-Voices-

A collection of portraits depicting the voices from Slay the Princess, taking inspiration from the style of the video game Disco Elysium! The Voice of the Hero, a knight, an iconic silhouette against a luminant halo. A color palette of black, blue, and teal.

The Voice of the Hunted, a beast trying to protect its heart from danger, represented here as a crosshair.

The Voice of the Smitten, the knife wound letting loose lovely streams of swirling bodily juices into the air.

The Voice of the Cold, dark, and angular. Something completely unafraid to kill.

The Voice of the Skeptic, attempting to fly, tearing himself away from chains and what looks like his own body.

The Voice of the Paranoid, Frantic and multi-eyed, clutching at a wound.

The Voice of the Contrarian, flying in stark contrast to the others, glowing instead of secluded, a mischievous fairy or will o' the wisp, instead of a grotesque figure.

The Voice of the Broken, shattered and leaking. A humanoid figure is no longer recognizable.

The Voice of the Stubborn, Fiery eyes, and big meaty claws. The brushwork is chaotic.

The Voice of the Cheated, smoke leaking from puncture wounds still embedded within him. He's holding a cigar, too; probably where all the smoke is coming from.

The Voice of the Opportunist, carrying multiple masks on his person, and wielding a poorly concealed knife.

And finally (for now) The Long Quiet itself, the night sky, swirling sigils blurred in the dark.

I love this, I love him, Omg this version of Eclipse is spectacular. Dear gods and I love the personality thus far. Holy cow great job on this. I have to share.

Meet Paradox (aka Dox)!!

Paradox is an Eclipse variant, the only one who exists in his AU, and was made to run the Superstar Daycare! Playing and taking care of the kids daily is his most beloved thing to do, and he enjoys it thoroughly!

However, when it comes to adults, he doesn't take too kindly to them due to past experiences. Nicer adults receive the more arrogant, full-of-himself, snarky side of his personality, while those that are rude or call him names are given day-ruining levels of tricks and pranks.

(The Y/N in his AU was hired to be a Daycare Assistant and Handler due to his issues with adults and causing way too many complaints. So their job is a bit of a last ditch effort on the company's part lest they bite the bullet and decommission him for good for all the issues he's been causing more and more over time.)

Each day Paradox is filled with joy entertaining the kids and each night is filled with emptiness and just another reason to hate adults as he patrols the Pizzaplex as night-time security.

Deep underneath all of that hatred, there is his 'true' side. The soft, kind, sweet, playful, loving side that only the kids get to see. The one he'd much prefer to treat adults with if they weren't showing him time and time again why he can't.

If you're an adult trying to get close, treat him kindly, get past his near-constant degrading (you're gonna get called pathetic at one point or another), and show genuine love and care towards the kids he cherishes dearly and with time he may just lower his walls and show that side of him he'd much rather be.

(Alt 'security' ver. under the cut!)

(Security Mode his eyes turn black with yellow pupils and he becomes more "unhinged" and "animalistic".)

I genuinely don’t understand how ppl can appreciate characters normally cause this is what usually happens with me:

THEYRE SO SILLY- *explodes*

Capital loss. Love was the law and religion was taught. I'm not bought. Feel when we argue, our skin starts to rot. Our skin starts to rot.

Time for the debate of the century: what music does Kaz Brekker listen to?

Calahan Skogman’s accent as Matthias is so good that if I can’t have him in the Six of Crows spinoff, I at least need a full-cast audiobook to hear him say things like “I. SHOULD. LET. YOU. DIE.”

Something I’ve noticed for awhile is that I often get comments from people about how they are surprised how I always come up with theories and try to guess what might happen and they “could never do that” themselves. I want to say: yes you can! There’s honestly a shortage of Nevermoor theories and ideas and speculation and etc and I want to see MORE!!!

Want to talk about how Morrigan’s mom is actually secretly alive? How the Scholar Mistresses are a Wundrous Act? Do you think the Tempus Divinity looks like an owl, or do you think Weaving and Ruination would be met together? Or have you ever thought about how this one line, from Chapter 19 of Nevermoor, about Betram Crow actually means he was a Cursed Child? Whatever it is you want to talk about: GO FOR IT!!!

I personally find it very fun to go sort of “English class mode” and look at the text in front of me and think about what different things might mean and analyze it and even overthink it to an unnecessary (but fun!) amount. But that’s just me and how I like to approach things! You don’t need to make long posts and quote specific lines if that isn’t your style. The big thing to remember is that so much can happen in the next six books, so throw any idea out there! You never know what twists and turns will be thrown at us. I think it’s fun to share these ideas and discuss with other people— sure, maybe there’s just something you missed when reading, but perhaps some new ideas spawn might from it. Some speculation could even serve as inspiration for fics!

There are some theories and thoughts that I’ve posted that have been “debunked” when I reread a book, or when someone pointed out something, or even just when something had a real-world basis that I as an American didn’t catch. But it was still fun to think about it all, and there’s some bits and pieces that I see as notable and worth considering. I think most of the Silverborn Masterpost is going to be “wrong”, but if just 1% of it is “correct”, even indirectly, I will take that as a win. I know it feels like during the hiatus everyone’s talked about everything, but I hope that the incoming communal reread (fingers crossed) and obviously Silverborn brings some speculation back to the fandom because I want to discusssssss!

Hello DBDA fandom! :D I am so sorry if this poll has already been made before by someone else, but this was a curious question that came to my mind when seeing good support for all three ships across the fandom. Since Edwin has had the most love interests on screen, I'm curious to see who everyone ships with him the most!
