Reasons Hornet isn't void:
she tells you she isn't void
When you attack infected creatures with your nail, there’s an orange particle effect. When you attack void creatures with your nail (or when the Knight itself takes damage), there’s a black particle effect. When you attack normal, non-infected bugs, there’s a white particle effect. When you attack Hornet, there’s a white particle effect.
Don’t you get soul from her too?
@@Barakon yep
Doesn’t the pure vessel give white particle too?
@@letendreelliott8778 wait what

Short version:
She’s not void because she literally says as much. “That part of you, that crucial emptiness, I do not share.” It doesn’t MATTER what she IS, she outright states she isn’t Void.
OBJECTION: She might just be speaking about the lack of emotions/thoughts/personality vessels had. We do not know that "crucial emptiness" is 100% her reffering to void. Thats why Moss says that this line is used by the supporters of both theories.
But yeah, she's probably isnt void. **Probably**.
Draculinary cursed pfp
She says it but when the void brothers and her help keep the radience in place so you can slap it she gives a void like shape when she helps to hold it down
@@henrythewhaleman6033 no, that's the Hollow Knight. You can see the inner part of the head is different. They also have a cracked head and only one arm, just like the Hollow Knight.
She can't be void because she's never been infused with it, the vessels are infused but Hornet was never, she was just sent to Herrah etc.

*Hornet doesn't give off a Shade when she dies.*
*More evidence that Hornet isn't made of Void.*
Collector doesn't have a shade if you think on it hard enough... thonk
@@pyroball602 .... It can't leave a Shade cause it's just Void.
As far as we know, only Vessels, the hollowed out children of the Pale King and White Lady, leave shades behind. Have we seen *anyone* or *anything* else give off a shade? There's *us* (The Knight), the Hollow Knight, and *our* Siblings (I say "us" and "our" 'cause that's who *we* play as).
It's possible that the Collector *IS* a Shade, meaning that when we kill him, there's nothing else that can happen; he's *dead.* (BTW, if you use Godhome as an excuse to think he *isn't* dead, well... Godhome's a *Dream realm* where the Godseekers focus on Gods (powerful beings) to imagine them as they were before you killed them, or when they were in their prime; in reality, they still *are* dead. Just in case, ya know.)
Regardless, it seems to me that you might be trying to stretch for any evidence that points towards Hornet being made of Void, when there's a big, fat and wide carpet-bombing's worth of evidence that challenges the idea. There isn't enough evidence to convince me *(at least)* that Hornet is made of Void. I could be wrong about you, but it just seems that way.
Either way.... *thonk.*
@@pyroball602 So does the Kingsmoulds and Wingmoulds.
The Collector is just void creature. It is not a vessel. It does not have a Pale Shell so why would it leave a shade?
this is evidence that hornet is made of screen transitions
@@yuuri_ AH!! Never thought of that! *Genius!!*
I mean hornet can actually speak, and in birthplace we found out that vessels has "no voice to cry suffering", so that's best proof that hornet is not the vessel born of void.
I think it says that because the truly hollow vessel would not have a voice at all but I could be wrong
The collector is a void being and can laugh and make noises, so I don't think that matters. But hornet isn't void.
@@jonathan9304 it should have no thoughts so why would it speak
@@reeseelia2357 I think the collector has a voice because it's not a vessel
@@magis1234 well no shit mate!
My theory is that the bug holding the Love Key was once the collector, they owned the building, they were capturing grubs and other bugs, and in some way got their hands on some delicious void. This void was their treasured possession and they took it everywhere they went, gazing into it constantly. But due to the nature of void being deadly and all, the void took over that bug, killing it and inheriting the bug's will, becoming what we now know as the collector. Because of the void being liquid and all, it didn't exactly need to take the key to enter the building, hence why it's still on the corpse. The reason that the void didn't just take over or just puppeteer the bug's corpse like it does with the vessels is because it is a comparatively weak bug, unlike the vessels born of two higher beings.
Basically that bug in the queen's gardens used to be as crazy and eccentric as the collector of today.
I do like the Idea, but in the pale kings Workshop is a (idk how to call it, "machine"?) with the shape of the collector in it, so he was most likely created by the pale king.
@@KatzenminzeWarVergeben mold.

Instead of taking the easy way and killing the Hollow Knight, Hornet says to git gud and fight Radiance
In the true ending, Hornet is unconscious in the ground and the void filling the black egg goes back underground, leaving her there. The shades disappear. So, there's that.
Exactly. I thought this was clear evidence that she's not void. I don't know why it wasn't included in the video...
how come the knight is still with hornet?
@@MiltonRosso He's not. The true ending is defeating the Radiance in the Black Egg. In this one all void goes underground.
You must be thinking of the extra ending added on the Gods and Glory dlc. In this one, someone steps towards Hornet waiting at the door, possibly the Hollow Knight free from the Radiance's influence.
have not watched the video yet, but this is my thoughts also. Its clear she is not part of the void, as all the void returned.
You could argue that since she is an independent creature, the formless void receding wouldnt effect her. Though that is reaching.
Honestly, the fact that hornet is the Knight’s half sister kinda just makes me like her more, it’s a cool dynamic.

“No voice to cry suffering”
It’s so obvious
Even the Pure Vessel doesn’t cry out when the fight starts. It’s completely silent
@No YeLLInG On THE BuS apparently vessels were forced to not have a voice whether they think or not
@No YeLLInG On THE BuS the only vessels, with a voice are the broken vessel at the ancient basin and the hollow knight, but those ones are corrupted by the radiance and even sounds like her. but when you fight the hollow knight as the pure vessel, it screams but has no voice, you only hear the wind blowing.
So no, vessels don't have voices.
Hornet: *speaks*
Everyone here: see? No void!
@@lukaerd6258 I love all the attention to detail in this game. Pure Vessel isn't just "the final boss but harder". It has actual lore implications and its attacks change based on the fact that it's not corrupted by the infection but is more in control of its body and soul abilities.
2:33I think when the white lady says “striking reflection of her mother” it’s less about their visual similarity and more so that hornet shares traits with herrah like “she’s fierce, strong in mind and body” and that’s what is strikingly similar to herrah
Rewatching it all in 2022, and another detail I noticed in the hornet fight is that when the knight is hit, the resulting 'blood' is void scattering across the screen, whilst when hornet is hit it is the standard response of normal bugs absent of infection.
Fun insect fact! Bug blood is called hemolymph!

I always thought it was pretty clear that she isn't void because of the line "Though our strength is born of a similar source, that part of you, that crucial emptiness, I do not share."
the crucial emptiness is the void that Ghost is made of, and the "strength from a similar source" is them both being children of the pale king
also "I won't be joining you in this. That space is built to sustain your likes. Its binding would drain me were I to join."
also she can talk! the vessels have no voice to cry suffering. hornet has a voice. so she's not a vessel.

Most of what I remeber of Hornet is just her saying "Shaw!" 15 times in her boss fight.
The game lists that hornet isn't void by calling her:
Ahem.
"The gendered child."
We know that herrah and the pale king certainly weren't void, and they created hornet.
Also, about the whole "gendered child" thing, all vessels are referred to as genderless. All vessels contain only void. Any other bugs are said to have genders. Only the vessels, which are made of void, are genderless. And hornet is referred to as the _gendered_ child, the opposite of genderless.
100% proof that hornet is not void
Hornet is not void. However, this argument is wrong, as you are inferring causality from correlation.
1. All vessels are referred to as genderless. This is true.
2. All vessels contain only void. This is also true, as far as we have seen.
3. Only the vessels, which are made of void, are genderless. For all of the bugs we have seen, this has been true.
4. Hornet is referred to as the gendered child, the opposite of genderless. This is also true.
In none of this has there been any evidence that Hornet is void, because you are assuming that being void is the same as being a vessel, however we have seen that this is not the case; Kingsmoulds and the Collector are examples of why this is false. Your correlation is that all vessels have void, all vessels are genderless. Your inference of causation is that therefore, all void is genderless. Just because both things are linked to being a vessel does not mean that they are linked to each other, so your argument is inherently flawed.
@@juliuskulla2097 There's no reason to believe all things void aren't genderless though. The Kingsmould are void constructs, meaning they're Golems build by the Pale King for a purpose. There's no reason it would need a gender. The Hunter's journal even refers to the Kingmoulds as "it" clearly avoiding gendered pronouns. Now you may have a point with the Collector although again the Hunter's journal refers to the Collector as an it. If we had been given any indication that void beings could have a gender you'd have a point, but since there is no evidence that points to gendered void beings I'll side with Mr. Memes.
@@juliuskulla2097
If Hornet isn't a vessel then she has no reason to be made of void. They're technically correct in a roundabout way, still proof. Then again, maybe my reading comprehension is garbage
Julius Kulla well, no, because he’s still right, it was just a mistake, he’s still right, the kingsmoulds and wingsmoulds are genderless as well, he was referring to only the vessels because only the vessels are children of the pale kings, the kingsmoulds and wingsmoulds can’t have genders because they’re constructs, kind of like robots

Re: Defective vessels: I mean, I'd assume that all of the thousands-to-billions of dead Vessels were deemed defective. Just because the White Lady claims our player character is a perfect vessel doesn't make it true. The Hollow Knight was imperfect because they had enough thought in them to worry; they look back at you in that cutscene, the Pure Vessel has hidden thoughts buried in the code, representing how much those thoughts ("DON'T THINK") were repressed. Our player character proves they're not truly empty by the myriad of things they can do that have nothing to do with sealing the Radiance, like giving Elderbug a flower. There's no reason to do that except feelings of compassion and gratitude, but the player character can do it.
A perfectly empty vessel doesn't exist. The Pale King sacrificed untold hordes of his own children on a fool's errand, and the Hollow Knight's desire to protect the bugs of Hallownest was exactly the reason they couldn't.
the opposite might also be true, the reason "ghost" does those things could be A: the bug it's helping could reward it in a way that further benefits the main goal (like giving a mask shard so it can more easily avoid death) B: it may lead "ghost" to an area that further benefits the main goal, and C: the task may grant it an ally that would help in accomplishing the main goal
the only important thing is weather or not "ghost" has an Ideal or feeling driving it. A good counterpoint is moments like when "ghost" sits next to quirrel before he either leaves or dies or something (not sure what actually happens) or when it strikes down the nailsmith as per request (purely optional but it CAN happen so I guess it's half-cannon)
since either side could give their own interpretation every one of "ghosts" possible actions I think it's safe to assume that we don't know if this games player character is a truly "perfect vessel" or not and we might as well flip a coin for all it matters.
confirming that the pale king is indeed a fucking idiot
The hollow knight was a perfect vessel until the king bonded with him as shown in the path of pain cutscene so in reality the king finally found his perfect vessel until he fucked it up. The bonding gave the infection something to corrupt and allowing it to seep out. But case and point, the perfect vessel does exist the king just kept ruining it
When you beat the Hollow Knight the normal way, you just stave off the corruption. You will lose to it as well, at some point.
The only reason the Hollow Knight lost in the end, is because he didn't have the King Soul charm, and didn't gain a greater control over the Void.
Pale King failed, because he wasn't brave enough, to grant the Vessel god-like power. He thought, that just some sprinkling of Void would have been enough.
@@cyryl3827 I'm more inclined to believe that the Pale King could not understand the Void and foresee its doings (most likely because the Void is older than time, stronger than anything and eldritch in nature, so his powers of future telling could not reach it), so even after foreseeing the future of doom on the kingdom he would erect, he still believes it could be saved with the use of the Void.
Remember how empty the palace felt? The King did not have to study most things because he could both tell the future and remember from his vast memories of the world. The Void, however, was out of his reach, unless he decided to learn about it by experiments. And that's why he had a workshop on the Acient Basin. In other words, it's not that he distrusts the Vessels and give HK too little power, he just can't figure out how to tap the power of The Abyss anymore.
Honestly speaking, HK was more than enough to keep Radiance sealed for a long time, but its gradual gain of personality would eventually make it both unable to contain the infection and less adequate of a vessel (void needs emptiness, and that's why HK has no void attacks after being infected).
Such is his disappointment when his plans are ruined that he assumes the kingdom has no chance of ever recovering, and all his personal sacrifices along with the ones did by his subjects were put to waste. A promise of an eternal kingdom just to throw everything he got and fail at last? Shame and sorrow no one can bear.
If HK was simply not given the strenght he needed, PK would for sure try to correct his mistake. Instead, PK just gave up, most likely because he had already exausted his tools, or at least so he tought.

Just adding my thoughts, why would Pale King even make Hornet a vessel? In order to contain a god, would you use the child of two gods or the child of one god and a random spider
She wasn't even made to hold the Radiance though.
Milk_Choc exactly, so there’s no reason she would be void
She can't be a vessel either way, she has a mind
@@rich_gamer0667 *coughs* Hollow Knight *coughs*
@@rich_gamer0667 your referring to a PERFECT verssel not just a vessel our little boi is just a vessel yet he still is able to do side quests heck the hollow knight was able to feel attached to the pale king even thought he is a vessel
I legit checked the Pale King wiki to see if that was actually in the trivia section... It's not, but it should be! XD
"Like the tooth fairy is real" Mhmm.
"Or Santa is real" Yep.
"Or that the earth is actually round" *picks up a shotgun*
The main counter argument to 'Hornet isn't void' is 'the emptiness Hornet is referring to is the knight's hollowness'. Well, why does Hornet talk to the knight in ways that only non hollow beings could understand? Hornet isn't the only one aware of the vessel's nature that talks to them as if they weren't hollow: Orgrim and Ze'mer. And last but certainly not least, Steel soul Jinn, "it has a will of it's own." And thing you do to make her say this is to refuse to trade, which in itself is something requires a will. And the void heart description states 'unifies the void under the bearer's will.' And the siblings description states, 'a fragment of a lingering will.' And the wander's journal states the void tendrils, 'have a will of their own.'
Counter conter is defective vessels

I'm gonna ruin this mans whole career, She's not void because she has a purple cape instead of grey.
Okay to stop the notifications everyone keeps sending the same response. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR LOOK AT THE REPLIES A GO AWAY.
Kathy Kat there are shades of purple that look like that. Colors can be weird. There are colors considered white that are peach. Of course that might have something to do with skin color.
Red cloak
It isn't even that! It's RED!!!
I am so confused.

Early?!? To a Mossbag video?! Man, my day's really SUCKED. It was pretty DARK, almost like there's NOTHING to do. But suddenly a mossbag video drops, and my HOLE day turns around. It was pretty great.
*HOLE*

What are you trying to say
Yeah, I know. That comment was deVOID of any humor whatsoever.
STOP BRINGING THESE (hole)SOME PUNS?
@@ultr4tr1ps Please a *VOID* these horrible puns.
"how extremelly deffective a vessel could get"
TLDR: Zote
The pale king must’ve been packing monstrous balls to make the vessels
Okay. You convinced me of Hornet not being made of void. As always i end up agreeing with most of your opinions.
But the real important matter is...
The speculation video about the hollow knight being 99% husbando material.
Maybe Hollow Knight is the more feminine type, who knows? I mean, it literally has no genitals so...
Yeah.
@@goosemanVEVO Tall, dark and handsome. He has all the important features to be male and desired by many.
@@lucchi018
Now I just wanna set up a Hollow Knight Tinder account.
Zote is hotter.
@@goosemanVEVO Fun fact, in the Kickstarter page, Team Cherry referred to the Knight as male, meaning he was originally planned to be a boy. (Not to mention literally the entire fanbase refers to the vessels as males)
Another great video from PewDiePie
he said to not actually call him that

6:55 Mantis traitor : let me join the video .
Knight : Hmmmmmmm no
12:30 Hornet : Its Time .....
Knight : ok while he hit the vessel like a stupid .
9:25 For some reason, the line "they lost their gender" was really funny to me. I pictured it as a physical thing they left somewhere in the abyss. Just wandering around, eventually "oh, hey, my she-her!" or something
i am agender and this is how i lost mine
"Damn it, I dropped my she/her. Not again..."
"My dick fell off wtf..."
Shit lost ma verginaty
I imagined the other physical thing

Why does this have so many likes but no comments?
Honestly it's odd to me that people would bother to think Hornet is void. Like, she doesn't use any void abilities, only the needle and string, so why bother?
Also, she literally says she "doesn't share that crucial emptiness" after you scale the Abyss when you acquire the shadow dash from that statue holding the bowl. Pretty much confirming she's not like you. Not sure how to refute that.

WHAT!?
Are you implying Santa ISN'T REAL????
...
yes.
F-F-UUUUCK!
he's also implying that the earth is flat, so that doesn't mean anything. I think...
yes
No, santa is obviously real! What else would explain the 80 year old man that comes every Christmas and asks my 7 year old self if i want "presents"!?
*wait a second*
"the only defective vessel we know of is the hollow knight"
And the Broken Vessel.
And The Knight. Since, you know, has will strong enough to "unify void", and thats a big flaw as far as the purpose of vessels goes.
And that one knight in Hornet's boss room in greenpath who is defeated by her
and all the ones in the nosks chamber
AND THE TRILLIONS OF DEAD VESSELS
No, hes not defective, he failed in his mission and then the infection took control of his body, but he is ded
5:37 "If you talk to her while she's wearing the Kingsoul..." - Mossbag
Btw Hornet says that she is not made of void doing the first hollow knight, in fact she says:"the void in u doesn't belong to me" or smth like that
12:55
"the only defective vessel we know about is the hollow knight"
so you are saying that ALL THE SIBLINGS THAT WERE DUMPED INTO THE ABYSS ARE *NOT* DEFECTIVE?
"Some things should never be discovered" - Pale king
No, they failed, I actually thiink that they are like they are vessels that died (Basically STeel Soul). Such as Broken Vessel (He is dead and his Shade is somewhere, he is not alive when fighting him. (Wait, then why when defeat Lost kin he has a soul? SHOULDNT IT BE A SHADE OR SOMETHING?)
The key word in that phrase is know
they failed, but also the pale king grew attached to the hollow knight, likely because it was the first vessel to make it out. its not like he made all the vessels duel it out and instead chose the first that made it out. also, what if the pale king knew the hollow knight wasn't strong enough and saw the knight contain the radiance? he did have the ability to see into the future, it took the HK AND 3 dreamers to seal away the radiance and the knight does it without a single dreamer to help. that would also rely on the knight being the perfect vessel. he might've banked on that and didn't see the knight be able to kill the radiance truly and fully, instead of putting a cork in it like the endings. several characters do comment on how the king seemed to make some poor predictions
Hey! I’m not defective
*"I swear to god if it's Wyrm ambergris..."*

Oh never mind
Thank god someone finally made this.
Mossbag : "let's pretend the tooth fairy is real, or that Santa Claus exists . . ."
Me : "Okay."
Mossbag : " Or that the Earth is actually round!"
Me : "Wait, what?"
He's joking... Right?
Nah we all know the earth is a doughnut
Also, Hornet uses her "weave" to hold the Hollow Knight down so we can dreamnail him. The weave is made of soul, an attribute of the Pale King, not void.
We don't actually know if the weavers use souls for their silk. We don't really know anything about the magical powers in Hollow Knight sadly. Even soul is very vaguely explained inside the game.
0% void
100% SHAW
And more than half of hollow knight r34
I just realised the Hollow Knight grew up over time and that's why he's bigger.
Meaning that Ghost and Hornet are likely similar ages and they could both grow to about the same size as him. (Does that make them the bug-equivalent of babies or do they just have super long life cycles? Or both??)
I wonder what they would look like.. Maybe we'll get to see an older Hornet in Silksong.
"I guess the gift was... You know, His dick."
You know, I always wondered why people say things like "I get so happy when I see a notification from (CZcamsr of the video they're commenting on)", it always felt so fake to me, like, in the age of thousands of subscriptions there are very few people that you even have a chance of being focused enough to wait for uploads and get giddy with excitement from, you usually forget after long enough, but I finally understood when I found your amazing, hilarious, informative, captivating videos on my favorite game. Thank you good sir, I may not have a good life, but goddamn if that 10-20 minutes or more of Hollow Knight content I get every once in a while and the extra time from re-watches doesn't keep the noose in the closet. And gut-exploding jokes like that are (a big reason) why. Thank you, comrade. Thank you.
YAY ANOTHER VIDEO
And apparently the pale king is a male prostitute... good to know...

''The only defective vessel we know about is the Hollow Knight''
the thousands of dead vessels in the abyss: Are we a joke to you?
he only says that because it's the only vessel we know for sure is defective
IM NOT DEFECTIVE! This guy’s just mean...
i think he ment: the only *ALIVE* defective vessel is the Hollow Knight.
but if not, then he just did a mistake
Defective's definition according to Google is "imperfect or faulty." When he says the Hollow Knight is defective, he means that it failed at actually doing its job--a vessel dying does not make it defective, it didn't get far enough to be defective in the first place: It did not get the chance to try its job and fail.
