I adore you’re art style xx when the vessel was still pretending to be pure before the sealing what do you think would happen if someone that wasn’t the pale king or white lady discovered they’re impurities? Cause I love the idea of them lashing out in a moment of stress but also, hear me out, they have a really moment of genuine joy/happiness. For example herrah showed them baby hornet for the first time and they started fussing over her without realizing it or starting purring or sm. Or they see something really pretty or cool and can’t help but stare ect
I just really want hollow to be happy, sorry for the weird question but I just wanted your opinion xx keep up the amazing art xox
NO, IT'S NOT A WEIRD QUESTION AT ALL, I LOVE THAT
PV revealing they're not truly hollow in a moment of unbridled joy is such a bittersweet idea. It's cute but you just KNOW some absolute shitshow is gonna follow.
I feel like what would happen varies greatly on who saw it and what they did;
I feel like people who were close to and loyal to the Pale King would disregard very subtle signs because the king is the expert and he says they're hollow, so it must be true, right?
People like Herrah though? She knows he's full of shit and would be more sceptical if she saw something like this.
I think things like starting at things they find pretty or tilting their head towards music they enjoy would be more likely to get disregarded as a response to stimuli. Things like fretting over their baby sister or purring to her? Yeah, considerably less so. (though I think if Pale King was in enough denial he'd try to rationalise it as a parental instinct of sorts, but would have to face the truth at some point)
This actually reminds me of the scenario I thought up recently, where the dreamers find out because they found Pure Vessel playing with their little sister (they're also closer in age in that AU so they're still a baby themself). I feel like Herrah would be ready to go scorch earth for this baby and perhaps would even assume the worst in Pale King and think he knew but lied to all of them.
Or that AU where Herrah kidnapped adopted little Pure because she found out and decided she's not gonna let a child go through that, so they grow up in Deepnest with their little sister- actually, have this Deepnest princet sprite edit I made a long time ago
Tumblr media
They've got LAYERS to cover up their identity a little better (ik it doesn't look like an outfit you'd find anybody wearing in-game but I couldn't stop myself from adding more details for fun) I ended up naming them Silk in that AU :]
