#skeptic slay the princess

[dismas-n-dismay]

How it feels seeing people hate/diss the Skeptic for being skeptical as if that isn’t his job and you are not at all obligated to listen to him

Ranting like hell under the cut 😭😭😭

No cause like. GIRL UR THE DECISION MAKER FUCK ARE YOU MAD FOR???

Like bro the game makes a very large point to say “You are in control, these are your choices” and seldom forces you to do anything unless it’s to specifically get a alternate vessel for Shifty. Literally how can you Actually hate any of the voices (outside of the narrator) for anything when they have 0 effect on the world around you

“He’s so skeptical and him being right a few times means he’s going to think he’s always right” In the Prisoner ending literally all of Skeptic’s assumptions abt the narrator and the world around us is right. The game is literally telling you to be more analytical about your choices and what information is being fed to you if you want a more satisfying ending because things are Quite Literally not as they seem By Design.

I genuinely can’t get why you would dislike Skeptic, and give me a break with the whole “he’s egotistical” thing brother

Slay the Princess in a Nutshell

[orcatnip]

I like to think the two of them lived their lives before witnessing the end of Narrator's world. Then they'd go back to their god selves and tell them about mortals.

Narrator was a misguided soul, but I believe his purpose had good intentions. It'd be nice if he still made a difference. Maybe the two gods decided to give mortals a bit of mercy after experiencing the true terror of death as actual mortals for the first time.

also, assorted sketches:

anyways, i oughta take a break. ive become addicted to slaying the princess...

The Heart and The Head

Had to pair them up together simply because of how similar yet different they are as characters

I’m not even sure if it’s possible to have a route with them together

(Small ramble underneath)

They’re both quite single-minded voices who would continue on with their pursuit of what they wanted—Smitten, a happy ending with the Princess, and Skeptic with his pursuit of the truth. They would probably be unstoppable considering both of their desires requires the Princess in some way, and would quite literally lose their minds if they weren’t able to get it

With whatever crumbs we’ve gotten of them during routes where all voices are there there, it feels like these two might be able to get along with each other quite well, considering Skeptic was one of the Voices that had comforted Smitten about losing the Princess during A New Dawn ending variation alongside Cheated.

Which makes me kind of surprised that I don’t see many art pieces of them interacting

Maybe it’s because they never interacted in canon? Hmmm

Some designs for the Voices! Since the Long Quiet is a bird man, here's a bunch of bird men

[vickozone]

🐦‍⬛🔪👑

very rough draft of all of The Voices. their designs will eventually change somewhat.

I’m allowed to draw them as humans, right?

[phantasmatoucan]

MY VOICE DESIGNS!

I WANTED TO GIVE THE DIFFERENT VOICES SOME DESIGNS FOR WHENEVER I DRAW THEM, IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO GET THEM ALL DOWN but i really care them all

MORE INFO UNDER CUT

WHEN I MADE EACH VOICE I HAD A DIFFERENT CONCEPT/BIRD IN MIND

HERO - KNIGHT/SPARROW [Literally the closest to look like a human knight since i had in mind that TLQ views him as something he wishes he was]

SMITTEN - PIGEON/BARD [The way he talks just makes me think of a bard and as for the pigeon part he reminds me of a Luzon bleeding heart which definetly goes with his heart motif]

SKEPTIC - OWL/INVESTOGATOR [I always pictured him as a detective holmes like owl whenever he went on his theories, the fact that hes kind of an asshole is a bonus]

COLD - VULTURE/REAPER [I associate him with death a lot so that went into his design, I know crows are more commonly associated with death but i wanted a more bigger predatory bird for his design since he doesn't mind killing if he needs to]

OPPORTUNIST - JAY/CONMAN [Hes specifically a Steller jay, I think the birdy just has his similar vibe of being tricky to deal with, as for the conman part is kind of obvious considering his personality lol]

HUNTED - HARE [I didn't have a specific bird in mind when making him, rather i usually pictured him as some type of rabbit like bird, more hare in this case, a prey animal but he can show his fangs when he needs to]

CHEATED - CROW/GAMBLER [Disheveled man in his 40s spending all his money in a casino and not winning for 13 hours type of gambler, hes the smallest of all the voices, the crow part is because i can only picture him as that one pic of a crow with a knife on its mouth]

BROKEN - PENGUIN/FOLLOWER [More of a religious followe, the penguin part is because of how i pictured him with 𓉸 this shape in my mind , he black and white of them also fits him a lot]

PARANOID - FANTAIL/MAGE [The scrawniest fantail pigeon in existance, if he didn't over preen himself his tail would be much bigger, the mage part is for his chanting by keeping us alive, i think the way i view him is more a heal caster]

STUBBORN - MACAW/BRUTE [The biggest of the bunch if he standed up straight, i thought of a macaw because of their strong toes and how much he repeats himself (not a bad thing i think its cute), the brute part is self-explanatory)

CONTRARIAN - HUMMINGBIRD/JESTER [I'm not inmune to contrarian jester propaganda, he fits the bill of the common media jester, the hummingbird part was suggested by Mod Toucan and I think it fits him so well since he can be a little shit /lovingly]

[tapestryundone]

hands these to you

[orcatnip]

Heart. Lungs. Liver. Nerves.

you know that thing that dogs do when they shake their whole head while holding a stuffy? thats how i feel about him #cuteness aggression

I love paranoid's banter with all the other voices 😸

Also, it's really interesting that he almost meets Smitten in HEA. I wonder what their dynamic would've been.

Finally finished an animation I've spent around 2 months on
