  • There is no greater disappointment for me than biting into something without suspecting a thing, and my taste buds then suddenly being assaulted by the vileness dubbed “coconut flavor”.

    In case my remains are consumed by animals or plants, I can’t put them through something I hate so much. I mean, do we even know how long this will make you taste like coconut?!







  • Great point with the Snail Shamans, the “pale kin” certainly supports the “Pale family” theory!

    On a side note, before your comment, I always thought the thing that is ‘forever linked’ is the Everbloom. That’s what happened when you’re not good at English haha.

    Very understandable, it’s not the type of speech you encounter every day. Prior experience with Souls games certainly helps with that!

    Though it would still make sense either way. I’m convinced that the “first light” and the “Paleness” are directly linked, and the Void is probably more or less directly related too.

    My current head canon is that someone, probably the Steel Masters, attempted some kind of “ascension ritual” that’s similar to what the Soul Master attempted, only much larger in scale. Something prompted them to try and create their own light - and it worked, it created beings that shine bright enough to bask whole kingdoms in their pale light. But the mass sacrifice transformed the victims into a thoughtless mass that only wishes to extinguish any light it can find…




  • Thanks for the response!

    Team Cherry is also very considerate with their choice of word. It would make more sense for White Lady to say ‘my kind’ instead if that were the case.

    That’s actually what gave me the idea - Hornet and the White Lady aren’t genetically related. Since there is nothing metaphysically linking Hornet to the Void besides her half siblings, maybe “our family” being “forever linked” with it could relate to Paleness.

    The Snail Shamans also specifically wanted to see GMS be destroyed by the Void, which strengthens this idea.

    But either way. It’s impossible to tell until we see another pale being that has no connection to the pale being we already know.

    We do in Silksong! Hornet explicitly calls GMS a Pale being, e.g. in the dialogue with the Green Prince.



  • “But we had already seen the future. I have seen it. You always told me that you can’t change a future that we’re already part of. That it’s fixed.”

    “Well, mostly. But if the fate of the universe is at stake… there are ways.”

    “I get that. But come on. How could renaming that thing to Massive Mohammed cause the destruction of everything?”



  • You just gave me a fascinating idea with your last point! What if the City of Steel can somehow harness Void as energy, almost like burning oil?

    We know that either Pale or higher beings are generally under the influence of the Masters of the Steel NPCs, and we know that Pale beings have a natural inclination towards ruling over bugs by taking over whole kingdoms. We also know that Steel NPCs have some limited control over the Void through magic, e.g. being able to summon it.

    What if the whole cycle (Pale being arrives in kingdom, takes over, eventually causes ruin & regret) is wanted, or even caused, by the City of Steel?
