Like a rose, gorgeous but not afraid to stab if you get handsy.

The soul of Wicked is randomly inventing extremely elaborate relationships between characters who barely interact at all in canon. Also Fiyero is here.

…In that basement of that cabin is a Watcher. You are here to slay it. If you don’t, it will be the end of the world.

Random headcanon, I think the Voice of the Cold would be like. Really weirdly good at Just Dance. Nobody knew this until Opportunist and Contrarian pushed him into playing it.

I think Contrarian would also be really good at it. Stubborn and Smitten too, but they'd probably be way pickier about the songs they play. Opportunist is okay at it, but he doesn't like it very much, so the only time he plays is if it's to one-up someone in some way.

After Contrarian got into it, he'd always bug Cold to play, who usually agrees if he doesn't have anything better to do, and it became their little bonding thing. Contrarian also started pushing Hero to try it, but Hero didn't have enough stamina to keep up the whole way through most of the songs and he kept bumping into people.

Cheated and Opportunist would probably do some sort of Just Dance competition at some point. Cheated, despite his poor luck and lack of dancing experience, somehow won. Fighting Razor so many times probably upped his reaction time and coordination.

Hunted would also be pretty good at it. I could see him using it as a way to keep himself moving with purpose now that there wasn't anything to run from.

Paranoid would probably refuse to play unless Hero, Hunted, or Broken convinced him to, but if he did, he'd probably end up trying to copy everything the dancer on screen was doing.

Skeptic probably wouldn't want to play, seeing it as a waste of time. He could probably be convinced with enough prodding and the argument that they have nothing but time (assuming this is in "A New and Unending Dawn"). He'd probably be okay at it, not great, but okay. I don't think he'd be that big a fan of it.

Broken probably wouldn't ever play unless Hero really wanted him to (not super likely given that Hero doesn't like it all that much), but he probably wouldn't be great at it. I imagine he likely has a much slower reaction time and moves much more lethargically. He'd probably end up accidentally getting stepped on by someone else.

so ik i’ve seen a lot of hcs for what the batfam would listen to in the bat mobile and for tim a lot of people say that he listens to podcasts. which like yes i can see that but i also think if he is like podcasted out(bc i get that way so i think he does too) he listens to like cunty, trashy music in it. like they are on their way to a drug bust and tim is on aux and all the sudden you hear like ayesha erotica playing. and the goons are like “oh shit it’s spoiler!!! ,,,,, is that red robin????” so here is a list of artists/songs i think tim fucks w/ hard core when he is on patrol.(to preface he avoids pop-punk on patrol if he knows people will hear his music bc tim drake-wayne is known for enjoying it in my head so red robin is when he lets out the more suprising side of his music taste)

ayesha erotica(as stated)

"You remember that you are a distinct being with a finite form and a mortal body."

!!SPOILERS for the ending of StP!!

Concept sketch for my interpretation of Slay the Princess’s protagonist. I like the canon vagueness of his design, but I came up with a concept I wanted to explore c:

He has 2 pairs of wings, one on his head and one on his back. The "Narrator", in trapping him, clipped his wings and disguised them as hair and a cloak. Best to not to give any reminder that flying out of the woods is even an option.

The smaller pair wrap around his head like hair, the few remaining primaries folding over each other as bangs. On the “thumb” of the wings are birds feel, decoratively chained together. Don’t be fooled into thinking that chain isn’t meant to hold, though.

The larger pair drapes limply off his shoulders like a cloak. It’s fastened by an X shape. You know the one, when people are lazy with drawing medieval clothing (myself included) we use it as a closure, a formless cross drawstring. You don’t question it when you see it. You wouldn’t suspect it’s two massive metal staples puncturing his flesh.

He can’t see his wings for what they are, so he doesn't feel through them. Not until he can manage to remember...

(also i wrote a snippet hehe)

.

The Narrator: The pain is threefold.

First comes stiffness, an ancient ache creeping in from the edge of your perception.

Awareness of this newfound sensation latches on to your mind and pulls, quickly fracturing into a sprawling map of new body parts.

It’s your hair. It hurts, in ways hair shouldn't be able to hurt. Every fiber protests against you despite being just hair mere moments ago.

The fabric of your cloak betrays you as well. You're inescapably aware of the space you now take up. New, itching, uncomfortable, ugly sensations form all down your back.

Voice of the Hero: It's like we just regained blood circulation there. We're being stabbed a thousand times over.

The Narrator: It doesn't end there. Injuries that previously gone unnoticed now make themselves known. You recall running sharp fingers through your hair. Only now can you feel the dried blood. You would've taken better care of that cloak if you'd known it was made up of you.

Voice of the Hero: But what's happening to us?

The Narrator: The web of pain maps out its shape. Two pairs of feathered wings become part of your body once again.

Voice of the Hero: 'Once again'... having wings makes sense, I suppose. But how could we have forgotten this? It seems so inescapable now.

The Narrator: But as you go to reign motor over your limbs once again, the third pain rears it’s ugly head… cold, harsh metal digs into your flesh.

It pins your limbs in their poses. A tiny set of cuffs pull small wings taught around the circumference of your head.

The closure of your "cape" is two enormous staples, staked through your flesh and clamped down hard. There's no blood here, the wound long since healed.

...Who or whatever did this to you, it was never intended to be removed.

Voice of the Hero: Maybe we should keep more vigilant in the future. If we can't trust our own body... I don't want to think about it more than we have to.

With the talks of the rating becoming more mature in season 2, who do we want cursing and when ⁉️

Thinking about how the Tower & the Adversary routes are connected through the Fury, and how you kind of get there by turning one into the other, and how horrified they are by what they become. Tower is about subjugation - she outright says she does not believe the two of you are on equal footing. You get the Fury from her when you assert your independence and fight back, forcing her to take you seriously as a threat and defend herself. Adversary is all about an equal fight - she prides herself on her strength, but also admires yours. You access the Fury through her by refusing to fight, watching her beat you to a pulp and become disgusted by what she does to you. IDK it is interesting how the Tower & Adversary parallel one another, and how you end up with the Fury in each route by doing what their sister route would have wanted you to do.

ok hi im back again. can we talk about the hero harem. i wanna talk about the hero harem.

so. what do i mean by this. well, think of a dating sim. now stop thinking about a dating sim bc its not anything like the hero harem. the hero harem is an all you can eat buffet. a basket of bread at a restaurant. chips and dip.

the hero harem is a game of hungry hungry hippos.

see, we can all agree that hero is like. the de facto leader. he's kind and empathetic. a nice guy. easy to get along with. but most importantly: he's the voice you start with. the one you always have. the closest to the long quiet. the closest to the shifting mound as well. this means something probably. but most importantly, it means something to the other voices. they're disjointed and argumentative and the only thing keeping them together is sharing a body.

now, what happens when you give them their own bodies? chaos. absolute fucking chaos. probably some attempted murder as well. but hero wldnt let that happen. he's the glue holding them together. their rock.

what im getting at is, they're all codependant as fuck. clinginess varies but its present in all of them. always an arm around his shoulders or hand on his arm or. just hands everywhere. they're all very touchy in my mind. physical sensation is very novel to them and they want to get everything out of it they can. preferably with their hero.

you may be wondering. do they fight? do they tug at him like a barbie doll? growl and tug like dogs with a rope? maybe a little. in subtle ways. but its more like a class pet type situationship. he is theirs collectively. they pass him around like a bottle of bud lite is what im saying. like "its been one of those days. pass the hero" ykno. they all have their grubby little claws on him. and if we're adding the vessels? oh my god its like a fucking joint at a party. they are all in that shit. like cheeto dust on ur fingers. but like. its feather dust.

anyways, hero is a little silly guy who loves affection he's soaking this shit up dont worry about him. they feed him, they walk him. he gets plenty of sunlight ykno. its fine. hes fine.

i think one of my problems with The m/m bg3 ship is the majority of the shippers see astarion as “the femme one uwu” when like. arguably canonically he dresses more masc than gale even before considering the differences between elf/human gender expression. like sorry in the flowy feathered robe vs nightgown and cap meme gale is going in the flowy robe and its purple otherwise youre wrong.

Just finished my first playthrough of Slay the Princess and I don't understand half of what happened but I'm thinking about how the Narrator's whole plan of ending death involved killing in the first place. Thinking about how the Voice of the Hero is against killing her, and how that makes sense because he's the literal embodiment of stagnation and life (vastly oversimplified) as opposed to her embodiment of death and change (vastly oversimplified). Thinking about ravens and crows or whatever the fuck as a harbinger of death, and yet how that image is associated with both the protagonist and the Narrator. Thinking about how the protagonist is excluded from the Narrator's "good ending," or rather, he gets separated from the world, doesn't get to see it change, thinking about how the Voice of the Hero gets restless and bored in the stillness. Thinking about how the only ending where you can walk out of the final cabin hand in hand with the princess is the one where you don't take the knife with you.

Thinking about life and death, change and stagnation walking out into the unknown hand in hand.

Last arcane episode ever..... here we fucking go....
