Slay The Princess Game - Blog Posts

This sucks so bad, I need to [remembers suicide jokes only worsen my mental health] slay the Princess. If I don’t, it will be the end of the world.

The stp grind continues once more!

I love it when the princesses are slay

they will be dealt with

I'm going to do it, I'll out all the brilliant, profound notes on my half-assed, tired and pretentious ramble.

But first, a much-needed bit of context. I was vaguely aware of some of these, and I am guilty of focusing more on the voices myself. This is because I can do a bad drawing of an aspect of an amorphous bird man and it looks a lot better than if I mess up drawing a woman. I don't draw humans well.

Some extra things in other reblogs, I can see them all and others should too, these perspectives have shaped my own:

By the way, I like the Shifting Mound more than any other character in the game. Have done for a while, I hadn't considered misogyny being a problem before this post.

Oh, for sure. That route is why I assign colours to the voices in my art. It's fun to imagine them with unique designs.

I shan't say directly what I think they'd look like properly, though, because I want to imply it.

Absolutely bizarre to me that the Princess doesn't get more love; she's amazing and charming in pretty much every iteration, and I wish I could shut those voices up half the time because they make things worse or take ages.

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.

We're supposed to be unfeeling. How many times do I have to tell you to snuff out your heart?

Beak is less obvious with this one, but it does take the upper part of his skull.

Ha! I knew it! Your words are no match for the pure strength of our hearts, bound together as one.

You're on a path in the woods...

Sat on the edge of the table is a pristine blade...

I MADE FANFICTION!!!

Erm, hi. I'll be honest, my Slay the Princess fixation died down the last couple days. But! I have one last thing to share. If I could somehow bring myself back to this fandom again, I'll continue it. For now, I present to you my fanfiction based on this AU: The Knight Btw, this is my first time putting my actual writing work out there. I'm confident about my art, but writing is a whole 'nother thing. So, if you guys could, please be gentle. 😓😓 Thanks so much for the likes and the little notes and tags in your reposts. I read a lot of them and it means a lot to me. Maybe I'll be back posting about STP or other fandoms soon.

This took HOURS... W/O filters & Sketch:

MMMM I dunno.

I might make an AU of this... I'm still thinking about it tho. If I'm feeling good enough I could even make a fanfic. I dunno. We'll see. I've seen a suggestion for the chapter name which is "The Twisted." I like it. Might use it. Any suggestions or ideas you want for this AU?

I forgot about the voice designs ermmm.. have this :3

I want to add that I used AI generated chickens with armors for reference on Smitten. I found 'em at google.

Hi guys. I thought I'd try and make a few designs for the voices and maybe give you my train of thought. EXCEPT I'm REALLY bad at explaining my thoughts, so bear with me.

The Long Quiet & Voice of the Hero

This one should be obvious enough... For hero, I just made him similar to TLQ, but with armor. (But they kinda all are TLQ with something different.)

Voice of the Smitten

Same thing with hero except hero's armor is more used and has scratches and the Smitten's all shiny and stuff. I guess I wanted to display a more "idealistic" knight like how Damsel was the idealistic princess, iykwim?

Voice of the Broken

So, I was like, "Okay, broken... Um.. How do I display something broken while having a unique design?" Then, I thought of one of the first routes I went to which was The Tower and how our lungs was squashed. Sooooo lung shaped(?) hole + broken ribs got itt... Add some leash too since he's sooo submissive. (It was orginally a harness... Since the design's unique enough w/o it, I might remove it.)

Voice of the Paranoid

Ummm aghh Idk... I mean, isn't it explanatory enough? Eyes... Spiral... Paranoia, yk? + The feathers that are literally falling out due to stress. I dunno, I'll come up with a better design later if I can. It's not final anyway.

Any voices you guys want me to design next??
