Does anyone else ever think about the hollow knight's unused dream nail dialogue and just lose their mind

They think of him as their father even though he created them not to think or feel. Even when they're being put through the torture that he specifically created them to endure they still call out to him. They loved him and wanted to make him proud and that was exactly why they couldn't. Can anyone hear me

the older designs for the sibling trio, which i never posted outside of the HK discord, for some reason (???). featuring some annotations because i like infographics and slight vessel anatomy notes on hollow's. i'll redesign all these in due time. also, i've kinda wanted to make a fashion chart for all 3 siblings (spoilers: hornet is the one with the best fashion sense).

some notes on this AU:

it's set after the Embrace the Void ending where ghost did not kill any of the dreamers pre-ascension; as a result, characters like quirrel and lurien's butler are still alive.

however, despite the radiance's death and the seal over the black egg temple breaking, none of the dreamers have woken up.

hornet is left taking care of her long-lost, dying sibling, and recovery for them and the kingdom is difficult.

to add insult to injury, not long after the unsealing, the void sea began to rise for unknown reasons. if left unchecked, it would eventually drown hallownest, but no one is up to the job in a godless, dying kingdom. unless...

(it's a shame that ghost has no idea how to deal with godhood. if only someone could help with that).

Hollow Knight food concept art I’ve done this before, but I wanted to go into more depth on the processes and ingredients used

I’m slowly amassing the ingredients needed to bake a cake

Getting back into hollow knight after literal years. I’m a veteran y’all.

Okay so spoilers for Hollow Knight, in regards to Quirrel.

Everyone seems to assume that he drowned himself at the Blue Lake but. . .all we see is his nail? And his dialogue to me sounded more like he viewed him having initially forgotten as a second chance, so I actually think he may have left Hallownest. Maybe gone to live somewhere quiet, be a scholar or something. Is there any actual evidence he drowned himself, aside from finding his nail by the lake and the "spend a final moment with Quirrel" achievement (which can be taken as we won't see him again, not that he's dead)?
