Do you guys think the reason so much fanart exists for the voices is not because of them being great characters (all the characters in STP are), but instead because we spend more time in our own heads than we ever will with a version of the princess?
I get it. They're inherently relatable because they reflect our previous actions through any route and set the tone of each chapter. They bicker with us and are able to see every option we take.
But, maybe the princesses are underrated. As in, she's always an outsider. How quickly would she be more beloved if the voices would shut up and let us do our stuff, or if they were seperate from us?
How then would we judge the impulsive contrarian, the weak-willed hero or the depressed cold? Would we appreciate paranoid were he more than a life support?
Ask yourself that, and ponder it awhile. Don't say it to anyone. Just an hour of your independent thoughts, clear of little voices.
Rare confirmation? Wow.
Does anyone has a theory/analysis on why Hea is the only one(?) who's got the hands like that above her head, almost like a crown?
For reference, here's Hea, and here's some examples that don't have the hands like that
I'm making a pmv and it just hit me now that she seems to be the only one who got the hands in that weird shape
i feel like there has to be some obvious metaphor or meaning hidden but i really can't tell what rn lol
Imo it either looks like a crown, or a star. I think it's meant to be a crown? But I prefer the idea that it's meant to be a star xP Because then it might mean that she was terrified of the fire going out, unaware/afraid to see that she can shine just as bright by herself (metaphorically, we're not in the burned grey lmao), and that she never needed the flames on the walls
Or maybe it's meant to look like the Prisoner's crown? That's the very first thing that came to my mind honestly, but i do prefer the star idea >v<
Trust me, I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't think it would be easy
Ha! I knew it! Your words are no match for the pure strength of our hearts, bound together as one.
I dont post things about me much, but I’m a bit proud of this. I got really into Horizon: Zero Dawn by accident, and realized after playing it a bunch that I was super close to 100% achievements. So I pushed and got there.
So then along comes the sequel, Forbidden West. I delayed a couple years, but finished the story a while ago. I kept itching for more because I just love this world and story and characters.
Today I finished everything.
I’m just really pleased about this.
So now 100% on Horizon games is a thing for me. I don’t think I’m going to 100% the Lego one, but I’m so ready to invest in Horizon 3 whenever it happens.
Just like the Samwise quote, this is one of the stories that sticks with me because the heroes keep fighting no matter how dark it looks, because there’s good worth fighting for. It’s a reminder I’m holding close the way the world is right now. Those same feelings are built into the song too, so of course I’ve had that on loop as well:
I am raindrops in the flood
I am emptiness, I am hope
I am lonely in a crowd
But when you hear me, you'll be near me
Stay here with me
in the flood
In 2023, I had to price these really cool Lord of the Rings DVD sets (I think it was the extended editions).
I wish we'd get this kind of beautiful art on more packaging, even though I know this to be some kind of premium version.

Reblogging so Crowley can.
Boromir: One does not simply walk into Mordor.

Amazing analysis.
I think the voice of the cold intrests me as a character so much because he's such a real and visceral response to their circumstances. Which is true for all the voices and each is intriguing to dig into in a different way, but this post is about cold the others will get their turn (probably)
Imagine with me, for a second, you've only just learned what it means to exist and you've already been discarded.
You've done everything you were told without question. This is your purposes and you were promised Good at the end of it and you do it and you do it well. Your guide, and authority figure you should be able to trust who is seemingly so much more experienced in this world than you even seems happy with you. You must be doing it right
Then you're abandoned. The only Good for you is an eternity of nothing. The only way you can be Good is to hurt others and to not exist at all.
Wouldn't that leave you empty? Hurt, clawing for something, anything to fill that void. You had Purpose and it turned out to mean nothing, you had a vague promise of Good and it turned out to be nothing.
You can't be Good, can't fulfil that Purpose when all of it means nothing, when you've been lied to and led to be locked in a box for the rest of time. And rather than feel that hurt, you claw it out of yourself with your own two hands, and the same implement you'd used to fulfil your Purpose.
All he wants is that Good he was promised, and to him that's the opposite of that box. It's the opposite of Nothing. It doesn't matter if it hurts him, if it hurts somebody else, if it feels good or feels bad, he just craves something that will make him feel. That will make everything worth it in the end, that will free him from the monotony and inherent stagnation of the situation he's in. What use does he have for morality in pursuit of this? What use is morality in this situation anyway? Where everything is being presented with such grand consequences, where everything is both right and wrong, where these consequences never seem to quite stick for him regardless? So he simply encourages action, in whatever form that may take.
Because it's so much more intresting if it's an active choice. Something is always better than that empty cabin surrounded by nothingness all around he's subconsciously running from. Because cold is most aware of their godly nature, and so is most aware of whats always missing no matter what they do. Who tries to fill that emptiness, first with Purpose then with Action.
For a voice that claims to feel nothing at all a lot of his drive is purely emotional. He wants to be intrested, he wants to be engaged, he wants to feel something even if it hurts. He wants to feel connection to this body the same way the other voices do, and yet criticises them for feeling in that way.
At the core of it all, he wants back what he's lost. And by his very nature he cannot have it.
Removing 2 inches from the island would be the least weird thing in the latter half of Lost.
My sister and I were watching Lost but not paying a ton of attention and then suddenly the TV is like "Okay so we're going to have to remove two inches from the width of the island" and we both like snap our heads up like woah we were literally just dealing with a time travel problem why do we need to make the island a little smaller now? But it turns out the dog had laid down on the remote and turned it to Property Brothers so like bad news for whoever's kitchen they're designing but good news i guess for the Lost people for not having to shrink the island
Also: I think Aragorn gets a bad reputation now because so many lesser franchises have tried to imitate his archetype without understanding why he works. In the original movies he’s just a big gentle sad guy with a sword, who knows he’s not the real hero of the story and dedicates himself to supporting those gay little hobbits. The aragorn knockoffs are not his fault
Forgot to mention, it was £2 apiece and Return of the King (map and last image showed up a week before. Didn't buy them myself due to lack of storage.
