#thanks for leaving this

[wishfulsketching]

I know you’re probably super busy but I HAVE to share this with someone. I found this absolutely insane shirt at my job (thrift store) and it’s been killing me to imagine Silco in it

You can't drop something like this to my askbox and not expect me to draw something

Moms usually drop the kids off to their playdate, time for the dads to meet.

LINKTOBER DAY 22, SEABED INN

Nothing like ending the adventure with a weird dream and manifesting a new spooky ring! Link’s too tired to wake Zelda for this one.

(That zora is a strange one, choosing to live near the sky. Have you heard? Rumors have it she even took one of the last zonai as a student.

I heard she taught it healing arts!

I heard she let it near the Sky Princess.

Oh no!

Didn’t she know the Zonai are cursed? Nothing ever goes right with their magic. That’s why they were taken by the malice.)

Interested in more of this au? Check out this masterpost (it all started when Zelda didn’t time travel back in time)

You say you're tryin' to build a transuniversal polydimensional metavortex? Well that's mathematically feasible, I reckon! :D

I'm back in the Tigers cage again.

very straightforward redraw because this quest and this whole scene have been ON my mind.

I bet Silco could reach Vander inside Warwick. I bet Silco would trust to remember him ad not fight back.

In my restless dreams, Silco and Vander!Warwick got to meet

In this scenario Silco would have to survive being shot and would go into hiding aka go back to their little hideout. He did not see this one coming, though

Final Bug Fact:

The world NEEDS bugs. They keep the soil healthy, pollinate, control pests, and contribute to the worlds' ecosystem. By the end of the century, it is estimated 40% of insect species may go extinct due to habitat loss. Yes, that is very scary. But with even one beetle spared, one caterpillar rescued, and one Hollow Knight comic of all things, things will change. Because I know there's a lot more Dewi's out there than most people realize. Stay curious.

Thanks for going on this adventure with me. ♥︎

Comic Thoughts and Pictures Below!

I wanted to put here how amazing and sweet everyone has been with this comic. I finished a 75 page comic in 3 MONTHS. I am at a loss for words. That sounds crazy and it IS crazy. But man was it fun. Even on days were I wasn't able to draw due to fatigue or business, I loved working on it from start to finish. And guess what!? This is my first ever FINISHED comic :D I'm so proud of myself. I know there's some things I want to change and the art is wonky in most places...... but I'm content to let it be. What an amazing summer adventure!

I'm hoping to post the full comic on another Comic website. I may or may not edit some of the art ^w^ So I'll let y'all know when I release it.

Interested in learning what you could do to help your local insects? This is the basic stuff. Maybe make some Insect Hotels if you have the time!!! And never forget to spread the word about bugs. They need our help just as any animal on earth.

Still Here? Well you can look in the tags for little lore dumps if ur looking for stuff like that ;)

From this Hollywood Reporter interview.

[cryptic-underground]

Yay somebody else who hates The monk! Seriously though the way he treated Wukong was fucked up and didn’t feel super Buddhist. It’s like hitting a child whenever they disobey instead of actually teaching them what’s wrong. Sure they’ll probably stop doing that thing but they’ll do it out of fear not understanding ( plus trauma!)

Yes!! I hate him so much omg

I totally agree with you! Though also, apparently, based on the little I've looked up— so not an expert—alot of the Buddhist teachings are based around suffering. So it falls quite closely with it.

Screenshots of what I read:

(Feel free to take your own perusal)

So, with that in mind, it kinda puts the cruelty of Wukong in a different perspective on why it may have been done that way that it did. However, that being said, I still don't agree with the monk's actions.

Whether Wukong ended up becoming enlightened in the process or not is not the crux of the problem it, at least not where i see it being. It's how Xuanzang went about it. Wukong behavior was not right, but the monk's way of trying to guide him was the wrong way about it. Anytime Sun Wukong was too much to handle or disobeyed, the two solutions were either the sutra or to disown him. Never to explain why what he did was wrong or how he could've gone about it better. It was always: "You should've done it the right way the first time." And Xuanzang wasn't actually sort of hypocritical towards his own teachings as well, which is baffling to me! He always scolds Wukong for not listening to him or the rules he put in place(which are fleemzy at best and a constructual hazard at worse) WHEN HE LITERALLY NEVER LISTENS TO WUKONG'S WARNINGS EVER!!

Okay, so, besides being bald boy's personal errands boy and punching bag. Wukong is tasked with finding the monk food, water, place to sleep, and y'know just ensuring he doesn't kill over and DEAD. The rest of the discipline don't do much in the books from what I know besides be funny or cause problems (pigsy-). And even with all that, even with knowing that countless times before that demons want to literally eat him as though he's a five course meal for magic, the monk never listens to Wukong when he says something is dangerous MOST OF THE TIME! AT LEAST 90% OF THE TIME.

Granted, a lot of it is because of stupid jttw pigsy being a dumb slab of meat, and sure Wukong's not the base at defending his judgments in some cases. But c'mon, after the first couple times of wukong consistently being right and pigsy being a dumb as you'd think this pumpkin in a robe would get some thinking in his skull.

Also, what infuriates me even more is that this so-called monk put the circlet on him without asking if theirs a way to take it off. I get that they didn't want an escape plan for Wukong and that he was the main source keeping Xuanzang alive, but c'mon. It's more than a little dumb to just take one of the most painful items in existence, then use it on someone while not fully understanding said item.

One of the virtues of Buddhism is that violence isn't allowed in any form. But apparently, if it's not done by your own hands, it's free game. It's the same issue with saying batman does kill but then have him basically do things that basically murder lite mode.

I might've gone off the rails, sorry. To put it simply, monk man icky would tie him to railway tracks.
