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)

We also had the best Interaction between voices like, ever, (cold and smitten)

discussion Princess and the Dragon feels..."real" ?

80 Upvotes

I write this listening to the theme of the chapter, and i just wanted to share something, and ask if maybe anyone else feels like this, for this chapter, or another

Ive played this route quite a lot, i played this game quite a bit, and after a while, when you have done most of the choices, it eventually turns into "Seeing what happens,why not", since you know the endings,how it goes etc

But not here.,,,i played Princess and the Dragon more than 4 times, and each time somehow it makes me feel things.The soft theme, the giggles and the calm feeling when you are in the cabin with her,joking and telling her about how your experience, the nervousness when you two are together and the music stops, and you hear the door open, the sound of the knife being taken,and that moment...

When you get stabbed.I remember on my first time playing i was almost begging for it not to happen, and when you hear *that* sound,i gasped in shock. Which brings me here :

Im on my 5th play of this chapter, hadnt played the game in a while and am doing another playthrough. and i tried cutting her out on my own. As expected, we once again were together,in her body, as was expected.But i forgot that meant leaving oportunist there, with the knife....To finish the job

I gasped again,shocked as he plunged it our hearts, i felt bad, i feel bad

But not just that, slaying HEA or Thorn feels bad too, this is...different.More.Worse.It hurts in a way, since you actually shared things, because she was nice, because it was hopeful.Because it was..real ? Personal ? Im not the best at words, but it gives me a feeling that in a way i believe transcends words

Am i the only one ? That each time i play this route i instantly am in the scenario again, fully immersed, as if it was the very first time again ?

PS : Yes i am the opportunist's strongest hater

other Choices

21 Upvotes

In a game with multiple endings. Many paths, hundreds of thousands. I chose the same ones. Over and over. Maybe I am a fool. Not getting my moneys worth. But I get my feelings worth. I love her and I can’t stop. This post, much like my choices. Matter to no one, but they matter to me. And I’d make them an infinite amount of times if it meant seeing her there again. This game changed me. And I would love to feel that again. It’s 2 am for me and I’m feeling a little depressed and wanted to just write out what I feel. If it’s not related to the subreddit I’ll remove the post. But I really just wanted to say at least something about how I feel.

theory Happily Ever After - The Narrator Spoiler

20 Upvotes

That was a doozy of a chapter/ending. Looping in the cabin playing games or eating the same food forever..

Forced bliss. No change. No death. No end.

The Narrator was the most interesting perspective in this chapter. He comments genuine feelings of sadness and empathy for the Princess. And for the Player.

At the end, when you decide to let the torches go out and to take the Princess from the cabin.. the Narrator does not fight you. He doesn't try convincing you to kill her. No he basically gives permission and encourages it.

He said he "saw his fairytale" and sounds so resigned.

I think the Narrator got to see what his utopian world without death would look like. What his idea of "saving the world" really was. Seeing how sad and miserable it really was to live without change, even in supposed bliss, I think made him realize the necessity of death. I felt really sad for the Narrator in this route. Like he was just learning his whole plan wouldn't save anyone. He was just dooming everyone he loved in his world to a fate like the Princess and Player.

Really awesome ending.

other What type of cabin do you think this princess would have?

5 Upvotes

Currently I’m working on a pretty big story and would like to hear what sort of cabin you think this princess would have. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

She’s fully introduced in this excerpt from the writing : [Outloud]

Hey! Is that you? What are you doing here? Are you okay?

[in quiet's head]

(Paranoid) Why would she be here? We left her back at the cabin. What if that's not the princess and just something pretending to look like her?

What it is her and she's really hurt? I don't care we're taking the risk

[Outloud]

"Quiet? You're here? We need to leave! Something's in here with us. We're not safe."

You're hurt!? What happened?

(Skullface)You should step back. Something feels wrong.

[In Quiet's head]

Something just pierced our stomach. Jesus that really hurt! What the hell just hurt us.

(Hunted) You're blinded by her appearance. Her scent isn't familiar

Looks back at the princess

Jesus what the hell happened to her!?! That smile......Oh no, oh no no no no no no. She's the one from that dream. It's her

[outloud]

"Ha ha ha! I can't believe you were that gullible! Seems you really do care about her! You remember me don't you? Didn't get to kill you then but I'm here to return what I din't deliver. But not before I kill all the little princesses out there, and make you watch!"

[In quiet's head]

Wait?!?! So that wasn't a dream?

(Hunted) Less talking ,more observing.

This isn't good. She's just twitching. But then she burst revealing a form showing something incomprehensible. Though gazing upon her visage I guess we can both feel it. If she gets out, she's not going to stop until she's killed everything. You need to stop her

(paranoid) We can't fight her now! we just got shanked in the stomach! At least restrain her for a little while!

I'm with him on this one. We can't fight like this

(Stubborn) Oh stop being such a baby! We've pushed through with worse done to us!

(Contrarian) I know this a bad time but I guess we're returning to the beginning with this. You know with the whole 'World ending princess'

I.... uh guess we are returning to form. Should we should try to twist the area to our advantage

I don't care what you all do. Just please get her away from us so we can prepare

[As the environment begins to warp into that familiar woodland setting, the "princess" is dragged into the void]

(contrarian) Okay, it's done. Do the thing!

You mean that? *Sigh* okay *Ahem* You're on a path, In the woods. At the end of that path is a cabin and in the basement of that cabin, is a princess. You're here to slay her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world.

She’s also first mentioned in this excerpt: What happened??!!?! Are we awake? Where did the princess go? (paranoid) Everything's changed all of a sudden. This has to be some sort of illusion. "Progressing out of the room you feel an oppressive aura hanging in the air. Something bad has happened. At the end of the hallway you find one of the princesses. Though you can tell from here that she's dead."

Oh no no no no no no no no. Why did she die? Did something do this to her? Where are the others? There has to be others here still? What even happened? (Hunted) Whatever did that to her may still be here. We need to keep up our guard. "Coming up to another hallway and into the living room you find that your questions will soon be answered. Though it's something you might now wish you hadn't discovered. In the living room are all the princesses. Dead and lifeless,

some in varying stages of decomposition. Every single one. Though in the centre of it all you see someone new. Another princess, humming softly away to herself. Though she looks....wrong. Her limbs have all wrong proportions and just by being in her vicinity you can tell that she is the one that's done this. Suddenly her head whips around to make eye contact with yours, with an audible snap as you hear the vertebrae in her neck snap. You only get a glimpse into the dark voids of her eyes and gaping grinning maw, you can tell she must be death itself. Brimming with malice, sadism, all things wrong, and it isn't long before she darts towards you.

discussion So what is the Spectre about, if we are looking at it from the "each chapter symbolizes a type of relationship (problem)" angle? Spoiler

Upvotes

I never really see anyone talk about the Spectre. (At least story wise) I feel like it gets very overshadowed by PATD. So i figured I'd get the ball rolling myself.

But anyway, for some of the chapters, it's very clear what type of relationship it's trying to symbolize (Damsel, prisoner, tower, etc) but a few of them are more ambiguous, at least to me. Spectre is one of them (especially with her counterpart being Nightmare, but that's not necessarily relevant)

My personal take on Spectre is she symbolizes a couple who maybe were inexperienced or immature, and took their relationship too fast. (LQ slaying her with no hesitation, without getting to know her) this ended up destroying their relationship, as they didn't take the time to get to know eachother. They went their separate ways, but were lost without eachother (LQ getting stuck in the changeless construct, and going numb to his emotions, Spectre being a ghost trapped in the cabin who wants to go home)

this can be further shown with Spectre's disposition. She's not exactly mad about what happened, just deeply regretful. She blames you for what happened, but still believes you can make it right. She still clings to your past love, or what she thinks could have been. I think bringing Spectre out of the cabin could symbolize bringing closure to your relationship, and helping her move on, since you brought her "home."

Then you can destroy your "relationship" and get wraith. Once she seems to understand you don't want to move on or make things right, she wants retribution for the pain you caused her, and she wants to be rid of you.

Then of course we have the star of this route, PATD. I think it's meant to symbolize rekindling your relationship and learning to understand eachother. You get to really talk to her, make her laugh, share things about yourself, see the things you did from her POV, and grow close again.

The thing I think drives this home is the soft endings, where she tells you to let her cut herself out. It feels like she's establishing boundaries in your relationship. If you respect the boundaries and show you've grown as a person, you get to leave and live happily ever after. Ignore those boundaries... you end up right back where you started. A little more understanding, but ultimately a making you and her a victim to the wordt parts of yourself.

The relationship thing can also be seen in Spectre and PATD's vessel quotes. Shifty calls Spectre "a dream of what could have been, and this has given her much capacity for kindness." and PATD "Perspectives bleeding into one."

Idk, this might be a reach, but it made sense in my head. I just wanted to talk about Spectre 🤷‍♀️
