Not me almost missing the anniversary 😭
Happy 7th Year of Existence Hollow Knight!! XD (This stupid bug game actually changed me so much<3)
ain’t no way the pale family is gonna pull up to nintendo direct without some serious drip!!!!!!!!! dress version:
She found their baby photo album
So about my interests
I realized that I never really said a thing about them, and I have a wide variety of them. So for the sake of simplicity Ive made a little thing. Most of my favorite characters :D That should give you a pretty good read on my Personality maybe. I know I'm probably missing some but these are the ones I could remember at the moment. It's all my Lil guys from across most of my fandoms. No, I do not take critizism moving on.
(I can't have a picture for Martin cause hes from a podcast and so has no official art, and I'm not to keen on stealing any)
Here they are :DDD Aww lookit themmmmm
:)
Dont mind me just turning this silly little comment into a full on analysis
I was gonna make this a normal comment but it turned too long
So then @pylon-lover
Spoilers for mostly Hollow Knight and Mother 3 below
I don't think its as much soulless Characters as much as it is characters who Pretend to, or are forced to be soulless
Actually there are a lot of characters here who are in their own unique situations but have many similarities despite being completely different characters.
The one who fits the best into being Soulless is THK (The Hollow Knight), but they're not soulless at all. The whole point of their story was that they weren't Hollow. They were created by the Pale King as a soulless vessel to contain the Radiance within them. And it would've worked too if it weren't for the fact that they weren't actually Hollow. Were not sure why but it could be that they developed a parental bond with the Pale King. But I'm not a Lore expert, go watch Mossbag. Anyways while cut content shouldn't be considered canon THK has a few cut dreamnail lines.
In the THK fight the cut dreamnail lines are:
...Kill...
...Shall blaze free...
...This Vessel, broken...fails...
...Dawn...Shall break...
...No mind, the usurper...Only strength...
...Kill the usurper...Our light it would suffocate...
...Father?...
So all the first ones are obviously the Radiance leaking through, but the last one is clearly THK. So the considered the Pale King to be their father, even going as far as to call out/hallucinate him? Even after all that he did to them. But again this is cut content and is therefore not canon
Im going to stop rambling about THK here since this is all commonly known knowledge in the Hollow Knight Fandom
The next one to be most Soulless is Claus but he was brainwashed into being a mindless obedient Cyborg for Porky. He isn't Soulless just mind controlled.
The list goes on
Sunny isnt Soulless he's Severely traumatized
Edgeworth isn't Soulless just also traumatized
Dave (DSAF) isnt soulless just... Well- I mean I guess theres an argument there but I'm talking about flip side Dave in DSAF 3 and he's literally a soul there so yeah, not soulless.
Also Brainwashing seems to be a big theme in here, dunno what thats about. Dedede gets Brainwashed like 10 times can't the dude catch a break.
So anyways, what I'm seeing here upon closer inspection at all these characters is a theme and 2 categories
The First Category is Characters who are in a situation where they are forced to act differently to how they would normally or if they had a full perspective on the situation
And
The Second Category
The Silly characters :)
Who I like cause they're silly :)
And almost all of them have some kind of Daddy/Mommy issues :)
That or Fraternal issues
Of course the categories do overlap with a couple of characters but thats about as close as I can get
...
And then theres Joltik :D
Anyways thank you for coming to my TEDtalk if you even read this far which to be honest is quite unlikely. I just like talking about my faves. I could talk more about them but I'd need a topic and such and I don't think anyone's really here to watch me ramble on
On the unlikely occasion that anyone actually sees this and is interested tho just send me an ask and give me a character (preferably one from the list or a character from the fandom that the characters from the list are from(god thats a confusing sentence)) and a topic and I'll make another one of these again. I really could talk more about all of the Characters up there just don't have any ideas for how.
Probably not gonna happen but I could dream

AAAHAGHHGHFHHFHHHH THEYRE HERE
LOOK AT THEM!!! SO PRECIOUS
I was so happy I dug out my old Hollow Knight Cosplay!!!!!
I couldnt find my wig tho :(
can u tell theyre my favorite...
I will never love any interpretation of Ghost, Hollow and Hornet more than I love the interpretation of them being ultimately good, fighting for peace for everyone around them, caring deeply for Hallownest (or what remains of Hallownest at least) and caring deeply for each other and peace for their family at last.
I love kind Ghost.
Ghost who goes out of the way to gift flowers to lonely bugs.
Ghost who will rescue Zote whenever given the opportunity, without thanks or any form of reward.
Ghost who rescues grubs because they are trapped and crying to be freed.
Ghost who despite having limited ability of expression, will find some way to convey appreciation for others. (Sitting beside them. Listening to them talk or sing. Bowing out of respect.)
Ghost who is excited when in the company of good friends.
Ghost who spares the life of the nailsmith.
Ghost who mourns the loss of those fallen.
Ghost who eventually remembers their past, remembers being abandoned by their sibling, and still chooses to fight, to do everything that it takes, to free the hollow knight. To put an end to their suffering. To take Hollow's place, or to die.
There is no reward for this. There is nothing to gain. Ultimately Ghost is willing to suffer forever or to die in order to give others peace.
Ghost makes many many mistakes, and can make selfish or reckless decisions, but ultimately, Ghost is forgiving and loving.
I love Hollow who genuinely wants the people of Hallownest to be at peace. (Ironically just wanting that alone made it impossible for Hollow to grant them that peace.
But still, Hollow wants that.)
Hollow who loves Hallownest. Who loves their father and who loves his kingdom.
Hollow who is relentless in protecting it. Who would suffer for over a hundred years protecting whatever there is that can possibly be saved.
Hollow who has had the radiance influencing it all that time. The radiance who hates the king, who hates his people. Who tried to convince it to hate them to.
Hollow who loves them regardless.
Who feels empathy for everyone. Who understands their suffering more than anyone and wants nothing more than for them to have peace.
Hollow who, after finally being freed, chooses to live a kind life. To be understanding and gentle.
Who has every right to be bitter and angry and closed off, but who, after finally receiving the opportunity to live, to actually live, chooses to find everything good left in the world that they fought so hard for.
Hollow who learns to love openly and to no longer be afraid.
Hollow who is eventually excited to be able to express love in small ways.
Hollow is stalwart and just. But kind.
Hornet who, despite everything that she went through, despite losing so much, nearly everything, continues to stand and to fight for life because it still matters to her.
Hornet who fights to honor those that she lost, especially her mother.
Hornet who is hesitant to be hopeful, but is hopeful anyway.
Hornet who is hesitant to form any friendships out of fear that she will lose them, But who longs for friendship, for family..
Hornet who is proud of her siblings, who loves them despite not wanting to, who feels guilt knowing that the fate of the kingdom must rely on them.
Hornet who will rush in to assist her siblings in their final battle, knowing that she may very well die.
Hornet who, after given the opportunity to be with her siblings again, wants nothing more than to help them heal. For them all to heal.
Hornet who loves and is loved in return.
Ghost and Hollow who love, and are loved in return.
A little broken family that understands each other, understands that nothing that happened to any of them was fair, and who forgive each other, who love each other because after all this time..
They finally can.
Not one of them is without their (sometimes severe) flaws. Not one of them isn't damaged after everything that has happened.
And still they choose love.
This quote by Mary Shelley captures my interpretations of the siblings perfectly.~
"Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it”
Random HK doodles sillies
crying, shedding tears, sobbing, wailing, bawling my eyes out, whimpering and howling of anguish
ok i have a concept where hollow can use what little essence they still have to summon some kind of essence spiky shield symbol????? but they can't control it very well, so this just appears at random and they gotta go sit in the sad corner so they can calm down and not accidentally poke someone with their angry spiky essence? (doesn't stop ghost and hornet from trying to comfort them)
