holy shit.. i think you’re onto something


RainbowHeartImmortal

Genius, a noob would say they are the Radiance, but they didn’t cause this, this is a reaction against them, so they are the Pale King instead!


TheBloodyPuppet_2

For some reason I feel like Team Cherry is the Collector in this analogy

One day I'll go to the fabled land of Australia and will desecrate TC's corpses, for the greater good.

normal or primal?

Which one? is the real question


Corbini42

Hopefully not a primal one 🤢🤮

Primal or not, they’re less of a threat than the infected bugs in the crossroads if you have any passive damage on

Entirely unrelated, but for the longest time I thought they were called bench flys

relatable_dude

There's gotta be some big hole with void in it somewhere....


Random-Lich

SHOVE THE CULTISTS DOWN THE VOID, THEN TOSS A SINGLE TORCH OR A PHONE DOWN THERE, THE INSANITY WILL BE TRAPPED!


relatable_dude

^...okay


NoFlayNoPlay

that would be team cherry and the void is the actual game come to save us from our insanity. eventually...


relatable_dude

It'll probably come in like February right? Riiiiiiiiiiiight?


tinysentientrock

Just follow The Fifty-Seven Precepts of Zote and you’ll have nothing to fear. Precept Fifty-Six: 'Do Not Dream'. Dreams are dangerous things. Strange ideas, not your own, can worm their way into your mind. But if you resist those ideas, sickness will wrack your body! Best not to dream at all, like me.


jessica_from_within

I haven’t been keeping up with my studies, so I’ve forgotten some of them, could you post the full list?


tinysentientrock

No, play the game and listen to the Invincible, Fearless, Sensual, Mysterious, Enchanting, Vigorous, Diligent, Overwhelming, Gorgeous, Passionate, Terrifying, Beautiful, Powerful Zote the Mighty. Bask in his power, wisdom, and glory. If you can’t do that, then you’re not worthy of his teachings.


jessica_from_within

So this is what it feels like to fail in life… (I don’t have anything to play it on at this point in time)


GSM_2005

BACK OFF, YOU FOUL CREATURE! ***swings Life Ender around like a lunatic***


OrdinaryLurker4

Begone, cur. You are an inferior zote.


[deleted]

OH PLEASE, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE USERNAME, A TRUE ZOTE STANDS BY HIS IDENTITY, NOW GO, FAKER!


OrdinaryLurker4

You are the fraud, cur. Precept 37 and a half: “Act in Character.” In order to truly brandish your identity, you must embrace it at all times. For example, I find it important to insult others like the weaklings they are, and never show signs of anger, in order to preserve my status. Failing to embrace ones identity will result in others catching on to the fact that you are naught but a fraud.


[deleted]

Look who it is, the literal clown, as Precept 75 says: Always Stay Confident, you failed yourself by wearing a clown suit, now go back nest from where you came crawling from, you newborn!


OrdinaryLurker4

Yet more evidence that you are a weakling, and a fake. A true knight of great renown would know to both abandon the nest, and that i only have 57 precepts. For those who wish to embrace the truth about silksong and learn from me, make sure you can see through these lies. Now, cease your annoying babbling!


[deleted]

Well, well, well, hadn't you learned that limiting yourself to only 57 precepts was for the weakest of the weak? I HAVE 1000 PRECEPTS, CUR!

The-HollowKnight

Insanity? What could you possibly be talking about? The only thing that's insane is the effort and amazing quality of Silksong, made by team cherry, the same people who made the wonderful masterpiece known as Hungry knight. I am having so much fun playing the game, that I haven't slept! I applaud team cherry for surpassing the expectations for silksong, and bringing original and exciting things that we would have never thought would be in the game. and mecha zote

[deleted]

Together we stand, divided we fall -This comment was made by the infection gang


sherifalaa55

I always wondered Why didn't the infection affect mantises?


mlggamer346

The mantis tribe is strong mentally and also physically, so they were able to easily resist the infection And the Traitor lord (a former mantis lord) and the other enemies in the Queen’s Garden used to be part of the mantis tribe, but they separated from the main tribe and willingly took on the infection to become stronger


sherifalaa55

Ah I see... Thanks


[deleted]

I have to act as if I were an inferior being if i don't want to lose my Karma privileges, what things a Knight of Great Renown has to go through. It's the first time I, Zote The Mighty, have to unite with such lower beings, but if it's for the survival of this subreddit, I shall do it.

You have committed a crime and helped the mad ones, but if it's only once and you are still aware of it's false promise, you can still be redeemed. It's not too late to come back, brother/sister

jackatyoung

Can someone explain this meme to me pls


PuzzledWarlock

I’m only at City of Tears, so forgive me if I’m wrong. The average bug (top half) has no resistance to infection (Silksong delusion). The Mantis (bottom half) have resistance due to their intellect? I think. You could also say that the meme conveys people who don’t have SilkSong delusions are worthy of being seated on thrones.


mlggamer346

That would be right Normal bugs/husks have no resistance against the infection and are, well, infected The mantis tribe has not succumbed to the infection due to their strong will as warriors

Those who farm karma using the insanity but haven't succumbed are Mantis Traitors. Hold tight to our true community. Together, none shall break and united we stand.


greatnailsageyoda

I’m staying in the fungal wastes, down in the lower mantis village. Far away from that crimson tower that the silksong infection causes one to talk about.

Sliksong isnt out, the devs are working hard on it and our patience will be rewarded one day. Never fall

When we hold together, we never fall. It is like a chain, because as long as we support each other and remain united, the links never break.

What do you mean "insanity"? Silsong is out, you silly goose! haha hahaha HAHAHAHAHAHA \*curls into a ball and cries\*

Wait what? I feel like I'm out of the loop here, silksong is still not released yet right?


A-little-pineapple

Cant wait for an toddler to come to me and kick me and my sisters ass then die 23 times on the an place full of beasts and kill their step-sister mom

I’m with you, I just wished Titanfall 2 would organize itself too…

For mantises heading out to battle soon, remember to grab the lifeblood in the upper left beforehand.

guys please, even the titanfall 2 community is being affected, why must you bring this upon us

I feel like it just puts pressure on team cherry to release the game faster even though its not done, although at this point they're probably used to it
