After seeing the dragon route, I now know why the Princess says “mostly” instead of “just” her spreading fear wherever they go.

we are not just feathered hands but when the princess says the princess and the dragon, when she says dragon it made you think that "you" were a dragon so that's probably why he came in so scary

Yeah, I dont think it means exactly that, especially since we're meant to look a lot different, almost completely broken. But that doesn't make the statement any less true - her gaping maw and fear paralysis combined with her frail bird who can't even fit in his own cage, would be enough to scare anyone half to death, if not all the way.

@@LucasImpulsein that route you can ask her about your appearance and she says that's what you always look like, plus the long quiet is meant to be a stagnant being, although I think the narrator says that he made sure to keep a small amount of the shifting mound within the long quiet so that his desired reality wouldn't be completely devoid of change (but I could be misremembering so idk)

Hero: Something tells me that this is the end of the line, but i don't feel bad about it. Im ready. Broken: It feels okay. Paranoid: The fear's gone. Sturbborn: I'm done fighting. Smitten: My heart feels quiet. Cheated: The game was always going to end. Cold: I'll be free of all of you. Skeptic: I'm ready for the truth. Hunted: I'm ready to sleep.

Yeah, they've better differentiated the chapter 2 princesses from their unique chapter 3 ones as well as most of their variants. And her whole description has changed too to better fit that route.

do you think her face being a void has anything to do with a metaphor for emptiness or lacking identity?
@Dumbface-437892 ай бұрын
I think it's more like the Long Quiet no longer care for the princess, so the princess no longer need a mask(or fake face) . After all, Nightmare means something you don't want to face, but keep reminding in your life.
@reubensalter8125Ай бұрын
@@Dumbface-43789I don't think "him not caring" comes into it. She bared her soul to him and so no longer needs to mask it anymore. If anything,he was moulded into caring about her even more. Plus a Nightmare is just a bad dream, there's nothing else to it.

i really do wish there was an ending t this that mimicked the razors ending. some convoluted series of things you could do that let you actually beat her Y'know?
@reubensalter81252 ай бұрын
That's the whole point though. Your will has been broken beyond repair and now you have no choice but to give her exactly what she wants - her freedom. It's supposed to be a complete contrast to Razor Plus we already have something like that with Tower and that makes more sense because we had something that kept us going. Here we have nothing - we've seen her full extent of her suffering and yearning that we feel the need to free her. There's nothing we can do but let the situation run its course.
@PeteandRepeat12 ай бұрын
She’s the moment of clarity, the realization of inevitability of death and futility of struggle against it. It would be against its themes if you could somehow win against it. You can only delay her and ignore her, but you will never stop her from getting what she wants.
