AU Summaries for new Followers

Feral Vessel AU - (tagged as #shitlordAU)

The first AU I came up with. Initially it was a for shits and giggles scenario that grew into a whole angsty thing. The general idea is that Ghost went back in time to the moment where they try to exit the Abyss. They get out at the same time as the Pure Vessel and make it their singular goal to make PK’s life a living hell (through pranks)

However, the angsty part comes in when Ghost realized they don’t have access to their dream nail, so they can’t get to the Godseekers and ascend to fight Absolute Radiance. Time is ticking and they are quietly panicking.

Other little details: White Lady dotes on Ghost. Ghost and White Lady are also developing their own sign language from scratch. Ghost has lots of feelings.

Pale Jester AU - (tagged as #PaleJesterAU)

This one is based off of the Fae concept that if you give someone your name, they own it as if it were an item. Like when someone asks you “may I have your name” its because they want your name like an object instead of just wanting to know it. Thats what happened between Nightmare King Grimm and PK. NKG found PK’s lingering light about to be choked out silently from the void and offered an escape.

PK took it. Now he dances with the Grimm Troupe under the guise of Pale Jester with no memory or recollection of who he once was. Whenever faced with something familiar, he feels the emotional impact of the encounter but never understands how important it is as the Nightmare Heart keeps his old memories locked up tight.

Other little details: All the troupe members know who PJ was except for PJ. PJ still has his half of the kingsoul charm. This AU gives me lots of feelings

Dragon AU - (tagged as #HKDragonAU)

Interpreting the use of Wyrm as Dragon because I said so. This one is def the most indulgent for me cause I love medieval fantasy. It’s still a work in progress so not much is built up yet.

PK is a dragon so therefore the vessels are dragons hence Hornet is half dragon and so Herrah fucked a dragon. Grimm is a Seelie Fae and Radiance is an Unseelie Fae. WL is a goddess based off of Druantia. Myla is alive and shaped like a friend

Other little details: The vessels have tail spades that look like their ingame nails.

Pale Child AU - (tagged as #PaleChildAU)

Ever wondered what an offspring of root and wyrm would look like if they weren’t cursed by void? Wonder no more! Monomon stole a developing embryo from one of the royal eggs before they were cast into the abyss and whisked it away to Fog Canyon. There she placed it in a test tube and watched it grow and thrive.

Other little details: Quirrel is big bro, PK senses somethings up but is too busy dealing with the infection to investigate

Actor AU - (tagged as #BehindTheKnight)

Your average “characters in game are really played by actors” au where shenanigans are had in character and out of character.

Aliens and HK Crossover - (tagged as #HollowMorphsAU)

Hey so you know how PK did a fucked up thing in canon? Well in this crossover we take that fucked up thing and make it rated R. PK is one of the last Engineers. He came to Earth and promised enlightenment to bring humankind into a new era. Needless to say there aren’t a lot of governments left.

There are two timelines. 

Timeline W: where the White Lady is an Albino Xenomorph Queen to whom PK blatantly flirts with. WL is intrigued and wooed. 

Timeline R: where the Shadelord is the Xenomorph Queen and this timeline is closer to hollow knight lore where the Xenomorph vessels are born out of root, wyrm and void.

Other details: there is a rival hive called the Radiance Hive, they’re infected with xeno-rabies which destroys worlds, Weavers are Predators

If you like my silly aus and hollow knight content and want to support me in my fanatical creative escapades I have a ko-fi that you can donate to!

As we saw in Darknight’s Memoir, taking a fallen Sarkaz’ gear, especially their weapon, means to succeed them, to inherit their name and perhaps more. To take a fallen Sarkaz’ weapon is a big responsibility, something charged with meaning.

I went back to look at the Arknights trailers, and a particular scene in the second trailer finally makes more sense:

At one point, Amiya says “We were betrayed” while we see an unknown woman running a sword through her. The logical explanation would be to think, obviously, that this woman, whoever she is, betrayed Amiya and wounded her at some point… But, that woman is clearly Theresa.

Her hair, horns, and clothing match.

And that sword, we’ve seen it:

It’s the sword that Amiya materialized out of nowhere to kill the first Skullshatterer, when he was bumrushing past the Rhodes Island-Lungmen defensive line to kill Doctor directly.

What looks like Theresa stabbing Amiya as Amiya says “we were betrayed” could possibly be Theresa passing her weapon to Amiya in her last moments after Theresa had been dealt a deathblow. The act of betrayal being referenced isn’t Theresa betraying Amiya, the act of betrayal is perhaps how Theresa was dealt the deathblow, possibly meaning that Theresa’s death was an inside job, and the scene is showing us Amiya inheriting Theresa’s sword, and with it, her mission, Rhodes Island, and

likely, her rings.

It’s honestly disarmingly impressive how much Darknight’s Memoir has given us for speculation, especially if you look back at the trailers and the first chapters.

another happy fu hua thursday
