Fell The Monster

Slay the Princess AU Overseer - He/It/They ANTI AI

[fell-the-monster]

ON BREAK. SORRY

"You're on a path on a mountain. -

- And at the end of that path is a cave. And inside that cave is a monster. You're here to slay it. If you don't, it will be the end of the world."

~⭒✶∆ ✶⭒~

what is Fell the Monster?

it is an interactive choice based canon-divergence blog based on the game "Slay the Princess"

in this world, the roles are swapped. the princess has to slay him rather than the other way around.

This is an AU i have seen circulating around a little bit. And this is my spin on it. Everything in this, other than the core piece of the princess and the Hero being swapped, are my ideas.

There will be a bunch new choices, voices, vessels, and art, all of which have been lovingly made by me.

heavily inspired by @kill-the-wanderer and @slay-the-lady please check them out, they are really good.

I have a straw page with all the art, voices, and vessels you encounter, please consider checking it out

#peaks behind the screen (random posts about the lore or how I do things, pretty much creator commentary)

Posts will be as often as i can post them. I get busy really easily and burnt out. so the goal is at least once a week.

please feel free to ask questions! it'll get my gears turning more (no promises on if i answer fully (don't wanna spoil stuff after all)) and every voice and vessel (including The Shifting Eternity, and the narrator) are open for questions 24/7

if you want some fun interactions (and possible accidental leaks) check out the minimum wage au blogs i also run

Hey, i should update yall.

Im not dead, just mentally that is haha

Ive burnt myself our really bad, and also my brain decided to focus on a different piece of media appart from STP so its really hard to make myself do anything at the moment.

Im sorry for any inconvenience, i dont plan to fully quit this, i just cant work onnit right now.

I'm sorry.

As apology for putting this game on hold for a while, I'll share the design for the next vessel.

Hopefully i can start this back up once i get a job, though no promises.

Again im very sorry.

[the-monster-in-minimum-wage]

Ooc

This goes for here too. Im very sorry, but the vessels are going on vacation (helped by that annon, though i probably would have sent them away anyway lol)

Im not sure when they will be back.

I'm very very very sorry.

Slight vent and better explanation under cut

I feel like i owe you all a bug apology and explanation.

Again, very sorry, but im going to be as transparent as i can right now.

I am burnt out, really bad.

With artfight i didnt do as much as i wanted and i think it didnt help.

I also recently got into ace attorney, and my brain hates me, so its not letting me do much else.

As well as just thinking about working on fell the monster in any capacity, including roleplaying, making me want to vomit, and filling me with dread.

I love you all alot, and enjoy roleplaying with you, ive had a lot of fun so far! But im just not able to continue at the moment, despite how much i want to.

Im very very sorry, again, i cant say it enough.

Its not anyones fault but my own and my mental health.

Hopefully i will be back sooner than i hope, but its no promise.

Ill still post stuff on my main and watch the roleplay from the sidelines, but i cant contribute right now, it wouldnt be smart to push myself like that.

Again, im sorry, and i hope you all have fun, and aren't too mad at me for stepping back.

Have a good day :3

Do you like the J? ŌvÔ

Very much!

He is as dapper as always, thank you for drawing him so much <3

Sorry for awnsering so late

[fell-the-monster]

In the Alice in worderland AU

Vampire would look good as the J of hearts, right? :>

Im awnsering this late, really late i know. Im sorry.

Honestly i dont know much about alice in wonderland past the bare minimum, lol.

But i think vampire would look good as anything.

Not to rush you, but how much longer will it take you to upload the next chapter?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Well

I have no clue, I'm sorry.

I havent worked on it like i said i would, and ive been really busy.

For now i have no clue when it will start again, i want to start it but executive dysfunction is a bitch.

[fell-the-monster]

What song do you think fits best the vessels and voices that we've met so far?

Monster-

Monster is hard, because hes so versatile and has many different personalities, but i think this is the best song, because time loop :>

Vampire-

Vampire has changed the most from his first idea, so curently this would fit him the best, which is so off from what i originally wanted him to be like lol

Angel-

This is the only song i have on his playlist at the moment, i think it fits pretty well

Narrator-

Omg what do i pick.... this is hard

Maybe this? Check out my narry playlist for stp cause that all fits her too

Dame-

Slayer-

I think this fits her pretty well, shes kind of hard to pin down haha.

She more focusses on her job, i dont know if she hates vamps (at least not in chapter II, In chapter III might be another story)

Mad-

Through a short search, i think this fits her pretty well :3

[fell-the-monster]

Could you draw Alice!Dame so I can have a refrence for future drawings? If not then no problems I'll figure it out myself

Sorry this took so long to get to.

This is my rendition at least.

[fell-the-monster]

What's the unicorn's voice's name, if you don't mind?

"Voice of the merciful"

[fell-the-monster]

Yesssssss!!!! We have two hopeful vessels!!

I think they could be good friends

[fell-the-monster]

Trying to guess the unicorn

Oh goodness look at him.

Thats honestly not too far off.

Im excited that we are going to meet him, and his voice.

[fell-the-monster]

At least we can find out the new guy's name and see his silhouette so we can theorize?

I don't see why not.

"the unicorn"

our replacement of the damsel.

"Wonderful. We are all very greatful that it is not some kind of royalty you have to kill, and just a souless monster. Now please, get moving"

"You make your way up the side of the mountain. The mouth of the cave now in view. You will find the Monster inside"

Voice of the Dame- "a Monster. it's our job to slay monsters, right? we should get in there and get this done. no need to over think it"

Her voice is sure, and steady.

"Exactly, good to know the world is in your hands, and not some misanthrope"

"Almost no light makes it's way down the path, the area obscured by oppressive shadows that only get darker the deeper you go. If the monster lives here, killing it would be merciful"

"it's voice carries up the stairs"

The monster- "hello? Is someone there? Are you here to get me out of this chain?" Its voice is soft, and kind, almost... normal.

Voice of the dame- "he just sounds like a normal guy... is he really a threat to the world?"

"Don't fall for that fake humanity its trying to show. It just wants one thing. The end of the world. And it will do anything to get that"

"I'm sure we can fix this."

"You reach the bottom of the stairs, the area is as dark as the path before. It takes your eyes a moment to adjust, but they do." "The monster sits against the far wall, heavy chain holding it in place."

The Monster's eyes open and meet yours

Voice of the Dame- "he looks... civilized... maybe we can just talk this through?"

"Even if it doesn't look like a threat. It is. Get the axe, and kill it."

The Monster's eyes move over your form.

The Monster- "hi. I don't mind you just coming down to check up on me, thats really sweet of you but... maybe you could help me out of here instead?"

"don't"

"This is a bad idea. you don't know what he is capable of, and getting so close to him without a weapon is pretty much just a death wish!"

Voice of the Dame- "Talk all you want, but we are getting him out. right?"

"ugh. you walk up to the wall, tugging on the chain, when that does nothing you put your foot against it and try again, and that still doesn't work, but you don't give up. despite how thick and heavy these chains are you just keep trying."

The Monster- "So you don't have the key I'm guessing..." Voice of the Dame- "Could be like... lock pick it? I don't know how but maybe you do?"

"even is you could you don't have anything to use for that. also you shouldn't do that all"

Voice of the Dame- "uh huh" ... Voice of the Dame- "Maybe there was a key hidden upstairs?"

"where? that room was empty aside from the Axe you should have grabbed"

Voice of the dame- "Maybe there was a fake rock!"

Voice of the Dame- "Oh! unless we use that axe maybe? if it can kill him maybe it can free him too!"

"I highly doubt that, its just an axe and these are strong chains!"

The Monster- "Other than that... maybe cutting me out, but that kind of has a bigger problem with it..."

"it barely blinks when it brings up that idea"

"you make your way to the stairs, but before you are half way up the door slams shut the sound of a lock following shortly after"

Voice of the Dame- "Depending on how long he has stayed here... makes since, i would probably be in the same spot; anything to make the suffering stop, you know?

Voice of the Dame- "Mhm... easier for you, right?"

"Easier for everyone! now you and it are going to slowly die of starvation, good job. you really are a hero"

The Monster- "I heard the door slam... They locked you down here too, didn't they?"

"There is a slight tone of panic in it's voice"

"it doesn't take long for him to stand, wrapping the chains around his claws and pulling on them with all the fear of a trapped Rabbit. they barely bend, and he is clearly hurting himself more than the chains" "As he chips away at the thick bindings, you hear the sound of metal fall from behind you."

The Monster- "I just know that if I could get out of these chains we could force ourselves out together..."

"it's your axe, even if you are unsure of how it got here, this is your chance. strike now and end this"

Voice of the Dame- "Orr... we could cut those chains and free him"

Voice of the Dame- "we just have to hit it a few more time, i don't know if we've ever used and axe before, no wonder we don't get it in the first hit"

She grumbles "ugh. yeah okay, two more hits and the metal breaks and he is free, happy?"

"It smiles up at you, it's half of the chain being worried in it's claws, It's expression soft all the same though"

Voice of the Dame- "I'm surprised he isn't more scared of us, we could have killed him."

"you should have killed it"

"The monster looks at you in fear for a moment, before smiling and setting the chain back down before you strike it."

Voice of the Dame- "we just have to hit it a few more time, i don't know if we've ever used and axe before, no wonder we don't get it in the first hit"

She grumbles "ugh. yeah okay, two more hits and the metal breaks and he is free, happy?"

"It smiles up at you, it's half of the chain being worried in it's claws, It's expression soft all the same though"

Voice of the Dame- "I'm surprised he isn't more scared of us, we could have killed him."

"you should have killed it"

>|| [Approach the locked door]

"No, this can't happen. you can't let this beast out into the wild..."

"I have to do something..."

"as the monster leads you out of the basement, you raise your weapon, readying to strike"

Voice of the Dame- "wait- what? what are you doing?!"

"Saving you and everything on this planet, because you can't seem to"

Voice of the Dame- "Are you kidding?! what about free will and our choices?"

"I can't let you ruin this."

"he dodges as your blade swings down, barely missing him"

Monster- "Are you okay? please you don't have to do this, we can leave together!"

"he begs, taking a step closer, hands reaching out for your own"

Monster- "Here, let me take that…"

"You lunge once more, but you are slow and stiff. he moves in time, but stays by your side"

I'm going to be real for a moment. i wake up like, and hour before the poll ends and i post the next one. And i have not been able to finish the art in a timely manor most of the time.

that's why so many polls recently don't have art, or very few.

My current plans to fix this are

A- do polls a little later, like 2 hours or so.

B- sketch all needed art then outline then color, so at least i have all the art in some form of finished when i post it

C- Try to finish art before the next poll so i can update the current post

D- If that doesn't happen, post them on tumblr and add them to the straw page so they are at least known.

Just trying to stay transparent about everything going on behind the screen.

Also I'm going on vacation in a few days, so I might post slower for a week or so. might take the time to plan out the chapters instead.

be safe

"You are here to slay it. If you don't, it will be the end of the world"

(Explore) The end of the world? What are you talking about?

(Explore) Do we really have to kill it? Maybe it's just misunderstood.

(Explore) Do I have to be the one to kill it?

(Explore) Do I get some reward? Hero's always get some kind of reward, right?

(Explore) Maybe I'm okay with the world ending.

Thanks for telling me what to do.

A Monster? Okay I can get behind this. let's get to slaying!

If you told me it was a princess I would have a hard time, but I can do this!

"Wonderful. We are all very greatful that it is not some kind of royalty you have to kill, and just a souless monster. Now please, get moving"

"You make your way up the side of the mountain. The mouth of the cave now in view. You will find the Monster inside"

Voice of the Dame- "a Monster. it's our job to slay monsters, right? we should get in there and get this done. no need to over think it"

Her voice is sure, and steady.

"Exactly, good to know the world is in your hands, and not some misanthrope"

>|| [Enter the basement]

"The inside of the cave is almost entirely bare, bland walls with not a hint of life. On the far wall is an iron wrought door, hastily set into place. And in the far right corner is a worn axe, stabbed into the ground."

"The axe is your instrument. You'll need it if you want to do this right"

Without your worn axe? Are you kidding me? Fine. It's just the end of the world. See if I care."

"You pry open the gate of the cave, and make your way down the barely there stairs"

"Almost no light makes it's way down the path, the area obscured by oppressive shadows that only get darker the deeper you go. If the monster lives here, killing it would be merciful"

"it's voice carries up the stairs"

The monster- "hello? Is someone there? Are you here to get me out of this chain?" Its voice is soft, and kind, almost... normal.

Voice of the dame- "he just sounds like a normal guy... is he really a threat to the world?"

"Don't fall for that fake humanity its trying to show. It just wants one thing. The end of the world. And it will do anything to get that"

"way to give up the advantage, now you need to be quick, You've lost the element of surprise, but you can still finish the job, if you just turn around now and get the axe like you were supposed to."

"I'm sure we can fix this."

"You reach the bottom of the stairs, the area is as dark as the path before. It takes your eyes a moment to adjust, but they do." "The monster sits against the far wall, heavy chain holding it in place."

The Monster's eyes open and meet yours

Voice of the Dame- "he looks... civilized... maybe we can just talk this through?"

"Even if it doesn't look like a threat. It is. Get the axe, and kill it."

The Monster's eyes move over your form.

The Monster- "hi. I don't mind you just coming down to check up on me, thats really sweet of you but... maybe you could help me out of here instead?"

"don't"

"This is a bad idea. you don't know what he is capable of, and getting so close to him without a weapon is pretty much just a death wish!"

Voice of the Dame- "Talk all you want, but we are getting him out. right?"

"ugh. you walk up to the wall, tugging on the chain, when that does nothing you put your foot against it and try again, and that still doesn't work, but you don't give up. despite how thick and heavy these chains are you just keep trying."

The Monster- "So you don't have the key I'm guessing..." Voice of the Dame- "Could be like... lock pick it? I don't know how but maybe you do?"

"even is you could you don't have anything to use for that. also you shouldn't do that all"

Voice of the Dame- "uh huh" ... Voice of the Dame- "Maybe there was a key hidden upstairs?"

"where? that room was empty aside from the Axe you should have grabbed"

Voice of the Dame- "Oh! unless we use that axe maybe? if it can kill him maybe it can free him too!"

"I highly doubt that, its just an axe and these are strong chains!"

The Monster- "Other than that... maybe cutting me out, but that kind of has a bigger problem with it..."

"it barely blinks when it brings up that idea"

"you make your way to the stairs, but before you are half way up the door slams shut the sound of a lock following shortly after"

Voice of the Dame- "Depending on how long he has stayed here... makes since, i would probably be in the same spot; anything to make the suffering stop, you know?

"Easier for everyone! now you and it are going to slowly die of starvation, good job. you really are a hero"

The Monster- "I heard the door slam... They locked you down here too, didn't they?"

"There is a slight tone of panic in it's voice"

"it doesn't take long for him to stand, wrapping the chains around his claws and pulling on them with all the fear of a trapped Rabbit. they barely bend, and he is clearly hurting himself more than the chains" "As he chips away at the thick bindings, you hear the sound of metal fall from behind you."

The Monster- "I just know that if I could get out of these chains we could force ourselves out together..."

"it's your axe, even if you are unsure of how it got here, this is your chance. strike now and end this"
