Thought about making a fan-chapter for Slay The Princess as well but what the hell could I even say. I fear all the beats of a heart have already been spelled out in the night sky.
#like whenever i see a coolass fan Princess I'm like 'hmmm Perhaps i should make one'#and then I go 'oh wait i have nothing to say'#like...the way I see my childhood? The Tower/Apotheosis already exists and so does The Fury#the way I perceive the world and social interactions and the way it influences my perception of myself? The Cage and The Razor are#already in the game. So is The Thorn.#the way I exist as a product with no inner self; simply a service that can't keep its eyes off the social clock?#yeah well Damsel and HEA are already in the game too.#literally nothing left for me to say. i don't have a perspective to add i fear.#like i COULD but it'd be largely intersecting with HEA. because the only thing i can think to add is Sternberg's#uuuuh Recovery story (i assume it's called that in English? maybe Healing story? pretty sure Recovery is more likely)#but i think it's very intertwined with the Fantasy story; at least specifically in STP. because while HEA is mostly a depiction#of the impermanence of love as a Fantasy story (i hate that English name. it's so stupid. why isn't it called a Fairytale story#like in the Czech translation. it's way more accurate because it describes the idea of love as a grand epos with knights and princesses#and a happy ending. literally characterised by the thought that your partner is like a prince or a princess and that there is your#one true love waiting for you and that love should mimic fairytales and that it ends in a happily ever after)#anyway yeah HEA is partly about the impermanence of that. but the way Damsel and her HEA version think and function is reminiscent of#the Sacrifice story and the Recovery story. more so the Sacrifice one. but honestly i think people with either of these#stories have similar patterns of thinking?#so uh yeah. so it's like. yeah sure i could go on the stage and ramble about those two stories#for hours but like. I'd probably just paraphrase HEA and Damsel.
