A Damsel Pristine Cut Prediction

Alright, I have a theory for the leadup to Damsel’s Chapter Three. So, what information do we have on Chapter Three presently? Well, we already know it’s going to be depressing as all heck (Tony has mentioned that Abby's plan for the chapter would be very painful for both you and the Princess). We know that it will exist in relation to staying with her in the cabin. We know that there are heavily Romantic themes within the chapter. We know that one of Damsel’s primary themes is her lack of agency, so frightening in her Deconstruction and somewhat nervously endearing in her fairytale escape. So to recap, it will focus on Damsel and you staying together, it will focus on the Damsel’s lack of agency, and it will play into traditional Romantic tropes while simultaneously deconstructing them.

So the idea is that when Damsel declares her wish to leave, rather than simply deconstructing her, you deny her request. You declare that you will stay with her and live out your romantic destiny. While taken aback, she accedes to your request, as she always would. So you stay together in the basement, spending time with each other, maybe opening up new lines of dialogue. She would be acting odd throughout, clearly wanting to leave but also wholly devoted to you. If you say that you’d love to continue to be with her, then what does leaving really matter? She has you, what more could she want? But the drive to leave, to be free, it still tugs at her, to fulfill her purpose as a vessel.

She eventually works up the courage to ask you if you would be willing to leave yet. You could either agree and get the standard “Romantic Haze” ending, or continue staying with her, much to Hero’s chagrin. It feels uncomfortable to so disregard the Princess’s wishes for this life. Smitten, for his part, is so completely out of touch with reality that he genuinely believes that spending time with the Princess like this is something that she honestly wants, and is pushing for a continuation of the status quo. He wants the time with the Princess, he wants to take her and live out their life together, forever.

In response to your second denial, she is clearly hurt but also putting on a brave face. *For his sake.* She is happy, she tells herself. She is with the one she loves, she is willing to do whatever he wants. If being with him would make him happy, then that is what she will do. You unlock more dialogue with her. You talk and laugh and love each other. But the Damsel’s wishes still have been ignored, the one thing she wanted, taken from her. She, after sitting for a long while with you, declares affirmatively that it is her wish to leave. Once again, you can simply get your “Romantic Haze” and abort, or you can continue on and definitively say no. She accepts your wishes, a smile on her face as a tear rolls down her cheek (meant to be reminiscent of the Scorched Grey leadup).

The dialogue for you… shifts. It becomes more possessive, more controlling. More in tune with the player. The Hero, by this point, is fuming. He keeps telling you that this isn’t right, that this isn’t what she wants and that this needs to stop. You ignore him. You and the Damsel will be together, there will be nothing standing in your way. You lifting her, her lifting you, forever and ever. Consumed by true belief, there is absolutely nothing that will stop you. You are her guide, the one who knows what is best for her. She needs you and you need her.

Damsel, in one final effort, merely asks to go up the stairs, not to leave but simply to look out the window. To see the stars, to keep a grasp of what could have been. To have a dream. The game will allow you to say “no” as long as you want, but she will begin to deconstruct along that route, unless you allow her to go upstairs. You take her hand and the music swells as you take the stairs, and despite the bleakness of the moment, despite the fact that you will never leave, the moment is beautiful, seeing a smile upon her face that you have not in a long while, seeing the wonder of the outside world. She smiles, turns to you with tears filling her eyes.

“My dashing hero.”

“I’m sorry.”

She grabs the knife and begins to stab herself in a cruel reflection of Chapter One, apologizing to you all the while. She was incapable of living like this, incapable of being there for you and for that she is truly, genuinely apologetic. She is broken and tearful the whole while, and eventually, as the last flame of light exits her eyes, she dies, with a simple “I’m so sorry” exiting her lips. The Smitten immediately takes the blade to end his own life, both finally being together forever in the cabin. The Hero does not try to stop him this time.

Change is a two-way street.

(Is my favoritism towards the Damsel obvious enough, or?)

I imagine pre-Damsel Princess was pretty devastated #I read a really beautiful comment on an stp soundtrack video about the parallel between Damsel and Witch/Thorn #and how Damsel so felt guilty she wanted to give up her entire personhood and desires just to make Birdman happy #so this is very much inspired by that

You're on a path in the woods.

And at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a prince. You're here to slay him.

He will lie, he will cheat, and will do everything in his power to stop you from slaying him.

As soon as I saw “slay the prince au” tag, I knew I had to 👀

(also I saw the opportunity to draw beautiful men with long hair and I t o o k it 💥)

I colored in some princesses

Colors of Prisoner and Nightmare were based on posts from @17magpiesinatrenchcoat and @dmanix respectively! (sorry for the tag i just wanted to make sure)

thorn took the longest, razor took the shortest (which is funny bc theyre tied for my fave of these)

I specifically made razor still uncolored despite coloring the background just to add to her weird uncanny vibe

I think Skeptic and Smitten are actually true opposites and it’s part of why we never see them in a route together on their own. Skeptic is skepticism and Smitten is blind devotion, and those two concepts cancel each other out.

Think about it: our perspective of the Princess alters what she becomes. Damsel is a harmless and soft Princess Classic with no deeper world because the Smitten views the Princess as a harmless victim that can do no wrong and loves him back. The Prisoner is more complex because Skeptic IMMEDIATELY pegs her as someone more calculating, intelligent, but also capable of reasonable discussion. He’s willing to hear her out or side with her, but not without hearing out all sides.

Smitten and Damsel are star crossed lovers defying an evil Narrator that wants to tear them both apart. Skeptic and Prisoner are two hostages who realize that they need the others assistance to escape someone whose trying to pull the wool over both their eyes (also the Narrator).

And even funnier, BOTH are correct ways to interpret our relationship with the Princess!

But it’s hard to picture any sort of resolution between these two ideas because they are nearly contradictory because of the Pristine Blade; you either side with the Narrator initially or the Princess.

This could also be why Cold and Smitten don’t cancel each other out. Cold doesn’t hate the Princess, he just feels NOTHING towards her. He only shows up organically if we take advantage of her in a vulnerable state to kill her as quickly as possible. That’s why he only appears in states where the Princess is already “dead” in the Player’s view, like the Spectre, the Greys, and the Wraith. Cold’s only opinion of the Princess is “dead”, and that trait doesn’t contradict the opinions the other Voices may have.

Slay the princess swap au part 11

(Smitten/damsel route)

Can’t wait to take a lot of time drawing the burned grey route version of him (not even being sarcastic I have so many ideas)

Cw: you stab him, he dies, that should explain enough

Congratulations you can killed a bird next part you kill your self and you’ll see the voice of the witch 💪 (idc if it should be he spectre cus she swapped the cold but she would not behave that way, although some stuff has changed I want to keep the personalities of everyone pretty similar but tweaked)

Thing I’m pretty sure I haven’t mentioned that I want to is the claws are long because in the last chapter of you try to kill the monster but warn him you see the claws are super long, the smitten, the hunted, and the opportunist all will have long claws since the princess in this version saw the monster slice its leg trying to escape the bear trap and in the og game the princess got more animalistic if you saw her chew on her wrist(not the damsel though but I wanted to keep a consistent thing with the smitten opportunist and hunted)

i've been thinking a lot about shifting mound's damsel lines from when you fight her. they're very clever.

"your lover drives a stake into your body. and another, and another, and another. do i miss your heart because i can't stand to see it go?"

"but the stakes meant nothing to you. you had a desire, and you set that desire free, you lifting me and me lifting you, forever and ever and ever. consumed by true belief, there was nothing that could hold us back."

the wordplay here is insane; the double meaning of stakes, the double meaning of miss. god the writing of this game is phenomenal.

might be my favourite line out of all the vessels. moment of clarity's is definitely a close second though, and honourable mention to wraith if you don't struggle and free her, the greys and the witch. still haven't gotten the "there are no endings" ending because i LOVE fighting the shifting mound solely because of her lines.

prisoner and damsel doodles <3

[ these were done by memory, but some stylistic choices were giving them both stubble n shorter hair, and the damsel having slit pupils ]
