I'm slowly understanding the Team Cherry marketing method because I don't post often and when I do post it suddenly feels embarrassing, like "Hey remember me from like two months ago? I wrote a thing 🥺👉👈"

The Hornet plush is back in stock!

Part of our official Hollow Knight collection: www.fangamer.com/collections/...
Photo of the Hornet plush in a set designed to look like a ruined scene in Hollow Knight, with vines hanging down, a rocky dirt floor, and a ruin on one side. The plush is holding a plush Needle accessory.

Lyca did not sleep before the Execution. It would be her third since she reached her final molt. Among other Executioners, Lyca joked that once she dropped her shell, the first thing she did was sharpen her claws, though in reality, she had been biting and slicing through enemies for many molts before. She had not only defended her sisters from rival clutches but also cut into the shells of those they could not hunt for themselves when their fangs were too soft. Violence coursed through Lyca’s shell from hatching, and as an adult, it had become all she has known. Killing to live was the way of the Spider and of the Queendom of Vredrivala. It was an easy decision, then, to put her life on the line every cycle to entertain the Vredrivalan aristocrats, slaying whatever prisoner or monster they threw at her. If she wasn’t killing for ingots, she would be slaying her enemies in the Outer Caverns anyway, so she might as well use her strength and energy to try to better the lives of herself and her little sisters. It was called the Loom, which would sound comforting to any Spider unacquainted with its existence. A loom was, after all, central to any Spider’s life—a framework to hold their work, their magic, and, by extension, a sense of self. But the Loom was a perversion of its namesake.

the ever devoted and inquisitive hollow knight community: based on the ecological niche and in-game behavior of obscure NPC Aldrynth the Pariah, we've narrowed down their identity to one of 3 species of hoverflies in the subfamily Eristalinae

My favorite moments in Silksong include the naked prison break, the back alley abortion with a shady doctor, and Hornet ripping out a grieving gay man's heart and displaying it on a shelf in her home.

Updated Blood of the Beast for you Lacenet enjoyers, though this chapter is very pensive and focuses on Hornet's memories, which means it has some spoilers for Act 3.

Enjoy!

First Sinner is so relatable because when she fights, the first thing she does is summon a cunty dress. Same, queen

The First Sinner from Silksong

#art #silksong #fanart #hollowknight
A Weaver, a creature with 6 spider-like eyes and spikes on its shoulders, rises above 3 stone statues of other Weavers. Her large, spherical head is shattered like a cracked egg. She wields silk strands as a weapon in the form of silk swords and spherical runes that float around her. The ground is littered with sword-like sewing needles.
