Slay the Princess: a summary
I also don't understand what the f*ck he means by "They always do in the end"
Hiiii these Tower/Cold parallels haunt me!!
You can tell Tower she's meant to destroy the world, and she's like, "Yeah, absolutely, you're so right." And in Tower Fury, the Princess calls you nothing, and Cold is like "no, wait, that's true." It's just so !!!!!
Cold and Tower are not allowed to meet. Otherwise, they'd immediately figure out their exact divine natures XD
I'm also thinking about Cold's "Boohoo, it's just a body." And Apotheosis going."Your victory remains in the physical world while I am beyond." (Not direct qoutes)
My first thought was that Cold is like TLQ version of Wild, bc she's the most Shifty-y and he's the most LQ-y but he's also very Tower/Apotheosis adjacent; and while this may not be the version of Fury he felt something with, shes still Fury, and he said Fury was like him and felt something when we stabbed her.
I love how every character is a foil and mirror of at least 3 different characters. It makes analyzing them so much fun
I think they're silly. I'm rotating them in my brain together
Bonus points:
Princess gets stabbed by nothing after being forcefully removed from godhood. I wounder what exactly she understood. I think she realized that you're equal and opposite here (or in short, you're her partner god), but that's just me. The "But... I'm going to be okay, right?" I think it might bc she knows this isn't actually over, that she's not over, and maybe bc she recognizes the nothing around her as you
Also, "They always do in the end." The FUCK do you mean by that Cold????
CONTRARIAN!!!!!❤️🐦⬛❤️❤️🐦⬛❤️❤️❤️❤️🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛❤️🐦⬛❤️🐦⬛❤️❤️🐦⬛🐦⬛
Voice of the Contrarian doodle 👌
Also a lot of people Talk about Cheated and Oppy, but to me It doesn't really seem like Cheated dislikes Oppy more than any of the voices do. In thorn he doesn't seem to despise Oppy any more than Hero and when anyone talks about him they say he's annoying at best. Like no one can even be genuinely angry at him because he so obviously bad at what he does that he isn't even a threat.
we don't talk enough about our voices beef headcanons. c'mon, no way these guys always get along, have you seen their interactions?
Cheated and Oppy absolutely despise each other. Cheated is too much of a righteous little prick, and worries a lot about fairness for someone who is willing to stab others in the back if she suspects any foul play, and Opportunist is Opportunist.
Contra is sure most of the other hates them, and makes no effort in really changing that or even giving others much grace when they're the ones who start annoying him.
Stubborn cannot fucking stand Skeptic. he's all just yap yap yap, and no action! Why do others listen to him and not Opportunist, if they all love a big talk so much?
I’m so glad that things like survivorship bias and statistical outliers became memes I wish more critical thinking skills would become widely-understood this way, I’m not kidding let’s get on this
from the very first playthrough of the Slay The Princess this was an idea I wanted to draw
(spoilery talk under the cut)
i couldn't stop thinking about The Shifting Mound and The Long Quite basically representing Yin and Yang:
both are part of one whole
both are opposite and controversial but at the same time alike
both compliment each other
both carry parts of each other inside themselves
both together they create harmony of life and death and existance
i love this game so muuuch yaaay!
yin and yang, complementary and opposing forces
OK, so. The top picture might be a reference to an old religious statue that was made because of a "divine dream" a nun had where she said that an angel entered her room and started piercing her with his lance, but instead of pain she felt pleasure and the faster he went the better she felt until It reached a clímax and she felt a sensation that she "didn't ever want It to stop" summary: a nun had a wet dream and confused It with a religious experience.
If the title wasn't clear enough I wanna write about some of the desing elements that I've seen for the voices + ones that I came up with and think they would be cool
GENERAL :
I really like the idea of giving every voice their respective princesses' crown, not only because it fits pretty well most of them but also because it makes it easy to instantly recognize which voice are you looking at. This idea comes from @pixiefeatherkw3
PARA:
I like it when people give him very spiky feathers becuse it makes him look like he has goosebumps and gives him a very "jumpy" look. I also think it would be a really cool Idea to draw para with eyes on his wings (to clarify i've seen people draw hunted with eye-like marks on his wings but here I'm talking about seeing functioning eyes) mainly because of two reasons
He is often shown as very observant and vigilant so having a lot of eyes that he can wrap around him to see in a 360º angle makes a lot of sense to me.
It would be a paralel with nightmare
(i will be expanding more on this post on the future)
