The King has asked Herrah to be one of his Dreamers, but she was not one to sacrifice herself for the man who had turned the entirety of Hallownest against her people. Harsh life lessons had taught her to always have a plan in place, and thanks to that, she knew just how to get her revenge on the wyrm. She had caught the Pale King in her web, and how she was ready to watch him writhe.
I've uploaded the newest story in my series, "Until We Dream," which is a counterpart to "The King's Bargain" but told from Herrah's POV~ I hope you all enjoy it!
More color palette challenges, this time with the Dreamers! Once again, the palettes are from @color-palettes and were chosen based on title
Monomon - Deep Sea Science
Herrah - I’m Sorry That I Left You There in the Darkness
Lurien - Are You Aware of My Presence, Watching and Unbreathing?
Bruh, I absolutely LOVE love children. I don’t think y’all understand how badly I NEED them in my life. I must know all your cute headcanons about a child of your favorite ships! That stuff breathes LIFE into me!
I beg you, please feed me so I won’t starve ;A;
Herrah the Beast has accepted the role as one of the Dreamers, but only under one condition: The Pale King is to bear a child with her. Desperate to get the final Dreamer in his plans, the King accepts, but quickly finds that this deal would entail much more than he initially anticipated.
Hey gang! I've finally finished my Fanfic~! Come check it out if you want to see my take on this event in Hallownest history!
Behold! The BUGGOS as traditional RPG classes! (That wasn't what it started out as, but by golly, that's what it finished as, lol)
Kabbu is a warrior, Vi is a rogue, and Leif is a spellcaster!
Some headcanons I thought of while doodling this:
Vi's secret stash is full of stolen goods (Or as she calls it, "unknowingly donated" goods).
In place of his horn, Kabbu fights with a spear, though he may occasionally headbutt using his horn.
Leif is blind and uses his magic to sense the world around him (think like Toph/earthbending).
Welp. This was originally meant to be a concept sketch for an alternate Herrah design. Somehow it turned into a whole entire picture, lol
Did myself a little color palette challenge with the HK characters~! The colors are from @color-palettes and were chosen based on which title matched each character.
Ghost - The Moon's Sea of Blood Hollow - Crushed Under a Terrible Weight (did add one extra color to this one) Hornet - Bloodwoven Quirrel - Do You Have Any of Her Memories?
Random Leif doodle to practice some coloring/shading
As a random aside, every time I draw Leif my brothers call him Spiderman, and I stgif they do it again I'm gonna yeet them both out the window (ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻
Thank ya! I do have some answers to these!
I have actually juggled around some ideas for what mortal Radiance would look like, though I haven’t quite settled on one specific one. I’ve been digging around Tumblr looking at other people’s interpretations of her tho and trying to come up with my own.
I had always thought the mossy vagabonds were already infected by the time you first reach them. So their praise of the Radiance was more due to the infection’s influence than anything having to do with their own devotion.
As for my interpretation of the Seer giving the Dream Nail to the knight, I’d thought of it as her attempt to either a) see if the knight could quell her rage and bring her back to the deity she once was, or b) stop her rampage, as the Seer is well aware of the damage her goddess has caused (at least, that was my interpretation for her last line before she disappears, about atoning for her clan’s mistakes). She still believes in the Radiance, but she is not following merely on blind faith. She is aware of what her Goddess has become, but she still hopes that things can be made right, whatever that may be.
I.. actually totally forgot about that line, tbh xD I might have to rethink on that headcanon then, lol. Perhaps some kind of argument between them, or her trying to reinstate her reign by being like “NO NIGHTMARES, ONLY DREAMS”
Could anyone share their opinions/theories/headcanons about the Pale King, the Radiance, and their feud?
My personal headcanons:
Before the Pale King, the Radiance was not a malicious being. She was a little distant and had a bit of an intimidating aura to her, but she was never cruel and heartless.
(Saw this headcanon from someone else, I wish I could remember who it was Dx) The Radiance, like the other Higher Beings, once had a “mortal” form. The Pale King was the one who robbed her of it, beginning her sheer hatred for him and those who worshiped him.
It was once her own people forgot about her and began worshiping the Pale King that her true “villain arc” began. She had snapped with rage and created the infection to enact her vengeance against the kingdom that turned its back on her.
After so many centuries of feeling this hatred for the Pale King/his worshipers, she eventually lost herself completely to her madness.
The infected do not attack anyone who willingly worships her. It is the reason the Resting Grounds (or at least the “above ground” section of it) has no infected beings—because the Seer, her last priest, resides there.
And one (kinda but not really) related headcanon:
The Radiance does not see Nightmare King Grimm as an enemy. Partly because he also holds disdain for the Pale King, but also because the Radiance sees him as the Yin to her Yang. After all, people can’t truly appreciate a dream until they’ve experienced a nightmare.
Could anyone share their opinions/theories/headcanons about the Pale King, the Radiance, and their feud?
Will I ever draw Monomon consistently? Who knows!
Anyway, have two cuties being goobers~

Random Hollow Knight headcanons, Herrah edition:
Despite the confident, outward persona she projects, Herrah actually has a very low opinion of herself. This is a result of being called "the Beast," not just by Hallownest but even the Deepnest spiders before she became queen.
When Herrah met her future husband, she did not realize he was the King of Deepnest, as she'd never been near the village nor socialized with any of the "normal" spiders of Deepnest. He didn't mention it to her for the longest time because he liked being treated like a normal person, and worried her knowing would change her attitude towards him.
Herrah's passion towards leading the people has sprung from two different places: --It was her husband's pride and joy. He loved his people and that love extended to Herrah once she married him. She looks after her people as a way to honor her late husband --She has very closely tied her worth to her ability to be a good queen. She gets very insulted when someone questions her as a leader.
Herrah is a very proficient warrior. Her skills were built from the ground up, as she had to live most of her life on her own. She's become a master of fighting, hunting, tracking, etc.
Before she met her husband, Herrah had no aspirations. She believed "the Beast" couldn't have the luxury of dreaming for anything bigger than the life she had.
After meeting her husband, Herrah begins dreaming of having a happy, loving family. She knows it sounds corny and wouldn't admit it aloud to anyone she wasn't close to.
She blames herself for her husband's bloodline ending. She was never able to produce an heir for him, and so her most vital role as queen was never delivered. There are some days she wishes he took a mistress just so his bloodline could live on.
Happy Pride, y'all ♥
I'm probably a minority in this headcanon, but have an aroace Hornet to celebrate ♥
Random doodling of concepts for alternate Hornet and Quirrel designs…
Yes I like drape-y fabrics, lol
Magia Record just announced end of service. It’s sad to see it go, but I had been expecting it for a while. Thank you for all the awesome memories, and thank you for helping me get through some really tough times during the pandemic. You helped me to connect with a community that loved the same anime as me and had some very interesting concepts for expanding on the Madoka Magica world.
You will never be forgotten, Magia Record 💕
Screw you and your cringe culture *Yeets a lovechild atchu*

Hi gang! I'm here to show off a Bug Fables comic I just started working, on: Fractured Shell. I don't want to say too much about it yet, but I hope you enjoy this first half to the prologue!
Did a doodle of Chell for an OC collab project @flame-shadow is doing with the BF community~
Chell's super shy nature might leave her as a bit of a wallflower at a get-together, but she's perfectly fine with that. Chell is happiest when she's able to easily blend in with a crowd.
It's been a hot minute since I've been able to do anything as far as either writing or drawing, so I'm gonna toss a doodle I did a while ago of me and my stream companion Enigma as Bug Fables characters ♥
Someone help me I have a bug infestation in my brain

Omg this game has me so addicted, I swear. I always love finding new games (and a new Boi™) to obsess over.

Another dreamer fanfic~ Though keep in mind this one is M-rated, so proceed with caution before reading!
When you want to add a character to Stream Avatars, but they don't have any attacking animations, what do you do? The only logical thing an artist would do: Make one myself!
I had to have Queen Elizant II as an avatar. We all stan a queen who SLAYS, and this woman was ready to THROW HANDS when her kingdom was in danger. Respect, loll.
Fun fact, this is actually my first finished animation is CSP, and I'm very proud of it~!
Been a while since I drew the bug crew~ Also featuring my OC, Chell~
Have I mentioned that Chell is terrified of Leif?
I have no excuse other than this popped into my head and wouldn't leave until I drew it shdjkfls
