certified hornet enjoyer

been fighting the cogwork dancers and like they obviously guard entry into the cogwork core and also the information that you have to find the 3 melodies but the fact that they explode after you defeat them implies that either there’s no non-destructive defeat mechanism because no one was ever supposed to defeat them (more than once), or that hornet just hit them too hard too fast and she’s an outlier. like maybe they DO stop and bow and let you be after you pass their test or smth. it would be really funny.

i rocket violently between "this is so hard and i cant see myself ever going anywhere with it" and "yayy getting better at things is so fun i love my videogames #myvideogames" and then one day ill either git gud or die

"whats the BEST/WORST crest in silksong???" watch cyv7's any% 48:17 wr with hunters. okay now watch umiyuri's hitless coral tower with beast. now watch them also hitless parry bosses with beast. okay now watch travage's 100% 4:33:44 wr starting with hunters and ending with wanderers with architects and shamans in the middle. okay now rewind that and watch the shamans brightvein climb again without input overlay and tell me what buttons are being pressed. okay now set up the achitects karmelita quick-kill. explain the reapers exclusive cloakless underworks walljump skip. now do flea bounce with every crest until you hit 70. now calculate the damage from witch bind + multibinder + claw mirrors + warding bell. watch organizingbee run witch any% and talk about new harpoon tech. now watch the slab% wr by 8biggy in 22:03 and lose it at how absolutely ridiculous speedrun movement looks when hornet's naked. fight gms while cursed again. pick up sawtooth circlet. put down sawtooth circlet. inject joy and whimsy for different playstyles into your heart. do the hokey pokey.

i keep thinking about it. we give the pale king a lot of shit and deservedly so but you know if i thought the only way to contain the radiance was to seal her in a vessel forever i would also want that vessel to not be a person. like i would not in fact want that to be a guy capable of suffering. id love if the vessel was just a Thing like just a Container and could not be harmed by being trapped with an angry god inside it for a presumed eternity. now, unfortunately,

i’ve seen the meme both ways: no one can agree on how shakra should talk to short people.
