Let's Cry Together Over Fictional Bugs - Tumblr Posts

Unpopular opinion: Maybe the Pale King was a good parent who just fucked up a lot...I understand there are people in the fandom who ‘dislike’ him but I honestly feel really bad for him...(god this game is so fucking sad (╥_╥) （ｉДｉ）

Agree and disagree...

No one can argue that what he did to his children was cruel, but he did it with the intention of protecting others, if he didn’t care he could had left, is not like the Radiance could’ve killed him.

I don’t think he was a good father, but if his most precious and painful memory was a moment with the Hollow Knight, I think he wanted to be, but in order for the HK to remain “pure” he had to distant himself.

And in the end sacrifying his child was his undoing. He just lock himself and waited for death.

That’s my interpretation, the Pale King was full of flaws but that’s what made him interesting.
