How did I never notice this

I just had a gander at Grimm's page on the wiki and uh

Hey, uh, Grimm? Mr. Troupe Master Grimm? Why are you only at phase 3?

Did the Nightmare King go farther with the ritual for this summoning than the last one? Or was there simply more flame in Hallownest than in the last Kingdom?

This might suggest the previous summoner had a shorter ritual, if there was only three phases. Did they not get to fight the Nightmare King? Or did they skip straight to the Nightmare King? I like that idea. There is someone out there so baller that they defeated NKG first try without training against his weaker counterpart.

Grimmchild Charm phase 3 lacks the Nightmare King's red horns, unlike phase 4. Perhaps Grimm is stuck at phase 3 because the previous summoner chose to banish the Troupe instead of completing the ritual?

Maybe each ritual unlocks a new phase for the next ritual, and whoever summons the Troupe next will have 5 phases to go through? Is there an end point to all of this? Do they keep going until all of the flame has been collected, the entire scarlet realm housed in its vessel? Phase 10, perhaps?

Maybe Grimm simply loses power over time, and degraded back down to phase 3? Perhaps this is the catalyst to starting the next ritual?

Many possibilities.

Au where Hollow and Ghost survive and then SILKSONG happens but- hear me out, hear me out-

Hornet was so, so young when the infection destroyed Hallownest. All her abilities in silk are derived from violence and hunting— unlike her weaver brethren, she never delved deep into the arts or healing beyond the basics to survive the destroyed husk of the kingdom.

This has direct consequences when Hollow survives in HK. Despite Hornet’s best attempts, Hollow’s wounds don’t heal quite right.

Hornet can’t forgive herself, never mind the insane reality she managed to save a voided godling from the brink.

(When Pharloom steals her, when she realizes there’s a history of thread, where she can learn how to spin silk maybe to heal-

-at the terrible cost of herself to save people she loves?

Hornet’s never been great about self preservation. All her life, she’s watched other people throw themselves into the abyss.

Now it’s her turn.)

Alas. Her siblings do not agree with that mindset. And they’re going to get their sister back, hell or high water.

ANYWAYS SOME OTHER DOODLES

Here’s more of this au if people wanna see!
