This is a love story.

constantly thinking abt the long quiet and the shifting mound and their relationship w humanity. because the two are very much not mortal and even in the what happens next ending its very ambiguous if they ever WILL be or Can be. but even still they have both felt what its like to be mortal

i feel like its vague if the entity the two used to be even percieved its own existence. the way the narrator talks about it makes it seem like the two only existed conceptually and as a result lacked a complete sense of identity, and didnt need to, and wouldnt want to. but in the same way a thought cannot be unthought, the narrator gave them a glimpse into what it felt like to be mortal and the two can never un-know it, even if it wasnt exactly the same

the long quiet in particular seems especially tied to humanity and in some aspects seems to want to BE human (which feels so potent given how decidedly Not human he is). the game tends to imply that every option you get is a thought he DOES have, and in the spaces between, the choices dont seem as influenced by a given voice, which highlights even more how much he feels conflicted on his own nature that he gets Multiple options to express discomfort with himself being a god

it just gets to me how one of the options during the fight is literally "appeal to your shared humanity". because even if the two are gods, their separation and reshaping has given them humanity that they can never un-feel. for how much the shifting mound grieves what she once was, she cannot will her humanity away. shes mourning what the two of them once was and is desperate to have it back at any cost, even though they can never be together how they once were.

even if the long quiet goes with her, theyre still apart and lack balance, because the two once just Were and werent two parts. they werent both halves, they werent two concepts, they were just one concept that happened to, by human eyes, consist of two halves. and the narrators insertion of humanity into the mix in order to separate them, separating them into concepts that humans understood, manually put into existence a struggle for equilibrium where that balance had simply Existed

but theyve already perceived what felt like reality and can never un-see it. they were separated and Need the other to feel whole and for reality to BE whole but the moment that either of them realized their own free will, the moment the two fully came to feel like people, they could never be together the same way once again

im struggling to come up with a metaphor that isnt silly but its like if you took a piece of fabric and cut it in two and made them both into shirts. youve added a piece of humanity into them and doing so cost its original form. to take them apart and try to put them back together would never get you the original, whole piece of fabric back, because theyve been completely changed by their own unique destruction and reconstruction

they were separated in a way that gave them humanity that they have such conflicting feelings on. both seem to have a deep love of humanity but vastly different ideas on what humanity needs to thrive, because its in their natures

in order to get one to kill the other the narrator let the long quiet interpret the both of them as mortal. and for a being of perception and an god thats being lied to, this became part of their limited view of the world, on top of all the other reasons that the two gained humanity. the long quiet couldnt be told what to do if he didnt have the ability to potentially act on the narrators desires, and the shifting mound could never die if the long quiet didnt believe her to be capable of death

the narrator gave the two humanity and the shifting mound is very reasonably distressed by this. because the two of them never asked for this but they cant undo it. it is her OWN subtle desire for things to be the same as they used to be, her own piece of that stagnation that also led to her experiencing humanity, that makes her so adamant during the fight. she misses the long quiet and wants to undo a change that cannot be undone in search of a constant state of being that was taken from her

and the long quiet felt so closely tied to mortality, both its existence and absence, that no matter what, he wants to aid humanity. but hes been lied to and denied autonomy to the point where he doesnt know what that entails. but he wants to be a part of it. he was given fake mortality and cant seem to figure out how he feels

the shifting mound is set in how she feels it best to aid in the existence of life. she is stagnant in her feelings because its all that feels right to her. the long quiet is ever-shifting in how he feels it best to aid in the existence of life. he is changing in his feelings because its all that feels right to him

getting to the heart of the shifting mound allows them a moment to discuss it as the closest they can get to mortals. the two care about their impact on life and what it means to be alive and what better way for the two of them to truly decide what they want to do about it, outside of the conflict thats been forced between them, than as the mortals they never were?

Whoops I’m alive.. Hi again tumblr

Ultrakill released me from its chokehold and now I’ve fallen directly into Slay The Princess. Enjoy my few favorite contributions to that that I’ve done so far. There will certainly be more.

One more stupid one under the cut:

[gegnabean]

My design for every single voices in Slay the Princess!

I wanted to just do a few of them but before I knew it I was doing everyone. I think I might redo a few of these or tweak them in the future (especially my man smitten), but it was really fun drawing all the bird men (and it was a challenge fitting them all on one page lmao)

I may do full body designs for a few of them as well like what their wings look like ect, but these are all hypothetical.

[idkwhatimdoingbutslay]

Not to engage in pointless discourse, but people saying that JayVik not being canon is censorship when CaitVi literally end off the show is so crazy to me because what even are you talking about lmao

[wintergrofyuri]

i talk a lot about voice yaoi. but lets talk a little bit about princess yuri shall we

burned/drowned grey. i like to call them browned butter. they rotate in my mind CONstantly im not going to lie. the quintessential princess yuri to me

spectre/damsel. alright im gonna be honest i have no explanation for this one. i just think they're neat. dont look at me ok.

witch/adversary. adversary teaches her actual self defense. doggirl/catgirl. ad throws her at their enemies like a catgirl shaped shuriken.

fury/wraith. me and my girlfriend saw you from across the bar and we really hate your vibe. we're going to kill you now.

tower/eye of the needle. can two shit brickhouses really fall in love. these overpowered women seek to find out.

nightmare/razor. just two scary bitches. nightmare would get such a huge kick out of razor's sword bones. they play tennis with the long quiet (they are the ball).

adversary/razor. two beautiful women beating the shit out of each other. what more could you ask for.

if you have any more please feel free to tell me i love women
