Genuinely fond of the booping mechanic as a way of getting some playful interaction with some of the folks who follow me that I am fond of and always appreciate seeing in my notes, but for whatever reason aren't currently mutuals. I tend to keep my dash fairly small and curated, just for personal reasons, but I truly am very fond of many of the people who've been following me for years, or who clearly share a number of overlapping interests, or who think of me fondly even though I'm a relative stranger, and it's fun to have a cute little way to poke those people throughout the day.

(This post is also my way of saying I appreciate a lot of you, whether you've been here for years or are a relatively recent follower; it's nice to have a little corner of the internet where I can be truly weird and I'm glad you're here)

So naturally because of the similarity of parents and children themes with Avatar and Hollow Knight (albeit Ozai doesn't have the cause that the Pale King did) I'm going to be curious as how Zuko takes any reveals that uh - being the approved of child by the dangerous parent is still a bad spot, just a different one and possibly worse because harder to get out. Ghost left behind - bad, but not essentially sacrificed to the Radiance. Hornet - pressure of protecting a crumbling kingdom going under.

Admittedly I'm sympathetic to Azula. Iroh is right she needs to be stopped - but she gets Ozai's attention and was given a simple way of not being in his ire "Don't be Zuko". Throw in Ozai not being subtle about isolating her (Mai's family sent across the sea about when Azula was old enough for summer long visits/explore the Fire Nation without constant supervision)

The man knew exactly what he was doing with finally giving Azula some level of control over her life - as a military operative. (Whose first acts was to get Mai and Tylee because her friends.) Abusive father - just Azula went the appease route and unlike Hollow her parent desires destruction.

ATLA is such a good show, and the parallels between characters and themes in ATLA and Hollow Knight was part of the reason I wanted to attempt to crossover the two medias in the first place. You've got manipulative kings on opposite side of the spectrums (Sacrificing everything for the greater good vs for your own personal gain) and children being used and manipulated, knowingly (Hollow, Hornet to some extent) or unknowingly (Azula, Zuko at first).

That said, Azula is such a cool character I really want to get her right when she shows up. I've come up with at least three different ways I could write her when her important scenes start happening, and I honestly haven't fully committed to which direction to go in yet.

you are very good at knitting!

Thank you! The Ghost amigurumi is actually a crochet project, I am scared to attempt knitting :)

The hardest part about rereading your own work to remember what you've written before is finding all the typos and grammatical errors hiding in what is rapidly approaching 90k words.

#That said I am back to working on the next chapter of lswg #but also expect the chapters currently up to have minor grammar and typo edits

i dont want to be That Person, but when do you think you'll be able to update lswg? it's been a while, and im really enjoying it so far! i dont want to rush you or come off as rude, sorry.

on another note, how would hollow even fit on appa? are you going to be ignoring their size when it comes to travel, or are they light enough to make it work somehow? does the gaang need to think of creative ways to get hollow attached to appa? or is hollow not going to be riding appa at all?

Anon, I am clawing inch by agonizing inch to get my Master's degree right now, so I'm gonna be real honest and say I don't know when I can get the next chapter out. Maybe at the end of this semester, maybe not. It all depends on if I can find free time between classwork and my actual job and then find the motivation to write during that limited time. Current chapter is only about halfway to two-thirds done of getting through the plot points I want to hit. Zuko is getting his ass handed to him by Hornet, Ghost is freaking out the Gaang, all is as it should be.

That said, I always want to chat about this fic! Void beings, and bugs in general weigh very little and are very strong. Members of the Gaang have noticed that Ghost is particularly light, but they are also tiny so it kinda makes sense to them. However, Hollow is very big, so the Gaang are going to be (rightly) skeptical that Appa can carry them. Hornet is going to demonstrate that Hollow is not that heavy by picking Hollow up by their legs, spooking everyone else out.

Hollow gets to curl up in the back of Appa's saddle, taking up a decent amount of space, but they are perfectly content to let other's take naps on them if they need to.

I spent months learning music composition just so I could make a song about Hornet's no good very bad first day in Pharloom.

do you think if Hornet tied some silk between the horns of her mask, she could use it like a slingshot?

Hornet? No. Too awkward of positioning to do herself. Ghost on the other hand....

The fallen king...

I like to think that the pale king was a desperate king who tried to save his subjects, instead of a monster that killed his spawn
