Hey, since you made this, why not make one using Cradles by Sub Urban? It's almost like it was _made_ HK, you know?
I love this portrayal of Pale King as desperate and fearful, losing his mind as he tries everything he can to contain the Infection. It's much more emotionally impactful than "He was a jerk to his kids and he loved buzzsaws," although I like that version too.
I'm glad you like it!! 💗💗💗
Me: the pale king was a complex and tragic character who was forced into a horrible decision and failed ultimately by caring too much.
Also me: he also had a buzz saw and dominatrix fetish hee hee hoo
@@philipgood5041Theirs nothing contracting he wasn't both
@@philipgood5041 where’s the lie?
@@philipgood5041 He was a complex man
I loved it when The Pale King flinched after the "Promise me a kiss" line. You've just gotta love small details like that since they really bring an animation to life!
Aaa I'm glad you enjoyed it!! 💕💕💕
I mean he didn't want that to happen, but for the radiance to be contained he had to
Yea people are too hard on the Pale King... 0:53 is a perfect representation on how the poor guy must have been feeling watching his kingdom torn down and his family ripped apart, the hollow knight was trying to do his duty by keeping the i infection locked away, but he wasn’t pure which I think is because he was raised with the PK, who seemed from the few moments we saw him to care about the HK especially early on in his life. Hence the no cost too great.
Like the guy was having to split up all of his council to fight a god, and he even was made to “cheat” on his wife, whichever thoiugh we wouldn’t classify that as cheating, I bet he did.
And after all of these sacrifices he still failed and was forced to sit essentially alone knowing his failures in the white palace knowing his efforts were failures and he might as well have almost not even tried and just enjoyed the time he had left, especially since time apparantly works differently in the white palaces world area.
IMO that’s probably the reason for “the path of pain” and all the buzz saws, working so hard to reach your goal yet at the end, it’s already too late and the PK has been killed by either void, himself, or time. (The void particles in there indicate the former.) Plus, he probably just was ashamed and at the same time wanted to give a future potential hero SOME hope and to just keep trying instead of seeking him out, he probably thought that the moment that this hero’s hopes were crushed, they too would give up out of shame.
Idk that’s my take on the pale king. What you guys think ?
Like especially imagine this having to (by his perspective) not only cheat on your wife but also have a child with her JUST to TRY to keep the infection at bay yet he fully expected it to work. As I said Even though we wouldn’t see that as cheating, and neither did the white lady (she even has affection for Hornet! She knows he did what he thought was right: he tried his best, but really there was nothing he could do. At the end of the day he was fighting a god,-:and unfortunately he wasn’t exactly a god himself anymore, along with the fact that I’d put pale beings as neutral beings somewhat when compared to void and the radiance. At the end the only thing that could truly destroy the radiance a true god, was another true god, the shade lord, which void was seemingly the ultimate counter for the radiance. (It’s almost as if there was a triangle. Pale is strong against void as they could control it ans form beings of void, the radiance was strong against pale as it easily got through every defense put up. And voidvis strong against the radiance because it was the darkness, so dark in fact in could put out the brightest of lights.. (AND RIP THEN TO FUCKIN SHREDS, GOD THAT WAS SATISFYING!)
I almost wonder if the GodSeekers are the reason that the HK was no longer pure, as they could have gotten into his mind and tried to communicate with the radiance, awakening him from his slumber... his first thoughts being then it dialogue “...Father?...”
(Sorry I love making actually PLAUSIBLE theories xD., (looking at you matpat, I will never get over that AHAHAHA))
Pk be like : You Probably Wondering How I Found Myself In This Situation
The Situation : Strange Orange Jelly Plague Controlled By Angry Moth Goddesses
Just use a lamp. Easy
@@beansnsteakmakepeoplequake8821 but... the moth *IS* the lamp!!
@@nuggetangel103 Just use the sun...wait the moth is the sun?
@@Comet675 The infection apparently tastes and smells sweet so It might be orange juice
Kel: oh sweet, Orange Joe!
Hero: KEL NO
"No cost too great"
man seeing everyone he basically sacrifice to attempt and stop the radiance disappear behind him is quite a sight especially since everything failed
Unless you count the gameplay as part of the plot in which case his goal would eventually be reached through the true ending
I wrote this in another comment but this is my take on the pale king (to preface it, people are way too fuckin hard on him and he’s a great king IMO)

You know I feel like the pale king was a jack of all trades but couldnt beat the raidience at the thing she was best at
@@limitbreak2966 i mean he didn't enjoy it if he didn't deepnest would have been at war with hollownest it was only hims iring a child that ended hte civil war so i think with hornets mother putting the deal on the table i think the pale king was kinda forced into having hornet.
1:04 is a m a z i n g. I can feel the waves of regret pouring off of him from the screen. He's literally just looking out on a sea of *his own dead children.* Its all just incredible!
Wehehe I'm glad you liked it!! 🤭💕💕💕
I completely agree. This scene in particular is insanely impactful. I also really love the ending. Where you see all of the people closest to him fall away and even after all of the torture brought on by himself and by the Radiance, it is a harsh cut to him dead on the throne. That even after everything that he went through, it was all for nothing.
I know the effect is (probably) supposed to be akin to a camera circulating around Pale King but it kinda looks like the Shade children are dancing around him all ritual-esque thanks to the music and I can't decide if that's hilarious or terrifying.
@@thewannabegamer9 yea he’s just crying after a moment instead of being in fear, just regret
@@thewannabegamer9sadly he will never know that the precious time he bought little ghost saved his daughter and the remainder of the kingdom too :/
As he said, no cost too great
“Worse than being remembered as a villain, is to be forgotten.”
That’s basically the vibes that hollow knight gives me. And so does this splendid animation.
Thank you!!
Honey I'm Home is almost frighteningly spot on
I love the depiction of pk here, most of the time he ends up being demonized but he was just a broken desperate man. He lost his mind as he saw all that he worked for all who he cared for crumble around him. So lost that he would even sacrifice his own children to try to stop the infection.
It's a sad story and I love that for once hes not just a monster
I'm glad you like my interpretation!! 💗💗
@@icelandan im suprised u saw this in all honesty, I hope you are having a good day! Ive rewatched this so many times already its so good
I've watched this like 5 or more times now and there's still so many little details I'm noticing, not just in the story telling but also in the way the transitions are shown. My favorite is the one with the thread snapping at three voices all alone. Ended up looking up the song and listening to it on its own and whenever I do I think of this animation.
In a weirdly messed up way this was how radiance got to PK was by driving him to madness through the losses he suffered because she could not get into his mind on her own.
It could also be that he was mildly under her influence (not control tho) and the madness was a cause of that, which drove him to sacrifice his own children and many more.
whis is awsome, finnaly a depiction of what happened to the pale king during the infection in animated form!
Thank you!! 💕💕💕
There’s one by fruit marm from a month earlier, but they’re both good.
@@andie3799 they’re friends - they both decided to make them together - read the description.
not like yu needed to learn about it, you were pretty mutch the cause for this
or like you cousine
If I'm interpreting this all right, then this interpretation implies the Radiance lowered the Pale King's defenses mentally and those of the White Palace, and then let the void in. After the void got in, the millions of vessels then killed their father.
This video alone was enough to get me back into Hollow Knight, good job.
I just love the attention to detail. If I may, I will attempt to break it down in terms of events.
Just a little warning, this comment is LONG, like stupid long. I also have a little tendency for drama so expect some vocabulary of that kind.
0:00-0:30 Radiance : The King stumbles upon a guard fallen to the infection, the Radiance manifesting through it in either a physical or symbolical manner. "The moth tied to his [God's] hand," being the infected guard laying as a trap for PK, tied to the Radiance via her hivemind. If I had to situate this in the canon lore I'd say this event would fit somewhere between her first return as the infection and a little before PK devised his plan to permanently seal her away.
He is wary, not knowing what has happened to the guard, and he nearly falls to the trap. However, something must have happened, since he managed to break out of Radiance's grasp.
0:30-0:46 Bargain : I bet using Hera was just for the convenience of it, wasn't it? Anyways, Hera pops up, the hard to please of the Dreamers. She offers the final piece to sealing the Radiance, but bargains for something.
If you're even somewhat familiar with the story, then you know what it was : a child. A successor.
Hornet.
PK reluctantly agrees, you can see him flinch as she circles him, only to flinch even harder at the word "kiss". Clearly he isn't a fan of the idea, but he must protect the kingdom no matter the cost.
Their relation is an uneasy one, as they both look away at the "Don't return to it," line, preceded immediately by an image of Hornet when she was young. Even if the Pale Lady understood why this was done and held no grudge, PK himself didn't feel this way, he felt shame, and Hornet must've been a constant reminder of that shame for him. He sired a child only so her mother would act as a seal to protect Hallownest, how do you want him not to feel guilty for that?
0:46-0:52 Illusion : This part looks to me as him reassuring his people, making to look as a wise and good leader. The lyrics "so with advice of the dead," might as well be him confessing but twisting the truth to the populace. He never took advice of the Dreamers, he only requested of them to play this role to help in the kingdom's perpetuation. In this place, he made them heroes, figures to be celebrated for their "selfless" deed.
Also, the light he shines over the image of Hera, him and Hornet could be representative of hiding the truth, for it may have been unbearable to him.
0:46-1:02 Guilt 1/2 : PK snaps, literally, he has a breakdown. His shame and guilt are too much, and all he has done for the sake of Hallownest comes back to haunt him as everything falls apart around him. The Dreamers and the line "three voices return I'm all alone," could be him hallucinating or being visited by their spirits when they were still strong enough to do so at will.
Spoiler : It is said and/or heavily implied in game that the Dreamers have weakened over their long period of slumber, barely able to intervene in the real world anymore.
PK turns to a black egg, alike the one found in the birthplace, connecting to the Void being used as a defense against the infection. However, he sees the Radiance in the reflection, implying even he can't keep her out of his mind, either he his starting to succumb, or he is worried of the havoc she may unleash upon the world if unproperly sealed and getting free. If she is the one to say "Say hello, honey I'm home," and not the one this is directed to, so saying this to PK, she may even be taunting him, trying to find a weakness to exploit.
1:02-1:12 Guilt 2/2 : Here the focus shifts to his own offspring, who he sacrificed hundreds, thousands of in the hope of creating something powerful enough to contain the Radiance.
Something too empty, in any manner possible, to be manipulated by her.
His sanity is clearly going down, reminded of the children he lost in this quest to stop the kingdom's fall, his feelings gets the best of him, and he falls as Void surrounds him, presumably consuming him as a shadow looms over him, maybe a mass of Void about to fall upon PK? This could be a way to signify his death in the Dream world.
1:12-1:35 Memories : PK recalls upon important moments and persons he shared his life with, his wife and son, who he eventually was separated from. A small interlude happens from 1:16 to 1:19 where the Void is slowly killing him, his tears mixing with the shadowy liquid responsible for his death. Right after he recalls how everyone who has been important to him, be it for their use or his attachment to them, slowly vanished from his life, leaving him alone. One by one they go, in a surprisingly chronological order.
1:35-1:57 Lost ruler : This section is bland, we only see him after his death, sat on his throne in the White Palace, now forever stuck in the Dream World, with his guards and his retainers oblivious to their surroundings, forever on duty, awaiting orders that will never come. At the end, the Knight comes, and although PK's life had ended on a sour note, away from all and on his own, this one surviving child of his will carry on his legacy.
They will reignite the kingdom's hope.
The time has come for the light to be extinguished.
Sir.. I am at a loss
Your ass is getting PINNED, MY GOODNESS!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this and paying such close attention!! It's extremely flattering, comments like this one make me want to continue creating :)
( To answer your question about Herrah's part though, it was really that the lyrics fit perfectly with their predicament
@@icelandan I. Am. Blushing. I am legit blushing tomato red.
I don't know what to say, I've never been pinned before so my brain kinda court-circuited ah ah.
Thank you for having made this video, and I hope you have fun with future projects!
Hehe welcome to the pin life bro
Thank you sm though!!
as a fellow critic i might say im impressed but i got a interpretation a little diferent for some parts,to me is more like a pround king,sacrificing everithing for not being alone again
the iconic "no cost to great" i think is something he would say to him himself to compensate for all the pain he caused(not something he believe just something he want to believe)
is not like he is being crushed in guilty to me,is more like he desapointed with himself,he promisssed everyone a happy ending and put everything in cost to keep this promise,but..
nothing worked,he killed thousands,make his realm fall completly just because he loved his son ONCE,gived birth to a child( hornet )just to steal her mother forever,and left her with a destroyed,alone realm
then the pale king dies,he have seen his people die,his wife left him,and his child to suffer for the same reason he suferred
tryng to much....
but hey he was not alone anymore...he died with the thousands childrens he needed to kill and trap against theyr home
I was always wondering about pk lore and U helped alot, his lore is really interesting to me
0:52 the string breaking was insanely cool
Thank you!! 💕💕💕
ive rewatched it so many times its so cool
Glad you like it!! 💗💗💗
What was it meant to represent? @@icelandan
At 1:20 can we appreciate two things. Number one: baby Hornet. Number two: Quirrel has a bow tie.
AWWWW MY GAD ITS SOOO CUTE I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE
BOW TIE QUIRREL BOW TIE QUIRREL 💙
@@BlueSkyBirdies SO TRUE
OH MY GOD,THE BOW TIE OH MY OH MY JESUS OKOOOOOOOEHDKDHSIS
AND BABY HORNET🥰
This is great I can see your own unique take on this song it's really cool. I love the scene where the pale king is standing in the middle and everyone around him is disappearing it makes you realize just how alone he is when pale king dies.
Thank you so much!! I'm glad I was able to portray some things effectively ;)c
You do know the pale king is a wyrm right? He probably just reincarnated or changed bodies or something
Respect other people's headcanons, thank you 💕
@@arishkhan5918 he could reincarnate but he didn't put a egg, he was probabilly the last wyrm, so wyrms can die
@@girosvaldodeskate2214 But isn't he a god/higher being? Maybe he placed an egg somewhere else, somewhere we can't see...
i *cannot* stop watching this!! there's so many little details, from the pale king's expressions, to the flinch, the wonderful sketchy drawings... this is one of my favorite hollow knight animations/animatics now!! i also love the perspective we're given: we never get to see the pale king's side of the story- only the end result of his decisions. a lot of people in the fandom like to joke about him or even paint him as a villain, but personally, i think he's such a more interesting and deep character. in a way, he was a victim just as much as his citizens were, and this showcases that perfectly! thank you so much for making this :)
My goodness I have no proper words to reply to this. I'm extremely flattered and humbled, thank you for enjoying my dumb little animatic and thank you for being so kind!! 😭💕💕💕
@@icelandan of course!! you deserve every word of praise you've received in this comment section. such a wonderful amv!
Yea he was no villain, he was both a hero and a victim. He tried his hardest. They act like he suddenly forced the HK to lock the infection inside him, when it’s known the HK was his most loyal knight, as he loved his father: the HK knew what he was getting into
@@limitbreak2966 and thats one of the saddest parts of the HK, it knew it shouldnt have thoughts, the unused dream nail dialogue for the pure vessel implies its trying to stop thinking, stop feeling, just to be perfect, but thats the reason it wasnt perfect
As funny as 'haha yeet the children into the pit for feeling' dad interpretation is, this interpretation feels way more satisfying and realistic.
A guy who is cracking under desperation, a king who cared too much that it destroys him...
When I played HK and came accross the Pale King's corpse on the throne I thought of it as a pretty anticlimatic event. God this video really honors that broken bug's slow descend into decadence. That last shot of the king on his throne is such a ridiculously haunting moment omg. I'm so glad you made this video, it really makes a kinda dull moment into a fucking haunting reveal. I'm honestly so inspired.
I can't believe I didn't get to respond to this!! I'm really glad you enjoyed my silly little animatic!! Thank you for the kind words
To be honest, after watcher knights and path of pain, I saw his corpse, went back to a bench, put on my battle charms, and got ready for a boss fight.
0:48 okay just wanna say I just love the part where the string breaks do almost demonstrate pale kind just losing it in the next few scenes, this animation also just, *mwah* chefs kiss, amazing. I liked how he flinched and he really seemed alive in the animation!
CriES thank you so much!!!! 💕💕💕
well until he died he did
this is one of my favorite hollow knight animatics and i just saw this today. the emotions, expressions, the part where the siblings are circling around pk while he looks like he's going bonkers is,,, astonishing. this is impressive, i love everything in this animatic
Aaaa I'm very flattered thank you so much!
i love how the entire fandom agreed that this is the pale king's theme song
yeah, because industrial religious bugcore
there's SO many great moments in this and i love how it makes the lyrics fit the lore!
"A spider preaching with poison on it's lips, 'to get out of here is to promise me a kiss'" DAMN that fits well with Herrah because she IS a spider and the Pale King promised her a kid.
The Infection showing up with "God returned with a moth chained to his hand" is GREAT, god is the moth!
"Three voices ring out all alone" with the dreamers appearing is just poetic cinema honestly.
There's more but those stuck with me the most this animatic is great honestly, and does catholic bugcore great justice
I'm so glad you liked it!!! Thank you for this comment ppl like you give me life hehe 💕💕💕
*Industrial Catholic bugcore
it is funny that the Pale King is powerful yet so short.
heh... short king
I only just realised that HIS WIFE IS LIKE 5 TIMES THE SIZE OF HIM!
Smol
Hehe, his Shortness xD
How is he not a Pale Pancake yet after both Herrah and his wife 😂
@@Probablyademon and they say short guys can’t get tall girls
I like this a lot... especially the Radiance as an infected sentry rather than Herself. Super cool, the facial expressions are just 👌- Idk if I love this one or the other one (in the description) more
Also THAT TEARING STRING IN THE BACKGROUND OF 0:52 IS INCREDIBLE AND FITS THE VID SO WELL OH MY GOD
wAAAH I'M GLAD YOU LIKED IT THANK YOU!!
Correct
Hello from Russia, a translator translated for me.
After this animation, I was struck by the understanding of the Pale King. So sad that I even allowed myself to cry. The story is as deep as it gets.
We, playing as an empty knight, could not even imagine what a long path of pain the King of Hallownest went. ... I could not imagine and regretted it. And although more and more people in the fandom are watching memes without delving into the story or even suspecting, there are attentive and talented cool people.
Oh, I cannot express my immense gratitude for such a wonderful interpretation. As long as there are people like you Icelandan, the fandom continues to grow, new people learn about the game, some come to understand, others love with a flurry of emotion. You've done such a good job: designing, drawing, animating, editing - it's a huge job. Thank you so much for this and a hundred more times.
- - - - - - - - - -
I hope I didn't have many mistakes in the text, but I have to express my thoughts, and this happens very rarely, even on Russian UA-cam.
Я очень ценю этот комментарий. спасибо за понимание Бледного Короля! редко можно найти к нему признательность. 💕💕
(используется русский переводчик)
I really appreciate this comment. thanks for understanding the Pale King! it is rare to find appreciation for him.💕💕
(used Russian translater)
I genuinely have no words to respond to this- I'm extremely flattered and humbled and appreciative!! As Fruit Marm said there's not a lot of Pale King appreciation, so this is refreshing to see! He is pretty stinky but he's definitely an interesting character :]
All in all your comment made me cry with joy and I love you so much thank you, you made my day 💕💕💕
Russian Google Translation:
У меня действительно нет слов, чтобы ответить на это - я очень польщен, смирен и признателен !! Как сказал Fruit Marm, Pale King не так много оценят, так что это приятно видеть! Он довольно вонючий, но определенно интересный персонаж :]
В целом ваш комментарий заставил меня плакать от радости, и я так вас люблю, спасибо, вы сделали мой день 💕💕💕
Приносим извинения за ошибки!
@@fruitmarm Thank you very much for your response. As soon as I saw him, I was very surprised. You made me squeal with happiness and blush, and it surprised my sister and mom :) I didn't even imagine that my comment would be answered so quickly.
The pale king really rarely gets recognition, because not all players are multifaceted in understanding, and also because in the game, the story of the king in the background is described in complex words that not everyone reads, and also visually this scene, indicating King, lasts a small amount time ... The game is huge, as well as a huge number of theories and meanings in it, and behind the scenes fighting with bosses, passing the pantheon, obtaining achievements, traveling through beautiful locations, our mini-scene with the king fades out.
I'm very glad. Such a big game unites us: views on things, interests, ideas, variations; unites us in all countries - it makes me immensely happy. You are a wonderful person, thank you for the answer and for writing the Russian translation, I appreciate this concern! ❤❤❤
@@icelandan Aaaaaah, very cute! My smile sparkles, and it's all thanks to you! See my extended answer on the Pale King in my other answer for Fruit Marm.
Oh, by the way, your Russian translator translated the word "stinky" as smelly, foul smelling. It's funny! You made me laugh a little. I understood that you meant the wrong thing. We in Russia do not have any strictness in relation to our language on the part of a foreigner, but it depends on the person himself. I love foreigners, so writing for you, and even more so reading, is a pleasure.
Thank you so much, especially for you, you made my day too! I love the game Hollow knight, I cry from the wonderful soundtracks, from the animation, and for the first time I write to foreigners about this game - it's a great happiness.
Keep creating and don't be afraid to flaunt your hard work, there will always be someone who will love it. I also want to say thank you for the reply with Russian translation, I'm flattered! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your pale king is great, the more angular face perfectly fits the serious tone. With all the light hearted HK animatics, this is a welcome change of pace
"We can change night into day"
Embrace the void ending:
How about no
I saw your animatic on Tumblr and I was so excited to see this in my recommended! The lyrics fit so well with how you changed the context into the game’s lore. I love how well you portray all the dread the Pale King must’ve gone through and how much he lost. With a bleak ending.
It’s ominous to see him just sitting there, knowing it’s a corpse, and only confirmed when Ghost finds him.
Tidbits I love - Herrah blinking, Pale King terrified of his reflection showing infected eyes, and the failed vessels surrounding him and the *realization* of what he did.
GOD I love this comment thank you so much!! I'm really flattered and glad you liked it thank you for paying so much attention to it you squeeze my leetle heart 😭💕💕💕
Average low tier HK fan:fork man bad
Casual high tier HK enjoyer:the pale king's poor choices could be explained by his constant fear of the radiance,ptsd from breeding with a worm spider thing,cheating on his wife WHILE mass producing and killing his children,helplessly realizing the people around him are either dying/going to die (isma/dryya), disappearing completey (hegemol/ze'mer/white lady) or just have a blinding faith on him (ogrim,pure vessel). i also like to think that the pale king knew about the grimm troupe (considering the white lady does) and that just adds more pressure ontop of all said beforehand because if the kingdom falls, the troupe will just clean up whats left and mind their own ritual business
In love with this take
honestly, i feel sorry for the pale king. i mean yeah he killed thousands of his children and done terrible things but, he didnt want, he had to. the radiance is making him do this stuff to stop an plauge and even then, he fails.
I AM L O O K I N G
THIS SO GOOD,,,GOALS
WAHH THANK U SO MUCH FRIEND
The animation is really good. I think that Pale King is an interesting character and I don't really understand why he is called the bad one. Fact, he did bad things, but he did it for his subjects. He did not want Radiance to convict others. In my opinion he could be compared with Asgore from Undertale. They are similar in some ways. Pale king simply chose a way that had this and no other consequences. This makes him an interesting character and you can analyze his actions for a long time. In RPG such a character is called Chaotically Good.
Thank you for the kind words and the extremely valid take! 💕
what's cool is that when he say's "halo over my head' not only is he proving to his kingdom that he can stop the plauge but he tries to prove it to himself and everything that happens just makes him *SNAP*
Everyone hates on The Pale King for what he did, but he was panicked. He didn't know what to do. He was lost, and in the end, alone. He did what he thought was right. His kingdom was at risk, and he knew that, he did what he could.
TPK brings the phrase “short king” a whole new meaning XD
Poor PK. Regardless of if you love him or hate him and of his sometimes bad decisions, PK is one of the saddest and most tragic characters in this game. Yeah sure, he took over parts of other people's territories, but he made pacts with the Mantises, Mosskin, Deepnesters,Bees, and Moths. On the other hand, the Radiance just destroyed the man. She took everything he had and cared for and made it fall to ruin. Pale King isn't the best person, but Radiance went overboard with her revenge. She could've demanded to stay separate from Hallownest like the Bees or Mantises and have her worshippers remain with her, but she went out of her way to make this man(and everyone else) suffer instead.
Aaa yet again a wonderful animatic. Glad to see you posting again!!
Thank you!! You're so sweet cries softly,,,
@@icelandan aaaa no problem!! I use to be a big fan back a while ago
It's sad that everything was against the pale king, the guy just wanted to rule a kingdom. It's even more sad that everyone left him or died. He literally got swallowed by the void while trying to protect his kingdom and yet nobody knows,not even his wife.. christ, imagine if everyone didn't know you died. Terrible.
I love your interpretation of the pale king,simply perfect .
Glad you like it friend
I love the fact that instead of bringing back a light in this game, you literally smother it, and erase all trace of it. It’s *so* cool, and in my opinion makes the game even more satisfying to complete.
when i first heard the song it felt like it was MADE for HK, especially with the moth that knows a different way, "don't remember it, don't return to it" being similar to the lore tablet before the abyss, the spider mother basically describing the relationship between the pale king and Herrah, i didn't even realise that the 3 voices from the gramophone could be interpreted as the 3 dreamers, great job!
Thank you!!! 💗💗
Asdfh i was just listening to Honey I'm Home yesterday and thinking "dAmN, ThiS WoULd MakE A GOOd HoLLow kNiGHT pmv/animaTiC :))))) (also Entomologist from Ghost and pals as well, but I digress)"
And then I discovered this today and hnnnnnghhh I feel blesssed, thank you so much, this is beautiful :"")
HAHAHAH ONE BRAINCELL BETWEEN ALL HK FANS MY DUDE
You should check out Fruit Marm's animatic too if you haven't it's amazing!!
But also thank you I'm really glad you liked it!! 💕💕💕
I like how when every one leaves he's just annoyed
Have you ever considered how weird the radiance’s character design is, her puffy chest is three time the size of her head with three head-sized coronal spikes and hips twice the size of her abdomen and legs the length of the radiance’s entire body. Her wings are bird-like not chitin, but the spikes are the shape of her crown despite it looking bone like? The symbol surrounding the radiance is a compass rose that has inward protrusions yet rotates
Daaaang son this is epic! Love that detail with the pale king going to defend himself summoning spears (?) in the beginning. All the expression are really good as well, you can discern the story clearly which isnt always an easy thing to do. Very awesome!
Edit: woah 22 likes, the most i’ve ever gotten 😂😂 thanks guys
Thank you so so much aAAA 💕💕💕
Very reminiscent of some undertale animations I’ve seen and I’m here for it
The spiciest Meme lord sort of, yeah. What you mean with summoning weapons?
I have seen two honey I'm home animatics for hallow Knight and they both are amazing
GOD THIS IS SO COOL LOOKING AND I REALLY LIKE THE WAY YOU DREW THE PALE KING IT'S SO UNIQUE
Thank you so much!!! 💕💕💕
I really like PK's design in this
Thank you!
Tbh I will not believe that this song *wasnt* for hollow knight
This is a fantastic video and makes the Pale King look like the amazing, tragic hero he is. In Hollow Knight, it's strongly implied that at the time of the Pale King's arrival the majority of the world was bereft of meaningful life, that the overwhelming number of bugs having nothing beyond base instinct and that the Pale King tried his best to grant free will to the bugs and let them carve their own path. The Radiance despised this, wanting everything to exist as part of itself. From how the remaining moth functions, it seems that they alone could exist inside the dreams offered by the Radiance, her chosen people or anointed lieutenants.
No cost was too great because, for the King, he was quite literally fighting to grant all bugs the ability to self-determine. He was willing to sacrifice countless children and even offer himself on the sacrificial altar if he could guarantee a future for the mortal bugs. And, from the indication that there are now scattered settlements that can travel and interact, it seems that even in his defeat the Pale King still won. Hallownest could fall and never be saved by Ghost, and the Pale King's goal of granting the bugs self-awareness and control over their own fate would still have come to fruition.
Suck it, Tang Moth. Even if your plan hadn't been stopped, your ambitions could never match that of the Pale King.
OUGH COMMENTS LIKE THIS!! I'm really humbled every time someone takes time off their day to write such a long and thoughtful comment thank you 💗💗
I love how the Hollow Knight fandom just latched onto this song
I love the very end! At first I thought he was just sitting there, contemplating everything he's done, but really, it's how the Knight finds him in game
I'm glad you enjoy it!! 💗💗💗
It hurts my soul seeing Orgrim being the first one to disappear from the pale kings life
Shaking crying sobbing on my knees about Ogrim every day of my life honestly
@@icelandan same 😔
CRIES I LOVE YOU AND I LOVE THIS AND IM SO HAPPY YOU DID YOUR VERSION OF THIS AND AA 😭😭💕💕💕 BLESS BLESS BLESS!! LOVED SEEING THE PROGRESS OF THIS ON DISCORD SO MUCH!!!
FUCK U FUCK U FUCK U I LUH U MORE 😢😢😢 BLESS U I'M IN TEARS ON THE FLOOR, DEAD
Icelandan CRIES 😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕
I love how this fandom basically claimed this song😁
So well. I have a question to god. Or two. ONE - why is it so well made, the details, the hidden narration (i mean that in this video there is actualy whole history of pale king).
And TWO - WHY why all games or books im inyerested have that depressing and dark story ?! Even if that is hidden somwhow. Anyway that thing is going ro my "favorite" folder !
This is one of the few things that can convince me the Pale King isn’t heartless. You can actually see the pain he feels in this.
I love how an entire empire couldnt at least defeat Radiance, but a smol boi killed it easily lol
I wouldnt say easily...
Oh my god. I found this a year late because I’m always late to the party but GOD!! I can’t stop rewatching this!! This is the best thing I’ve seen all month!! This made me go from a PK hater to making him my favourite character, oh my god, the poor dude. All the sacrifices he made, all for nothing. The part after the string snaps and everything just unravels just- AGHHH it’s so good I could watch this for hours
I'm so happy you like it!! Thank you so much for the kind words 💗💗
oh i LOVE the expressiveness through eyes and body language!!!! this is so visually pleasing aaahhhh
WAH you flatter me thank you!!!!
This man gave up everything he loved and everything he didn't in the faint hope he could save his kingdom. And it went nowhere.
This animatic made me think more about the living hell it must have been for the pale king to try and run a kingdom where an angry goddess is taking over the minds of you subjects and you have to cross lines you might never have if you hadn't been pushed.
He's still not my favorite character, but in a way. this made me pity him
10/10
Glad it made you think 💗💗💗
wow i didnt realise how much the lyrics actually kinda fit until i looked them up
The short little fella really forked up.
I'll see myself out.
Okay so I'm coming back to this animation cuz it's still epic and dang, the improvement since this animation is crazy! Comparing it to the king & lion heart animation, you can really see how ur style got better since this one ^^
i keep watching animatics as if i dont know how sad im gonna get about a silly little bug game :(
Man, this animatic utilizes so many of my favourite concepts... the greater threat first revealing itself in the form of a corrupted symbol of order (the infected sentry), painful memories and underlying grief shown in brief and symbolic flashes, the wide shot of what once was now slowly fading away bit by bit, the ending mirroring the beginning and bringing everything full circle through the tie-in with the game, overall using the lyrics and flow of the song to parallel some very clever visuals, and of course, the Pale Fork's gorgeous chad jawline. Not to even mention all the lovely little details everyone's been pointing out! I find myself rewatching this one a lot, it's just so good. Phenomenal job! So glad to discover little gems like this from the fandom, they really add a whole new layer to the game
This comment got me yELLING WHY ARE Y'ALL SO SWEET
I'm so glad you enjoyed it tHANK YOU SO MUCH AHH 😭😭😭💕💕💕
@@icelandan Yelling? That ain't very "no voice to cry suffering" of you
Honestly though, all the praise is more than well deserved, I really hope you continue to make stuff like this!
Can we all just take the time to appreciate quirrel in a bowtie?
:] 💗
I've just noticed that Ogrim is staring at Isma. AND *(I assume)* he's blushing.
*that's so frigging cute kill me*
This is certainly one of the most well-drawn animatics I have ever seen about hollow knight, and the small details just help bring the overall emotions and beauty of the antimatic along with the lore portrayed here from hollow knight together.
Thank you so much, this means a lot! 💗💗💗
I really like how we go from the radiance trying to possess PK (which is serious) to Herrah just pissing off PK.
I can't stop rewatching this its so good, all the expressions and details are amazing
Thank you so much!! 💗💗💗
damn, i really like the way the Pale King is drawn here! not that "young wyrm", but a full-fledged man, able to protect himself. yes, hes short, but here he really looks like a king. good job
Thank you! 💗💗
With how much Ghostie-P has been progressively associated with insects, this was bound to happen.
And I'm not complaining
Listening to the full song it feels like the first verse could be about hollow
This animatic made me realise how much of a strain was put on the pale king, he was trying to help his kingdom. But all his attempts failed and after he thought he had found the perfect vessel, it turned out, because of one moment he had with the hollow knight, his plan and his kingdom fell into ruin
GHOST? Vocaloid? Hollow Knight? All in one video?!
*My life is now complete.*
THE STRING SNAP TO SHOW HIS DESCENT INTO MADNESS...... *chef kiss* POETIC CINEMA
UWAH THANK YOU!! Glad you like it!! 💗
DUUUUDE I JUST FOUND THIS GEM ITS AMAZING!!! The expressions, characters, and that flinch AHHH the details dude- i love this! Congrats on the great video dude!
Thank you so much I'm humbled aHHHH 💕💕💕
Pale King: "You can't defeat me."
Radiance: "I know, but they can."
Vessel Shades:
Both of these versions are so well made?? What the heck?? You two are so good at this
Thank you so much!! God I know though!! I love Marm's content so much hghhhhg
Idk how but you somehow make the chorus like 10x more impactful than other versions of this
Hehe thank youuu 💗💗
I am academically qualified to say that this is some dope shit.
5⭐/2🌛
No u my son
I love political turmoil (in fiction), it's always so fascinating, especially when an empire falls
I always thought of TPK as a sort of villain, because of what he did to the vessels, but honestly it makes sense that he was just in distress and desperatly wanted to save his kingdom. I absolutely love this sm, you did an amazing job
Honey I'm home is probably my favourite Ghost song and Hollow Knight is one of my favourite games ever. Thank you for blessing me.
Thank you for watching my video!! 💗💗😌
Holy shit, came to this expecting a comedy bit, not to have a blast of feels... amazing work, btw
Hehehe thank you 💕💕💕
Ok i watched this on repeat way too many times, i saw no comments mentioning how well animated that husk on the beggining is
Now that i am thinking, is there any mention that the king wanted SPECIFICALLY the moth kin in his kingdom? If not, it just makes his story even more cruel, a enemy he didnt even want to make destroyed his life's work and a lot of other things, or he brought it upon himself wanting the moth bois, idk
Also this is awesome, i love every part of this
Ok while this is a freaking amazing animation depiction of hollow knight lore can I just say LOOK AT TINY QUIRRL WITH MONOMOM AT THE END EJSVSJEBDNDB
Glad you appreciate the little things 😌💗💗💗
@@icelandan freaking BOOTIFUL animation fr
Это просто прекрасно!!! Теперь это одна из моих любимейших анимаций по hollow knight. 💘
Thank you so much!!!

I was literally wondering why nobody ever tought to make a Hollow Knight animatic with this song, especially considering how well it fits with the whole story.
And the execution, my LORD, the execution! The art is astounding, full of surprising details (The string snapping, PK summoning spears, the infected sentry, PK flinching at herrah's request) is what sends me.
Many point the finger against the pale king, which is, in my opinion, highly undeserved. It was all out if desperation to save his kingdom, to save his wife, and his people, and i feel like nobody rarely gave credit to him for it.
The animation in itself is so smooth! It all seems fluid, with wonderful transitions which are in no way choppy or out of place.
Really, this is THE best hollow knight animation i have ever seen!
God I'm speechless thank you so much I'm glad you enjoy my silly little animatic!! 😭💗💗💗
I must admit this is my favourite version of this animatic! The details transitions are amazing! 💙
Thank you so much!! 💕💕💕
After years of scouring the Internet, I'm pretty sure this is the animatic I saw a few years ago that got me into Vocaloid. Thank you so much for making this, without it I wouldn't be the person I am today. Which is pretty weird but y'know, life is kinda crazy so thank you again for making this
If you stop to think, the Pale King is a guy that didn't had any moral option
tiny hornet i live for
Oh. My. God. /pos
Words cannot express how much I love this
I'm glad you like it! 💗💗
I never really liked most of any game animations, animatic, etc and it's really difficult to find a good one. But this...
It was evening, I felt bored and just clicked on this video. I liked it right from the first 10 seconds when the music started playing. This is the first time I found an animatic with song not related to the game lore and at the same time its lines fit lore the most perfect way.
I like this sketchy style. The video is short, but it contains such many details related to lyrics that I had to watch it twice to get all of them. This is the best assumption of Pale King's sad fate I've ever seen. Bravo!
The song is too good. I listen to it every day and I can't stop D:
This is so flattering, I'm glad you've enjoyed my work!! Thank you 💗
I'm happy UA-cam showed me this on a main page. It's not shocking tho, this is how to be a fan of Vocaloid and Hollow Knight at the same time.
I love the animation
GOD this is so fucking beautiful. EVERYTHING WORKS SO WELL IN THIS GOD THIS IS A GIFT
CRIES IN GA Y THAN K U B O O
This is fucking amazing!!!! I’ve been watching this nonstop since I found this, the last image of the Pale King on his throne is my favorite part by far!
Thank you so much!! I'm happy you enjoyed it 💗💗💗
@@icelandan, no no; thank you for creating such a god damn masterpiece!
I love how THK is so much taller that TPK
