a proper introduction to my post-embrace-the-void AU! hive knight and hornet are queerplatonic roommates and hornet's extended family live with them
there's a lot of words here, too many to put in the alt ID, so all the text is below the cut here:
??? (the hollow knight)
tends to be a homebody
severe separation anxiety
still trying to learn the whole "having opinions" thing
does most of the housework
do not approach from blind side
don't.
resin (hive knight)
somewhat weakened from being infected
helps hornet hunt sometimes
loves physical affection
craves meat
hornet
primary provider of food (hunter and trapper)
has undergone her fifth molt
pre-silksong
disaster bi (doesn't know it yet)
doesn't eat as much as she should
barely sleeps
ghost (the knight)
god of gods, lord of shades, agent of daily chaos
had its first proper molt
handles finances
avoiding problems (godseekers) at all costs
moss (greenpath vessel)
kinda showed up one day
best helper
demands uppies
sould molt soon…?
follows ghost and THK around most
ember (grimmchild)
still a baby
ritual incomplete

Misc. headcanons below the cut
This is all post black egg and fall of Hallownest, I'm just bad at remembering to draw Hollie's scars.
The stack! Hollie does that when they're bored and want to bother Hornet, like how some dogs will rest their head on you when they want attention.
The ideal outcome to being a pest is chin scratches, riight where their mask ends and their void-body begins. That's the best spot.
Hollie is absolutely purring anytime they get affection, Hornet does too sometimes, but she's a little self conscious about it.
That vessel is a fucking menace. Their favorite activities include making Hornet's day just slightly more irritating. This ranges from moving her things just a few inches to the side of where she left them to demanding attention while she's busy to 'accidentally' knocking her into various bodies of water.
These two have been through a lot together at this point, and given how starved for security and affection the both of them were as children among other things like being born into a death and chaos and given immense responsibility that neither of them had any control over that eventually led to the downfall of everything they knew and loved- they both were quick to open up to each other and seek out comforts that they previously were denied.
That's not to say it didn't take them a damn long time to approach each other and directly ask for things, both of them have their own reasons for being unsure about that sort of thing.
Their recovery was a process but they got there in the end, and now they have each other without the constant fear of not living up to the egregious standards of royal parents or being an impure, vile, worthless stain on the world :3
Their relationship is so sweet honestly they deserve to be happy and healthy and with family that loves them
Even if sometimes Hornet wants to rip Hollie's head off.

CRAWLS OUT OF THE TRENCHES COVERED IN BLOOD
IT'S DONE
Somehow they took longer than PK's reference did. Here's to hoping I don't change their design again so I don't have make a 4th reference sheet for them 🥂
I forgot to add the fact that they start growing leaves and flowers in their fur after they recover and aren't stressed 24/7 onto the ref, AH WELL- I might just make a version for when they are older and not a complete wreck
Some notes;
They now have pernament wings that are usually tucked under an elytra, identical to Pale King's (monarch) wings but black and white instead. My friends also voted the pubic fur out ✌️😔 probably for the better, I couldn't come up with a way to NOT make it look awkward as hell.
Their adolescent stage is around 13-14 years of age and around Pale King's height, outgrowing him ever so slightly.
The hatchling stage is EXTRA potato shaped and EXTRA fluffy now, instead of the fur being mostly on the back of their neck and lower back they have a full mane that runs down their back, much like their dad. The hatchling and child stages also have much dimmer light, it gets brighter with age.
But most important addition; they have ✨️HEELS✨️
Not sure if the white bits behind the ridges on their feet and forearms wi stay but they are here for now, I'll see how I feel about them as I draw them
They mostly take after their father in all but height but they do have some traits from their mother, which will be more obvious once I will make a proper reference for her

Doodles!! Daddy issues central up in here
I'm SO happy with the 3rd picture. I imagine it happens in one of the family therapy sessions or one of the many rough and painful conversations the two had after reconnecting. It's a bumpy road, but PK is trying his best
ID start: A doodle page featuring The Pale King and The Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight, with the two first pictures featuring them as humans and the last two as bugs. In the first picture, the Pale King is holding Pure Vessel - who is wrapped in a blanket - close to his chest on the bed, holding his hand on their head as they tuck their head under his chin with eyes closed tight. In the second picture, the Pale King is now hugging them tightly, wrapping all four of his arms and his tail around them and pressing a kiss on top of their head as they fully burry their face into his chest. In the third drawing, the Pale King is looking down at the young vessel, who is sprawled out on the table and looks up at him questionably. He's holding his chin in his fingers as he ponders that they look like a tuber, with a transparent photo of a potato above his head. In the last picture, the Paale King looks awkward as he holds the vessel upside down, asking, "How do I hold this?" They don't seem to mind the position, simply staring ahead with a blank expression. End ID.
ID start: A doodle page of the Pale King and Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight as humans. In the first picture, the Pale King is holding the Pure Vessel's face just off-screen, where you can see their silhouette. He's smiling at them with tears in his eyes as he speaks, "I— I care for you so much, kid..." In the second picture, the Pure Vessel is crying, their nose scrunches and lips quiver as they try in vain to hold back their tears as they lean into his touch, grabbing one of his hands with their own. He wipes a tear off their cheek with his thumb as he continues to speak, "More than you could ever imagine." In the last picture, he pulls them in close into a tight hug. They grip onto his sleeve as he holds them, one hand on their head and his lips pressed against their forehead as they both cry and the Pale King speaks; "...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I love you..." The text in "I love you" is bigger, emphasising that part of the sentence. End ID.
ID start: A doodle page of the Pale King and Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight. The Pale King is lying down, curled up into a tight ball around the baby vessel barely visible behind his tail as they both sleep. In the next picture, the Pale King is in the same position, except now the teen and much bigger Pure Vessel still tries to lay with him. They're compressed at an odd angle with their head resting on top of their father's, and one of their arms slung around his neck. The Pale King has one eye open and looks displeased. End ID.
ID start: Continuation of the previous doodle page. The Pure Vessel, now completely grown and wearing their armour, towers over their father as they look down sadly at him. He's lying down, curled into a ball, and holding a pillow as he glares up at them, replying to their sad face with a short "No." In the next picture, we see a closeup of the two as the Pure Vessel lowers their head really close to their father's, looking at him with big wet eyes. He looks annoyed as he sighs heavily. End ID.
ID start: A doodle page of the Pure Vessel and Pale King from Hollow Knight. In the first picture, the Pale King is holding baby Pure Vessel in his arms, saying, "You're pretty cute..." as he looks down at them. In the second picture, the Pale King is holding his, now grown, child close to his chest, hugging them tightly as they grip onto him and burry their face in his chest. The Pure Vessel is also wrapped in a blanket. In the last picture, the Pale King is holding Pure Vessel's face, pressing his forehead against theirs with a smile as he says, "Oh, you've gotten so big. Where did all this time go? What happened to my lil tuber?" End ID.
