[...what have you people been teaching these children.]

[Muffet just decides not to ask.]

Hello, dearie. It's understandable to be a bit confused, since we come from so many different worlds. I'm rather surprised we understand each other as much as we do.

As for your list, as far as I'm aware...

[There follows a neat, point-by-point glossary, because Muffet is nothing if not efficient.]

Movie- a method of entertainment in which technology is used to create moving pictures in order to tell a story.

TV series- similar to a movie, but a group of shorter stories instead of one longer one.

Comic book- another method of using pictures to tell a story, but by simply drawing them one after another on paper and then binding them all into a book, instead of making them move.

Hot Topic- I'm not entirely certain about this one, but I believe I recall a human-run store by that name?

goth- A human subculture. As far as I understand, it mostly seems to involve being fond of somewhat morbid topics and aesthetics, wearing the color black, and writing poetry. The poetry may or may not be good, depending on the skill of the person in question.

season- A period of time marked by specific weather conditions, such as colder or warmer temperature, or more frequent rain, as well as other changes in nature. Usually cyclical, conditions associated with one season will give way to the conditions associated with the next in time.

scurvy- A medical condition that can occur in humans as a result of poor nutrition. Certain foods contain a substance known as vitamin C, which is needed to keep humans alive and healthy. If they go too long without ingesting anything that contains it, their health will suffer greatly.

dude- A human slang term. Originally referred only to male humans, has now become a way to refer to any person in a casual and informal manner.

I hope that this helps. Please feel free to ask if there's anything else you'd like to discuss.

[ Oh! This helps. This helps a lot, actually. THANKS SPIDERMOM ]

thank you

have seen 'comic books' before but they were not called that

are foods that give vitamin c orange ? [ because they have NO IDEA why scurvy, of all things, would come up otherwise. ]

[prettypurpleparlor]

You're quite welcome.

Some of them are, yes- there's a fruit with sweet flavor and vividly orange coloration that's known for being a good source of it.

However, if you'd prefer other options, I believe strawberries are also fairly rich in vitamin C.

[She's not one-hundred percent sure if their sibling needs be concerned about scurvy or not, but just in case: she promises you don't need to drink the orange juice, Hollow Knight. Please just eat a strawberry and don't worry about it.]
