The Emotion I Just Experienced Is Kind Of Indescribable

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?

Why does EVERY. SIGLE. FANDOM. I'm in has an overlap with the "In stars and time" fandom?! are they just everywhere? is this a conspiracy? ARE THEY THE ELITE THAT CONTROLS THE WORLD?!?!?

anyways the game looks cool but my broke ass can't afford it and even if it did I have other things I wanna play first (Scaret hollow, Deltarune when it comes out, Silksong IF it comes out...)

In fifth grade a boy tried to impress me by swallowing a whole tadpole live and I punched him so hard that he puked and the tadpole was fine.

I think what I’m seeing with the Slay The Princess fan base is that not enough people recognize that ALL the voices are a neutral force. Both positive and negative in their own ways.

I’ve seen people talk about Smitten showing love just as a thing, and I just saw a post talking about Paranoid needing to be written in fan content with his more negative side as well as his capabilities, but it’s actually like that for all of them! The voices are, quite literally, reflections of The Long Quiet— and they are their definition in every way it can be.

Smitten loves, and sometimes that love happens to hurt because he just wants what’s best for the Princess but she wants the same for tlq so it spirals and no one is happy.

I was thinking about Hunted, especially in the Den, where he is instinct and that instinct is to survive, but when he sees someone else also fighting to survive, he looks out for them and works as a team.

Cold is notorious for brushing off any emotions and with the mirror he will tell the decider that you don’t need to comfort the other voices. But he’s pushing for numbness so that it hurts less, so that you can handle it easier, so you aren’t paralyzed by guilt or by the decisions you have to make.

Opportunist is constantly changing his mind, trying to be on the “winning” side, and this causes him to be a jerk, pull the knife on the princess when it suits him and if you don’t want to hurt the princess he’ll then try to play it off. But he’s also got ways to keep you safe, know when something will turn on you because that’s what he would do, and he just wants the safety and security.

I could write them all out to be honest, but it’s about just taking their names at face value because that is literally what they are, and Slay the Princess does a really damn good job at portraying these traits as completely neutral. And it’s a game about perception, so depending on what choices you make, these neutral traits will seem more positive or negative, and I really think that’s a great message that can be done so so well and I honestly love it.

THIS IS SO F*KING CUTE

what if eeveelutions were slugcats

Obligatory contrian propsgnda

This vessel is too full of you.

I need an empty vessel.

We got peak lore right here guys

Yeah, but the gun can just use one bullet/blade, then the blade needs to be picked up, manually loaded and shot again.

Can he use a gun??

the narrator is a pacifist and installed a chip in tlq's brain to make him incapable of using a gun

CONTRARIAN MY GUY!!!!!!

I would like to think that in the original route contrarian would be so proud of the princess for throwing the blade

Contrarian in PaTD!

This was one of many reddit requests!
