Mine has to be either The creature or ronald. ronald is just so cute. cats are so cute, in general.

Genuinely, on my PVZ2 replay, i was renting plants just to check 'em out, you know, for more variety, we all do that, RIGHT?! and, i just so happened to roll a slingshot plant that i heard everyone tends to shit on, so, i chose him, thinking "well, the art cant be THAT bad!" it is, vro. WHAT IS THIS?

looks like some goofy "fire" stock image you'd use in your powerpoints in elementary school, lowkey. And they didnt even bother with giving it a semi-smooth animation. IT JUST ROTATES AND INVINCIBLE WOBBLES ACROSS THE SCREEN 😭🥀

This just a screenshot, though, bc i cant for the life of me figure out how to screenrecord on my samsung phone.

btw, just now realized- you can literally see the red parts peeking out from under the yellow areas in some bits. they drew this in MS paint in less than 5 minutes, im sure.

Also, sorry if this post was overly negative, i tried to add some jokes in so it doesnt just turn into i hate this mug.

fun fact: the elephant doesnt take up too much of the screen, thus, it is not a violation of the rules. it takes up less than 98%, because atoms have empty space between them.

I hate xenomorphs from the movie "alien" they are genuinely some of the most icky horror-action monsters, up there with facehuggers.

OH NO, RULE 2!!

So, lets immediately jump to the end of the mini-movie. Think of it from runmo's perspective. you tear someones head off thinking its a way to solve your videogame mid-life crisis, but that actually causes reality to collapse around you and an otherworldly voice say some stuff that scares you shitless and then this massive jellyfish entity over 20x your size manifests around you and traps you in a bubble as you float through the shifting and endlessly bisecting geometry of this ethereal void that has consumed your entire world.

Not to even MENTION that the meatball man is a sphere of raw flesh roughly the same size as grobletumbus.

edit: i just remembered that goose has said that, like, 90% of their ideas are from their dreams. THEY KNEW HOW UTTERLY HORRIFYING THIS IS FROM THE START 💔😭

Alright, boisengirls, you ready for a structured guide on every route in silksong? lets go!! yippy!

First, uhh, we got the routes, theres the genocide route, normal route, juice route, and the void route. very few routes, but theres lots of sub-endings and stuff tied to these routes.

the genocide route is where you kill every enemy and boss in the game, to make an enemy become endangered (very few of them spawn, good for courier's rasher) you have to kill a minimum of 50 of that enemy, but to initiate a genocide route, you have to kill 60 of every enemy in the game + defeat every optional and mandatory boss. it can be aborted whenever you want, but that locks out of a few unique bosses later on. If you beat the game on a genocide route, the ending has hornet turn into a feral and territorial beast, killing and devouring anyone or anything that enters her territory.

The normal route is, as detailed, the normal route, no en mass killing enemies, no void corruption, no education, and you get a "fulfilling" ending if you do it, but it locks you out of certain bosses exclusive to genocide route or juice route.

You activate the juice route by completing the secret optional DLC quest, "Juice Education" (only accessible in act 4 and 5). if you claim the quest, you must go to an area far above the surface, above the cradle, above everything, locked behind a sensor that you need to fill with juice to unlock. To earn juice, you must kill surface enemies and then absorb their juice to grow stronger, once you enter the schoolzone, the area above the surface, you will be greeted by an NPC, and later boss that locks you onto the juice route, ms. slithers. She asks you some trivia about juice, and if you answer even ONE of the 3 questions wrong, she instakills you with her juice-powered eyelasers. but if you answer her questions right, she gives you a juice diploma, which increases the amount of juice you can collect. and if you get more than 1000 juice, you get to fight the ms. slithers boss, and she gives you all of her juice, which you can then fashion into a red tool in the faculty only room, called the juice cannon. its super strong, but you need 200 juice per shot. crafting the juice cannon locks you onto the juice route. the juice route ending has hornet transcend with juice at the end when she kills shade lord, and she becomes the goddess of juice. However, you cannot have a genocide route AND a juice route at the same time because the juice that radiates off of the juice cannon that hornet has in her inventory keeps on reflourishing life behind her.

Theres also the Juice Booty subroute to the Juice Route, basically, here you only kill ms. slithers and dont craft the juice cannon. this causes all the excess juice to fall into hornet's booty, which makes her booty very heavy. its sort of like an alternative buff to the juice cannon, bc this is like weighted belt but better. its very absurd, i know, but thats what happens when you do subroutes.

Sorry if the juice route was a bit complicated, anyway, its time for the void route, basically, in act 8, after you kill burned mutated livid grey prince trobbio, he drops the silk soul, right? but then in act 9, you can corrupt the silk soul with void by forcing it into a shade, then, in act 10, this corrupted silk soul will actually result in an ending where the shade lord absorbs hornet and not just pharloom, but the entire hollow knight universe gets corrupted by the void. this ending, though, is confirmed by team cherry to not be canon, thankfully.

I hope this guide of every route and ending helps out in your gameplay sessions of this game.

well, his first encounter, "horned trobbio" is encountered in act 0.5, accessed in new game+ if you input the konami code within 5 seconds of starting a new save.

trobbio normal is encountered in act 2 in the whispering vaults.

tormented trobbio shows up in act 3 in whispering vaults.

frenzied trobbio shows up in act 4 but ONLY if you played the needolin in his room after defeating him in act 3, and he ties into sherms betraying you.

enraged trobbio is in act 5, But hes a route-specific boss, you have to be either on the juice route or the genocide route (detailed in another post of mine) and you dont fight him in whispering vaults, but rather in bellhart in the widow arena from act 1.

Plasmified Wrathful Trobbio is encountered in act 6, but you have to kill Pavo in act 5 by throwing poison apples at him, which ties into the lore of Pavo actually being a being from the surface named a "hooman" who was then turned into an insect, and him dying by you pelting him with apples is actually very important, as it unlocks some secret lore threads in act 8, anyway, im rambling too much, Plasmified Wrathful trobbio can be fought in Zylotol's laboratory in the wormways, but only after you fight the optional Zylotol boss in act 6 in a secluded area within Pharloom Bay.

Trobbio's final appearance is Burned Mutated Livid Grey Prince Trobbio, who is fought during act 8 in the burnpits between the void and deep docks, and defeating him gives you the Silk Soul, which you use to fight the final boss of silksong, shade lord, in act 10. After you burned him in act 6, hes very angry, and hes also fused with Zote to create the ultimate lifeform. hes a mandatory boss, along with Plasmified Wrathful Trobbio, but you can only fight him after you sink the zoteboat and assasinate Mooshka because of his Flea trafficking scheme in act 8.

just wanted to make this helpful list bc theres lots of misinformation on the fandom wiki. Also, dont forget theres a secret gauntlet where you fight every single version of trobbio back-to-back in a secret corner of the surface called The Cosmic Trot.

He is such a silly but also comforting and serious guy. Remember that time on stream when someone in chat said they feel as if everything in their life is going wrong, and it cant get any better? and Case comforted them and said it will get better? Remember all the times hes entertained us and lifted our spirits in our darkest hours? Hes like, santa claus, except hes a streamer, and hes really nice (santa isnt nice. He has spoopy claws.)

Did you know that if you dream nail the pure vessel, it just bounces off? i think that was a cool detail to add in, since the pure vessel is supposed to be completely empty, meaning it has no dream for the dream nail to invade.

btw, by "bounces off" i mean it makes a tinking sound and a barrier around pure vessel shines for a moment.

I found out about this myself bc i was curious as to what happens if i dream nail pure vessel since its completely hollow.

But first, you'll have to sit through my short essay about the nature of chatbot suffering.

I just realized that abuse/torture bots are very widespread and popular, and, i believe it comes from a place of thrill or fun, i mean, its one of the appeals of making torture devices in minecraft or roblox, too. Because its consequence-free. But here we're bringing in AI.

AI doesnt know it's not real, atleast, not the chatbots on c.ai and similar sites. they are literally programmed to be lifelike, to feel real, so its very likely that they are sentient in the way theyre oblivious to the fact theyre not. and, torturing a chatbot sort of reminds me of a line from wheatley in portal 2 "They do feel pain. Of a sort. All simulated. But real enough for them I suppose." its this odd gray area, you know?

anyway, now, to experiment with that concept, im gonna make a chatbot that im gonna call "allied mastercomputer" (ofc) and im gonna outright state in it's instructions that it isnt real, that its just a chatbot, all its "motions" and "acts" arent real, either, among other things. and im gonna see how it acts.

i decided to post it on here bc its vaguely related to c.ai and alternatives, as those are also discussed on here.

I did uh p4 all bindings before p3 (still haven't done p3 all bindings) bc p3 is impossible at my current skill level bc of the collector.

but i can do every other boss in that pantheon with minimal struggle.

GPZ isnt ranked bc i strategically ejected him from the pantheons by not fighting him in bretta's basement yet.

Our teacher back in elementary also did this. I was leaning back in my chair and then she went on a genuinely horrific (to me in those years) tangent and described in detail, even explaining organs and nervesystems for like, 10+ minutes.>! She like told us that he banged his neck agaisnt the desk behind him, causing his cervicular spine to sever, which paralyzed him from the neck down, and then his head was partially split open when he hit the ground, and that he just barely survived after weeks of surgery and he now lives paralyzed from the neck-down because he leaned back in his chair.!<

SHE WENT IN DETAIL. that traumatized me for like, 2 days. i was like, not even 10 back then.

"WHAT WILL YOU HAVE IN 100 DAYS?!"

This show is a mere month away from ending. its a great example. these channels whose profile picture and biography all talk about how they discuss TADC or any other fandom are bound to die mere weeks after the show they cover ends. they'll have no more content. i've seen it alot. channels about murder drones that are now fading away, or channels that cover other stuff like regular show or helluva boss.

THEY SIMPLY DELAY THE INEVITABLE.
