Hollow eyes watch from the dry corners of a memory. A home built on all the futures that were supposed to be, preserved until the moment of reunion. The fires of the heart set it all ablaze.

I don’t want to see us. I’m sure we all look awful after dying twice.

This one is like a shadow of me, twisting vines in search of answers. She will make for a curious heart.

Her voice… it’s somehow even more beautiful than last time. I can hear wedding bells already…

When I found you in The Long Quiet alone, I was terrified. What if you had decided to let me wither?

000

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 5h

I see you have returned to me. Even millennia mean nothing in the maw of forever. I never left your side.

This one is a single-minded edge. She is cruelty. But she is also joy. She will make for a piercing heart.

All that's left is for you to take my hand, and let. Me. Out.

No, don’t try romancing the Princess. She wants to kill you!

We are oceans reduced to shallow creeks.

Sick?! You took part in the murder of the fairest creature that’s ever lived, and you merely feel sick? I for one am absolutely distraught! Grief-stricken. Inconsolable!

Now I've become something so much worse and it's all! Thanks! To you!

A picture of a life, in a picture of a life, in a picture of a life. How deep must repetition still our movements until the very air we breathe is stale?

With every gift you bring me, I excavate the alleys of what I am meant to be, and every exploration yields new and complicated truths. What I will be is different than what I am and what I am is different from what I was.

000

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 14h

We were always going to kill each other here, weren't we? I can't trust you and you can't trust me and those doubts spin and spin and spin into HATE.

You have made a decision. It is the wrong one. I love you.

A thought is a vine, and some thoughts nurture thorns that bleed the soul. An endless growth that blots your vision and strangles your trust.

All of me is changing, and yet the rest of me is still the same.

Is this fun for you? It’s not fun for me. I don’t like being sliced to pieces.

000

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 20h

And you still don’t have a weapon! That’s funny! That’s a joke! I’m going to kill you now.

The corners of her mouth curl into a demure smile, and she gently takes your hand in hers. She’s cold, and a little clammy. But her skin against yours is the most real thing you have ever felt.

My gift to you is to let you choose your path, and my task is to treasure the gifts you bring me.

Are you a monarchist? Is slaying a princess that much worse than slaying a fisherman or a miller or a seamstress? If anything, slaying a princess is much better than slaying a seamstress. Seamstresses contribute something of value to society.

This one is passion betrayed. But even in the end, her love never faded. She will make for a bright heart.

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Will you place the images of ‘You’ and ‘I’ into a box for safekeeping? If you close that box, will you become another you in another world? An imaginary pattern repeating itself until it can no longer bear the weight of its hand-drawn cage.

000

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

This one yearns to grow and struggle. Even now I feel a will pushing against mine, not realizing that we are one. She will make for a bold heart.

My gift to you is to let you choose your path, and my task is to treasure the gifts you bring me.

Vague recollections. Empty tunnels without a mouth. I am sorry if I frightened you.

000

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

You are weightless and alone, suspended in the gravity of an idea too great for you to hold. The very ground beneath your feet loses its meaning. There is nothing but me.

000

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Cold spite. ‘Our infinities shrink into something less. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.

You’re all so mad at each other. I’m just going to sit here quietly in the corner. You can be the ones to figure out what to do.

000

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I care about your gifts, but I have no preference to burden you with. Even if I did, I would never dare to tarnish our relationship by assuming myself above you.

The desires of my multitude thrive in endless competition with themselves, but none of them rise above their dance to influence me.

I don’t want to see us. I’m sure we all look awful after dying twice.

She sounds… dangerous… It’s almost as if she’s the one in charge down here.

010

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

This one is guarded sorrow. She saw herself as alone but in the end had courage to share with another. She will make for a deep heart.

We are a path in the woods. We have no beginning, and we have no end, but something cold and unnatural sits watching us from just beyond our edge.

000

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Submit now. Submit later. It makes no difference, because in the end, no matter how vainly you struggle against me, my will triumphs over yours.

000

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

You’re sweet! I like you too! You’re probably my favorite person other than me. Still gonna kill you though.

000

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

You have made a decision. It is the wrong one. I love you.

010

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

She collapses into your arms, tears streaming down her cheeks. I can’t believe you’re making me describe this. I hate you.

000

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

And then, the two of you step out into the world. I… think this is the end of me. Even if it’s not the end of you. I hope this was worth it. Genuinely, I do.

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It’s no use arguing semantics over a metaphorical chicken-or-egg, because the egg is hatched and it’s about to ruin everything.

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

All that's left is for you to take my hand, and let. Me. Out.

This is a bad place. We're supposed to be together, but it keeps making us hurt each other.

010

Hourly Slay the Princess @hourlystp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

This construct you’re in contains every possible world at once. The fact that you managed to find one reality among trillions where I was delusional proves nothing.

When I succumbed to myself, you patiently stood by me and cut the thistles that rooted in my skin.
