boop

who knows if I'll ever draw a narrarian piece in which the narrator isn't annoyed

also drew a version with a bit of blush, but I think it's kinda cringe, ngl

a bit more blush

i'm not very good at this chat, i'm not used to shipping

*unshadows your art*

[arcane-darkling]

It’s time to slay her

[arcane-darkling]

You know what? Screw everything. NARRARIAN, GO!

[arcane-darkling]

Guys... I have a confession.

I actually kinda like the idea of The Narrator X Voice of The Contrarian... Narrarian?

Just think about it! Contrarian teasing the Narrator, and him being annoyed, but both having a hidden appreciation for the other? As someone that barely ships characters, I'm surprised I've seldom seen it.

Like, not even Platonic Narrarian? Come onnnn I need to see them interact! Where is the art? The fanfics?

Canonically, Contrarian likes the Narrator! He misses the guy in strange beginnings, likes the idea of resetting the timeline to see him again, heck, in Apotheosis he straight up says it out loud "Never knew how to shut up, that one. It's kind of why I liked Him so much."

Don't you see the vision? Guys? Anybody?

was inspired by @toadletthethird's post about Contra and math lol (dialogue made by them, I just drew it out and added Narry's little comment at the end)

feating a new texture I'm trying out just to add some ✨vibes✨ to my sketches

Chapter II: The Dial (Fan Princess)

(more info, chapter III and extra drawings below cut!)

Upon meeting the princess in Chapter I, the hero decides to stay inside the basement with her, in complete silence. However, the end of the world is inevitable, and he ends with it (Or so The Narrator says). That's when you arrive at Chapter II: The Dial.

"I've been waiting for you." Her voice is tired, yet composed. As you make your way downstairs, she appears almost mystical. Her dress is tattered, and her messy hair reaches the dusty floor. But what catches your attention the most is the constant ticking of clocks, all set to different times, and the hourglasses attached to her.

She tells you to sit down and wait, and maybe chat with her. If you wait with her for long enough, the sand in the hourglass will reach the bottom, and she will be free. She will make for a serene heart. Do not mourn her, this is the moment she was waiting for.

But, if you decide to slay her or cut her out despite her protestations, she will explode into a bunch of sand, quickly filling up the basement, then everything goes dark and you die.

Chapter III: The Sandstorm

You find yourself on a deserted path, the flying dust overwhelming you. You go to the cabin, expecting to find a safe place to hide. But to no surprise, the source of the Sandstorm is the princess herself. Approaching her is a difficult task, the fierce wind pulling you in the opposite direction, bombarding your eyes and lungs with dust.

Failing to reach her ends by she destroying what's left of the cabin. If you manage to, however, you'll get to have a chat with her. You have two choices: Hug her, making the storm calm down. This allows you to leave with her. Alternatively, you can "reach for her heart" and slay her, to which she's promptly taken away by Shifty.

I finally made a fan princess! After debating multiple names (from the clock, the hourglass, the ticking, and the eternal), I settled on the dial. I still think it's subject to change, but who knows.

Help me name my fan princess!

Hey, Slay The Princess fans! Any suggestions about what I should call my fan princess? Her current name is "The Dial" but I'm unsure about it. Here's a little sneak peek.

You'd get this princess by staying with her in the basement, without exchanging a single word. Eventually, the world ends, and you get to her chapter II. She will make for an awaiting heart. Slaying her makes her explode into a bunch of sand, and you're brought to The Sandstorm (also wip)

[arcane-darkling]
