[smoky bridge]

Yk

[unkempt steeple]

But more than just silk

[earnest drift]

she's a good mom but almost certainly a horrible person

hornet is a mass murderer as well

[harsh yarrow]

Eva has a cool design

[earnest drift]

the candidate for most morally good weaver we have is first sinner because she was imprisoned by the other weavers but even then we don't know shit about her

[solid grail]

There is not enough lore

[earnest drift]

widow is a horrible person but unironically she's better than the weavers who made the citadel

[smoky bridge]

GMS fucked up by picking the single most agresisve vicious and territorial species to uplift.

[copper hedge]

egg

[smoky bridge]

Like girlll

[unkempt steeple]

Cardinius was right to be rude to hornet

[harsh yarrow]

Shes clearly more Weaver than Hornet, has the 4 legs 2 arms setup

[smoky bridge]

What was the plannn

[distant prawn]

tuff

[copper hedge]

i wonder how was GMS's thought process on making her silk children

[earnest drift]

grand mother silk if she uplifted silkworms instead of spiders

[harsh yarrow]

A child spun pure and loyal from her silk directly

Least, thats what Lace thinks

[hybrid flare]

I mean that's what she intended yeah

a child that also remembered her existence

[copper hedge]

very interesting that silk can still retain memories

[smoky bridge]

Pharlid needolin song

[copper hedge]

that would mean silk is a cool storage medium

[harsh yarrow]

The Citadel never forgot GMS

[hybrid flare]

silk is soul and essence is found within the soul

[unkempt steeple]

I wonder what weavers thought of pharlids

[hybrid flare]

The common bugs didnt realize until much later

[harsh yarrow]

The Pilgrims never knew she existed, the Conductors were well aware of her

[smoky bridge]

No surprise when they were elevated to sentience they immediately went for
"this is My shit. My stuff. My machines! Those are my machines!"

[earnest drift]

what exactly about act 3 is badly written again
all i see is people saying that it overdoes references to hk but that's not the same as having a nonsensical story

[broken seal]

if she uplifted muckmaggots

[hybrid flare]

They kept it as a secret even from other high ranking members such as the pontiff

[hybrid flare]

Old hearts are just there and they're nothing of substance

[harsh yarrow]

It kinda backloads all of Hornets character development to right in Red Memory, Vespa really could've done with more as right now shes just sorta... there

[earnest drift]

fair

[smoky bridge]

They're there to show how much devastation the citadel brought.

[unkempt steeple]

Why didn't she just marry karmelita to be the skarr's step mom

[harsh yarrow]

The Old Hearts really could've done with more time in the oven

[hybrid flare]

I mean not really? act 3 happens because hornet starts to really care about the kingdom

[smoky bridge]

But yeah.

[broken seal]

GMS is home of phobic

[smoky bridge]

People keep saying hornet only suddenly cares in act 3 but that's literally false

[hybrid flare]

also the citadel is out of the question now but i'd argue the focus of the game was always gms

[rocky jolt]

https://tenor.com/bYPnG.gif

[hybrid flare]

She overcomes her evil desires in act 3

[earnest drift]

how come? hornet's overall arc is finding it in herself to care about helping and saving the people of pharloom, which is spread throughout act 2 and culminates in act 3
what about her development gets crammed into red memory?

[copper hedge]

"this kingdom is mine"
"and this cool cradle sign"
"the lands that exist, and the cool religion they made"
"they're all mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!"

[hybrid flare]

red memory's cool but retcon retcon

[harsh yarrow]

Yeah, should've stated that was the common complaint with Red Memory

[earnest drift]

the requirements for act 3 literally involves caring about others and doing their quests 💀

[harsh yarrow]

retcons arent bad
especially the ones made in Red Memory

[earnest drift]

so is hornet's development rushed within red memory or what

[hybrid flare]

The everbloom being the only thing keeping pale family away from the void is pretty nonsensical

But herrah being a weaver def adds to the story

[harsh yarrow]

Eh

[copper hedge]

inaccurate everbloom: it doesnt get destroyed on impact

[smoky bridge]

They set it up in godhome thoo

[harsh yarrow]

Not really? The Void is clearly capable of killing pale beings

[earnest drift]

wdym

[hybrid flare]

Yeah but the lighthouse was enough to quell the main pool sooo

[unkempt steeple]

Silksong sucks bc we don't get to see the last stag in red memory

[rocky jolt]

yall say they retconned herrah because in hollow knight she was called a "common beast" but first sinners dialogue implies the weavers arent divine at all and are just regular bugs

[hybrid flare]

We don't see any of these "delicate" flowers in places where they should've been if that was the case

[copper hedge]

imagine a new challenge mod that simply makes the everbloom behave like the fragile flower so youre forced to do hitless all run since

[smoky bridge]

I wonder what that was made from.

[hybrid flare]

It's mainly about how she looks

[hybrid flare]

Big cluster of lumas you can see it yourself

[earnest drift]

btw the conversation hornet has with white lady isn't a memory, white lady is speaking to her live via a memory

[hybrid flare]

interesting

[rocky jolt]

ok but of course they didnt have the entirety of weaver lore settled in the first game

[stiff night]

yo guys whats the conversation abt?

[smoky bridge]

This isn't like leading question snark, just wondering on the logistics of the lighthouse.

[hybrid flare]

Or is hornet's consciousness larping as the white lady

[modest pier]

I think people are a little happy to throw the word “retcon” around sometimes

[hybrid flare]

Yeah. but they exist

[unkempt steeple]

White lady upscale

[smoky bridge]

Oh shit she's doing the gag/joke.

[stable mica]

wait rlly?

[unkempt steeple]

People think retcons are inherently bad

[earnest drift]

yes, white lady is alive and speaking to hornet

[harsh yarrow]

People throw "retcon" around when it comes to Silksongs lore like theyre a bad thing

[smoky bridge]

"By the way This isn't a flash back I'm astral projecting. Hi! 👋 :)"

[harsh yarrow]

they're not, they can add to a story, and provide clarity

[hybrid flare]

I don't know how that would work, i'll take the hornet mind larping

[unkempt steeple]

People hear retcon and assume "beloved plot/lore detail was removed/changed becuse the writers are hacks"

[earnest drift]

yeah ig her wording is strange because they weren't actually using the delicate flowers

[earnest drift]

pale being powers

[stable mica]

oh yeah, i do wonder where and what happened to the White Lady after the events on HK

[hybrid flare]

I hope you realize that using this as an excuse for something not explained is pretty weak

[smoky bridge]

I like the theory that Hornet and Knight both have a weaker version Of Pale King's Premonition.

[earnest drift]

yes i know

[harsh yarrow]

Memory lore has always been poorly explained

Its nothing new to Silksong

[smoky bridge]

I mean. The characters we delve into usually can talk to hornet in the memories.

[hybrid flare]

The everbloom is probably specifically stronger because of.. uh..

[earnest drift]

how did pale king shove his palace into a dream since when could he do that

[smoky bridge]

How exactly that works when the memory is hers...

[harsh yarrow]

The White Lady was able to actively evade the Godseekers attuning to her

[smoky bridge]

It's stronger because Hornet remembers it as such.

[earnest drift]

and yes i found the idea of bringing physical objects from a dream/memory into reality a bit out of nowhere

[hybrid flare]

true

[earnest drift]

hk had the dreamnail and void but those are more metaphysical than a flower

[hybrid flare]

The pale king bit is interesting

[smoky bridge]

Or maybe they became weaker overtime.

[earnest drift]

people say this is ooc because hornet was never shown to be afraid of the void before
...but also she killed dozens of void beings because she was scared of what they'd do to hallownest so i think that counts

[copper hedge]

maybe the silk manifested it to make it stronger

[hybrid flare]

she IS afraid of the void when it's an active threat to literally everything and everyone

[harsh yarrow]

The Knight does go into memories and comes out with essence, not really the same thing but it does prove some ability to dive into a memory and come out with something

[earnest drift]

yes but again that's more metaphysical than a flower or a heart

[hybrid flare]

Essence's like, the bridge

[smoky bridge]

She gets it from her memories because she remembers it as something powerfull.

[earnest drift]

although the knight gets void heart from a dream as well

and the pale king's kingsoul half technically comes from a dream

[copper hedge]

also explains why the hearts are still beating longer than usual

[smoky bridge]

The nail is partly a physical object tho. It has a handle.

[hybrid flare]

This is a physical object located in a dream doesn't count as metaphysical

[earnest drift]

ok so it was foreshadowed with kingsoul

and white palace in general because it's a physical palace shoved into a dream

[harsh yarrow]

oh shit right

[smoky bridge]

So we get the dreamnail and the kingsoul

Also the lifeblood core.

[harsh yarrow]

The Knight gets half the Kingsoul from a dream

[smoky bridge]

Lifeblood core is also in a dream location.

[harsh yarrow]

forgot about that

[earnest drift]

where do we get lifeblood core from again

[radiant quail]

GUYYYYSSSS SEA OF SORROW NEWS LET'S GOOOOOOOO

[smoky bridge]

It's just... Adjacent to reality.

[distant prawn]

huh

[smoky bridge]

The lifeblood room in abyss.

[copper hedge]

yes we know :)

[smoky bridge]

The big door you gotta shoot up lots of lifeblood to enter.

[copper hedge]

sea of sorrow tomorrow

[earnest drift]

that was in a dream?

[distant prawn]

What Fr

[rocky jolt]

the abyss lifeblood room is like half physical and half in the dream realm

[copper hedge]

for some reason yes

[earnest drift]

i don't remember uhhh

[smoky bridge]

The deeper you go the more essence particles are around and at the bottom there is a dream hazard pit that makes the knight wake up in front of the door.

[copper hedge]

essence particles

[earnest drift]

OH YEAH

[rocky jolt]

because you dont use the dream nail to enter it

[earnest drift]

i remember now

[rose forge]

Hello chat what are we discussing

[earnest drift]

you can get an arcane egg from there as well

[copper hedge]

silksong

[copper hedge]

tfw you missed it 😔

[smoky bridge]

The whole room is like a bridge between reality and the dream :)

[rose forge]

Oh boring.

[weary dune]

do you like to using the witch crest?

[earnest drift]

whether hornet retrieving a physical flower from her memory was bullshit or not

[copper hedge]

sea of sorrow soon tho

[earnest drift]

turns out it was foreshadowed in hollow knight quite a bit

[hybrid flare]

It's technically not the same compared to smt like the white palace

[smoky bridge]

Mm... They're handing out orangeade.

[rose forge]

NOT BORING.

[copper hedge]

man imagine having that kind of ability.

[earnest drift]

why not

[hybrid flare]

the flower wasn't physically stored in the memory

[smoky bridge]

But they're JW ;^;

[copper hedge]

yay

[rose forge]

Shaman Crest Deleted Method

[harsh yarrow]

it was though

[distant prawn]

City and Defender's Crest Next DLC crests

silksong.exe

[rose forge]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-isamor-pious-isamor-bug-hollow-knight-gif-17425660267368156915

[earnest drift]

the point is that solid, physical objects were already shown to be put inside dreams and retrieved from dreams in hollow knight
so doing the same thing in silksong wasn't out of nowhere

[rocky jolt]

lets see what hunter thinks of dung defender

[hybrid flare]

It wasn't, the flower isn't a physical object in a memory, it's something that appears out of it

[harsh yarrow]

But it is

[copper hedge]

the ability to retrieve something from either a dream or a memory is such a cool ability ngl

you can finally get your old iPad that had cool 32-bit games before Apple removed it for 64-bit.

[harsh yarrow]

The Everbloom is a physical object within a dream

[smoky bridge]

The same could be true of the dream nail and the lifeblood core tho.

[rose forge]

I played 67-bit games

[smoky bridge]

We just don't know how they were made.

[hybrid flare]

It's not the same as the white palace

[harsh yarrow]

which through magic and the shamans Hornet pulls from it

[rocky jolt]

the delicate flower is just a serene object

[harsh yarrow]

Like the Knight and the half the Kingsoul

[hybrid flare]

That isn't the case for the everbloom though, the everbloom wasn't stored in hornet's memory coming from the physical world

[harsh yarrow]

Which, for all we know, is a memory of that half of the Kingsoul

[copper hedge]

"there is only one left of them"
breaks flower again
more of them

[hybrid flare]

The half kingsoul was brought with the palace into the dream, it is not a product of it

[distant prawn]

Pious Isamor thank you

[earnest drift]

considering that white lady is speaking to her live, could she be picking up a real delicate flower from her end and passing it to her via the dream?

[smoky bridge]

"you little shit... I have a backup, but still"

[rocky jolt]

grey mourner: the devs told me its for "gameplay purposes"!!

[distant prawn]

Why is Yuri bug recieving Divinest Info

[hybrid flare]

I don't think the white lady is, the memory is hornet's own after all, and no that's just bs

[copper hedge]

ghost (if they had a mouth to speak): "so, are you okay if i have a skill issue on the way?"

[rocky jolt]

"devs" in this sense is mr mushroom

[copper hedge]

tfw when you bumped on a wall accidentally

[earnest drift]

she says "wrest it from this rembrance" so the real white lady is seaking to hornet somehow
yes it's a little bullshit but it's not totally unexpected

[rocky jolt]

mfs when fiction has fictional elements

[smoky bridge]

Pale mourner is really deeply unserious because of gameplay mechanics ngl

[solid grail]

Some beings are just self-aware like that

Pale Mourner should revitalize the flower instead of giving you a new one

[harsh yarrow]

Like.... Hornet
...and Grimm
...and the White Lady

[hybrid flare]

This could be a manifestation of how hornet expects the white lady to speak to her, this memory is also a blend of reality and dreams because of how weird it is compared to other memories

[smoky bridge]

I mean the Idea that Hornet's memory is Roleplaying as the white lady is equally funny Ngl

[copper hedge]

"WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS???"
"idk man"
"here. please get good"
"shit i broke it again ;-;"
"WHYYYY"

[hybrid flare]

I'd say this is more realistic

[earnest drift]

i need to sleep now goodnight

[rocky jolt]

maybe act 3 wouldnt have happened if zemer wasnt being such a lazy grieving bum in a ruined kingdom

[distant prawn]

gn

[smoky bridge]

But I still see no reason to act as if getting the flower from the memory is a super big plot hole out of nowhere.

[harsh yarrow]

a headcannon is fine, but thats not really what the game is implying

[copper hedge]

ight gn guys

[copper hedge]

i also threw up recently. ugh

Just beat Silksong, grandmother silk was really easy tbh

[odd hull]

Indeed

[full turret]

Also where can you check your percentage? I'm curious to see how much of the game I missed lol

[timid sky]

Lategame

[odd hull]

You need to play a bit more. I suggest doing all quests left first

Alr thanks

[toxic vigil]

Hi

[full turret]

Nah spoilers are okay with me

gtg

[odd hull]

Hello

[toxic vigil]

Sea of sorrow needs to add more yellows

12 is just nothing

Esp when 2/3 are useless

[timid sky]

13

[patent jacinth]

does someone have a good guide for 100%

[toxic vigil]

Ik shell satchel exists. However dead bug's purse is a fake tool

[timid sky]

So is spider strings

[patent jacinth]

i hate nkg too!!!

yaghoo

[toxic vigil]

Yeah 2/3s are either money or useless

[patent jacinth]

i was forced to for every achivement but its ALRIGHT HAHAHA

[agile wing]

Skong

[toxic vigil]

I mean satchel, dice, compass, belt
And bracelet if you go for no hits
Everything else money or useless

Compass is also utility so

[timid sky]

But anklets and grip

[toxic vigil]

Grip is so annoying

[timid sky]

Not always

[toxic vigil]

It just messes with me

Anklets are utility like compass for exploring

[timid sky]

Can be very useful in platforming

[lucid trellis]

i always tend to have grip, dice, and compass when exploring

[timid sky]

I don't use compass

Ever

[lucid trellis]

i swap compass for belt for bosses and stuff tho

and my build for grinding rosaries is completely different

[toxic vigil]

No its annoying

[lucid trellis]

I wish i could see how may times ive killed a specific type of enemy just to see how many grand reeds ive killed

[whole wind]

Who's excited for Hollow Knight: Zoteboat

[timid sky]

I have dice on vesticrest and usually grip and anklets, with brooch or belt if i'm on wanderer

[trim scarab]

I only used it on my first playthrough and that was it

[timid sky]

I only used it during act 1 first playthrough i think

[lucid trellis]

it has to be like, around 50 or more at this point

[whole wind]

Compass is literally the most OP tool in the game frfr

[timid sky]

Simply because there weren't much better options

[whole wind]

Not quite as good as HK compass but still

[toxic vigil]

You use grip and anklets yet no belt?

[timid sky]

Yes

[trim scarab]

Belt increases invincibility frames, it’s almost an essential

[timid sky]

Not by much

[whole wind]

The only time I've ever used Anklets was to get the ||Weavenest secret||

[odd hull]

oky, search for the fleas too

[lucid trellis]

i just wish act 3 didnt kill off most of the grand reeds near songclave

[odd hull]

I always use it

[whole wind]

I just never found it very useful, I started using skills a lot more

[toxic vigil]

I tried anklets as a genuine yellow slot fill and they do NOTHING

[light swan]

yes, it’s definitely my favorite crest by far

[lucid trellis]

Makes grinding a nightmare

[whole wind]

Anklets use silk to make you run much faster

[raw pawn]

Found this so funny for some reason

[toxic vigil]

1. They use barely any
2. When is that usefull

[whole wind]

Idk, it probably fits some playstyles but it's not my thing personally

[toxic vigil]

99% you don't buy anything in act 3

[arctic epoch]

kinda my issue with Silksong, lots of thing just exist to not exist

[lucid trellis]

shard bundles

[toxic vigil]

Just leftovers from act 2

[toxic vigil]

Oh. Ig

[lucid trellis]

im an arc main

[whole wind]

And I run quite a lot during boss fights so it'd probably use a good amount of silk for me

[raw pawn]

Shard pendant is prob the most useless tool in this game after spider strings

[odd hull]

34% more speed, I like running fast.

[toxic vigil]

I mean its usefull for exploring, not combat.

[raw pawn]

I used anklets for courier's rasher

[whole wind]

Yellow tool?

[toxic vigil]

Dead bug's purse
Wispfire lantern

[timid sky]

The humble wispfire lantern:

[raw pawn]

Wispfire lantern is not useless tho

[lucid trellis]

AKA: I love the bellhart vendors infinite shard bundles

[timid sky]

They're like grimmchild

Their aim is terrible

[whole wind]

Whispfire lantern has worse aim than grimmchild

[toxic vigil]

Its like if gwomb and grimm had a child

[odd hull]

Like most yellow tools?

[toxic vigil]

Its actively detrimental

[raw pawn]

Cogflies do the job of wispfire lantern better without consuming silk tho

[whole wind]

I used it once and it legit flew 500 ft away from the only enemy in the room

[trim scarab]

Architect crest may get some use though, I’d argue the dead bug purse is worse

[lucid trellis]

i only use it when grinding rosaries sice im killing dozens of enemies anyway and the extra shards are nice

[whole wind]

The only downside is they're very limited

[timid sky]

Shard pendant is useless when you have rosaries

[toxic vigil]

Yeah thats the thing about literally 2/3s yellows

[lucid trellis]

craftbind:

[timid sky]

Like just buy bundles atp

[odd hull]

What's the problem then?

[raw pawn]

I don't like using architect honestly

[toxic vigil]

Just bc most other stuff is useless dosen't make anklets not.

[raw pawn]

I like using hunter

[toxic vigil]

I like hunter and wanderer

[lucid trellis]

it's useful when your grinding for rosasires for bundles and want the extra shards

[toxic vigil]

And a bit of witch.
My most hated are shaman and architect

[odd hull]

It's not useless tho? It's a metroidvania, about exploring. Tools that help you navigate are useful.

[raw pawn]

I like losing my focus because of contact damage 🥀

[trim scarab]

I use beast for combat and wanderer for parkour and exploration

[leaden kelp]

Ngl I'm so happy that the Second Sentinel doesn't die in our fight

i like him

[raw pawn]

Hornet doesn't kill people she like/respect in her fights

[leaden kelp]

still

[odd hull]

Second Sentinel is the goat, I like them a lot

[chilly mountain]

just beat silksong 100%
this truely was our
silksong

[orchid locust]

what if silksong was called songsilk and instead of silking songs they sang silks

[plucky stag]

out of ten, what's your out-of-the-theater rating?

[toxic vigil]

Don't they already sing silk?

[vivid knot]

OOOOHHHHH

[exotic dome]

second fentanyl

[vivid knot]

This update is peak

[storm bone]

honestly... an 8 out of 10

[plucky stag]

what justifies said rating

[rotund gate]

groal the great goes bowling with lugoli

[storm bone]

hated and loved the final boss so much I wanted to say things im not allowed to say here

but thats besides the point

as for the rating
hmm
its very fast paced so I do like it
and the movement is SO much more clean and smooth than hollow knight

although the double damage was... interesting at times
and some places didnt feel like it should have had it

loved Trobbios fight both times
the world felt really full
compared to hk
which might be weird to say
but I didnt like that as much
like I loved the characters and the world
but at the same time
I liked the emptyness of Hk more
hope that makes sense

oh another thing I didnt like
is that
the 100% tracker is weirdly done

[wary storm]

i missed HK1 melancholy playing silksong 1

[storm bone]

if you're gonna have extra things
let them count more than 100%...

[wary storm]

you sometimes want to get break from the game, and i think thats not good

[storm bone]

like I didnt need to beat every boss for 100%
or every quest
I dont like that

[odd hull]

Makes sense, dw. Silksong definitely is a different experience from HK

Is what makes me love silksong more btw

[storm bone]

oh yea course
also did we ever learn why Hornet was kidnapped and sent to pharloom?

or did I miss that

[wary storm]

song has been sung and there's a lot of individuals came to hallownest to kindap her

you saw what 1 fly can do with relatively strong hornet

imagine small army of pilgrims with one mind

[storm bone]

I am not joking when I tell you I got the last boss down to 10 health SIX DIFFERENT TIMES

[wary storm]

not sure how GMS controlled them in hallownest but couldn't control some shit in moss grotto

maybe pilgrims were on their own, without GMS controlling them

[odd hull]

lmao

[storm bone]

also the true ending was alright
didnt really get it though

[odd hull]

What you don't get?

[odd hull]

GMS is a toxic mom

[dry olive]

Why is sk short for silksong and not ss

[smoky bridge]

The compass.

[pulsar oxide]

I'm calling it right now. Sea of Sorrow is releasing on either May 29 or June 5

[odd hull]

Something something SS is the name of an nazi police force.

[smoky bridge]

Because SS is a nazi thing

[wary storm]

how is silksong a nazi thing

[smoky bridge]

Same reason Slugcat shortens to scug.

[odd hull]

Scug is a funny name

[smoky bridge]

Despite it arguably making no sense.

[pure shoal]

Acronym is

[dry olive]

I looked up the actual word of the thing and it made me think of weiner schnitzel

[smoky bridge]

Fuckin Yankees.

[wary storm]

well there so much things that was used by nazis so thats a really bad logic, i'd prefer HKSS because it sounds cool

[dry olive]

Real

[slender juniper]

Krabbio

[smoky bridge]

Also because people just shortened "Skong"

[slender juniper]

The woman was too stunned to speak

[wary storm]

hkss sk skong ss is all good names, tier 1 names provided by the hollow knight silk song 2 community

[dry olive]

For example the “nazi symbol” was just stolen from the hindu religion im pretty sure

[smoky bridge]

And it does have the benefit of not being identical to a nazi organisation.

[smoky bridge]

Please do not try to justify having it prominently displayed with this.

[dry olive]

Im not

[smoky bridge]

People say that but they can never fucking name the other hindu symbols.

[slender juniper]

Hitler going to India just to rotate the Buddhism symbol aren't you supposed to be a painter like be more fucking original

[odd hull]

He was rejected for a reason ig

[wary storm]

i mean that has rreally tight associates with nazis soooo it can get censored

[strong arch]

Just say skong or abbreviate sk if that's such an issue

[smoky bridge]

And yeah Nazis stole a lot of iconography, but 80% of the time people using those stolen symbols are just Nazis trying to have minor deniability.

[dry olive]

Im js saying an example of smth they stole

[smoky bridge]

And you know the adage of the Nazi bar.

[slender juniper]

I mean like yeah but the symbol is still used in Japan to signify temple

[slender juniper]

Dumb foreigners call the police

[wary storm]

i think neji's forehead tatoo or something got censored because of that, and i think the more time is gonna pass the less it gonna get associated with nazis and more its gonna get associated with its original meaning

[smoky bridge]

Yeah but that's whole differents stuff lmao.

[wary storm]

i think it was "temple" or sum like that

[slender juniper]

Yes it means temple

[slender juniper]

^

[smoky bridge]

They look so funy

... Wait thy kinda resemble one of the silk skill symbols, no?

[strong arch]

Wait they do

Might also be a coincidence

[dry olive]

Should i actually start playing sk or should i continue hk

[slender juniper]

Continue till you get dream no more

[strong arch]

depends on how far you are in hk

[slender juniper]

Very important

[dry olive]

Until i what?

[wary storm]

continue hk its soo good

[slender juniper]

True ending is "dream no more"

[odd hull]

Continue playing HK, it's better to get the full experience in one go

[slender juniper]

It's continued into silksong

[dry olive]

Barely just defeated moss mother thing and im now in the lava place

[slender juniper]

I'm clawing my line

[smoky bridge]

This is the inventory one.

That one resbles they head less.

So probably just coincidence.

[strong arch]

I think it's a coincidence I mean it's the same artstyle

[smoky bridge]

Shame. Here I thought I was onto something.

[strong arch]

A lot of enemies have pointy heads

[smoky bridge]

Yeah but the pharlid divers zip themselves up and down on silk strands. :v

[slender juniper]

Why does hornet get clawline and needolin and call them "ancient weaver techniques" then use the needle for them which comes from the bee hive

[strong arch]

But I mean you sorta were onto something since ||they are the weavers' ancestors||

[smoky bridge]

And they are yeah, I was gonna say that.
So I thought there might be a connection.

[strong arch]

Right conclusion wrong path

[smoky bridge]

The whole song and silk strings are the ancient weaver technique.

[slender juniper]

Okay and clawline

It used the needle

Which is not weaver

[strong arch]

What if the needle is weaver and they just sorta got help from the bees with them

[slender juniper]

No because none of the weavers use the needle

Hornet is the only one

They either use claws,pins or bells(widow)

[strong arch]

Then ig it's more of a "disability aid" for hornet

[smoky bridge]

Hornet is not a full weaver.
And also the needle is literally just a mix of a nail and the pin

[strong arch]

Weavers naturally have claws and since hornet is not a "pure" weaver she needed tools to make up for the lack of claws

[slender juniper]

The needle is a nail on a stick duh

[strong arch]

More of a pointy stick but yeah

[slender juniper]

Ig

[desert compass]

this is relevant to sk discussion yes, SIX SEVEN’S BIRTHDAY IN 5 DAYS❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

hi guys

[smoky bridge]

Also first sinner creates silk needles in her attacksz so.
Hmm

[slender juniper]

Surprisingly the needle is surprisingly good in irl combat, it's a swordspear and you can attach a rope to the to throw it like a javelin

[desert compass]

monor why do u hate reaper

[slender juniper]

Those are nails

[strong arch]

it's garbage

why use reaper when wanderer exists

[slender juniper]

I installed a mod where I fixed the reaper crest so I do like it now

But vannila EUGH

[strong arch]

reaper is a wannane wanderer

No crest tops wanderer

[desert compass]

I will say I kinda disagree unless the needle is specifically sharpened by pinmaster plinney, most needles are only sharpened at the tip and so cant be swung like how hornet swings hers

[smoky bridge]

Ofc it would be unimaginably heavy if it was actually human sized.

[slender juniper]

Actually

[smoky bridge]

But bugs likely just have proportionally greater strenght.

[desert compass]

sloperer crest 💔 I say this as someone who spent 50 hours on it too on my only save file

[slender juniper]

https://youtu.be/adka-fPGx7c?is=OJHEKkHVQpv7WkMC it's pretty light

[untold dune]

ok but the idea of someone lobbing a spear and then riding it down is funny

[strong arch]

It's worn in the beginning of the game. It's safe to assume brand new needles are just as sharp as resharpened ones

[desert compass]

[smoky bridge]

Anime shit.

[desert compass]

also genuinely speaking irl how the HELL does clawline work

[slender juniper]

You don't want to swing your swords that's kinda stupid ,you need to stab

[strong arch]

it anchors to spacetime

[desert compass]

the sticking to walls part I get

[slender juniper]

Force

[smoky bridge]

Why would it not be properly sharpened?

[desert compass]

the clinging to the rings tho 😭😭😭

[untold dune]

it doesnt work irl, clawline is fictional

[desert compass]

diagonal clawline when

[desert compass]

oh I meant on the sides

[smoky bridge]

She pokes the needle through and them grabs on either side of the ring.

[slender juniper]

She weaves silk around the needle throws it and then pulls toward the needle

[smoky bridge]

I know.

[strong arch]

no please

[untold dune]

it begs the question why she couldnt do it before for the ones that are in reach? is she stupid?

[slender juniper]

That's just worse hunters pogo

[strong arch]

I suggest z axis clawline with Hornet coming out of the screen

[slender juniper]

She needed to absorb a corpse smh

[strong arch]

yes

she is

[smoky bridge]

Hm. I actually never considered that fact

[untold dune]

thats her solution to every problem has she simply tried getting good?

[slender juniper]

Yes ,she got L ratioed by the knight

[indigo oyster]

Guys im doing a steam if you want to help join its in #livestreams [only chat no commentary] only if you want btw

[smoky bridge]

Hornet wasn't even mad that the knight killed Herrah she was just upset the corpse was gone :(

"Damn I was gonna eat that"

[desert compass]

yeah she knew ghost had to right?

[slender juniper]

What would hornet get if she absorbed herrah

[strong arch]

mass

[slender juniper]

Her mommy issues gone?

[smoky bridge]

Beast crest but more weaverly? :v

[desert compass]

do u think she’d be mentally sane absorbing her own mother

[untold dune]

prolly a silk skill

[desert compass]

[wary storm]

i hoped that we'd encounter herrah or remember how we binded her

but nah :(

[desert compass]

I like the silk skill idea more considering herrah was a dreamer

[smoky bridge]

Bound: Additional mommy issues.

[desert compass]

and so she isnt technically dead

or sorry wasnt until the knight yk… absorbed her into their dream nail

if im wrong pls smite me

[smoky bridge]

Yeah she was in a magical coma basically.

[slender juniper]

Silk skill idea:silk crash
Damage:3,8× needle damage
Hornet ensnares her needle in silk mid air and then crashes down dealing damage

DDARK PLEASE COME BACK

[strong arch]

descending dark?

[desert compass]

ooh and since some of her silk skills already have I-frames it would be fitting

[smoky bridge]

Pharlid divers get descending dark.

[raw pawn]

I love using the shaman crest but I hate how you have to wait until act 3 to get it

[smoky bridge]

?? Bwuh?

[slender juniper]

Yes but with charge time after press the button so it's not that OP

[desert compass]

wait did i get something wrong

[strong arch]

I never use it since I get used to the crest I use before it (wanderer)

[smoky bridge]

We never see what herrah could do tho

[desert compass]

oh no im talking about monor’s ddark shitpost 😭😭😭

I was like it’d be fitting you know

[slender juniper]

That was not a shit post

[desert compass]

oh no bro was serious

[strong arch]

That's called a silkpost

[smoky bridge]

Ispose.

[slender juniper]

It could genuinely be balanced if you give it charge time

And way less iframes than descending dark

[desert compass]

[smoky bridge]

But then it would just be worse than sdart

[raw pawn]

I think shaman is actually safer to use than reaper imo (except for the shitty heal)

[slender juniper]

The sharpdart doesn't do 3,8× needle damage

[desert compass]

shaman the only crest where people feel safe putting egg of flealia and they arent sweats

[smoky bridge]

In an AOE

[white bone]

hello ladies and gentlemen

[smoky bridge]

And yeah I think it is good.

[white bone]

how would yall be thiss fine evening

[strong arch]

Maybe the ddark analog would do like reverse silk soar
Launching the needle into the ground and then pulling towards it

[desert compass]

cross stitch everyone knows is an s tier but what do YOU guys personally like?

[strong arch]

thread storm

[raw pawn]

Sharpdart

[smoky bridge]

But yeah people would despise it

[slender juniper]

Shart fart

[white bone]

the last time i launched a needle into the ground was in sinners road

[desert compass]

silk spear will always be my goat

[smoky bridge]

People hate startlag

[smoky bridge]

Cross stitch :v

[strong arch]

darpshart

[smoky bridge]

And Sharp dart but Cross Stitch is comfier to use with Beast.

[desert compass]

whats ur least fav? if I hear rune rage I already know dw 😭😭😭

[raw pawn]

Sharpdart is literally just ddark sideways

[smoky bridge]

generally, as I main beast, I barely use silk skills.

I need to be binding always.

[strong arch]

I hate cross stitch ngl

[orchid locust]

what if there was a silk skill with negative start lag that read your brain waves to detect when you wanted to use it and activated it before you pressed the button

[desert compass]

wait why

[strong arch]

Idk always seemed janky

[desert compass]

what if we turned into hornet with no lag so true

[smoky bridge]

??

[strong arch]

And wanderer spam makes cross stitch pointless

[odd hull]

ThreadStorm and Pale Nails

[raw pawn]

Pale nails is so near to that

[smoky bridge]

Pale nails are pretty cool. Yeah.

[desert compass]

its a parry that counters so many things near-instantly wdym 💔💔💔

[slender juniper]

How about 0,4s start lag for 3,8× damage with some iframes

[desert compass]

yeah I wondered why people havent said pale nails yet

[slender juniper]

Or did I just make descending dark again

[strong arch]

because thread storm

[slender juniper]

Anybody wanna watch me Speedrun

[smoky bridge]

Since the need Silk Storm ain't what it used to be.

[raw pawn]

I think because people actually love landing the hits themselves

[rocky jolt]

song song song silkur

[smoky bridge]

[desert compass]

they nerfed thread storm???

[rocky jolt]

do not menpreg

[desert compass]

mpreg him NOW

me too i guess ⁉️

[rocky jolt]

fuck dude

[odd hull]

But ThreadStorm looks cool. Is like Witch Crest but less goated

[desert compass]

guys how do I get better at silksong besides playing more

[strong arch]

Witch crest hella underrated

It doesn't have yellow slots but bfr who needs yellow slots

[desert compass]

real its w skill ceiling

[tidal glade]

And also it's the signature HEGALE from HK

[rocky jolt]

witch crest is bluetoolslop

[desert compass]

yeah plus yellow slot u only need magnetite dice or weighted belt for more I-frames 🥀

[rocky jolt]

witch crest taking all blue tool slots from other crests:

[raw pawn]

I kinda don't like witch mainly because of how the pogo killed me a lot

[desert compass]

yeah and wanderer crest is hollow knight moveset slop and critslop what is ur point

[modest stirrup]

i like wander because everything dies faster

[desert compass]

GOOD ANSWER NEPHEW

[unkempt steeple]

If you use any crest you're playing the game wrong

[weak depot]

and here begins the 498135th crestslop discussion

[desert compass]

just stay cursed fr

[raw pawn]

Then you might like beast

[unkempt steeple]

Cursed is how the game is supposed to be played, no tools, binds or silk skills to make the game easy

[desert compass]

dont even upgrade ur crest when u start the game dont ever visit eva or pinstress

[lofty bough]

Silknation are we excited for sea of sorrow

[smoky bridge]

Yeah the follow up hits deprecate much faster now.

[unkempt steeple]

We should be sble to get cloakless while cursed too

[modest stirrup]

Weird jumps no ty

[smoky bridge]

So it's much less good when extended now.

[unkempt steeple]

No

[smoky bridge]

Much less good. Fucking subpar English.

[unkempt steeple]

Sea of sorrow isn't real it was a fandom halluciation

[desert compass]

dont even get silk skills bro skillslop I believe

[lofty bough]

Oh okay

I am a Linguist! I am a Linguist! God damnit!

[unkempt steeple]

[smoky bridge]

Actual stance some people be slingin'

[lofty bough]

Is everything slop now

[unkempt steeple]

Don't even install the game

[orchid locust]

i can perform experimental brain surgery to make you better at silksong it costs $12,000 and you have to sign a waiver accepting the risk of any side effects (paraplegia, alzheimer's, parkinson's, dementia, palsy, encephalopathy, als, epilepsy, aneurysms, stroke, seizures, death) and denying your right to litigation in the case of any of the aforementioned

[unkempt steeple]

Everything is slopslop

[lofty bough]

Bros hating skills are legit naoya level

[desert compass]

20$ is too much for my feeble wallet so I got my local hungarian friend to gift it to me

[rocky jolt]

this sounds like something cave johnson from aperture would do

PORTAL 2 MENTIONED 🙏🙏🙏

[rocky jolt]

an army of mantis men

[smoky bridge]

Ok So!
Step one: drink two cups of espresso, one shot of alcohol and a joint.

Step two: You might develop mysterious skills.

[desert compass]

cave johnson just be saying shit whenever he mentions the side effects of using his products bro

I need more time in my life to play video games.

But alas, Too busy doing academic writing

[desert compass]

“Silksong sea of sorrow tomorrow!” We tell the 6-7 fandom members still alive in 2067. They cry out: “you’ve said this already so many times! You’ve already drank from the fountain of youth team cherry… but alas, what about us?!?”
Ari slopson and william sloplen smile cunningly. “You shall see us in avengers: doomsday.”

[smoky bridge]

Sea of Sorrow FOREVAA

[unkempt steeple]

Team cherry killed someone

[strong arch]

I can't upload images here I'll post it in #hk-meme

[pure shoal]

didnt that happen already

[smoky bridge]

Shot him right in the chest on live TV

[unkempt steeple]

Yes but they did that again

[rocky jolt]

dont forget to be yourself!

[unkempt steeple]

Kinda cruel

Don't they have a human heart?

[stable mica]

what

[pure shoal]

arent they bugs

[smoky bridge]

They only have a coral one.

[desert compass]

They utter out their final cries:

“fireb0rn already has grandchildren, the god gamer academy is starting to give out scholarships, relyea has already moved on to other games, what more could you want???”

Team cherry responds:

“offer us the original kickstarter backers, and maybe you will see sea of sorrow in your lifetime.”

[unkempt steeple]

Coral gourge dlc foreshadowing?

[unkempt steeple]

Maybe

[smoky bridge]

Gourge

[desert compass]

gourgeous

[smoky bridge]

Is that really how you spell it?

[minor sparrow]

No, they're a group of large Australian spiders that use ai to make images of their human forms

[smoky bridge]

No it ain't.

[smoky bridge]

Canned silk flies.

This is technically still silksong related.

Moss berry soda

Mmm. Poisonous.

[unkempt steeple]

Soda is already poisonous

[rocky jolt]

roasted flea 😋

[smoky bridge]

It's lethal to bats, but deadly to humans.

[desert compass]

OH MY GOD

[pure shoal]

I prefer deep fried but roasted is fine

[unkempt steeple]

Silksong should do a collba with monster to make a Flea brew flavored monster energy drink

[smoky bridge]

I was trying to figure out what it was without clicking it until I remembered.

we dont make marvel references here.

[terse cloak]

zamn

[terse cloak]

why not

[unkempt steeple]

It's okay we drink half of all their flea brew

[smoky bridge]

Hornet was too busy chugging their booze mid combat

[desert compass]

they start humming the tune of enemy by imagine dragons when hornet wakes up the aforementioned malevolent god

[smoky bridge]

I picked radioactive for this joke purely because of the "I'm waking up" part tnh.

I never remember which song they use in the joke most often.

[unkempt steeple]

Like we couldn't have gotten the flew brew recepie?

[smoky bridge]

Hornet is bad at brewing alcohol.

[unkempt steeple]

Not bad at drinking it...

[smoky bridge]

I still find it funny that at least some kinds of booze canonically restore silk.

[minor sparrow]

Silk laced booze

[unkempt steeple]

Flew brew ahould have an overdose mechanic like plasmium where we black out and wake out somewhere else without out cloak and with a headache

[terse cloak]

where do i start for terrible tyrant, explain like im 2

[pure shoal]

Btw is the void like a core for the planet the bugs are in

[desert compass]

my theory is drunk hornet casually restores and weaves her own silk but sober hornet doesn’t know how to

[pure shoal]

Because if they go down in hallownest its void

[smoky bridge]

Look for spots in Marrow you need to wall climb for.

[pure shoal]

Same for pharloom

[terse cloak]

thanks

[unkempt steeple]

We don't know but probably

[desert compass]

yeah they said in canon the abyss is connected

[smoky bridge]

Marrow, not bone bottom my bad.

[minor sparrow]

Pretty much yeah

[smoky bridge]

I just
View the entire marrow as an extension of bone bottom in my mind's map.

[unkempt steeple]

There's still magma in the deep underground but it's above the void so

[pure shoal]

Its probably a spherical core then

[minor sparrow]

Well maybe not a core but a layer of their planet

[smoky bridge]

The void core.

Like in rain world.

Or Noita

[desert compass]

not really but yeah that would be the closest

[pure shoal]

Kind of like layers

But we dont find magma in hk so maybe a regional thing

[smoky bridge]

I think they just built over a dormant volcano.

[knotty vapor]

oh god.
and then Hornet has to "fight" that big-ass tentacle thing to get an ending

[desert compass]

the rules of gravity still apply to hollow knight universe so like earth it most likely would not be fully spherical

[pure shoal]

Oh yeah that makes sense

[knotty vapor]

PAUSE.

[rocky jolt]

bro the abyss in hallownest is literally next door pharlooms abyss is under a kilometer deep lake of lava

[unkempt steeple]

Oh yeah that's odd, maybe the pale king just blocked off any magma veins

Earth is giant anthill shaped.

[pure shoal]

Yeahh because the abyss in hallownest was tampered with other stuff

Like pale king and life blood

[unkempt steeple]

Pharloom itself seems like a mountain

[desert compass]

isnt it called in the scientific field a “spheroid”

[pure shoal]

Ai slop

[minor sparrow]

As someone on Earth, I disagree

[light swan]

i agree

[pure shoal]

Mount fay the peak

[light swan]

since we see the surface both at the top of the mountain but also outside of blasted steps and stuf

[desert compass]

what if in the next game instead of ascending in pharloom or descending in hallownest we heh… go LEFT ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[pure shoal]

It would be cool to imagine a volcano as base and mountain of snow as peak

[smoky bridge]

Not certain...

[light swan]

unless theres two different surfaces and hallownest is all under aonther surface

[unkempt steeple]

Weirdly the nameless town seems to be even higher than mount fay but it's not snowy

[minor sparrow]

No you start going on the 3d plane

[smoky bridge]

It's very likely in Hallownest we never see the actual "sky"

[desert compass]

wait true…

[rocky jolt]

the entirety of act 1 is going right then going left

[knotty vapor]

I already know the answer, but would the Void Worm from rainworld be a higher being

[pure shoal]

Hk
Descend to a vast kingdom

Sk
Ascend to a vast kingdom

Zoteboat
Left to a vast boat

[pure shoal]

I think it was in the middle around in files

Holy shit my grammar

[desert compass]

yeah the “surface” is as likely to be the actual surface than the land of storms is

[minor sparrow]

The entirety of act 1 is going up to the Citadel

[unkempt steeple]

It's cool that act 3 is about descending again

[minor sparrow]

That's the whole point of act 1 actually

[knotty vapor]

sail east to a vast kingdom

[pure shoal]

Yea

[rocky jolt]

no i mean the area positioning

[light swan]

HOLY SHIT IS THIS REAL

[exotic dome]

it's pretty linear

act 1 ascend act 2 ascend act 3 descend

WHAT THIS IS A SILKPOST THE LAST TIME XBOX SAID SILKSONG WOULD RELEASE THEY LIED

DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THE INTERNET FOLKS!

[minor sparrow]

From the start of the game almost all of the areas are above you

[smoky bridge]

... Hmm random urge to obtain a pace plushie but I am Broke as shit.

[unkempt steeple]

Yes it's above the desolate wastes enterance in blasted steps but bellow the nameless town

Shush. Silksposter.

[desert compass]

Your lies shall not get to me.

There's an even lower enterance to the desolate wastes in far fields iirc

[desert compass]

“silksposter” yeah just end me atp

[minor sparrow]

I need a 12th plushie someday

[unkempt steeple]

No idea where the bone bottom bugs come from tho

[light swan]

no im not the silkposter here i genuinely just got this recommended to my youtube

[unkempt steeple]

There seems to be no enterance after wormways

Well it gets close but no actual enterance

[terse cloak]

found it

[minor sparrow]

Well I got the hollow knight trailer on my recommended on my yt like a week or so ago

[unkempt steeple]

Also that area seems to be free of pilgrims outside a few lost ones that probably came from bone bottom

[desert compass]

one thing i dislike about the hunter’s journal is the watcher at the edge being needed for 100% hunters journal

like bro WHO IS THIS???

[exotic dome]

guys gameplay trailer is out

[minor sparrow]

I'm so glad they got rid of the camera completely follow the knight

[unkempt steeple]

Seems horrible

[exotic cedar]

What the fuck im so excited

[odd hull]

No waayyy

[terse cloak]

i died to rocks

[desert compass]

Seems like another one of those 2d games. Doesnt look very promising.

[unkempt steeple]

They made you guys wait 7 years for this?

[still osprey]

Looks like dogshit we have too many 2d sidescrollers already

[exotic dome]

what 😭

[desert compass]

one digit off bro.

[edgy patio]

so far so good

[desert compass]

we could have had 67 in 2017.

[exotic cedar]

Hollow knight if it was GOOD

[unkempt steeple]

Silksong basically has three masks in act 1 with how many enemies deal 2 masks

[minor sparrow]

Also it'd be really funny for the retainers seeing the white lady's statues and then seeing her irl being like 4x taller than them

[exotic dome]

silksong dlc prediction

[light swan]

lame colors

idk man, ive seen better

[smoky bridge]

White lady doing that thing Fiona did in Shrek to the farquad cake topper.

[desert compass]

when will ari slopson release sea of sorrow bro

[unkempt steeple]

Major downgrade from silksong imo

[exotic dome]

it seems like it's gonna be a 2dslop idk

[raw pawn]

Uhh I always had this question

Are the weavers immune to the haunting?

[exotic cedar]

Videogameslop

[unkempt steeple]

Really obvious this was just supoosed to be a silksong dlc

Not a whole game

[exotic dome]

no way we waited 6 months for this??

[light swan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETCpWo0A0i0

[edgy patio]

when do you think

[desert compass]

they have strong wills yes but the haunting and the infection targets those with weak wills so not every weaver is immune

[desert compass]

2067 earliest

[weak depot]

...eh?

[desert compass]

wait shit did I get it wrong

my bad i redact my statement

[raw pawn]

Pale king is a short king, literally

[desert compass]

😭 fml

[weak depot]

isnt the entire point of the haunting that GMS control the bugs whose shells have threads in them

or is it a part of it

[exotic cedar]

Wow that game looks coo- wait what is that a bear infront of the door? FUCK i forgot the door ope- AAAH HELP AAAAH AHHH ITS MAULING ME TO DEATH HELLLP

[edgy patio]

you are really funny.

[light swan]

????

is this some deltarune meme it feels like a deltarune meme

[raw pawn]

Sea of sorrow in the next 109 years probaly

[desert compass]

isnt that part of it tho? Garmond and many others mention having strong wills as the reason they arent affected or afflicted with the haunting

[pure shoal]

I think its to install silk in them to control them
Like a virus

*this is my best bet because thats what i concluded happened in bellheart

[exotic cedar]

No i just made it up

[knotty vapor]

lmao
I even made an entry for Plasmified Flea.

[exotic dome]

i didnt know you can hit them

[weak depot]

yee that was my quesstion

[smoky bridge]

I... I don.

Huh???

[pure shoal]

That sounds cool

Maybe mods should add feel official arent official thing

but im on console so it wouldnt matter

[light swan]

you cant, the trailer is 9 months old

[desert compass]

that one pondcatcher in bellhart mentions having a strong will while his other fellow pondcatchers have all fallen to the haunting making them hostile

[smoky bridge]

It's kinda a shame.

[glacial kelp]

what is this? some kind of mio?

[light swan]

i want those as a boss

[raw pawn]

Please tell me he doesn't die in act 3

[pure shoal]

We didnt see that guy when bellheart cursed right?

[knotty vapor]

opinions on Sandborne

[exotic dome]

nacre eater

[glacial kelp]

every metroidvania requires a worm boss

[smoky bridge]

I really like the two bugs in sinner's road.
"See, it gets you if you're too religious."
"Or not religious enough."

[light swan]

holy shit man this trailer shot is crazy

[smoky bridge]

Bros are collectively, onto nothing.

[knotty vapor]

does the Bell Eater count as a worm boss

[desert compass]

wasnt he in the background when they were all cursed or am i tweaking

[smoky bridge]

Canceling each other put, intelligence wise.

[pure shoal]

Idk myself

[raw pawn]

Focus? Hunter reference /j

[glacial kelp]

its close enough

[odd hull]

they're so good

[desert compass]

crull and benjin… my goats

[void moat]

Voltvyrm is a worm boss

[pure shoal]

This made me think

WHAT THE HELL IS A WYRM AND IS IT A WORM

[odd hull]

best npcs in the game

[crude geyser]

Brightest mind in the hood

[desert compass]

wyrm does not equal worm

[pure shoal]

I mean i know what a wyrm is but

[glacial kelp]

what does dni mean btw ive always wondered

[raw pawn]

Okay but how big is the bell eater actually because it looks fucking massive

[desert compass]

do not interact

[exotic cedar]

Do not interreact

[pure shoal]

This look alike but wyrm is like so much bigger

Like hk verse i get it but irl

[desert compass]

yes lore wise too they also have wings

NEVERMIND

THEY DO NOT HAVE WINGS I READ A STATEMENT WRONG

[subtle lynx]

It's s centipede

[desert compass]

[glacial kelp]

yeah no shit

[desert compass]

i need to sleep bro its too early to be talking about lore for me

[smoky bridge]

Wyrm is one of the ten billion words for dragon basically.

[raw pawn]

The pale king said: nah gng I hate this wyrm body Imma be a short king instead

[void moat]

pk had wings but they were probably taken from a monarchfly

[desert compass]

but it is different from the stereotypical dragon

[edgy patio]

IT GOT LEAKEDDD

[pure shoal]

so your telling me the cast off shell was a DRAGON 😭 🥀

the pale king
WAS A DRAGON

[exotic dome]

wyrms are dragon like worms or something like that

[smoky bridge]

Yes and no. Depends on lore and where from.

[crude geyser]

It’s not exactly the same thing, it’s a sub species of dragon or a variant

[glacial kelp]

dragon doesnt have to mean like western wingy lizard

[desert compass]

no body too big, no shortness too short, born of tall long body.

[smoky bridge]

I depends on who's writing the stuff.

[crude geyser]

Its more snake like than your average dragon

[pure shoal]

Komodo dragon type thing?

[pure shoal]

Lizardish

[smoky bridge]

Buh...

[glacial kelp]

well chinese dragons are serpentine for one

[edgy patio]

THEY LEAKED THE THIRD GAMEE WHAT
||(silkspost)||

[smoky bridge]

Dragon can mean basically anything it's a made up creature that everyone lumped together for next to no reason.

[subtle lynx]

No way, the gloom is back

[desert compass]

MODS

[pure shoal]

Silkpost in the 2026

[subtle lynx]

Hopefully they can get rid of the stupid void bugs and put them back in the gloom

[void moat]

pk isnt a dragon but hes not a worm either

[subtle lynx]

His original form was a worm

[glacial kelp]

there are like thousands of these map images

[pure shoal]

I dont know anything about dragons bruh
What the heck is serpentine
Like snake like?

[subtle lynx]

Grimm mockingly calls it a worm

[void moat]

yes but in universe he isnt a worm

[edgy patio]

mods find where he lives and incinerate him

[desert compass]

where would they even put the city of steel tho? Their only options are left and right as above the cradle is the surface and below is the abyss. Left is most likely because right has the rotten areas

[subtle lynx]

No, I mean in universe he was s type of worm

[crude geyser]

The best thing about silksong are slopes

[raw pawn]

Is the white lady able to give bugs sentience since 2 pale beings were able to do that

[edgy patio]

silkposting in 2026 before gta6

[desert compass]

in roblox*

[smoky bridge]

Wyrm is likely just the name for a kind of higher being worm

[subtle lynx]

In a dream sequence

[smoky bridge]

Unlikely. She just want babies.

[pure shoal]

I wish we could know about the lifeblood being
I mean its probably the only higher being which we only know because of a few frames.

(assuming its a higher being)

[stable mica]

OoO

[stable mica]

where u get that?

[pure shoal]

Or its just a big "plasmified" bug

[void moat]

yes what im saying is he isnt literally a worm

[desert compass]

but there are steel beings in steel soul mode UNLESS they could technically put the dream sequence like how say they put godhome in the godseeker dude

[smoky bridge]

People are just falling for silkposts all the time lmao.

[void moat]

he bares resemblance but bes a different creature

[edgy patio]

google lmao search "Silksong City of Steel Map"

[subtle lynx]

Yes that's what I'm talking about

[raw pawn]

Btw there is a setting in enemy randomizer that makes enemies plasmified

[subtle lynx]

Though I hope we don't get a steel city, idc for steel lore

[stable mica]

wah

[subtle lynx]

We have enough factions

[pure shoal]

Wait
Isint steel soul TECHNICALLY cannon over normal gamemode?

So every thing in steel soul is cannon over things in normal mode??

[exotic dome]

real

[smoky bridge]

I mean we haven't seen a worm that isn't the wyrm yet.

[cerulean sable]

real question

is Pilby's corpse being thrown down the hole is less so as a super tragic sad cutscene but more kinda presented in a dark humour kinda way?

[smoky bridge]

I disagree because then Styx dead.

[odd hull]

Look up bloodborne lore, trust

[pure shoal]

The voltworm

[edgy patio]

aren't we getting a steel character or something? i remember a boss or character that's from the steel people idk

[raw pawn]

How the hell do they throw his corpse when the bridge is there

[smoky bridge]

It can be both. Sudden death can be funny, because it shares a lot of traits with humour.

[subtle lynx]

Yes

[desert compass]

I wanna say BOTH are canon because in the original hollow knight, the physical copy of the wanderer’s journal has both enemies from normal AND steel soul!

[cerulean sable]

its just the way the pilgrim throws Pilby

[void moat]

yeah steel assassin sharpe
