I met the Apotheosis today and she's my new favorite. Her and the Tower are my absolute confidence heroes, yes queen go the absolute fuck off

Day four of my stp drawing challenge!! Today we have the Wraith, the Apotheosis, and the Drowned Gray :33

I love the Wraith drawing, they’re so silly

IF YOU HAVE ANY PRINCESS REQUESTS, JUST PUT THEM IN MY ASK BOX!!!!

i'm so excited for the apotheosis chapter in the pristine cut. i'm looking forward to seeing how the apotheosis has changed from the tower, how we'll resolve our conflict (we might get a "boss battle" sequence like what we have in the current chapter, and from the art blacktabbygames posted there's going to be some kind of way we can get her to forgive us?)

also considering the meta aspects of the tower I'm really curious about if that'll carry over into the apotheosis more, and how she'll relate to the shifting mound

ALSO more of paranoid and broken's dynamic, and hero is so sassy in the current apotheosis chapter i love him dearly. i hope we see more of that side of hero

i just reblogged this, but realized i had smth to add

i think this is part of why i love apotheosis so much, even as it is half-baked. youve just come out of killing yourself due to lack of options, the tower has tormented you, taken control of the narrator, taken control of the narrative, and yet, you continue. you are going to witness the end of days, that's for certain. your voices tug at you back and forth, this narrator cuts the shit, and she wakes. you are given two choices. that is all. and of those two choices. one ofthem is to finally, easily, with one click, commit to the bit against the world ender herself.

um anyways i just think the progression is neat i always cry a lil when iplay it

I think the reason the Tower route always felt more linear than the others, to the point where it kind of grated on me, is that you don't really get any (Explore) options with her. I think you might get one point where you're allowed to stall, but besides that you have to respond to her as you go and don't get to meander. Even the Beast princess, who is actively trying to eat you, lets you chat a bit on your own terms between attempts.

And this is actually pretty cool and fitting with the chapter itself! Despite how powerful the Princess gets, the world is almost always running on your own terms. You get to decide what she becomes. You get to choose when to act, and when to ask a whole bunch of questions that don't progress anything. You're the one with the power, even if it doesn't always amount to a whole lot.

But the Tower takes that all away. She's the only Princess who can actually restrict your choices in real time—the Moment of Clarity takes away far more options, to be sure, but she has to wear you down to get to that point. The Tower just gets to decide right there that you aren't allowed to exercise all your free will. She's the one making decisions, now, or at least some of them. She's the one asking the questions this time. You gave her part of your agency, and she has no intention of handing it back.

“You’re supposed to slay the Princess” what if I color her in like a coloring page. Huh. What then

I did NOT feel like coloring Beast because the only picture I had of her was. Not good. Buuuuut I’m having fun so I may very well continue to color the Princesses

A few teeny notes:

My original plan for Witch and Thorn was to make Witch’s hair bright red and Thorn’s hair a bit browner, but I put in darker streaks for Witch’s hair and suddenly I had the idea to do something similar- but, of course, different- for Thorn. I really enjoy how that turned out, that and their dresses

Apotheosis is probably going to be the only instance where the Long Quiet isn’t black and white, because, yknow, radiant light and shit. I was aiming for a sort of water color-y vibe with her… not sure if I hit the mark but I like the result anyway!

I kind of knew I’d give Wild a bunch of warm, gentle pinks and browns, but I wanted to keep the exposed insides mostly untouched (although looking back, I could’ve also made the insides brown to match her arms). I think she turned out beautiful, my wonderful Princess with a disorder <3
