

Well, the pattern seems to arise from the game itself as we never see the Pale King with his wings. (Unless you believe the theory that the PK's robe ARE his wings) The only time we see the PK with wings would be in Origm's dreams as the White Defender...and the PK is far away as a light silhouette.

If artists were to draw the PK, they would not have good canon references for the PK's wings. They would be forced to rely on the dream sequence (again, a silhouette), the Hallownestian crest/seals, and the Monarch wings when Little Knight uses them. If the artist wants any references or inspiration for drawing the PK with wings, they will need to look at other fanart.

How do I know this? Only had to go through the whole process myself while creating this.

I had an idea to make Lurien a Blue Morpho Butterfly, so it was fun to draw him and the PK together with their wings. If you want to see more Lurien as a butterfly, click on the link.

I must say that I've come a long way since December with this photo. Thank you for giving me the chance to practice my drawing and editing skills!

(No need for forgiveness. I am quite honored that you asked me to do this as I mostly draw Lurien the Watcher, not the Pale King. I think this was the first time I ever drew the PK as a "bug", so it was quite the experience on top of practicing hands and lighting. Thank you!)

More of the Dadmato ending (best ending)

Reblog this Pokemon + cat meme for my friend.

Just because I cannot fully appreciate it, doesn't mean she can't.

What? I had to draw a happy post game where we save the Dreamers and Myla.

It was wayyyy too funny to portray Herrah and Lurien as disappointed parents. At least Little Knight got to eat sandwiches with Myla.

This stuff takes work people!!!!

Anyway, go enjoy the artist's work. 😄

✨ progress pics ✨ {finished piece}

While I am quite pleased with my finished piece, it definitely took a hot minute to work out. The background took SO LONG to actually paint, but the worst part was trying to pose the hollow knight. They are so tall and so skinny it was really hard for me to pose them hunched over the way I wanted while also complimenting the pale king's smaller size next to them. Height and size differences real 😩

I will probably color my rejected pose sketches soon, I did like them even if it wasn't quite the vibe I was going for for this piece 🎉🤸‍♂️🎉

Why is this so true????

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
