#Guinevere choices

[fuckyeaharthuriana]

Arthurian videogames with romances (I added a little rainbow for queer romances options)

(in order of pics above, from left to right, top to borrom)

Secret Kiss with Knight: Otome -> mobile game, classic otome game with pay to unlock extra content. The romance options are Arthur, Merlin, Mordred and Galahad. Not played, so I cannot add any commentary.

Princess Arthur -> another otome mobile game, unfortunately impossible to find if not in Japanese now. Multiple romance options: Tristan, Lancelot, Merlin, Galahad, Mordred (not Arthur's son), Gawain. You play as a female Arthur character. The route are pretty long and complex, and it was set in arthurian times (with other secondary characters like Medraut, Morgause, Kay etc.). Quite good game too.

Choices: Guinevere ️‍🌈 -> free mobile game from "Choices: Stories you play", where you play Guinevere and you can romance Arthur or Lancelot. Arthur and Lancelot are not gender locked so you can choose their gender too. The game is complete and deal with Guinevere romance too, her arrival to Camelot and some strange premonition of danger she is having.

Pendragon Rising ️‍🌈 -> text game from "Choice of Games" (you can also buy it on steam). You play as Arthur (male or female) and you have to consolidate power and save Camelot as Uther is aging. The romance options seem to be Morgana, Emrys and Gawain (their gender seems to be chosen by the player, I am not sure).

The Chronicles of Lancelot ️‍🌈 -> gay (mlm) p0rn game on itch io and steam. THIS IS NOT FOR MINORS. You play as Lancelot, branded as a traitor after Ban has been accused of killing Uther. You go around sleeping with various characters (Kay, Gawain, Arthur, OCs) and trying to find out what happened to Excalibur. I am currently playing it, so I am not completely sure, but it looks like Arthur might be more of a romance option than the rest of the flirting and sleeping with options.

Arthurian Tale: Camelot ️‍🌈 -> ongoing text game by @cain--abel, I have not played it. You can play as any gender and you arrive at Camelot after Uther's death to find out who is the pretender who took the throne (Arthur). The romance options are Kay, Lancelot, Arthur (or Elaine, depending on the gender), Morgana, Lunete. You can play it here.

The Bastard of Camelot ️‍🌈 -> ongoing text game by @llamagirl28 and my favorite arthurian videogame ever. You play as Mordred (any gender) since his early years, meeting Arthur for the first time (and you can also decide how to react to your estranged father) and growing up with your dragon friend. There are multiple romance options: Gawain (Kay's son), Elaine, Galahad, Nimue, Isac (OC), Sophie, Agravaine (not related to Mordred). You can play it here.

Guinevere Áine of Carmelide

I don't have much at all for my Guinevere yet since this will be my first time playing the book. Obviously, I'm familiar with Arthurian Legend but I don't know how similar or different this book is, so I'm waiting to add more.

The gorgeous portrait of my Guin is by the loveliest and most talented @lilyoffandoms. I can't thank them enough for bringing her to life! She looks so pretty!!! 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

@choicesbookclub

Áine is pronounced ON-yah and is a Gaelic name that means Radiance

Okay, but can I just say, Guinevere is doing an AMAZING job of portraying a love triangle without forcing it on the reader. Every romantic comment that the MC makes to the LIs is coded as a choice, with an alternate option that is platonic but equally meaningful, and the LIs never cross those boundaries that the MC sets but are still very clearly flagged as being love with her & aware of their competition for her affection. To give an example of what I mean, I’ve had zero trouble playing as an MC who has eyes only for Arthur, and yet I’m also very aware of Lancelot silently pining for MC and have seen that dynamic being enhanced by conversations that my MC perceives as friendly, like when she asks Lancelot to call her Guinevere instead of Princess in Chapter 7. When everything eventually reaches breaking point and Lancelot confesses their love, it’s going to feel very organic, and even though my MC never really courted Lancelot, the sense of turmoil on her part & of betrayal on Arthur’s will feel very organic too. It’s such a big change from stories like The Royal Romance, where it was impossible to romance anyone other than Liam without leading him on and dumping him mid-proposal, or even stories like Immortal Desires, where you could technically pick whichever LI(s) you wanted but the story just rang false if you didn’t romance both at once. Also, I know that the handling of the love triangle is just one part of PB’s challenge to adapt a fixed legend into a flexible CYOA, and I’m wondering if that extra pressure to think creatively is part of what has led to such a great dynamic. I’m just really, really enjoying it, and that’s rare for Choices nowadays. I can’t wait to see where the writers go next.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Beginning Sunday, July 16th, CFWC will begin sharing Choices Fanart!

Like with our fanfics, it would be best if you tag @choicesficwriterscreations. It's the only way to ensure we see it. But if we find art "in the wild," we will be happy to share that as well.

Rules:

Creation must be related to any Pixelberry Choices characters or stories.

The art must be your own creation, or

It can be a commission that you paid for; however, if the artist is on Tumblr, you need to tag them in the post. If they are not on Tumblr, must mention the artist's name, and we suggest including where they can be found (i.e., Instagram).

Like CFWC Fics of the Week, lists will be published on Sunday and include work from Sunday through Saturday of the prior week.

Works will be archived by story as well (for those unfamiliar, the CFWC Fics of the Week archive can be found here. The art will either be included or will have a similar archive just for art - we're still working that out.)

Tag us if you want to ensure it's included, but if we see art in the main tags, we will reblog and share it as well.

As with fictions, please use appropriate trigger warnings when necessary. Art that is of a mature or explicit nature must be labeled as such.

JULY AND AUGUST 2023 ONLY

Normally, we will only be sharing art from the prior week. But, since this is a new feature and we want creators to be seen & acknowledged, for the remainder of July and all of August, we will allow previously posted art to be shared.

To do so, please reblog the artwork and make sure to tag @choicesficwriterscreations and use the tag #cfwc art

If you have any questions, send an ask or reach out to the mods @jerzwriter or @cfwcmod-lucy

ive been on the choices app A LOT lately (🫣🫣🫣) & i have some unpopular opinions to share even though literally no one asked for them <3:

- the royal masquerade is SO criminally underrated, it deserves way way wayy more love. and honestly, trm has a way better royal plot & storyline than the entirety of the royal romance.

- speaking of the royal romance, i would choose arthur/artura anyday over liam. they’re based off of very similar archetypes, but for some reason i truly adore them even if i seem to be in the habit of having my mc date the intended love interests’ closest confidants <3

- look, i love immortal desires. no one’s doing it like my girl cas! but especially after replaying bloodbound recently, id simply cannot compare!! bloodbound is a masterpiece, the mc is literally one of the best mcs on the app, the lis are all SO good, the plot is so much more engaging and unhinged….. also rheya as the villian & the whole mc being descended from her blood keeper storyline? yeha that’s history. like sorry to id but you simply cannot compete where you don’t compare.

- the phantom agent is SO underrated it actually makes me so sad 😭 also my bby agent grey people hate them & for WHAT! i literally love them so much they are my precious little angel <3 also the mc? yeah an icon! the whole rowan situation and the drama of it all?!? such a solid book come on now people!

-speaking of lis who get way too much unnecessary hate— loml miss monroe from ms. match! they were SUCH a fun li & the book was such a fun read & honestly monroe is SO justified in being pissed i mean hell i would be so fuckin pissed if i was in their situation?!? anyways yeah i love them also she’s one of the prettiest sprites pb has ever made <3

After playing Guinevere and TRR, I can't stop myself from doing this 😂😂

Liam: Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

I'ma give you the world

I'ma buy a diamond ring for you

I'ma sing for you

I'll do anything for you, to see you smile

Arthur : And if that mocking bird don't sing and that ring don't shine

I'ma break that birdie's neck

I'd go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya

And make him eat every carat

So I have a thousand thoughts about Chapter 14 of Guinevere but I know they’re going to evolve very quickly in the coming weeks, so for now, all I’m going to say is this: it blows my mind how well the writers have managed to incorporate Merlin’s accusations of infidelity into Arthur’s romance route, to the point where they don’t just make sense, they also hit super hard emotionally & even raise some interesting ideas that don’t come up in Lancelot’s route. Like, the fact that Lancelot is so painfully in love with Guinevere, they fought so hard to suppress it until they finally snapped, and then all they get for that is a broken heart & the knowledge that Guinevere is at risk of death because of their momentary lapse in self-control? That is a devastating outcome for them. It is a tragedy in the traditional sense, the kind you would see in a Shakespearean or Greco-Roman play. And the writers don’t just skim over it, they lean right in. Then on top of that, what about the fact that Merlin’s accusations are now entirely baseless? The fact that he is now undeniably 100% responsible for orchestrating his own vision of Camelot’s fall, because there is no way Guinevere could have been accused of treason without his interference, but also that vision was what made him interfere in the first place? That particular plot point raises so many questions about predestination that are way more complex & nuanced than I ever expected from Choices, and the fact that they’re being raised in a choose-your-own-adventure game – a format that inherently challenges the concept of narrative predestination – is also insanely interesting to me. Watch this space for more thoughts, but for now, here are the screenshots that triggered this essay. I’m still getting over just how awesome they are.
