nah
PK really got around huh
Pale stud
Ohhh of course
he did ask White Lady before doing it, and she said it's okay
White lady sat in the chair
ah, yes, the Weavers, a kind of spiders known for their loyalty
the way she worded it sounded like he went and did it first and asked if she was okay afterwards
My cat once stabbed me in the eyelid
What do you think about Hollow being the protag in a third game?
also they’re divorced now so who cares
too big, would only works as a prequel
Would suck ass
I mean, people used to say Ridley was too big for Smash so...
yeah, it does
but Nintendo is evil
"darling, where did this one come from? it doesn't look like the vessels"
"uh................. it's complicated"
Hornet in the next super smash bros
They should just move on from the series after they finish up silksong which is what they were planning to do and hopefully still are
Lace assist trophy
but... but I love HK
It will still exist
Sherma game when
but the community will shrivel up and die
lace small third game and it’s a speedrun game
Hopefully they cancel silksong dlcs already, so tired of it
but I'll never be as lost as my first time again
were pale king and white lady planning on having any children outside of unethical plans and bargains
Hungry knight 2
I won't let this happen
Silksong 2
Minecraft
Then play a different game? Or play their next game that isn’t a hollow knight game?
Zoteboat
they're the parents of Cornifer and Zote
I mean hornet is alive
can we talk about what a masterpiece act 3 of silksong is
Fake
Wdym
holy shit you're right, other games exist
:3
can we talk about what a masterpiece act 3 of silksong is
there will never be a metroidvania like silksong ever again
bigass flea
the genre peaked here
We should talk about balatro
why did it attack me wow
What other vanias do you like?
they made a Balatro HK skin
Chess
Here's some I'd recommend:
Animal Well
Blasphemous
Bloodstained
Ori
are any of them free
No
no thanks then
I only have money for silksong
Widow be like
yeaaa i rescued half the fleas it said
I love lace peak villain
is lace a good person for killing the evil citadel
Full of slop
No, lace is evil for being alive
lace is made of evil
alive backwards is evil
@conductors can I read yaoi in the citadel
wait it actually is wtf
evila
No sorry the cidadel is homophobic, exept for the gay robots
please, stop talking shit about Silksong characters
Shakra is CHARISMATIC
Lace is WELL-WRITTEN
GMS is A COMPLEX VILLAIN
Green Prince is A REALLY WELL-DESIGNED QUEST
Pavo.
Sherma is CUTE AND FUNNY
i just realized that once sharpe is in the game youll be able to like, use enemy rando to larp as if the steel assassins still harassed you throughout the game 
Groal was justified
green prince pmo
!! they added silk soar through room changes!
sherma is deep and compelling and annoying
they are not gay robots........
groal was justified until they killed the shaman
well they are but they're not gay for each other
he's not annoying, his stupidity is funny to me
seem pretty gay to me
is that you (the spider)
They're gay for themselves since they're the same person
Yes
Nah Sherma is highly intelligent trust
i thought for a second you said green prince was a poorly designed quest and i was just like woah ok fuck that guy i guess? 
no, theyre NOT gay for themselves because they're the same person
they're gay for GP
Sherma actually has 19458874 iq
I like how gms is basically team cherry’s apology for radiance being so lacklustre
Me too
Gay prince
get gyts wgat gaooebubg
same
clover dancers is yaoi
clockwork dancers isn't yaoi
goal the geat says gray rights 🗣️🗣️
Wait were both of them called the green prince
Prob
the cogwork dancers are not gay because they are robots both based off of the deceased partner of the Green Prince.
Notice which one sucks
green prince so tragic he can’t be with his partner even in a memory
They have his soul though
that's what I'm saying
they were referred to as the "Dual Princes of Verdania"
They have his soul
yeah so?
Hornet kinda messed up for taking conjoined heart
Yes but it's himself and himself and they're still made to dance like that
were the cogwork dancers needed to strengthen the song keeping gms asleep
?????
Green Prince is so stupid
he was given two lovers
why not dath both of the,???
True
Goat
cuz he was arrested
Bro was grieving and she kills him 😭
Based alert?
He got that cogwork ass, TWO of them
do you consider grand mother silk’s imprisonment to be a fate worse than death
i mean the point is its messed up to take any of them though obviously to varying degrees
green prince literally fought hornet to the death because she was "intruding" in his memory
Hornet MURDERED innocent people
she a bitch so she deserves it fr
I allways kill karm for the extra heart bc fuck those racist ants thank god their land will die
She was
Uh bro hornet broke those
Idk the other 3 are chill
okay what IF she let one live
Hornet literally helps green prince get his memory back btw
but is it worse than death
Yes?
Nah they destroyed
the game doesnt give that much reason to believe khan is dormant like watcher at the edge but it is still a little ambiguous
prolly idk
GP had all rights to hate hornet
that's why you need to collect orbs
Doesn't the void quite literally kill her though
hornet also saved green prince lmao
yk from sinners road
Bro he didn't want out 😭
yes but I mean her imprisonment in the citadel
GP had all the reason to hate Hornet but he lowkey doesn't hate her
being conscious but unable to move or do anything other than create silk children
so? he could've just stayed there
"the key just fit the lock"-hornet
No she did not deserve that one because the greedy ass Weavers pulled that up against her
Lugoli and Groal started making out and he got scared
If he had the survival skills of a potato maybe
I agree she didn’t deserve it
would you consider it to be worse than death
do you think the snail shamans lay like 200 eggs
Lugoli would eat him
Yeah
The Weavers suck but GMS was awful to them, they were justified in their hatred and/or defiance against GMS
it’s interesting I haven’t yet heard of a villain that kills others to save themself from a fate worse than death
seth turns out well enough in the end but you still have to sacrifice the most amicable friendly dude whos still a boss in the game just to get to nyleth, which he already didnt want people going in the shrine anyway. karmelita and green prince are like, well. rip them, too
How does hornet drink the drinks in greymoor
was she though? we don’t really know if she mistreated the weavers
is this the artist rendition of the seeker
Mouth
i hope the stillkin fucking rot
she wanted them to empower her through song but did she do it unethically
Yeah
Karmelita was dying, king was dead alr, so was nyleth and Seth didn't even remember hornet after
maybe she gave them good homes and food and paid them well, we don’t know
she lied and when they found out and tried to flee she hunted them all down and massacred them and sacrificed countless choir members to track, capture, and/or kill the Weavers. Most were brought back so she could steal their silk.
I think the forced evolution is still messed up
but she only did the second part after being imprisoned
bottom 1
nyleth was dead already anyway 💀 ☠️
Wasn't even hard it's just a sucky fight
which brings us back to hornet actually
lying about their origins was wrong but it wasn’t worth trapping her in a conscious but asleep state permanently
Yeah
Why did groal the great eat snail shaw man
when they tried to rebel she went crazy
It kinda mirrors the weavers
lowk the easiest heart
she was the one sustaining the lands and to an extent the skarr just by being around, king uhhh prooobably totally dead, yeah, and the player would never be able to know seth would survive the fight until after it was already done. even then, losing his memory has its good sides but is still kind of a bummer
Forced into higher thought and forced into Eternal sleep
To get more power so he could avenge his people and defeat the citadel
she only went crazy after being imprisoned for a long time
GMS not only targeted all the weavers it also targeted all Weaver spawn as well
like hornet
How does the equivalent of a moldy potato on roids figure anything out
How the hell did he figure it out
wasnt there something about them living in servitude, something to that effect?
soul shaman, he eats and absorbs stuff. He absorb the soul.
can you send the full quote
Yall like silksong or hollow knight more
Sk
I wish we could actually see the seeker
cant avoid bots for a SINGLE DAY now that the citadels gone big....
he doesn't have infinite soul lol
there isn’t really enough evidence to say gms was mistreating the weavers before she was imprisoned
Fair enough
hes gonna fall for that scam lets be real
Also why would he give hornet a bencch
don’t we see his corpse hanging
He dead lol
wait really
well no that was like, an actual genuine question, wasnt that a thing 
where
I wonder if the other prince would be more normal if both the dancer corpses were brought
I’ll have to check later
Where you get the soul
above the soul yes
it disappears when you collect the soul
okay but that's still a corpse 😭

would be nice to see them in a yk
also I think shamans are bad at spellcasting and useless in combat because we never see a shaman cast a combat spell
more natural state
elder baldur > snail shaman
what do shamans even do 🥀
ekder WHO?
aura farm
well hey she didnt save him either, she "just opened the door" 
radiance was going to die
while grand mother silk was suffering worse than death
do we agree on that
whats considered hot in bug standarn lowk
sometimes I feel like soaking lace in milk and throwing her against a wall and watching as she slowly stains the wall
Hornet apparently
Alll of the old hearts are slim except for Khann, so thats one
would Spamton and lace get along
No
I think the Green Prince is hot by bug standards
Likely not lmao
all the old hearts are hot except nyleth
Nyleth is more on motherly,,,
they both like mass murder and terrorising the rulers of their kingdoms
I think I just found the worse hollow knight gif ever
Spamton is actually mentally deranged
yeah he is lol
I think lace would choke him
the timeline is super vague but remember that verdanias downfall was attributed to both gms and the citadel keeping her asleep, so it probably spanned the whole process of its creation (including the clover dancer sacrificing himself at some point)
yes
Is he actually that old
what did Verdania honestly do to the Ctiadel, they seem more on isolation
verdania’s downfall was caused by the haunting, but green prince blames the citadel for letting it happen
They existed
Hes so old but hot
and he’s correct
haunting wouldn’t have happened if whiteward didn’t happen
It said/implied that Verdanias ecosystem was so invasive (?)
realistic depiction of verdania if team cherry weren’t homophobic
I think the conductors said verdania was “doomed to forget” because gms turned her attention to destroying it and the conductors were scared of her
I like to think Verdania was spreading outside of its "region" too much
i have a headcanon that verdanian’s dont make big towns but instead little campsites around their area called swarms
Verdania feels like a little village
which is depicted here
royal swarm is the one we see ingame, the one with higherups like green prince
martial swarm would be for the verdanian fighters and such, super small tight mazelike geography around there
allied swarm is much less chaotic and more simple cuz thats their closest connection to the skarrs, who they ally with (based on a cool karmelita animation i saw)
theres lots of eggs in Verdania, who laid them if there are two princes?
MPREG confirmed?
secluded swarm was the furthest and safest and also biggest because that’s the last hideout from the citadel
Verdania and the Skarr tribe being allies feels rightr
where all the families live
Pale stag
"preg" is kind of like a combination of "prince" and "green", right?
Yes
vs the skarr which has a massive centralized nest/city called skarrsia
how did team cherry plan this? were they there when they wrote the dictionaries?
this would accidentally clash with greymoor
how do i get thru here i NEED to goto the ducts
actually that sounds fucked up if the implication is still that its a border region to their territory 
up
fym up
up
no i organized things well, the top connection leads into the greymoor bellway area
WDYM
oooo
up
combine alternate world hunters march and far fields and its like 4x the size of the citadel
well back then it woudlnt be a march probably
also notice the march of madness (better path of pain)
I wonder, did the map also connect under Creiges bar? I mean, Skarr infestation
i don’t temember i think it got super close though
that connection is with the dip in the middle i think
wait no it might be the bellway big room
yea it’s the bellway big room
ohh
which means it’s faster to get into skarrsia by greymoor than docks
kreige room no connection unfortunately
my bilewater map wasn’t this cool
i imagine the stilkin lived through the entire area but were forced to move and cram themselves into bilehaven after citadel
good.
this probably would get vastly changed after sos or dlc tho
bilewater is probably the saddest destroyed land in pharloom
I hope we get a memory to see it pre-cidadel one day
ahh i love bilewater
unfortunately there’s no other areas that have this much depth and need to be expanded
dead pinstress elegy of the deep?👀
boss fight against Baby Groal in Clearwater
sands of karak / coral gorge realistically have no direction i can go
groal the tiny
Groal the Cranky
groal pre-consuming the shaman soul🤔
Groal the not so great
graol the BITCH
groal the goal
groal the alright
Groal the okayeth
graol sounds like a crayon brand
Groal after not Soul (Sans) 
awhhh awhh their little homes awwhh
shaman after not surviving
lace is a BITCH
Beautiful
Inspiring
Triumphant
Charismatic
Harmful
Change Triumphant to “tried”
Because she may have tried, but she doesn’t triumph in any fight in the game.
only one of these is true
charismatic obv
that's how she smoothly convinced the entire population of the citadel to impale themselves on her pin
sounds like you found up
bitch
barnaks?
i think so
is hornet putting souls into her cogflies
woo atleast i found the map
how would she even do that
with a straw
lace is a SHIT
Shit
HShit
IShit
TShit
Obviously with a string.
can't be more shit than dung defender
Carry them like a kite.
dung defender is less shit than lace
he defends shit
why do you hate dung defedner?
My silksong theory is that lost lace is lace after being overtaken by the void... Think about it, we never see Lace after the start of act 3, not once, ever, and they look pretty similar... Also lost lace is an anagram of lace lost, as if she lost to the void, ever think about that?
i cant believe he defends destiny 2
Lace can’t defend for shit. 
she defends the citadel by killing innocents
i don't
I know a certain white bug that's very good at defending
i'm saying dung defender is shit because he literally is shit
my theory about the first sinner is that she is the first to sin... i think this because on her cage in the slab it says "first of the first" which leads me to believe she is the first to sin
Sentinel :nodnod:
yea dryya
white defender obviously
They wear a white thingamabob.
or even zemer
why is it the mantises managed to kill dryya but then they didn't attack the queen
isn't that what they were trying
did dryya die for nothing
dryya didnt get killed by the mantises
if she did there would be blood on the ground
then how
Interesting theory, but first could mean “like a fir tree,” as how could she be put in jail if the jail didn’t exist yet?
do bugs even bleed
Dryya killed em all and then got eepy and went to sleepy
yea
where
yea thats why you can dream nail her
all we see is soul and infection
in musquitos
But yeah I always assumed she fended them off, and then succumbed to her wounds after the fact.
and they never went back to check?
Leaking engine fluid. 
And the mantises just. Didn't try again until the knight showed up and knighted all over the place.
They don got infection'd I don't know what goes on in their weird little heads.
the mantises were probably chill with the queen and dryya because they live in queens gardens and the queen is probably the most powerful lady in the entire kingdom those mantises would be easily killed by her army
I’m pretty sure they went to the garden after defecting from the main tribe.
then why is dryya dead
i wonder how they willingly took part in the infection because mantises are too smart to get infected
can dryya's death be blamed on white lady
she became unc and died
Got drunk.
Went to sleep real hard.
how are you reading your name then silly david how are you reading the text bouble you silly david tell me how fucking tell me how
Also, consuming infected matter could cause infection probably.
Dangerous OJ.
the nobles in city of tears ate infected (and normal) bugs and didnt get infected until much later
pls anime name
I assume that's why the infected are slinging Radiance Gummies all over the place.

i love radiance gummies they are so yummy
Were they eating infected? I assumed they just did regular cannibalism.
I should stop trying to force my square peg (beast crest) into a triangular hole (Mist)
they are if you dreamnail the bodies they say (this is exactly word for word) "oh man im infected why are these guys eating me while im infected man thats not kind at all"
💥🔨
What if Garmond is a dream boss
heres an idea: stop forcing anything into the triangular hole and start forcing things into the large square hole called "grand gate" or maybe even that circular hole (act 1 faydown cloak and wisp thicket)
Don't wanna.
Did that last run.
I must beat Lace's emo sibling to death.
I'm challenging myself a lil bit. Teeny tiny. (Last Judge is way easier)
At least with Beaft crest this early on.
For having this big ass metal armour LJ is extremely meltable.
Also I forgot Hunter's crest does not count for Eva, so I just locked myself out of act 1 blue verticrest by a single memory locket.
My unwillingness to invest any resources into Reaper crest has come back to bite me.
how do i get here
The right side
who is more emo phantom or lost lace
Phantom, easily.
Only Ourple Trobbio has got phantom beat.
(It's not hard to beat phantom with beast crest, I just suck at mist and keep eating stupid damage, and with BC you gotta juggle the wraiths to heal and that's just no Bueno.)
tormented trobbio is fake emo
Yes the CITADEL OF SONG IS AND ITS ALL CONSIDERED ONE AREA
I didnt find wraiths that bad ngl
Even straight pin can deal with them
yes
he isn’t nihilistic he just puts on a show
same with bell hermit he’s not nihilistic he’s just an edgelord
He’s doing it for attention
It's a girl by the way
I like how every named flea is male except for the one protecting all of them
i found her on accident then got told very rudely they were a boy but i was actually right theyre a girl
marchon do you know any other 3d metroidvanias likr pseudoregalia
Grishkin is unspecified
oops
who would in in a fight kratt’s vital organs or the twisted bud
twisted bud soloes everything
this but unironically
the parasite in the twisted child ending likely solos the verse except for shade lord
and zote, of course
yes because the eternal ordeal is infinite
which character should be in silksong’s eternal ordeal
I hope it’s Kratt so we can kill him infinitely
we NEED to kill Kratt
Benjin and Crull
five nights at Freddy’s where you have to stab kratts that peer through the windows
I wonder whos mother flea
Flukemarm
Grishkin feels like a She but thats just me
Maybe they’re a secret third thing
no
what even is this supposed to be
shares a singing voice with forge daughter, so that's fair
gluttony
Do they both
I want to say beetle
but it also reminds me of a waterbear
Fat.
it doesnt even have a name its just called great gourmand
no that IS his name
Currently doing a hitless boss run and did lace 1 first try, lace 2 will probably be easy too since I already beat lost lace hitless
his parents named him that when he was born
was anyone else expecting them to eventually eat mergwin
gourmand is a word
ruby is a word too
i was expecting him to eat us
Lace 1 was scary tho, had a close call where I hit with a pogo and made her get stunned before she could use her jump attack on me
notice how your UI in the top left appears when the great gourmand roars
(iirc)
I could be misremembering but I think that happens
doubtful
hornet will be dressed as food
Ehhh i’d double it and give it to shakra’s master and seamstress
how would it even move
I think I'll do the phantom act 2 path for the first time since cross stitch is really helpful and phantom seems easier than last judge rn
False knight’s a hulking behemoth and can leap several meters high
same way it does when it first appears
it stomps into view so it must have legs
did everyone in the citadel eat things similar to great gourmand
its very unlikely but i do hope we fight the hunter if we get a pantheon-like thing in silksong
did chef lugoli cook for everyone
i’d hope not
I heard lugoli began cooking and serving sentient bugs, is that true
only for the conductor at the time
chef lugoli was kicked from the citadel for culinary crimes
he was replaced shortly after
due to suffering from "death via food poisoning"
i wonder how that happened
so it’s not confirmed lugoli was cooking sentient bugs
no clue
i mean
it's... possible, but not confirmed no
the muckmaggots they send at you are alive
TRUE
yes but muckroaches aren’t sentient
poggy thorax vs lugoli
they’re bred for food
yes but they were alive not dead
so likely similar logic would apply to whatever else he served 
what even are the muckmaggots Why do they become muckroaches and not muckflies like theyre supposed to
they ate sentient bugs
hk biology is weird
ew
huh
There are pilgrims and even roachcatchers in pickling jars
they also become piranhas
look in the jars
preserved
shoot what
these bugs are clearly not being eaten
Yeah they pickle their own coworkers or whatever
im pretty sure those are adolescent muckroaches
you can’t blame the haunting for that because the haunting lets bugs keep their previous behaviour
needolin dialogue in that room says otherwise
and their whole thing in the needolin dialogue up there about preserving them
so lugoli really was cooking sentient bugs
citadel: we enjoy enslavement and genocide, but cannibalism? that’s weird, get out
it literally says they're PRESERVED
eating is not preserving
Lugoli didn’t do that when haunted they did it for the love of the game
"This holy taste..."
lick
but the memorium also displays taxidermied roach catchers
i think its really funny that the other chefs immediately just start cooking lugoli instead of mourning them they dgaf
that's different
and pilgrims
taxidermies of their fucking workers is wild man
that's a trophy wall
exactly I still don’t understand it
of their own workers...
They have a taxidermied Winged Pilgrim Bellbearer
I get why they’d display a stuffed stilkin but why a roach catcher?????
Verdania: Destined to be forgotten
I get it's like
collection shit
specimins
do you think the roachcatcher died of natural causes before getting stuffed
Who is the only pilgrim variant to be part of the “higher choir” like envoys and reeds
but like, museums don't have taxidermy humans mounted to the walls lmfao
I mean given the conditions of sinner’s road probably
oh true
Why did they give that role to WPB anyways
they made it to the citadel after all 
“Yo nice bell. You’re promoted”
wings > not wings
I mean, all the high halls bugs can fly
the envoys and reeds canonically used to be pilgrims as well I think
they just don’t look similar
True
like the underworks bugs don’t look like pilgrims either
not all of em
Yeah some underworks bugs dont resemble pilgrims
the choir bugs in there do
choir clapper
ahhh true
something something argument that they're only at the bottom of high halls
low halls
but so is Ballador, then
if lace ever found ballador she would’ve cut the thread keeping him alive and left
when do the guys give you tacks die
act 3
act 3
their idiot cave collapses
🐌 😔
aaaahhhh i want tacks for high hall but i dont wanna deal with the mfs
guys what is good in the wormways
plasmium and lore
Nothing much what about you
It’s just a quest about killing the roach things.
sharpdart and lifeblood
ye i dont wanna fight the roach thing
Just plasmium phial and sharpdart
they are disgusting and i am worried to mess up
do you have needle strike
So I remember flea juggle being harder than being locked in a godhome mawlek sized room with 4 widows
In my new save I immediately grabbed silksoar, pale nails, and shaman crest, thats all I did before flea games and with shaman crest I did juggle on my first try
You only need to kill 10 and they’re easy by themself
Also use your silk skills, spear works
not yet i havnt go to pintress
Slk skills like silkspear not needle strike
lace was asking me needle strike
can you one shot the roaches with spear with one needle upgrade
in other words: pick them off one at a time
Beat fourth chorus hitless and ngl, made me realize fourth chorus is really not that good in replays imo, hopefully we get a rematch with all our abilities in dlc
Leaves them at 23 hp
Most of the fight was spent hoping my controller wouldn't drift
Fourth chorus with that one moving platform that connects marrow and deep docks
Interesting...
We already have a perfect area for a fourth chorus rematch
The underworks, it has lava like its arena in far fields and we see other choruses there
Also the underworks doesn't have any bosses weirdly
4th chorus even on fp for me was so beyond mid
memory refight
And I say that not knowing how to do quick kill or skip
i dont think fourth chorus is that different from the unactivated choruses
It is more spectacle than fight unfortunetly
How did 4c's legs not melt in the magma
Same reason hornet is fine wearing a fur coat next to lava
Erm, guys?
Whats your opinion on weird route in deltarune
You might want to take a look at this...
Since youre all snow themed
ITS THE BEST ROUTE
Oh ok
I-Is that the SIlk Ring...?
You got it wrong
Dude I keep not opening the marrow gate and still sherma keeps appearing in far fields
i'm ngl
He's that powerful
I like evil routes that try and guilt-trip you for the consequences of your actions but when they are so obscured that you can't feasibly stumble upon them without the help of guides it kinda feels a bit video gamey to me
Like I'm doing a challenge run instead of engaging with the story
Not anymore
i like the weird route, the chapter 4 reveal that berdly is alive kinda hurts the stakes but im excited to see what happens when he wakes up
THE FORBIDDEN PATH BEGINS WITH ICE MAGIC
OK OK I should clarify this is just my experience with Ch1/2
I haven't played 3/4
oh damn mb
Ch3 gives you a huge hint for how to activate it
That being
bro didn't play chapter 3
also hi star!
Patoo wsg
I'm really tired! and the school year starts again for me tomorrow!
Clawline is so nice for first sinner
Also ch4 leads to cinema in WR
Aw gl 😔
It is a ch4 normal route spoiler so i do recommend you play through normally
Rip time for the curior rasher
so fucking peak
I hate that quest
Whats the best route
thanks star, I'm hoping for the best but it's definitely gonna be a rough time
Must've been the wind
I need image_friend to show up please
he already has dawg
I need more
Shellwood/Blasted Steps/Citadel imo
I want them to reveal that Dess went through her own weird route to become the roaring knight
a thoughtless silent servant to the prophecy
and Noelle is becoming a second knight
and image_friend targets the holiday family for some reason
wdym reveal berdly is alive
in the hospital you can check on him and he's alive just comatosed
oh
kris took him to the hospital supposedly
was that after chapter 2 or after chapter 3 I forgot
Both
after chapter 2 presumably, i suppose it's ambiguous if it was chapter 3
Oh my god dude I forgot how much I hate those fatass crows
Alright you can be unignored now lace you've earned it
I love deltarune
: D
Probably the worst enemy in silksong
Squat crow hate makes no sense to me
tarmites, spit squits, stilkin, gloomsacs
alitas and the flying coral tower enemies ragebaited me in my first playtrhough
real
The Sands of Karak in Silksong present themselves as a paradoxical ossuary of coral lattices and desiccated twigs, each brittle filament emitting a percussive snap beneath one’s tread — a soundscape as fragile as it is accusatory. The terrain is less aeolian than biogenic: calcified coral outcrops proliferate in intricate, reef-like geometries, suggesting a marine provenance now grotesquely estranged from water. Amid this skeletal detritus, shell-clad creatures traverse the vermilion expanse, their carapaces refracting the area’s startlingly vibrant reds — hues that feel less decorative than hemorrhagic, saturating the environment with an almost operatic intensity. I am curious whether this chromatic luxuriance and tactile brittleness are meant to destabilize our expectations of “desert” as lifelessness; is Karak a necropolis, or is it in fact an ecosystem defiantly flourishing in the aftermath of some primordial cataclysm?
ok
You asked chatgpt to write this
is it generally agreed the citadel caused karak to dry out
Yeah
Grok summarise ts message pls
it's ambiguous whether it was the stone citadel or the gilded citadel but yeah
My favorite theory is that they used the coral to make rosaries
what’s the difference what
do you mean weaver rule vs conductor rule
stone citadel was weaver rule, gilded was condcutor rule
His source is that he made it the fuck up
gilded is a descriptor for the post-conductor citadel, stone and unadorned is a descriptor for the pre-conductor citadel
pious isamor is the one who calls it unadorned and stone
damn near everyone calls it gilded
so it was the weavers who made underworks
afaik yeah
Ips underworks was a cave system that gilded just made into what it is now
she's a child abuser, enslaver, murderer, tyrant
Don't say that about my girlfriend
basically Hornet overthrown a terrible government
Im shooting your girlfriend
Lasted longer than hallownest btw
not sure about that one

Hallownest is literally the eternal kingdom dude
brainwashed people. abusing work force. classes. elites. and only a few are daring to actually take her down.
Why do people call the knight "the hollow knight" but they dont call hornet "the silksong"
Proof
i call hornet the silksong fym
what do you mean people dont call her silksong??
I don't see it happen much
wait what would they call HK then?
Nobody calls the knight thk
do you think lace killed the other sentinels
Nice propaganda
Yeah they do
this is interesting
it means either the weavers would not agree with the luxury the conductors of the citadel took up
or that they’re hypocrites and only told this to the pilgrims so that they would be okay with poverty in the underworks
Then they’re uneducated
i recall perfectly someone calling her "la silson" when seeing her on hk
were the weavers really enslaved though
i wonder whats the full complete dialogue of it
i mean, kinda, but she's also working on enslaving pilgrims
i can see "adorned" and "our"
queen
it's red because he wants to kill you
do you mean the haunting
yes the entire goal of the haunting is to wake to merge pilgrims into a hivemind and have them devote eternally
she also presumably mutilated widow and made her serve her which is basically slavery too
Pious Isamor wasn't esoteric enough he should start rambling about the 39 states of existence
well that was secondary
the main goal was to wake up
yeah so she could get to enslaving people
I’m pretty sure that was the weavers who mutilated her for staying loyal to gms
widow continued serving gms by choice
did she enslave anyone before she was imprisoned
again I’m not sure if the weavers were enslaved, there’s not enough information
arguably the weavers, their entire thing was making weavenests to be free
Here’s a thought given the nature of silk what if gms was also being haunted
she's the source of the haunting
she is Silk
Wait why was widow never given a normal mask by the time we reach her
grand mother silk brings a strange hypothetical: if you were suffering a fate worse than death, how many others should justifiably die to bring your freedom
And the haunting is a product of silk itself rather than her
She is silk
forcibly removed by Weavers for being loyal to GMS
it was long ago
weaver masks are naturally formed
if our information is from the weavers’ own words, they would be biased
silksong confirms that mask and natural shells are interchangeable
Yeah but like why not give her a real non cloth mask after It eventually
our only information is from the weavers words, and it's never challenged so it would be unreasonable to assume it's incorrect
ig she liked it being bare
weavers were already either dead or gone by then
Mask maker
she prolly dont even know who mask maker is 😭 by that point in the game she's already focused on serving gms and ensnaring bellhart
mask makers are usually hidden from most bug's sights
I think most bugs know about mask makers
Tipp and pill
they probably got contacted
mask maker directly requested the lacquer, tipp and pill deliver stuff
hornet is the door dasher
whenever i see the courier design, i keep confusing their noses as their eyes
and their eyes as some sort of headphones
The mask makers just arent described as hidden enough for most bugs to not know them
"serves us all"
ok maybe Widow just likes having a bare face ig
Wasn't Widows situation a punishment of some kind or something?
did grand mother silk deserve to be imprisoned
Yeah
But the punishers arent there anymore
I think one of the most humanising traits of grand mother silk is that while she was consuming weaver descendants to try to wake up, she never tried to take widow’s power
it shows she appreciates her staying loyal
wait why is she called "Widow" in the first place?
because her husband died
she was married to pale king
damn she wanted to try it out after Herrah
did grand mother silk deserve to be imprisoned
I'd say the most humanising trait of Gilf Silk is sacrificing herself to help Hornet save Lace
yes that’s the most
Stop using your kids account silk mom
To answer that question tho
I think its very complicated from what I know
Cop out it may be
Both sides of that were kinda in the wrong
imo it largely depends on how she treated the weavers because that’s the only possibly bad thing she did before being imprisoned
I think being permanently put to sleep while somehow still conscious is a fate worse than death
so the haunting is sort of more justified than the infection was
paralysis is accurate
The Radiance at least deserved to be imprisoned
But we only really know of GMS deceiving the weavers and whatever happened to Sinner
radiance really didn’t need to kill anyone, if she wanted to be remembered, killing would contradict that
she killed because she was angry
do i get anything special for unlocking all the bellways
I assume she wasnt conscious until the citadel's song started changing
childish tantrum
when did the song change
now everyone wants her to be forgotten
You get to make bell beast happy
also achievement afaik
yes you go to bell beast nest where bell beast reconciles with her ex husband bell eater and they agree on shared custody of the children
Silk eaters are weird creatures
where the hell is bell beast nest
top of howling cliffs
||does he know||
As if
Brll Eater is a deadbeat
They have queens like colonies
Dont get haunted
Dont attack hornet
i mean, they eat silk
Yeah how the fuck does that work
theyre just simple creatures that want to eat and collect silk
silk eaters are the only thing hornet eats in the game btw
eats or... squish?
they seem like something she’d eat
yay i delivered the rasher
nice
gng
i hate that quest
i almost get a heart attack every time
you can clear out the path prior and not sit on a bench
Thats tge timed one yah?
yeah she eats them
do silkeaters gain nutrition from soul
I wonder if they taste good to her
yea
The rasher wasnt actually that hard
Took maybe 2 tries?
They probably have a really weird texture
3?
Its been a bit
well, she does get full spools of silk after consuming. maybe
500kcal
do you think hornet dislikes the taste of muckroaches
she seemed like the type of person who eats everything to me
whats the nutritional facts for a silkeater
I want more silkeater queen lore
0.9 grams of silk
how many calories
Probably a calorie
damn
What are Full grown silk eaters
probably large worm
Because we never see any real silkeater habitat
Outside styx's silkeater queens we wouldnt even know they have colonies
yeah
Why is there only 2 silkeater queens we know of in pharloom and theyre both with a guy that doesnt even care about silk that much
Are silkeaters meant to eat non magical silk
wait 2?
One to start the colony
ah
One we give him to expand
Presumably at least
the weird thing is that silkeaters retrieve your cocoon regardless of distance
its already weird itself
The great distance it speaks of is the entire country!
How do silkeaters consume more soul (by body weight) than the sanctum bugs and groal and stay completely fine
We have butterflies and moths in hk... do they make magical silk too?
I dont think so
Styx seems to have a nest of non magical silk thats also new
Silk made out of soul is probably an outlier of regular silk producing bugs
Its weird the entire silkeater ecosystem is basically just styx
He is the only predator of them
The only place fully habitable for a full colony to start
Maybe thats why the queens egg isnt asked to be fed to skynx in steel soul
Styx is the only place they could be sustained
I think silkeaters are going extinct because the soul based silk is slowly killing them
So like, I beat up my grandmother who is coincidentally named GRAND MOTHER, and i’m not in act 3 yet just to find out I need every side mission 😭
Everywhere they grow the silk doesnt have soul
Grand as in “the highest” not grand like grandparent
I know
Also
im fighting a modded GMS
The silk they use for cocoons isnt black threadable
that’s why I said coincidentally
It doesnt have soul normally the silkeaters are being poisoned with soul based silk
Thank you for my coming to my silkeater ted talk
What does the mod do
Absolute Silk Weaver
Use coupon code ":3" on silkmorsel.shop for 15% off your next batch of morsels

Wish I could mod on the switch 2
Pretty sure that would brick it tho
yeah i play pc
I think styx might be a full grown silk eater
He recognizes the silk in the needolin
No face
No other matching species
"Our nest, our haven..."
He litterally nests in silk
Also haunting immunity while being surrounded by comically large amounts of silk
He knows the entirety of pharloom is covered in black thread while hidinh in his nest
Like if he could sense the silk
oh hi
man i thought if i talked they would fight me so i went to goto a bench
so i just missed some talking
what do they even say
"who to be
The one who breeds (silk eater Queen)
The one who serves (normal silk eater)"
smth smth citadel ruined his life
you should visit cogwork core
ok
Team cherry give me styx lore and my life is yours
Trying to No-Hit ||Karmelita||, I'm in pain
Skill issue
Hornet opens a dark fountain in chat
Only mf I seen go on a 30 minute rant about the slave and then ask for lore
This is canon btw
We deserve more styx lore
Hornet actually created a dark fountain
Why does Whiteward have a massive pile of corpses
I get it’s there for shock value but there’s a crematorium right there
How tf do you taunt bro ive been trying to do it for like a week
Just garama
Press the button that makes you go gatema
Imma get your fountain-making ass
The what
Snack
Ok ive found out
Styx
I am genuinely nuking every boss that killed me in steel soul with architect in this steel soul run
guessing it's because of how the silk siphon works
HOW DO I GOTO THE FLEA
I assume it completely extracts all silk from the host, so they don't have to be cremated in order for silk to be retrieved
Maybe the corpses are poor pilgrims that got killed by whatever happened to the people in the whiteward
the ones in the hidden room are there because of the silk siphon
climb the wall
Maybe not “have to”, but it just seems lazy to not cremate corpses to keep the place clean
I DID IT LADS! I BEAT THE GAME FIANLLY
And how was the final boss?
god she kicked my arse for the last 3 days
Can you say who is "she"?
42 hours. 91% completion
The one that’s capable of kicking anyone’s arse
Light work. THIS ONE
You are right the first one isn't
2 hours I've been at it tonight
And I just did it. Holy moly
Time to get 100% HEEHEEHEEHA
Well, Karmelita is my new favorite boss
I love karmelita
Im praying we get a good home equivalent so I can just fight her again.
Am I crazy in saying, karmelita is this games version of grimm so far. Gorgeous fight. Hard for the first time you fight her, but once you get the hang of it it's a genuinely good fight
Good home
w autocorrect
I got that impression too
i almost died in cogwork dancer holy fuck
she's like an eh figth
my facture musk broke
not a really memorable part of my playthrough
thank god i didnt panic and get a heal off
easiest out of the 4
For me that was the clover dancers
I beat them first try, though they are a carbon copy of cogwork dancers
What is my phone doing rn
W. Pop off twin
I still haven't fought and beat coral tower yet 💔
Burning opinion
Final boss killed, coral tower remains
Wanderer suckass
well the clover dancers are the second easiest
hello... my fellow wanderer slanderer. it seems i'm not alone in this journey
True
I like wanderers crest :(
fellow? Who are you.
coral tower is just so much better, epic, and has better lore. seth is such a memorable fight, he's beautiful and his story ingame and irl are both sad.
it's a lot different
well i do all of my wanderer slander in the other ss discord server
I don't mean the fight itself I mean the feel of the boss.
i'm also very well known for spamming a wanderer slander image
i think karmelita for 1 is really unpredictable and easy to die against
I actually don't like when wanderer is used to facetank too
Is the hunter's crest and architect's crest on a similar power level? Or is one outright better than the other
karmeli - frame 1 backstep merchant - ta
what about beast and architects, aren't those the true cheese crests
You'd hate my play style then
and the clover dancers are also sick as hell. khann, seth and the dancers felt so much more impactful in terms of lore and their fights (khann's gauntlets)
Architect is just op
Karmelita and NKG have the best overall presentations. The music, choreography-esque fight, perfectly balanced. They're perfect
architect is sweaty and uses WAY too many shell shards, makes the game boring and mundane and has a HORRIBLE nail moveset. hunters is just normally better, but architects has more damage overall
Karmellita is gonna be hell in the pantheons
everyone pretty much agrees that architects is the most broken. if we're not counting tool abuse it's probably hunters, witch or shaman depending on how much you heal
Beast is built for facetank, which many wanderer users try to mimic
Architect isn't a crest issue, it's a red tool issue 
Oh 100% we're cooked
Tbf look at half of pharloom. We're cooked anyway
karmelita is going to be in pantheon four that's for sure
Architect it's stronger and boring af
I reckon they'll split it up into acts. So act 1 2 and 3
or maybe p3 if team cherry decides to go in another order
Mmm, okay, but hunter's is more fun then?
wait so will red tools count in pharloom godhome
