hero likes birds because lq is bird and shifty likes lq and hero is shifty
I don’t wanna, why do I have to? Can I not? What if I just lay here and don’t think about it? Maybe it just won’t be an issue tomorrow.
So I've been looking at the "slay the monster" stuff and i think the stuff I've seen is neat i gotta ask. Has anyone thought about it where the goal ISN'T to slay the monster but to be a sacrificial maiden for the monster. A switching of places but not of roles.
I mainly ask this because i think it'd be very interesting to instead of the narrator painting the creature as something that deserves to be killed whose entire existence would be better off destroyed, it would be the narrator trying to show you how good it would be if you just let the monster devour you. You're a princess so obviously they wouldn't have sent you away if they COULD do something else. Look at how nice this cabin is, wouldn't it be lovely to rest here while doing a good thing. The monster while powerful and scary is gentle and will allow you to pass painlessly. Go on princess, step into the beast's maw and slip away into a deep slumber forever....
I do feel like the princess wouldn't be instigating the resets but the monster. I feel like it could play on the monster always wanting to desire something. The "cold" route (aka just doing what you're told with no hesitation) would be interesting. Imagine seeing a lady wordlessly step into your maw and allow herself to be devoured. While the stp cold route is vengeance of a killer i feel like it'd be the opposite. A curiosity the monster couldn't sate as it sat there after that odd event. They could feel time slowly pass now that they had an unanswerable question. Eventually becoming too much to bear so they die and it starts up again.
Anyways i mainly think it's interesting purely because the vibes of everything would be so different.
too many thoughts. princess in a suit. now she is the lady in your head
bonus obligatory hero contradiction
I always forget that a lot of creators have their narilamb ship have that harsh dip in trust when narinder wants to sacrifice the lamb. I love it, it's a great dynamic, especially if there's and up before, I just forget sometimes that would be a natural progression of those characters
I thought since the start of the game that it would end with the lamb dead, even before it was revealed. You're always called a vessel, so I honestly thought the conclusion would be fight or you get possessed and they take the cult in your body. so i figured the lamb thought the same and either wanted to die since they were all alone, or were planning to fight all along. Honestly, before i found out narinder was a cat, i thought he was a dog, like an Anubis type, and it was a big "wolf in sheep's clothing" metaphor >_>; I'm kind of disappointed that didn't happen, honestly.
because of that thought process i had while playing, I designed Ewen from the beginning to want to die. only agreeing to be alive to get revenge on for indignity they suffered for their execution. I eventually expanded on the how's and whys, but that was always the starting point. Their attachment to narinder, along with the self worth that comes from being needed (even as a tool) was the only thing that gave them a drive to keep living, and the only reason they refused to give up the crown. If u wanna get all narrative fancy, I try to tie that back around to when they rescue their siblings, despite the fact that they think they'll take narinder away from them. That's the point when their completely selfish need for them becomes less "I'm going to do whatever it costs to keep him here to make me happy" to "I'm going to do whatever it costs to make him happy, even if it might take him away from me" love. which, of course, is terrifying lol. and then brings it back around to "his selfish need to do whatever it costs to keep me with him has to make me acknowledge I am worth love and he won't leave me" in a double fucked up way.
Narilamb crack idea where lamb is a poor unfortunate sailor stuck on an island after a shipwreck and Narinder is the siren/seamonster circling the island attempting (unsuccessfully) to lure them into the water so he can eat them.
Over the course of time they end up bonding, and after multiple failed murder attempts on Narinder’s part he realizes that he’s stopped seriously hunting them, its more like a game between them at that point (lamb still assumes he would eat them if they fell in, though.) He eventually does catch them, but to lamb’s surprise, he lets them go.
Anyway that’s all I got for now but I am Thinking Thoughts
By the way
The way you draw the Princess in general is so pretty
Even more so with the Lady- Really? You really got do that-/pos
thank you!! i used to draw a lot more women than half bird men. it means a lot ^^
“Sweetheart, that’s- a cryptid??? I’m not sure but it’s definitely not a cat-“
Trying to mimic the Artstyle of Slay the Princess was fun to do!
This is an artwork of an upcoming STP fic,I have no braincells or else I would've wrote a snippet.
Now Off to rewatch the entire gameplay again
cats dilate their eyes out of excitement. some would call it love.
