Alice: madness returns x Hollow Knight

I thought this would be a neat crossover. I love both the games and A:MR was somewhat my childhood. THK has the dollhouse dress and Little Ghost has the default wonderland dress.

Tryna be a little less precious with my sketches. I can never get any ideas out the door because I can never polish them enough :')

Big on the idea that everyone is fine and the siblings just get to be okay and grow together. I'm huge on that actually. Some lil related headcanons under the cut~!

Ghost does indeed tire of the nail sometime around the (effective)age of 12, and in fact DOES join Sheo in art.

Hollow also does this, immediately after physically recovering enough from the sealing/infection deal to do so.

Both of them struggle with feelings of inadequacy with their work. They often paint together and help build each other up.

Hollow(Hero? I've been calling them that) is the type to shut themselves in a room for a few hours every month and walk out with bangers. Every single time. Would be a fantastic animator if the medium existed in Hallownest. Maybe it will someday!

Hornet's not good at drawing but is great at literally everything else. Sewing, crocheting, felting, sculpting, music, doesn't matter. She is unstoppable. Or she would be, if she ever finished anything.

They like to do trades a lot. "I'll paint you that book character you like for a plushie of this character I made." "Do you want a portrait? I'll make you one for a cool figure." It's mostly the vessels shoving art at Hornet until plushies come out.

Still as clumsy as ever.

Bug Fact: Although the term “bug” has a scientific meaning, its common usage refers to any variety of small arthropods (such as beetles, spiders, or centipedes).

A commission I got from @scribbleshanks :] One of my all-time favourite pieces I've ever gotten, they did my girl Lullaby such justice!! They look PHENOMENAL

Thank you so much for drawing my little guy again :D

ID start: A blackk and white sketch page of a Hollow Knight vessel OC, Lullaby. They're fluffy, with a short glowing firefly tail, soft features, a mane, and a rounded face with curved horns with two prongs. From left to right, top to bottom, the sketches are: a headshot of them looking to the right. Side view sketch with two speech bubbles coming from them. Lullaby taking a hand of somebody off-screen, they look troubled. A fullbody sketch of a training scene, they're brandishing their nail towards the camera, their cloak in their right hand waving with the motion of their body as they tore it off. Them kneeling down, exhausted and propped up on their nail, with their head hung low and sweating after the training, clouds of steam coming off them. Them as a baby on top of The Hollow Knight's head, reaching for their finger as it lifts its hand up to Lullaby. End ID.

Regarding the tags left on my previous post ↓

YES this is something I really wanted to explore actually :3 so I hope you don't mind me rambling

Transcript and rambling beneath the cut

[Swap AU Hollow]

- closed off at the start, cares a lot, wants to know what happened post-abyss

- much more timid and wary

- over time gets braver

- fights until the other party is weakened, dislikes having to kill but will if they must

- extends to lesser bugs

- Not really resentful towards Ghost, more so sad and confused

- post-game/recovery period is similar to normal Ghost

[Normal Ghost]

- closed off at the start, almost apathetic but not quite?

- over time they start to care more and more

- adventurous

- fights until the other party backs down (or dies)

- extends to lesser bugs

- some resentment towards Hollow early on that fades as they progress

- post-game/recovery period they start learning to express more and are given more opportunities to be a kid

[Swap AU Ghost]

- fatigued post-game but more curious and adventurous now that they're free

- struggles to express emotion

- takes up drawing post-game as an outlet

- quiet but more investigative, more social

- complicated feelings towards WL, leans towards some bitterness

- Radi(?) fed into said bitterness to break them

- LOTS of guilt about leaving Hollow

[Normal Hollow]

- mostly tired post-game, lots of guilt/self-hateed

- hesitant to express emotion

- takes up cooking post-game as an outlet

- timid and shy, prefers to fade into the background (very difficult)

- complicated feelings towards PK, still loves him while understanding he wasn't. the greatest

- radi fed into their love to break them

OKAY WOW, long transcript

I'm thinking a LOT about this AU now even though I mostly drew it as a joke when I first came up with it.

This gives me an opportunity to ramble about how I characterize the vessels! Even in my base-version of how I interpret them, I imagine when they were still in the abyss, Ghost was.. Generally the one who lead the two of them. Hollow usually just stuck by their side, being the more anxious of the two.

I imagine this is still the case in the Swap AU - So when Ghost is the one who makes it to the top, Hollow feels.. Betrayed, and confused. Why wouldn't their sibling, who they've depended on before now, help them?

Both I imagine are led on by their care for the other - Hearing them cry out in pain in the beginning cutscene. However, whereas normal Ghost at first treats the whole thing with a layer of resentment, Swap Hollow treats it more with.. Wanting to know why.

Meanwhile with the older siblings, I imagine Swap Ghost keeps some of those feelings of resentment - However, instead of at Hollow, it's more towards WL and themself for what she's done to their siblings, and they to Hollow. Post-game in the recovery period, they try to express more emotion, but struggle with it. They want to explore more once they're free! Both explore Hallownest, and explore the life they never got to live, whereas I imagine normal Hollow takes their recovery a lot slower and with more hesitance.

I'm still figuring this au out but, it's really fun exploring this stuff :D
