her name is fucking megan
No, she’s called Ponytail! Megan has a bob cut, and is obviously far less attractive. Uh… to that guy, I mean. Obviously…
Well maybe she needs a little badge that says “Fucking Morgan” so we would know.
Why should we know who she is fucking?
That is private information.
no I think King Arthur needs a little badge that says “Fucking Morgan”
You mean getting tag-teamed by Morgan and Mordred?
Mordred is his son, but he’s also (in most versions of the myth) his nephew, so not that out of character.
Isn’t Mordred Lancelot’s son?
Are they attracted to the image, or the idea of an intelligent woman?
Intelligent women are pretty hot… hmmm
Behold a sapiosexual
Hornet is certainly intelligent, but I think her defining characteristic is more “A woman who takes no shit.”
He’s talking about the xkcd woman lmao not Hornet.
The image.
If they were attracted to intelligent women they would be wearing a chequered hat and smoking a pipe.
People are getting horny over Hornet??
its the internet people get horny over literally anything
I’m sexually aroused by your lack of capitalization and punctuation.
I cAn, FiX! ThAT?
I don’t play hollow knight, but a friend who does told me there’s a line in the game that strongly implies she’s a lesbian. Methinks that implanted horny bug smut into many a gamer.
I must have missed that line because Hornet never struck me as someone with much sexual interest.
She has multiple journal entries about how she’s had mates in the past but since she’s a demi goddess thus being immortal less something kills her. She’s literally outlived all her mates.
It fills in a lot of background why hornet is closed off to the world and overly pragmatic in speech while her actions are that of someone who clearly cares far far too much about those around her for the words she speaks to hold any weight.
She’s a lonely person doomed to watch all those she loves and care for die over and over for eternity. While she does her best to close herself off to keep everyone at arms length and her interactions purely transactional.
Yet she fails over and over. Becoming attached and making friends. Going above and beyond to risk life and claw to save those she tells to not risk themselves for she selfishly claims she simply wishes to see no more death. But in reality she just can’t handle the heart ache of watching people die so she helps those who risk themselves in their pursuit.
Hornet is a sad somber character. A great look into the curse of immortality and the weight of responsibly that comes with it.
Bugs have pheromones so I guess it’s just a matter of the right scent
People generally get horny over knights in shining armor and princesses.
Hornet is literally a princess knight. Hell she even has a white steed.
She’s a bit of a tsundere on top of it.
Hollow Knight is a very very cliche story of knights and kingdoms both the first and silksong. These sorts of stories are basically the foundation for a lot of peoples childhood fantasy stories.
So you have a very well made classical knights and kingdoms fantasy story with well done classic renditions of the standard character tropes.
Combine these two facts and you have a breeding group for people to become overly attached.
There’s a good damn reason these settings and character tropes are classics!
Yes. Do a quick sweep over DeviantArt, Rule34, and Archive of Our Own for Hornet if you dare.
Is it because the XKCD women (and the men) are possibly naked at all times? It’s not obvious whether they’re wearing clothes all the time or not…
I prefer to think that Black Hat Guy is naked except for the hat
He would be, wouldn’t he
I think there are a few comics that imply they have that distinction?
Just like everyone on Lemmy… I know about you sick twisted sickos. AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW… you’re not alone.
It is quite obvious they are naked.
They have censor bars all over their bodies.
they had threads on /d/ about sign people, calling them pictograms
