Since today is my birthday, I am going to force my followers to look at my fanart of my five favorite Princesses from Slay the Princess.

First I sketched them in pencil.

Then I decided that it wasn't good enough and I traced over them digitally so that I could color them (with my headcanons for what colors they would be if they existed in color.) Also I did change the poses of Happily Ever After and the Adversary a bit. It's a bit rough and not perfect because I'm not very used to digital art, but I tried my best.

Below the cut I'll explain why I picked these five specifically. (Slay the Princess spoilers below the cut.)

Obviously I have a lot of other favorite Princesses (Nightmare, the Den post-Pristine Cut, the Stranger, ect. ect.) but I needed to narrow it down to five so they'll all fit on the page, and I decided on these five for the following reasons:

The Wounded Wild: The route that made me the most emotional. The second time I got her was the only route that made me cry (specifically the second time, because that time I got her from directly attacking and fighting Witch, which I discovered is my favorite way to get to the Wild.) You have to hurt each other so much to get here, then you have the opportunity to just forgive everything and be one with her, but you choose not to and she becomes completely defenseless, her body falling apart. But then I always choose to save her and cut her free. I have never killed her, and I don't think I ever will.

The Spectre: My Princess blorbo <3. I like how much character development she can get depending on what you do with her. My favorite thing to do with her will always be helping her, but the way her entire personality changes if you refuse is extremely tasty to me. I enjoy her ripping my heart out and screaming about how this isn't who she wanted to be.

The Cage: She has my favorite design (the aesthetic of a chained-up headless body carrying her own head in a birdcage goes so hard.) Also her route is just extremely cool. Also if I had to pick a Princess who I relate to the most, I would pick her (psychoanalyze me to your heart's content.)

Happily Ever After: The most well-written route (in my opinion.) Just an objectively very good and meaningful route.

The Adversary: She was my very first Princess so I will always be biased. Also she's hot. Also I enjoy the extreme violence as a love language themes going on. I will ship Adversary/Voice of the Stubborn forever <3

the thought of how much the little mermaid play (and therefore, the story) matters to nene is so cute — how much it inspired her, how it sparked her dream, how happy little nene was to watch yuuka perform the lead role and wish to someday stand in her place, to also become the songstress that can reach people's hearts never fails to make me smile. her dream bloomed from pure ambitions coming right from her small heart and her excitement and little nene is just absolutely adorable, right? it's probably the best thing about her association with the little mermaid!

but do you ever think about how middle school nene must felt when she stood on the stage that very day her dreams seemed to completely fall apart, that very day when she messed up her performance? and how in between of her panic and anguish, she probably managed to have one coherent thought — "it's just like in the little mermaid. she had her voice taken away from her too"? and how in this very moment she really was just like the heroine from her favorite play — but in a way little nene would never ever wished for her future self to be? and how in that very moment she cursed herself from being associated with this story, how she desperately wished not to be this once?

well, if you haven't, then now you did! happy birthday nene 💚

Yeah, yeah, Eva was insanely self sabotaging and was ultimately a very selfish and egotistical person who couldn't see herself as anything more than a victim without agency that was shunned for no good reason even in situations where she was undeniably in the worst of wrongs and blamed everyone but herself for the actions that have left her alone but have you considered that's why I love her?

Do you have any tips for starting a kink blog?

Yeah! I have a few I can share! One size does not fit all but I've certainly learned some things that inform my approach.

Remember above all that it's supposed to be enjoyable. If you start a kink blog and it feels like a time sink or a chore, then it might not be for you, or you could be spending more time on it than you really should. This also means that the time and energy you have to dedicate to a kink blog is going to fluctuate. You might pop off one week and not log into it at all another, and that's okay. You should run it at the pace you enjoy. This also means when you feel a dip in sex drive and the kink stuff isn't hitting like it usually does, take a break so you don't burn yourself out.

Queue is your friend. As are tags. Honestly 1 post a day works wonders, cause you can load up around 15 posts at once and be covered for a couple of weeks. Having a solid and consistent tag system for yourself is also great. You don't need to overload it with specificity, but have some for different kinds of media (writing, video, gifs, audio...) is helpful, and being able to tag different facets of your kink is great for when you OR your followers need to scratch a specific itch. Like for me and my preg kink blog, whether the belly is bare or not, if there are lots of stretchmarks, if it's fpreg, mpreg, or nbpreg... all good things to keep sorted. Also try to keep the meaning of your tags really obvious (that sounds like a no-brainer, but I used to use a tag meant for when clothes were too small for a bump, but it just came off as me complaining that the belly was too small, which actually resulted in me need to talk to an artist to get a block lifted, oops!)

Related to the above, if you produce original content, be it art, writings, audio, whatever, have a tag for that too. Makes sifting through your original stuff and reblogs much easier, and lets people find your stuff even just searching tumblr wide.

LABEL. EVERYTHING. AS. MATURE. If you're running a kink blog, minors should not have any way to see it, and the easiest way to do that is to slap a "sexual themes" label on it. Covers your ass and keeps people who should not be able to look from looking. Even if the kink is pretty innocuous, it's best to play it safe.

Pinned posts are especially useful for kink blogs for setting boundaries, and telling newcomers what they'll see right off the bat. It doesn't need to be enormous, but just a little intro and a list of expected kinks someone will find on your blog helps keep people informed so they know whether or not to follow.

Don't be shy about blocking people. If someone posts stuff that makes you uncomfortable or is being shitty, just block em and move on. On the flipside, respect other people's boundaries, and remember that if you find yourself blocked by someone, remember it might not even be personal and just be a blog content thing.

If you do make kink content involving yourself, like pics or videos, protect your identity. Just play it safe, don't show your face and obscure identifying tattoos. Odds are low it'd come back to be a problem, but they're not 0, so just play it safe for yourself. Both for potential work/career hang ups and to minimize stalking or doxxing.

I'll reblog with more later if I think of it. I know half of this applies to blogs in general, not JUST kink blogs, but other than there being inherently sexual content, they're not that different. Please send any follow up asks if you have further questions, and if you decide to start one, good luck and have fun with it!

Remembering the toxic hellscape that was 2015-2019ish SU fandom and just how much hate the show got is really insane when you rewatch the show after it's been a while. Like the show is good what the hell were any of these people talking about

Okay but I do actually really like canon Tim. Fanon Tim tho? When he's been stripped of everything that makes him at all compelling and reduced to a whiny sad boy? He can kick rocks
