Lil' Sea Cave 🔞

For the game Slay the Princess, made by @blacktabbygames!

With probably 40+ hours poured into this project, I present the most completed choice tree (to my knowledge) based upon the Pristine Cut! Now including as many edge case/Specific scenarios I know of.

I hardly post here, but I'm really proud of this so I thought I'd share it. The original one I used for inspo/reference is made by Stafilo on reddit.

Ended up making three different versions, each with a different atmosphere (tell me which version is your favorite) ✨

The vampyr

A couple scenes from a little gay vampire story I was kicking around a couple years ago! I sometimes do little pencils-only scenes for things and never post them. But I was looking back at these and was like why not? They're cute!

The voice of the Skeptic

My main idea when I was designing Skeptic was an "old grizzled detective" and by the time I finished he became my friend's favorite, silly dilf. I love how much complexity all these guys have in character i could make literal essays on all of them and what I think about them, I love them so much.

Previous (Hunted):

The Vampyr is a vessel born from you deciding to go back on your initial decision of slaying her, and attempting a resuscitation. From this interaction Vampyr comes to believe she is frail and, and can only rely on you for staying alive and well. She assumes that since you regretted hurting her once before, you'll never turn against her again. Thus you two are put in a dynamic of her being entirely reliant on you for anything she may need or want. While she's sweet and gentle on the surface, if you try to push her out of her comfort zone, she will become either whiny or panicked fast, guilting you into not pushing her any further. The Voice of the Loyal is heavily plays into this dynamic, as he believes by resuscitating the princess in chapter 1, you demonstrated a need to never let anything bad happen to her. The Princess is someone important to you. Loyal always advocates for friendship with the Princess, but it comes at the cost of him wanting you to keep your head down and enable the more unsavory requests the princess may make.

Possible endings- Be her servant forevermore (Naive Heart) or Free her from the cabin (Fresh Heart)

The Second Circle (unoffically also known as "the succubus") is the result of vampyr drinking you to death, either willingly or after attempting to escape from her. Either way, your death was an accident as she was unaware of how much she was taking, and she becomes horrified at being bereft of you again cause of her actions. The Second Circle now not asks for comfort like Vampyr does, but promises Comfort and sanctuary under her wing, never needing to ever leave her side. She is attractive, she is warm, she is everything you could want. dont leave her. dont leave her. dont leave her dont leave he-

No matter what ending you get with her, she makes for a Fevered Heart.

The Lychgate is the final vessel you can get through Vampires chapter. You can also see her through @letoilepourpre 's "The Witness" as well!! While what motivates Lychgate differs on which princess you previously saw, one thing remains the same - Lychgate wants your soul. If you can't convince her to not take it in time, you have no choice but to be her source of power forevermore.

Saying you want me to get doxxed again is not the great look you think gives your side.

Cursed Bloodweave Week

This One's for the Haters.

People like to complain on the internet. In the Bloodweave corner of said internet, there are certain tropes people love to complain about.

This is a week to celebrate those tropes in art or writing. Starting on Father's Day in honor of the much maligned Daddy Dom Gale.

Q&A:

Who's running this thing?

Direct your complaints to patheticfangirl.

Wait a minute! I like [trope]!

Yeah, I like some of these tropes too. That's the idea.

Create without apology. No matter how many people hate a trope, there's someone out there who will appreciate the weird little things your brain can conjure.

Grrr! I hate [trope]!

Yeah, I hate some of these tropes too.

The solution is simple: Don't like, don't read.

So you won't be reading every submission?

I won't be reading any Pregnant Astarion entries. Sorry. I have backup readers for that. But I stand by the fandom's right to impregnate that vampire.

Do I have to include both prompts for each day?

Nope. You can pick either prompt, but I have paired them so it would be easy to include both if you're so inclined. You're also welcome to mix and match. I'm not a cop.

What does [prompt] mean?

Prompts are open to interpretation.

If you believe your Astarion is a twink, then he is. What you consider to be 'soft' or 'distressed' or 'self-insert' is entirely up to you.

What about 'That One AU You Despise'?

Consider it a challenge to write something you personally don't enjoy.

Hate coffee shop AUs? Try writing one.

Hate cavemen AUs? Try drawing one.

You don't have to do it. No one's forcing you. But you might just discover something you like in something you hate, and wouldn't that be a neat development?

Can I roast or parody the trope I hate?

Sure, if you want. There's an audience for that too.

If you find yourself on the other side, thinking 'they're making fun of Vampire Spawn Gale' when he's your favorite pookie of all time or getting upset when pregnant Astarion schedules an abortion, just remember it's not that serious. None of these characters are real.

Can I include another ship? Poly Bloodweave?

As long as there's Bloodweave, sure.

It's even sort of expected for BJ Queen Gale.

Three Rules:

Don't use AI.

Don't be a dick (posting racism/sexism/transphobia, bashing creators in your notes, neglecting to tag archive warnings, etc.).

Have fun. You remember fun, right?

Slay The Princess is on sale btw

MY DEN MASK!!

The color is not as even as I would have liked and the felting is also a bit messy and wrinkled in places, but I think it turned out really good nonetheless

The eyes supposed to glow in the dark!! They do so very faintly, but glow nonetheless.
