The day after a Slytherin party
Sirius: I mayyyy or may not have tried crack
Remus: …. Ok
Sirius (shaking): Last night. I don’t think I did. But if I did I liked it.
Remus (side-eyeing him): ……. Ok

what I find very interesting about the narrator's choice of reward - ie. an eternity of supposed bliss inside the cabin - is that while it seems on its surface just another instance of him projecting his desires onto you, it actually isn't. he himself probably thinks that he would desire an unchanging eternity like the one in the cabin, but...
when he is talking about his reasons for wanting to remove death from the world, his focus is almost entirely on connections to others. he talks about the greater good, having loved ones, wanting better for them. it's those connections that drive him to submit to death in the hope of defeating it. he is definitely selfish, but if he was totally selfish, he wouldn't have been able to do that. he believes his own death is a worthy sacrifice for the continued existence of his world. his vision of an ideal eternity, as he describes to you, is one where connections are endlessly and joyfully rediscovered.
in his ideal ending, you've killed off the only being you could ever meaningfully connect to. and this is one of the main reasons his plan dooms itself. who could bear the weight of an eternity alone? not him, certainly.
#narrates#slay the princess#found this one in drafts...#btw this is why i think of the time loop ending as actually the closest to the narrators vision! despite him clearly not liking it#an eternity of forgetting and rediscovering connections. a cycle of perpetual motion that always ends at the same place anyway#of course. its horribly painful. because that type of existence would have to be. but hes never been able to grasp that.#the pain is also what makes it meaningful! if he could grasp that though he would not be the narrator

I'm going to be asking a lot of artists I follow this question, but how did you develop your style? It SEEMS like most people find their style and stick with it forever, just making improvements and iterations. I tend to work in a lot of different styles because I enjoy doing that, though I know there are things I gravitate towards as well. But I wonder what your journey was and how you got feedback and improved while staying true to what you enjoyed?
Hi there!
I definitely wouldn't say that I've found my style and stuck with it forever-- I feel like each of my projects has asked for a certain kind of art, and has presented new challenges that push me in new directions.
Some of that comes from seeing someone else's work and having something click into place that might fix errors/faults in my own, and then I might try to incorporate that, such as bigger outlines on my characters to help distinguish them from the background, or maybe a way someone else simplifies eyes that can help make mine look less weird.
When I first started drawing, I can see where I encountered certain influences because my sketchbooks suddenly switch to incorporating some new stylistic element that I liked from whatever I was reading/watching at the time. But it was never QUITE right, it was never just copying, there was always something ~wrong~ with it. And that wrongness was my style! As much as I hated it, that was what distinguished my art from being just a copy of someone else's. I hate it less now, and understand that other people see something there that maybe I don't, because it's just what happens when I filter other people's work through my head. My soul, if you will.
There are definitely through-lines with my work, driven by what I like drawing and what comes easily to me-- hatching is almost always a major component, and I like making expressive characters. Here's some of my earliest available stuff, from my old webcomic:
Then not long after that, I started The Last Halloween, which pushed me to challenge myself in both layout and style:
And here's the same comic, years later:
And here's a series I did for kids, where I had to use full color and lay off on the hatching, as well as learn how to reconstruct animals that we have no photo references for, which is definitely a place where style comes majorly into play, whether I wanted it to or not:
Then there was the horror book I did, where I tried to push my work to be less cartoony overall, and to work very hard on improving my hatching:
Then I started work on Scarlet Hollow, where I incorporated a limited/muted palette and had to once again push myself to make less-cartoony art, as well as learn more consistency so I could draw sprite sets. This was a big challenge for me, and has helped me grow as an artist so much!
And most recently, I wrapped up work on Slay the Princess, which required that I go back in the cartoony direction, but in a very different way than I was used to. This took a lot of sketching to figure out, and there's still a decent amount of artistic stumbling in Chapter 1 while I settled into it.
She's drawing on anime/Disney influence, but each Princess required a bit of stylistic variability. Some are more anime, while some are more realistic than even the Scarlet Hollow characters.
So I wouldn't worry too much, honestly! A person's style is often something that reveals itself over the course of their career, rather than something they choose and then try to stick to forever.
Even if you don't think you have a style, you do. It might vary a lot piece by piece, especially if you're trying to closely imitate another person's art, but the more work you do, the more you'll figure out your own strengths and interests!
#long post#my art#junior scientist power hour#the last halloween#abby howard#scarlet hollow#slay the princess#once you work long enough on art#style starts to feel more like modes you switch in and out of#all based around a core of what you're good at and what you can do#which in itself will change sometimes!#and of course your style with different mediums is gonna be different too#like slay the princess is pencil which is why it looks more distinct from my other work#never forget that at its core art is about messin around#wait shoot i should've put all this in the post#but it's long enough as it is

Mina: "I screamed when live ammunition pierced through the glass. I suppose I am a coward. Makes sense they don't want my cowardliness around."
Also Mina, after reading that Jonathan screamed and ran when the vampires loomed over him: "He's so brave to have endured this despite how scary it was"
Mina: "I'm such a coward for screaming aloud over a measly little gunshot!"
Jonathan: "Then you think I'm a coward for screaming at the Weird Sisters?" 🥺
Mina: "No, never! How could anyone think so pitilessly of someone in fear for their life?"
Jonathan: :3
Mina: "...Damn it, you tricked me into improving my self-esteem again."
Jonathan: "And I'll do it again <3"
#the Harkers know they can pull receipts on themselves to counter each others' low self-esteem#because they mirror each other more than they contrast#Jonathan will start languishing about how this is ~all his fault~ for going to Castle Dracula/not magically knowing how to end Dracula#only for Mina to whip out the 'So it IS my fault Lucy died? And the Transylvanians' fault for never slaying Dracula in 400 years?' 🥺#Jonathan: 'Of course not! No one had the info or means to...'#Mina: :3#Jonathan: 'Curses.'#Mina: -adds another tally to her score card-#mina harker#jonathan harker#dracula#re: dracula#dracula daily

all possible voice combinations!
Okay, unless I am missing something, all the possible voices you can get together in each chapter...
(SPOILERS for the Pristine Cut under the cut!)
Adversary: Stubborn
Fury: Broken, Cold, or Contrarian
EOTN: Hunted or Skeptic
Beast: Hunted
Wild: Broken, Contrarian, Opportunist, or Stubborn
Den: Skeptic or Stubborn
Damsel: Smitten
Burned Grey: Cold
HEA: Opportunist or Paranoid
Nightmare: Paranoid
Wraith: Cold or Opportunist
MOC: EVERYONE
Prisoner: Skeptic
Drowned Grey: Cold
Cage: Broken, Cheated, or Paranoid
Razor: Cheated
Arms Race/MAD: Hunted + Broken, Paranoid, or Stubborn
No Way Out/Empty Cup: Contrarian + Broken or Paranoid
[Either Path: EVERYONE]
Spectre: Cold
Wraith: Cheated or Paranoid
PATD: Opportunist
Stranger: Contrarian
no path, no possibilities…
Tower: Broken
Fury: Stubborn
Apotheosis: Contrarian or Paranoid
Witch: Opportunist
Wild: Cheated, Paranoid, or Stubborn
Thorn: Cheated or Smitten
Not counting the EVERYONE chapter of MOC, the EVERYONE extended sequence of Razor (only the ones you can get at the very beginning of her Chapter IIIs)… or the potential short "extra voices" sequence in Fury��� the only impossible voice combos at this point are:
Broken/Cold
Broken/Opportunist
Broken/Smitten
Cheated/Smitten
Cold/Contrarian
Cold/Hunted
Contrarian/Opportunist
Contrarian/Skeptic
Contrarian/Smitten
Hunted/Smitten
Opportunist/Skeptic
Paranoid/Stubborn
Skeptic/Smitten
Smitten/Stubborn
And just to list the data in one extra way (because I liked doing this):
The only other voices you can't get with…
Broken: Cold, Opportunist, Smitten Cheated: Smitten Cold: Broken, Contrarian, Hunted Contrarian: Cold, Opportunist, Skeptic, Smitten Hunted: Cold, Smitten Opportunist: Broken, Contrarian, Skeptic Paranoid: Stubborn Skeptic: Contrarian, Opportunist, Smitten Smitten: Broken, Cheated, Contrarian, Hunted, Skeptic, Stubborn Stubborn: Paranoid, Smitten
Which also means that Smitten has by far the least voice combos, still lacking routes with 6 other voices, while Cheated and Paranoid are tied for the most voice combos, each only having 1 other voice they don't have a route with!
ETA: I MISUNDERSTOOD SOME CONVERSATIONS I WAS SEEING. You cannot, in fact, get Smitten in Fury. He can show up in a short sequence along with Cheated, Cold, and Hunted, though, but I'm not counting that. Major apologies for the temporary misinformation. The rest I am 100% sure of, though.

New AU alert.
Thinking about farms and cowboys.
Also some Hunter doodles just because.
You can still call him whatever you’d like. (Hunter or Tremor/Trevor, honestly I like both and can’t decide lmfao).
also I can’t draw horses.

I love it#it’s my way to cope with my dreams I will probably never get to accomplish. Always dreamt of having a farm#also I know the movie Pearl is in the 1900s and the Wild West was like 1800s but I do not give a shittttttttt#yes definitely. this is why I asked how Big Man would carry one of those bags I forgot the stupid name of

slay the princess pristine cut spoilers etc
i was brainstorming with buddies on discord and started thinking about damsel ch3 having the blade with her, already pointed at her heart, then just started thinking about the blade as a tool.
i think about the blade so much. a cold reminder of your mission in this world, something so tiny that represents a huge wall between you, your ability to be willing to understand others, to understand yourself.
if you bring it with you you've chosen to take a defensive stance against something and someone you don't understand, but it's so comforting, it gives you options, it gives you control over any situation given you don't underestimate the person standing in front of you. even when you don't want it, when you think you don't need it, it will come back to you. a nagging feeling. you're given the option to be distrustful even when you don't literally have it in you, it's what you've been taught is safety, it hangs over your head and dangles above your heart at all times.
and in damsel ch3 it goes from a tool given weight by the role you're supposed to play, to the same thing but looming over her this time. the expectations of what you're supposed to want and what's best for the people around you and what keeps you grounded, the narrator sang the same tune before, and he hurt her and he hurt you. he hurt himself and his humanity in the process. and now he's taken the backseat and is forced to see how messed up that is by having the smitten be the one pulling the strings of the construct, someone with a perspective so different, but one that ends up hurting everyone all the same, even if he doesn't intend it to do so.
everyone is forced to look at themselves in the mirror.
carrying that blade is suffocating for anyone.
and now im thinking about mr. "let's throw it out the window" contrarian, the only voice you can bring to her heart along with the hero, someone that refused to engage with the narrative and someone that is well aware that his perspective is annoying and unneeded for its purposes.
and then he meets the whole of her, and she tells him about how his courage is beautiful. he's the part of the long quiet that knowingly or not, is more willing to throw aside any kind of logic in order to understand a situation in a way the rest don't want to, and he's *now* realizing that his existence is an important aspect to have.
#this is mostly copy pasted from my conversation with some new additions after having coffee and brainstorming some more lol#this isn't the only time the game has portrayed the blade as a sign of trust of course#thorn is all about that#but i wanted to talk about how this perspective hurts literally everyone in happily ever after#i could say a lot more about this but i think i got the point across!#one issue i had with HEA that was brought into my attention is the surprising lack of distrustful options you're given#i feel like a lot was sacrificed in order to clearly present the themes the route wanted to convey#which im fine with! the route is fantastic#but having those would've been nice imo#paranoid is literally there#feel free to fight me about it i would love to hear different perspectives in the notes#anyway too many tags wrap it up chop chop#slay the princess#slay the princess the pristine cut#melly.txt
