#slay the princess happy

Sometimes, I just doodle ideas on a canvas and they become more than just doodles and I get the urge to "complete" them.

Change is a two-way street.

(Is my favoritism towards the Damsel obvious enough, or?)

note: TLQ [aka my sona Bloombird] is a butch sapphic and this is yuri

[eggnoodles0up]

OK, but did you know that even those hilarious ads in A date with Death are based on other visual novels? It just makes them twice as cool! | edit: By the time I decided to post this -it was in my drafts since january-, they've already add links to the ads, but whatever. still, if you don't want to wait in game, here's all of them in one place | Slay the princess

The Ocean at Night

Moonflower

Heart Agency

The Inn Between

Dreambound

The Divine Speaker

The Sun and the Moon

The last rose

Please be happy

When I saw Happy, I saw the resemblance of her and Abby's sketch of a hypothetical "Queen" version of Princess. I think this got used for her design with minor changes. I dunno if that means anything more than just a "what-if" sketch making it into the final game, just still as Princess.

Waowao my favorite princesses got even better

i REALLY didn't want to interact with the fandom yet bc I wanna play Pristine Cut 100% spoiler free but I got the Happily Ever After chapter 3 and I'm going insane over it.

It's just. The amount of parallels between Echo and Smitten on that route as well as the depth that it adds to both of them are driving me NUTS

So first of all, can we all agree that they basically did the same thing? Even though they have previously only opposed each other, they ended up doing the exact same thing for pretty much the same reason.

Echo created the construct to keep the universe from facing oblivion/save it (In his eyes). Smitten created his own construct (Bc that's literally what that cabin was!! A construct!!!) to keep the Princess safe and happy (In his eyes).

They both sacrificed themselves to create the construct, leaving behind only a nearly powerless echo of who they once were. This echo is really only capable of achieving their goals in a very limited way (The Narrator by moving stuff in his favor through perception, Smitten by keeping both you and the Princess seated as well as bring her what he thinks would please her).

They both try to force their beliefs of what would be better for everyone else unto them without even considering if that's what they really want. (Narrator through the "good ending" and Smitten through his "happy ending").

It's just. The way they keep telling the person that they are happy even though they obviously aren't!!!

Going back to those names as well. They are definitely meant to be parallels. "Good ending"? "Happy ending"? They are pretty much synonyms.

Also, the way the sacrifice is done. We don't know much about Echo but the scene with Smitten right before the epilogue starts I think gives us a lot of insight of how it might've worked:

Smitten ripped himself out of TLQ's body and poured out into the outside world, forcing his will over the Princess and probably aldo channeling her power to get what he wanted. I think that gives us a good idea of what Echo could've done. Both Damsel and the Sleeping Mound are malleable.

And uh, end of rant.

I have no idea if any of that is coherent, I'm pouring out words as they come out.

I love this game with all my heart, I can't wait to continue playing it and discover more routes.

love these two freaks 🖤

Beating the "Slay the Princess is not a horror game" allegations.

Not beating the "Slay the Princess is pretentious" allegations.
