#Lost Above Pharloom AU

[ostebee]

Did this small thing just to gather thoughts on MC, Anna. She isn't fond of spiders actually, yet she's got her interest in biology and nature studies.

Part 0. New Higher Being.

[ostebee]

Bad news for Dewi..... 😞 this spiderling is in prison of glass

Dewi would later grow up to be the creator of the hit, souls like game: Hollow Knight

That's why Silksong is taking so long. He has to wait for Hornet to get back and tell of her adventures!

[ostebee]

Lost Above Pharloom AU isn't actually about a human interacting with bugs... it's about bug interacting with humans :'D

[ostebee]

Lost Above Pharloom, Chapter One. Techs.

Beginning

Bought myself small sketchbook to draw small adventures of small spider. Hornet is a bit overreacting :')

Or is she?

Synopsis of this inspired by @lilybug-02 AU: MC's name is Anna, she just finished uni and she have no idea what to do in her life. One day she finds really weird spider in her garden. It appears this talking spider is Hornet and she escaped bug kingdom called Pharloom. Hornet asks Anna for small place to refuge and now she needs to learn how to survive in new world, even more dangerous and bigger.

[ostebee]

For newcomers: what is actually Lost Above Pharloom?

It's my Silksong AU with small sketches (they aren't lined up chronologically despite being called chapters) revolving about adult human Anna and Hornet. During Hornet's big fight against the Bell Cult she retreats and ends up in strange garden, that belongs to humans and from now on Hornet is discovering big vast world of humankind. Also it features Lacenet (ofc platonic, you know little ol' me) and is a small vent for me.

It's not connected with @lilybug-02 Dewi's adventures in Hollow Knight, but highly inspired.

Lost Above Pharloom: Chapter 2.5. Closer, than you think.

Previous | Beginning

Small continuation of previous one mini-comic. This time — something more serious (whoooah!). Hornet is going through some struggles.

[ostebee]

Lost Above Pharloom: Chapter 3. Something hard.

It's social anxiety time! Anna is fucking scared of calls. Hornet is just there for her anxious as hell temporary host.

[ostebee]

Lost Above Pharloom: Chapter 2. Closer, than you think.

Previous | Chapter 2.5

It's a bit hard moment for me since it's basically mirroring my own situation and yeah... Maybe there will be one more part. No promises.

Anna loves playing Need for Speed by the way.

[ostebee]

When lights will be on I'll definitely try to make ref for Temporary Princess' Host Anna. Not sure about full comic since I'm not comic artist but damn... So much interesting themes to explore 😔

And yeah. Her Majesty with her royal bed (empty matchsticks' box and some cotton pads)

[ostebee]

Anna: why tf you're striking my phone with your needle

Hornet: some man inside struck you and hit you

Anna: *looking at the screen* alright???

Hornet: WHY HE DOES KNOW YOUR NAME WHAT FORM OF WITCHCRAFT IS THAT???

Anna: Michael Jackson.

Hornet: it might be a powerful spell, huh

[ostebee]

I think more adult approach will suit Hornet's journey nicely. She had her comfort zone and duties and after Dream No More everything suddenly changes. Hornet's no longer defender of ruins. There's nothing to protect.

And Anna just got her diploma, completely out of her comfort zone too. She had study routine but after graduation there's no more duties. I might say that it could be more vent thing than just silly adventures. And I'm still like.. nervous since I'm not so good at comic and stuff. Will someone be actually interested in such thing???

[ostebee]

Lost Above Pharloom: Chapter 4. Spider, that should be protected.

Previous | Beginning | Masterpost

I'm practicing mini-comic, guys!!! Maybe there will be more of them.

Hey, I know it's way too simple but I'm doing it anyway. Also there will be masterpost for LAP au with everything that exists.

[ostebee]

Lost Above Pharloom: unknown files.

It seems Hornet is having big adventure in human city!

"What is this weird thing?"

"Are you really living like this? That's... Weird"

[ostebee]

Pov: you found a spider in your bush of raspberries and now you both are going to fight bunch of evil abductor bugs

[ostebee]

Follow up question; Does Anna find out that the little spider she found in her yard is also half dragon(?) and possibly a god?

Hornet is highly secretive about it. Anna doesn't know a thing about lore (because Hollow Knight is nonexistent in this universe) and it might be a good thing to keep that in secret. But! If there will be opportunity for Hornet to show her powers (maybe even during her fight with Lace because she apparently will be lost too), Anna will be surprised as hell.

[ostebee]

How exactly did the first meeting between hornet and her host go? I'd be pretty terrified if I found a demigod spider just chilling outside tbh

It went funny enough since Anna isn't really onto bugs or spiders at the beginning. Yet she has character arc with learning to appreciate small lifeforms ☝️ she doesn't really need to know that Hornet is a demigod and daughter of eldritch horror and ancient wyrm, she's scared by simply thought of Hornet being present in her life, poor girl.

And she wasn't just chilling, she fought for her dear life against Big Hairy Quadrupedal Beasts From Above (dog named Ayax and cats Phil, Miko and Grunkle).
