What would happen if Ghost used dream nail on Dewi, what sort of horrors would the little knight witness?
༻❂ ❂ ❂༺
A magical kingdom full of talking bugs! This is the coolest day of my life! I just need to be careful where I move and not splatter anyone. They keep moving around.
Wish I could see better. This cave is so dark and cold.
...I hope they can't tell I'm afraid of the dark...

Elden Rain 1 • 2 • 3 • VOID
And so the saga ends with this massive thing with one last concept courtesy of @transgenderfivepebbles and @spontyfandoms because youre so right, both games have freaky void worms. Any other concept tho i have no idea if it can work or not because rw's cast is not as big as elden ring. Heck i don't even know who Sig can be because i'm stretching the cast super thin lmao
Also apologies for the super long post because my storyboard for this comic is super janky and that made some of the pages here like... 1500 x 4000 px. Which should be fine in PC krita but I'm doing this comic in my very old tablet because i told myself I wouldn't render this too much but uh... yeah. This also caused much lags but it was worth. Behold my storyboard!
Anyways i'm done 👍
#warning SUPER LONG POST#and warning#rain world spoilers#downpour spoilers#elden ring spoilers#rain world#elden ring#my art#comic#rw crossover#rw saint#rain world saint#void worm#also yeah i gave saint dreamnail basically shhhh#crossover#elden rain#lyss art

Cheap dirty horses , pog , boom boom raccoon, dream nails , bears in trees ,
Does anyone have any music site recommendations? , I need to be able to download stuff , Spotify is my go to because of the everybody being on it , Spotify has recently started putting ads in my podcasts despite paying for premium >:( I have other podcasts listening methods but idk if it tracks it as well,
I need no such thing as a fish to exists really it helps so much with my sleep and just general regulation
Edit: I'm just bummed because the ads wake me up and I was going to be able to have a full year of fish in my Spotify rapped , last year I made a new profile in June because I mistyped my email in the original and I was top 0.5 % of listener , I going to unsubscribe from premium and keep listening to music on it data's less expensive than Spotify tbh ( the amount of data I use on music)

Nobody cares but hc that bardoon's kind are a type of lesser Wyrm "worms" that specifically feed off the decomposing bodies/kingdoms of dead Wyrms as they grow
#i love bardoon#big ol eye n a silly chuckle#any character who isn't immediately miserable is lovely#also i was so flustered abt bro calling me out for dreamnailing him

Grimm/nightmare heart theory
It's the Halloween season, so I thought it would be a good time to share my take on Hallownest's very own vampire clown nightmare demon, Grimm!
~
The nightmare heart is all that remains of an ancient god. In order to keep itself from completely fading from existence it made a contract with it's worshipper, Grimm.
Grimm gave his body up as host for the dying God, to keep it alive.
Basically he is the vessel of the heart. (This is stated in canon.) And gained immortality through means of the nightmare hearts ritual.
The flames which I would guess represent nightmares/fears or death (Sort of like essence which represents hopes or wishes, for nightmares rather than dreams) Feed the heart, and keep Grimms body growing and immortal.
Grimm is reincarnated into Grimmchild everytime the lantern is lit. With outside aide. Bugs who aide in the hearts perpetuation (such as Brumm) are forced to serve the heart for eternity. I imagine this would have eventually happened to little Ghost. (Had the endings not played out as they did.)
Why is he a circus troupe master? Because Grimm and his servants, a large group of especially peculiar bugs who travel the world, fit in best under the guise of being travelling circus performers. Basically it's their cover.
And maybe even before giving up his body to the nightmare heart Grimm was some sort of performing type.
Anyway Brumm's dialogue here and here
Implies that it is truly the best outcome for Grimm for the ritual to end and for him to be separated from the heart. Not only for Brumm's sake but for his own.
(I did not do this in my game, because I love my Grimmchild too much but narratively this is the ultimately good ending for everyone.)
#Love the Grimm troupe so much I need to post more doodles and thoughts about them#Oh#and yeah I personally don't believe that Grimm is the brother of the radiance or related to her in anyway#I see that is a popular theory here. Love learning about everyone's different hcs. That one is just not compatible with how I view grimm#Maybe she and the nightmare heart are in some way related#definitely there is a connection with the nightmare and the dream realms#But Grimm is not the nightmare heart#He is its vessel#This is actually stated in canon#And ending the ritual separates Grimm from the heart and frees him#At least that is strongly implied by Brumm's dreamnail dialogue#Grimm is being used/possessed by the heart but they are not actually originally the same being#hollow knight#Grimm troupe#Hollow knight Grimm#troupe master grimm#Hollow knight nightmare heart#Hollow knight Brumm#Hk grimm#Hk Brumm#Hk Grimmchild#hollow knight theory#hollow knight headcanon

What is with the Dreamers' Houses?!?! Part 3.5 Lurien's Spire - Pillows & Patriotism
Yes, you read the title right! We're talking about the pillows in Lurien's Spire!
Basically, I ran across a few articles calling the Watcher gaudy and greedy, lumping him with Hallownestian nobles. The Watcher, however, is not gaudy like the nobles of Hallownest. Before we bring in the pillows, let us compare the pictures down below.
Vs. the Watcher's Spire.
While there is a lot of details going on in all three photos, it is far easier to filter out Lurien’s Spire than the nobles. The purple in the Watcher’s Spire calms the player versus the red constantly popping in the noble’s houses.
That, and it took me four years before I realized that Lurien had wallpaper while every detail of the noble's houses was screaming in my face.
Now, we can bring in the pillows. We shall point out the pillows, discuss their arrangement, and what both say of the characters of the nobles and the Watcher himself.
In the noble houses, all the pillows are in the center of the room.
Meanwhile, in the Watcher’s Spire, the pillows are by the windows.
All the pillows in the nobles’ houses are facing the center where the nobles can be the focal point of attention. Where the point could be is either the red couches or the pillows themselves, but any visitor would certainly be hyper-focused on the noble by the mere seating arrangement.
If this was not the City of Tears that we know, such an arrangement could show how everyone is focused on the people and community. Unfortunately, we know thanks to the Dream Nail how all the nobles were overprotective of their geo. The arrangement of the pillows and seating of the guests was only to show off a noble’s wealth, not foster familial ties.
The Watcher’s Spire, however, has the opposite arrangement of pillows. The seating arrangement looks outside of the Spire, not in. Lurien invites any visitor to his Spire to admire not his wealth, but the wealth and health of the City.
One could argue that Watcher’s arrangement of pillows show how he is always looking outwards instead of reflecting upon himself and his faults, but considering the noble’s thoughts and intentions, I believe that Lurien is not selfish in looking outwards as his pillow arrangement is completely opposite of the nobles. Luriem is always looking out to his community AND loves to admire the beauty resulting from the community.
Finally, Lurien still loves both practicality and beauty as seen in his window designs by the pillows. The nobles’ design for the window is pathetic in comparison, though one must be grateful for being to see out of said window.
As for more comparisons of Lurien with other characters in Hollow Knight, let us marvel at how patriotic Lurien is.
All the little details.
I swear, Lurien is more patriotic than the Pale King. Compare the opening of Lurien's Spire to the White Palace.
VS.
Remember, Lurien's wallpaper still counts.
I wonder how Lurien being more patriotic than the Pale King speaks about his character?
As a Lurien fan, I am afraid that I must admit there is not enough evidence in the Spire alone to answer that question. Right now, these photos suggest that Lurien was Nationalistic while the Pale King was Patriotic.
Yet, once we look at both of their actions in-game, we can determine that Lurien is indeed Patriotic, not Nationalistic. Afterall, it is Lurien who makes the ultimate sacrifice for Hallownest not once but twice, even when he knew the Pale King wasn’t coming back. The Pale King, meanwhile, sacrificed everyone but himself, then fled from the Radiance when the Infection returned.
If both Lurien and the PK’s actions were foreshadowed by the amount of Hallownestian seals and crests, well…I do not feel as if I can make that judgement due to my basis on Lurien. I shall leave that to the community to decide.

missed the poll but had some recommendations for the tags, also Death was quite literally the first punk band ever and yet they never get any credit for it
Disclaimer:
This is part of a series of polls I wanted to make. These are bands that are mainly punk, but some do crossover (e.g. fishbone) and because this genre has so many smaller bands running through it, I couldn't possibly add all of them.
I also just wanted to make this so I could get probably some suggestions on BLACK musicians that made/make rock music. It's not a contest, I just want to see which musicians some people like and for this to be a way for people to discover them.
Other Polls:
Classic Rock
Punk
Randomly selected musicians in rock

"we're probably not going to draw our ideas for this because a lot of other people have done this crossover and we have too many crossover aus already" and yet, only three days later,
#bug fables#hollow knight#bf leif#bf vi#bf kabbu#bf chompy#stuff i made tag#we mentioned vessel vi earlier so we just. had to draw her#she still has a boomerang so when she gets the dreamnail upgrade it could be the... dreamerang#(we are booed off the stage)#kabbu is partly based on ogrim because they're both scarabs#chompers are just mobile fool eaters so of course that's what chompy is#leif is very normal. being constantly melting is typical for moths#we will stop talking here but if you want to know more about our ideas for this just send us an ask#because we do have old worldbuilding from thinking about this some time in the past

Lurien is a much stronger man than me because if i gave my whole life in service of my god because he told me the only way to protect my home was to fall into an eternal sleep and then said god ABANDONED ME I'd wake up from sheer rage
#hollow knight#hk lurien#hk pale king#having feelings about lurien again#his dreamnail dialogue always gets me#he doesnt want to believe the pale kings plan failed#hes given up to much for it to have all been for nothing#his death always gets me the most out of the three dreamers because hes the only one still holding on to hope in he pale kings plan#monomon has accepted that she needs to die for the world to move on#and herrah is accepting of her fate as long as hornet gets to have a future#but not lurien#hes so deep in the sunk cost fallacy

Eavesdrop - Any of your Hollow Knight muses talking about Ghost!
" my friend ! a fine child , are they not ? "
" an excellent battler , truly ! "
the troupe master is almost boisterous as he declares it , ever the optimist , ever the entertainer . his exclamation is followed by a low whistle , forewings flaring out as he described them . their battles were something he admittedly both adored and loathed . he hadn't been so equally matched in years , and the will of this little spirit was nothing if not masterful . the dreamdweller had been lacking challenge since .. since the last vessel , in fact . his only loathing came from an indisputable fact - like any good show , it would be coming to an end soon . a curtain would close upon their theatrics and put forth onto a new script . one he wouldn't get to participate in , the way he'd prefer .
" my child has grown quite fond of them , you know . most of the troupe has . perhaps that is why they've taken so long to gather the necessary flames ? " he takes pause , he knows what comes next . he stifles those thoughts behind his mask once more and grins , wide . " they're very similar to a bug i once met , one i was good friends with . however perhaps not as good at dancing ! "
the moth lets out a deep , hearty sigh , antennae twitching . similar , he says , in looks - in that blank stare , in the unnerving silence - but is there really much else there ? no , he doesn't know this one as well . he's never peered into this ones dreams ; he was unsure if they even had any . but that was never a bad thing - no , perhaps his uncertainty was a good thing . this child would bring good things . good things , to the troupe , the heart , even the world perhaps .
" the little vessel is quite the bug , i would very much like to be around to witness their full potential . "
#ringleader of the nightmare ; grimm .#; abyssembraced .#:: grimm thinks very highly of ghost i think . fighting mato for the dad title . he has history with ur sibling little ghost#:: also augh so much internal monolouging but uhhh . longnail + mark of pride + dreamnail

emotional about herrah tonight
#herrah's dreamnail dialogue (monologue?) fucking kills me AUGH#hornet was her entire reason for becoming a dreamer and AUGHHHH#hornet holds her no ill will but she clearly doesn't know her mother at ALL#iirc herrah went into the dream shortly after hornet was born#and hornet NEVER fucking mentions the pale king. i get the idea she doesn't like thinking about him very much#which. fair. pale king sucks#i also wouldn't talk about him if he were my dad#i'm excited to see if we'll get more insight on hornet's thoughts about him (and herrah although i doubt there's much there) in silksong#hollow knight

I restarted my Hollow Knight save and holy shit things make so much more sense now lmao
#hollow knight#played for 2 hours and beat Hornet Protector on my first try#way better than the first time#I took several days the first time#looking forward to understanding the lore better this time though#and not killing Marissa#I dreamnailed her#I was genuinely so sad#not making that mistake again

thinking about how the only peace void is given in hollow knight is oblivion. anger, stagnation, and confinement are the only other options. The Dream No More ending makes me insane because it's the only one that ends in a calm resolution. In the death and rejoining of all vessels into the sea. peace in duty fulfilled, ease in death, justice in their own undoing....
#thinking about hornet's dreamnail line 'only pity for your cursed kind'#yeah she had that about right#to be a vessel is to know suffering live suffering die suffering.....#avi.txt

item randomizers are so cruel sometimes
#hk#i was racing a friend and i won but only because he gave me a hint at where dreamnail was#cuz i missed it when exploring the area it was in#and i got to path of pain first so i was gonna return the favor by clearing it and telling him not to bother#.......and then this showed up#and because we weren't playing with dupes enabled he had to go for it too
