The Wyrm is referred to in-game as "it," while the Pale King is referred to consistently as "he."
CONCLUSION: Gods seem to be genderless or referred to as concepts instead of people. Since PK wants to be viewed as a bug like his people, he is gendered.
Fanart for Chapter 2 of This fic by @sleepykittties
Some alt versions and my ramblings under the cut!
Okay so:
I realised that the stripes were changed to one stripe in the redesign AFTER I had finished the colouring so they’re staying like this now L
The stars in the background are there because the song “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles, is on the playlist I’ve been looping since the start of this month.
The hearts in the background of the alt version are there because they’re technically more on theme than the stars so I wanted to at least have one version with hearts on it.
It took me so long to realise why this piece looked unfinished and then I added the screen glare to his face and was like “OH THAT’S WHAT IT WAS!”
Vox’s teeth are in fact meant to be completely flat, but I couldn’t make it look right, so he can have one little canine tooth, as a treat.
You may recognise the pose and expression here! That’s because I used this screenshot from episode 2 of the show as a reference:
This screenshot is from right before he goes to deal with Valentino, so I thought it was pretty fitting lol. The expression was also perfect for the situation—
if you've been writing hk fanfic and at some point you use the headcanon that thk is covered head to toe in protection seals via shell carving or tattoos or branding or whatever the hell else i want you to take a moment.
first of all you're so amazing and correctcore. next i want you to look at this
after that i want you to remember how large they are
and then after THAT i want you to take a good long look at this
okay? alright?
notice how there is no fanart of this headcanon? think about it - you've probably never actually seen anyone draw that.
