#hollow knight the collector

[drboo-mcstuff]

POV: you found the perfect thing to put

in your collection

But like seriously I finished the WIP, and as per usual the grubs a fluffin’ adorable lol. I stand by the best thing I have ver made is a little grub figure and I will take to my grave!

Also here’s a version without the border and text, I think I prefer it with the border, but ya know, some people might not so there that is.

(Also I’m Just gonna tag @maxandhisdelusions because I loved their tags when they rebloged the Wip, the grubbies just reminded me of windette and I’ll untag them should they wish it just looked like they liked them. :)

I love just laughing like the collector. Brings me joy and whimsy.l

1 am and I’m fucking sobbing over the collector and its potential lover I’m so fucking sad

And based off the collectors manic dreamnail dialogue I think it went crazy because of the loss of its partner. That is so fucking sad oh my god

[punkgears]

dude lets talk about the collector.

gonna use it/its pronouns just in case cause the hunters journal never mentions SHIT about the collecters pronouns. even the hunter is like "wtf is that thing".

i think a lot of what the hollow knight fandom misses is that (at least i think) the collecter was painted by team cherry as actually insane. it is locked inside a padded tower that sits the edges of the kingdom with a key located in an inaccessible area unless you can SWIM IN ACID. now i dont mean this in a derogatory way at all /gen i love the collector and its devotion to the protection of the grubs, but that plus the fact the collector laughs before and during the boss fight and even while you BEAT IT TO DEATH points to either TPK or hallownest as a whole thinking it is insane and needs to be locked up. the fandom portrays it as a silly funny goofy guy which i totally believe and partake in but what if thats not what team cherry meant? you know what im saying?????? and its battle theme is distorted and out of tune, mind you

and on top of that (and maybe i missed this and everyone already knows this) but im 99% sure that the collector was one of TPKs failed attempts at making a kingsmould. TPKs whole point of utilizing the void was because it was supposed to lack any emotion/voice/capability to think, right? but that obviously ended up a disaster as void is very much capable of thinking and feeling, so my idea is that the collector was made as a prototype kingsmould but was tossed out/locked up because it can think/feel and,,, you know, see paragraph 1.

i mean tell me there is not some kind of connection here??

idk let me know if this has already been established or not but- ashgfhjk

Hollow knight bosses 13-16 I think the collector and dung defender are pretty strong pieces (even though I forgot his bush) with fairly good backgrounds while elder hu is probably close to the weakest yet

Part 2 of my Hollow Knight gijinka thing!!

Had a lot of fun with these ones. An idea I had for the more “animalistic” enemies in HK was to have them be conglomerations of discarded masks and corpses, the designs of which I took a lot of inspiration from the demons in Ultrakill.

I also had both the Grimm Troupe masks, and void related entities have a more ‘skeleton’ theming, it really makes the Troupe feel like more of a cult.

[artificerstimetable]

I'm the one who loves the collector the most. The Collector is me. I am it. If anyone says otherwise. They are wrong .

[thecollectorsblueboobs]

Look at these blorbos that my bestie @burnt-out-jet drew for me a while ago I actually can’t get over them especially hk collector peeking its head over dead cells collectors hood😭
