Slaytober Day 18: The Eye of the Needle

Day 4 of @princessappreciationweek ft. Chapter III princesses variation.

Welcome, one and all, for the Princess battle of the century! Instead of Slaying the Princess here, we’ll be making your lovely Princesses (and/or Princes!) ✨slay✨ the stage and showcase everyone’s creations! Whether you’ve got basic recolors or full-blown AUs, crossovers or complex designs, we wanna see them.

I’m your host, Mod Sapphic (@sapphic-slaylist / @on-borrowed-paths), with Mods MJ (@mjlegends) & Coyote (@thelocalcoyote).

👾 Discord Server: Bwap!

🫀Current Tourney: TBA

Previous Tourneys: - Beast 🥩

How This Works:

🛡️Rounds are determined along the lines of Stranger’s Poem, going through each Vessel individually (Ex: Consumption is first, so Beast will be the first Vessel. Den will follow, before going into Betrayal). Joint Vessels’ rounds are at the end of the section, and can depict either or both variants (Ex: Wounded or Networked Wild, Drowned or Burned Grey, etc) or traits from either/both routes.

🛡️Contestants submit their vessel designs to the applicable Google Form for each tournament, where we’ll permit a min of 12 & a max of 40 designs (open for revision for popular vessels). One design submission per person. You can depict varied forms (ex normal & Stencil PATD), but do mention preference for which is “main.”

Once entries are in, we’ll randomly select participants to go up against each other for typical elimination.

We’ll keep going until there’s a determined winner!

What do you win? A sad feeling :c Jokes aside, this is just like VOT for bragging rights predominantly. But I’m sure you’ll fetch plenty of fanart/propaganda on the road to victory!

Rules:

🩸Cannonical Vessels only. Please submit only the vessel up in the running (you can choose which round to do for combo ladies).

🩸 Crossovers, Stylistic Choices & Abstract Designs are encouraged! Fan chapter continuations are very case-by-case (guide TBD), and all designs must be thematically recognizable.

🩸Designs must be owned by you, or submitted w permission.

🩸We are beginner friendly! If you’re having trouble, feel free to contact Design Helpers to get your ladies live. (Note: we’ll need at minimum a detailed description & a sloppy sketch.)

🩸Despite being set up in a Tumblr Sexyman style, this is more focused on design aesthetics & personal lore than hotness factor. Who they are, what they do, their relationships, if they’re in or out of construct, etc.

🩸No NSFW. Pretty outfits, flirty posing and mild dirty jokes ok, but anything overtly sexual/suggestive is not. Unfortunately, this also covers nonsexual nudity for safety/ease of moderation purposes.

🩸Assignment is random! [With the exception of option to be put in a bracket with other newcomers] If you are uncomfortable with a certain member, let staff know and we’ll try our best not to pair you. But do know as competition tapers, face-off may still be inevitable.

🩸We WANT to see your gender non-conforming & disabled designs! Just please be mindful of how you portray them. Ask Mod Sapphic (@sapphic-slaylist) if you have questions or concerns, and she’ll steer you towards the proper resources.

🩸No Proshippers. Former/recovered are fine, but no active ones (this is a personal boundary on Sapphic’s end and will not change).
