Threw this together bc this post is real

Usually Coldrarian/Dark Comedy is like. An ok pairing to me. I see the vision. And it’s ok. But then you add Skeptic into the mix and turn it into a poly relationship. Suddenly everything becomes a lot funnier and even more interesting to me.

Like. You have these two guys, Cold and Connie, not taking anything seriously at all and just doing sh!t, and then you have Skeptic who is taking everything seriously. And yet he is also doing the same dumb arse sh!t those two are also doing. 100% serious about it btw. Like Connie would persuade Skeptic to do something, like “hey don’t you wanna know what would happen if we do this”, or maybe Cold would be like subtly nudging Skeptic and then Skeptic’s like “hmm yes”. Like Skeptic would think he’s onto something but he really isn’t. One goofy guy and two serious looking guys, one isn’t serious at all while the other is 100% serious, but they’re all just doing dumb sh!t tgt. Oh my god. One dog and two cats. I need them to explode.

Actually no joke I need to see more slay the monster (or whatever the reverse au is called) content.

I need to see the princesses perspectives translated into voices I need to hear how they think how they process. So much of (some of) the perspectives power comes from their control over their situations and I wanna know what they’d do with that partially taken away

I need to see the voices translated into perspectives I need to see how their forms are twisted and shaped by the princesses interactions with them.

I NEED to see how the narrator would respond to the shift. The entire reason the voice of the hero initially puts doubt in the player and hints that the narrators word might not be law is by pointing out the obvious tonal dissonance of a hero SLAYING a princess rather than SAVING her. But that doesn’t exist with slay the monster. The narrator wouldn’t need to work as hard to convince the player that they’re doing “the right thing” cuz it’s a monster! It’s chained up and dangerous and going to hurt a lot of people if you don’t kill it! The voice of the princess (my decided title for the VOT Hero in this au cuz obviously the actual Princess would be called the shifting mound the same way we’re the long quiet) would then have to take an angle of “we’re supposed to protect our subjects and our people. Monster or not, isn’t that what this creature is?” Which is still an appeal to the common trope as well as your morality. The narrator would play into your role as a princess like crazy going on about your duty to protect the world you rule over and to save innocent people who’s lives are in your hands, basically what he does to the long quiet but more

Mostly though I just think an inverse of their situations in the cabin would be fun. The chapter one princess is such an interesting character because she’s not the perfect victim. Her honey sweet voice and her doe eyes and her innocent scared demeanour aren’t necessarily fabricated just overplayed. She is genuinely scared, that’s the part that’s true, everything else is a desperate appeal to your humanity that you’ll let her go. It becomes somewhat real in the damsel rout when you free her and warn her and fight tooth and nail to save her, but for the most part it’s for show. If you come down there with a knife or decide mid convo you’re actually gonna kill her for real she drops it. She’s harsh and cold and keeps you at arms length, she acts bored and above it all when she speaks to you picking at her nails and glaring at you. GRANTED THAT COULD ALL BE WRONG! Maybe the harsh and cold personality is the fictitious one, a front built up to protect herself from danger, and really the frightened and desperate personality is the real one. MAYBE THEY’RE BOTH REAL! OR MAYBE THEY’RE BOTH MADE UP. It’s probably that last one but for the sake of my bit we’re going with the first one.

The point is the princess tries to appear put together and composed in both these versions of her personality, but deep down she’s like a caged wild animal and isn’t afraid to act like a caged wild animal if she has to

Now imagine the inverse of that, for The Monster

Outwardly a beast who smarls and claws at every surface trying to break free from its prison. If you bring the blade it slinks into the far corner of the room and hisses and spits while you trying and communicate with it but if you go unarmed it will lunge at you held back by its chains just barely. It’s frightening it’s threatening there is no attempt to appeal to any morality or present a domineering front to strong arm you into doing what it wants, it’s just pure violence and fear, a creature who wears its emotions on its sleeve. Depending on what you do it’s iterations become more or less beastly (I’d imagine guys like Stubborn or Broken or Hunted or Cold would get even more violent or reactive but guys like Paranoid or Opportunist or Cheated or Contrarian would have a more pensive and thoughtful approach, you can decide for the rest) but as you play and as you try and speak with it you discover actually there’s a lot more complex thought behind its eyes, and once the fear subsides there’s a person with throught and feelings hiding under all those feathers and teeth. Also not the perfect victim, they also bite the hand that feeds, but like a little to the left you know

Can you tell? Can you tell it’s like a worm digging into my frontal lobe and eating away at my brain? Huh? Can you tell???

I just finished slay the princess. I am literally shivering the ending just... It's so... I am speechless, it was so beautiful. I am on the verge of tears. I am fucking begging you to play this game it is so good. Johnathan Sims and Nicole goodnight did such a good VA work. Jesus. I don't know how it affected the ending but having the VOT contrarian there made it hit so much harder. Just... Play this game, I beg of you. It's only a few hours long and 100% worth the 20$.

I ship VOT stubborn / VOT broken. They could fix eachother.

Sidenote: this is one of the only games I've played without some sort of video / music in the background THAT is how much it enthralled me. It's just that atmospheric.

VOT Hero but with color! Ill hopefully get the other voices colored soon

Heres the funny guy! (Concept) + other voices

Didn’t expect I’d try to design this guy on his birthday, but here we are! The main inspiration this time is definitely @/phantasmatoucan (OWL)’s contrarian. A short little jester! I already drew him like this but then someone mentioned chicken— so i stuck to it!

I already knew i wanted to give him a lot of feathers. Halfway through my brainstorm i thought that heyy he’s kinda a party guy… how about a pinata? So here he is. In his round fluffy glory. No colours decided yet though. Ive got more doodles around him but that will be for a seperate post. For now have these instead!

‘Our Princess’ fanart. Wanna know which chapter it is? WELL READ IT!

Okay yeah its from Chapter 10: The Harpy. This whole chapter had me howlingg (and bawling) so i highly recommend it to anyone interested in an exploration to a potential sequel to STP!

And an attempt at humanisation + other doodles + and gasp another voice??

No thats definitely not @/everestgale ‘s human hero i dont know what you’re talking about (insert razor emote here)

[monkey-network]

You know, I smile even more knowing how that ended up being when my last conversation with a VoT fanboy ended with me being called a contrarian idiot for missing out on 'The pop culture icon if our generation'.

I’ll just say Game of Thrones is honestly Lord of the Rings for those type of people that demand for “more mature” entertainment, not caring about the effort that goes into it. Having a ‘generational pop culture icon’ is a superficial ceiling.

[strixcattus-reblog]

If the first reblog is talking about Razor, then stalling until she gets bored leads to Broken, same as approaching her. Him, Paranoid, and Stubborn are the only ones you can get from basement choices. (And Hunted and Contrarian from the blade choice.)

You shouldn't be able to avoid getting a new Voice in Witch -> Wild but I know there at least used to be a bug in Beast -> Wild where if you got eaten while fleeing you would get VOT Cheated, who is only supposed to be in Witch -> Wild, except he would only say one line near the end (don't know if it's been fixed or not; haven't checked since way back when I was trying to find Opportunist in there)

You should always get Stubborn if you kill yourself while eaten—unless you got eaten while playing dead! That usually if not always leads to Contrarian. (Haven't fully tested it—I recently got him instead of Opportunist, and I swear you can get him in place of Stubborn, but I don't know if he appears if you take Broken's choices as well.)

Somebody actually made something close to a full decision tree map for Slay the Princess.

1. Can't wait to see how much messier this gets in a week. This doesn't even include optional or exploratory dialogue! 2. See, this is why we didn't build a timeline for you to jump into.
