This is what I meant by cold hate, not necessarily people who hate the character but people that read him as more aggressive than he really is just because most of the time he doesn't really care that much.
they make me SICK in the HEAD. the voice of the cold acknowledging that she's the victim in this scenario but never caring enough to try and change that. the construct telling the princess at the start of this loop that she deserves this over and over again, but she never knows why. and the voice of the cold knows she doesn't. and he doesn't care. and this was never what she deserved. and AUUUHGHHHHHH
MORE SKEPTICK CONTENT BABYYYY!!!
(for those Who don:t know the game got an update and now skeptick is with you in HEA instead of paranoid, wich makes sense considering the whole "love melted into skepticism" thing )
and give him more appreciation
I like the idea of giving every voice their princesess crown
(Like, all of them)
They are birds, but actually not really because they have other animal inspired featuresBUT THEN AGAIN WHAT IS ANYTHING OF THE LONG QUIET?
All of them get the crowns of their respective Chapter I princess's. The tiaras change depending on the princess, no context, no matter that they haven't seen the princess yet(is always more of a symbolic representation, some even mold them out of the path)
I imagine this dust feathers post-construct all got bodies because TLQ did them all by memory and yanked them from the Princess's hearts where they still stayed (in a part of the Shifting Mound still whiting her) or smth close to that. But when they actually became "real" they where put in a separate world entirely, itty-bitty tree house and everything for them.
*Bonus terrible size reference:
Also, to everyone who thinks oppy is smart
he's not
Like, I think the biggest display of intelegence we get from him is winning a game against depressed wife princess so yeah...
Paraniod and skeptick are way smarter or atleast seem to be more aware of their surroundings.
I don't hate oppy btw I just hate him
Oh my GOD (no pun intended), I've been trying over and over again to get paranoid in the apothosis bu I just get ntrarian EVERY TIME (still love him ththhttotuougoughyu(however the f*k it's written))
pd. I just realised i wrote apotheosis wrong but it's really funny so i'm gonna keep it Xd
I do not care how many enemies I make with this afformation.
The only people Who like opportunist are people Who change his personality to make him care for others
wich
defeats
the
whole
f*uking
point
of
him
being
THE
OPPORTUNIST
After replaying eye of the needle I feel really compelled to start shipping Hunted x stubborn ngl
What are your ships for hunted and stubborn?
I'm going to do it, I'll out all the brilliant, profound notes on my half-assed, tired and pretentious ramble.
But first, a much-needed bit of context. I was vaguely aware of some of these, and I am guilty of focusing more on the voices myself. This is because I can do a bad drawing of an aspect of an amorphous bird man and it looks a lot better than if I mess up drawing a woman. I don't draw humans well.

Some extra things in other reblogs, I can see them all and others should too, these perspectives have shaped my own:
By the way, I like the Shifting Mound more than any other character in the game. Have done for a while, I hadn't considered misogyny being a problem before this post.
Oh, for sure. That route is why I assign colours to the voices in my art. It's fun to imagine them with unique designs.
I shan't say directly what I think they'd look like properly, though, because I want to imply it.
Absolutely bizarre to me that the Princess doesn't get more love; she's amazing and charming in pretty much every iteration, and I wish I could shut those voices up half the time because they make things worse or take ages.
Do you guys think the reason so much fanart exists for the voices is not because of them being great characters (all the characters in STP are), but instead because we spend more time in our own heads than we ever will with a version of the princess?
I get it. They're inherently relatable because they reflect our previous actions through any route and set the tone of each chapter. They bicker with us and are able to see every option we take.
But, maybe the princesses are underrated. As in, she's always an outsider. How quickly would she be more beloved if the voices would shut up and let us do our stuff, or if they were seperate from us?
How then would we judge the impulsive contrarian, the weak-willed hero or the depressed cold? Would we appreciate paranoid were he more than a life support?
Ask yourself that, and ponder it awhile. Don't say it to anyone. Just an hour of your independent thoughts, clear of little voices.

We're supposed to be unfeeling. How many times do I have to tell you to snuff out your heart?
Beak is less obvious with this one, but it does take the upper part of his skull.
Ha! I knew it! Your words are no match for the pure strength of our hearts, bound together as one.
