(4/4) At any rate, this is the last stop on the Deepnest field trip, but not the last chapter in this arc. After all, Lace is rapidly careening towards a breakdown, especially given how majorly Hornet just misstepped, even with good intentions. There are consequences to be had. But first, Bug Yaoi!

(3/4) Hornet and Lace visit the Weaver’s Den and encounter Mindola, the Last of the First Daughters that stayed in Hallownest when the plague broke out. But rather than some wicked creature… we meet an old woman who has been afraid for nearly her whole life, even when she no longer remembered why.

Preview for Chapter 12 of my #hollowknight #silksong fancomic: Hornet and Lace encounter the sole living occupant of the Weaver's Den. How do you suppose this conversation is going to pan out...?

(3/4) Second stop on the Deepnest field trip! Hornet’s plan begins to take shape. I’ve been very excited about this chapter for a very long time–enough that I broke my six-page rule to make sure I’d covered everything.

Cooldown for this chapter is a properly illustrated cover for my #HollowKnight #Silksong Fancomic: To Bind Our Echoes That We May Be Whole! I tend not to think in color for this comic. That and the switch to a more painterly style, made this a bit of a challenge. I like how it turned out though!

(3/4) Hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone Engage with the pain as a motive Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths Time for the Deepnest field trip! First stop, the Distant Village, and the last of Hornet’s many homecomings. Little has changed in her absence, and yet everything is different now.

(4/4) Also, Shakra left the party because she can’t see in the dark like Hornet (and apparently Lace) can, and needs to go buy a Lumafly lantern. Hope she’s been saving up her Geo! (At least the inflation isn’t nearly as bad as Pharloom…)

Vise the Mantis, an OC from my Silksong fancomic! I’m remembering that I’m not an animator. At any rate, my cooldown this time around was stretching a different art-muscle, so have a himbo mantis in motion. #hollowknight #silksong

(5/5) And if you’re wondering what’s going on with Hollow’s cloak in the flashback sequences, @snowleopardferret.bsky.social made a diagram on proper Vessel husbandry: bsky.app/profile/did:...

I headcanon that the cloaks we see on all Vessels are a specialized kind of leaf. They are half Wyrm and half Root; they had to have gotten something from their mother after all. Pretentious details in the alt text. #hollowknight #hollowknightfanart

(3/5) We’re just gonna… detour away from whatever conversation the Green Prince is having with the Mantis Lord. Don’t worry, it’s a secret tool that’ll help us later. Instead, we get a conversation between Hornet and Vise about the distance between gods and mortals.

(3/3) Lace, Hollow, and Shakra are chilling together in the Queen’s Gardens; meanwhile, it’s time for more Mantis Politics! A look at what’s happening with Deepnest, Hornet’s immediate plans, and Vise’s leadership ability. Also, the Green Prince has a bit of a crash out! It was probably overdue…

(3/3) Looks like the Green Prince has finally stopped dissociating long enough to participate in the plot. It’s probably because of the Emotional Support Grubs. At any rate, it's mantis politics, ft. Vise, an OC mantis who until recently existed in my notes exclusively as “Himbo Mantis.”

(3/3) Folks have been asking about whether Ghost and/or the Shade Lord will make an appearance! Well, it doesn’t happen this chapter either! Instead we get a totally different miracle: some of the characters are actually communicating with each other (with varying degrees of emotional honesty).

(3/3) A brief look into Lace’s mind! She is so very, very normal, and coping in healthy ways. We also learn a little more about what Hollow has been up to since the end of the first game… (They didn’t mean to wake her, but they weren’t expecting her to perceive them either.)
