A spoon's only objective in life is to make soup go upwards, and it knows this. That's why when you put one under a running tap it blasts the water way high. The spoon thinks there's suddenly TONS of soup to deal with and it freaks out.

Ya think xyx would enjoy the fun activity of hunting sea urchins to snack on?
Of course I had to draw him from the birthday illustration by robobarbie
In a world full of instant gratification.. may we never lose sight of the natural cycles of life.. how the moon takes its time to be full or how the crops take their time to harvest..
May we slow down & just be present..
I thought so many things & never said a single one aloud. I choked on such longing I couldnāt spit out. Yes, desire is so different when God bore you hungry. I could have devoured anything and still have been starving.

Astarion sneakily getting a peek of Tav's sketchbook to see multiple drawings of the same guy and he's like "ooooh someone has a crush š" and then Tav just kinda has to sit there like "haha yeah sure do š³"
This is just such a funny concept to me lmao
He takes a look at the drawings and is like ".... is he a vampire too...?" Everyone else is just trying not to fuckin burst out laughing
yes ! definitely agree 100% on the sentiment that stp does a great job at portraying traits to be neutral. even in the way the shifting mound chooses her words, there's a noticeable neutrality in which she views and describes her vessels' experiences. it was something that really stuck with me when i was watching a therapist playing the game and pointing it out !
I think what Iām seeing with the Slay The Princess fan base is that not enough people recognize that ALL the voices are a neutral force. Both positive and negative in their own ways.
Iāve seen people talk about Smitten showing love just as a thing, and I just saw a post talking about Paranoid needing to be written in fan content with his more negative side as well as his capabilities, but itās actually like that for all of them! The voices are, quite literally, reflections of The Long Quietā and they are their definition in every way it can be.
Smitten loves, and sometimes that love happens to hurt because he just wants whatās best for the Princess but she wants the same for tlq so it spirals and no one is happy.
I was thinking about Hunted, especially in the Den, where he is instinct and that instinct is to survive, but when he sees someone else also fighting to survive, he looks out for them and works as a team.
Cold is notorious for brushing off any emotions and with the mirror he will tell the decider that you donāt need to comfort the other voices. But heās pushing for numbness so that it hurts less, so that you can handle it easier, so you arenāt paralyzed by guilt or by the decisions you have to make.
Opportunist is constantly changing his mind, trying to be on the āwinningā side, and this causes him to be a jerk, pull the knife on the princess when it suits him and if you donāt want to hurt the princess heāll then try to play it off. But heās also got ways to keep you safe, know when something will turn on you because thatās what he would do, and he just wants the safety and security.
I could write them all out to be honest, but itās about just taking their names at face value because that is literally what they are, and Slay the Princess does a really damn good job at portraying these traits as completely neutral. And itās a game about perception, so depending on what choices you make, these neutral traits will seem more positive or negative, and I really think thatās a great message that can be done so so well and I honestly love it.
