tumblr, i am ever-so curious: how would you all expect hollow to eat soup? through their void tendrils? through a mouth? their eyes? some combination of those?
tired 👍
There is truly no greater love than taking your most adored fictional character and throwing them into the emotionally-devastating angst fueled trash compactor and pressing every single button on the machine just to see what will happen
shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.
moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over.Â
put on clean, comfortable clothes.Â
put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.
drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.
clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink.Â
blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.
make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.Â
make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.
go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.
call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.
cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.
You know what I always considered a really weird detail about the Pure Vessel's cut Dream Nail Dialog?
"Do not think, do not speak, do not hope, do not..."
"Do not speak"
Why? Why 'speak'? Why that word, specifically?
"Because it references back to the "No mind to think no will to break, no voice to cry suffering" thing, duh.
Well, yes.
But the other two parts of PV's DN dialog directly contradicts two of the requirements the King gave for a "Pure Vessel" -
Hollow CAN think; the dialog itself is proof of that.
And Hollow, by the very fact that they need to tell themselves NOT to hope, suggested that they did have some sort of hope they were attempting not to experience. To hope is to have a will for something, a desire, a wish. A will that the Radiance HAD broken to infect them.
So that just leaves us with "Do not Speak" and "No Voice to Cry Suffering"...
And if Hollow has a mind and a will...
Do they also possess a voice as well?
Why else would the word "Speak" be used as the direct contradiction for "No Voice"? Why else would the Pure Vessel need to remind themselves to not speak?
It makes me wonder if the King was wrong about even that aspect of the Vessel(s).
And the other thing that I find interesting: What is the Pure Vessel refraining themselves from saying? What do they want to say that they aren't allowing themselves to?
Just some food for thought
my brain is so full of hollow knight but my blogs (esp this one) are unusually bereft of it
anyway heres a meme
tomorrow? who knows...
