I wish each individual chapter of a fic on AO3 had the date when it was posted, rather than just when the fic was first posted and when the last update was.  

That way you can see at a glance how often a WIP is updated, whether it’s fairly regularly or with huge long gaps between chapters; or if the first 20 chapters were posted in quick succession but the most recent couple were posted at long intervals, indicating that the writer is losing interest and may not finish, etc.  

Someone just liked this 10 year old post and tagged it “wishlist” and I feel obliged to add that immediately after posting this, in 2014, I was informed that this DOES exist. So for those of you who don’t know:

There ya go @oa-trance!

that one time when i made the princess into a dnd character

she was a shapeshifter warlock, and the sweetest thing you have ever met. ... until one of the npc's called the party "a bunch of sewer rats" because they lived in the worst part of the town. you know what happened next.

story where a hero has to save a damsel in distress that is being used as a sacrifice by the villain . but turns out the damsel is in on it and she and the villain are working together to get someone pure of heart (because those are the best for sacrifices)

ends with the hero the damsel and the villain in a polycule

ah yes, the four horsemen of “Play it but I can’t tell you anything about it”

heh. nice argument. unfortunately for you, i’ve been trapped in a time loop for the last 6 months and i know exactly what to do [kisses you with tongue]

So in highlight of that collectors edition...

Slay the Princess text posts

Headcanon that TLQ speaks without a voice.

Like, what he says and how he says it is very much audible. His words, his tone, what he emphasizes and how much he emphasizes them. Even some of the normal qualities of how voices work are still there, like how it’s harder to make out what he’s saying if he’s behind a wall or far away.

But the voice itself just…isn’t there? No cadence, no pitch, everything that determines what a voice sounds like is missing.

It’s like…text that your brain registers directly as words. Dialogue from a character in a visual novel who hasn’t been granted a voice.

So I've been looking at the "slay the monster" stuff and i think the stuff I've seen is neat i gotta ask. Has anyone thought about it where the goal ISN'T to slay the monster but to be a sacrificial maiden for the monster. A switching of places but not of roles.

I mainly ask this because i think it'd be very interesting to instead of the narrator painting the creature as something that deserves to be killed whose entire existence would be better off destroyed, it would be the narrator trying to show you how good it would be if you just let the monster devour you. You're a princess so obviously they wouldn't have sent you away if they COULD do something else. Look at how nice this cabin is, wouldn't it be lovely to rest here while doing a good thing. The monster while powerful and scary is gentle and will allow you to pass painlessly. Go on princess, step into the beast's maw and slip away into a deep slumber forever....

I do feel like the princess wouldn't be instigating the resets but the monster. I feel like it could play on the monster always wanting to desire something. The "cold" route (aka just doing what you're told with no hesitation) would be interesting. Imagine seeing a lady wordlessly step into your maw and allow herself to be devoured. While the stp cold route is vengeance of a killer i feel like it'd be the opposite. A curiosity the monster couldn't sate as it sat there after that odd event. They could feel time slowly pass now that they had an unanswerable question. Eventually becoming too much to bear so they die and it starts up again.

Anyways i mainly think it's interesting purely because the vibes of everything would be so different.

But it's too late now, isn't it? Some things, when honked, can never be unhonked. Everything goes dark, and you're pied.
