Just seen a reply on one of my posts about A Taste For Royalty and it turns out it has been cancelled. Wonder what it would have been about...

I had guessed that it was going to be a love story between a baker/chef and a prince/princess. The mc is probably the palace chef's or in a tv show like Dancing with the Stars but with baking and nobility. But I guess we'll never know 😭. Thanks for letting me know it was canceled though! 😁

A new record (at least since I've subbed) for how late the Choices Insiders has arrived. All of Europe is long asleep at this time already and even in California it's past normal working hours. I hope it's not a sign that PB is making its people to work overtime.

Since it was a simple free form answer box I doubt PB will do anything useful with the results, but for anyone curious I named my top 10: Aster, Sloane, Shannon, Nia, Quinn, Danni, Eris, Kamilah, Ava (ILITW) and Charlie (DS).

As weird and cheap as the LIs look and as much as they conform to male LI stereotypes, I wish PB gave us GOC MCs in supernatural/fantasy books rather than in simple chick flicks and soap operas. The premise of an evil ghost chasing you and causing havoc wherever you travel, is interesting enough in itself, but PB probably had to add another contrived connection between female family members. Despite giving us more GOC MCs than a year ago, I feel like PB cares about male players even less these days. Either PB has no idea what its male player base is interested in or just wants to get rid of us because the latter is honestly slowly working.

Be ready for a huge shock in chapter 1 and I'm not talking about the weird diamond hairstyles. I'm not interested in the wedding stuff because it's clearly WLM coded and lavish ceremonies are so not the MC's style. It looks though that the wedding will be set aside to focus on the mystery, so the story shouldn't be too bad.

"For y'all" my ass. Last time I checked Bitten and COP3 were early access books.

I've only managed to finish the first 3 chapters of Alpha so far, so I couldn't care less about the sequel for now.

lol, stop asking for 100 diamond ads to return, it's never gonna happen. By PB's own words 100 ads cost it 30% in revenue and the company is already poor af (EDIT: Series Entertainment just got $28M from investors so PB should be safe for a few years).

Too bad my questions weren't answered again. Are queries about GOC MCs and multiple LIs really that rare?

"In Inheritance, family secrets and cutthroat competition threaten to destroy everything as you fight for your rightful place at the top."

So, according to PB, Inheritance is some high-stakes drama, which sounds pretty interesting. Should it be GOC, it might actually be worth my time.

"In Years Apart, a steamy fling with a younger man takes an unexpected turn when your ex's protégé becomes impossible to resist.

Hah, "younger MAN"! Probably another slip-up from PB, showing how much it gives a sh't about those who prefer female LIs. But damn, now forbidden romances mean even our exes get to dictate who we can date. Why the hell should anyone care what their ex thinks about their new partner? With how close Choices is getting to Chapters with its themes, it won't be long until PB introduces step-family smut.

Although, I've been wondering for long when we'd get a younger LI than the MC. So far they've been either older or at most the same age, which seems to be the general taste of the main audience, so Years Apart is a fresh idea for Choices in that regard. However, I'm pretty sure MLW players weren't in PB's mind while writing this story.

Best Served Haute is a new title but it still doesn't sound like a dystopian story, which the ex-CEO promised us this year. It does sound like another culinary book, since 'haute cuisine' is a valid term. Maybe PB somehow repurposed that cancelled A Taste for Royalty book. There's also a chance it's a fashion book, though culinary theme is still my first guess.

This is nothing new and and since the exact release dates have already been published why not announce them in the Insiders as well? For those who don't know yet, Plus One wide release is in 2 weeks, October 18, and the first chapter of Blades 3 will be available for everyone from November 20.

I looked it up and as suspected, these two are also the chat stories some players got to play in the past. Not my thing though.

All in all, practically nothing interesting and important to me personally. I guess Lucky will have to keep me company while I wait for the wide release of Blades threequel.

What’s this? Another cooking book? I may not be wearing glasses, but that doesn’t seem to be a regular royalty book to me. Wonder how the “royalty” plays in 🤔

I don’t care that the Percy Jackson show is set in the modern day if Thalia isn’t a Green Day fan than wHAT IS THE POINT

#percy jackson #thalia grace #i already know people are going to be stupid about her actress #But I don’t care what she looks like #Or what she sounds like #Her being punk and having the same music taste is the IMPORTANT PART #THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT MATTER PEOPLE #I WANT BASKET CASE PLAYING DUEING HER INTRODUCTION #(they probably can’t get the royalties for it or whatever but cmon uncle Rick you’ve got Disney money)

people really do not know what they're talking about when it comes to Elizabeth Woodville's social status, huh?

#yes Elizabeth was without a doubt considered too low-born to be queen #no she was not a commoner and nobody actually called her that during her life (so I'm not sure why people are claiming that they did?)#Elizabeth's social status was not a problem in itself; it was a problem in the context of queenship and marrying into royalty #Context is important in this and for literally everything else when it comes to analyzing history. Any discussion is worthless without it.#obviously pop culture-esque articles claiming that she was 'a commoner who captured the king's heart' are wrong; she wasn't #But emphasizing that ACTUALLY she was part of the gentry with a well-born mother and just leaving it at that as some sort of “GOTCHA!”#is equally if not more irresponsible and entirely irrelevant to discussions of the actual time period we're studying.#Elizabeth *was* considered unworthy and unacceptable as queen precisely because of her lower social status #her father and brother had literally been derided as social-climbers by Salisbury Warwick and Edward himself just a few years earlier #the Woodvilles' marriage prospects clearly reflected their status (and 'place') in society: EW herself had first married a knight and all #siblings married within the gentry to people of a similar status. compare that to the prestigious marriages arranged after EW became queen #Elizabeth having a lower social status was not 'created' by propaganda against her; it fueled and shaped propaganda against her #that's a huge huge difference; it's irresponsible and silly to conflate the two as I've seen a recent tumblr post cavalierly do #like I said she was considered too low-born to be queen long before any of the propaganda Warwick Clarence or Richard put out against her #and the fact that Elizabeth was targeted on the basis of her social status was in itself novel and unprecedented #no queen before her was ever targeted in such a manner; Clearly Elizabeth was considered notably 'different' in that regard #(and was quite literally framed as the enemy and destroyer of 'the old royal blood of this realm' and all its actual 'inheritors' like..)#ngl this sort of discussion always leaves a bad taste in my mouth #because it's not like England and France (et all) are at war or consider each other mortal enemies in the 21st century #both are in fact western european imperialistic nations who've been nothing but a blight to the rest of the world including my own country #yet academic historians clearly have no problem contextualizing the xenophobia that medieval foreign queens faced as products of their time #and sympathizing with them accordingly (Eleanor of Provence; Joan of Navarre; Margaret of Anjou; etc)(at least by their own historians)#Nor were foreign queens the “worst” targets of xenophobia: that was their attendants or in times of war commoners or soldiers #who actually had to bear the brunt of English aggression #queens were ultimately protected and guaranteed at least a veneer of dignity and respect because of their royal status #yet once again historians and people have no problem contextualizing and understanding their difficulties regardless of all this #so what is the problem with contextualizing the classism *Elizabeth* faced and understanding *her* difficulties?#why is the prejudice against her constantly diminished & downplayed? (Ive never even seen any historian directly refer to it as 'classism')#after all it was *Elizabeth* who was more vulnerable than any queen before her due to her lack of powerful foreign or national support #and Elizabeth who faced a form of propaganda distinctly unprecedented for queens. it SHOULD be emphasized more.

Burning Barrel Taste of Royalty Antlered Annihilator Double Hazy IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. Lots of tropical and stone fruit in the nose, as well as some candy-like citrus. Decently thick body and well-balanced, with just a touch of bitterness in the finish alongside more juiciness.

Ink October day twenty-nine: Wilder

To bewilder; to perplex.

Comparative form of wild: more wild.

#tears of the kingdom #loz totk #totk #the legend of zelda #legend of zelda #legend of zelda tears of the kingdom #totk link #blue boi draws #ink october 2023 #ink October 2023 day 29 #I have extremely conflicted feelings about this game that I think boil down to: I don’t dislike it but it did disappoint me #like there are a lot of things about it but the things I dislike are loud in a way that makes them hard to ignore #there are also a lot of tiny nitpicking things I dislike about it that I feel bad about because they are probably insignificant or cases of #people having different taste in things. like the bombs I miss my remote destination bombs :( but also the mechanics that replace them are #really fun. I actually think most of the mechanics and puzzles are really good (I probably have more fun in Zonai shrines then sheikah #on average) I also think expanding to the sky and underground was really smart and good. I think most of my issues are with the story #they did Zelda so dirty. sooooooo dirty. the three good things they did with her are 1 gave her good parental figures 2 cut her hair #3 tURNED HER INTO A FUCKING DRAGON. A WYRM. A CREATURE.#that’s probably my favourite main story thing besides maybe the companions and also Tulin #I love Teba the fact that his son is featured heavily and is done so good in this game is amazing.#also revali being basically never mentioned was really good. fuck you revali #love the Zonai HATE them founding Hyrule (or well rauru)#love the designs dragon goat people love good dad to Zelda the king can go fuck himself #the thing about me is I hate colonial the divine right of kings and monarchies so much. the kingdom of Hyrule stinks of these things #botw to me was in part a story of a monarchy failing. the king and the system failed Zelda failed Link and failed their kingdom.#I knew that more then likely they would be rebuilding the kingdom in the sequel but oh my gods does the addition of the politics of Hyrules #founding make it worse. there are so many people who have explained in detail this but right now my brain is just… GAH #*banging my head against the wall* can we PLEASE acknowledge the flaws of the Hylian royalty I’m not even asking for them to be discrowned #at this point I just want anything that isn’t this glorifying shit. and it sucks because I like Sonia!!! I like Minaru!!!#ran out of tags but I need you to know I am fucking vibrating about this

Surprise Sept/Oct Choices Insiders Tidbits

Lol Alpha "Toe" House

The chains emoji makes me think this book might have some BDSM aspects...sigh. And is that a ninja emoji??

Oh nice! Very classy outfit! Looks like mc is going to be 1st class. Wanna bet the LI is 3rd class so there's a forbidden class hierarchy trope?

Lesbian firefighter story! I repeat: lesbian firefighter!!!

Oh and of course, they're reassuring all the smut lovers so they'll be comfortable writing teenagers having sex in ID 2

Except for confirming that ID 2 coming out in February and teasing A Taste for Royalty, there's literally no new news for general release audience

Though what would A Taste for Royalty (ATFR) even be about?? Being a chef for a royal LI? Or vice versa? Or starring on a baker show with a royal LI? Or vice versa and having the LI the baker/chef while mc is royalty?

Either way I got my eye out for the firefighter story!!

Here’s some AI-Generated Art of historical royals I created via an photo filter app. These were the ones I liked the best:

1. Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia.

2. Princess Helen of Greece and Denmark (née Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna of Russia) with her daughters Princesses Olga, Elisabeth and Marina of Greece and Denmark.

3. Crown Princess Cecilie of Prussia.

4. Queen Helen of Romania (née Princess Helen of Greece and Denmark) and

5. Queen Olga of Greece (née Grand Duchess Olga Konstantinovna of Russia).

#having fun #royalty #cecilie and helen could be actresses #I must say elena’s dress is too matronly for her taste #and i’m not a fan of olga’s hairstyle

hey how about that royalty au??

YES thank u for indulging me. <3 this is wordy bc i love talking about it. also it’s under the cut bc its technically spoilers for my fic

so the first chapter is actually already done i just haven’t posted it yet bc im waiting for some finally stuff to happen. just cooking but it’s coming soon 😌

now as for the the content, its a klaine story with a pezberry subplot (bc i’m me and these are all that i care about ig).

kurt is our young prince and his father, the king, is pretty insistent on him dubbing a knight. well kurt is young and stubborn and makes it SUPER clear that he has basically zero interest in all that. BUT his father is unfortunately dying and even tho hes married to carole and finn is also a prince, divine right says that kurt is next in line to be king. he knows that it is a matter of safety and he hates to disappoint/worry his father so he agrees and takes a knight.

a knight who is, of course, blaine anderson.

and right off the bat, he doesn’t give blaine a fair shake. he’s still disgruntled about the fact that he has a personal knight (which he feels like is more like a babysitter — which is even more frustrating bc blaine is YOUNGER than him??)

blaine, by all rights, should be petty and agitated by this. but he just…. isnt. he’s so obviously enamored with the prince and of course, kurt can’t really figure out why. blaine should truly be no less than indifferent towards kurt but he’s so noble and kind and it’s FRUSTRATING.

their dynamic sees a shift. with the decline of kurt’s father’s health, we see kurt’s stress manifest in different ways and he ends up, whether intentionally or not, taking solace in blaine’s companionship

AS FOR THE PEZBERRY, i mentioned that finn was also a prince (through marriage, not through upbringing like kurt). rachel is a princess from a neighboring kingdom that kurt’s kingdom, Merula (“blackbird” in latin), is trying to build connections with. she comes by with the intent of meeting and personally marrying finn.

there is a problem however. rachel obviously has other suitors, so to speak.

her OWN personal knight, in fact. neither santana or rachel say anything about it, and finn doesn’t really notice.

but blaine does.

he knows ALL about falling in love with the royal that you’re supposed to protect. he knows exactly what it looks like. he’s well practiced in the subtle looks and gestures come into play with it, as he’s basically mastered all of them.

there’s a ton of drama and worldbuilding too that ive only scratched the surface of here. please, if you want me to say more, feel free to ask me bc i LOVE talking about it 😊

tysm for listening to me yap ❤️

#asks #angelhummel #royalty au #there’s so much more to this story that i can’t reveal yet for plot reasons but here’s a taste of it
