doodles to honour my sufferings in the 5th pantheon
finally beat it and got those sweet 100% achievements
sometimes I wonder out of all of the tribes that do not have a higher being, only the mantises managed to not get infected.
The bees make sense why they succumbed, vespa was dead so they latched onto the next best thing. The mushrooms are a similar case.
But deepnest?
I feel deepnest also has a warrior culture and I feel that Herrah is a strong enough leader and has people who respect her enough that she could have pulled off a quarantine like the mantises- though I can see why a larger territory would become an issue
My only explanation is thar while deepnest valued strenght it also valued the arts, what with the weavers and whatnot. And with the arts and dreams being interlinked it made them rather susceptible to the infection.
What do you think?
I think that the reason why Deepnest fell is not because Herrah and her kin weren't strong enough, but because the Radiance specifically targeted them after Herrah chose to become a Dreamer. I think there's some dialogue in game hinting to it, iirc? But I could be misremembering, so don't take my word for it. Either way though, Herrah was essential to the plan that sealed away the Radiance, and so the Radiance retaliated as such. In terms of being involved in the war, they were pretty damn involved, and, well...that damned them
The mantises, on the other hand, stayed neutral during the entire fight. Sure, they might have had a treaty with Hallownest, but they were no means friendly with the residents. And given the fact that the Traitor Lord and his followers willingly took the Radiance's infection into themselves, its likely that Radi knew they were sympathetic to her cause/easy to manipulate and simply chose to bide her time so that she could maximize the amount of followers she got out of it. Better to have half of them come to her than to force compliance and lose the whole tribe
hhey remember this video:
well I decided hollow knight needed one too
i present to you my magnum opus:
PLEASE!
Someone make a Hollow Knight mod where the Dreamers appear in Godhome just so Monomon can test the theory whether or not the Radience is flammable!
You don't even have to use a bottle, you can have her launch balls of explosives! Like the Ooma cores!
Based on an inside joke in @toldentops Discord. She can and WILL light the Radiance on fire

BLURB:
Instead of Deepnest, the Knight went up through the City of Tears to escape. What would happen but being found and adopted by none other than the Watcher himself.
Tell me, what happens now? After all, the Knight has a twin in the White Palace down below....

CHAPTER ONE:
SCRIPT: In the bottomost of Hallownest, there lies the White Palace, Where within ruled the Pale King, shinning and wise. I served this most glorious king, my son, as his Watcher. As his servant, I gave him everything. My service's reward was the entrusting of duties, treasures, and secrets. A reward only given to Her Majesty the Queen.
One day, His Majesty called me aside, desiring to share his secrets. O my son, I had no fantom of the darkness he would share. The only thought in my mind was how I could serve. After all, my liege lord needed all the help he could gather to defeat the Blazing Light.
His majesty was so eager, I recall, to share his secrets. I expected the project to be a grand scheme, a mighty warrior, or a secret weapon. But the last thing I expected to see...was you. A you that was cold, stiff, and lifeless while still drawing breath. Speechless, I observed this test that was required. Clueless, for I left you at our Spire.
What kind of test was this? Whose loyalty was tested? The father or the son? The only reward one could hope to earn was the approval of one's liege lord...
Somehow, the test was passed...but what His Majesty said and did surprised me more. "This 'construct', so capable, will be the vessel to seal away the Blazing Light." "YOU need not be so horrified at such a small thing." The king assured me.
I was horrified, my king not at What...but FOR WHO.

Hallownest became one giant mess ever since Radi was gone, I blame the Tree /j
I cannot listen to the Sealed Vessel theme without feeling depressed, this Poor innocent Vessel and all the suffering it had to endure all because of a selfish king...
Twitter liked this so Tumblr can have Fat Moth Mommy and her small Wife as well.
Disclaimer : Pale King's Canon doesn't apply to Peakay, unlike him she didn't piss off her Radiance she's even married to this Moth
Figuring out how to draw the Pale King and it just quickly devolved into memes
Human Radiance sketch design because I love her :3
The characters are done !!!
Now it's time for the ...... uhhh...mmnm...
background
Wip ! Yippie !!
It needed to be drawn
I don't specially think the gods of Hallownest truly have a voice. I think that they use the sound/voices of their followers.
When you hear a god (pk, radiance, wl) you do not hear a singular voice as one would expect but multiple (all of their followers voices whether they are young, old, male, female, or in very rare occasions, dead). If a god's "speech" is strong, booming, present it means that they have a great number of devout in which they can draw multiple voices from ( a god can choose whose voice they are taking ). Ofc this process has an effect on the devout, when the divinity uses their voice often/to much/with to much intensity, their worshipers will most likely have a sour throat or a raspy voice.
For exemple; the Radiance used hers a lot . She basically screamed in armory with her followers and it had repercussions, the moths had very sour throats and raspy or distorted voice ( it showed in Hallonest's prime and in the game event) . When she was forgotten she could barely talk, her speech was only a small pained whisper. But when the infection began her screeches were heard again (through the infected) more violent and angry then ever.
The Pale King does not use his voice very often, he cared a little bit more about his subjects well being than the Radiance (he doesn't really need to talk to be understood, a simple look of the eye or flick of the claw will make someone seize the order/want/intentions) this ensue in the citysen of Hallownest having clear and define voices.
The white lady, her, only uses the voice of trusted friends and ladies in waiting, like her knight Dryya, Marmu and others...
(And these trusted friends get showered with honey treats for their throats). She mostly uses female speech as she prefers how it sounds..
I also think that a gods voice can take some what of a physical form .
Like, golden light would come out of radi's mouth when she talks.
It would look like that
PK's speech would literally float in the air
Exactly like that !
And WL would have flowers come out of her mouth like that one brothers Grimm tale witch I CAN NOT remember the name of... (it was sm like "toads and diamonds")

In realms where shadows gently fade, A radiance blooms, softly laid. You weave the threads of night and day, A higher being, guiding sway.
Through whispers of the twilight’s grace, You dance in stars, a sacred space. With dreams like rivers, flowing bright, You cradle hope in endless light.
In silence deep, your presence gleams, A spark igniting our wildest dreams. O luminous guide, in your embrace, We find our truth, our destined place.
With every heartbeat, we align, In your soft glow, our spirits shine. Together we rise, unbound and free, Radiance of dreams, eternally.
LIGHT AND FLAME
Finished colored sketches of @bluegekk0's Radiance and NKG designs!
Wallpaper versions below
Tried my best, had to stick one of the horns back on with toothpick but I think it turned out alright
Headcanon that idk if anyone else has but I think it’s funny so I’m posting it anyways
The Pale King isn’t the one who put all the buzz saws in the white palace.
The Radiance did. She did it as a prank, Shade Lord helped set them all up one night.
Featuring a shitty PK and a Radiance sprite bc I can’t draw her for shit
