Path to Nowhere Imagines & Headcanons

A new blog that focuses on headcanons and imagines for Path to Nowhere characters! Please check the rules, and make sure your request wasn't already filled on the masterlist. Once you've done that, feel free to proceed to the inbox! || INBOX: 38? || Requests: CLOSED

[ptn-imagines]

Welcome!

If you're struggling to find the rules for this blog, they're below the cut. Also, if you're a Slay the Princess fan, check out my other blog, @stp-imagines!

Be patient. I am a single person struggling with chronic fatigue. I will try to get to requests as quickly as possible, but some wait time should be expected, particularly with imagines.

Be kind. Again, I am a single person, and my perspectives and interpretations of the characters may be different to yours. Be respectful when interacting with this blog, please.

No bigotry allowed. I will not tolerate any form of discrimination on this blog, whether it be LGBTQ+phobia, racism, ableism, religious discrimination, or anything along these lines.

Specify if a request is a headcanon or imagine. Headcanons are bulletpointed lists of, well, headcanons. Imagines are full one-shots. I will write the same request as both headcanons and an imagine, but not in the same ask.

Be specific. This greatly increases the likelihood you’ll get a satisfactory response. In particular, if it isn’t specified, I will assume the “reader” in each scenario is the Chief.

Please request no more than three characters in a headcanon, and no more than two in an imagine.

I will write scenarios for the Chief, and many important NPCs, not just Sinners. Ask if uncertain.

I will write NSFW content. Please only request this if you’re 18+.

I will not write romantic or sexual content involving minors.

I will not write content that includes p*dophilia, r*pe, in*est, or abuse. “X helping the reader to escape an abusive situation” and similar requests is alright, though I reserve the right to decline any.

Please do not use characters from other media as a basis for your request. If you want a Chief/Reader/etc. who acts like, say, Dante from Devil May Cry, you will have to describe the desired personality traits the long way (so for Dante: a flamboyant, larger-than-life personality which they use to cover up how much they deeply care).

I will not write for Victoria. This is for personal reasons.

This blog will not be spoiler-free. I typically play new content as soon as it comes out on global.

I still exist, my body just hates me and when I get a break from that every creative braincell in my head is taken up by Alien Stage.

Inbox Update

Hey everyone. As you guys all know, I have one hell of a backlog. If I could sit down and focus, getting through them would be no sweat -- but unfortunately, I can't do that. So! For now, until I manage to clear out the inbox some, the inbox will be closed. I understand if this comes as a disappointment, but any requests sent in while the inbox is closed will be deleted. Other things can still be sent in!

Also, my other blog, @stp-imagines is still open in anticipation of the Pristine Cut!

Our darling was eaten by the game. 😔

(this is a small play on words, I hope the translation doesn't spoil it ;( )

~🐉

Unfortunately I don't quite get the pun, so I think the translation did. Still, it did make me chuckle!

[ptn-imagines]

Not sure if minors are allowed to send some inbox, I couldn't find your rules and its alright if you block me since I'm reflectioning my actions rn. Anyway here's an art of winged reader and Zoya from one of your hc hope you have a nice day :3

Ah! This is so cute! Thank you so much! I love your style!

Also, to answer your question, minors are allowed to send asks, they just can't request NSFW.

[ptn-imagines]

oh no, pookie is gone again🐧

If you mean me, I'm still here. I'm just deep, deep into Book of Hours right now.

[ptn-imagines]

IS IT A GAME?!!! WHST IS IT?????? 🐧

Yes it's a game! It's called BOOK OF HOURS on Steam! It's a card-based crafting RPG. There is a bit of a gameplay loop, but I'm the type of person who enjoys that sort of thing (and also organizing shit is FUN as well as the satisfaction of mastering a new book or Wisdom-) so it's good for me.

[ptn-imagines]

"What are you doing instead of clearing your backlog?"

Organizing my video game bookshelves.

[ptn-imagines]

@stp-imagines's inbox is still empty so don't be afraid to send some asks if you like Slay the Princess!

[ptn-imagines]

i thought your inbox would be higher, i know a blog that has almost a thousand inbox, i thought you'd reach hundreds 🐧

Haha I think my hiatus killed the popularity I had... if you combine the current inbox with requests I've already fulfilled I've only gotten 72 requests! So, getting close to a hundred, but not quite there.

Hello hello!!

Notorious cat anon asking once again for Langley and f!chief but what if chief brought a cat or two she found on the streets home

Like the cat distribution striking the two lol

The idea of a sphinx cat that hates Langley and loves everyone else was too funny. Otherwise known as: Langley competes with a fucking cat for her girlfriend's attention.

F!Chief bringing a street cat home to Langley

The first thought Langley has is that this creature is the ugliest thing she has ever seen in her life. It’s an exaggeration, of course, but the cat definitely isn’t the cute and fluffy type people think of when they think of felines. In fact, it doesn’t have any fur at all, which is what contributed to the initial reaction in the first place.

After realizing that Chief is in fact holding a cat, and not some hairless Mania abomination, though, Langley smiles. It’s just a sphinx cat, albeit a particularly thin and ragged one. And though she won’t admit it aloud, being cuddled up with the Chief like that certainly lends it a great deal of cuteness factor.

Langley can’t help but tease Chief about picking up strays – a little nod to her Sinners, though of course, this time the Bureau’s new resident is a stray. She pretends to hum and posture about keeping more animals in the MBCC, but Langley already knows she’ll be letting the cat stay. She appreciates the intelligence and independence of felines, though it certainly doesn’t hurt that Chief is looking at her with the wet eyes of a stray kitten herself.

However, it becomes almost immediately apparent that the cat hates Langley. He’s cuddled up and purring without a care in the world in Chief’s arms, but the moment the director approaches, his claws are out and he’s hissing and spitting with vindictive fury.

Judging by the look on Chief’s face, Langley figures she’s expecting her to take back her approval now  that the cat has lashed out at her. Instead, Langley just chuckles and says that as long as nobody gets hurt, the feline can be as grouchy as he likes.

She finds out later that she’s the only one the cat hates. He’s more than content to curl up on the laps of literally anyone else in the Bureau and be stroked. In fact, naming duties ended up falling into the hands of some of the younger Sinners – they decided on “Fluffy.” For a hairless cat. Langley is amused.

Fluffy lives a pampered life in the Bureau, and he’s soon allowed to come into hypnotherapy sessions to soothe nervous Sinners. If he’s not cuddling up with one of the inmates or rubbing against their legs, though, he is almost always with Chief.

This includes, somehow, every time Langley needs to go see her. He kicks up a fuss whenever she appears and if they lock him outside the room, he won’t stop howling and scratching at the door. It amused Langley at first – at least until she realized she was competing with a damn cat.

Still, Langley is neither cruel nor heartless, despite the reputation she’s carefully curated for herself as the Silver Spider, and she won’t deprive the Bureau of what has become an integral member of it. So, instead, she changes tactics.

Despite her incredibly busy schedule, she takes time out of it to go and sit in whatever room Fluffy is in. At first, it goes exactly as one would predict – he goes into his usual feline hissy fits, yowling up a storm, though Langley notes he never takes a swipe at her unless she gets too close.

As time goes on, the yowling dies into low growls and then into suspicious glaring. When she walks into a room one day and Fluffy looks at her only for a moment before going back to sleep, Langley can’t help but smile. Meanwhile, everyone else in the Bureau suffers from increasing confusion as to why the Director of the 9th Agency is spending more and more time doing… nothing?

The crux of the whole plan comes one day when Langley walks into her office and finds Fluffy curled up on her chair. Mission: befriend Chief’s cat, success.

It’s a relief to not be competing with a cat for Chief’s attention anymore, and as for Chief? Well, she’s just glad Fluffy no longer screams bloody murder whenever Langley walks into the room.

Oh yeah and this is a thing now I guess.

Welcome!

Welcome to stp-imagines! This is a new blog that focuses on headcanons and imagines (one-shots) for the video game Slay the Princess. A copy of the rules is below the cut for those who are mobile-bound, and for any Path to Nowhere fans, check out my other blog, @ptn-imagines!

Be patient. I am a single person struggling with chronic fatigue. I will try to get to requests as quickly as possible, but some wait time should be expected, particularly with imagines.

Be kind. Again, I am a single person, and my perspectives and interpretations of the characters may be different to yours. Be respectful when interacting with this blog, please.

No bigotry allowed. I will not tolerate any form of discrimination on this blog, whether it be LGBTQ+phobia, racism, ableism, religious discrimination, or anything along these lines.

Specify if a request is a headcanon or imagine. Headcanons are bulletpointed lists of, well, headcanons. Imagines are full one-shots. I will write the same request as both headcanons and an imagine, but not in the same ask.

Be specific. This greatly increases the likelihood you’ll get a satisfactory response. In particular, if it isn’t specified, I will assume the “reader” in each scenario is the Long Quiet.

I will write for fan-made Princesses, but again, being specific gives a higher likelihood of getting what you want. If you can’t fit all the information into an ask, you may send a DM with any addendums.

Please request no more than three characters in any given request.

I will write scenarios for the Long Quiet, the Narrator, and the Voices, not just the Princesses. Ask if uncertain. This includes romantic scenarios (such as Skeptic x Hero content, for an example).

I will write NSFW content. Please only request this if you’re 18+.

I will not write romantic or sexual content involving the Den (the Beast is fair game. She passes the Harkness Test).

I will not write content that includes p*dophilia, r*pe, in*est, or abuse. “X helping the reader to escape an abusive situation” and similar requests is alright, though I reserve the right to decline any.

Please do not use characters from other media as a basis for your request. If you want a Voice/Reader/etc. who acts like, say, Dante from Devil May Cry, you will have to describe the desired personality traits the long way (so for Dante: a flamboyant, larger-than-life personality which they use to cover up how much they deeply care).

any Sinner's you're just OBSESSED with for the longest time? 🐧

Like many lesbians in the fandom, Zoya. Shalom has rotted out my brain since the first anniversary too. And Rebecca, if we're counting NPCs.

Привет, человеку, который прислал запрос на русском языке, я хотела уточнить, вы ищете короткую историю или просто список хэдканонов? Сама просьба очень милая, и я знаю, что мне будет весело!

A friend of a friend translated this for me, so hopefully it's understandable!

[ptn-imagines]

Imagine ptn actor AU where the characters are serious when they are on set but behind they are a bunch of goofballs and being opposite personality of the character they act. Example Wendy in set is seen as crazy and all but behind the scenes they are a calm and collected... this is not a request this is a random idea that stuck in my head btw I hope ur doing alright

I will admit that I am a sucker for actor AUs, and I love thinking about them (ya'll aren't ready for my Slay the Princess actor AU /j). It's really funny imagining, say, Anne and Iron's actors basically swapping personalities compared to the characters they play. Mean Anne and gentle Iron... what a concept! They're not the only ones, either. I mean... imagine Hella's actor being the absolute sweetest teen you ever could meet.

[ptn-imagines]

though Coquelic is still the number one for me, her aura is juat a different breed of annoying, and I'm a sucker for it.🐧

If memory serves, this ask is about Bianca? Bianca definitely has quite the aura to her, I agree. I actually didn't like her at first, but progressing through her event actually pretty swiftly changed my opinion on her. She was a lot more than I expected her to be and I loved the plot twist! Her event left me thinking about a lot, especially in regards to our own modern society.
