Subcon's Royal Waltz (Subcon Forest / Your Contract has expired REMIX)

Iris (my ahit oc): *pulls out a horn grinning as well*

[@FelisImpurrator]

This mix specifically made me realize something brilliant about the Snatcher's theme I haven't seen anywhere else. Everyone noticed the Heartache/ASGORE motif in the song... but I think I just figured out why it's there and why it's that specific one. If the Snatcher was once the Prince... then it suddenly makes perfect sense that his theme borrows motifs from a tragic royal couple whose relationship was broken apart. What better tune to evoke the regrets of a broken king (or prince, in this case)? I am so glad this remix exists. I somehow managed to miss that story implication the first time.

[@hatcellucard599]

I heard determination

[@l3m0n_bra1nrvt5]

I see people sneaking ASGORE into their your contract has expired remixes Like its smart

[@ArdorG.]

Or, y’know, it’s a coincidence.

[@catwish]

According to Habboi, one of the game's developer's, Snatcher used "ASGORE" as a placeholder song for the fight until Pascal finished "Your Contract Has Expired". This might be why.

[@smolglitch]

My mind was blown while reading this. That's a spectacular theory.

[@cdsatcher]

"Alright, kid, how about I tell you... a story. MY story. Have a seat, because this... is a tragic one." "Long, long ago, this forest wasn't what you know it is now. It used to be... beautiful. Green, with life, and liveliness, everywhere, really! And the best part? The royal family that ruled the forest? I was the Prince. So, yeah, you striking me with your parasoul? You just beat up royalty, kid. But, moving on... As the prince, life was great. Really great. You wanna know why? Because the queen of the kingdom, she loved me, like, marriage loved me. And, to be honest, I loved her back." "Of course, all great things had to come to an end... One day, a kind lady had helped me find an important item of.. value, for me. To reward her, I gave her a gold coin. However, the moment I did, that's when the queen turned the corner, and saw us, but I didn't see her, nor did the kind lady... However, she must've thought I was dating the lady... And she became furious... She became, oh, what was it... *[flipping pages]* Ah, right, she became what you people would call a Yandere. She imprisoned me in the cellar... Where I was left to rot... Her terrible power corrupted the whole forest, turning it into what you know now as Subcon Forest, turning HER into what you know as Queen Vanessa... And turning me into what I am now... All over a mere misunderstanding..." "Now, you know as to why I sent you to do my business at that witch's mansion. It's not that I can't do it myself, it's that... I don't want anymore painful memories to resurface anymore. Although, that one timepiece, how did that thing land where it landed? Because either that's just fate wanting you dead, or something else..."

[@2tired2p15]

I actually imagine Snatcher dancing to this with someone. Whether it was with Queen Vanessa before she went crazy,or a completely different girl before the two met,I just imagine Snatcher waltzing with someone to this. So beautiful and haunting. I love it!

[@bella_daze3092]

PLEASE😭 it would be so beautiful

[@Daelyah]

...an AU of the Florist, perhaps? In which, when they were alive, they were good friends? But the Florist never confessed to the Prince, until after Vanessa destroyed the kingdom...and the Florist manifested a different undead form from Snatcher...? (I'm thinking something along the lines of Jubokko, the vampire tree...could play off of the many thorny vines across Subcon; could even have wilted roses that brighten and bloom, after feeding off of unfortunate victims...but the Florist's spirit in the tree will need help to properly communicate, first-considering she and Snatcher may not outright recognize each other, without a mediating character...)

Such a brilliant remix of Subcon Forest & Your Contract Has Expired mixed together to please the ears while blending the elegance and royalty of The Prince with the malicious and evil of The Snatcher for our eyes to enjoy. It just nails home the backstory of the lavish life The Snatcher had before he became the chaotic cynical character we know and how sad his story is. I also like the opening and ending animatic too. The Snatcher will steal the show on this time-bending waltz.

[@sarcasticastronaut8098]

Without any doubt, Snatcher is the most tragic character on AHIT (drawned with Mustache Girl) I mean, he had no blame at all at what happened to him, all he did was love an woman that was extremally jealous and even toxic to him and because of an misunderstanding he got left to rot on an dungeon until he lost completely his sanity and became murderous and reclusive, but after all he still loves Vanessa and don't want Hat Kid tp harm her so he forbids her to use her hats, but he still can't look his ex-lover in the eye, maybe he's scared of her or maybe he thinks he had blame on something. I wonder if Snatcher still likes bacon, tho.
