which table you sitting at?

Sharing this here too

I do not usually make posts like this but recently I have seen a lot of content on Instagram, Twitter and I think tiktok too misunderstanding the meaning of intrusive thoughts, which may cause people experiencing them to be upset.

I have tried to shortly explain the difference of impulsive and intrusive and hope it will help people to understand and use the words correctly.

Reblogs are very much appreciated!

Crack idea: Leif is terrified of those machines we use to make fungi play music. He sees one discarded on the ground in the Giants' Lair and every one of his Mycelia lights up with the "Fight or Flight" instinct.

Leif: we refuse tto learn how to play music in any way shape or form you cant make us

HOLY SHIT THIS LOOKS AMAZING

With the agender flag?

idk if i've said it before, but another aspect about Hollow Knight's lore that compels me is that its a tragedy, but it's told through the story of the victims. The Pale King is a sterotypically tragic character in that the road to his damnation was paved by his own love, hubris, and damnation, but we don't deal with that downfall directly, and the game offers no sympathy for his situation. Instead, the characters who drive the story are the ones who would normally be the silent casualties accompying the downfall, or the victims of the protagonist's fatal flaw. We're given a story where for once, the focus is not set on the agony of the main character, but of the lives of the people he hurt, and we are privy to that pain and anger and sadness that was inflicted on the voiceless victims. We see the story unfold from their perspective, we watch them deal with the aftermath. And while they were discarded by the main plot of the tragedy of Hallownest after it was all over and done with (that being the fall), their pain isn't depicted as any lesser just because they were forced to be silent. Obviously they too are tragic characters, but they were forced into such circumstances because of their father's hubris and inability to concede defeat, and we see the refuge of his actions change the whole world despite it all, specifically because they loved their sibling too much to let them go.

Idk. It just hits different when you read it from that perspective, especially since it really drives home the fact that no matter how much the Pale King regretted his fall from grace, his emotions meant nothing because it still lead to his children suffering when they didn't deserve it. Hollow Knight is a story about the shadows of what many others would consider to be the main characters, and I love it for that

(Radi might also be a tragic character, as someone who was betrayed by her own people and then came back a monster when trying to chase her own glory, but we don't know enough about her side of the tale to say for sure, but I can say for certain that she makes a terrifyingly good antagonist)

Love wins

You know, there’s one thing about this line that makes me wonder…

What if the spell on Monomon’s mask made it so that hunger and exhaustion wouldn’t affect Quirrel as much as a normal bug would?

I haven’t really seen anyone mention this, but it’s a pretty interesting to think about for me.

Remember when Quirrel returned the mask to Monomon and effectively released the spell as well, he instantly collapsed on his knees? What if that was the exhaustion the spell was keeping at bay catching up to him?

Not only that but based on the canon things we’ve seen in game and in the Quirrel comic, if Quirrel didn’t eat anything behind the scene, the last time Quirrel ate would be his meeting with Boon….. which was before his encounter with Hornet.

So in his entire time in Hallownest, he didn’t eat anything for a veeeeery long time.

After the mask was returned, Quirrel would need to relearn and readjust himself back to eating and sleeping regularly like a normal bug. Which would be hellish for the first few days, if not weeks or months even.

Even though a spell that’ll lessen the effect of hunger and exhaustion on a bug sounds good on paper, and Monomon or someone else probably did this with good intentions, the after effects of the spell being broken and the rehabilitation needed to soothe those suck.

But hey!! At least in this case Ghost and Hollow won’t be alone in trying to eat and sleep regularly like a normal bug should!!!
