Thanks to everyones suggestions on birds for voices! It's taking me a while to line and color them, but here's a doodle for my favourite razor route moment:
Fun fact: In Barbatos's intimacy storyline in Nightbringer he ends up living with Solomon and MC at Cocytus Hall temporarily. Here's a highlight from his 40 intimacy call:
The way he makes Solomon sit in the corner. 😭 You cannot convince me he didn't raise this man.

Have you ever thought about how SomeStrange!Frisk and Knight!Chara would react to the player/Kris doing Snowgrave?
i don't know if chara would Care Much since they don't know kris or have any connection to the SOUL ? since knight chara is From the deltarune universe. maybe it'd be mad just in general that you went around killing* people, additionally people it maybe feels responsible for, assuming it opened that fountain. Frisk However Would Be So Pissed Probably. they came specifically FROM a true pacifist ending, you DID all the right things you GOT the happy ending, WHAT ARE YOU DOING !!!!!! THIS ISN'T YOU !!!!!! wait fuck actually hold on I had a thought. imagine they have kinda phantom memories of the no mercy run. like surely you didn't actually do that right. i mean, you reset. it's like it never happened haha. i barely remember. they won't either if you reset. you'll reset this right. i can forgive you. the story's not over yet i can still forgive you
After everything is over and they settled into their new mortal lives, the protagonist asks the princess about her name again. If it felt odd to not have one, or if she wanted to make one for herself now or just be The Princess.
To which she points out that not only does he not have a name either, but not even a title or anything he's mentioned going by!
Which prompts him to stare blankly at the wall for like a solid hour while the voices run amuck in his head, because how did he never realize he didn't have a fucking name??
Something I really love about The Smitten is how despite the fact that he's all talk about true love and genuine adoration he's... not at all about that. From his perspective, he's the dashing, dreamy heroic knight whose one mission is to rescue beautiful, pure, fair damsels in distress. To him, the princess isn't a person with her own personality and dreams and agency. She's an object he views as a trophy wife, a defenseless woman in need of saving, an idealised entity he can project his fantasies on.
And his route-- The Damsel route-- is such a good example of that. This route is the one route (that I know of) where the Princess is practically a blank slate. Where Thorn desperately craved connection, Adversary was itching for mutual rivalry and violence, Prisoner patiently waited for her freedom and Razour just joyfully chased the enjoyment of cutting us into pieces, the Damsel doesn't have anything to her outside of us. She's a helpless, obedient maiden whose only wants are what we want. She wants to destroy the world or she doesn't want to destroy the world or she doesn't care about the world depending on how we feel. This whole charade, no matter how much we want it to, is not about her. It's about us. Because she only exists as a contruction of our own wants. She isn't a person. She's an ideal. A blank canvas. Something to mold into whatever we want.
And that sense of security we felt, the trust we had in her and the image of the perfectly normal, genuinely innocent and real princess we met and fell in love with before the beginning of this route withered away and seeds of skeptisim were planted in its stead. And when we continued to press and push and question for her own desires or aspirations the illusion finally breaks, leaving us with the realisation that we never knew her at all. Because there was never anything to her from the start anyway.
slay the princess swap aus are precious things to me cuz it's where i get blessed to see how the long quiet will be able to hold his voices and say his thoughts on them with the same tenderness and care the shifting mound shows to her vessels in game
Here are some stp (slay the princess) drawings! We have a drawing of the princess from my favorite route, the razor (my pookie), my interpretation of the Long Quiet, and some of the voices :333 And yes, I know it’s “she skewers you, I just didn’t know how to draw it properly 😭😭
