The Reluctant Victor, Inspired By The Reluctant Bride By Auguste Toulmouche - I Just Thought That This

doesn’t exaaaactly fit them, but here.

usually the headcanon is that the knight is the youngest sibling because they’re short. and to that i say, NO. it’s actually the opposite. the knight gives so much older/oldest sibling vibes.

the hollow knight can’t seal the radiance? the knight just goes, “fine, i’ll do it myself.” or “ok i’ll slice god up and then slap her in the face for my siblings”. they’re the older sibling, it makes perfect sense.

or, better yet, in the godhome ending, they become an eldritch being, uniting all the void??? oh yeah they’re just in their emo phase. the first sibling’s always a little weird.

explore the characters that were underutilised in canon (either that or they DIE too early)

worldbuild as the author, carving the tiniest of additional details and headcanons into the existing universe

learn about and use different creative writing techniques in an environment where there is no expectation for your work to be perfectly polished

reasons to write fanfiction (I'll start):

share a cool scene that popped into your head

evoke a particular emotion the canon makes you feel

song made you think of a character or idea from canon

make people feel the same way about a character you do

make dolls kiss for fun

explore ideas the canon hints at but doesn't do anything with

traumatize characters and make them suffer

coddle characters and let them rest

had an insane idea for a crack ship and now everyone needs to know

the author of the canon was wrong and must be fixed

use familiar characters to explore your own ideas and plotlines

canon is too short and you need to wallow in the universe of the story

ive been working on a PNF alice in wonderland AU. Some of my fav designs that ive done for it

oh my, i’m on the once-ler site, just ten years late. here’s a bad drawing

drew over something i wrote for a class and liked :] sorry the cars are lowkey ugly, its because I fucking hate cars and cant be bothered to learn what they look like beyond ominous hunks of metal

6 Tips for Crossing the Road

Look both ways

The road is for cars. 

Make sure to look for them before crossing. Even when you have the right of way, cars have a lot of safety features and you have none. 

Use designated crosswalks 

The road is for cars. 

So is the crosswalk but, under brief and temporary conditions, you can use it too! Never jaywalk, never walk in the road, just hope there is a clear and functional sidewalk. 

Cross at the light

The road is for cars. 

There are rules and signs for them, but that can only go so far. Walk quickly and hold your breath and hope that the light doesn't turn. Make eye contact with drivers as their cars teem with potential energy, rumbling with disdain at the inconvenience of your crossing. Try to ignore the cloud of exhaust that you are in and they are above. 

Leash your pets

The road is for cars. 

Obviously. 

To you, it may be natural to sacrifice so much space to them but to your dog, it is not. His instinct is to explore freely. You must curb it. Modern US car models have such high hoods that the average child, let alone dog, is obscured. Even on the sidewalk, hold the leash tight because the sidewalk (if you are so blessed) is next to the street and the threat still looms.

Look out for road kill

The road is for cars. 

And no one was there to leash the deer. 

Or the raccoon. 

Or the cat. 

Did you know that the most reliable sample method for wildlife in an area is looking at the roadkill? 

Remember these tips

The road is for cars. 

Cars are everywhere. In the city. In the suburbs. In the country. In the woods (the US Forest Service manages more roads than the entire Ministry of Transit in China.) Cars are everywhere because there are roads to bring them there, which is great if you are a car and want to get from place to place fast without worrying about the in-between. 

Unfortunately, you are not a car. 

You are an animal. 

You are in-between. 

So remember to look both ways.
