About me

Chaotic good, Aro/Ace.

Hi. I'm often sleep deprived, my heart has calcified into a salty crouton, and I like writing and games.

While I have joined many a fandom over the years, Hollow Knight is by far the one I know the most about. While I may only be ranked #4 on the wiki, my lore knowledge, I like to think, is second to none. For example, the fact that the player character respawns is actually canon, as confirmed by a certain line from the Little Fool if you talk to them after dying in one of the Trials. In addition, it's implied that the Shade you leave behind after death and the Siblings (aka failed Vessels) are similar entities, as not only do they appear similar, but they both become passive and die in one hit after you obtain Void Heart. While the corpses/shells in the Abyss seem to be basically dead without their respective Shade (the Siblings), the player character is perfectly fine without their Shade, although their Soul Vessel is damaged. There are many more details, such as the fact that the player character's shell also reappears at the last bench they rested at, but that might just be a game design thing. With new content on the horizon, all we can do is wait and hope for answers.
