Did you play the pristine cut of STP? What do you think of Dragon, Cage and HappilyEverAfter if so?
Spoilers for STP pristine cut under read more (+ a lot of text warning)
Hehe I see STP ppl are excited and want more silly comics
Well there’s a lot of things to say tbh 👀
Overall really enjoyed new content so far
It kinda feels like a fanservice for the people who already played the game
Which is not a bad thing, don’t get me wrong ☝️
I just view the original game as a perfect instalment, which doesn’t really need a continuation
New scenarios is just a pleasant bonus
(I’m one shot/short story fan okay 👉👈)
I already saw Dragon and Happily After routes
Yet to see all the variations the Cage route has to offer (heard ppl said it’s the most diverse one)
The Princess and The Dragon
HEY REMEMBER HOW I SAID I DON’T LIKE THE IDEA OF CHANGING THE GENDERS OF THE CHARACTERS BC THAT WAY THE DYNAMIC WOULD BE UNSETTLING?
YEA SO THIS ROUTE EXPLORED THAT DYNAMIC GUYS
I enjoyed this route, bc again
It’s scary, uncomfortable, makes you feel unsafe and uneasy 👁️👁️
Awesome depiction of how scary this type of situation would be
And of course bonus points, we got to see the bird bois 🎉
(Opportunist go brush yo teeth, u spooky lookin ass)
Happily ever after
Ok
Noooow we’re talking
I love that route, it’s my favourite so far
The pain, the suffering, the absolutely devastated British crowman
Brilliant, chills
This one actually feels like a missing part of the og game to me
I wanted to go into details about my opinions on that route in the future post
But now I want to talk 😈
👏Smitten👏my boy👏how are you in your edgy villain era already omg
Can we just admit for a second how badass Smitten is for escaping protagonist’s body?
Like-💥
This was the first route I saw and was like “Ooooh that’s probably the new gimmick, every voice is doing to escape and shenanigans happen” AND NO Smitten is just that guy™️ absolute chad
Minus points for “we will give her something she doesn’t know she wants yet”
*hits Smitten with newspaper*
Bad voice 💥🗞️bad 💥🗞️ we listen to what 💥🗞️our queen 💥🗞️wants 🗞️💥🗞️💥💥
But it works okay
The atmosphere is immaculate, I was legit concerned for a moment
Ok now give me a moment to be a nerd ☝️🤓
I love how this route gives Smitten flaws
I think finally we saw that every voice has them, because voices are an isolated part of a person, a pure feeling if you will
And Smitten represents that naïve love idealisation/love obsession
The guy loves the princess, she is pure perfection to him
This feeling is blinding and honestly pretty toxic irl
During the whole og game Smitten was never conflicting?
He pretty much the comedic relief of the whole game (and least it felt like that to me)
I think he was kinda a missed potential
Yes, love is sweet
Crushes are can be funny, silly and overall just positive
But it can be so destructive, so painful and so so exhausting when it gets to the point of obsession
And that route gives you a direct illustration of it
Which is amazing
I honestly think we don’t have enough media just showcasing this feeling of obsessive love and how dangerous it is
(yandere trope doesn’t count 👿 this trope just kinda glorified the issue)
And the tragedy is SMITTEN IS TOO DELUSIONAL TO EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT HE’S DOING WRONG
My poor poor birb boy
He’s too focused on doing everything perfectly, to make princess satisfied, to make us satisfied, why isn’t it working? He does everything he can, why doesn’t it work? How doesn’t it work?
HE’S TOO LOVESTRUCK TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND REFLECT
AAAAAAAAA
God I’m insane about Happily ever after
As a person who struggles with this exact feeling of idolising and obsessing over ppl, I just really feel that route
Goth Smitten incoming *coughs*
Thanks for your question ❤️ hope you enjoyed reading my mess of thoughts💥

// MASSIVE SLAY THE PRINCESS, PRISTINE CUT SPOILERS //
So, I had some thoughts on what Damsel CH3 represented to me. All of these are quotes taken from the Discord server.
Take some of my wording with a pinch of salt, due to some quotes having to be frankensteined together to make it cohesive:
"After watching it, I think it’s a unintentionally toxic and abusive relationship in a lot of senses.
I mean, both you and her are gods that are practically broken beyond repair. You don’t have a semblance of normalcy even in your state of unawakening. You never will. Of course they wouldn’t ever fully grasp the concept of love, especially in a construct so unforgiving.
Smitten DOES seem to have some of his own motive, but generally speaking, he does it for all of you, cause he seems to give up after realising it really isn’t a "happy ever after".
In my opinion, he realises the damage that’s been done, and leaves after the last torch goes out, because he knows he can’t fix it, and that you can. I know you can’t really be "fixed" after you’ve been abused. But you can try to put together what went wrong and grow from it.
A lot of people I love have been abused. I’ve been abused. Sometimes semblances of that past seep into our relationships and it can be hard to try and heal from the pain of unintentional hand-offs in interactions. That’s what it personally resembled for me. Co-dependent people trying desperately to be normal, to heal, and realising it’s impossible to go back to normal, and that you’ll never fully heal."
Either way, damn, what a really good route. I am super impressed with how BTG handled it.

Don't mind me spewing forth my love of the new Pristine Cut update
Spoilers under the cut (Damsel 3, Spectre 3, update Fury, and Prisoner 3)
Happily Ever After! Just chefs kiss dancing under the stars with her was so beautiful, I admit I teared up a bit, girlie deserves all the best
The Princess and the Dragon! Oh my god sharing her body and watching as your own comes down the stairs, controlled by Opportunist! Witnessing what it looks like from the Princess' POV when the Voices are arguing amongst themselves! Then choosing to set her free, leaving the cabin and lying under the stars together... Oh and also! She did the thing! She threw the knife out the window! Contrarian would be so proud!
Updated Fury! Gosh there's so much more to it now! Contrarian is a gd enabler encouraging Stubborn to leave the knife behind and ended up making the whole thing even more absurd
But my absolute favourite has to be the Cage. Prisoner has been my favourite route since the beginning - it was also the first route I ever got when I first played. Leaving her head behind was hard but boy was it worth it.
I went with Paranoid, and him and Skeptic made me keep the knife when I really wanted to throw it into the void. Didn't try to cut myself out and got decapitated for it. The speech Cage gives tho, it hurt my heart. And the two of you watching from the sidelines as your bodies, without their respective heads, fight each other.
It's a cycle, as she says. But it's beautiful, in a dangerous, macabre way. A dance. Idk I just found the whole thing incredibly romantic (like how letting Prisoner decapitate herself, then carrying her head out of the cabin in Chapter 2 was romantic (and metal AF god Prisoner is so fucking cool))

I made some quick doodles of the rest of the voices! Just wanted an excuse to draw Opportunist again… and I added Smitten, based on his shadow and his smile from the Happily Ever After route.

Slay the Princess Spoilers
Slay the Princess is beautifully written, I think everyone—even people who have only see the game via screenshots—knows this. So, it's only natural that I see the lines everyone has silently agreed to be the most impactful floating around everywhere. However, one I have never seen mentioned yet, and my personal favorite line, is the one you get at the tail end of the forsaken Oblivion Ending.
"You have made a decision. It is the wrong one. I love you."
I know the Oblivion Ending is probably everyone's least favorite ending, but I think this line alone has made it my second favorite. It's so simple, especially when compared to the other lines in the game, but I love how it perfectly encapsulates Slay the Princess to me.
Two entities made to oppose each other, put in a cruel scenario where their ideals are tested, and their feelings for each other are stressed. Conflict is a natural part of relationships, and in some cases, it's even good! They're not going to agree on everything, or like everything the other does, but the Shifting Mound and the Long Quiet will always love each other, even when one has doomed the other for all eternity. There is forgiveness, and there is fondness.

i love how Voice of the Skeptic repeatedly REJECTS the idea that the world reacts to their perception, while Voice of the Paranoid figures it out in multiple routes. its just. the one who wants so badly to understand never will, and the one who doesn't want to see the core of things always does. its fascinating

ok so cataloging our stp adventure so far for our mutuals who like stp
so prefacing with we're not playing, someone else is playing for us and we're just giving input on what to do since we dont own the game and they do
the order we have done things in is
tower -> apotheosis
spectre -> princess and the dragon
damsel (didn't kill her, but the route did end there w no chap 3)
and we just started stranger, had to pause after entering the cabin
so we dont know if this is an interesting combo or what
haven't finished the game yet (obviously)
do any of our slay the princess mutuals have any comments about how we've done this
