Looks Like I'll Be Dying Of The Worst Sickness Of All, HETEROSEXUALITY /j

the unholy trinity of piss-poor caretakers, tag yourself:

tomboy, meaning "this child is clearly queer but let's hope it goes away"

sensitive, meaning "clearly neurodivergent and often distressed but let's keep going until they grow numb"

mature, meaning "traumatized but let's ignore that"

Who is cyn?

I know we all know who what we refer to cyn as is but that is the absolute solver, so we don't really who the real cyn is despite seeing her for most of the series. Do you have any headcanons about how could this little butler robot be?

So... English-speaking dog man fans. How do you pronounce "Petey" is It like "pity" or "petty" or something else?

This is one of the reasons I LOVE stranger so much, the recontextualization of the situation. This is best shown when she talks about she being "The Stranger"

here she is accepting the undeniable fact that she will always be a stranger, but instead of fighting what happened to her she redefines what it means for her.

While something strange can mean something you aren't close with it can also mean something wonderful and new to discover and experience, thus by changing the meaning and not the fact she finds happines and meaning in what she is and has lived.

pd: I replayed an entire run(??) to take this screenshot and I've seen skeptic EOTN for the first time and I wanna comment some things about it

Thinking about how at the End of Everything, both the Soft and Harsh Princesses will express disinterest in being a god, and it is a declaration of their agency when they've largely been denied that agency in what they will become for the entire game. And so by not wanting to be a god, they are able to become their own person.

Thinking about how at the End of Everything, the Stranger says you shouldn't deny part of yourself if you say you dont want to be a god. And they were forced to become what is the most blatantly unpleasant [and likely painful] form of the Princess, but they do not resent you for it and instead have accepted their new condition and their godly nature as parts of them. Denial of the self does not negate it.

idk just a little conversation(maxwil didn’t show up but there were references to them

Making this post long so you have to scroll to see prev's tags.

Another thing that should happen but does not happen regarding the skeptic is getting to the cage after trapping yourself with the prisoner. Like, I can't be the only one who thinks that the action that gives you the achievment "THE PRISION OF THE MIND become your own jailer" should lead to THE CAGE right?

maybe if you want to keep the possibility of getting the old ending you can either keep hope that something will happen (old ending) think that there must be some sort of pattern or trick that you aren't seeing (cage paranoid) or maybe get all depressed (cage broken).

MORE SKEPTICK CONTENT BABYYYY!!!

(for those Who don:t know the game got an update and now skeptick is with you in HEA instead of paranoid, wich makes sense considering the whole "love melted into skepticism" thing )

to me this is what slay the princess is really all about. not about grand concepts of life and death, not about some distant cosmic concepts, it's about a very specific thing about our lives and how we deal with them.

it's about the fear that the things that happened to you shaped you in a way that made you worse and you need to fix and undo them, the fear that if this bad thing didn't happen to you, you would be better, and how, no: there is no judgement to be made on your experiences or how they shaped you. your experience do not worsen or better you, they just change you, and that change is important and good because it makes you more complete and fleshed out as a person.

you can bring such a huge variety of difference princesses to the shifting mound, parts of her who have experienced a huge range of emotions and events, from tragedy and pain to happiness and love and everything in between, princesses with a huge range of personalities and character, and she sees value in every single one of them. no matter how dark, painful, horrible a chapter it is, no matter what awful things have happened to them, no matter what kind of princess it is or how cruel or horrible she is or what she's done, she can find value in them, because they add to her, and complete her.

she can find beauty and meaning and substance in the vicious razor, appreciate her joyfulness, she sees the vengeful and petty witch as righteous because her bitterness from the betrayal she experiences formed in her an idea of right and wrong, she describes the terrifying nightmare as tender because she sees her inner sadness and sensitivity, she describes the vicious and vengeful wraith as 'driven' because she sees her power of will and determination.

she does not make any moral judgements on either the 'good' or 'bad' princesses, she sees their experiences and the traits and understanding of the world they add to her.

the important thing to her is to have experiences and perspectives that flesh her out and add to her, they let her grow and gain substance and understanding. she has nothing bad to say about any of them, and the only 'bad' thing she has to say isnt a bad thing it all, it's not having much to say at all about a damsel who has little experiences and little to offer her, and it's not a sentiment she ever expresses on her own.

and i mean, it says it right here at the start of the game right, 'there are no wrong decisions, there are only fresh perspectives and new beginnings'. and then this line from the ending where you return to th stranger:

this applies to TLQ too. tlq is stillness so he doesnt change as the shifting mound does, but he also has parts of himself and his character as represented by the voices, and all of them serve their purpose. all of them have value. they are not bad or good, they are not better or worse, they just are.

and like, to me where this actively applies to real life isn't this that you should seek out negative or bad experiences, or that you should actively suffer to build character or anything so extreme. it's a way to understand the bad things that already did happen and the pain and trauma you did experience, and a way to understand the pain and trauma that sometimes is inevitable as just a part of any life experience, because the most important and valuable thing to a person is to have any kinds of life experiences, positive or negative. and in the case of the negative, you are shaped and changed by it, but you are not worsened, you just become more. it carve texture around your heart.

what if god wanted you dead

but the voice in your head said:

Also a lot of people Talk about Cheated and Oppy, but to me It doesn't really seem like Cheated dislikes Oppy more than any of the voices do. In thorn he doesn't seem to despise Oppy any more than Hero and when anyone talks about him they say he's annoying at best. Like no one can even be genuinely angry at him because he so obviously bad at what he does that he isn't even a threat.

we don't talk enough about our voices beef headcanons. c'mon, no way these guys always get along, have you seen their interactions?

Cheated and Oppy absolutely despise each other. Cheated is too much of a righteous little prick, and worries a lot about fairness for someone who is willing to stab others in the back if she suspects any foul play, and Opportunist is Opportunist.

Contra is sure most of the other hates them, and makes no effort in really changing that or even giving others much grace when they're the ones who start annoying him.

Stubborn cannot fucking stand Skeptic. he's all just yap yap yap, and no action! Why do others listen to him and not Opportunist, if they all love a big talk so much?
