      @@matthewgrant1622 Thank you! I’m really proud of this one. I’ve had these thoughts since I first played this route, and haven’t seen anyone come to the same conclusion, so I wanted to share them

    ‘You’ve become aware of what you used to be and in the process become aware of what you no longer are’ oooh I love that line!
    I think the nightmare and moment of clarity are a really good example of how the Long Quiet and the Shifting Mound are intrinsically tied together and kinda pull back the curtain on how all of this works. As the Long Quiet, you can’t change, but also you must change over and over again when you meet her. That’s why you always end every path back at the Mound, her influence makes some part of you like her (or more brings out the part that is always like her). And as Nightmare says she can’t change what she is, she’s stagnant like that. You both hold part of the other and in showing each other more of yourselves you are only drawn closer to each other until you fall in love or deny your own nature and destroy the other.
    Good video!

      Thank you! And I appreciate your fantastic comment, the Princess basically saying you can’t change her is a great catch, and I guess kinda comes back to the whole “being a contradiction thing” she is the embodiment of change, but that very fact is not changeable

    Very conveniently I see this after I finish watching the Save Data playthrough where they just got this route XD
    Great analysis!

      Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I need to get around to watching their whole playthrough, I’ve only seen a couple parts

    Great video! As someone who is relatively new to the Slay the Princess community, some things in the game left me pretty confused(probably because i haven't even seen all the vessels yet lol) and one of them was this very scene in the Nightmare this video is about, since the princess and the dragon (a vessel i saw pretty early on) said the princess also doesn't know much about the world she inhabits. I really like your proposal that it's meant to be kind of a foreshadowing of the ending of the game. I would really like to see your take in some other unexplained things in the game, like what is that thing after the long quiet the princess opens in the Apotheosis. Again, great video and i hope to see more amazing content from you!

      Thank you! I’m glad I could provide an explanation you enjoy! I’ll definitely make more STP videos in the future, though in regard to what you see in The Apotheosis, you may find the answer in one of the other endings…
