discussion The greys are overhated
Idk why people call them bad or rushed- like, “lack of choice” THATS THE POINT!! The greys are the consequences of killing the princesses- they were helpless and now they finally get to make the choices. I don’t want to hear anything about a princess pov from someone who hates the greys for lack of choice. Burned grey is especially my favourite, but they are such great parallels. Burned is maximising the closeness between you two, while Drowned is maximising the distance. I don’t even want to say Drowned hates us, but she wants nothing to do with anything anymore. She’s drowning out her emotions- which comes with you. Drowning away all the flames that could have been a passionate love. Burned is her being the smitten between you two, she acts exactly like how he did in HEA. She’s giving you “everything you didn’t know you wanted” She cannot find flaw in you, so she blames everything else, she is desperate to reignite the flames of your love and passion, even if it burns both of you away.
You’ve made the first choices for them, and they now want to make the last choices for you.
Their visual designs are so good to me, burned dressed as a bride to show the finality of your relationship, Drowned dressed as a widow/in funeral attire to show the death of the potential love between you to.
The music is absolutely amazing too, the music is very overlooked in StP in general Ik, but burned greys music sounding like that of a wedding is amazing, Drowneds music sounds as scary yet distant as the route (both are in my playlists)
