#I need more Maps!!!!

[mysteriesgalplusdamianthings]

New Chapter!

There wasn't much we saw of Maps in this chapter. But I love the change of art design. It's so much smoother and cleaner than the previous books.

But what I noticed was that there is something strange interfering with Maps signal. I'm not sure what it is, but Maps is determined to stay and help no matter what.

Also, it's pretty ominous how she said, "That field, where the battle always is..." Maps knows what's about to happen next, clearly. And it doesn't sound like it'll end too well.

On another note, Maps isn't interfering too much outside of assisting the team in a few battles. Is this due to some law/rule of time travel? Is she not supposed to interfere extensively with history?

These are questions I need answered.

This page was definitely a highlight. Seeing Maps take on Wonder Woman wasn't something I thought we'd ever see happen.

I wish we saw more of her combat, but it seems she possesses a gun that shoots out electricity/lightning that deals damage to her enemies. There are probably other cool features about that device, but we're not likely going to see much of it here, sadly. This is why she needs her own comics series as Meridian.

Maps and Cass teaming up would be so cool! I could see them in future time lines working together. Especially since this isn't their first time teaming up.

I really enjoy looking at this still from Slay the Princess:

In the midst of all the weird imagery from the first part of the Stranger route, you see for a moment—and it is cut off at the end, so I had to be quick with my screenshot—every route laid out in front of you, paired up as the game does elsewhere, and described, interestingly enough, from what I can only believe is the Voices' perspectives, or perhaps the relationship between the Princess and the Voice of a given route.

Consumption: The Beast (Hunted), the ribcages in the bottom right. Being eaten, alive or half so, is one way or another the outcome you face in the Beast. This one seems to be the least connected to its route's Voice, though I can still see it in a relational sort of way. Betrayal: The Witch (Opportunist), the nail-studded... I can't tell what it is, but it's at the top left. Betrayal on your part is the cause of the Witch's route, and it too is inevitable in some form once you're on that route—the Opportunist is very vocal about it.

Skepticism: The Prisoner (Skeptic), the chains at the bottom. Pretty clear analogue given the name of the Voice, but not to neglect—you reach the Prisoner by taking the blade (distrust of the Princess) but ultimately using it to free the Princess (you take the time to think critically about what you're being asked to do, and decide the Narrator is less trustworthy). Blind devotion: The Damsel (Smitten), the... I can only imagine locks of hair at the top. You reach the Damsel by immediately and wholly assuming she has no ill intentions, an attitude made manifest in the Smitten.

Rivalry: The Adversary (Stubborn), the spikes to the left. The Adversary route is, so long as you embrace it, about your probably-a-metaphor-for-sex-I-mean-the-Eye of the Needle-isn't-even-trying-to-veil-it eternal fight with the Adversary, with the Stubborn in strong support. Submission: The Tower (Broken), the stone columns to the right. One of the most clear-cut "this is about the Voice" examples—the Broken has completely submitted to the Tower's will, even though the player still has a few chances to resist her.

Terror: The Nightmare (Paranoid), the eyes in the upper right. Of course, the Nightmare is all about fear, and the Paranoid is the embodiment of your fear of the Princess—the fear that made you lock her in the basement and the fear that stopped your heart when she broke free. Longing: The Spectre (Cold), the wisps in the bottom left. This one is interesting, and almost made me second-guess my "Voices" reading, as the Spectre herself is clearly a creature of longing—but then what about "Submission?" The Tower is not "submitting" to anything. That's her whole deal. Perhaps this one is connected to your desire for something other than what the Narrator calls the "Good Ending..." or perhaps it has something to do with the Cold's interest in feeling something, which he expresses in a few routes (the Greys being the most obvious).

Pain: The Razor (Cheated,) the spikes at the top. She skewers you, and you die. Over and over again she skewers you, and you die, and it is painful over and over again. I'm not sure I have much to add to this one. Unfamiliarity: The Stranger (Contrarian), the abstract DNA-like strand at the bottom. You reach the Stranger by refusing to interact with the Princess, leaving her an unfamiliar blank slate whose actions you cannot predict and thus fracture into every possible image of her.

And at the heart of it all, an emotion that can only be described as—what? The Narrator doesn't get the chance to finish his sentence before you wake up in the Prisoner's basement, but I'd think the answer is obvious once you've finished the game.

After all, this is a love story.

bioware really said "i made this whole ass cool as fuck last second reveal in absolution that gives dreadwolf so much potential, so help me if y'all say dragon age 2 is a bad game that can just be skipped in the triology ONE MORE TIME I WILL SEND MEREDITH TO BEAT YOUR ASS-" and honestly that is so correct of them

"I loved you like the sun."

[[I did a style study of @alenseress and tried to emulate his artstyle (especially to learn from his line and expression work) :] I'm a stubborn single brush user and this is helping me break out ]]

Geto: “Instead I made a bed with apathy. My heart knew the weight. Ten years worth of dust and neglect. We made our peace with weariness and let it be.”

Gojo: “I want to feel the fire that you kept from me.”

if you're insane put this on shuffle, I swear by it:

Those are maybe not epic, but I think those are nice moments and maybe you will want to draw it :3

I think these screenshots are great actually I had a lot of fun collaging together a lot of the elements! Thank you!!
