Friendly Reminder that the Vessel Eggs are Freaking Huge.
Also Obligatory Birthplace Egg is the only Egg Asset with Void Vines attached to it remark.
It was always strange to me how large Vessel eggs really are, especially because there really seems to be little need for it. Vessel hatchlings/nymphs are Tiny. Why are the eggs so big in comparison?
There seems to be waaaay too much unnecessary/excess space in each egg if there's only one Vessel per egg. Usually with eggs, by the end of the gestation period, the spawn is cramped in there with very little excess room. Extra unused space is wasteful, and biology hates being wasteful.
This is why I've personally always subscribed to the headcanon of Vessels eggs actually being more like Egg Sacs/Egg Cases than typical eggs. Both are when, for irl bugs, multiple larva/nymphs hatch from the same "egg"-like gestational container. Egg sacs are common for spiders (they make the actual sac itself with silk; here's a great video showing how one is made.) while cockroaches are know for egg cases (Here's a video of some hatching.)
Ghost's egg clearly isn't that much bigger than the other egg assets, it's just less destroyed, so it's size is a good reference for how big all of them would have been. And it's big enough for at least a handful of Vessel nymphs to have fit inside at once.
^ Case in point.
(You could probably squeeze a few more in there if you treat it more like a the sphere it's supposed to be and also depending on the horns. The main limiter are the heads/shells, since those are the hard parts* of a Vessel; Vessel nymph bodies seem to be quite squishy and flexible.)
(*= This is assuming that Vessel shells were hard during their gestation period. There is a chance they might not have been, since newly hatched nymph insects tend to have flimsy bodies for a while. The Birthplace memory shows that Vessels had hard shells at that point, and that seems really close to the point of hatching, so it seems likely that they hatched with hard shells rather than needing to wait a bit for them to harden up. Also, Vessel biology is weirdly wonky, so irl stuff doesn't really matter.)
Also, curiously, it seems Vessel eggs have two layers:
There's the outer shell, but there's very clearly a second, inner thing that has been broken out of. The different in the breaking look from the outer shell suggests this inner layer is made of a different material. The Pale King's egg lacks this, to it's at the very least unlikely to be a Wyrm thing, or at least not a Wyrm thing on it's own. It might be something unique to the union of Wyrm and Root and thus unique to the Vessels.
It could be a Root Thing, but we know jack shit about the White Lady and exactly how much she contributed to the Vessels.
I mean, we know literally nothing about how the Vessels were made besides Pale Babies Get Thrown Into The Liquid Shadow Pit To Get Stuffed With Black Goop, but that's besides the point.
There's also two alternative theories for why the eggs are so big that I'd like to touch upon: Void Swelling, and Stunted Development.
Let's go with Void Swelling first.
In snake eggs, the eggs tend to get a bit bigger by the time they hatch. Normally, it's not too much. Sometimes, however, the eggs really seem to swell up. Most people I've heard/seen talking about this think that the eggs are absorbing and retaining water from the humid incubation environment. Sometimes it's indicative of a problem; sometimes those swollen eggs start to rot, making it clear that that gestation has failed. Other times, the snake just hatches with a lot of egg goop.
It's possible that the Vessel eggs are so large because they've just been swollen up from the Void infusing into them.
Two problems with this theory: Vessels eggs are clearly hard-shelled, and hard-shelled eggs don't swell. At least, I've never heard of them doing that, but I'll admit I'm not a bird person. Perhaps some eggs got stuffed with way too much void and popped open before it was ready to hatch.
The second issue is that the Abyss is not what I would call a humid place (or, at least, it doesn't LOOK humid), and we don't see any liquid Void anywhere near where the eggs are in the Abyss. All the liquid Void we see is to the left of Vessel Corpses, and we see no egg assets anywhere on the way to and around the Lighthouse.. This makes it rather ambiguous how the Void even infused into the eggs at all, let alone if liquid Void was involved. Given how deep the Birthplace goes, it's impossible to tell what was at the bottom of that shaft before all of the corpses stuffed it up.
Unless ambient smoky environmental Void could have stuffed into the eggs enough to engorge them, which is also a possibility. Void is weird and we know little about how it works/behaves. Still unlikely due to the hard shells, but it's a theory.
The second theory is less about too much Void in the eggs and more about not enough Vessel.
It's possible that, at the time of Void infusion (and thus, death for the gestating Pale Children nymphs) the influence/corruption of the Void caused the Vessels to just stop developing. Dead things don't grow or develop after all.
Perhaps the eggs are so large because the original offspring that was supposed to hatch from those eggs were really supposed to be that large. They were supposed to be the spawn of a Wyrm and a Root combined. Even if the White Lady hadn't of been so big at the time of the Vessel Plan, she's shown she was always capable of eventually growing large. And if the offspring took aspects from PK's original Wyrm form over his dinky bugsona, which I would assume to be possible bc DNA and Genetics, then a larger size would also potentially be expected.
Or maybe some Pale Children would have gotten the Wyrm gene while others got the Bugsona gene, which is what Hornet got, and is absolutely hilarious to think about. Imagine getting riffed on by a twelve foot high sibling bc you got dad's Short Gene.
There's one issue with this theory, and that is of course, Broken Fucking Vessel. Broken Vessel always throws wrenches into Vessel theories, it's like their favorite past time.
Broken Vessel has aged. And, Hollow, more obviously, but BV is the main confusing one. Broken Vessel proves that Vessel can age on their own, without the potential influence/assistance of the King. BV proves that Vessel development isn't permanently stunted.
The most logical solution to this issue I've seen is exposure to the Void. Vessels, on a fundamental level, are made up of Void. It is intrinsically entwined with their very physiology. They're not just walking corpses stuffed full of Void and a Shade, their very flesh IS Void and that Shade.
Case in point:
BV, out of any other Vessel outside of Hollow, is the one who could have potentially come into contact with Void after leaving the Abyss. They're found in the Ancient Basin, which at the time of the game is heavily Void tainted (likely due to the Lighthouse being off and PK fucking off to Buzzsaw Land. That light had likely been the only thing keeping the Void suppressed underneath the Basin.)
PK could have used Void to supplement Hollow's growth into adulthood because Vessels probably literally cannot grow or age without it. Hence why Ghost and all the other escapee Vessels are stuck as nymphs while BV grew a tiny bit.
Of course, the solution to the BV issue also ruins the stunted embryonic development theory too. It's a rather poor and weak theory that I've included only because I though it was a bit interesting. Thinking about what the original Pale Spawn would have been like is always interesting to me.
With that, I have just one more thing to point out.
Ma'am, how the FU--
#hollow knight#Vessels#Vessel theories#This started off just jokingly pointing out how big the eggs were and devolved into an Analysis somehow#No seriously WL how the FUCK did you lay those?!?!?!#Or did you fruit them? Do roots fruit?#Those eggs are big enough to fit Adult THK I s2g#I'm still Salty the Black Egg in BET wasn't a massive Vessel egg sac/case#It would have fit so fucking well and also been so much more thematically tragic for THK#Still endlessly amusing that Hornet and PK are the Exact Same Height without their horns#I like playing with HK sprites can you tell?

honestly no movie I’ve seen has come close to capturing the dread of going through the wrong puberty. The average trans person has been through literal body horror shit and I feel like we don’t address that enough
#the truest repairman posts#I always describe having the wrong organs as feeling like some sort of Alien scene where it lays eggs inside you and you can’t do anything#About it#and cisgender people always look at me like I just shot a dog in front of them 💀#Sorry guys dysphoria is insidious and terrifying and ridiculously uncomfortable did you think I was doing this for fun#Transgender#Isttvg captured the dread part of this but the part where your body is being morphed into something that isn’t yours is yet to be#Properly explored#I’d like to say no movie has captured the horror of puberty as a WHOLE but honestly I don’t think cis people are going through all that#Whateverrrr

Imagine Prowl being a slut and getting pregnant with sparklings from so many other Mechs that it's usually hard to tell who's is who's
And also imagine him birthing a large egg, who most assume is Grimlock's but it's not
Now I'm curious whose egg it is...

I’m a bit of a nerd about biology so I do have some potential ideas about how Donnie would know about the kiddos. While regular turtles will nest for all their eggs, fertile or not, donnie doesn’t seem to have that instinct. The unfertilized eggs to him seem to be similar to a human on their period. So when the eggs are fertilized, maybe he does have that nesting instinct. Like he subconsciously knows and gets a severe bout of anxiety about making sure to have a good safe nest for these eggs. There could also be some kind of mystic thing that can be done to confirm his suspicions.
waves arms. biology!
i think both leo and donnie do have some degree of a 'nesting instinct' when they're on their cycle even now, they just don't currently have the chance to answer it. but i guess when they're typically on their cycle it's akin to their instincts gently being like, 'hey, uhm, a little burrow might be nice...' but when there's actually a baby on board, it's more like 'DIG A FUCKING HOLE IN THE GROUND AND GET IN IT, N O W MOTHERFUCKER. WE NEED SOFT BLANKETS AND DARKNESS RIGHT THIS INS T AN T.'
which does probably come with a great deal of anxiety, restlessness, etc. there would also probably be more human-ish symptoms, such as not bleeding (or producing any unfertilized eggs) as expected, morning sickness, and other general hormone fuckiness. and i'm sure that between the forces of science and mystics combined, they could figure out some sort of ninja turtle pregnancy test.
#donnie lowkey assumed that he (a fucking turtle) and his partner (a goddamn cat) wouldn't be biologically compatiable#and doesnt consider Baby to be a potential answer/outcome to these symptoms#(they are also perhaps not as careful as they could have been for this reason)#tw pregnancy#tw menstruation#asks#anon#my legacy of being The Egg Person continues ig#i did this to myself#i must accept it#gemini au asks#gemini asks#donnie is mad af because his body is screaming at him to NEST MF and then he doesnt even lay any eggs like he was EXPECTING#(coz theres babies in there and they gotta cook longer)#and hes like ?!?! WTF ARE YOU SCREAMING AT ME FOR THEN MY GOD. FUCKING WASTING MY TIME--#(hes not leaving the nest tho.)#actually lowkey i thought abt it a little more and as soon as he. like. proceeds to Not Lay Eggs he probably Panics#because the last time he Did Not Lay Eggs when he was Pretty Fucking Sure He Was Supposed To he almost died and it was horrendous#he probably freaks the fuck out and eventually goes to sorrel/leo and they gently coax him into getting checked out#coz theyre all convinced hes eggbound again#but nope! surprise mf <3 CHILDREN

I don’t ship JotaKak all that much but I gotta say Jojo’s Bizarre Married life is the most comedic fan work ever. Especially when CLAMP is one of my favorite writers.
I gotta know what people who love the ship think about it though; do y’all love it or hate it?
#jotakak#listen… Kakyoin did you lay this egg will never not be funny to me#I love clamp but Kakyoin is sooooo OOC it has me dying#but he’s absolutely adorable in their style ngl

THIS IS A JOKE THIS IS A JOKE THIS IS A JOKE dante and lady have an oops baby but lady is transgender and would have aborted that thang if she had the right equipment anyway so what happened was actually 100% dante’s fault and also:
it WAS just there when he woke up. what the FUCK!!!
(neither of them can figure out what niche confluence of demonic energy spawned a demon baby egg because dante has never received demonic sex education but this has definitely scared him off of a) fooling around in his devil trigger form and b) sex in general for like, the next couple of decades. minimum.)
#they aren’t dating but they did fool around a little#now canonically of course dante is a virgin—#dmc tag#dante did you lay this egg

When you responded to that gene post it did Not read as mean at all
thank you, i just want more people to google before they just say things, and think about if what they're saying actually fits with the topic at hand
#for example i just checked that post and the most recent comment is that cats don't need the gene for their placenta because#'cats don't have placentas' and 'only humans and mice' have placentas#which is so wrong it did psychic damage to me#if you can't quite remember something WHY WOULDN'T YOU TAKE TEN SECONDS TO GOOGLE before saying it in front of god and everyone???#if you're typing on tumblr then you're already typing on a device with internet access#in this case it's not a hard question to google either#just search 'placental mammal' and you will find the wikipedia article#with the summary that the majority of extant mammals have placentas#(mammals without placentas are marsupials-- so they have a pouch instead-- and monotremes-- or egg-laying mammals)#mixel whines#mixed bag

Shark Genitals & World Building
So, I've seen this Q&A a few times now and it really got me thinking about Fish-man biology.
Now, to be clear, I think it's pretty clear Oda isn't being entirely serious. When you look at how he designs his characters he goes for whatever is fun. He's not doing extensive research on whatever aquatic species he slaps on his fish-men or Merfolk characters. This is why for a lot of them, if you look up what they are mixed with they rarely share much if anything with the animal he's picked.
Saying a character has two dicks is funny, so Hody has two dicks--that's all.
But taking the answer more seriously the idea that at least some (because they do vary so widely from fish-person to fish-person) have changed genitals because of their added fish anatomy is interesting from a world-building perspective.
As someone who has a special interest in animal biology and has watched a lot of documentaries I can say that fish have really diverse breeding strategies. So, I guess, if Hody can have two dicks because he's a shark, I wonder if this could be true for any other fish-people and merfolk.
We see that at least some fish-people do have children the same way regular humans do, but to my knowledge we don't see any pregnant mermaids. Given how much larger Neptune is then his wife, and how massive Shirahoshi is, I think it makes sense that perhaps like many fish, Otohime laid eggs that were fertilized separately (this is actually how goldfish mate).
It could be possible that the way mermaids or even fish-women have children depends on the father. If they are not compatible in size they can reproduce Ovuliparity (the way I imagine Otohime did), or if they are of similar size they either go the more human route or, after copulation they lay fertilized eggs (like the skate cases often called mermaid purses you find washed up on the beach).
There's also something to be said for the variations fish have with gender. Some fish are capable of changing gender. It's more common that female fish become male (protandry), usually the largest of a group replacing the dominate male in the group. This happens mostly with coral reef fish like wrasses, groupers and parrot-fish.
Meanwhile, anemone fish, like clown fish change from male to female. When the one female dies the remaining male will become female, while an outside male will become that new female's mate.
Then there are Black Helmet fish which are both simultaneously and take turns releasing eggs and sperm when they spawn.
So, if fish-people and merfolk had similarly diverse genders and ways of reproducing I think that'd just be really neat. It could also lead to some fun misunderstandings between fish-people, merfolk and humans.
Of course, I don't think Oda ever put that much thought into it. He just does whatever he finds fun character design wise. I mean, it's not like Arlong has barrels like Sawsharks do, and Jinbe looks nothing like a whale shark. On top of that the story isn't really focused on that type of world building. Nor do I think he could really showcase something that deals so much with sex--even if it is fish sex.
Still, makes for some really great head-canons.
#one piece#fish-men#merfolk#fish biology#Arlong#Jinbe#Jimbe#his name is always spelt different ways#idk i sort of wish there were more funny misunderstandings between fish-men and humans#i mean given how isolated they were#and that Jinbe grew up a orphan#he wasn't given an education and what he did get was based on the world he lived in#what i'm saying is that I don't think he knows Chopper is a reindeer or in the very least doesn't know that not all reindeer are sentient#I just want that one pic of Griffin McElroy replaced with Jinbe#holding up the paper that says 'idk what a reindeer is and now i'm to afraid to ask'#also i wonder if Arlong and/or his crew tried to give Nami the talk when she was like 12-14 cuz they felt they had to#not knowing she got it from her sister already (who got it from Bellmere before she was killed)#and she's just silently thinking 'what the fuck are you talking about?!'#already horrified that this was the one time they decided they needed to kind of act like parents to her#but they don't want to end up with any human babies so they're just like 'don't lay any eggs for boys you don't know'#it does mean she knows way more then she wants to about fish-people biology then she'd like though
