Something something Aiden may see Evie a bit too highly he comes to view her as someone not that different from him while still of course finding her important and amazing, IDK I'm still thinking about this concept

Dirty Little Secrets cover but with Aiden and Evie, drawing by me

Attatching on the DLS soundtracks to this piece for the sake of mood and because they suit Aiden so well.

I *should* be redrawing this cover with my m!MC Dick and f!LI Peg. But then I thought of doing it with Aiden and Evie, and I couldn't help myself.

Berry's Band at the Beach, edits by me

Literally just now made a fullbody Ezra sprite, meaning I now have fullbody sprites for all of the Berry High band. Making his in-game outfits full-body will take a while, so for now, here's the band at the beach together. Ft. Evie, it can be either canon universe Evie who's a jock and was invited to join them by virture of being Aiden's girlfriend, or the AU where she joins band.

NGL, there was always something about the band's dynamic that stands out to me as opposed to the jocks and cheerleaders. Aiden, Myra, and Ezra kind of strike me as a really close friend group. I headcanon that Aiden and Myra have known each other since her first grade/his second grade, and Ezra and Aiden have known each other since middle school.

Also that Ezra the flirty rockstar and Myra the matchmaker are the biggest wingmen for Aiden and his relationship with Evie. They often give him advice, and take him shopping for outfits to impress Evie.

The seventh and last day of the first ever Aiden Zhou Appreciation Week begins tomorrow!!!!

I can’t believe we’re already at the end! But worry not, submissions for AZAW 2024 will still be accepted up until August 1, 2025. By which point, I plan to announce the AZAW 2025 prompts!

For Day 7, we’ve got three prompt choices!

The Pride prompt is very open-ended.

Pride could mean queer pride. Aiden is canonically queer (specifically bi/pan) regardless of your MC’s gender, due to his alternate romance option being the nonbinary/genderqueer Cameron Levy. So any Aiden shipping posts will be welcome under this prompt. Other queer headcanons/AUs you may have for Aiden will also be welcome!

Pride could mean disability pride. To me anyways, Aiden reads as very autistic-coded, and I quite like how it’s written in his storyline. But any other disability headcanons/AUs you may have for Aiden will also be welcome!

And of course, Pride could mean Aiden or other characters being proud of himself and/or of his achievements. Or maybe Aiden’s proud of another character– like in the HSS 3 band route; if your MC plays his solo at the concert, the narration mention his eyes gleaming with pride at you.

Culture/Ethnicity/Heritage is pretty straightforward. We get a few mentions to Aiden’s culture and heritage, such as him giving a jade necklace to MC for good luck, and sharing with MC a peppermint tea that became a family tradition as it was the first thing his grandparents tried when they immigrated to the US. But there’s always more to explore. Are there any traditions you think Aiden likes or participates in? What do you think

Finally, we have the Colors prompt. Are there any colors you think would be Aiden’s favorite? Or any colors or color schemes that would suit him? It’s up to you!

Don’t forget to read the guidelines before submitting! Otherwise, have fun!

[aidenzhouappreciationweek]

The sixth day of the first ever Aiden Zhou Appreciation Week begins tomorrow!!!!

For Day 6, we’ve got two (somewhat similar) prompt choices! This time, they’re a little more meta.

The AU prompt is pretty straightforward. Is there a part of the canon for Aiden that you would have happen differently? Or maybe you want to explore a “What if” scenario for Aiden. Or maybe you want to imagine him in an entirely different setting or situation?

The Crossover prompt is also very straightforward and can somewhat blend with the AU prompt. This can be a crossover with other Choices stories, or it can be with non-Pixelberry media. Maybe you want him trying on the outfit of a character from a different media. Or maybe you want to see him interact with other characters from a different media. Or maybe you want to imagine how he’d fare in the storylines/situations of other media. It’s up to you!

Don’t forget to read the guidelines before submitting! Otherwise, have fun!

Important Evie/Aiden Parallels

"You're one of the most confident people I know"

Evie/Aiden coming full circle

The roller rink trip, where Evie reassures Aiden about the crappy halftime performance.

On Hearst's rooftop, where Aiden thanks Evie for reassuring him, and reveals that Evie inspires him. And then Evie reveals that he inspires her too.

In the band room at homecoming, where Aiden is upset about having trouble talking to Evie, and Evie reveals that she struggles with it as well.

At the coffee shop, where Aiden reassures Evie about her upcoming basketball season.

No words really, just <3 <3 <3

@aidenzhouappreciationweek for Day 3: Romance Relationships

[aidenzhouappreciationweek]

The scene of Aiden and MC coming full circle, but with Evie.

Honestly, I originally like to pick either the first or third options, but the more I think about it, I can see Evie being a bit nervous. Of the three HSS sports, basketball is the one she's most experienced with. So technically she has less to worry about, but also it means it'd be extra upsetting to her if she screwed up the games.

The way these two uplift each other and understand each other is <3 <3 <3 <3
