#sim: Long Quiet

Slaying Simming the Princess

I finished playing the pristine cut update for Slay the Princess a while ago and thought to myself: what if I made these guys in the sims? And so I did. I guess this is where they ended up after the "And? What happens next?" ending. XD

I started on The Long Quiet first. I'll admit that his CC is pretty scuffed, but this is the best I could find. It really should not be this hard to find animal parts (that actually work) for a sims game that's been out for this long, but that's just how it is. 😤 I kept seeing these big, beautiful wings taunting me from ts4 the whole time I was cc hunting... I also gave him a long, pointy nose to replicate his beak, and I think it looks alright. I may shorten it in the future, but he does canonically have a pretty monstrous-looking face, so maybe I should just let him be a little ugly. I also think his expression and slight overbite are also kind of cute. ^^ As for his traits, I realized that LQ is actually meant to be sort of a blank slate for the player to project onto, so I picked his traits off of how I personally played him. I also gave him the "Natural Cook" trait since he's already proficient with a knife. XD

Princess was much easier to find CC for, but her anime facial proportions posed some challenges of their own. Knowing from past experience that you can't make anime eyes really work in ts3's artstyle, I tried to go more semi-realistic. I'm not totally satisfied with how her face turned out, but I think she at least looks pretty by normal human standards. I may go cc hunting for a more accurate hairstyle in the future as well. I gave her the "Loves the outdoors" trait since I figured she would appreciate being outside more after being confined for so long. Also, you can't see it with her dress, but I made it so that she's usually barefoot. I mean... in the game, you never once see her wearing shoes, so I figured that she just doesn't have 'em. 🤷‍♀️

So... that's all I have to say about these two for now. I'm going to move them into Moonlight falls, and may consider moving them to Dragon Valley later (after they scope it out with the traveler mod). I plan to post about their first days doing life together sometime soon. ^^

Oh damn.

I only just realized.

The Specter's third chapter. The Moment of Clarity's nightmare. The stencil chalk drawings that Shifty shows us for every Vessel at the end of the game....

(spoilers below the cut)

They're all in the same style because they're all from the Princess's point of view.

I woke up this morning out of a dream I don't remember with nothing but the phrase

"You're meant to slay the princess, not MARRY her!"

stuck in my head.

Instant visuals of a cabin reconstructed as a church. Shifting mound and Long Quiet in wedding outfits. Narrator splutters indignantly. Smitten weeps in inconsolable joy. Every other voice stands about in the aural equivalent of having your mouth hanging open.

I mean, I don't know if I'm getting visions of The Pristine Cut, but I am amusing myself endlessly.

Someone compiled all of the voices in your head clips and put it in a playlist... that is SIX HOURS STRAIGHT OF VOICE ACTING. SIX ENTIRE HOURS WORTH OF ONE-LINER SENTENCES. THE SAME SCENES OVER AND OVER AND OVER. jonny sims is insanely skilled but how the hell is he sane

[eliasyourlocalcryptid]

avatar au jonmart but stp

okay so i’ve been binging tma and also playing a lot of slay the princess and i think so many voice lines from the voice of the cold( + the broken) that i think would match an avatar swap au.(with jon being the avatar of the lonely and martin being the avatar of the eye)

i’ve never really indulged in tma swap au’s but some of the lines from stp would fit so well for jmart angst/antics and i really wanna get around to drawing this sometime :DD

Settling in - Part 1

This is the first picture I took on their arrival, so you know we're off to a good start. XD

The pair moved into a little house that's *just* big enough for the two them. It's kind of a glorified motorhome, but it should suit their needs for now. At present, they plan to lead a simple life - at last until they figure out how this new world works.

Not particularly exciting, but one of the first things they did was watch the gardening channel together for a while. I find that I get some of my best photos when two sims are socializing while watching tv.

I kinda forget where Quiet was going in this picture (possibly to a culinary class), but I kinda wanted to how off how well his wings animate. They're directly attached to his shoulderblades, so they actually move with him whenever he does stuff.

As is (my) tradition, Quiet made a salad for the first dinner in the new house. His blade may not be pristine, but it got the job done. (btw the reason why I always have my new sims make salads is because it's the one dish they can't possibly burn).

The two enjoyed the meal together, though the Princess's dress proved a bit cumbersome...

I was curious to see what would happen when Quiet got in the shower, and was not dissapointed. ���

The two went to bed and then... Wait, THE HECK IS THAT DOOR?!

Why does it have windows??? Maybe the person who built this house copy-pasted the front door and forgot about it. (I also remember trying to grab it in build mode and it... actually kinda flew away while open for a second, and then went back to normal???)

Either way, Princess disapproves. I later replaced the door with a cheaper, non-windowed, non-haunted one.

I'm going to wrap up this post with a cute moment I caught. I have loads more pictures from my second play session, but I thought that would probably make for WAY too long of a post. So, I'm going to leave it here. Next time, Princess will discover a new hobby, and Quiet will get a new, very unusual job.

I know I’m hyper fixating on a new fandom when I start making polycules lol.

So basically after the The Magnus Archives finale, Jon and Martin get transported to the Construct and basically end up speed running most of the game awaking The Shifting Mound and The Long Quiet early and then four set off and travel together.

I also like to think they find a baby abandoned in the woods near a village with extra eyes, possibly marked by the Eye, like Jon and they all collectively decide to raise this baby together, who will fit in perfectly with their new not-so-human family.

(The purple mean crushes, pink means dating and blue means just friends.)

Jon’s crush on The Shifting Mound is one sided for now, while The Princess and Martin are mutual crushing on each other though of course only Jon knows that. The Long Quiet has a crush on Jon, and Jon also fancies The Long Quiet. The Long Quiet and The Shifting Mound are dating and Jon and Martin are dating. Martin and The Long Quiet are good friends :3

[justsalpals]

Jon and Martin are lost to tides of a million million different worlds in their way to Somewhere Else, so entrenched in the flow and the chaos and the fear and the quiet and the in-between that they nearly never find their footing again

Only to be saved by a pair of gods, The Shifting Mound and The Long Quiet, who lead them to solid ground

(maybe truly in their god forms, or maybe after leaving together they retained some ability as mortals similar to avatars.

the princess distrusts and despises these two immediately, but her little bird can't help but feel compassion for them. the shaky reflection of a corpse he'd only heard echoes of. it's hard not to feel kinship with a presence he's known since be first opened his eyes, who created and guided him through all the trials and tribulations, even when he knows this is another man entirely.

he wonders if the narrator was named Jon as well.)

These came to me in a burst of inspiration.

The Long Quiet's Vessel

Art inspired by @sage-writes-n-coins-mogai

What if after the events of MAG200, Somewhere Else turned out to be The Long Quiet

The Echo needed a vessel for the Long Quiet to use, and so they chose the Archvist

(Jon's design was inspired by the fact that I thought the scales on the Hero's arms looked like Eyes.)

uh, uh ,uhhyeah, school, umm have this sketch I made
