[[WMG: One category of hornets tools will deal with manipulating her cloak]]
in the Xbox gamepass trailer we see her turn her cloak into a drill, considering her magic deals with manipulating silk having a whole category of abilities centered around her cloak would be fitting, we could potentially have her use them as wings to double jump and/or glide, or use it like a shield

If in case, the story of ''Silksong'' is set to take place after the events of ''Hollow Knight'', then the CuttingOffTheBranches trope will be inevitable - Some endings will be canon, and some would be eliminated:

We know that the game has had its fair share of feature creep, and the joke of the fishing minigame seems to be rather widespread. It’s possible that TC has caught onto it and is actually making/has actually made one.

The Knight uses godhome to train itself for the final battle but does not fully complete it and ascend to the Shadelord, before fighting and sealing the Hollow Knight along with Hornet(the hollow knight/sealed siblings) but accesses godhome as it sleeps, finishing its ascension first becoming the void entity(dream no more) to fight the radiance and then finally ascending to the voidlord(embrace the void/delicate flower) to finish it for good, which would also free Hornet who is likely in a weakened state after being sealed for an indeterminate amount of time making her an easy target to be captured.

Putting back per this att query and the Programme Note. Just because a WMG has no relation to reality or is Jossed doesn't mean it's not worth listing.

[[WMG: The Pale King will make an appearance.]]
However, he will have a different form than in Hallownest. Perhaps he changed and left his kingdom as a means of atoning for what he had done. Or maybe, like Hornet, he was kidnapped and brought to Pharloom.

If in case, the story of ''Silksong'' is set to take place after the events of ''Hollow Knight'', then the CuttingOffTheBranches trope will be inevitable - Some endings will be canon, and some would be eliminated:

* If Hornet is [[spoiler:alive]], then that means the "[[spoiler:Sealed Siblings]]" ending from the first game becomes invalid.
* If the Grimmchild would appear in one way or another, it could be a Continuity Nod to one of the endings from the first game's ''The Grimm Troupe'' content.

The first part of the game will be a prequel, then at some point during the game Hornet will travel to Hallownest. The events of the game will happen canonizing one of the endings, and then she will return to the Silk Kingdom, with it having some requisite changes that come with a TimeSkip.

[[WMG: The canonical ending will be one of the ''Godmaster'' endings]]
The events that transpire after Hornet [[spoiler:sees the Hollow Knight freed from the infection]] will serve as the tutorial for the game and lead up to her being captured and brought to Pharloom.

Removed some of these entries as Team Cherry themselves has stated that all endings from Hollow Knight are canon; there is no "True Ending" despite what the speedrunning community may say otherwise, and that future content will try to account for all of them. There was also a WMG entry that was basically total nonsense.

Due to the focus of bells and songs seen, making noise and music seem to be integral to the nation. So, much like the [[Franchise/DragonAge Church of Andraste]], they might believe that if they sing loud enough, then whatever god that may be there will listen. However, with the starting poem given, it can be inferred that if they actually ''do'' so, then they [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor might not like the result...]]

we see that the Knight was not the only Vessel that somehow escaped the abyss, the broken vessel as well as numerous corpses found around the world imply plenty more escaped, and there is no reason all of them would stick around hollownest, it could potentially be a simple boss or perhaps an npc with there own quest, perhaps starting out without much personality but slowly growing and expressing itself as Hornet helps it out and shows it kindness

* Hornet is shown in the Nintendo Announcement Trailer with a sawblade. Maybe she was able to access the White Palace somehow? Note that the sawblades from the first game only existed inside that Palace and nowhere else, it could be the only place where she got that inspiration from, if that sawblade tool was from Hallownest.

What if she prepared herself with these weapons before going into Pharloom? We know from the trailer that she was captured by strange bugs and had to fight her way out of the caravan. Maybe she had tools with her, but were confiscated, traded, sold, or given away by the citizens of Pharloom?
