What makes you personally like princesses in fantasy?
>>44938253
Whether they actually demonstrate some qualities necessary for leadership outside of "is a princess."
>>44938296
That doesn't make sense.
I thought OP is asking what makes us akin to princesses, not what makes us agreeable towards them.
Why the 'personally' otherwise?
Anyways OP, personally it'd be my long luxurious locks of hair and the fact I sit in my room all day waiting for someone to save me.
>>44938341
Asking what qualities a princess can have that makes them endeared to one specific person instead of just addressing the question to the general population implies that OP wants a more exact and unique example of your own preference instead of a vague and general idea of what causes princesses in fantasy to be liked.
What makes dragons, and villains so attracted to princesses when they have less value than a prince, or a queen?
>>44938253
They stay pure even if corrupted by evil
>>44938253
BIG
POOFY
DRESSES
>>44938253
Elegance even in the face of utter chaos and diversity.
For example, >>44938296 is a shitty battle princess (though admittedly a great pirate princess which is what they were going for) whereas the Hyrule Warriors version of Zelda is wonderful battle princess, with that perfect mix of elegant style and combat readiness.
Also I just happen to love armored battle dresses no matter how impractical. Fucking sue me.

SO
/tg/, let's get this fair and square once and for all:
tell me ONE real folklore story where the hero saves the princess from the dragon. because I haven't heard something like that in any legend and whatnot outside entertainment
the following don't count
1. no adaptations, modern or not
2. no unsourceable generic archetypes
3. no literary fiction that took folklore as inspiration
come on
>>44938530
>diversity
I swear I put adversity there.
Thanks, phone.
>>44938533
St. George, right? As in, the original knight in shining armor vs dragon throwdown tale.
>>44938530
Those are more traits that any dignified maiden should posses, not exclusive to princesses.
>>44938253
A desire to put my penis in them and become king.
>>44938530
>Elegance even in the face of utter chaos and diversity.
Row, row, fight the Tumblr power!
>>44938566
Well yes, but a princess has to go above and beyond in terms of elegance, leadership, aversion to settling things through crude combat combined with the ability to see combat through to the end should diplomacy fail, as it is wont to do
Nothing in particular, really.
Long experience with fiction mostly teaches you that there is nothing inherently good or bad about ANY common or recurring themes in fantasy (or any fiction really); it depends on how they are used and how well the idea is executed.

>>44938533
St George and the Dragon.
>>44938573
I suppose that too. There is nothing elegant, refined, or noble about tumblr
>>44938253
They're pure, innocent, feminine and dress in elaborate outfits.
>>44938253
Possibility of fucking them. Also, they sometimes pay pretty good.
>>44938530
>lso I just happen to love armored battle dresses no matter how impractical
I suppose conceivably if you could find a light enough metal those 16th-century butress-style ass skirts could provide a nimble fighter with leg protection from arrows
>>44939036
Most fantasy settings have imaginary ores that provide max protection for minimal weight as well. Just make it out of those, even if it's rare and expensive.
She IS a princess, after all
>>44938253
when they are secretly a prince
>>44938253
Not necessarily mages, but decked out with magical items which grant them amazing power
>>44939233
I prefer when the prince is secretly a princess.
>>44939233
Trapfags are scum.
>>44938253
Through them you get access to sweet gear and some level of immunity from the law.
But I prefer queens to be honest
Sometimes they bake cakes.
>>44938500
Fluffy tail also appropriate
>>44938253
Warrior princesses in the most literal sense: princesses that go to war encased in a battle dress commanding their own army.

Fembo isn't a princess mate. Rich, yeah, but not a princess.
>>44938611
>>44938557
Did Saint George get a princess in that one? What I heard he just set out to kill a dragon, killed it but got wounded, and wherever his blood fell on the ground lilies grew.
>>44938253
>>44938478
Corrupting princesses is my fetish.
>>44940710
I don't think he "got" the princess, but I'm almost certain he was saving one
>>44940672
>Fembo
Her name is Bilmoe.
>>44938253
The fantasy part, where I can believe that for some unfathomable reason they might in fact have sex with me.
>>44940844
I'll still call it Fembo. And there's nothing you can do to stop me.
>>44940672
>fembo
Shame on you.
>>44940939
3DPD can be Fembo since she ain't moe in the slightest
>>44940947
>>44940949
Fembo, Fembo, Fembo. Whatcha gonna do about it?
>>44938533
Susano-o besting Yamata-no-Orochi and getting kushinada-hime
Perseus defeating Cetus, he saves Andromeda
I could actually think of some more given time, but yes, saving princesses from Dragons is older than dirt.

It's a genetic jackpot

St. George & the dragon is actually based on an older greek legends, in which a mighty hero goes to a town and sees it's got a lottery to feed virgins to a dragon, which he's okay with.
Then he sees that the latest lottery virgin is a cute little boipussy so the hero goes and fights the dragon, ultimately suplexing it off a mountain, killing both himself and the dragon and producing a water spring in crete or somewhere.

Princesses need to have sense of humor. Also any princess that isn't human is automatically a plus unless it's only a visual effect with no influence on the actual personality.
Possessive Tyrant Princesses are good too but that's more my fetish than anything.
back from lunch. FEMBO!

I am sentient and in many cases sapient. I exhibit all the normal metabolic processes. As far as I am aware I have parents. But there are a few key differences in ideology.
>>44944330
>>44942307
I don't recall Andromeda having a boipussy when Perseus killed that Dragon
I just like dresses.

She's a bastard, not a princess.
>>44938253
If they're pretty, but determined and loyal. Also, if they don't mind putting on some armor and mixing it up, I'm basically jelly
