#1 cold fan, and #1 shifty/princess defender @voiceofthefrigid - Tumblr Blog

main blog | art sideblog | twitter | bluesky

hello! we're legion! you may know us specifically from our previous blog or our longfic!

we recently moved here from @voiceofthelionhearted, as we still haven't gotten our blog back, and don't have high hopes of that happening with how tumblr functions in regards to its low staffing. getting shadowbanned has a silver lining, though -- we really wanted a cold-themed blog after he became our favorite, but felt wrong about renaming our other blog after we had made so many original posts xD

in any case, previous activities will now continue here. our personal tags will be:

we have no dni and block freely. we would appreciate it if others would do the same! PLEASE block us if you dislike voice shippers, as we are as such, in addition to our love for shifty and the princesses.

our asks and dms are always open! most of us love to chat, but can be shy about interacting with others unprompted! if you want to send an ask for one of the ask games that we've reblogged, you can check our ask game tag, and then just specify which one you're referring to!

‼️BLOG UNDER CONSTRUCTION‼️

thinking about slay the princess. Ive seen queer readings of the game before and i respect the hustle but i feel like a lot of them miss the point of the player character being a man and the princess being a woman. Theres a very intentional gender dynamic happening and thats a chunk of the point i think?

The long quiet is constructed with more agency than the princess and the princess has to be on her guard with you because of the nature of how the Construct constricts you both to your particular roles, you as the agent with control who's been instructed to be the aggressor despite the little instinctively empathetic voice in your head telling you that its wrong, and the princess as a prisoner of your interaction despite anything she might be capable of or any hope that you'll be kind, in the same way that men are often taught to be forward and aggressive while women are taught to be on the defensive against the risk of dangerous men. Like to me thats flagrantly a metaphor for how the societal construction of patriarchy and oppositional sexism can make dating women as a man and dating men as a woman become a minefield of trust and power dynamics instead of an open, free relationship of equal comfort and agency, and the subsequent evolutions of those routes explorations of how past dating experiences can color future ones or change your perspective on the past. If your last girlfriend hurt you, you may fear the next doing the same, or if you hurt your last girlfriend, the guilt may haunt you into your next relationship, and so on.

and thats reflected by the princess as a creature of perspective warped by how you percieve her as the Other, and also reflected in how there is One Specific Way this interaction is Supposed To Go if you listen to the narrative being sold to you and the game tells you in no uncertain terms to accept and follow it without question will leave you miserable and Cold, each new voice in the long quiet's mind a new lense to see the other Through.

Which isnt me saying a queer reading shouldnt be done in fact i think its, at times, one of the bisexualest games ive ever played where nothing explicitly same gender attracted is even possible because its most hopeful and healthy endings come from choosing to say fuck allllllll that noise and learn to intimately understand eachother's perspective with compassion and respect eachother's agency as fully realized people now that you're seperate yet intertwined despite how the narrative tries to pit you against eachother and treat you as two irreconcilable opposites rather than one whole thats been split apart arbitrarily by some guy who probably never bothered to understand why his wife left him when he thought everything was perfect because they were doing what they were Supposed To and decided that meant he should put together a plan to kill the concept of change to prevent 'the end of the world' even after he's long dead, a ghost, and Echo, and now you, the inheritors of this man's decision to split you into two beings in a construct made in no uncertain terms to keep you from understanding eachother, have to navigate being separated concepts and decide what your connection ought to look like. why else would 'happily ever after' be the first and only thing to make the narrator admit maybe he'd been trying to do something horribly wrong, if an eternal ending of static, shallow, conflict-free unconditional love where youre both far too afraid to challenge your roles and change even if the spark is dying and it rots in your mouth, and even you, his god-monster crafted symbolically in his own image, could let her go, and leave together on good terms so you can both move on to experience a brighter future, whether that be together or not.

for anyone who'd been following "we are burning our fingers / but we learn and forgive" while we were updating it, we apologize for the long hiatus. our burnout aside, some stuff happened with someone we considered a friend within the fandom. we thought we were just very close, but recently realized we were in a traumabond with them while they abused us the whole time. as you can imagine, this has left a mark on us -- especially given the fact that, any time we expressed an interest in writing for another fandom, they would take that as an opportunity to remind us of our "starving fans" -- and we are unfortunately writing to say that we will likely be putting the fic on an indefinite hiatus, and we will potentially leave the fandom altogether. we saved our notes for it, so perhaps we'll be back in a few years or so to finish it up. thank you for your patience, love, and support. we'll perhaps see you later -- whether that be in another fandom, or if and when we finish the fic

#slay the princess #yeah we're maintagging this shit #we did that for the fic itself #so we're doing it for this solemn update #apologies everyone #we love you all and we appreciate your kindness and support

Daily Princesses + other doodles

I tried challenging myself to doodle the princesses everyday, starting with Chapter 1

Then my finals rolled around and I stopped 🥀

They're all such good ways to vent my frustrations during finals week loll. Then I had to lock in (pretty good results though!)

Heres other older stp doodles i never posted (Except for the 1st one which was recent)

contrarian being scared of change because he only knows how to break the rules if he’s familiar with them.

and so

Contrarian hates feeling helpless. His attitude is a direct result of wanting to take control of a narrative that will always confine its participants, and seeing through it (as much as he can), while other voices usually stay on-script. He is used to the rules, so he knows how to play the game, but when actual change happens he falters. He can’t have control over something he doesn’t know, and without control you are helpless.
