Name every Shiftling

Say hi to your resident pessimistic and empathetic little bird, The Broken! Remember how I said Hero was the most normal voice.

Wanted to dable a little bit on the Eldritch aspects of the Long Quiet, he is weird bird/dragon/shadow guy. So the voices probably are able to operate in similar ways, and what better way to express it than to show the little parts of change that they still have in them? If Apotheosis has sprawling strips with eyes on them, then Broken has inward cracks with the same thing! Also can anyone guess why I made his mouth ambiguous?

Based his design on the Tower's comments, "You are quiet shadow". For this reason he has almost no contrasting colors.

Who should I do next?

I had to reload stuff so many times to get certain things I briefly had every route-changing choice memorized. Anyone else get super addicted? I love this game

Finally, FINALLY I DID IT, I designed a skull!! This was so very difficult, and I am up FAR PAST my bedtime, but it's good enough!! I hope you enjoy.

It's a cross between a human, equine, and corvid skull. The teeth are human teeth set in a horse pattern. I rotated the eye-socket so that both positions (pictured at the top) would feel like a natural pose.

There are two mandibles. I refuse to explain, or even figure out, how they work.

Because of Narrator's lovely scent descriptions, I assumed that TLQ is rather sensitive to smell. So I made the nasal cavities HUGE. (it also felt silly, so that was of course necessary)

Over the beak, there's a finely-covered layer of muscle, acting as lips. They contract and shift so that they can both OPEN to reveal the jaw, and TIGHTEN to close the mouth. (Also because I refuse to have the Thorn Kiss be explained in the manner of "Jaw Kiss gains new meaning")

Have further questions? Feel free to ask!! I 100% have everything thought out, and DO NOT plan on just making it up as I go along!!

(Also I had to make up a bone, bonus points to whoever finds it!!)

Alright, so I just finished Slay The Princess (Pristine Cut) and after every time I get a new vessel, I gave it a name that suits what happens! YOUR jobs are to try and correctly guess which custom names belong to which vessels. Through completely 100%ing the game, I found out that there are 63 different vessel outcomes in total. There are many that share the same heart, but have a different outcome! Keep that in mind. An example would be #2 and #3. They are the same heart, but they had a different path to get to them. Every time there is a correct answer in the replies, I will edit the post to confirm them and credit whoever made the guess each time. One last word of note! This is also a ranking of my favorite to least favorite vessel outcomes, so the good endings are probably near the top... Feel free to ask questions to clear up any confusion, I'll make sure to reply relatively quickly and update the post with anything I can clear up. ANYWAY, have fun guessing!

Note #1 The Thorn ending where you free and kiss her is different from the one where you do NOT kiss and free her in this list.

Paranoid is the mvp!

Prisoner would probably be the smart kid Contrarian is probably class clown My mind is empty now 🫠

Let’s have some fun tonight! What would the Freudian identities (Id, ego, and superego) be for both the princesses and the voices? Let’s have a good and fun discussion!

Or at least something about after the ending in general is fine, but when Hero says something the others finding their way back, I really wanted to see or think how would that play out…

Or even just the voices interacting, their dynamics and interactions really are the bread and butter along with the princess as a response to their choices and predisposition that affects the entire body as a whole…

I'm doing another something~ Heheheh.

1. Hero

2. Contrarian

3. Oppertunist

4. Cheated

5. Skeptic

6. Hunted

7. Stubborn

8. Cold

9. Broken

First part

Voice of the Deranged: There's only one more person left to ask. Decider, are we going now?

The Princess (us): "Yes... Let's go..."

[I smile back as we head hand in hand towards the door, and towards freedom.]

The Princess (us): "Hey... I don't think I've ever gotten your name... Also... We're going to be free but..."

[I hesitate before we reach the door, stopping in my tracks.]

The Princess (us): "I... I feel like... something bad is going to happen... I can't explain it but..."

[I desperately turn towards him with fear in my eyes.]

The Princess (us): "Could we maybe stay here a bit..? Like chat a little..? ...Please...?"

[I plead to him scared and desperate.]

The creature: "But... this is our chance for freedom... Should we really just stay in this dilapidated cabin?"

The creature: "But I guess we can stay here for a little bit if it makes you feel safer."

The creature hides a frown, seemingly unsure about this decision...

Voice of the Princess: I'm not sure he's happy about this decision.

Voice of the Deranged: Who cares if he's happy. What matters is we're happy.

Voice of the Princess: Are we happy? I mean the cabins not exactly the nicest place to stay.

Voice of the Deranged: Hmm, you do have a point. There's not exactly much to do. It could get a little boring. If only we had a better cabin...

Voice of the Princess: It's not like we can change that anyways.

Voice of the Deranged: Or maybe, we can.

Voice of the Princess: Wh-what do you mean?

Voice of the Deranged: Last time we died, the cabin changed, remember? Maybe if we die again, the cabin will change again.

Voice of the Princess: We are not doing that.

Voice of the Deranged: Oh yes we are.

You stab the pristine blade into your own heart...

Voice of the Princess: What?! You can't control us.

Voice of the Deranged: But I just did, silly. Giggles. That was fun. I wonder what else I can control.

Voice of the Princess: Stop it!

Voice of the Deranged: Too late. Hehe.

Everything goes dark, and you die...

But just like last time, you come back to life...

You find yourself at the head of a long table...

A voice that you once heard merely in your head now echoes across the room...

Voice of the Deranged: "See? I'm in control now. We're gonna have so much fun!"

Voice of the Princess: I don't think I like this.

Voice of the Devoted: It's not the worst, right? If this is like last time, our hero will come back for us. Maybe this will give us a chance for us to talk.

Voice of the Princess: I hope so, but Deranged being in control doesn't exactly fill me with hope. She wasn't the most sane before.

Voice of the Deranged: What are you talking about? I only want us to have fun. Don't you want to have fun?

Voice of the Princess: I'm not sure we all have the same definition of 'fun.'

[Top comment chooses what the Princess (not the voices nor TLQ) says or does next. Actions are [text], talking out loud is "text", and talking to our voices is just the text on its own]

I just finished my first play through (I will definitely 100% this game) and was amazed. I got the “a new and unending dawn” ending.I had watched playthroughs but oh my gosh I thought baldurs gate 3, Detroit become human and Elden ring were great games but this far surpasses all of them combined. I just wanted to share my thoughts.
