Thinking about how the Tower & the Adversary routes are connected through the Fury, and how you kind of get there by turning one into the other, and how horrified they are by what they become. Tower is about subjugation - she outright says she does not believe the two of you are on equal footing. You get the Fury from her when you assert your independence and fight back, forcing her to take you seriously as a threat and defend herself. Adversary is all about an equal fight - she prides herself on her strength, but also admires yours. You access the Fury through her by refusing to fight, watching her beat you to a pulp and become disgusted by what she does to you. IDK it is interesting how the Tower & Adversary parallel one another, and how you end up with the Fury in each route by doing what their sister route would have wanted you to do.

#i have no idea if the last sentence makes sense here lol #slay the princess #stp #the adversary #the tower #the fury #ive just been thinking about these guys a lot #in part just bc fury is a fascinating route to me (im very glad she's getting expanded upon)#& while tower's probably my least favorite route i still think about her a lot. i have a lot of thoughts about tower #but also 'sacrifice the yourself' has me thinking about how the princesses might feel about each other #& while i kinda concluded tower would dismiss all of the other vessels as 'insults' to her existence #i kind of started thinking about how much adversary (who loves an equal fight) would HATE playing the tower route lmao #idk it's a shame these guys get less attention compared to the 'nicer' princesses bc the ways they connect are really interesting #honestly im also curious about apotheosis bc id like to see her turn around how some ppl feel about tower #actually final addition to these long tags -#i think part of the tower hate comes from how frustrating it can be to play #(my first time through i was struggling to figure out what to do bc of the options being taken away)#and partially bc broken is a lot of ppl's least favorite voice #but *I* didn't mind broken. he got a few laughs out of me #my least favorite voice is cold
