so i did some quick concept sketches of herrah!! (VERY RAW im probably gonna change them) found this wicked lookin medieval hat (not sure if it has a specific name, so far i think its a type of escoffion or a hennin????question mark? if anyone knows more please lmk!!)
honestly i find double-horned hats insanely cool (tangent here we go)
another one i wanted to base herrah's and hornet's gijinkas off of are these beauties (horned kika/kichka, a tyype of yee olde russian women's hat. theyre kinda hard to research and i havent looked into them too much but they look so cool!)
ngl kinda want to do a couple of designs more heavily based on these cuz i luv them sm!
also fun fact historical fashion and headwear in general was a big reason why i wanted to even make hk gijinkas in the 1st place. not gonna pretend that everything i draw is historically sound, my intention was moreso to make chars with memorable hats. although it's ironic that i didnt give like half of the chars i drew any lol
Am I the only one who cannot wait for the Silksong BUT also for the new fanfictions AND fanarts that the Silksong will bring?
Design not the fight
Reblog this imaging it for a experiment
bugfriends watching some lumaflies :]]

You know what I always considered a really weird detail about the Pure Vessel's cut Dream Nail Dialog?
"Do not think, do not speak, do not hope, do not..."
"Do not speak"
Why? Why 'speak'? Why that word, specifically?
"Because it references back to the "No mind to think no will to break, no voice to cry suffering" thing, duh.
Well, yes.
But the other two parts of PV's DN dialog directly contradicts two of the requirements the King gave for a "Pure Vessel" -
Hollow CAN think; the dialog itself is proof of that.
And Hollow, by the very fact that they need to tell themselves NOT to hope, suggested that they did have some sort of hope they were attempting not to experience. To hope is to have a will for something, a desire, a wish. A will that the Radiance HAD broken to infect them.
So that just leaves us with "Do not Speak" and "No Voice to Cry Suffering"...
And if Hollow has a mind and a will...
Do they also possess a voice as well?
Why else would the word "Speak" be used as the direct contradiction for "No Voice"? Why else would the Pure Vessel need to remind themselves to not speak?
It makes me wonder if the King was wrong about even that aspect of the Vessel(s).
And the other thing that I find interesting: What is the Pure Vessel refraining themselves from saying? What do they want to say that they aren't allowing themselves to?
Just some food for thought
Its shaking hand clutched at the fistful of feathers. Wisps of smoky darkness oozed from between its fingers - floating into the air and dripping to stain the ground simultaneously.
Void.
They were all void.
Gone was its holy plumage of shimmering pale light - wings now gleaming only with wicked black emptiness. Every shaft and barb coated in the physical manifestation of its greatest sin.
