#Voice of the Contrarian

I've been thinking about this lately, so, here's my Slay the Princess ships and why I ship them:
Witch x Damsel, aka Sleeping Briars: There's just something that's so compelling about the two "fairytale" vessels---aka, a witch and your classic damsel in distress---who can both lead to some of the most romantic routes in the game. The dynamic between a devious little prankster who has serious trust issues and can't let anyone get close as a result and an adorable sweetheart who trusts everyone and falls in love way too fast is really interesting to me, and I think they'd actually be pretty good influences on each other.
Adversary x Razor: Two ladies who love fighting, bloodshed, and pain in general? The potential is right there. They're different enough that there's some dimension, but they're similar enough that their dynamic would be killer. Literally.
Spectre x Stranger: Honestly, I just think that they're both very charming and would probably get along really well, but there is something to be said about them being the two Vessels you get when you don't really give the Princess a chance---either if you kill her without hesitation and get Spectre, or if you refuse to even meet her and get Stranger. They're both lonely and scattered, and maybe they'd find something in each other.
Thorn x Wild (Wounded): There's something really sweet and intimate about two people who've hurt and been hurt finding comfort in each other. Idk, I think it's nice.
Burned Grey x Drowned Grey: It's... it's right there. The duality is right there. The wedding gown and the funeral gown, the fire and the water---it's right there.
Prisoner x Skeptic: This is really the only Voice/Vessel ship I've got on my list, and it's because in my opinion, it's the most grounded. Prisoner is arguably the most human out of all of the vessels, and Skeptic's whole thing of picking things apart and looking at everything from a different angle feels like a pretty reasonable response to the insanity of the construct. Her cynicism combined with his suspicious attitude could make for a really interesting dynamic, and I think they'd balance each other out well.
Contrahero: Come on. Come on. They're perfect. The first time I saw the Stranger ending, my head was already buzzing with "they're staying in the cabin? Together? Married couple! Married couple!" thoughts. I'm far from the only person in the fandom who sees how amazing the dynamic of the intrepid knight and the goofy little jester is.
Smitten x Cold: The dynamic between the dashing romantic who lives off of passion and feeling and the tired and quiet soul who seems to have cut himself off from emotion altogether is too compelling to ignore. The tension just writes itself.
Stubborn x Opportunist: While these two seem pretty different at first glance, I think the fact that both of them are voices who don't know when to quit speaks wonders as to how they might bounce off of each other. One of them solves problems through fists and fighting and the other solves problems through words and deceit---and I think that creates a pretty interesting duo.
Huntcheat: @tai-janai got me hooked. It's actually pretty damn adorable, I dunno what else to say.
(Also, Nightmare is aromantic in pretty much every one of my AUs, and Paranoid is aroace more often than not)

Skeptic wants no part in this.
I don’t know if this meme has a name, but I felt like doing it with the voices. I think it’s funny how you can literally see how I draw them change slightly over the course of the drawings, the hands especially.

Giving the Razor The Look in Chapter III: No Way Out specifically is very, very funny IMO because Contrarian will straight-up call either Broken or Paranoid out, depending on which of them you have with you:

ETA: Though there's also this if you flirt with her in Chapter III: The Arms Race specifically with Stubborn:

Cheated doesn't get this specific line anywhere other than in response to Stubborn's line here, which is kind of interesting!

My personal take on The Hero's design, as well as a few of the voices
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I always liked to imagine the voices were represented by little necklaces/charms that they would use as a vessel to speak through-mainly just because I like designing accessories. I might do more in the future, but for now here are my favorites!

Path Through the Woods: The Discordant
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Discordant is more than willing to let you leave, though his guidance and demands lead you to go in circles. He seems to be playing up a character, though his mask has cracks beneath the surface.
The Discordant represents the Voice of the Contrarian in Path Through the Woods. His foil is the Voice of the Splintered.

Working on a stp au, so take the designs of the protagonists: two dysfunctional and amnesiac detectives and their equally dysfunctional amnesiac client! This surely can't go horribly wrong!

voice bird designs + narrator
Hero, stubborn, and contrarian designs, helped by my friend @ieilaf
Hero is a bluebird
Stubborn is a cassowary
Contrarian is a crested penguin
The human versions were the initial designs of them but birds look cooler
Theres one drawing of smitten, he might come up for a future animatic (if i ever get to that)
