ship doodles because procrastination.
Drew the Voice of the Broken because he's actually in my top three of favorite voices <3
couldn't decide which pose I liked better so have both!!!
need people to stop calling long quiet/shifting mound toxic. guys you are missing the point. this is not a toxic relationship. the only reason the horrible things happened was because the narrator took something that was never supposed to be separated and ripped it apart and the two halves clawed their way back to each other. its not toxic murder partners its not theyre obsessed with the cycle of violence. the point is BREAKING the cycle of violence. the point is that the love is there, its not always strong enough to stop the hurting but its always there. its about loving people even when theyre messy. its about conflict making people stronger and helping them understand every piece of each other. its about inextricable connections between people, souls, concepts. the relationship between them alone goes so far beyond "toxic cycle of violence lovers" and it drives me CRAZY to see people saying thats what the game is about because even JUST the relationship is not about that and the game in its entirety is about so much more. stop calling it toxic love. thats not what it is. you are missing the point.

i am of the opinion gender doesnt exist to any creature in the construct (except for the narrator). the princesses are only shaped like women. they have no use for gender. the voices even less so, considering they dont have bodies.
"oh but they use he/him" "oh but they use she/her" and? that doesnt mean shit. its the same as using she/her for a boat.
one of the princesses even said herself, in plain emglish, they dont need labels. theyre not human. theyre not mortal. this shit is just whatever to them. if not for the narrator im not even sure they'd Use pronouns.
now, femininity and masculinity are Still big parts of the metanarrative, but besides like. how it affects people and media, i dont think gender itself matters at all. the princess is more the Idea of a woman. and the long quiet is the Idea of a man.
i actually have a lot to say about this but 1) im tired and 2) this post aint about that. point is: they're all trans and gay. use whatever pronouns you want. call them whatever you want. none of it matters, positively.
Any of the voices giving some love to Broken? Can be romantic or platonic, I just think he deserves some love and care.
hes bad at accepting it (especially when they are p. pretty . .)
There's not a single Voice that actually seems to like Broken... Cheated is the only one who says anything remotely nice to him and even then it's a one-off thing... Opportunist and Contrarian outright call him the worst one... Hero is more upset with him in Tower and Tower->Fury than he is with maybe any other Voice in their own chapter...
surely someone has made this joke before. pov the voices
what I find very interesting about the narrator's choice of reward - ie. an eternity of supposed bliss inside the cabin - is that while it seems on its surface just another instance of him projecting his desires onto you, it actually isn't. he himself probably thinks that he would desire an unchanging eternity like the one in the cabin, but...
when he is talking about his reasons for wanting to remove death from the world, his focus is almost entirely on connections to others. he talks about the greater good, having loved ones, wanting better for them. it's those connections that drive him to submit to death in the hope of defeating it. he is definitely selfish, but if he was totally selfish, he wouldn't have been able to do that. he believes his own death is a worthy sacrifice for the continued existence of his world. his vision of an ideal eternity, as he describes to you, is one where connections are endlessly and joyfully rediscovered.
in his ideal ending, you've killed off the only being you could ever meaningfully connect to. and this is one of the main reasons his plan dooms itself. who could bear the weight of an eternity alone? not him, certainly.
ok so like i made a thing

but its Super indulgent and also bad
