Its just… abyss escape sequence
lava plume go brrrrr
Also apparently void is like the core of the HK planet
motted skarr, gurr and who else?
oh, so motted skarrs are treated differently, i still have one question, other than merchant one who are other ones, i haven't seen them
Or at least deeper than the earth crust
The guy in the target room above the far fields bellway
Another one shows up in far fields target practice room if you hit all targets with a curve claw
oh yeah that guy
There's also Gurr the Outcast, an Act 3 Quest Boss
Which was already mentioned
Why do u think herrah let the white lady raise hornet when she used to be hostile to the pale king and co
can you show picture?
Herrah was sealed before it happens
yeah I just noticed sorry
she was eepy
And she probably let White Lady and The Hive do it after seeing how weavers treat her kid like shit
the weaver racism in red memory goes crazy
Aside from Gurr, the other two motted skarrs don't attack Hornet which I think is very interesting
Also it's clear that Gurr actually has some intelligence, unlike every other Skarr we see
"show us you are more weaver than wyrm"
The fly racism in hunter journal goes crazy too tbh
I didnt understand the origin of the weavers, what was tyhat
Yea whyd she let her raise hornet while shes sleeping i kinda thought shed let other weavers raise her instead
The three of them can be easily assumed to be non-haunted.
Since they used to be very hostile
Weavers were pharlids, a primitive spider race
GMS evolved them into a race of near inmortality and silk magic and all female
wait what
GMS used her Soul infused Silk to evolve the Pharlid enemies, granting them sapience and magic powers
Yeah which is interesting though because all of them are motted
honestly why would you evolve pharlid theyre annoying little shits
Its deeper than magma layer
i wouldve evolved like nosk or some shit if i was gms
What was Even the objectives of GMS, why was she trying to control everyone?
Yeah she should have gone to Hallownest and evolved primal aspids 
The weavers were trying to turn hornet into their revenge machine, while Herrah, Vespa and WL (no clue about PK guy was busy ig) wanted Hornet to pursue her own goals
meanwhile nosk is cool and deserves to be evolved
They are primitive animals, which make it easy for GMS to manipulate after their evolution is what i think
I think cause they were the only natrual spiders in Pharloom other than like their cousin speices so GMS just used what was most compatible with her powers
GMS would have LOVED deepnest
yeah but it makes so much sense lmao
evolved devouts 💀
Imagine devout use clawline on the knight
They already sentient
Withered foxy jumpscare
Yeah but they can't make their own silk
Good point
i think GMS objective was like keeping Lace alive
also they arent sapient
According to notes i mean
its highly implied gms made pharlids sapient
Bestiary*
Hey what if the king brand was the pale king’s crest?
The stalking devout hitting you with a Sharpdart after you try to run away
when she evolved them
Theres a whole cutscene for it
They are. They worship Herrah.
I saw that theory and ehhhhhhhhh
thread storm stalking devout
The average citizen does appear to have worshipped the Pale King as a god, an example being the King's Idols, like you said, but also various statues and shrines depicting him. My point is that aside of the Hunter's comment, I don't recall ever seeing any worshipping bug mention anything to the effect of believing he created the whole world.
Monomon's dialogue doesn't outright contradict this as far as I know, but the Elegy of Hallownest indicates she's aware that they existed before the Pale King arrived, and so he's not their creator. I don't think she's stating that only he's capable of granting sapience, more so that he was the only one that ended up being able to do it. At least, that's how interpreted it. Not that I believe anyone else attempted it besides him though. The Elegy also doesn't mention creation, which given the theme of the piece I'd assume she'd have included if she believed it.
Whether or not the citizens believed he created the tunnels of Hallownest, I'm guessing in his Wyrm form, I'm also not sure. Perhaps this is what the Hunter is implying with this world, like you said? I could see some bugs that know about the Pale King's Wyrm form believing this, but I don't know to what extent most even know he had a Wyrm form in the first place
If it’s true the knight totally hoed hornet out of the best crest
Oh no HK lore in my silksong
What the hell happend to deep nest last weaver
Oh yea from the red memory. Herrah is agreeable than the other weavers at least
Hornet? She lived
yeah i am curious what happened to the weavers who left hallownest
Doesn't really make any sense at all because the crest kind sticks with you till you die
You are the crest essentially
Thats a terrible joke, mb
we dont know what happened really
bc the weavers we find in game definitely dont seem like the ones that left hallownest
considering they explicitly say they remained
I think the whole bilewater isnt silked
maybe the weavers who left got captured by gms
Hornet is said to be the last of their line by the citadel, who have some method of finding weavers.
and bound
Bilewarer according to bestiary might be just agressive towards us
my theory is that they were immediately murdered by Lace on arrival
Place so ass not even GMS would touch it
Silk radar and weaver genetic gps
Groal looks like soul master, whys that
Weavers aren't that weak lol
She did touch it, her citadel’s the reason it’s not Clearwater
Its obviously silk whos pulling the string
Literally
They look nothing alike
They both use Soul and inflated because of it.
Does Eva have a body i wonder
both bloated by overuse of Soul
They’re both FAT
She didn't make the citadel
neither is Lace?
I don't think lace can get out of pharloom
You expect them to lose a 7v1? Or however many were in red memory cutscene
I thought she was responsible for the exhaust organ and that’s why phantom’s guarding it
Who knows, maybe the weavers faced a high hall gauntlet x 10
Imagine 20 choir clappers clapping your ass
Weavers built the citadel
The widow is basically body horror
Broke: King's Brand is a Wyrm Crest
Woke: Soul Warrior is using a crest—he got his skills by consuming the soul of other bugs, crests are described as "imprint upon their soul", and he is suffering from amnesia, tying into Mask Maker's dialogue about crests (Which he calls masks) erasing your previous identity
Any questions? No? Good
same reason why Respawning in HK isn't canon, it doesn't happen, if you die you die, it's steel soul rules in reality
Then why’s phantom guarding the joint?
there were way less by the time they left Weaver's Nest because most of them fell to the Radiance, however of the few that did make it back I suspect they were picked off one by one rather than her trying to solo them
Phantom and exhaust organ hasnt been mentioned much yeah
He probably was using a crest, that’s a good point. He’s got the shaman crest
Idk, someone put her there. Maybe Weavers didn't like her
Soul Warrior has the best dream nail dialogue and you can't convince me otherwise.
not much to say, most interesting thing about Phantom imo is that they only put their mask on to fight
phantom is basically guarding the back door
you're the type of person to say the menu screen isn't canon to the worlds of video games.
I wonder did phantom come before or after the haunting begins
Ghost shades and Cacoons aint cannon
Doesn't change the facts
They'd be traveling together so I doubt that Lace would be able to pick them off. Also source on most of them falling to infection?
It was my understanding that GMS created Phantom and Lace after she took back control, because she was pissed the weavers weren’t loyal. The weavers built the citadel, but maybe GMS expanded it
Shades ARE canon
If not then Jiji wouldn’t exist
and technically they aren't, menu screens have no bearing on the lore it's part of the game itself
I though Steel soul was the canon
how does this relate to the fact soul warrior can summon infinite follies
Jiji doesn't normally summon shades she literally says so herself
he does
Why can Ghost revive and not the other vessels then?
shades are canon, but you don't revive and retrieve it, that's just you now, you're like the siblings in the abyss
he actually doesnt have a cap on the amount of follies he spawns
They can't. Dying isn't canon
its kinda crazy lol
It can't, it's a game mechanic
all the Little Weavers we see in Deepnest are visibly infected, and they wouldn't be together every moment of the day she just has to ambush them while they're on their own, and presumably once reaching Pharloom they wouldn't all be headed for the same place in Pharloom so they'd probably split up not long after entering the Citadel
Why is ghost so much stronger than their sibs, are they just built better?
In lore they just appear because its in the soul sanctum though
so you're saying hornet doesn't go through the menu screen whenever she wakes up from randomly blacking out because the player closed the game at one point?
Probs all the abilities throughout the game plus getting VH
but is lore fun when you dont talk about gameplay oversights
Which little weavers? The enemies? Are they even called weavers?
yes
Little Weavers
their literal name in the Hunter's Journal is "Little Weavers"
That's their name
and whats wild about them is they call herrah family in dream nail dialog
So caccoons arent canon too, right?
Not sure what you're arguing here, gameplay mechanics exist so you can play the game but it has no bearing on the story of said game
its apparently just copy pasted deepnest dream nail dialog tho
I don't think little weavers are canon anymore 
Well that's. Physically impossible and causes quite some issues ty Team Cherry
Its also not true
they could be a “lesser” version idk
It's the same as devouts
Well aside from tidbit of game mechanic canonicity it really doesn’t impact the story as much
^
little weavers are pharli- oh wait...
There are no lesser versions, they are never mentioned
Though characters involved with reviving always die in steel soul
In Silksong, I mean
Non canon stuff:
Knight Deaths.
Hornet Deaths.
pretty sure they just interbreeded with Devouts/deephunters, hence why Deepnest Weavers with the exception of Herrah are so much less anthropomorphic than their Pharloom counterparts
Respawning exists purely because it would blow to always have to restart the game over small mistakes, and yes steel soul exists but you attempt that when you have a better understanding of the game
very well could be not worth talking about in the grand scheme of things, not powerful enough to have any sawy
Except that breeding is extremely hard for Weavers
Weavers are all female?
Yes
Yes
yes
Why tho
GMS wanted daughters, not sons
TC is sexist
yes
that’s what meemaw wanted ig
extremely hard not impossible, and the Spiders of Beasts Den would be just about their closest genetic partner
Little Weavers are weavers i't just a question of how much
GMS is likely controlling and doesn’t want her children to have children
TC made the genetically evil race of spiders all women, what did they mean by this?
Antigrandma behaviour
So she severely restricts them
GMS is a big fan of caste systems, little weavers could be a designed lesser caste that is dead in Pharloom
be women commit crimes
|| How the hell is lace Even alive at the true end, GMS dies, how is lace still there ||
Massive silksong ending spoil
No they would not Pharlids are literally so far away from beast den spiders
Also extremely hard means it wouldn't be close to enough for how many we see in the game
I don't remember deepnest weavers being less antropomorphic than pharloom weavers?
I mean Laces existence is her own and not tied to GMS
the one you see in Weavernest is just shorter iirc
Little weavers are specifically the children of the weavers who fled to Hallownest, they have nothing to do with Pharloom
well they are I dunno what to say lol, compare First Sinner to any Deepnest Weaver but Herrah
She will need Hornets silk to sustain ig
Wouldnt weavers give birth to pharlids tho
Same logic for why hornet has it, she's the progeny of a HB not a creation
they're both spiders, and again they're closer to each other than literally anything else, as for the number of little weavers, first of all literally all of them in Deepnest would be attacking you since Radiance is aggro to the vessels, and second of all enemies respawn infinitely that is clearly a gameplay mechanic and not reflective of the lore, Little Weavers are a rare encounter to get which is more reflective of the lore around them
is there a canonical hollow knight lore reason freshman at my university need to take a bus for one stop instead of walking 5 minutes
Journal entry for one of the rich bugs in city of tears
they're pledging their worship to the Higher Being of busses
Truck-kun
sea lion wrapped articulating bus
Bros got the ability to transport people's souls to other dimensions def a HB
I'm only half joking, there's an argument for this
i need beastlings call irl
Wait
To have your own beastlings?
First Sinner is not more antropomorphic. She's just taller and has a different dress
Is the unnamed Town the actual surface or is it still underground
to get to classes faster
that would also be a good reason
First sinner is the same as other weavers we see in Pharloom
Guys,
What exactly is Eva?
where is the right image from? i've seen it before but its the only example I can think of where a Deepnest Weaver looks like that, in every other instance they scuttle on all floors
A weaver with a construct body iirc
Failed attempt at creating a higher being
This is the weaver that appears in HK when leaving the weaver's den
The only weaver "adult" we see alive in weaverden but I think it's a teenager at ths point
*this
Weaver on hk looks really Bad compared to SS one
I wonder how would eva react if i od on lifeblood in her chamber
Die probably
Not before, right inside her chamber
test that
Lifeblood doesnt purposely try to infect places, it just grows and whoever comes in contact mutated just like zango
We need more info on what makes wormways Lifeblood different than hallownest Lifeblood, Different strain? Zxoytl's expriments? we don't know
there is a cut gif in the game files of that right Weaver moving on all floors, as well we see every other Deepnest Weaver move on all floors, thats the single time we ever see one stand upright
The alchemist experimentation probably
possible, but like I said, we don't have enough info
That guy and his assistant injected lifeblood WVERYWHERE
Tru
like in the cut gif it transitions from that standing pose to scuttling on all floors
Sadly we didnt get to SEE lifeblood god
Thats why wormways become a nest of lifeblood infestation
Hubris of bug
we can see it in Godhome good enough
morphology differs greatly within species, look at the snail shamans
We can if we get an elegy of the deep section of wormways
Scuttling (moving on all six legs), is an ability weavers have. Widow and First Sinner both perform it in their fights
Tbf lifeblood didnt really make zango agressive
He just was throwing lifeblood everywhwre randomly
Elegy of the deep is memory not dream
The HK Weaver also does it when fleeing from the Knight, is not a cut animation
but its never depicted as their go-to method of movement is it? I could be wrong but like dont they normally walk on all floors?
Memory is def dream adjacent
or no, not on all floors, you know what I mean
At least in terms of how it works in SS not necessarily memories themselves
Is the alchemist dead
It is specified to enliven memories not dreams
essence in HK is condensed memory basically
Memory is pretty tangibly related to dreams in some capacity
I am going to go rewatch the fights to check
how much I can't say
Unless a connection is made memories and dreams are not connected in silksong
Memory on SS is Not The dream realm, but its connected
^
I appreciate the commitment!!! :D
Both things bring back past events or states of a thing-person
Idk about FS but Widow definantly scuttles
So yeah something has to have been there for the elegy to work its memory magic
Hence no lifeblood god through elegy in wormways
Dream realm = Brings Past versions of someone or Boost them up.
Memory Realm = Brings back past events based on the person livings or available memory
Something could appear in a dlc to cause such a thing to be possible though
Like the original seed embedded holding a memory idk
Realmente
Realmente, my favourite
Yeah then we would need an entire lifeblood spire (cut content apparently)
While Memory Realm is limited to the person available memory in the moment
Dream real is able to bring stuff the person doesnt fully remember
Cut (for now)
For Example That Guard knowing the whole path of pain
Memory Realm is Js Downgraded Dream realm
who's to say he isn't one of the ones at the end
Oh right-
Still pretty weird Even DEAD his memorys are there
True
Both First Sinner and Widow exclusively get around by scuttling in their fights.
I think we getting a lifeblood and expanded memory dlc
hopefully
i've noticed that first sinner and widow both pretend to lose and then get stronger
We might fight a memory version of shakra Master or Groal in his Best moments before the pollution
Whatever happens, I hope Sharpe is there in the first dlc
Btw guys
Did karmelita die after the memory fight?
what if we fought sherma
very fascinating!!!! perhaps I was wrong then, though I would note that all of the dead Deepnest Weavers seem to have the same shorter statue and less defined upright posture as the living one does
mhm
pre-pollution Groal would be weaker because no soul usage.
We rip their heart out by beating their memory fight
Hornet just murdered a innocent old woman sleeping
Fair enough
better example, she murdered an innocent gay man and then mounted his heart on her wall as a trophy
Tbf he prob better like that
Jokes on you I mounted a different heart on my wall
He now is together forever with his lover
agreed but the point still stands
Lover which we Will probably never see
didnt even know you could do that lmao, makes sense tho
did karrmelita really need to fight hornet for hornet to get her heart?
Dream Karrmelita wouldnt know shes a dream
She does
ig
so she is just fighting her like she would anyone
the younger version of her we fight in the dream world is aware shes a dream?
Hornet accidentally lobotomizes a random guy who was js trying to protect a temple thing
GP's heart replaces whoever's you didn't get yet when you turn them in but if you turn them in when you have all 4 it defaults to conjoined heart as your momento so you have to obtain 3 and turn them in and then do the one you want to keep it as your momento
Seth is fine though
I guess
ahhhhh gotcha, so you have to get three including the Conjoined Heart, then do red memory before getting the last heart to mount it? makes sense
Her dying msg when you get the heart seems to imply it
Yuh
Why did the shamans die when doing the ritual
I accidentally did that for Nyleth, that's how I learned of it
Also why did the shamans hide their looks
poor tipp and pill trying to manage their courier things while hearing a recording of a gruesome surgery and a beating heart coming from hornet’s open bellhome door
I got Conjoined, Karma, encrusted, Nyleths icon disappeared, I turned them in, later found out I missed a boss and was initially wondering why Seth was optional until I realized later my actions MADE it optional
I had read that as being modern day Karmelita's last words, I can see that interpetation though
Cause they have vanity issue 😔
well, last thoughts not last words
idk if I'll ever get Karmalita's heart as a momento though feels distasteful considering Hornet literally says it's for a greater good unlike the others where Khan is dead, GP is depressed and idk what you'd call Nyleth but it's not alive
she's reminicing
Hornet doesn't even have an excuse shes just like "ayo bitch I want your heart gimmie" 💀
Maybe it's my copium but I think they're just hibernating
if you go for it after doing red memory I mean, saw it on the wiki
I wonder where is Herald heading this time
she does say she needs her heart and that it's for a greater cause so she needs Karmalita to reminisce and Karmalita says try if you can
oh, wild
Crazy
But if u alr did the mission then u just lying and stealing her heart for nothing lmao
" Great one, I come not to see you as you are, rather I would know you as were, before the pale monarch, when once your heart beat bright and brave." is her entire commentary on the subject after having gotten the Everbloom
That's why I don't get it for my momento
Anything but showing wyrm alive
feels wrong
Did they REALLY get extinct?
seems so yeah, multiple people say so
I doubt the entire species is extinct, there likely exists like at least one somewhere but I doubt it's still a giant wyrm
No one knows about Radiance and thats funny because it means she def won't come back
Like pharlooms has no idea of her
Probably metamorphsized into something
I think she definitely wont come back more so because she got ripped into a billion tiny pieces
Well, SoV follows DNM or ETV
In Both endings she's dead as fuck
Radiance never died until the knight killed her
maybe when she was whole
The void consumed her
But we killed her
no, its just that she dies if no one remembers her, not that she can come back from anything as long as someone does
Hornet should certainly still remember her
HB are immortal by age but are killable, albeit very difficult
But she still dead
Hornet doesnt know Radiance exists
She just knows infection
she had no physical form so being forgotten would have erased her existence but she could still die from being killed which she was
she knows the "heart of the infection" is sealed within THK, she knows it comes from a Higher source if nothing else
I forgor godseeker is fucking dead
Yeah but doesn't know of the radiance specifically
At first i though the flower tp him into another place but looks like it just vaporized him
"she could still die from being killed which she was" 🔥 🖊️
The flower straight up vaporized godseeker
And she says even gods can fall from her experience. She knows what's up
things get complicated when a being is immortal but not true immortal
indeed
Just say ageless and hard to kill
I just thought the phrasing was funny X3
that works ig
"people die when they're killed..."
it is
Canon ending is ETV without Flower
Revolutionary information
its a quote from a shitty anime dub lmao
Flower ending SL gets vaporized aswell
"Lacenet" as a ship is vastly, vastly inferior to Hornet x Shakra.
in other news, the leading cause of murder is the victim not being alive anymore
Yeah, I realised it when I typed it but didn't know how else to phrase it because she can't die of old age but can be killed
Also the fact the flower is still intact on ss
Like Hornet imitates Shakra when she equips the Throwing Ring.
yeah sorry for harping on it I wasnt tryna make fun of you or anything promise!!!!!! just made me giggle
So yea, ETVWF is the canon ending i pressume
Hornet is consistently called old and Lace consistently a child, so no thank you
Shakra likes and respects Hornet.
Nah it's all good it is funny
She is called a child because she is inmature
Hornet as well respects Shakra's skill and strength
No
she's literally described as created as a child in body and mind
"Look of a child and a mind to match"
Oh aight
yeah which is why shipping her with someone as mature as hornet is a bit...... ehhhhh.......
I mean I personally believe dnm because there are only flashes of the shade lord and the knight isn't fully the shade lord, making me think the potential is there but never reached
You forgot the best reason
They can both POSHONKA
Poshanka!
Poshanka!
poshanka 🔥🔥
i did not forget
Always bet on Hornet X Quirrel
I interpreted it as both being possible since TC likes keeping things open ended, and SL is also DNM TK with focus so you could also see it as flashes of focus
Even though quirrel is fucking dead
I think modern day Hornet might honestly just be aro based on the Great Conchflies hunter's notes
No Corpus Delecti
i was curious how many times
was said... oh my
I don't think she's aro or ace i think she's just Nhilistic and likely only consider it again if she found a partner who can match her lifespan
Hornet is Hornetsexual
No body no proof/j
hornet seems like shed be bi to me
Yeah she doesn't want to keep outliving partners
Hornet seems pan to me, I don't think she'd care
yeah thats what I meant in so many words, she's aro as a result of having been traumatized by loosing partners to mortal lifespan before
All her brothers were agender aromantic, it runs in the family /j
solution: clone
Hornet X Hornet
she needs to find a cool HB that isn't an asshole
The humble Unn:
Trueee
Sherma is Hornet Son proove me wrong
Silksong DLC story is Hornet trying to find a way to make Shakra immortal.
Unn cant like, talk tho
you cant really have a relationship with Unn

Unn is a deity lmao
This is acceptable
haunting is an option
Well who said
Hornet lace shakra polycule will be real, it has to be
Hornet can like read her mind with the needolin
She calls to the mosskin telepathically
Unn could totally talk
Hornet x Alchemist /j
Unn is just Eepy
f off with """"Lacenet""""" alreadty.
Maybe after waking up from her nap she talks
City of Steel DLC because you went exploring there with Shakra, it will end with her becoming a free-willed Steel being fr fr trust 💯
Just cause you said so or?
Didnt unn wake up for like 3 seconds to give us an amulet
i think we're forgetting we're shipping a relatively small creature with a massive slug
she did, but she went back to sleep
Unn is a girl....?
Yes. And because it sucks.
I though unn was agender aswell
I mean, WL did it
And? It could work
Just because you said so, got it
Though Wyrms original form was bigger
Way bigger
pretty sure she's referred to as a mother by mosskin but could be misremembering
What was White Queen supossed to be, a tree?
Aside from Shakra, I think Second Sentinel would make for a fairly compelling partner for Hornet.
Hornet is called old several times and for all intents and purposes she is very old, while lace is literally a child so that's my reasoning but idk
a "root" or something
she's a root, though what that entails we don't know
dont think Second Sentinel has the capacity for relationship unfortunately
Giant Worm Mates with A root
Fair enough
important question how tf did the knight in HK not get eviscerated when delivering the everbloom
Lace and second sentinel are the only two immortals we know in pharloom I think
Greyroot exists but WL is also a HB and a PB so we don't know if that changes things
why not???
It is relatively unkown whether or not that's meant literally, as hornet has also been called a child and lace is effectively immortal yet acts like a child
I see the vision
Still 0 clue of what happend with hornet and Puré vessel fight
why would it?
knight is void, void no like flower
true, i hope that ending is expanded upon
He’s got pale power too
he's a slave to his programming who never speaks to her again after she spares his life when he tries to kill her
knight also have shell
Void contained in a vessel
Anyone who knows hornets true nature calls her old and she is in fact very old, and "the look of a child with a mind to match"
Knight is not simply void he got a outer shell
What happened to the first sentinel
dead probably
We dont talk about him
This is super false. You can encounter Second Sentinel in Act 3, and they never attack Hornet again.
Vessels are the offspring of two pale beings who had void seep into their eggs during development, corrupting them
maybe he keeps the flower in his eye socket when he delivers it
No he eats it /j
And we have no idea when lace was created, she'd be created sometime before hornet gets to pharloom and after the weavers left which leaves a hell of a lot of time
He tests Hornet, see she’s not mindless, then goes back to helping her
surely his body is unprotected
Counterpoint: i activated second sentinel on act 3
Being chronologically immortal doesn't change the fact she has the body and mind of a child
It also had the capacity to realize that the majority of the pilgrims are no longer their own, and instead protects songclave
So is this a Wishboard quest that can be skipped in Act 2?
Lace is child-coded
I never said they attack Hornet again? I said they never speak to her again, which if they have unique act 3 dialogue I was not aware of that, however as far I knew after completing it's wish it simply helps clear rooms for you and once finished bows before leaving without a word
The point being that she has developed her mind at some point in time, making her age ambiguous
Even if we say that to be true she still has the body of a child
Im not saying that she is or isn't a child, but that it's kind of up in the air
No i mean i used the heart in act 3
y'all think Phantom's mask is Lace's mask?
no
What happens if you start the Silk & Soul quest, then activate Second Sentinel?
well is she a child in the sense that she was created to have a mind and body of a child yes
is she a child in the age sense no, she was created a decently long time ago iirc, no exact number tho
Phantom's mask is either what's left of her shell as it degraded, or it's a replacement because hers is gone
it intrigues me that there is another mask maker in pharloom, with similar dialogue to the other one
Okay but like if they have the body of a child and that body still hasn't developed, still feels kinda wrong
Could be a profession rather than a specific person
I think from a lore perspective its kind of an inherently creepy ship but I dont think someone is necessarily creepy for shipping it because even though Lace is stated to have the mind of a child she doesn't particularly behave or look like one at all
the similar dialogue makes me think they all come from the same place
I suppose I can agree with that
well altogether she's still a child
its like a stasis
won't be doing it myself though
see that's why I'm like, no
that was my thinking or could be a family lineage thing like with the nailmasters.
plus there are better ships such as 🗣️ FATHER OF THE FLAME X CRAWFATHER !!!!
Nailmasters isn't family lineage, sly's studens just happen to be brothers
yeah like if I just saw cute wholsome fanart of them matching outfits or cuddling or something, wouldn't be for me, but I wouldn't have any harsh judgements for the person who made it
Karmalita X hornet
anyone else interested by the fact that pharloom knew of hallownest but hallownest didn't know of pharloom
She dead as fuck though
If Hornet could time travel this would go hard as fuck.
Hornet learns necromancy/j
oh yeah… that’s right neeeeevermind.
BROODMOTHER X PHANTOM
specfically old Karmalita, this is the reason you get the Conjoined Heart instead 🗣️
I mean it makes sense
phantomother
PK knew of Pharloom he kept it from his citizens
Oh that idc I just meant they shouldn't be intimately involved romantically or otherwise
indeed :P
why do you think he knew of pharloom
cause he knew of the Weavers and how their magic worked, and he had travelled the Wastes Beyond extensively in his previous life
like "The Pale Wyrm" was an incredibly infamous figure long before he settled down in Hallownest, to my understanding
The only reason im kinda iffy on that statement is that lace is kinda just doomed to no love if she so wanted it until someone makes another concept of similar body yknow?
Or unless she somehow someway modifies her body
idk Hornet can maybe do something about it
I think the implication would be that shes ace/aro due to having the mind of a child
petition for a :poshanka: emoji to go with 
Its kinda fucked up in a way when you think about it
another sibling to the collection
exactly
Because of her being a creation to serve a purpose
Strictly speaking, Lace is Hornet's Aunt, Lace is a direct child of GMS, Hornet is the child of a weaver making GMS her Grandma and Lace her Aunt since the weavers and Lace would be sisters or half sisters
she has to make up her quota for all the ones she killed
Yeah
GMS helped evolve the weavers, not directly birth them iirc
I know
They aren't related in anyway
she would be a cousin not an aunt
They're more daughters in the theological sense
I mean yes, but they are daughters ("she called us daughters..."
when?
Wow I answered to an really old comment
hornet beats the shit out of her thrice
yeah sounds like sisterly love actually
No? Lace is a child of GMS, GMS is Hornet's Grandmother she's literally a generation below
they're not like actually related tho
That'd make Lace her Aunt
Correct
considering Hornet's track record with her siblings thats incredible progress and we should all tell Hornet we're very proud of her
Not biologically no
it's not "Grandmother Silk" it's "Grand Mother Silk"
like she's a mother and she's grand
is she grand tho.
she still is technically her grandma tho lol
andy please don't slander my goat gms she's the only thing i have left
She is the Grand Mother of Silk
I know
She is the silk higher being, which is the point
yeah
She's a god
the weavers are daughters in the sense that nun orders often call themselves “daughters” kinda
Come on you ain't gotta be related by blood or give birth to someone. They're daughters in a whole another sense
no her name is literally silk tho
She is the Grand mother, of silk, but to Hornet in terms of a quote on quote family tree she would be her grandmother
hornet never even met gms saying they're related at all is a stretch
Yeah basically, especially with the heavy religious theme of the game
not after act 3 muwhahaha
Herrah is not Lace's sister, one can assume she wasnt of First Sinner's generation the Deepnest Weavers left far after that, theres a lot of generations between Herah and Lace, that makes them cousins so many times removed
Not mutually exclusive
Fellows in a religion are called sisters and or brothers and the god is usually the parent making the followers "children"
I like calling GMS Meemaw because it’s funny and it obfuscates her and her final boss status to people who haven’t fought her
How come there are generations? Do we have evidence weavers reproduced?
Why is the Bell Beast one of so few NPCs and enemies with absolutely no Needolin dialogue?
😭
Outside of hornet of course
Then everyone in game would be siblings
the weavers are all from the same generations if fully weaver lmao
no thoughts head empty
Little Weavers in the first game, and we know Weavers still have the desire to produce even though its difficult, also the fact there were eight weavers and quarter weavers and sixteenth weavers all over the place GMS was tryna capture
im pretty sure either herrah is stated to be a full weaver or hornet is stated to be 1/2 weaver which means herrah is a full weaver
well given we know that Hornet is 50% weaver meaning Herrah was full, weavers having children is nigh impossible, and that they're all female its fair to say that Herrah a first generation
Do we know if herrah is full weaver
ya rare but possible
Cause she sure doesn't look like it
Little Weavers are tied to the Charm. They aren't fully alive like normal bugs.
Herah was born from Weaver parents who were born from Weaver parents however many generations until First Sinner's gen is mutated/born by GMS
little weavers like the enemy
You’re thinking of Weaverlings
I doubt she is not, since weavers we're pretty much worried about hornet not being one to be governed by someone that is not
that's because TC retconned the hell out of her
Herrah is first fully weaver because hornet is only half weaver
its not "nigh impossible" its very difficult thats a massive extrapolation
we know this to be wrong since hornet is half weaver
...and????
I think i get it
oh damn I forgot there was an enemy called that
all weavers are girls 
Herrah being born from two Weaver parents would be full Weaver
all weavers are female
if herrah wasn't full weaver then hornet wouldnt be half weaver
all weavers are female
we weavers are gurls
I am unique, you see. My mothers shared the curse of their tribe, to conceive a child is a painful, near impossible task. - Eva
Where are all the male Weavers needed to do that? They don't exist as far as we know
many spider species are capable of asexual reproduction
the weavers were not considering herrah had to mate with the pale king
no she wanted her offspring to be of high birth thats why the bargin was made
if they were, the child would look the same as the mom
also there's no evidence weavers can do that, you're just making it up
You would think this would be stated instead of only having the "near impossible" bit.
Example "it is nearly impossible for Weavers to bear children normally. However another way, not requiring a mate, is possible"
there's nothing suggesting they need a mate either, you're right it's complete fanfic land either way at this point though
the only known weaver offspring we have is produced with a mate so that is something suggesting that
Well, to give an example,|| in Part 4, Joseph cheats on his wife and has a kid with a Japanese woman, that kid who is a lot younger than Jotaro who is Joseph's grandson is technically his uncle ||the time of lace's Birth is kind of irrelevant if she is a direct progeny of GMS and Hornet is a generation below because she is the child of a weaver who while not biologically her children are her "Daughters" this would make Hornet the Grand child of GMS, and Lace being the child not the grand child of GMS would make Lace Hornets Aunt, I suppose you could argue Herrah isn't an original weaver but we have no tangible proof either way
It's implied in a lot of dialogues that weavers hardly have any offspring though. Evas dialogue, for example. Imo it is likely that every single weaver was evolved directly by GMS
can you quote the nigh impossible statement? having a lot of trouble finding it
Meow
also we know weavers live a long ass time considering widow is also first gen
Also y'all talking about "grand mother silk" and not "grandmother silk", you ever heard of an intentional pun
we're aware
Eva: I am unique, you see. My mothers shared the curse of their tribe, to conceive a child is a painful, near impossible task.
Hornet: I know the curse well, Eva, for I am also its victim, and spawn of one who managed to overcome its limits.
dont know enough about JoJo's for the comparison to mean anything to me, sorry ^^;
1 sec please. It's Eva dialogue
Long story short, Grandpa had a kid with another woman later in life but he has living grand children, the kid is younger than the grandkid but technially his uncle because the kid is a direct child and not a grand child
Yep this one
someone already showed me it no worries!!! ^^
Yknow when you think about it, the sample size of everything in these games are small given all of the death
It creates quite a bit of what ifs with few answers
Which is to say time doesn't mean much in terms of generations if the originator has another kid it is higher in the tree in spite of it being younger
I mean its just obviously not so hard as she says it is since theres so many second generation Weavers running around I dont know what else to make of that to be quite frank, I think shes exaggerating
yeah but there's stuff that's all but confirmed though, herrah being a first gen weaver is pretty obvious
Not talking about that but sure
"so many" we have like 4 cells in the cradle of 1/4 and 1/8 weavers
well how many do we know of ? 3 ?
way more in the background you cant interact with, every cage we see would have been for a weaver, not to metion Little Weavers
Koal you my twin but I can't agree with you 🙁
there is I think one 1/4, two 1/8, and then Hornet being 1/2
that's it
what do you guys think of both widow and first sinner doing a fakeout
not necessarilly used, but even if they were, remember that first gen weavers have existed for many centuries
Aside from Hornet and Little weavers what other second generation weavers do we know of, since the only ones we encounter are full weavers
I do remember there being a 1/2 marked cage but I don't think that's hornets since hers is all the way in moss grotto
just a couple dozen kids in CENTURIES is not really "so many"
well given that Silksong came after we shouldn't assume that Little Weavers make sense
what about it
its a hell of a lot more than "nigh impossible" would suggest
might be common among weavers as a dirty tactic
I refuse to believe they would retconn something like that, to each their own
Night impossible just means it's possible but the conception rate is severely low
little weavers might not even be canon anymore
*nigh
Well hornet was born within a relatively short time so there being so few that we know of doesn't help
considering they retconned voidheart and shamans
why wouldn't they be, they're weaver children not original weavers
??? what retconn
plus little weavers might just be constructs
nigh impossible means by all means only a couple weavers out of all of em would be able to get kids
huh????
oh they retcon a lot of stuff
idk what else to say besides that theres a bunch of evidence suggesting that Herrah was first generation and not much counterargument against it
shamans being into void shenanigans and voidheart not unifying the void under the knight's will
ok I gotta go eat bye
because they seem to be full weavers and because there's too manyof em

I mean they did stop once the knight did get there
the Voidheart did unite the Void under its will just not the entire void, thats not the same as retconning something out of the story
knight had to attack them to stop
it had the aid of it's sibling shades
And then they stopped, yeah
unifies the void and then THE void is not under the knights will
if the void is unified under the knights will they shouldnt need to attack the tendrils at all
It’s a Choral Commandment and it specifically calls for a trip to the kingdom of the White Wyrm
that's not how it's supposed to work. they should just fully stop moving.
So the last track in the OST is called Silksong. What is the silksong?
or not be doing that in the first place
We've literally never seen it in action except for that though
yeah they retconned what they meant by the void in that instance, they meant specifically the lake in the Hallownest Abyss not the entire thing, like I said not the same thing as retconning something out of the story
Shamans have always been implied to possibly mess with void and VH still applies But SS showed us the void is a giant expanse, it's still very much unified as we see TK show up and calm it, it's very likely that due to the massive expanse it takes time for TK to exercise its will that far away
The only time the void doesn't react is when the knight is near it, it could be am automatic reaction UNTIL the knight is aware or near it
That's just a gameplay mechanic imo, in actuality I don't think there's that many
that's just a justification for the retcon though? like the void is not just hallownest's abyss and the knight takes the form of the void given form and focus
Like maybe the knight isn't omnipresent type thing
it is explicitly the surface
Imo not necessarily
shamans in hollow knight didn't even know about void as a source of power
you're missing the point, there is NO retconn they have made that would come even close to the lore implications of utterly de-canonizing Little Weavers
Like is it an actual song sung in Pharloom?
What was going on with the one in sanctum, i legit forgot
a king that unifies a kingdom does not mean a king is every individual or that individuals don't have free will. unify could mean that he is powerful enough to control the entire void, and not that the voids will is the knights will
weren't all first gen Weavers female? Since they're all called daughters
we are taking their soul and using our own void by fusing it with them to make the void spells
I think it is all void but it's a expanse since SS has proven is massive and just like how irl it takes time for light to travel, it takes time for TK's orders to reach all the way into Pharlooms void
so there couldn't be fully weaver non-first gen Weavers right?
K
in soul sanctum? he was experimented on im pretty sure
The Void Heart retcons is MAGNITUDES more important than little weavers not existing lmao
some spiders can reproduces asexually, we have no reason to assume the Pharlids were not also all female and therefore would have need for asexual reproduction
if i had a nickel for every hollow knight game where the final boss was an ancient overlooked lady with an hourglass figure that overtook the new kingdom by controlling the citizens i would have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
The Shamans are related to all void spell upgrades, that's definantly enough to say they probably dabbled in it
true
maybe little weavers are still canon? Maybe after a pharlid turns into a weaver their offspring could also maybe be a weaver? But i'm not too inclined to believe that since weavers having offsprings are very difficult.
agree to disagree lmao
no im not missing anything little weavers could just be made into normal ass spiders and it would have 0 implications, voidheart not working as it's supposed to is literally the biggest change possible
I mean we do have a reason, since the only weaver shown to reproduce needed a mate
Void Heart officially less important than Little Weavers chat you heard it right here
it works exactly like its supposed to 🙄
I'm not longer mentioning little weavers though why you mentionin this
it is stated that you turn the shaman's power into void yourself, not that the shaman uses void power
wrong link
Alr
strawman, thats not what im saying and you know it 🙃
what exactly changed about the void heart?
wait they retconned void heart??? how??
that's just a fundamental misunderstanding of void heart on your part then
ditto
what marmo just said
TK doesn't have the random ability to turn a spell into void, but it's quite clear the implication drawn here is that they may have studied it and SS basically confirms that, that they dabbled in it
doesn't unify the void under the knight's will
okay I'm not good at lore with games like Silksong. Whats the deal with snail shamans in Silksong? Like I get that them almost destroying Pharloom was an accident, they thought GMS would just die after being swallowed by the void and that would be that, but they seemed like they did not give a fuck about what was going on
even with voidheart you still take damage from jumping into void pools iirc
"you've twisted it into something else"
No you don't
literally does, just not the entire void, what "void" meant changed the unifying part did not
TK having to attack void tendrils is goofy no matter how you slice it
which is still a retcon???
An external factor is still necessary to achieve it said thing being a shamans body in 2/3 cases
There's still a catylist
then shit isn't unified lol and there's no logical reason for there to be a distinction between void in halllownest and void anywhere else
YEAH BUT A LOT LESS MAJOR ONE THAN REMOVING SOMETHING FROM LORE ENTIRELY HOLY SHIT FUCK YOU GUYS
and also it literally does control pharloom's void
Hard disagree, it shows he has power over them
if the knight isn't willing anything over the void then it can do whatever it wants
sorry that was mean im really tired and engry, not actually fuck you guys
Sure but its not controlling them like it did in HK
if they had power over them they wouldn't need to attack them
but holy shit im so done with this convo, later yall lol
Yeah
wait wrong msg
that makes no sense because the knight attacked the tendrils instead of just stopping them

gchanging how one of the most important things in the game works is quite more important than removing a frankly not important enemy ngl 
Yeah
reading comprehension devil
That makes no sense. He could be a different entity, does not mean that all void acts under his will. But he can enforce his will through power and violence. Like, you know, most LORDS do
and it's not even removing rather just making the name be different or not have any implications
Is there a difference between the two terms? As it turns out, grandma was right!

that's not how the void or void heart works
Aura farming
as I said the first time you brought this up, agree to disagree lmao
There is not a single good SS retcon its honestly impressive
genuinely the most sensible justification for SS voidheart 😭
i do think Hornet being half weaver is more interesting than being a random ass spider
i'd say herrah being a weaver and lifeblood shenanigans are good retcons
Could you elaborate further?
I could believe TC would only make the ending do that because it looked cool
She was half wyrm
That alone justified her powers idk why they needed to make Herrah a weaver
already have i honestly cba
Lifeblood is laughably uninteresting though
Infection #3
depends on how they develop it further tbf
(That Hornet is complacent in allowing to happen)
wasn't it known that Herrah was a weaver in HK? She was the leader of the weavers right?
lifeblood is just infection again they looked at all the possible routes and chose the lamest of all of them
she just looked different to them being much larger
leader of spider tribe not weavers
Actually I think the weavers being able to pass on their knowledge is considerably interesting. It would make them capable of giving a legacy longevity even when they are gone
She was the ruler of Deepnest as a whole, her resemblance to regular spiders more than the weavers made it more likely that she was a normal one
I still think my theory is sound, void, like light irl takes time to travel, a lightyear is a measure of distance, one lightyear is a years worth of time for light to travel to that point if we treat void like the possibly nigh infinite expanse it might be under all of HK universe like space is and light then it takes time for Tk's commands to reach the void in Pharloom presuming TK has to travel from Hallownests void to Pharlooms void
still wouldn't need to attack the tendrils
aight, still I dont think its necessarily a retcon since it was never confirmed she wasn't a weaver
Yea it very well could be an automatic response that the knight had to pick up on and go “oops sorry sis”
It doesn't need to be explicitly confirmed to be a retcon
i agree but that doesn't mean that hornet being half weaver is also not good to be a thing
I think the most interesting part of it is that the knight still has a form to maintain, which could mean that they aren't always there
Its still inconsistent with the first game, heck they even redesigned her to be more weaver like 
she quite literally has a different appearence between the two games
she doesn't look like a weaver, she never did weaver stuff, hornet was never stated to have any strange weaver power
wrong reply
the FUCK is up with my english today
What
wrong reply sry
Ah ok lol
My interpretation was that was faster than issuing an order based on time of arrival but we'll never truly know
Who wins in a fight a flea or a grub
same im so fucking tired i can't type properly 😭
Fleas
possibly
There's a flea enemy yet no grub enemy... curious
so does Hornet. Its not that major and also the red memory space with Herrah isn't reliable, Hornet couldn't remember Herrah's face, so I'm fine if her appearance isn't accurate as well
they snuggle
Though ig grubs have a slight connection to healing
Are you talking about the cloth being red?
i'd agree if siblings in the first game were still hostile for an instant after acquiring VH
im talking about her fat ass being gone
I don't remember much of her appearance being different in the cutscene
depends on if a grubberfly or a big flea is involved
hornet only changed her cloth to a slightly brighter red what are you on about
they remove half her body lmao
In HK Herrah looked more like a regular spider and had no substantial connections to the weavers
In SS Herrah looks more like a weaver and is confirmed to be one
Its a pretty clear retcon though whether or not you like it is up to taste
she couldnt remember her face because she spent centuries dreaming with the mask on though, her body never changed
it is a retcon, doesn't mean it wasn't a good decision
Personally I dislike it on the grounds that it doesn't service the story
i already went over how I believe it has to do with distance, and VH was achieved in Hallownest and TK is also there exercising its influence is immidiately possible
i feel like it gives a deeper connection to the main villain + a reason why hornet would be able to bind GMS
Ngl it's possible Herrah just got a redesign which TC is allowed to do
Yeah this is a good explanation. To me it might as well be that controlling or unifying the void does not mean you have control over ALL of the void ALL the time
yeah so if the knight was physically in pharloom to attack the tendril it should've been able to stop it by that logic
Sure but that's hostility in relation to the knight, not to a non void being
Its a very tenuous connection, Hornet would be able to do that anyway (Also the first ending sucks)
wdym Hornet being half Weaver is massively important for the story
assumedly they’d have to take time to get there
The story would work if she got her soul powers from her father and the silk from her mother
i do think some more Wyrm stuff being explored would've been cool
Like the void obviously can ovserve and move as seen in the radiance fight, but I'm not quite sure that it's the night controlling the void as much as leading them
hey guys
guys quick question, do you think it is possible for other sentient spider-like creatures to exist?
it just feels like a lot of people are trying to justify the void heart retcon in whatever way tbh but i dont really mind as long as they expand on a future dlc on how the void given focus actually works
also eh Herrah doesn't look that much different between the games aside from being red, which could just be a different cloth since we know Weavers weave their clothes
Do we know what Shakra's "sayings" translate to
even if the void is unified for example Lace still has her own attacks and we could hardly say TK is responsible for it lol now this might be a retcon yeah, but I do think it can fit the description
We see other sentient spiders in HK so
hooray
Like what meaning is Poshanka
like it's not necessarilly a bad retcon but to try to justify it being the same concept as it was in hollow knight is just straight up massive reaching
poshanka
I can make a jumping spider based oc in my head
hey andy
My logic like I said based on my explanation is in all likelihood TK had just arrived and the faster course of action was to attack it to protect hornet rather than issue an order, this is of course speculation but if my theory holds true, to me, it makes sense
Bug language is gibberish
seems to be a greeting
It's more of that it's kind of ambiguous what it does already
Poshanka
and the big ass body??
yeah I think that's an alright reasoning
As we've never seen the void interact with a non void individual
In HK its not like TK was issuing orders to the void, it was the void
Poshanka is "a warrior's greeting"
using your logic the only way attacking is faster than "issuing an order" is the knight moving faster than light
yep
this
If I instinctively try to suckerpunch someone I don't need to slap my hand to prevent that I just need to pull it away
The knight also could have just decided not to, as the same outcome was obtained
you mean the pointy stuff behind Herrah in the Silksong screenshot? I assumed it wasn't her body but other stuff, dunno like blankets or something
which makes no logical sense and is why im saying you cant justify voidheart being the same as it was in the first game
i mean that herrah has a massive body in the right image and a slender one in the left one
Retcon discourse
- Pale King's constructs
- Lifeblood in Wormways
- Voidheart
- Herrah & Weavers
any I'm missing ?
whichever required less thought process imo
Do y'all think Hornet being racist counts as a retcon
whats the retcon with Pale Kings constructs and Lifeblood?
She wasn't racist in HK
It makes no logical sense to not care about the actions if the result is the same?
this is just massive reaching to deny voidheart being retconned
how was lifeblood retconned
Shamans
Technically 3 Queens? Vespa said the Hive didn't wanna take part in Hallownest's eternal kingdom shit
oh yeah I forgot about shamans
if you are gonna slap someone but you dont want to would you pull your hand away with your other arm or just not slap them?
result is the same
You commit genocide twice in this game, you kill the last Verdanian and the last 2 Karakians
We hadn't access to her notes in HK so perhaps she was and we just didn't known
Depends on how upset i was
she hated vessels 🔥
Believe what you want, I presented my argument
she hadn't met those dirty flies in hk
i need to stop replying to or bringing up voidheart discourse
I really dont think its a major difference, her body could be hidden by those pointy thingies all around her, she could be half laid down or there could be a space to sit inside where she is. Also this is a red memory of a very old memory for Hornet, its pretty heavily implied Hornet doesn't have accurate memories from this time, she herself even says that she can't even recall her own mothers face anymore
Im literally just forming an analysis based on the provided evidence since we have never been given this situation before
I thought they were referring to their attempts to stop the radiance or sum. I’m pretty sure Vespa still trained hornet, I think there was a post by TC that said something about hornet being trained by 3 queens
I feel like it conflicts with her previous characterization as a down to earth and ethical individual
she is might be wearing cloth and color faded
It was any idea they had but never worked on
herrah
because the situation isn't supposed to be able to happen and is the reason why voidheart was retconned, to what degree that's for TC to develop in the future
How is this girl a weaver bro 😭😭
and that's the last im gonna talk about voidheart im just gonna fucking censor that word 😭
You do have to account for the fact herrah is laying down for centuries and cannot do physical exercise
no idea maybe they'll expand on it in a dlc ? I hope so at least
Possible she could get a redesign
are we talking about the flies in the Slab? To be fair she was literally imprisoned and stripped naked by them
Wtf is a weaver anyways dude I thought I understood it after seeing the first sinner cutscene
Ngl, I think TC was treating it like how we dislike pests irl, like, I wouldn't mind if Mosquitos breeded less but if you said that about another race it'd be fucked up, I think TC forgot for a sec they were making a game about bugs as people
Apparently there’s more layers to “weaver”
I could be wrong but that's how I interpret it
She writes it if that doesn't happen too
Also that's no excuse to be racist, every enemy is hostile
It doesn't have to happen
Also that's not justification to call for their genocide
there is definitely bug racism
We aren't given a reason for it to not be able to happen though. We don't know the knight's reach as the bearer of voidheart
Yeah
yeah 😭 otherwise we would have to argue that TC themselves are racist which y'know
Oh there is, I just meant the eugenics fresh fly comment
first of all its obviously the intended way for Hornet to reach the Slab, is by kidnapping. Second does she call for their genocide?
a weaver is anything we want it to be
the knight is weaver
She writes about how she wants them to stop breeding and after killing Broodmother hopes that they all die out
Probably not
Also you don't need to sequence break to enter the slab or anything
Of course TC didn't mean to make Hornet racist but it's kinda how it panned out
the knight is void. no-thing. so you lose
making a racist character accidentally or on purpose does not mean they are racist what 😭
I didn’t even know about the jailers LOL I found the slab from act 2
Its perfectly plausible that a player can get to there from the Citadel because they made an entire one-way passageway from the Citadel to the Slab
Yea there’s a bunch of jokes about how we view the bugs irl, eg. “craws fouling up my roof” and “ant problem” both with Criege
umm is mendebrug weaver
Yknow after seeing what she did to that dude with her cloak, she definitely felt a type of way about them
thats fucked up but I guess she was that pissed off after being kidnapped by them. You have to consider that she was just kidnapped at the start of the game in the same way and forced to come to this fucked up kingdom of Pharloom, when the same caging runes were used on her to get to the slab, it probably felt traumatic to her
If you believe it to be in your heart
YES
Yeah, I think TC wrote that from the perspective of humans to pests, like we'd say that about like mosquitos but obviously about another human race would be fucked and TC had a bit of a mental slip when writing that and forgot bugs are people in their games
no they just took her cloak nonconsensuallg so she hated them
nah dude with the cloak was justifying, saying they are disgusting and shouldnt reproduce on the other hand 🥀
and Hornet is a good individual but even good individuals can have groups they really hate
Well she doesn't wish eugenics upon the Citadel's caste
Love those
Also in the same journal entries she acknowledges they are slaves which makes it really really weird
NAH MISS ME WITH THAT
They are
"These guys are slaves I hate them"
Both the jailers and prisoners are slaves
i really hate soccer fans and i dont wish they didn't reproduce 😭
hey she's not perfect, she just hates them what else can we say
Good individuals don't advocate for eugenics 😭 🙏
I always saw it as they are slaves comma I hate them
The jailer system seems to be somewhat self-enforced
Its a monumental fumble even if unintentional
Bro what
They are objectively disgusting. How would you feel if you got imprisoned, taken to another kingdom, got traoped in someone's spit, captured again, stripped of your clothes and weapons, then got dropped from a vertical tunnel
definantly
Good individuals actually advocate so bad individuals dont exist. horseshoe theory confirmed
it is, the flies dont even remember what their original sin was of their ancestors but assume they have to continue doing their jobs so they do
Some people would probably like that
extremely angry but not genocidal 😭
They are slaves being forced to do that
Been there. not cool
Wishing genocide upon them paints Hornet as extremely irrational and frankly evil
Not good for Hornet herself to go “they should stop breeding” but they are very much perpetuating the cycle
also the broodmother lore is. eugh
She writes that even if she doesn't get captured
Girl of course hornet isn’t perfect the judges attack her we know this
They aren't perpetuating the cycle they are forced to do that by the Citadel
Yeap
Eh, still objectively disgusting
Are we seriously discussing the ethics of ss flies
My question though, is like, who's giving the orders at this point in the game
it's obvious the intention wasn't to make hornet racist as she treats the broodling fine, but she does wish for their extinction in the hunter's journal
Making the good guy of your game an unlikeable racist douche isn't good writing if it doesn't service the narrative
The flies literally do nothing if hornet doesn't get captured by em
GMS
bro LOL this is ragebait
They are still objectively disgusting
Its not ragebait she literally is racist
For the continuation of the slab?
That is literally racism
Im not talking about killing them because they're disgusting
"Poshanka" is a greeting, just looked at Shakra's dialogue and context
"Yakkanesh" suggests to me warning or danger
"Gara Takana" seems to be an exclamation of concerned surprise
"Dondakku" seems to be shock or incredulous suprise
"Nu-Hakkata" seems to be along the lines of don't worry
"Hakk" seems to be take care or an urgent warning, not as bad as "Yakkanesh"
"Ka Va" seems to be disgust
"Bakelo" seems to be no problem or no worry
"Un-Daak" seems to be well done, or congratulations
There we are Ive put my thoughts to her language for whatever reason 😄
Im talking about the spitting thing specifically
She shows disgust towards flies that treated her like shit, it seems justified if not a little harsh on the “these things should not exist anymore”
Yes she's kinda maintaining the status quo of the citadel
Well in fairness cardnal is speaking from a human perspective of a bug not a bugs perspective of a bug but idk
definitely the caste, they probably contact the slab from time to time. The flies inside the slab were generationally brainwashed and the older flies probably teach the younger flies that they have to continue being jailers for the rest of their lifes to atone for their sin
Interesting
They are slaves, they are haunted, they are not responsible for their actions
Yea this is also how I read the “born into servitude” thing
Hornet is just racist and its not justified at all
Love you bro (eggplant and cheese)
cringe
Gotta love some good ol fashioned eugenics apologia in ss-lore
Indeed, I am. It's also just didgusting to get stuck in someone's spit
Eggplant parmesan is an actual dish
Lmao??? How does that change anything. If im mentally ill can I start killing people and everyone would still love me because its technically not my fault
Its different when its an entire species 😐
oh you'd be suprised at some people's logic
And when they are slaves
Can we agree that
-the flies are bad
-wanting them all dead is also wrong
-hornet is a character with flaws and that is Fine
Not an apologist. Im trying to understand why someone thinks a certain way.
Her hate is based on actions not excuse, it is 100% valid
I personally find everyone responsible for their actions unless a gun is literally put to their head but I still generally agree
slaves are bad for doing what they were enslaved to do
Actions of a few do not justify punishment of the whole
I did make it in a pasta summer course! Love it
Eugenics is 100% valid if you were wronged by a race you heard it here first 
Nice
her hate happens even if she doesn't get captured
Smartest SS glazer
Girl literally every single fly toys with hornet spits at her and reeks (and tries to kill her)
hate to the point of wanting genocide isn't justified, it can be understandable why someone would think that but it would still be wrong to do so
yes finally the all sprites document is back up
Every time i talk here my mind image of the reading comprehension devil gets more and more monstrous
I will
You cannot bring actual real world racism problems into silksong fictional bug game 😭😭
Hate that bitch
FUCK it doesn't work
always the boomers smh smh
ah yeah you cant bring real life people thoughts into the game with bugs that have... real life people thoughts
Its fiction therefore morality doesn't apply?
"you cannot bring morality into a fictional story" ass statement
GMS, Radiance and the weavers fucking up the whole world cause they got pissy
"It's fiction therefore it should not have any meaningful discussion"
