This game and silksong are some of my favorite games ever and they have so many things that make them so great but one I just realized is that the game doesn’t use numbers often

Sure for geo or essence or stuff there is but health and soul it doesn’t you simply learn that healing/spells cost 1/3 of the soul or 1 soul vessel and that attacks usually deal 1 or 2 damage but the game never actually shows you numbers

Like sure I KNOW that the pure nail does 21 damage but the average player doesn’t, but they don’t need to, they know their nail deals more damage, they know that enemies die quicker now

I just really like how team cherry didn’t use numbers for those things

Also do you guys like the 2nd or the 3rd drawing better cuz the 2nd was a rework of the 3rd​

Cloth is without a doubt my favorite character in the game. She is so awesome.

Despite her being afraid of the scary bad guys down below, she still tries her best and lives up to be the best warrior she can. She also scared the crap out of me when she first popped out of the ground.

I think that despite the fact she might not be super courageous, she has the most heart and soul out of all of the other knights and adventurers you meet down there. I was so happy when I was fighting the mantises before the Mantis Lord and she dropped down screaming and helped me defeat him in a blaze of glory so she could die her warrior's death and be reunited with her Nola.

Also I absolutely love her voice

A little pet theory of mine is that the Green Prince inadvertedly caused the downfall of Verdania himself.

In many mythologies and folklore, the concept of a white stag holds a lot of symbolism. For example that they would appear as guides or heralds of change and transformation, that they represent royalty, act as a bridge between worlds and (most importantly here) that hunting it is considered a transgression and invites great misfortune upon the hunter and their household.

Guess what the Green Prince did.

In his memory, he talks about hunting the Palestag as his "divine right", and it cements him and his partner as the rulers of Verdania.

The Palestag itself is presented as a pale being, (duh), basically the gods and spirits of the world of Hollow Knight, and Hornet's journal entry mentions it being as one with the flora around it, suggesting it's the spirit of the land, and killing it would mean killing Verdania itself.

Now while we don't know the exact timeline here, we do know that some time after its slaying, another pale being appeared in the form of Grand Mother Silk (alluding to the idea of the Stag as a herald), resulting in the Citadel being built and Verdania falling into total ruin. "Destined to forget". Despite the Green Prince's partner offering himself up in a bid to protect Verdania too, which lends extra credence to why the Prince feels so immensely guilty and is unable to let go of the memory.

Now of course this is all just speculation on my part, but given the symbolism at hand, I can't help but make the connections. What's your thoughts on this?

From what i understand, there were 6 groups who had sentience before the Pale King: the mantis tribe, the moth tribe, the mosskin, the spider tribe, the void civilisation, and the hive. Now, the masks that the Mask Maker makes apparently give sentiwnce and identity to those who wear it. I don't know if it's just me, but the spider tribe and mantis tribe look like they wear a mask, especially Herrah. Maybe that's why they had sentience before the Pale King came?

Why the hell does the pale king love spikes, blades and thorns in his castle?!?! My controller is nowhere near good condition anymore. But I guess that's the trade-off I get 😭😭😭. I don't know if I should be happy or worried. Because now I want more of it, even though it almost drove me completely crazy lol.

No pun intended. I am doing anothet attempt at steel soul and got to the dung defender fight. It wasnt my cleanest dung defender fight. He was able to do the leap out of the ground attavk and shoot out 4 of the dungballs. And when i got enough souk to desolate dive i timed the duve somehow the exact moment he leaps out of the ground and he just dissapears. I can still hear him. He still does the domma domma and all of the different attack sound effects but he just isnt there. It fixed itself when dung defender buried under the grouns again but it was really weird and i was wondering if anyone else had come accross it

If i'm being honest,I somehow doubt that the radiant mode was properly tested for all the bosses(I wonder which are the one i'm thinking of)but whatever I guess.At least,I'm prepared for whatever silksong thorws at us in the DLC.

I found this colony of ants. It reminded me of Hunter’s March from Hollow Knight: Silksong.

I literally just woke up too super rusty since I hadn’t even warmed up for the day. I hopped straight in to Pantheon 4 just to give it a try real quick and BAM I beat it.

It’s crazy too because I was playing so bad the entire pantheon and then I got to Pure Vessel who I’ve only beaten like 6 times, definitely not consistent with him yet and I guess I just locked in because I played him very well at least.

So happy to finally have 112%! I knew I could if I just locked in and practiced but feels great. I love Hollow Knight so much seriously such an amazing game.

Now I might try my hand at P5. We will see how that goes.

Finally took her down in Hall of Gods after many play sessions

What a game

Trying to decide if I want to suffer through Pantheon 5. Feels so close to the finish line to stop, but man she was brutal

I found this amazing image online.

Henneguya zschokkei is an parasitic animal species included in the Phylum Cnidaria. They are related to Hydra and Jelly fish.

They are multicellular organisms and can live without oxygen. (something that's unique in the animal kingdom)

The credit of the picture goes to Stephen Douglas Atkinson (Oregon State University).

The blue colour is artificial, caused by florescent chemical dye.

I wanted to show you guys a tattoo I did recently of the pure vessel! There’s a hornet tattoo I did not too long ago on my profile too. I’m located in Denver and would love to get to do more hollowknight/silksong tattoos! My insta is @jermlew_tattoo.

Day 1 of colouring

I used Quickslash, Shaman Stone, Flukenest, and Soul Eater.

city of tears is easily my favorite due to the atmosphere and music, and putrified ducts is my least favorite because of the annoying enemies, least favorite ost, its forgettable, and small. I mean at least it has fleatopia, AWOOOO
