#even after their ascension they speak in plurals about themselves; “we're the house now” etc.

forever thinking about how the long quiet embracing their full divinity involves The Voices coming back. like yeah being plural is basically the same thing as being a godi'll cosign that
#in all seriousness though#its fascinates me that the Shifting Mound's ascension was her folding all the Vessels back into herself#she refers to the things that happened in their routes as having happened to her#and uses the singular first person at all times#whereas the Quiet and the Voices all maintain separate agency and perspectives#even after their ascension they speak in plurals about themselves; “we're the house now” etc.#they recognize their actions as collective “why did *we* throw the knife out the window” etc.#but still trace them to separate origins “it was his idea”#i know i read EVERYTHING as plural but i cant help but take a plural lens on this#in which case its fascianting that the Shifting Mound's ascension is facilitated by integration#while the Long Quiet's is in some senses a fragmentation#and viewing the Shifting Mound's awakening as integration adds some fascinating wrinkles#like the Adversary and the Eye of the Needle explicitly RESISTING it#woops i wrote all the serious analysis in the tags again#the long quiet#the shifting mound#stp voices#slay the princess#stp spoilers#slay the princess spoilers
