This is one of the reasons I LOVE stranger so much, the recontextualization of the situation. This is best shown when she talks about she being "The Stranger"

here she is accepting the undeniable fact that she will always be a stranger, but instead of fighting what happened to her she redefines what it means for her.

While something strange can mean something you aren't close with it can also mean something wonderful and new to discover and experience, thus by changing the meaning and not the fact she finds happines and meaning in what she is and has lived.

pd: I replayed an entire run(??) to take this screenshot and I've seen skeptic EOTN for the first time and I wanna comment some things about it

Thinking about how at the End of Everything, both the Soft and Harsh Princesses will express disinterest in being a god, and it is a declaration of their agency when they've largely been denied that agency in what they will become for the entire game. And so by not wanting to be a god, they are able to become their own person.

Thinking about how at the End of Everything, the Stranger says you shouldn't deny part of yourself if you say you dont want to be a god. And they were forced to become what is the most blatantly unpleasant [and likely painful] form of the Princess, but they do not resent you for it and instead have accepted their new condition and their godly nature as parts of them. Denial of the self does not negate it.

I would like to point out that as cold says in the fury he also will never make you do anything. And in the princess and the dragon he also expreses that he prefered having you around to mediate

Thinking about how much Hero loves LQT

He is the only voice that never tries to take control (I dont remeber if Hunted ever tries either but regardless) and even if he doesnt agree with your choices he backs you up no matter what

The only time he intervines is if the other voices arent respecting your decisions (Skeptic and Para stopping you from throwing the blade in the cage and Hero trying to fight them, trying to stop Broken and Smitten from killing you) or if you are not there (In the princess and the dragon he intervines in Opportunist plan)

And even if you are cruel to the voices when you reach the mirror and taunt them with their deaths, Hero will still help you reach shiftys heart and back you up in any decision you make even if he is still mad at you

Hero really fucking loves TLQ no matter what and that makes me so sad :((

Slay the Princess: a summary

I LOVE this three games (even if I just Talk about stp)

no caption

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????

Thank you Princess

She deserves her own wings, god I need a bird Princess wait hold on I CAN MAKE ONE

yum

did someone say… CONTRARIAN REDRAW?!

Crickets…

…no? Alright I’ll take my leave 😔

This Game has messed me Up so much that I just read the Word pristine and my brain went all

Amazing Slay the Princess movie poster concepts by u/uMisst on Reddit.

I need da help

so a while ago I saw an account who was posting about their 1st stp playthrough as they were playing and their first vessel was stranger. Does anyone know what's the name of this account?

Another thing that should happen but does not happen regarding the skeptic is getting to the cage after trapping yourself with the prisoner. Like, I can't be the only one who thinks that the action that gives you the achievment "THE PRISION OF THE MIND become your own jailer" should lead to THE CAGE right?

maybe if you want to keep the possibility of getting the old ending you can either keep hope that something will happen (old ending) think that there must be some sort of pattern or trick that you aren't seeing (cage paranoid) or maybe get all depressed (cage broken).

MORE SKEPTICK CONTENT BABYYYY!!!

(for those Who don:t know the game got an update and now skeptick is with you in HEA instead of paranoid, wich makes sense considering the whole "love melted into skepticism" thing )

This is what I meant by cold hate, not necessarily people who hate the character but people that read him as more aggressive than he really is just because most of the time he doesn't really care that much.

they make me SICK in the HEAD. the voice of the cold acknowledging that she's the victim in this scenario but never caring enough to try and change that. the construct telling the princess at the start of this loop that she deserves this over and over again, but she never knows why. and the voice of the cold knows she doesn't. and he doesn't care. and this was never what she deserved. and AUUUHGHHHHHH

He can take her

I had to and I'm not even sorry

MORE SKEPTICK CONTENT BABYYYY!!!

(for those Who don:t know the game got an update and now skeptick is with you in HEA instead of paranoid, wich makes sense considering the whole "love melted into skepticism" thing )

please stop the cold hate

and give him more appreciation

I have the theory/headcannon that depressed wife (HEA) tried to k*** herself before TLQ arrived but smitten didn't let her

I like the idea of giving every voice their princesess crown

The Voices .

(Like, all of them)

They are birds, but actually not really because they have other animal inspired featuresBUT THEN AGAIN WHAT IS ANYTHING OF THE LONG QUIET?

All of them get the crowns of their respective Chapter I princess's. The tiaras change depending on the princess, no context, no matter that they haven't seen the princess yet(is always more of a symbolic representation, some even mold them out of the path)

I imagine this dust feathers post-construct all got bodies because TLQ did them all by memory and yanked them from the Princess's hearts where they still stayed (in a part of the Shifting Mound still whiting her) or smth close to that. But when they actually became "real" they where put in a separate world entirely, itty-bitty tree house and everything for them.

*Bonus terrible size reference:

Also, to everyone who thinks oppy is smart

he's not

Like, I think the biggest display of intelegence we get from him is winning a game against depressed wife princess so yeah...

Paraniod and skeptick are way smarter or atleast seem to be more aware of their surroundings.

I don't hate oppy btw I just hate him

I'm tired (of seeing the apothosis)

Oh my GOD (no pun intended), I've been trying over and over again to get paranoid in the apothosis bu I just get ntrarian EVERY TIME (still love him ththhttotuougoughyu(however the f*k it's written))

pd. I just realised i wrote apotheosis wrong but it's really funny so i'm gonna keep it Xd

GOD I wanna pet them SO BAD

I lovehow the beast is completely surrounded in shadows and turning her head almost 180º on her portrait

while den is on her fours like

EC/MAD Razor question

Is there a difference between getting MAD or EC on the razor route or is it just random?

Also some people call her always the razor and some call her MAD/EC razor when she's in her final form but if we name each princess by their chapter's names this one is technically "The arms race"

I've seen some people calling this princesess

EOTN MOC

and HEA

but i have NEVER seen anyone call her anything but

The razor

why could that be?

The text doesn't align with the images properly in the phone version of Tumblr but I couldn't figure out a way to fix It so yeah ._.

After replaying eye of the needle I feel really compelled to start shipping Hunted x stubborn ngl

What are your ships for hunted and stubborn?

What people think enemies to lovers smitten looks like:

Smitten x thorn

What It would actually look like:

Smitten x narrator

Do you guys think the reason so much fanart exists for the voices is not because of them being great characters (all the characters in STP are), but instead because we spend more time in our own heads than we ever will with a version of the princess?

I get it. They're inherently relatable because they reflect our previous actions through any route and set the tone of each chapter. They bicker with us and are able to see every option we take.

But, maybe the princesses are underrated. As in, she's always an outsider. How quickly would she be more beloved if the voices would shut up and let us do our stuff, or if they were seperate from us?

How then would we judge the impulsive contrarian, the weak-willed hero or the depressed cold? Would we appreciate paranoid were he more than a life support?

Ask yourself that, and ponder it awhile. Don't say it to anyone. Just an hour of your independent thoughts, clear of little voices.

We're supposed to be unfeeling. How many times do I have to tell you to snuff out your heart?

Beak is less obvious with this one, but it does take the upper part of his skull.

Ha! I knew it! Your words are no match for the pure strength of our hearts, bound together as one.
