#and both of these were true for these old characterisations of WL. People acted like its canon + only made her a tragic mother/wife figure

25 for White Lady?
25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
I remember she came off as so mean, cold and detached. And then I went to look up art of her and everybody portrayed her as a loving mum who's SO devastated over the fate of her children and I got SO confused?? Had to rematch her interactions with Ghost bc I thought I missed something LMAO, felt like i was being gaslighted for a hot second and didnt understood her character. But, honestly I wasn't crazy about her At All until I got back into Hollow Knight this year, like I just couldn't care less about her before, she didn't even exist in my mind and my AUs or any content I created of her (drew her Once when I was making concept art for FaaF and her fave wasnt even in the picture KDBDJDBD). The literally One Single Time I wrote about her was when I first made FaaF AU and she was SO awful there (both she and PK eventually got rewritten to be better parents, it works better story-wise)
Anyway I kind of got off track-
I really got into her character proper just this/last year when I got back into Hollow Knight. I still think she's mean but I love her for it, I support women's wrongs 💜 I think her character is interesting, I also think it's kind of wild that Ghost can just. Go and talk to their mum. Like that's just something they can do. And they can just keep coming back to her to show her stuff, like the flower. It's neat. Her actions are haunting the narrative but she's just kind of chilling there and doesn't give a fuck
