ok but you do know the Nightsisters in tcw enslave the Nightbrothers and are an actively oppressive society right. don't let the whole 'oh they're badass girlbosses' shit get to your head. they are the problem.

And because I recently read the Chocolate Box...Please enjoy one of the only things I feel like the show did right with this particular story...

Poirot looking super dapper in his Belgian police uniform:

The cut of this uniform is very flattering on him, I must say...especially with the way it accentuates his chest, his waist, and his ''''''''seat''''''''

And I love the design on the collar/sleeves. Very fancy/official

also. please look at his very silly official hat

Gotta say. Hugh Fraser may have been the eye candy of this show, but. David Suchet sure knows how to be pretty, too

#I may. just. have a thing for men in uniform #that might be what is going on here #add to that the fact that I am pansexual and it creates the recipe for 'oh no everyone's hot' disease #Although.... Funny enough. With apologies to Philip Jackson. Inspector Japp is. not my type #so I suppose it would be more accurate to say it creates the recipe for 'oh no *almost* everyone is hot' disease #anyway speaking of uniforms. and because I am a nerd. I think it would be funny to draw Poirot in a Starfleet uniform.#Although it would have to be one of the 2330s ones because any of the other eras just wouldn't do his sense of style justice #Although if I were to be real. I don't see him actually *being* in Starfleet. Like maaybe? he was a long time ago and now he's '''retired''#I DO see him as an El Aurian ambassador that gets called in for investigations a LOT #(and let's be real him being El Aurian would certainly explain him just straight up not aging in canon)#Anyway maybe he gets called in all the time because Admiral Japp can't get anything done without him #And he meets Hastings because Japp calls him in to investigate some happenings aboard Captain Hastings' ship #And Ambassador Poirot may or may not be a thorn in Captain Hastings' side for a VERY brief time #until he clears Capt. Hastings' good name and enlists his help in the investigation. and he just slips right past Hastings' defences #Like. 'oh you put up walls so that people can't get to know you? what walls? I didn't see any'#And by the end Captain Hastings starts to think.#'oh no. I think. I think I like him. Oh NO. I think I REALLY LIKE him. OH NO'#And the Investigation is over and Hastings is having a crisis like. 'how do I ask him not to leave. Am I allowed to do that?'#'But I'm the captain I shouldn't be asking him to stay. Wait but I'm the captain so technically I'm the only one who *CAN* ask him to stay'#'*internal screaming*'#But then maybe Ambassador Poirot decides on his own that he'd like to stick around on Hastings' ship for a while. Act as a 'consultant'.#And Hastings is relieved like 'oh thank god. I won't have to say goodbye to him. wait. but like. not because. I want him or anything. what?#and First Officer Lemon is giving him the KNOWINGEST LOOK OF ALL TIME #(and. side note. we all know that First Officer Felicity Lemon would run THE tightest ship ever. So you can jot that down)#wow I accidentally unexpectedly made an AU in the tags again. Well. That was fun. Thanks for reading if you stuck around #5.6 The Chocolate Box #watching poirot #poirot #Hercule Poirot #agatha christie’s poirot

Sorry if this is a bad hour but I have a question. Is there any part of StP you think is genuinely bad?

No worries! I usually respond to asks when I have time/when I'm in the mood to talk anyways, so it's never a bad time to send an ask!

In general, I don't think I really feel comfortable with saying any parts of StP are genuinely bad, per se, because the game is just so expertly crafted and means so much to me personally that I'd be lying if I said I'm not biased to it. And also I'm no media expert, I'm not even that great at media analysis either, so I generally tend to be quite reserved with judgements; there is no way I could, in good conscience, say that any parts of StP are objectively bad or anything like that.

What I can share, though, are my personal dislikes about the game and its writing. There aren't a lot of them, and of course, the positives far, far outweigh the negatives (I wouldn't be here if they didn't), but I still have a couple of issues with the game, and I want to talk about one:

Happily Ever After lets the Long Quiet, or rather, you, the player, get away with too much.

Now for full context, Happily Ever After is one of my favorite chapters in the whole game. It is deeply personal to me, and I resonate with it on a very strong level; it emotionally devastated me, in the best way possible, when I played it for the first time (Paranoid variant), and this chapter holds a very special place in my heart.

...that being said, I dislike the fact that the game never acknowledges that it's your fault that everyone is miserable and stuck in the cabin. You made the decision to stay in the cabin, but the game never calls you out on that, never forcing you to acknowledge that you did this. It weakens the ending of the chapter for me, especially with the princess asking "Do you... still care about me?"... I know the game gives you a lot of options in that moment, a lot of which are written well, but the option to say "Of course I do" just feels so off and so hollow to me, and I can't seem to verbalize it quite well, but it really annoys me.

In general, the ending is very sweet, but in my opinion, it doesn't feel that earned, precisely because the game never acknowledges your fault and never lets you to truly apologize for it, to feel remorseful for it, to earn that moment of dancing under the stars. Though, I do very much like that scene from the princess's perspective, as I've rambled about in tags of this post, as this symbolic moment of her finally getting her wish fulfilled after being denied and denied and denied for so long.

I'm sure I'm not expressing my thoughts very clearly, and I apologize for that, I just feel quite passionate about HEA because it really did impact me so much, and so these personal dislikes about the chapter irk me because it feels like a missed potential to me, on an already such a great chapter. If it affected me this much and this deeply when, in my opinion, it has a pretty major flaw in its story... I can't help but imagine how much more powerful it would've been without said flaws.

Though like I said in the other post, even with those problems, I adore this chapter a lot. And this kind of extends to the whole game too, whatever issues I might have with the game, those all pale in comparison to just how many things the game did right, and just how much this game has impacted me, and just how much I love and adore this game, and just how much this game has changed my life. Thank you, Slay the Princess, thank you, Black Tabby Games, and thank you, Slay the Princess community, all for being so wonderful <3

#ask #slay the princess #eg chatting #stp happily ever after #god - even when talking about stuff i dislike - i can't help but love this game #though i will say - dishonorable mention to my least favorite things about StP is the removed Prisoner dialogue for Skeptic #i was going to talk about it in the original post - but it just didn't fit with how most of the post went - so it gets a mention in the tag #but oh my god - i am so sad over the fact that those lines are removed #there was no reason to make Skeptic dumber!!! you don't have to remove those lines to get people to see Cage!!!#make Hero the one who panics and wants to leave without Prisoner's head!!! and then have Skeptic spiral into doubt at the start of Cage!!!#it would've made sense like that!!! AHHHHH-#i can see why those lines were removed - but personally - i just really dislike that - and it feels like such a shame for his character #yes I'm biased because Skeptic is one of my favorites #i never said i'm not - this is why i'm talking about my personal opinions and dislikes - that's all this entire post is really #none of these are even close to objective truths or anything like that #anyways - those two things are probably the stuff that irks me the most about StP - but like i said - i love this game too much #and i can (and certainly do) overlook a lot of those issues - just because the game is so good and personal and means so much to me #but i digress

hey has anyone ever considered doing shinjiro smut for after the fade to black but he lays you across his lap, like has anyone ever considered the canon praise kink with him more—shinjiro who scolds you, calls you trouble and tells you to stay close to him like a "good girl", shinjiro who acts tough, pretends to be fed up with you pushing him around (he loves it, but that doesn't mean you're not gonna hear about it), ignoring what he wants, so two can play that game, and you think, god, he's not holding back anymore, he's going to kiss me, finally, we're going to— but no, he settles on his bed and pats his lap and tells you that you need to "take responsibility" for teasing him like that, messing with his feelings — "be a good girl." remember, you started this.

#shinjiro aragaki #suggestive #i also like the idea of asking him to do something and he outright scoffs like fully has an attitude about it #tries to remind you what he said about ignoring his needs and asks you what makes you think he's gonna pay attention to yours #you think you get to ask him anything? that's cute #i love playing into that though like i know everyone is all in on the 'i ain't holding back anymore bit' but sorry #man says 'you think you can just push me around? ignore what i want? yeah. well. two can play that game' in that VOICE too? whew boy #like i think he should get to do that a little bit i think he should put me over his lap until i behave #fuck i think it should be more than that though like imagine him lifting you and just. like. tossing you onto the bed.#trying to sass him about the noise and he's like 'you think i give a shit about those guys when i got you right here?' like #i want him to take the wind out of me ya feel i want to talk shit get bit #hit a little too but like open handed #or maybe he tosses you on the bed and you're like 'oh shit oh shit' and then he sits at the foot of it and fucking #PULLS you onto his lap and rucks up your skirt just like that and there are a few moments - a hitched breath #'under negotiated kink' i don't CAREEE that's part of the fantasy like how hot would it be to just have someone tick those boxes untold #either way whether he gets wild or not (preferably yes but maybe needs time to warm up)#it's like. god. he should get to y'know. like (some of) my autonomy being taken from me without him ever overstepping is hot. hot. hot.#he should bend me over his lap and make me keep count while he very tenderly very lovingly mocks me #condescending about the great leader letting herself be treated like this and enjoying it literally makes you turn around #and finally finally touches you properly but he fucking laughs and you're red-faced and he goes 'isn't that embarrassing' and ramps up #so you can't even answer him #god should i try to write this #i think i'm too much of a perfectionist to do this sometimes because i'll stew and never get it done ugh #anyway.#filth #pure filth #thank you #i think we outdid that suggestive tag #smut #(for safety)

actually, as i start approaching 20 i realize nana is not a cool coming of age story but it is, in fact, a horror

#as i age i can't blame hachi anymore #i used to throw so much shit at the “adults” for not protecting shin #but now i realizr your power over a teenager is so so limited unless you are his actual family #the best you can do is be a good influence and soft-parent him into being a decent person #hachi's actions make more sense than they did when i was 16 now and i understand how she was petrified to make a decision in those situation #ren's death hits more and more as a tragedy now realizing how young and misguided and stressed he truly was #and yasu too bc honestly as i live closer to people his age i realize he wasnt so much older or even maturer #he took care of others even though he himself didnt know anything much #being put in those situations without the backing of your family or someone actually wise is so so horrible i don't know what i would do #and i do get junko bc of this bc when you are not in the situation yourself it is easy to just be the virtuous one and play god #nana #i will reread this once i actually hit 20

finished dark heir just now and googled if there's any updates from the author on the last book of the trilogy and clicked a reddit link to check... got gobsmacked with the worst possible opinion in human history... never talk to anyone about a piece of media you like Ever

#said the fandom girl on the fandom website #no but seriously i just wanted to see an update and instead i get gobsmacked with the shittiest opinions known to humankind #i get that we all need our dose of yaoi but why are you reading a political dark fantasy series for it.#go read an actual romance novel or smth #im sure they make romance novels which have all the tropes you like in this book #without the complex and fascinating character developments that you obviously dislike.#'i hate all the characters for not having the omniscient view that i as a reader who gets to read multiple internal monologues have!'#this is dark fantasy for fuck's sake! the entire point is that the main character is fighting the corruption but is unable to overcome it!#it's not good vs bad oh my fucking god!#it's not the good main character who he fighting his evil past self and nobody understands his poor little self!#it's the fact that no matter his intentions his present self is beholden to his past self and his actions just play into that #it's about the self fulfilling prophecies of being told you are something and trying not to be that #and the harder you try not to be that the closer you come to becoming it!!#'his good friends don't support him for no reason' did you just skip over some of their internal monologues???#they tried so hard not to hate him!!#some of them nearly overcame their cult-like conditioning for it!#'i just read the book for the two male characters' scenes' yeah i can tell #with opinions like that i can't believe you ever read anything without the shipping goggles #which is such a fucking shame for you too because you won't even be able to truly appreciate their first kiss at the very end.#because you missed the entire point of the book #you won't even be able to see its wretched glory. its lovely awfulness. and if you do you simply won't be able to appreciate it.#because you boiled down a book of complexities and nuances and fighting against the horrors within and #choosing to do right thing in the face of easier wronger choices #about good vs bad and shipping.

Big things coming soon? Maybe? Possibly? Could be clickbait? Hm.....

#I WANT TO START STREAMING AGAIN #BUT I'M SO SCARED #AND MY PERFECTIONIST TENDENCIES ARE KICKING MY ASS #I CAN'T STREAM UNTIL IT'S ALL SET UP AND READY AND PERFECT #'oh just do it anyway'#NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAAAAND #It's so hard to do #🥺🥺🥺#Even when I do think 'I should just do it right now. Go live without anything prepared just. Do it.'#I still don't do it #Because like #'Oh well I wanna play my favorite game Funny Fantasy for 18 hours instead :3'#It is 100% a self-discipline issue #Because I could always either play FF on stream (not happening)#Or I could just. I don't know. Play less of it?#Maybe hit like. An hour or two a day?#And spend the rest of the weekend actually working towards my goals?#But I have a disease.#And it's called 'You're never going to be able to make this work unless it's perfect so why even try'#And it eats at me.#Anyway I NEED to quit my job.#So I better get a support net set up quick huh?#I know quitting your job and THEN starting streaming as a career is NOT viable hskdfljh #So.#I have to stream while I still DO have the job #Until I've got a community who I can rely on.#But GOD is it hard #Screaming and yelling into the void

I have like mental spellcheck but it's just a mean SJW from 2015 Tumblr who helpfully tells me whenever anything I've ever said thought or reblogged could possibly in any way be construed as "problematic"

#don't pathologize this #i just hate to be misunderstood more than anything amd unfortunately i got my brain cooked in the 'your fave is problematic era' where we #were all deliberately misunderstanding each other and reading everything in thr worst possible light trying to be as non-problematic #as possible #everyone used to be so fucking mean on here. me included.#and now i can't think about like. setting a story in england without 2015!me being like 'why are you erasing historically disenfranchised #cultures by writing about a nation of global hegemony just say you hate indigenous people and kys'#which like. girl hello. are you okay.#and now she's saying 'why did you use indigenous people for that example are you trying to imply something why was that your go-to #check yourself'#anyway lmao. i do think tumblr gave me complicated psychological damage.#nothing diagnosable because it doesnt usually interfere with my life or cause me undue distress but god damn

i wish i could just do nothing for a few days straight. maybe even just sleep for a few days straight. sooo excited for constant misery over the next 20 days
