And she probably let White Lady and The Hive do it after seeing how weavers treat her kid like shit

silk dirge

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

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

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

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?

So she severely restricts them

Wouldnt weavers give birth to pharlids tho

terse wadi
sudden pivot
# terse warren No they would not Pharlids are literally so far away from beast den spiders Als...

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

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

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

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

okay I'm not good at lore with games like Silksong. Whats the deal with snail shamans in Silksong?

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

rancid dagger

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

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

it is a retcon, doesn't mean it wasn't a good decision

guys quick question, do you think it is possible for other sentient spider-like creatures to exist?

rancid dagger
#

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

pine garden

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

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

"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
