these lines got removed but I can’t help but think of them all the time…

I think they’ll be back in the pristine cut? but I’m not sure. I hope they do.

i don’t know, they just mean a lot to me. feels like despite being only 1 line for each, they give a lot more depth to both smitten and cold.

they add emphasis to how they’re near opposites; smitten being completely guided by his emotions and cold feeling pretty much nothing. and both of them are perfectly fine as they are.

the burned grey is honestly probably one of my favourite routes (but it’s hard to say since I love so many of them) and I love seeing these two interact.

(i also kinda ship them tbh…)

pichlive:

ddldahsldsdshladslhdas this is such a cunty move. and implies that the player has more of an attachment to the knife.

the long quiet x pristine blade is my otp.

man, the skeptic could’ve been so much sillier. wink.

prisoner was one of my first routes, i was expecting him to have more funny moments but nah…

he’s still probably like the smartest voice. like, doesn’t he figure out the prisoner’s plan? at least that’s the impression i got.

there is a little contrarian demon in all of us and i’m unleashing it right now

remember: do it for the funny.

i’ve been thinking a lot about shifting mound’s damsel lines from when you fight her. they’re very clever.

“your lover drives a stake into your body. and another, and another, and another. do i miss your heart because i can’t stand to see it go?”

“but the stakes meant nothing to you. you had a desire, and you set that desire free, you lifting me and me lifting you, forever and ever and ever. consumed by true belief, there was nothing that could hold us back.”

the wordplay here is insane; the double meaning of stakes, the double meaning of miss. god the writing of this game is phenomenal.

might be my favourite line out of all the vessels. moment of clarity’s is definitely a close second though, and honourable mention to wraith if you don’t struggle and free her, the greys and the witch. still haven’t gotten the “there are no endings” ending because i LOVE fighting the shifting mound solely because of her lines.

the entire razor route is hilarious.

cheated is funny as shit, razor herself is funny as shit, the narrator getting talked over and just going “yeah sure whatever, I’ll shut up then”, contrarian, The Look™ (we’ve all used it), the voices being into flirting with her, stubborn 🤝 smitten when she does her bladey explosive transformation thing…

and while she is the funniest princess, honourable mention to the wraith because I think she’s second. “what do you mean what happens now, you wanted this!” then her calling you an idiot, or when she argues with the narrator over the door, her thanking the opportunist after he says she’s doing well with her narration… great route, tbh. funny.

this game is so good lol I love so many of the routes. my favourites are probably the burned grey, the wraith, the razor and the moment of clarity.
