Thinking about how the Narrator doesn't really know if the world stays saved when we die, and yet in some cases He tries to reassure/console us during our 'last moments'.
"You've paid a terrible price, but you've saved us all." He doesn't know that. Maybe He's just trying to describe it into existence, hoping that if you die with the thought, it'll become true? But in other times, He's sure that our death means doom for whatever world we've left behind. "The world doesn't stay saved if you die." Then why tell us that we've saved it?
I also think it's interesting how emotional Narrator gets by the end of each chapter 1. He treats us differently based on our actions and how we approach the situation.
If we try and save the Princess, he purposely makes our death as long and painful as he possibly can, presumably, out of pure spite. "It is agony. But you aren't dead yet." "She sinks the blade into your chest again, and again, and again... and you feel every inch of burning pain that slices itself into your body."
If we resist his instructions at first, but give in later, he seems genuinely apologetic. "This can't actually be how everything ends..!" "I'm sorry, but it is." or "As much as I'd preferred for things to have gone differently, I can't deny the reality of what has happened." He wants this to work, and he wants us to come out happy and content by the end of it.
He seems caught off guard in the Spectre route if we try to kill her while she's in our body. "Slay her would slay you. Are you sure you're willing to do that?" One would expect Him to immedietly be on board with whatever plan gets rid of Her, but the "heroic"(in His eyes) gesture immedietly makes Narrator develop a soft spot and start to worry for our well being. He doesn't like the idea of the hero being denied their happy ending.
He genuinely believes the Princess to be a manifestation of everything evil in the world and constantly denies her any personhood. It's not an active choice either, as Narrator is an Echo with a set amount of beliefs that cannot be changed. He never changes His mind about anything and one of His core beliefs is that He is right. He has to be, otherwise everything he'd done, everything he went through, it would all be for nothing.
That which was once a defensive thought, shaped by his own hurt and unwillingness to see another perspective, becomes a universal truth.
MAJOR slay the princess spoilers below cut
the way the shifting mound is described in the leaving ending really reminded me of this tumblr post. how she lost herself in becoming a god. how she was no longer the 'true' princess. the way the princess describes being a god like it's a prison, like it's too much at once to bear. she's happier being understandable. definable. she's happy just being the princess.... idk this game fucks me up man
like!!!!!!
The Contrarian would use emoticons and pronounce every character out loud. Argue with the wall.
Cold-Smitten dynamic is so funny especially in Burned Grey because the Smitten goes "You killed her, so I killed you. Fuck you little bitch I'm going to make you suffer" and the Cold agrees that he killed the princess but also just goads him further because this is entertaining for him.
But Smitten's literally the person who created him? Manifesting Cold has a few requirements but an oversimplification of it is just "Kill yourself after killing the princess". If Smitten hadn't killed himself Cold wouldn't even exist in Burned Grey.
Idk it's just so funny man because. You go king. Create your own worst enemy. Don't just make up a strawman in your head, manifest the strawman in reality and have tense, mildly homo-erotic arguments with him. Even funnier is that Cold is pretty much at his most amused and clearly thinks Smitten's threats are some of the most interesting shit he's ever seen. The hateable guy you made up in your head doesn't even hate you back he just thinks you're hilarious.
I saw the post you made about taking requests immediately followed by the contrarian supercut. So how about: Razor being literally thrown out of the window. Bonus points if it is the version of her that still has a face because her expressions are always priceless.
im sorry this is so low effort i think it makes it funnier q_q
