The Damsel in Distress trope is fine as long as the damsel in question has her own goals, personality and story outside of her rescuer. You don’t “fix” the trope by just making the damsel strong in a masculine sense, or making her rescuer the “real villain”, or making her “save herself” (which is low key victim blaming) then call it a day, female characters can be strong without being physically strong.

#yes this is about Andromeda#an example of this trope done right is Peeta Mellark ironically#who’s called a ‘Knight in distress’#he’s rescued by Katniss but not bc he’s weak but bc he’s way out of his element#he’s not a survivalist like Katniss and he’s not at fault for that#greek mythology#fairytales#damsel in distress#tropes#writing tropes#fantasy tropes#writing advice#andromeda#Snow White#sleeping beauty

Here you go fellow gays enjoy some tranquil scenery with the favorite fruity robot ever. Spend a late night chatting with him on a balcony as the laughter rings out in the air. Can’t quite get any better then this
#uhhhh yea sorry about the lack of talking here—I know it’s not every day I’m left with zero thoughts to elaborate on#but it’s 11:46pm and the right side of my head loves to make me suffer#like I can’t think straight despite being sober. Either it’s sleep deprivation once again or simply a developing migraine#no clue!! and I’m not going to stay awake a second longer to figure that one out!! 🙃#anyways yea kinda lean to the headcannon of Puzzle’s being bisexual#he’s talked about being a ‘damsel magnet’ or whatever and that could read as him being into the feminine qualities#however he’s clearly not conventional in that heteronormativity#he’s just too fruity to ever be contained. you couldn’t slap the strait label on him even if ya tried#it’ll just peel right off like those cheap banana stickers#which can only mean one thing—that man’s gay AND European!!#cue the rest of the musical number#….help I’m going to black out genuinely#I can’t even feel my hands at this point uhhhh#hplonesome art#smg4 mr. puzzles#mr. puzzles smg4

This... this is probably an absolutely insane idea, but...
*small sigh, head in hands, mumbling under my breath*
A Slay the Princess "Barbie: Princess & the Pauper" AU where Damsel is Annalise, Prisoner is Erika, and... god help me, but you know that Opportunist would be the perfect Preminger
#this is ridiculous but i'm slightly obsessed#you could have sleeping briars/princess and the frog with damsel being in love with the prickly palace gardener!#skeptic as the visiting prince who's SO not on board with the arranged marriage and having to deal with smitten's buckwild advice!#happily ever after as the queen who's been through a lot of heartbreak but is still persevering for the sake of her kingdom!#hell even the theming works because damsel as a princess is loved and treasured yet still trapped by her station!#and prisoner would be stuck in the inescapable hell that is inherited debt!#and oppy could live out their fucking DREAMS as a campy scheming advisor!#i need validation please tell me that this isn't stupid#slay the princess#stp the damsel#stp the prisoner#voice of the opportunist#slay the princess au

I have an urge to draw comics based on Blood on the Clocktower games (as if these were events happening in an actual village), but I fear they’d read as nonsense to everyone but me 😫
#i saw two games close to each other where the good team was about to win with the demon on the block#but marionette minion correctly guessed the damsel and it was so cool#in my mind the damsel wining condition would visually translate to something like in sleeping beauty#ehere the entire place gets cursed and asleep

cant believe i managed to put together a character inspiration graph. some are stronger than others, but it's fun to be able to put one together for once :') Anyway, inspiration board for aurora
Characters: -Snow Maiden (from the fairytale of the same name) -Odette (from the ballet Swan Lake) -The Unicorn/Amalthea (from The Last Unicorn) -Ninian (from Fire Emblem Blazing Blade) -The Princess (from Slay the Princess) -Sleeping Beauty/Rosamund du Prix (the fairytale of the same name/Dimension 20 Neverafter)
#aurora (oc)#snow maiden is the most obvious bc she literally is what auroras race is named after.#but to be specific. the ignorance. innocence. and inability to understand the world around her for her very nature and that the world#punishes her for that at times. as well as not being able to win over the first person she had feelings for i suppose lol#odette has always been a big inspo for me#bc of the curse shes under and the body transformations she undergoes unwillingly#amalthea is newer bc i didnt know about her to start but when i did learn of her i was like 'oh! points'#ninian is a soft spoken ice coded character (shes an ice dragon so lol) who is hunted by the big bad. she also gets amnesia#bc of the big bads actions similar to aurora#ninian was tied with deirdre from fe4 but ninian fit a bit better so she won out#still disappointed i couldnt find better offical art of ninian. she deserves prettier art than just moe blob shes been given#the princess is more nebulous. i cant pinpoint why exactly but i always think of aurora when i think of her. the thorn and the damsel#specifically a lot of time#meanwhile sleeping beauty on her own is someone cursed and loses So many years to the whims of another#for a slight she didn't even commit but instead her parent (s)#originally i just had sleeping beauty but i felt that rosumand is not only recognizable but also her#deconstruction of the fairytale fits into the fact aurora is a fairytale character who is Not happy about the consequences of it#anyway. gestures

Usopp's in the middle of chatting about something when he suddenly gets lightheaded and wobbles. He assures his worried crewmates that he's probably just tired from night watch or something, so he's gonna go sleep-
except he doesn't have time to say much else because in the next moment, he passes out completely. The others are alarmed of course, and Sanji, who was closest, tries to catch Usopp, but he's caught by a mysterious figure instead.
The mysterious figure takes care to handle Usopp gently and the others are taking their stances and telling this unknown to let go of him, but the person ignores them and, eventually, kidnaps Usopp off the ship.
The mysterious figure is someone who sacrifices people with strong (or strong enough) connections to spirits (even one spirit is enough) for power or eternal life or something. They noticed Usopp on Sunny sailing close by their island and went "yoink, mine now". The crew learns this when they ask the island's villagers.
The person never says what fruit they use, but Robin assumed & shared that it was probably the 'mist mist fruit'.
Sanji gets it in his head somehow that Usopp can only be awakened by True Love's Kiss. Zoro thinks he's fucking stupid. They fight about it.
Luffy beats up the mist person, they grab Usopp and get back to the ship.
Usopp isn't in a magical sleep, the mist person just used their mist to make him breathe in some sleeping gas without knowing. He'll be up in a few hours and be just fine according to Chopper. Sanji still kisses Usopp lots while he's asleep, so that maybe Usopp would wake up at the same time as one of his kisses & Sanji could say the 186th kiss was the charm (also because he wanted to kiss Usopp).
#one piece#sanuso#usopp#sanji#nemotime#miiiiight write this one out one day#crack beauty and the beast fic type deal#i. AM. attempting a more serious fic like this with Sanji as the damsel instead but its slow going rn#i do enjoy writing sanji as a ridiculous romantic though <3#edit: I MEANT CRACK SLEEPING BEAUTY AAAAA

less emphasis on knight-in-shining-armour jayce more emphasis on bloodied guard hound jayce. he doesnt protect viktor because hes noble or a Devoted Caretaker he does it because hes incapable of experiencing relationships in a normal way ever
#sleeping with mel one (1) time and then immediately confiding in her when viktors in the hospital.#waiting in the rain outside caits house for a chance to talk to her even though hes CLEARLY not welcome#guy who has normal attachments and is totally not worried theyre going to leave him at any given moment#aside from the obvious ableism of always making viktor the damsel in distress#rather than looking at their dynamic as it is (fucking bonkers about everything ever)
