Sometimes I like to think of Ghost/The Knight once they become part of the void as this weird void puppy thing.
Like, the idea that because they're void they can almost transform into different forms tickles my brain so much. I also imagine they could take on forms of the different enemies they kill or something, I don't know.

Hello, this is your spoiler warning for hollow knight and its sequel silksong
So, what do we know about the void?
The void is a form of nature, not a god but formerly worshiped nontheless.
It's located everywhere when you dig deep enough, it's like our earths core. The reason why so deep down is because of the darkness it brings.
I think it has two things composing it
Void fluid and void tendrils
The void fluid is probably what makes it so the silk in silksong get the void quality, the void tendrils seem to be only the inhabitans, like fish in water.
Void tendrils do not always lie deep in the void but are near its surface also!
The void tendrils may be more hostile than the void liquid but since we see in the godhome ending cutscene and dive sequence in silksong it may be also harmful.
Void can be molded into several thing ranging from the wingmolds to the collector. That's probably because it "likes" to possess living bugs, that's why it uses grandmothers silks silk and possess lace
That's why it is easily molded into form and turns the babies of the pale king and white lady into the vessels we know. But it still hates to be contained(?)
For the hating to be contained, i don't know on that one! In the kings workshop the containers are hard and indestructable, while by silksong the weavers put it into a jar and it's not complaining that much!
So it may hate to be not be in control?
The reason why our favourite void creatures (vessels, those crawler things and more) aren't here because this is purely about the void, not about creatures out of void (the shades and the siblings) nor the bugs that culture have that (snail charmens)
If you read it this far and have info i forgot or your own headcanons, write them in the comments below.
This post may get updated when finding more information!
Love ur art — pls drop ur headcanons about the lighthouse keeper in the abyss !!!
I'm glad you like it! ~
Oh, it's just a small fantasy on what a horror story might come out of this!
...Imagine how scary it is to be left all alone, isolated in such a place. All you have is a small room in the lighthouse, in the middle of a chthonic land of all-consuming darkness. The fact that Void is dangerous for most living things does not make the situation any better; you will go insane.
"...Turn it off?... Cannot... My King. I'm sorry... The sea calls..." - are lighthouse keeper's last thoughts, which can be read if you use Dream Nail on their corpse. From their perspective, looks like something asked them to turn the lighthouse off.
There are also a lot of Shades near the lighthouse, more than anywhere else in the Abyss. They are aggressive and quickly return if you attack and drive them away. They leave if you turn the lighthouse on, so I assume they protect the lighthouse from being turned on; they do not like light. Void itself does not like light. So... did it ask to turn the light off?
I imagine it as a classic horror story about the lonely lighthouse keeper who starts out as a devoted Royal Retainer doing their job, but slowly goes mad from isolation and the feeling that Void itself speaks to them, without even words, persistently creeping into their mind - haunting, immense and incomprehensible, like the will of the darkness itself...
They also likely have no idea who Shades even are... seeing them hiding around, quietly staring with their glowing eyes, avoiding the light but ready to attack if you step into the dark... yeah, I imagine that would be doubly scary. The will of darkness can be just a paranoia caused by isolation, but seeing Shades staring from this very darkness is pure horror.
The Abyss is staring back at you...
The King will never return. No one will come. All they have is the light of the lighthouse that protects them, but they know the darkness wants to turn it off. The sea calls... the light dared to violate its realm, and now it will claim it back.

Would you kill me if I made a Hollow Knight AU version of an OC that barely looks like a HK character? The lore for this version of him is that he was once a bug, and their soul was implanted into a vat of void.
