#What I'm saying is Hollow refuses to be angry at PK out of stubbornness and to spite the being that caused them so much suffering (Radiance)

Imo Hollow does have some built up resentment obviously but it so so so deeply repressed for a wide variety of reasons including the big reason that is: every single emotion is deeply repressed as a result of you know.. being the hollow knight.
And also! acknowledging in any way that it deserves to or should be angry because of everything it's been put through would be an absolutely devastating realization.
Realizing that it sacrificed everything, literally everything and suffered all for the king, their father.
Being angry or hateful towards him would be so difficult. Hollow gave everything for him,
And wants to believe that even if he didn't get what he wanted, and the kingdom fell, and the plan failed, at the very least the reason for all of that suffering was good.
That it meant something.
That it was for a good cause at least.
Oh and also also! The Radiance being trapped within it's mind and consistently making it suffer (physically and/or mentally) while also being the greatest PK hater of all time and surely not hiding that from her captor, most likely making Hollow very aware of it, and attempting to turn it against him too, the entire time, I imagine would actually cause Hollow to become even more loyal to the king.
(I acknowledge that PK is deeply flawed, and greatly deserving of any and all resentment/anger Hollow might direct at him. And Hollow should be a little more angry actually or at the very least be willing to acknowledge how badly they were treated. STILL I do not believe Hollow would so easily think this way and would intentionally repress such thoughts or feelings.)
#What I'm saying is Hollow refuses to be angry at PK out of stubbornness and to spite the being that caused them so much suffering (Radiance)#And out of desperation to believe everything that was sacrificed was for good cause#For fear of dealing with the consequences of believing otherwise#And also yes out of genuine love#(this a very traumatized bug. Probably the most traumatized bug there ever was and I do not believe Hollow would deal with these#Sorts of things in any particularly healthy way X'D)#Anyone who's ready my fic knows this is my interpretation But wanted to get it out there#Hollow and PK and their relationship is so interesting to me#Literally my favorite relationship in the whole game it's so tragic#Doomed by the narrative family relationships my beloved#hollow knight#hk thk#hk pv#hk the pure vessel#the pale king#hk headcanons#It's cut dialogue but the way Hollow says “...father?...” There is no anger implied there#It seems more hesitant yet hopeful than anything#Aaaaaa I'm actually gonna cry now I shouldn't think about that line
