Crappy Character Analysis, part 6

I've been putting off this one, simply because I love Contrarian, everyone loves Contrarian, and I was worried I wouldn't do him justice. BTW, if you haven't read any others, I'd recommend at least reading Cold and Stubborn before this one.

part 1 (Broken)

part 2 (Skeptic)

part 3 (Cold)

part 4 (Paranoid)

part 5 (Stubborn

VOICE OF THE CONTRARIAN

Contrarian is my favorite voice, so let’s just get that out of the way. I’m doing my best to give him a fair analysis, but if there are any flaws, that’s probably why. I’d say a good 40% of Contrarian content was added after the Pristine Cut, probably because the fandom loved him so much. He basically lives up to his name. Any time someone says something, he immediately tries to counter it. Slay the Princess? No thanks. The world beyond yours is beautiful? Eh, it ain’t all that. Take the knife? Only to throw it out the window! In fact, throwing the knife out the window is his MO, seeing as he does it in three separate chapters (Stranger, Razor (No Way Out), and Fury (through Adversary)) and the only reason he doesn’t do it in the other two chapters he shows up in is because there are no windows for the blade to go out of. He also dabbles in bending reality, working together with Stubborn to keep you moving without your muscles. He is also, objectively, kind of a jerk. He calls Hero a baby for being upset at whatever abomination you see in the Stranger, refuses to give the Narrator vital information, antagonizes Stubborn by calling him weak, and then proceeds to manipulate him into throwing away your weapon, and then delivers the line that goes to the affect of “Oh, are we lying? I’m happy to be here, and I like all of you.” Of course, he does turn a new leaf at the end of the Stranger, and if you get the Stranger’s cabin at the end, he seems to have matured since the last time you’ve seen him.Contrarian exists to amuse himself. You get him by not taking the consequences of your actions seriously (not going to the cabin, fighting the Adversary unarmed, not taking the blade/stabbing yourself in the Razor, cutting your throat in the Tower). This attitude makes him careless. He wants to sow chaos, start conflicts, and just have fun. His commitment to the bit helps you survive and fight in the Apotheosis and the Fury. Who cares if you die? You were going to anyway. Contrarian doesn’t fully realize the effects his recklessness has on others until it is far too late. In the Razor, if he throws the knife out the window, he thinks of it as a funny bit. But after he realizes that there will be no getting it back, he admits he might have acted too hastily. Something similar happens in the Stranger. There may be a more deep-seated root to his nature, as well. One that most people miss. Contrarian is a contrarian out of frustration. You tried running away from the problem, and now it got worse. Now you have to face it, and he isn’t happy. If he has to confront his own mistakes, well, he isn’t going to make it easy. If he has to be miserable, so does everyone else. He reminds me of Cold, in a way. One turns to indifference, while the other turns to indignation. This point is accentuated by a line in the Stranger ending, where he confesses that he thinks of himself as the worst part of you. In the Stranger, it takes the entire world collapsing in on itself for Contrarian to fully realize the harm he’s caused. Once he sees the bigger picture, he shows remorse, and suggests that you try and help the Princess. In the Stranger ending, when you return to her cabin, he’s had more time to cool down and reflect, and he shows a surprising maturity, holding back on yeeting the blade. This may be the only voice who got significantly more content in the Pristine Cut, yet whose depth lies in pre-Pristine Cut content.

(hey you know what would be really funny -wait what who said that) The Cage from Slay the Princess

stupid goofy bird guy with mischievous plans

If I had a nickel for every time someone on Tumblr made a slay the princess hms au, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isnt alot but it's weird that it happened twice

Hms au jingle jingle🔑🔑

I have made a stp x hms au :D (this first drawing is outdated tbh)

Mind is the princess, heart is the hero and soul is the narrator! Shenanigans ensue

Here are some doodles and a piece based on apotheosis

Also!! Shout out to @chonnysinferno for this comment, I have been thinking about it every day since you don't understand

This au is your fault/j/nm/pos

Does anyone remember this achievement from Slay the Princess or is it just me?? Like seriously this was funny to get back then even tho I simply did it for completionism.

Got this while attempting to have every single achievement for "Slay the Princess Demo", not even mad this is funny.

In the basement of that cabin is a princess. You're here to SLAY her.

What rendering does to your art 🧐🧐🧐

what a cutie patootie (ignore that she just tried to chew her arm off)

Princess, Routes and Voice concept,,,

And a lil context via discord:

Peak polycule

If narry doesnt want them then SCOOT OVER LEMME AT EM

my new emotional support bird dragon guy

hello!!! i havent been able to draw as much lately bc im working on an animation for school but i made this!

WAIT omg the Voice of the Smitten as an aromantic who overcompensates. He's not in love with the Princess. He's in love with the idea of loving the Princess, because that's what he's "supposed" to do. He wants so badly to make it work and be in a conventional romantic relationship, and he really does want her to be happy, but he holds the traditional idea that an important part of masculinity is protecting a woman and providing for her and being both her knight in shining armor and her devoted husband. He expresses love weirdly because that's his idea of what love is "supposed" to look like. He doesn't understand romance, but he's fixated on the storybook projection of it, allegory of the cave style, so he leans strongly into that archetype and gets it all wrong. I really think the Smitten just doesn't want to be alone. Poor boy, unlearning heteronormativity and embracing relationship anarchy would've saved you

Can I throw rocks at her? (I like her design, very fun)

Rock is not very effective against steel... (Thank you for the request!)

do it you heard the guy

I should be sleeping

Pasta and Wine (ft. my favorite princesses)

The Narrator (I finally gave him a design)

*plus some sketches from The Wraith (with Cheated, my beloved)

I present to you: The short quiet

The Soldier, The Beloved, The Detective, The Missus

Oh, and Hero is here. And LQ-

i missed the three of them

This has probably been done before but it came to me in a vision

Here's a version that's more properly integrated too

Love melted into skepticism, and you pulled back layer after layer after layer until all you were left with was the knowledge that you did not know me.

You sought the truth then. Will you hide from it now that it is within your grasp?

been too long since I drew them, The Demons were starting to emerge

and a bonus:

ngl, really proud of how much I progressed with drawing my Hero lol. Always envisioned him as a fat and buff guy, but only really got the skill to properly portray that more recently, and it just makes me so happy skmskdkdmdmd finally, can draw my boi the way he deserves <3
