[@thewanderer5506]

At first I thought he was tumbling down and couldn't stop, but around the 1:30 mark, I realised it's a controlled decent. He's kicking off, spinning and catching himself. I don't know why but I love this detail

[@Aren61104]

It changes throughout the song. At first it is indeed a tumble but the Knight gets better at it over time and starts doing more complicated maneuvers. At one point when doing a trick they lose control and start tumbling but then Hornet comes and steadies them. The next time they try it they're able to pull it off. There's a great level of detail in this animation.

Just noticed the Ghost as small eyebrows (?) showing emotion or strain while when the Hollow Knight ahows up and rolls it doesn’t have any.

Me silently dying on the inside because The Hollow Knight is the one that feels emotions and The Knight is the one that doesn’t feel emotions, the whole point of the non secret ending of the game is literally that that makes The Knight a suitable vessel and he needs to replace The HK.

Lonely girl, Alone inside her head Her dreams slip through her fingers again Thoughts collide as she turns inside her bed Clawing ‘round and around Clawing ‘round and around “I’ll be fine” She whispers in her sleep The words are drowned inside of her pain Failure again Failure again Looking for ways but lost in a haze of Endless rolling days One more time One more time I’m gonna roll just one more time A voice in her head A voice in her head Screaming all the words that were left unsaid “Will it ever end?” “It may never end.” Nobody can tell what’s lying ahead So let me take your breath away now Rolling girl, An endless road ahead The days just blend The colors entwine She sees the signs But they pass her by again Fading like a mirage Fading like a mirage “I’ll be fine” She whispers in her wake The words are lost inside of her brain This is your chance So take it or leave it The only real failure is giving up here now Even before you’ve tried One more time One more time She begs to be rolled just one more time I can’t be done yet Can’t be done yet Soundless are the words that were left unsaid “Will it ever end?” “All in good time.” The tunnel in your head is nearing the end So hold your breath just one last time now One last time One last time “I’m gonna roll just one last time” A voice in her head Voice in her head Laughing out the words that were finally said Will it ever end? This will be the end. All the misery will pay off in the end So take just one last breath And let go

Fun fact: the original song is made by an artist called wowaka. He uses a program called Vocaloid which is a vocal synthesizer that turns various sounds from people into voice banks that can be turned into different songs. Rolling girl is one of wowaka’s most popular songs. but he died of heart failure in 2019

[@crunchygrunchy5741]

Oh wow. I laughed because I thought this was funny before I remembered just how dark the game is. Whenever I noticed that THK wasn't showing any emotion like Ghost was in this animation it made me extremely sad, remembering that they had to suppress their emotions and keep from emoting so they wouldn't be thrown down into the abyss with their less fortunate siblings. And ghost! How long did they spend down in the abyss? They must've been trapped in there for ages before they found an exit. It's shameful how the Pale King just discarded his children like that. I should go to sleep..

[@jacobfreeman5444]

He was desperate. He was besieged on all sides by a force he couldn't combat. So he turned to the one sure thing he had. The progeny to be. How could he know his goal was doomed from the start by the very methods he used to try and succeed? I think those discarded children were not resentful, but mournful they could not live up to his expectations. That they could not lift the despair from him. And perhaps he knew this. A terrible burden indeed. We can see he did bear some affection for them in his memory. How oppressive his own fear and guilt must have been, especially at the end.

[@lorenzoartegiani5258]

The song is depressing too, so there's no problem I guess
