There are no premature endings. There are no wrong answers. There are only fresh perspectives and new beginnings. This is a love story.

Man dont you hate it when you try to rid the world of suffering by fracturing and severing the concept of death and change itself and forging two gods who you must pit against one another and kill each other and remain in nothingness forever to save people from death only for them to learn and repeat and gather the infinite parts of themselves across countless lifetimes of being reborn, broken, abandoned, found, killed, over and over and over again and fall in love with the other in their recognition and understanding of themselves as beings capable of choosing for themselves and your plan ends as soon as it began so you try speak, to convince a being of your own making that is now beyond your control, to plead them to see, but you don't know if you can because you yourself are also fractured across infinity, and you can never know or see the countless lifetimes of experiences that versions of you have put them through and only saw a mere fraction of their total journey to this point, so you shatter away as all that you are is an echo, a shade without true understanding of who you were, only focused on the task you gave to yourself to complete without being able to ever learn if you were right or wrong in the end.

Jonny did the Heart Lungs Liver Nerves chant live on stream and it was extremely impressive, especially considering it went on for just over 8 minutes. I felt the need to capture it in it's entirety, plus a little moment after that run ended. And of course, I couldn't not provide a screenshot from the stream, if only for the fantastic art used for the creators/VAs.

thinking of the damsel route where the princess turns into an anime girl. thinking about how the mere act of questioning her autonomy made her lose it. because viewing her as brainless made her so. because our perceptions shape who she is, and by not believing her simple want we are not believing her existence as an original person. thinking about how she's a person until we decide she's not being "person enough"

Thinking again about the mirror.

I'm thinking again about how the Echo could never see it. In a million million billion lifetimes, he could never see the mirror. He would never understand what it was to reflect like that.

The Long Quiet. The Shifting Mound. The Echo saw them as pieces on a chess board. Pieces to move against one another, their dance locked in stalemate as they cut each other down again and again and again and again. He saw a bloody war between the forces of everlasting life and all consuming death.

He could never see the mirror.

They are the opposing forces of a chessboard, the two of them. But one cannot exist without the other. Life cannot exist without death, and it is their beautiful choreographed dance that gives them both meaning. A life without death is endlessly pointless, death without life is suffering with no value.

As she grows, so do You. With each new experience, with each new face she wears, with each new possibility, tributaries in a wide, vast, endless river, she grows. She learns. She lives. And so do You. That is the mirror. The mirror is that lives lived, lives died, are beautiful in their fleeting nature. The mirror is that the renewed cycle of life and death is GROWTH.

We cannot learn anything through stagnation. Should we live our lives in an endless rut, with no consequence or death, we are doomed to repeat ourselves for all eternity, living a predestined life with no purpose or meaning or end.

You are on a path in the woods.

Love the Adversary route where the Princess grows terrified of what she’s done to you. Your brain is literally splattered on the walls but you keep moving, keep attacking back, and she wants to take you out of your misery because you barely even ressemble anything anymore.

Really cool coming from the Princess who was so insistent on fighting you over and over again, locked in a mutual loop of destruction.

well you see, horror is love and love is horror and perspective changes the world we live in and the people we are and the people everyone else is around us and love is listening and love is trusting and love is never knowing when you're supposed to pick up the blade or who to use it on and tearing her apart must be love because you love the world and the world keeps going but real love must be in her smile in her scowl in the dead look in her eyes as you fall into chains at her side and love is the world burning and taking her hand and blades erupting through skin because all we've ever been is sharp sharp sharp and you tried to kill her you tried to leave her you tried to love her and all it ever did was rip you both into horrible bloody shards of what you could've ever been

ahem

so yeah, I've been playing Slay the Princess lately
