Aw, that's very high praise, because I absolutely adore this song even without taking this animatic into account! I definitely have a lot more appreciation for it after this entire project though :] Thank you!

Honestly, I would love to see that, too! I know that with the combo of Cold + Opportunist, it would be absolutely hilarious. Unfortunately, I'm not good enough of a writer to actually, well, write it :[

Some people seem to have decided on "The body can't do anything before the princess drops the title card as a result of construct metaphysics," but I kind of think it's funny as hell if, while TLQ and the princess are having their little heart-to-heart, the voices are trying to figure out how to hotwire the body's nervous system for like half an hour

Hello!! Glad to have you here, and glad to see you enjoyed this nonsense :] I've got so many more animation ideas I want to make, but oh, I keep drowning in other non-animation projects and real life responsibilities lol But I hope you'll stick around for whatever animation/video I end up making next :]

HAHA, thank you!! This is how I imagine voices interacting with one another (as these ghosty bird people hovering / walking around LQ), so I figured that's how it would be for the Princess, once she has us with her, too :]

@ Ah, I see! Amazing animatic! :]

If that's any consolation, this animation also completely warped my perception of the New Dawn endings, from start-to-finish, I did an almost complete 180 on my opinions and ideas about this ending, and it only got worse with the new ending from the Pristine Cut. So, uh, same, very much same.

@everestgale Hey, it's not a bad thing that you changed it, it made it a much more sad ending when you truly think about it. Also, never mentioned before, but this is the best piece of StP content I've seen on this platform, even though I've started my hyperfixation on this game when the Pristine Cut came out.

Oops! Sorry about that, I never meant for this to confuse anyone, but yes, Opportunist is the only voice you can get in this route, though there are two different *princess* voices/variations you can get. This was inspired by the dev's initial idea to have Contrarian as a bonus voice, but it got scrapped (you can find that post in the video description!)

HAHA, I'm so mad I didn't think of that, it would've been perfect!

The princess: you know, I can try possessing you so you can be whole again Contrarian: nah it's fine, you can keep him, like being in charge, nos let's get out of here *we leave the basement as the princess

@@nightmaremythos4679 That actually sounds so good- Like, I can imagine the scenario of seeing everything from the perspective of the princess as she leaves the basement next to the body (without touching it because otherwise "the decider" aka us would return to the body), so when both are outside, the princess would asked if we also feel cold and there we can come back to the body

​@@BL-DL or, hear me out, the contarian pulls the ultimate power move and pops up in the princess body along with us as soon as the chapter starts That's the most contrarian thing to do

@@nightmaremythos4679 That's sound like the contrarian

Fun fact: I used to imagine and draw Quiet almost exclusively with a beak, but turns out, I really suck at drawing bird people. After about a month, or at least a few weeks, of making art of Quiet with a beak (and suffering from how bad it looks), I gave up and decided to make him a humanoid with no beak... ...only for it to be entirely wrong with the Pristine Cut, and right after I drew him 100+ times for an animation. So, uh, I'm having a rough time with that, and I'm not sure how I'll adjust lol

The devs basically said they want to keep seeing everyone's takes on him, even pre-prestine cut. Plus they did say his beak changes to fit the situation, especially a certain one 😏

@@reubensalter8125 ...to be fair, Abby did draw the definitive™version of a certain passionate moment, and it proves that Quiet could easily have a beak there :] On a serious note though, I'm aware that the devs are cool with people drawing different version of the protagonist, beak or no beak! So I think I will stick with no-beak Quiet for the next few projects. Unless I suddenly get insanely good at drawing bird people, in which case all bets are off :]

This scene/chapter made me realize just how much Slay the Princess ingrained itself into my brain because I *immediately* knew that orange text was Opportunist (and yelled about it a lot). Learning that people were not sure and debating who it was *just might* be a sign that I spend too much time thinking about and making stuff for this game... not that it would stop me lol

​@@everestgale yeah I knew from the first line, but most yt I watched didn't figure it out until they where back and saw the name tag

​@@everestgaleSame! This game is in my brain so much that I can recognise the voices from the slight differences in their tones and accents. So the moment I heard his voice, I immediately knew who it was! ...I may have a little obsession with this game...

She only posesses you by force in Wraith, and that's a chapter 3. Plus they would've added him but they couldn't find a way to make it work.

Devs said this was a route they considered (info in video desc). The way you'd get to it with Contrarian would be by not taking the blade, and Opportunist would be by taking the blade. I suppose the logic is that if you take the blade you are waiting for the perfect moment to strike to kill her, but with Contrarian you're going both against the narrator's wishes by not taking the blade and against the princess's wishes by not letting her leave.

@@n-boom I thought it was take the blade for Contrarian but don't take the blade for Oppy, since you can't already have the blade if you want to do it upstairs, which is the perfect opportune moment.

@reubensalter8125 Quote from the post on the desc: "The original idea for this route had two different multiplicative splits. 1. Harsh vs gentle princess, based on whether you attack her prior to possession in spectre (in the game right now.) 2. Contrarian vs Opportunist as the "bonus" voice (Contrarian if you didn't take knife downstairs for spectre)"

@@n-boom Not taking the knife means you'd have to do it upstairs. Eh, I guess it works the other way round too

It's cut content. They wanted to but couldn't find a satisfying way to implement it.

@@redhand8836 ... ok and thanks

I feel sad now that I know it could of happened. I wish I never knew..

I wasn't aware of any unused code! It was entirely inspired by a Black Tabby Games Tumblr post, where they talked about having Contrarian vs. Opportunist as "bonus" voice for this chapter, and they mentioned that Contrarian tossing the knife could be a fun joke in that variant. So I wanted to animate that :]

Oppr is cool

@@addchannelname2052 He's such an ass and villain in this route lol

@@insaneyoohoo Yeah But in a cool way here

@@addchannelname2052 what do you mean in a cool way, he literally wants to kill us

​@@insaneyoohooOnly because we left our body. It was our fault - someone had to be at the top and we weren't.

after playing through once i was Convinced there had to be some other way to get the route that would net you the contrarian. apparently they considered it but couldn't figure out how to have stakes and tension in a chapter facing off against an unarmed contrarian lol

​@@nerdywolverine8640 ah so thats why it felt so fitting for Clownarian to be there I mean, maybe he could be more unpredictable and suprising for the sake of it and not think about the consequence as opposed to Oppy's unsuprisingly easy to change sides

​@@nerdywolverine8640I think both at the same time could work, like he tries to throw it out the window but Oppy stops him, so he decides to spite him by not taking part in the sidebar. Then he transfers himself into the princess as we're pulled into our body and he stays there. The princess even mentions him as obviously has different reactions to him being there 😂

*Explosion* GAME!

Fun fact, this was originally going to be a possibility, you could get either Contrarian or Opportunist. However, the Contrarian version of this chapter was cut because they struggled to find a way to make it interesting.
