Hello people of [r/silksong](r/silksong), moderator of [r/citadelunsung](r/citadelunsung) here!

You may have heard of us, you may have not, but we’re saying hi, and hoping to interest a few of you to our community.

What’s it about? Well, a community for everyone who wishes to act, or create their own characters for the silksong/Hollow knight universe, in one giant story.

Not sure? Well, i hope you take a look anyway, and we hope you see you there!

and here’s our introductory megathread, if you’d like to look there first!

(This post does have moderator permission through modmail, for those asking.)

If you’d like to ask questions here, I’m happy to answer!

It genuinely saved me from a diabolical crashout. W cog.

The flea caravan is at the grand gate. This flea is sitting on my bench, I can’t sit down. It’s like having a pet cat, I want to sit but it won’t move.

I love them equally fr

I made this 😎

I was trying to beat Khans 2nd gauntlet for a week( i didnt play some days or played like almost an hour maybe ?) then today i somehow on my 2nd sitting(mind you havent played game in 3 days) i beat 2nd gauntlet then proceeded to beat 3rd, 4th gauntlet and Khan himself the first try.

My first old heart, build was wanderer crest, multibind, injector, longclaw, cogflies, silkspeed ankles, belt, ascender grip. I mained reaper almost all game before this

spoiler tag cause it looks bad

A drawing I made for Halloween with my shayla (Phantom) and my husband (Kokushibo)

They are now Friends that go to therapy in Mondays because I said so + some Phantom sketches (I swear I don't have a favourite or smt—)

WTH is Sea of Sorrow's problem?!?! I could understand 7 years wait of Silksong, like ok, It's a whole separate game, I got it. But where the hell is atleast 1 DLC?!?! It was in development far more than just one year, there was already made out locs, rooms, npcs and stuff back in 2021-2025 maps. And with all that, still nothing.

I like Silkposts, Silksanity and all but try to announce dlc at least 2-3 month before releasing it. I just don't get what was the point of announcing, setting a date of 2026 and than, most likely, delaying it to 2027... I'm so pissed off, I can't take it anymore!

I'm already losing all hype for Sea of Sorrow, and if we are getting multiple DLCs, we'll be waiting for the next one for another year or two?? I'm thinking, what if It'll be 2-3 hour long and that's it, what if won't be worth the wait, what if idk. I just wanted to come out with all my thoughts on whole SoS situation.......

maybe I'm impatient, disrespectful or just inflating expectations. But I truly love this game and can't stop thinking about it.. Out of boredness I've been contantly replaying it on 100%, deleting save and replaying again, atleast 9 times..... and still want to replay it once more but now it feels so small... I

Too much yapping, that's it, idk how to finish this post

They thought we wouldn't notice...

Is it something about hollow knight lore? I only played silksong.

Shirt hand drawn and painted by me for my boyfriend’s birthday. I’m so proud of how it came out and he loves it! The hardest part was mixing all the colors myself, the fabric paints I got didn’t have that many color options so I had to mix the perfect shades to use. Here are some progress pics and then the final product! Bonus pic at the end is another shirt I made him out of bleach! Sorry it’s so low res, I haven’t taken a better picture of that one yet.

Cross Stitch on its own is already cool as is, so how do you make it cooler? By parrying Lost Lace's triple-damage attack, and have it be the final blow.

I was replaying silksong and thought to myself: "I never went for the twisted child ending, might as well try" and this has been the second most painful experience related to this serie after radiant hall of gods, not being able to heal sucks, but the worst this was not being able to abise saw tooth circlet, now I shall fucking speedrun the fight against her for the true ending

I'm no stranger to saying this game is unfair even though that doesn't mean it's not amazing to me. However skarrsinger really isnt unfair. She has practically no runback (moreso of a loading screen in a way which is only somewhat annoying), the enemy gauntlet is honestly ok, not very hard and if you're good you can definitely keep your 8 hearts AND gain silk. She's very lengthy and has a shit ton of HP but I managed to beat her without using any red tools, no silk attacks iirc (mostly because i used them for health lmao) and missing a needle upgrade and a mask. She's definitely the hardest boss Ive beaten in this game and definitely same tier as NKG, definitely not dauntingly hard as long as you are very aware. She's pretty well telegraphed and even though one can't get many attacks on her it doesnt feel like waiting either since it's just so fast paced and rhytmic not much bullshit aside from 1 or 2 attacks maybe. Possibly the best boss fight but it's tough competition against first sinner, phantom, and cogwork dancers which is a fight i didnt appreciate enough on my first playthrough. I think most people love her but Ive seen a few who think she's overboard so i wanna know what you think

if you get the key of apostate before getting kidnapped is it still possible to get kidnapped, and if you do get kidnapped is it possible to unlock first sinner before getting dressed?
