#ghost inheirited their gremlinness from PK

[downthewellintothewaters]

Pale King Receipts.

i’ve been slowly storing up a list of all the shit the Pale King messed up.  Starting with...

Littering his dead body at the edge of the kingdom completely wreaking havoc on the ecosystem.

Stealing the peaceful moth cult from the now incredibly pissed off sun god.

Tried to hide knowledge of the sun god so no one could know she existed, pissing her off even Farther.

Created a Kingdom in a bottle. As the only kingdom it cant export or import from anything but itself causing a mass social split between makers and users.

Is a massive lier

lied about the kingdom being the only and last one. 

if he believes his own lie, that means he doesn't consider any other kingdom to be worth anything and pride is a sin yah know.

While hiding all evidence of the radiance he forgets the MASSIVE STATURE OF HER AT THE TOP OF HIS KINGDOM.

Built his palace under the sewers

Created a marvel of civil engineering in the city of tears. all that water managment and draining systems, we cant even get our roads to drain right and he goes and manages an eternal rain. this is far more sophisticated than HUMANS HAVE MANAGED. our cites can handle like, two weeks of consent rain max. not even. (i dont live near subways but how often do they flood in heavy storms?) so props there PK.

when shit hit the fan he uprooted the whole palace into DREAM aka THE THING THE RADIANCE HAS CONTROL OVER. srsly bad plan

i’d call the creation of hornet a sin but everyone had agreed to it so it can pass, also we get hornet out of it and that is always a plus, so one point removed.

Proceeds to make hornet an orphan so add that point back on.

Created the stagways. Sentient bugs that TALK cant ever leave them. Slaves to always carrying around other bugs to places they will never see themselves.

 They are basically extinct because of this because HE SEALED THE STAGWAYS WITH THEM IN IT.

Sealed Hallownest to keep the infection in (badly)

Sealed the city gates leaving Hedgimol with the key. (who had his ENTIRE suit stolen, key and all.)

srsly he just sealed bugs alive and left them to fend off zombies.

Created trams that can only be used if you have a passed issued by the pale king himself.

only one tram is actual useful

the resting ground tram passes over the blue lake because like, bugs cant swim, letting the crossroad bugs visit their dead with is nice of him. points for that.

also the resting ground elevator, bugs are into cemeterys i guess. there is one in dirthmouth too. and the resting grounds with the shaman. 

lots of places are build out of bug shell so wtf. how long does a bug have to be dead until it’s socially acceptable to use their corpse for building materials?

uses enough bug bricks to weird out travelers.

refused to declare an heir because he planed to rule forever

lefted his kingdom set up for a horrible power vaccum

left his magic brand UNGUARDED IN THE KINGDOMS EDGE. if it were not for hornet taking that role litterly anyone could wander in and take it.

i would put refusing to let his wife have a child until he wanted to toss them all into the void here, because that’s a problem. that is a BIG ONE. but WL personally doesn't seem to care. so Extra points off for bad parenting.

she was put off by all this enough to put her off breeding which is something she still wants to do (mom ew tmi) so... traumatizing your wife?

harnessed void. im pretty sure that’s a taboo

made the kingsmolds and thought the void was mindless. those things display obvious emotions. 

made the collector. 

made the vessels

proceeded to cause most of them to die

made the vessels voiceless, void is not without sound. if the collector is a Kingsmould then they CAN think and talk. (i blame the laughing bastard, this is why we cant have nice things)  the Shades can sing and they whisper. dick move PK

created the shade gates? WHY

stuck markoth at the KE and put a shade gate there (this is probably a good thing)

sealed the abyss

left the lighthouse keeper in the abyss. did he just forget about them? Why did he doom them to live in this hell pit until the void itself told him to turn off the light, and then perished.

left living vessels in the abyss

didnt even do a good job of sealing the abyss, counting Greenpath vessel, lost kin, ghost, and the ones in nosk’s lair, about a dozen made it out.

Everything about Hollow.

Buzzsaws

path of pain

HOLLOW WASNT HOLLOW AND THE WL KNEW THE PK SUPOST TO HAVE CLAIRVOYANCE AND HE WAS BLIND.

Ruined a perfectly good Knight (orgim)

Ruined a Perfectly good knight (hollow)

Requited the three dreamers

created a way of sealing the radiance in such a way that when it failed. It is IMPOSSIBLE to do anything about her.

SERIOUSLY HE DOOMED HIS OWN KINGDOM BY PISSING OFF A SUN GOD OF DREAMS AND THEN SEALING HER BADLY

hornet has spent ages unable to do anything about the dying kingdom because Radiance is sealed by dreamers.

the radiance is able to infect more bugs unhindered

and what was supost to seal her is now protecting her

i realized this while fighting the watcher knights, their dream nail says “Protect .. seal”  i was all, oh yeah that was their job. but infected! if radiance wanted out, she would want the seals broken.

she doesnt want out, shes as snug as a bug in a vessel rug.

PK made her a perfectly protected home

Monomon’s extra protection meant that if Quirril hadnt returned Nothing could have stopped the Radiance.

he perfectly set everything up to fail
