Oh this was meant to be a bigger post including ALL the chapter 1 princesses, following the categories of "survived" "killed" and "died", with the middle being a vague outlier compared to her counterparts. I just fucking love Slay the Princess so much what can I say!
Can't wait for the pristine cut I'm gonna be insane for so long

Wanted to make a screenshot redraw with my design of The Long Quiet, lol. Original inspo under the cut.

I think the Narrator really fucked up when it came to the idea of handling the Long Quiet’s sympathy.
Like, he was REALLY relying so hard on the Long Quiet obeying him without question, even when he’s not being an open resource of info. When comparing him to the Princess, who answers questions to the best of her ability and is otherwise initially candid, he seems the less trustworthy of the two, if only because he’s not good with the LQ doing things out of the box.
If he’d been really clever, he could have played into the idea of sacrifice; rather than dehumanizing the Princess and implying she has no personhood and shouldn’t be respected (he consistently uses her lack of humanity as an inherent reason why she should die, mocks her sanity and her memory, and tries to use even the neutral parts of her existence to justify her death), he should have acknowledged them and still pushed the LQ to do the “right thing” (“I know this is hard, but she shouldn’t have to suffer, so make her death quick and painless” or something like that)
But he hates the Princess so much that he wants the Long Quiet to hate her too. Too bad this is a love story.

Slay The Princess is a great game for when you want Jonny Sims to argue with Jonny Sims to argue with Jonny Sims to argue with Jonny Sims to argue with Jonny Sims to argue with Jonny Sims over some elaborate game of kiss marry kill

To me, the Voice of the Cold doesn’t strike me as “emotionless and completely logical all of the time,” because a lot of his advice that he gives the Player is GENUINELY illogical or just plain bad decision making: Cold often pushes the Player to make decisions based on impulsive judgements and snap decision-making. The other Voices all call Opportunist flaky and mock how he plays both sides, but Cold often does the same thing, except, instead of trying to appeal to the strongest person in the room to gather any power like Opportunist, Cold is motivated solely by what he thinks would be the most entertaining option, regardless of whether you live, die or suffer. Opportunist tries to at least appear to be a team player, while Cold doesn’t even bother.
In the Spectre Route, Cold’s first suggestions are VERY antagonistic, like trying to kill her a second time, or even just breaking her bones to see if she’ll disappear. But when the Spectre brings up the idea of possessing you, he’s IMMEDIATELY on board just because he wants to see the Narrator and the Spectre interact.
To me, Cold doesn’t feel like logic. He feels like a representation of impulsive thoughts, how he sort of just gives into whatever idea he becomes enamored by from a detached viewpoint of mild curiosity. Whenever he makes a suggestion, it’s interesting to the Player but ultimately detrimental to the Long Quiet’s wellbeing. Listening to Cold gets you more interesting results in the Routes, but also leads you into situations like the Greys, the Wraith, and the Spectre, which are all Routes that inevitably put the Long Quiet into distressing situations.
I feel like if he had his own body he’d be a very detached, disinterested person who only shows interest when something fascinates him, at which point he will ruthlessly try it out even if the consequences are negative for himself or others.
Did I mention he’s one of my favorites? I just love his character lol
