uhhh yeaahh
aw hes so patient and willing to give you a second chance ^^
Behold and quake in fear, the Nightmare equivalent: The Elegy
i am of the opinion gender doesnt exist to any creature in the construct (except for the narrator). the princesses are only shaped like women. they have no use for gender. the voices even less so, considering they dont have bodies.
"oh but they use he/him" "oh but they use she/her" and? that doesnt mean shit. its the same as using she/her for a boat.
one of the princesses even said herself, in plain emglish, they dont need labels. theyre not human. theyre not mortal. this shit is just whatever to them. if not for the narrator im not even sure they'd Use pronouns.
now, femininity and masculinity are Still big parts of the metanarrative, but besides like. how it affects people and media, i dont think gender itself matters at all. the princess is more the Idea of a woman. and the long quiet is the Idea of a man.
i actually have a lot to say about this but 1) im tired and 2) this post aint about that. point is: they're all trans and gay. use whatever pronouns you want. call them whatever you want. none of it matters, positively.
they were supposed to get rearranged, but ... huh
(its just the guys i ship)
and here are some like mini ideas? things i thought about while imagining their dynamics (they probably aren't accurate to rema's ideas so take them with a grain of salt)
Okay, just a itty bitty request
I kinda wanna see your Rearranged AU
No Mixes. Just your take on them like last time ('cause they are so fun and interesting on their own)
heres a . guh. handful
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.
i know mine all look pretty similar but do you guys have a favorite of my voice designs ?
I like to think the two of them lived their lives before witnessing the end of Narrator's world. Then they'd go back to their god selves and tell them about mortals.
Narrator was a misguided soul, but I believe his purpose had good intentions. It'd be nice if he still made a difference. Maybe the two gods decided to give mortals a bit of mercy after experiencing the true terror of death as actual mortals for the first time.
also, assorted sketches:
anyways, i oughta take a break. ive become addicted to slaying the princess...
What’s Hero up to in the contrary au? :o
Does Narrator get any stiff drinks? Does Contra tie a bunch of poofy bows to stuff?
oh. he's busy
but no, narry doesn't get any drinks, he's a bit preoccupied.
someone does, though
but yes! ribbons everywhere !! in nice bows
It's hard being a field medic for the god of war, huh?
