Random idea: IF the Dreamers are still alive in the real world, then you should SEE them in Godhome. AND get bonuses for keeping them alive.
Team Cherry could totally pull this off as it's still the Dream Realm AND the Godseekers are calling just about everyone there.
Now, I am not saying that we should get Dreamer Boss fights (though that would be cool even if impossible to pull off if you know the original concept of the Dreamers), but what about finding a secret room and BOOM! The Dreamers are there.
Now, finding the Dreamers would be cool and all, as you get extra dialogue with all three and get to see everyone's character (especially you Lurien). But what if they would give you boosts and insights into the Boss Fights you are about to do?
What if Lurien could analyze the Boss fight weaknesses, specifically the glitches and loopholes in them such as False Knight's/Failed Champion's cheat or White Defender's cheat? What if Monomon ran tests in the background to help you figure out how to get the Lifeblood seeds, not to mention help you get them? What if Herrah would randomly help you in battle? Though I would not be opposed to her taking care of Godseeker for me due to all the times Godseeker calls Little Knight a worm as in the earthworm.
And finally, when you reach the final bosses in Pantheon of Hallownest, the Dreamers actively help you during the final bosses fights, each one taking turns (depending on lore or character) until all three help you take on Absolute Radiance. Say goodby to Fall Damage! Also, the idea of Monomon launching an explosive at the Radiance's face looks so lovely.
And of course, the ending cutscene where all three Dreamers wake up and the Hollow Knight is freed to a world without an Infection...please?????? Canonically, the Godhome ending and cutscene STILL play if the Dreamers are alive, but we don't SEE the Dreamers waking up. So please can we see them? Can we see all the hugs?
Anyway-what do you all think?
Do you think Team Cherry or any community modders could pull this idea off? If so, would you play it?
Help me ya'll. I actually wrote the fanfic about this premise.
*Sees adorable headcanons that Baby Hornet was a biter and declared Uncle Lurien to be her favorite chew toy.*
Me: "Ahh...that's so cute. I should write that sometime."
Lurien: "How about please no?!?!"
Me: "You'll survive! Besides, it will give you a resistant to spider vemon. "
*After some time, decides that Blue Morpho Butterfly would be perfect for Lurien. Makes him one.*
*Finds out that Blue Morpho Butterflies are poisonous. *
Me: "Wait? What?!"
*Doubles checks that fact. Finds out that almost all animals avoid Blue Morphos after eating one due to the butterfly being quite deadly thanks to poison.*
*Notes it says quite deadly.*
*Doubles checks size of said animals. *
*They're like small mammals and birds, quite a few sizes bigger than Lurien. *
*Expect for the dumb human who swallowed a Blue Morpho.*
*Checks Hornet's size again, who is many sizes SMALLER than Lurien.*
*Realizes that Hornet is 100% teething toddler who sees everything as a chew toy and can't control her vemon yet.*
Me and Lurien: "Oh no. "
