Theory

Canonically, in Slay the Princess, the Shifting Mound is a Princess because the Long Quiet sees her that way. Beautiful, above him, royal-the exact reason is never explained, but the Narrator gives you his theories.

But the Narrator tries his best to subvert the narrative you've made up. "No, the Princess is not an innocent, she's a part of an oppressive, feudalist power structure, that ought to be destroyed. Worth much less than a seamstress."

So, my question is-did the Narrator have a pre-existing grudge against royalty? Are there still kings and queens and princesses in the world he comes from? Does he have any first-hand experience, or is he just making up points to kill the Princess based off of what he's read in a textbook, a long time ago

I just think it's hilarious that the Shifting Mound is a Princess because you love her, and the Narrator is like "no, no-absolutely not-you monarchist!"

I don't know if I'm pro monarchy because I hate the violent murders of the monarchies in the revolutions (although that's part of it), or if I like monarchies solely because I've grown up knowing that it exists and it just offers the blandest feeling of safety or consistency or something. I don't know. Listen: I don't pretend to make sense. I hate money. I want to destroy all the money on earth. I hate cruelty and the idea that we have to work to be considered valuable for life. I'm basically a far left anarchist in my political thoughts. But then I also have the weird idiosyncrasies like my fondness for monarchies, and I have to wonder where it comes from. And I just wonder if it really is something as simple as the consistency.

Because despite wanting this world to be radically restructured, I also know myself. And I know that I'm someone who has a meltdown at the slightest sign of change. So I think there's a part of me that thinks keeping things like monarchies around is enough to content my brain. It's really the only thing that makes sense to me, because I'd otherwise really have no reason to care.

But I think I'm okay with being the only anarchist and monarchist out there. I'm fine with it, because I'm just happy I understand myself. Sometimes I don't understand myself, and I really hate that. But at least here I sort of understand why I get like this. I don't love to discuss politics on here, but I just had to write this down somewhere for my own knowledge. It's nice to understand myself.

Being a monarchist is so fucking gay. Imagine your whole ideology revolving around dickriding one mf and his stupid ass family. Gay as fuck.

Ok controversial question time: Are the Arclights monarchists?

Just look at them, man. They probably have pictures of the king on their mantel

No.

"Monarchy can easily be 'debunked', but watch the faces, mark well the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose taproot in Eden has been cut -- whom no rumor of the polyphony, the dance, can reach – men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch." - C.S. Lewis

Do you toys have a leader of some kind? If so then who is the leader? Also what government have you guys established?(Also it's the same guy from earlier)

Just watched the queen's funeral on the TV. It was interesting to see how well organised it all was but of course it was also very sad. People reminiscing about her etc. I loved the hymns especially, and the fact that the reporters were not or at least seemed not to be ashamed to talk about the queen's faith. At the very last moment that they caught on camera Charles looked absolutely devastated
