ROD Loading Screen but I genderswapped the characters, drawing by me

So this is my first drawing on here. Not sure how often I'll post my art though, since I'm still working out a lot of things with my artstyle. Like, it's very hit-or-miss for me lol.

Anyways, I did like how this one turned out for sure, so I'm sharing it. I think both MC and Logan should have been GOC honestly. I like to think the f!version would be called Lola. Or Lois. Or heck maybe even just Logan, a girl being named Logan sounds pretty cool. Granted I didn't care much for the story either way (Update 06/12/2024: I replayed it recently and I like it now), but if you know me well you know I'd have loved a genderswapped version of that loading screen.

WIP/Process Pieces below!

I drew this on paper with pencil first. Then I took a photo of it and colored it in, added some lighting and hue touch-ups, and added and edited the background of the original on Photoshop/Photopea. The blurry parts are me painting over the areas where the characters from the original cover were still showing.

Cropped drawing + Colored over and lighting fixed

POST/CONFESSIONS DO NOT REFLECT THE MOD’S PERSONAL OPINIONS!

[2008yottsumehalberdierevx]

Is anyone in this part of the Choices fandom still active? A lot of these posts seem a few years old but I decided to give this a shot anyway.

I just came back to the game recently after a few years (for RoD2 and Hero2) and found out Ride or Die 2 was cancelled ;-; It’s my favorite book on the app so I would love to interact with others in the fandom that want to talk about it (especially since Idk anyone irl that plays Choices), the characters, or what the plot could have been in book 2. Feel free to DM me!

I feel content deprived 😭🧎🏻‍♀️

Bring ride or die back, mona didn't deserve that

Captain Marvel doesn’t know what a normal death is

(TW: mentions of death, brief mentions of murder gang violence)

No but really if you ask a street rat, literal living lighting, a bunch of ancient immortal people and a really wise king from a bajillion years ago, why would a reasonable answer be an option?

Like Billy thinks that if you’re 60 one of your feet are in the grave. Why? Because that was the life expectancy in the 50s. He's also homeless so he’s already more exposed to crime anyway, I wouldn’t doubt he thinks death by “minding someone else’s business” is common enough to be recorded as such in its own category and not murder. Also, he literally fights supervillains who try to kill him everyday? His view is skewed so much, that the damage might be irreversible. 😭

Moving on, Marvel is literally sentient magic. They can’t die, and if they can it’s not a thing that’s very easy to come by. The amount of work it takes to even do the equivalent of a paper cut is excessive, the concept of them dying would take a lot to set in. And they are a lost cause when it comes to knowing what a normal death is. The only “normal” deaths they’ve really paid attention to are the deaths of the Champions…and none of them had anything close to a normal death. (One of them literally gets hacked in two 💀)

The acronym; do I even have to explain? All of them besides Solomon, Heracles and Achilles literally haven’t died. And literally no hero in Greek mythology dies normally. Solomon is the only one who’s died of natural and normal causes, but he was alive in the BCE. That is a long time ago.

Now, Combine all of them together and what do you get? Captain Marvel: someone who does not have a correct interpretation of typical death!

This would probably concern others around them. Especially the JL, because I feel like Captain would mention this randomly.

(Green Lantern [Hal] and Captain Marvel were sent to investigate a crime scene together and they stumble upon the body.)

Captain Marvel: Aw…seems like their time came. (Captain’s got a sympathetic but large smile.)

Green Lantern (looking down at the stabbed body): Um, Cap?

Captain: It’s a shame. But I guess nothing could be done…

Lantern: Captain, they were stabbed???

Captain: Oh, I know. Happens to the best of people, right?

Lantern: Uh —No? Captain this is…worrying??

Captain: They’re in a better place now. Maybe.. ☺️

—

(They’re now back at the watchtower for a debrief, but it somehow turned into Batman questioning Captain Marvel.)

Batman: Captain can you explain why the body was not concerning to you?

(Batman’s staring at Captain intensely.)

Captain (confused smiling): …because there was nothing to worry about?

Batman (raising an eyebrow): Why?

Captain (hesitant): Because there’s probably not a serial killer or whatever running around? They killed an insider, it was gang violence.

Batman: How were you sure?

(Captain looks up to the side like their remembering before shrugging)

Captain: …Oh, I’ve seen similar bodies like that before.

(This occurrence is reason #5738 on why Captain Marvel cannot interact with civilians. But in Captain’s defense, how was Billy supposed to know lifespans updated?)

Captain Marvel (pointing at an “old” lady): Oh, she’s 62?

Citizen: Yeah?

Captain (sympathetic): Oh. It’s good she’s still on her feet though.

Citizen: What?

Captain: She’s thriving for her age, right?

Citizen: C—Captain Marvel, she’s 60 not 99. She just retired.

Captain (confused): Really? Why would they have her working so long if she’s nearing the end? (The lady turns around with this expression on her face: 😟)

Citizen: Because she wanted to?? Captain are you ageist?

Captain (never heard that word a day in his life): Uh, I don’t think so? What does that even mean??

(The media later somehow gets ahold of the footage and it becomes such a scandal it reaches the JL; Captain Marvel is then forced to have a public statement. At the giant press conference, Mary and Freddy are there standing next to him and laughing.)

Captain Marvel (whispering): Shut up, it’s not like you thought any different.

Miss Marvel (also whispering): Yeah but we’re not stupid enough to say it to their face, Captain.

Captain Marvel (still whispering): It’s not like you guys would have any less scandals than I do if you were in the media as much as I am.

Reporter (impatiently): Ahem. Marvels?

(Both siblings look like deer in headlights while Freddy laughs at them. They both apologize in unison.)

(Captain then clears their throat, they look like they’re dreading this.)

Captain Marvel: I am terribly sorry for what I said about [62yo citizen]. I hadn’t intended to be rude, but I seemed as such because I had a gap in my…

Solomon (telling him what to say): …Knowledge. I was under the assumption that the average lifespan wasn’t much longer than a person’s 60s…

Captain (repeating what Solomon’s saying): I now know that, while once true, that information is outdated.

(Billy went on for three more minutes, only stopping because the DTC got too bored and people were starting to give him funny looks.)

In 1805, Napoleon was accidentally picked up by Time Travelers Bill and Ted and dropped off in 1988. While the time travelers were picking up other historical figures Billy the Kid, Socrates, Sigmund Freud, Beethoven, Joan of Arc, Genghis Kahn, and Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon spent his time bowling, eating ice cream and going to a water park in San Dimas, CA (Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Flm)

[niaerinisms]

Choice male character who ‘face systemic oppression due to their disadvantaged background’ and how this shapes them as a character on a scale of ‘wanting to create a better world for those like them and change the system’ to ‘leads them to becoming more self-serving and engaging in illegal activities either because they desire the power which was not granted to them or because their upbringing as shaped them to believe they can only look out for themselves’

It is a very confusing scale but you see the vision….

Struggled slightly between Jack and Jax but decided that Jax never actually goes too far, while Jack is a terrorist does

Mal is right in the middle as at the start he is a thief who only looks out for himself. But I’d still say he’s morally good and has never actually toed that line. He’s not a revolutionary per se, though as he doesn’t challenge or reshape the system as himself, though of course follows and works with those who do and does smaller but no less significant actions like running the orphanage to keep the children from being taken in by the Thieves’ Guild like he was (and of course he is critical of the system since the start having been a victim of it like the other characters)

Main struggle was between Logan and Colt. Desperately need to replay RoD too, but Logan is more self-serving, believing he can only look out for himself instead of putting trust in others (until MC although they both go off on their own ways anyway by the end).

Colt is…. Colt. He’s desperate to prove himself and we see his ruthlessness, drive and hunger for power more and more as the book progresses. And from what we know of the scrapped RoD sequel, he’s well on his way of achieving his goals if he hasn’t already

I decided Colt won though

[sharpstake]

rod makes me so so insane even all these years later. logan who believes the lie that he’s more cutthroat than he is, lying to himself that he’d cut and run when it was time, only to cling to scraps of affection. mona who doesnt carry the same defensiveness about trust that colt and logan do, who refused to let herself be tied down, taking the fall for a pretty girl once more, finally finding someone worth trusting. colt watching his father burn up and wish only that his son escapes a life he never knew any differently from, only for his death to solidify colt’s reclamation of it.

[marshallmallows]

my choices character playlists!

i make so many of these so i thought i’d compile them all in an easy master list if anybody would like to check them out :) some of them are pure vibes from what i think they’d listen to but most have lyrics that i feel are applicable to them/their relationship with mc/the story. i hope you enjoy!

genre: pop/indie

hayden young (perfect match)

damien nazario (perfect match)

noah marshall (it lives in the woods/it lives within)

abel flint (it lives within)

logan (ride or die)

colt kaneko (ride or die)

i make new playlists occasionally, and i’ll update this master list when i do!

[judeschoices]

I’ve come to realize I have probably 3 types when it comes to LIs from Choices who never fail to steal my heart every time:

Menaces to Society who are Shameless when with MC (but soft teddy bears in certain moments) i.e.:

-Cas Harlow (Immortal Desires)

-Blaine Hayes (Foreign Affairs)

-Logan (Ride or Die)

-Trystan Throne (Crimes of Passion)

Sweethearts that Dote on MC i.e.:

-Adrain Raines (BloodBound)

-Griffin Langley (The Elementalists)

-Grant Emerson (Veil of Secrets)

-Tyler Woods (Murder at Homecoming)

-Liam Rys (for me, Christian Rys; The Royal Romance/The Royal Heir)

-Luke Harper (Desires of Decorum)

-King Arthur (Guinevere)

Hardasses with a Soft Spot for MC/Trying to do Their Jobs but Fall for MC i.e.:

-Kayden Vescovi (The Royal Masquerade)

-Elijah Sipes (Wake the Dead)

-Everett Flynt (Slow Burn)

-Marco di Vincenzo (Hot Couture)

-Prince Kieran (The Cursed Heart)

-Bastien (Wolf Bride)

-Synphax (The Courtesan of Rome)

-Noah Harris (My Two First Loves)

-Manu Nakeli (Shipwrecked)

-Gabriel (Gabe) Ricci (Laws of Attraction)

-Tyril Starfury (Blades of Light and Shadow)

-Jun Seong (The Deadliest Game)

If I play any more books, this list will only get longer. Someone, please send help 😭😅

[harbingerofdespair]

I still hope ride or die comes back. Still waiting on them to say they were joking...🤡
