“Look, don’t you get it?! I screwed up! I mean, for two seconds, I thought that maybe I could do something right, but — !”

PROMPTS FOR THE BIG MISUNDERSTANDING *  assorted dialogue for that trope i really hate but you know what, sometimes it's good to explore this stuff even if it makes me mad, adjust as necessary

i overheard you talking earlier.

do you actually love me, or was that a lie, too?

you made me fall in love with you.

you were lying to me this whole time.

i never meant for you to hear that.

oh, i know what you said. you don't need to explain it.

when were you going to tell me the truth?

i just said those things! i don't know what came over me!

so now i know the truth.

this is what i get for trusting you.

i never lied about how i felt.

you're making a big mistake.

i opened myself up to you, and this is how you treat me?

go. i don't want to look at you anymore.

you lied to my face.

you don't need to explain anything. i heard the truth.

i get it. i'll just slow you down.

this was never supposed to happen this way.

look, i'm sorry. can we please talk about this?

you could have been honest with me from the start.

what was this, some kind of game?

i didn't lie about that!

that was your plan all along, wasn't it?

you think you can just walk in, play with my heart, and leave?

you manipulated me this whole time.

now i see you for what you really are.

none of that is true, and you know it.

why won't you give me a chance to explain?

that's all i needed to know.

i was so stupid trusting you.

i never should have listened to you.

that's not what i said!

i was just saying those things to get [name] to leave!

you made it very clear where you stand.

might be better if i just leave now.

you never wanted me around anyway.

so this was all a game to you?

how did you hear that? who told you?

yes, i lied to you, but i didn't mean for it to get this far!

i didn't mean any of it!

and all this time, i thought you actually loved me.

what a fool i was to trust you.

the longer you stand there, the angrier i get.

i'm walking out of here, and i'm never coming back.

nothing you could say right now would make me change my mind.

oh, i heard you. i heard everything.

[name] told me you were lying.

i know what really happened. you can stop pretending.

were you ever going to tell me the truth, or were you planning on stringing me along forever?

so that's it? you're just leaving?

did you really mean what you said, or was that a lie too?

everything is called into question.

i didn't lie about my feelings for you.

as much as i'd love to believe you, i can't. not anymore.

they were right about you all along.

when they warned me about you, i didn't believe them.

i never want to see you again.

please pack your things.

Slay the Princess starters

feel free to change pronouns and terminology as needed.

"I know you want to kill me, but has anyone ever told you how gorgeous you are?"

"Well. There's no reasoning with a god, even one you've woven into existence yourself."

"Like I said: I don't make the rules, no matter how much I wish I did."

"I am what I am. It's not my fault that you can't handle being around me."

"But if we've already saved the world, then why does it matter if we die? Why do you care?"

"I cannot tell you what desires I will hold when I change. But in this moment, all I want is to know myself, and to know you."

"Nah, impossibly high stakes make the fight so much better."

"And there you are. Are you here to kill me or something?"

"You needed help, after all. An objective voice to guide your blade. But you were never supposed to see me."

""I'm not going to stop doing my job, so you're just going to have to get better at yours. And quickly, if you don't mind."

"Those paths lead to worlds you've already seen, and to perspectives I have already made my own. They are useless to us now. Inaccessible. The only paths of value are those that are yet untread."

"All of me is changing, and yet the rest of me is still the same."

"There's a cruel irony to it all: the only way I could share my dream with the world was to never be able to see it for myself."

"It changes me, but it doesn't make me worse, nor does it make me care for you any less. Does it make you worse? Do you resent me?"

"Yes, take a deep breath. I'm all for getting under his skin, but we'll miss out on loads of fun if we shrivel up into a ball and go insane the first time we see something weird."

"You ask of things that cannot be done. To destroy is merely to reshape. To remold."

"She asks that I tell you to remember her. You won't."

"There is still much to be seen. Neither of us know the depths of our being. Perhaps at the end of this, I will be the one to kill you. Or perhaps we will leave this place together and find new horizons to discover."

"The blade is your implement. You'll need it if you want to do this right.

"If you need time, then I will wait with you."

"What you're seeing here is obviously real. Just accept it and go with the flow! It really isn't hard."

"You are as I am now, and forever is long time to remain undone. I am not you, but I know that I would return before forever is finished."

"I'm almost embarrassed. I should've seen that coming. Do you actually believe this was enough to kill me?"

"You are the only thing I have ever known."

"And I believe your other question was something along the lines of 'what's the point of doing anything?' If you're asking that, it sounds to me like you're making the rather dangerous assumption that your actions last time around didn't have any consequences."

"A person. A set of eyes witnessing from one perspective. I think that you are more like me than you are like a person. We are shallow oceans reduced to creeks."

"If anything, it makes me like you more. And I don't know what that says about me."

"My roots burrow in an ocean beyond your sight. We cannot harm each other as we are now."

"What are you waiting for? You are here to rescue me, right?"

"Causality doesn't matter here, because the end result is the same no matter what led us up to this point. It's no use arguing over a metaphorical chicken-or-egg because the egg is hatched, and it's about to ruin everything."

"I am solitary lights in an empty city. What are you?"

"I don't know anything about you. For all I know, you're locked up there for a reason."

"Good. It's better that way. Without a fight, no one can win, and if no one can win, then nothing has any meaning."

"An eye for an eye. A life for a life. I guess we're even now. See you around."

"A warning, before you go any further: she will lie, she will cheat, and she will do everything in her power to stop you from slaying her. Don't believe a word she says."

"You are familiar, but you are not me. I feel sadness, longing, and hope as I witness you."

"Will you place the images of 'you' and 'I' into a box for safekeeping? If you close that box, will you become another you in another world; an imaginary pattern repeating itself until it can no longer bear the weight of its own hand-drawn cage?"

"If anything, slaying a princess is much better than slaying a seamstress. Seamstresses contribute something of value to society."

"You speak in circles. Does it matter where one thing begins and another ends?"

"No wonder things have fallen apart. You do realize that every time you fail, she escapes and an entire world is damned to destruction, right?"

"Hi! It looks like you don't have a way out, so I'm not going to play dumb anymore. But don't worry about how bad you did last time. That's part of the fun!"

"Oh? Is that how it is? Yeah, okay, I feel that. I like you too. Neat! Still going to kill you, but now we can both enjoy a mutual romantic subtext to the murder!"

"Is the child the same as an infant? I am an unbroken pattern, but every vessel gifts fresh perspectives and carves new avenues of expression. 'I' am different, but I am the same. The vessels are a weave of emotion at odds with themselves, but they are only perspectives. They are not me."

"If I am to be an ocean, you have given me enough to fill a pond. My waters are shallow and murky, and I yearn for more perspective. I will transcend in due time, and there is no way forward but to contribute to my awakening."

"I think you know what I am."

"With every gift you bring me, I excavate the alleys of what I meant to be, and every exploration yields new and complicated truths. What I will become is different than what I am, and what I am is different than what I was."

"I know you're still there. Why don't you make things a little easier on yourself and let me out? It's not like this little door will hold for very long anyways… and it's probably a good idea to try and get back on my good side."

"I am a growing chorus of contradiction. A mass of tides ebbing and flowing all at once in more direction than my attention can bear to hold. To look at any one is to shift them all into something new, and to look away is to reshape them yet again."

"She would never. She's a perfect angel that you have cruelly imprisoned as part of some convoluted, dastardly scheme."

"I wasn't supposed to see all this, was I?"

"As far as you're concerned, and as far as they're concerned, I'm going to say and do whatever I have to in order to get out of here. That's just the dynamic of our situation."

"Have you considered that maybe I'm not okay with the world ending?"

"Whatever you do, just be sure to ignore him specifically. It sounds like he's the sort who would sacrifice the whole world for a peck on the cheek."

"I just want to make you happy!"

"These gifts are a conversation, and each one shows me the contours of your heart. The only thing I want to see is what you choose for me when the thread is fully drawn."

"Spoken with the rank cynicism of someone who has never felt love in their heart!"

"Every time I ask you something, it's like a piece of you breaks. Does it hurt when pieces of you break off like that?"

"I wonder how many worlds you've damned to extinction to fall this far."

“Nothing like a brush with death to make you… not like death much.”

“Just so you know, if the king ever asks me to put on a dress and dance the Remigold, I’m drawing the line.“

“Now that the warm and fuzzy part of the day is over we can get back to the ritual dismemberments. Oh wait, it’s not Tuesday is it?”

“Have you ever licked a lamp post in winter?”

“What? Lead? Me? No, no, no. No leading. Bad things happen when I lead. We get lost, people die, and the next thing you know I’m stranded somewhere without any pants.”

“Watch as I thrash our enemies with the mighty power of floral arrangements!“

“You’re the first woman/man/person I’ve ever spent the night with, and if I have my way you’ll be the last.“

“I love stories far too much to keep them to myself. Everyone should benefit from them, I think.”

“Oh, this looks fun! I bet we’ll have to work together and join hands and sing a happy song to get across!”

“The only way out of this game is to kill or be killed.”

“Change is coming to the world. Many fear change and will fight it with every fiber of their being. But sometimes, change is what they need the most. Sometimes, change is what sets them free.”

“You look upon the world around you and you think you know it well. I have smelled it as a wolf, listened as a cat, prowled shadows that you never dreamed existed.”

“Men are always willing to believe two things about a woman: one, that she is weak, and two, that she finds him attractive.”

“Now we threaten priests? How fun!”

“Some doors should never be re-opened.“

“’Tis a curious thing. I do not know how else to describe it.”

“If you’ve ever heard of me before, it’s probably all been about how I piss ale and murder little boys who look at me wrong. And that’s mostly true…”

“Misery, vomit and malt liquor. Ah, reminds me of home.”

“By the tits of my ancestors!”

“Shave my back and call me en elf!”

“I wish people wanted to share me more often. Especially the ladies. I want more ladies to share me.”

“Aye. I’ve tried twenty-seven different types of ale and learned I’m just the right height to give a human girl a good time. That doesn’t make me a good man.”

“I wonder what it is like to float…or drown.”

“Oooh, Shiny!”

“Now, let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?”

“So? What does it think? I don’t look any wider, do I? I find I am already too wide as it is.“

“Either you have an enviable memory, or a pitiable life, to know nothing of regret.”

“I am a simple creature. I like swords, I follow orders. What else is there to be puzzled by?”

“Happiness is fragile. Nothing can be built upon it that will last. Only duty endures.”

“Where is the cake? I was told there would be cake. The cake is a lie.”

“To be fooled by the world is unfortunate: By oneself, is deadly.”

“The enemy waits. Shall we grant him the death he asks of us?”

“I will not lie motionless in a bed with coverlets up to my chin, waiting for death to claim me.”

“I’m not the sort of person that leaves things unfinished. I’ll see this through, I promise.”

“You’d think one would find a less perilous place to explore.”

“People fear, not death, but having life taken from them. Many waste the life given to them, occupying themselves with things that do not matter. When the end comes, they say they did not have time enough to spend with loved ones, to fulfill dreams, to go on adventures they only talked about… But why should you fear death if you are happy with the life you have led, if you can look back on everything and say, ‘Yes, I am content. It is enough.’”

“Now that we’re in an intimate relationship I think maybe I should tell you where babies come from.”

“Love is ultimately selfish. It demands that one be devoted to a single person, who may fully occupy one’s mind and heart, to the exclusion of all else.”

“Planning has never been my strong suit. Now, killing…killing and love-making. Killing and love-making and witty retorts. Those I am better at.”

“Can you smell that? Like rotting flesh. Just like back in the City. Now if only you could find me a prostitute or two, a bowl of fish chowder and a corrupt politician, I’d really feel like I was home!”

“We all do our share of murdering around here, don’t we?”

“You tend to get up to interesting things. You meet interesting people and then you kill them. I’m game to tag along, if you are.”

“Let’s see… when was the last time I slipped my hand into some dark hole? Hmmm… I remember. Long story, that.”

“In truth, for the chance to be by your side I would storm the Dark City itself. Never doubt it.”

“We need absolute unity to fight against the fulcrum of true evil.”

“Your father made me swear on his deathbed you would not succeed him.”

“Kings, politics…all that is transitory.”

“Good to have you along the road.”

“Something you need? I’m sure either my boy or I can help you out.”

“Are you sure I can’t interest you in this hat? A pair of earrings perhaps? A cheese knife?”

“I hope your compassion hasn’t doomed us all.“

“She’ll put us all in the pot, she will. Just you watch.”

“I am a fly in the ointment. I am a whisper in the shadows. I am also an old, old woman. More than that you need not know.”

“You are required to do nothing, least of all believe. Shut one’s eyes tight or open one’s arms wide, either way, one’s a fool.”

“Be always aware… or is it oblivious? I can never remember.”

“Men’s hearts hold shadows darker than any tainted creature.”

“Weeks of scant food and water, the torture… oh, I’ve never felt better!“

“We should seize moments of levity, especially in troubled times.”

“Ah, I’m sure we’ll be at each other’s throats again in no time.”

“There is no glory in this!”

“I’m not a coward, but this is foolish and reckless. We should go back.”

“They’ll take everything that I am from me– my dreams, hopes, fears… My love for you. All gone…”

“Am I not allowed to have regrets?”

“I have known pain and love, hope and fear, all the joy that is life. Yet of all things I desire nothing more than an end.”

“I prefer to be known as a just and compassionate king. ‘Strong’ too often comes to mean ‘tyrannical’.”

“Maker spit on you… I deserved… more…”

“Well, well. You little spitfire. All grown up and still playing the man.”

“Be firm in your beliefs, protect people from their own ignorance, and be as loyal as you can to your brothers, even knowing that you’ll share their deaths.”

“Nothing you have done has prepared you for what you face now.”

“Oh…you mean, am I married? I…no. No, I’ve never had the pleasure. If I did, I’d be lucky to find a woman as lovely as yourself.”

“My retribution is eternal, spirit, as is my pain. This is justice, no more.”

“You, you seem like a smart sort.“

“I’ve got a job and you’re helping me.”

“Booze an’ adventure sounds about right!“

"Whoa, dizzy for a moment there… how’d I get here?“

"You should learn your place. Meek, subservient, quiet.”

“You’re a light in this dark place.”

“Girl, you are wonderful. Thank you.”

“Take my advice friend: stay away from Storytellers, never know what they’ll say…”

“Some of us don’t match the bard-spy fetish. Like me, pretending I know the lute.”

“We are always in battle. It is only that some of us do not always realize it.”

“Do you ever wish you could have the freedom to piss anywhere you wanted without being stared at?”

“Phew! Am I bleeding? Oh look, a rip in my clothes.”

“I’m not going to die am I!?”

“Why is everything so complicated!?”

“We’re alive!”
