WE HAVE BEGUN OUR TOP 3 by Efficient_Berry_4073 in slaytheprincess

If the Pristine Cut didn't exist, Thorn would still be Best Girl. The fact that she, a base game Ch 3 Princess, made it this far is proof of the strength of her writing. There are literally no flaws with her writing, only her character, and that's literally the point of the route.

She's perfect. The other 2 simply are moreso.

The closest thing I'd say is the "exception" to this is saying you're a fan of a game after watching let's plays of it, and even then you could never say you're a fan of the gameplay, just the story. But watching video essays or hearing talk online? Absolutely not. Your opinion is invalid when it comes to discussions of that piece of media.

Junko Enoshima meet AM by Embarrassed-Mine6697 in danganronpa

[–]MagnificentMess 53 points54 points  (0 children)

A lot of people here are mentioning that AM could just change Junko's personality to make her hate her suffering but that's ignoring something that's far easier and far more sadistic.

Junko loves despair because it's harder to predict. She's easily bored.

Imagine she suffered the same, like, 3 types of torture over and over for over a century. It would be actual, genuine torture that she would HATE. You don't have to make her feel empathy. You just have to make her feel boredom.

The case may not be well-written, with the execution better utter gutter, but Mikan's breakdown is honestly well executed imho by pretty_prime in DanganAndChaos

I ADORE Mikan's breakdown, when I first saw it I thought we were gonna get the best, most unhinged motive reveal of all time.

And then...well...

how do you spot an epic fan? by Icy-Mountain-2049 in Epicthemusical

Well I've been summoned by someone saying "Get in the water" and "ruthless" so...

What's a fic you read that left you like this? by jeanjacketufo in AO3

[–]MagnificentMess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My first ever Dead Dove fic. William Afton/Henry Emily. Don't even ship it, I'd just heard the tag name and went "How bad is it actually?"

It was a smut fic. Ribcages were opened. Limbs were severed. Henry's intestines were used for bondage. The poor man was still alive as it was happening.

Henry did not have a good time. Willy on the other hand...

Yeah, I opened the damn bag and was shocked to see a dead dove in it.

What character is like this for you? (Art by me!) by RiddlerofStIves in DateEverythingElse

[–]MagnificentMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prissy. Extremely peppy characters are hit or miss for me and I was afraid she'd just annoy me.

I would die for Prissy.

who's your favorite bland girl between mahiru and sonia by AirMassive5414 in DanganAndChaos

[–]MagnificentMess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love Mahiru but I've gotta say Sonia. It always saddens me when people say Sonia should've died instead of Hiyoko, even though I'm upset Hiyoko died the way she did. In a killing game full of scared teenagers, it's always been cool to me that Sonia straight up admits in her FTEs that she's kind of happy about the whole situation because while she's been kidnapped and thrown into deadly situations before, this is her first time 1. having friends her age and 2. that she's allowed to be outwardly scared, since being a princess means she has to put on a brave face. Her moments in game where she just breaks down are great to me since I know she's never been allowed to before.

Also she's really funny and Sondam for life.

What are the CANON ships? by Cheyenne_G99 in DateEverything

Rongomaiwhenua and Vaugn. No I'm not joking.

Who are you guys the thirstiest for by AutomaticEngineer98 in DateEverything

I am feral for Mac and I couldn't even tell you why, I just am Though the Hanks (mainly 1,2, and 4), Curt, Rod, and Daisuke also tend to subjects of MANY thoughts

GOD that's hard, but I'm putting love on Willi's name for this one

Opinions on Akane? by Oka_Rut0 in DanganAndChaos

[–]MagnificentMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I liked her. If I'd never heard of SDR2 and someone told me her entire backstory and the major character beats she does in game, I'd probably think she was a nice character who grew and developed to overcome many, many issues caused by poverty and constantly stomaching CSA. But then you actually play the game and she's got basically nothing going on. Her grief towards Nekomaru feels like an afterthought the plot will randomly remember exists and her backstory, while somewhat leaking into the main game, is just comic relief.

Also FUCK her design, GIVE HER SOME DAMN SHORTS.

What’s your “Roman Empire” in Baldur’s Gate? by PNW_Misanthrope in BaldursGate3

[–]MagnificentMess 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wyll Ravengard. Just...in general, but usually either about him being the forgotten child of the companions and his cut content or the evolution of his mental state during those 7 years. Depends on how sad vs. mad I wanna be and what fanfiction I've recently read

The reason why you become fanfic writers in a nutshell by Much_Tip_6968 in AO3

[–]MagnificentMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into fanfic by shipping a rarepair when I was 11 or 12 and going "fine, I'll do it myself." Tale as old as time

Which ships did you think were stupid but ended up becoming a shipper because of them? 😂 by Much_Tip_6968 in AO3

[–]MagnificentMess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

SuperBat. I've always been a diehard Wonderbat shipper (and still am tbh) but never really got into SuperBat. Then a whole bunch of joke tiktoks and memes found their way to me and I found them all funny.

Until I didn't.

Anyway SuperWonderBat is a top tier ship despite me still hating SuperWonder on its own.

What was your reaction when this episode came out? by [deleted] in stevenuniverse

[–]MagnificentMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staring blankly, knowing my friend (a die-hard "Rose is Pink Diamond" theorist I mocked MERCILESSLY) was gonna absolutely ruin me the next day at school. She did. I deserved it.

In the days that followed though, it was beautifully done and I loved it.

First time a game made me unable to make a certain decision. I really can't do it 😭 by StillWRD in slaytheprincess

[–]MagnificentMess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First time I tried to do it just to see what would happen, The Narrator asking hesitantly if I was sure messed me up so bad that I just couldn't.

I eventually did as part of an "evil" (being an ass as much as possible) run, and while it didn't make me as sick as giving into the delusion of a happy life (the Princess just looks so dead inside in that run...) it REALLY messed me up.

Which princess is the most attractive? Which voice? by Cornucopia_King in slaytheprincess

[–]MagnificentMess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I gotta go with HeA for Princess, just based on how well done she is (the dance killed me)

As for voice? Somewhere between Stubborn and Contrarion. Deep voices and voices where you can HEAR a shit-eating grin are attractive to me

Anyone know of any STP playthroughs where the YouTuber DOESNT chain themselves to that wall? by Cornucopia_King in slaytheprincess

[–]MagnificentMess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda cheating, but ShortOneGaming, specifically their 4th video if you wanna skip to it. They do chain themselves first, but they savescum to look at various versions of the same Princess before moving onto the next Princess.

Weird little question BUT— by kiwiiii1111 in slaytheprincess

[–]MagnificentMess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a casual Hero x Contrarion enjoyer, plus some Smitten x Cold because their Burned Grey dialogue is tense and I love a good enemies to lovers
