I'm sorry to bother you, but can we get more little drawings of your avatar. Everytime I see them on my dash my day gets a little brighter.
Oh you’re not bothering lil ol’ me! Have some Bloob doodles, they’re fresh outta the oven!
"I was sent here to slay you. I'm told you will end the world if I don't."
The Narrator:
Why are you telling her that!?
"Huh...? But... No, I save worlds. I don't end them. I'm a hero. Who told you that?"
Voice of the Prince:
Okay, so, two very different points of view here.
The Narrator:
She is lying, she has never saved a world in her life. I told you she would lie, and this is a very obvious situation to do so in.
Voice of the Prince:
If someone told me I will end the world, I'd deny it, too.
The Narrator:
Exactly. Anything to save your skin and absolve you of blame. It is the same with her. She is not going to agree.
"I would never want to end the world. I mean... I live here. And I'm not evil or anything."
Voice of the Prince:
Right, she doesn't seem evil.
The Narrator:
It is not a matter of whether or not she wants to, because she always will, if you don't slay her. She could be the most heroic woman in the world and the task would still be here.
The Narrator:
But she is not. She is willing to damn the world, and everyone in it, to oblivion for no reason. You cannot let that happen.
Should I get into The Magnus Archives?
There's a lot of episodes it's kinda intimidating
But I finished a 35+ hour gameplay in less than a week so maybe I can Finish this
Thinking about how the Narrator doesn't really know if the world stays saved when we die, and yet in some cases He tries to reassure/console us during our 'last moments'.
"You've paid a terrible price, but you've saved us all." He doesn't know that. Maybe He's just trying to describe it into existence, hoping that if you die with the thought, it'll become true? But in other times, He's sure that our death means doom for whatever world we've left behind. "The world doesn't stay saved if you die." Then why tell us that we've saved it?
I also think it's interesting how emotional Narrator gets by the end of each chapter 1. He treats us differently based on our actions and how we approach the situation.
If we try and save the Princess, he purposely makes our death as long and painful as he possibly can, presumably, out of pure spite. "It is agony. But you aren't dead yet." "She sinks the blade into your chest again, and again, and again... and you feel every inch of burning pain that slices itself into your body."
If we resist his instructions at first, but give in later, he seems genuinely apologetic. "This can't actually be how everything ends..!" "I'm sorry, but it is." or "As much as I'd preferred for things to have gone differently, I can't deny the reality of what has happened." He wants this to work, and he wants us to come out happy and content by the end of it.
He seems caught off guard in the Spectre route if we try to kill her while she's in our body. "Slay her would slay you. Are you sure you're willing to do that?" One would expect Him to immedietly be on board with whatever plan gets rid of Her, but the "heroic"(in His eyes) gesture immedietly makes Narrator develop a soft spot and start to worry for our well being. He doesn't like the idea of the hero being denied their happy ending.
He genuinely believes the Princess to be a manifestation of everything evil in the world and constantly denies her any personhood. It's not an active choice either, as Narrator is an Echo with a set amount of beliefs that cannot be changed. He never changes His mind about anything and one of His core beliefs is that He is right. He has to be, otherwise everything he'd done, everything he went through, it would all be for nothing.
That which was once a defensive thought, shaped by his own hurt and unwillingness to see another perspective, becomes a universal truth.
Narilamb crack idea where lamb is a poor unfortunate sailor stuck on an island after a shipwreck and Narinder is the siren/seamonster circling the island attempting (unsuccessfully) to lure them into the water so he can eat them.
Over the course of time they end up bonding, and after multiple failed murder attempts on Narinder’s part he realizes that he’s stopped seriously hunting them, its more like a game between them at that point (lamb still assumes he would eat them if they fell in, though.) He eventually does catch them, but to lamb’s surprise, he lets them go.
Anyway that’s all I got for now but I am Thinking Thoughts
Whole-heartedly BEGGING writers to unlearn everything schools taught you about how long a paragraph is. If theres a new subject, INCLUDING ACTIONS, theres a new paragraph. A paragraph can be a single word too btw stop making things unreadable
PLATONIC INTERPRETATIONS OF CHARACTER DYNAMICS ARENT ANY LESS VALID THAN ROMANTIC ONES PELASEE
Took a few days but BEHOLD MORE NARI ANGST/WHUMP
Was thinking about trod Narinder being secretly in love with Lamb the whole time and the fact that Narinder most definitely has trust issue and fears of being mortal now
So with those two trains of thought combined, I wanted to explore… other hidden feelings he might have towards the lamb… 👀💧
Eat well, my flock, Cult of Nari Babygirls tm 🤲
opportunist when I catch you opportunist

Cold and his Intrusive thought.
Hero to the rescue.
They're all so fluffy!
Slay the Princess stuff. I'm so normal about these voices.
Fun Facts (down there)
All voices have scars of how Long Quiet died on first chapter. (well most of scar they could get), except Hero.
Broken's tears won't stop flowing.
Oppie always hide his death scars on his chest all the time with his arms. doesn't dare showing his weakness.
Smitten have his eyes close all the time. as in "blind" devotion.
Oppie and Cheated doesn't like hug, They are afraid of getting backstabs, but is comfy enough with Hero. (They need it.)
you know what i mean
need people to stop calling long quiet/shifting mound toxic. guys you are missing the point. this is not a toxic relationship. the only reason the horrible things happened was because the narrator took something that was never supposed to be separated and ripped it apart and the two halves clawed their way back to each other. its not toxic murder partners its not theyre obsessed with the cycle of violence. the point is BREAKING the cycle of violence. the point is that the love is there, its not always strong enough to stop the hurting but its always there. its about loving people even when theyre messy. its about conflict making people stronger and helping them understand every piece of each other. its about inextricable connections between people, souls, concepts. the relationship between them alone goes so far beyond "toxic cycle of violence lovers" and it drives me CRAZY to see people saying thats what the game is about because even JUST the relationship is not about that and the game in its entirety is about so much more. stop calling it toxic love. thats not what it is. you are missing the point.

I love seeing people’s picrew art styles because you can just look at them and be like
“You read homestuck and it was a big part of your life for a few years, you’re not into steven universe but you did watch it, and you had an intense black butler phase in middle school and doodled their eyes over and over again in your spiral notebooks”
the way fandoms are desperate to make all aroace characters romance and sex positive but then dont do anything remotely similar to any other identity is astounding. hmm i wonder why
PLEASE dont derail this about shipping characters of other identities please let this one post be about an aroace struggle
Got reallllly good photos of my leshy cosplay done!

what I find very interesting about the narrator's choice of reward - ie. an eternity of supposed bliss inside the cabin - is that while it seems on its surface just another instance of him projecting his desires onto you, it actually isn't. he himself probably thinks that he would desire an unchanging eternity like the one in the cabin, but...
when he is talking about his reasons for wanting to remove death from the world, his focus is almost entirely on connections to others. he talks about the greater good, having loved ones, wanting better for them. it's those connections that drive him to submit to death in the hope of defeating it. he is definitely selfish, but if he was totally selfish, he wouldn't have been able to do that. he believes his own death is a worthy sacrifice for the continued existence of his world. his vision of an ideal eternity, as he describes to you, is one where connections are endlessly and joyfully rediscovered.
in his ideal ending, you've killed off the only being you could ever meaningfully connect to. and this is one of the main reasons his plan dooms itself. who could bear the weight of an eternity alone? not him, certainly.
knock knock. hands u a Voice of the Paranoid and runs away
?
!
Thank you, Oddy
He just wants to learn more about his object of affection (in a very roundabout way because god forbid we communicate on the cult grounds).
That’s Namer btw, a reddish fox I assigned to the drink house after seeing him in the little hat.
“I don’t know what my goals are, no. Thanks for asking.”
are you alright? you haven’t really been radio silent but you haven’t really been active either, i’m just checking on you
I’m alive, I was thinking of making an actual fan game of the swap au so ppl could actually play it instead of just see it. Which does require some knowledge of coding which I’ve been working on. Don’t worry I’ve not stopped at all on the project just refocusing it to be playable. Which will take a while. 😊
