#THIS IS SUCH A GUD FIC HHHHHH

[fauxbia]

For the ask thing, what are your opinions on Hornet, the favorite pointy spider?

Oh hell yeah Hornet beloved

First impression Once again, my first impression was from the Hollow Knight Wiki because I spoiled myself Horribly on the game. It was basically just Ooh, she's the Knight's sister? That's really cool! Her design is nice.

Impression now HORNET BELOVED Like I don't know she's just very compelling to me and I love her design so much. She's eloquent with her words but blunt to a fault, she's a good person that's in a terrible situation, and she's had to kill her own siblings to protect Hallownest from the fate of another failed attempt to get rid of the Infection. There is so much angst potential with that!! So much!! So that's just a cherry on top lmao I don't know!!! She's just!!! Beloved!! and also she's so gay and it's impossible to convince me otherwise. look at this spider and tell me she's not gay. you can't.

Favorite moment Hhhhhh I don't know. I'd say it's a three-way. There's the moment where she Ghost at the exit to the Abyss, after they've made an important step forward in fully remembering their past and being able to bring a true end to the Infection; her faith in Ghost and their ability to defeat the Radiance is strengthened, and she urges them to seek that path because she's beginning to truly believe that they can do it—they've made it this far, and they can pursue a true end. Then there's also when Ghost awakens from killing Herrah and finds her there. She's conflicted on how to feel—it hurts, so badly to knowingly let her mother die, but it's her duty and it's for the greater good of finally bringing an end to the Infection haunting Hallownest. She sits at the bedside where her mother once slept, and she allows a moment of vulnerability—probably the first one in a long time. And finally there's the infamous GIT GUD moment. It's very brief, but it's just such a good moment. THK has been weakened by the battle, and she risks her life to intervene and provide Ghost an opening to reach the Radiance and end this once and for all. She knows they can accomplish that end, and she places her life in their hands so that they may reach it. It's meaningful,,,

Idea for a story Oh Hmm I Don't Know maybe an AU where Ghost escapes the Abyss via Deepnest and baby Hornet finds them and kidnaps takes them home to be raised by Herrah alongside her in Deepnest—oh wait I'm already (trying to) work on that, huh. Hehehe

Unpopular opinion Hhhhh I'm so terrible at these last three questions... Honestly, I'm not too invested in the Child of Three Queens thing. I think it's hella cool, but—I don't know. I'm just not too invested in it.

Favorite relationship Aaaahghjk I'm going by, like, canon relationships and there IS NONE basically! I love the relationship she begins to form with Ghost as they pass her tests and gain her trust, and the derisive nickname of 'ghost' becomes 'Ghost of Hallownest' and she is able to show a moment of vulnerability and place her life in their hands and—I wish it could have been more fleshed out in game! But the actual endings of the game make a lot of sense and fit perfectly with the story, so I guess that's just for fics... sigh

Favorite headcanon Uhh. The headcanon that she was a feral chaos baby when she was young? It's supported by, like, no evidence whatsoever and yet it's pretty much universally accepted among the fandom and it is so great. She deserves to have caused many a migraine among the guardian figures in her childhood!! Go Hornet go cause mass chaos wooooooo

#AHSDJkjmsfn #my pfp is hornet it's pretty expected that i just basically go 'hornet beloved' for this entire thing #anyway
