Chapter 1 part 1: Worlds Collide

It was a gorgeous day in the kingdom of Monterre, and Jeremy Rin, new exchange student of Julivert University and member of the Delta Theta Delta sorority was in his room, putting final touches to his presentation.

'That's done! Now time for a break.' he said, stretching himself out, and hopping off the bed. Just then, the bedroom door opens, and Jeremy's best friend, and the first person he met in this country, Faye, enters.

'You done?' she asks, taking his laptop. 'Yep.' said Jeremy, 'Think that's good for a perfect grade?' Faye frowns as she skims through the presentation. 'Not bad, but you are certainly not going to get a perfect grade for this.' she said. 'That's okay.' said Jeremy, 'A decent grade is enough for me.'

'Come on, Jer. Don't you want to put a little more effort into this?' asked Faye. 'Nah, I'm good. Besides, I was hoping we hit the pub tonight. Come on Faye, live a little.' said Jeremy, grinning and giving a light punch on her shoulder. 'Besides, I think I would want to find more adventure than homework, now that I'm in another country.' Despite herself, Faye smiles a little. 'Okay Jer, you win. You always manage to smooth talk your way out of things. Wish I knew how you do that.' Jeremy grins. 'It's my secret talent. I can't share all my secrets, not even to my best friend.' as Faye gave him a look.

Meanwhile, at the Monterre Palace…

Prince Alan of Monterre stood in front of his mirror, while his closest friend and lady-in-waiting, Aveline fits him into his new pink and floral dress. 'Don't you think it's a little too loose, Ave?' said Alan, adjusting himself to the new dress.

'Not if you want to enjoy your afternoon tea, your highness.' said Aveline, rushing around and taking final adjustments. 'Relax Ave, its not the end of the world - oof', he stopped as Aveline made an adjustment tighter. 'But its my job to make things perfect for you, your highness.' she said, taking short breaths.

'Ave, look at me.' said Alan, grabbing her arms. 'You are doing just fine. Besides, I would hate to see that beautiful face of yours get wrinkled because of the constant frowning.' he said, giving a small wink. Aveline laughed. 'You flatter me, your highness. Oh, I almost forgot, your father sent this.' She pulled out a letter with the royal seal. Alan frowns.

'Why does he always have to be this formal? He is my dad for god's sake.' He said, as he broke the seal and read the letter out loud. 'My dearest son, I have cancelled your afternoon schedule, to make time for a more relaxing itinerary (attached below). You also need not worry about the royal council meeting either. I will see you for dinner tonight. Love, Father.'

Alan skims through the itinerary, his frown deepening 'Lunch, socialization, walk through the garden…What does he think I am? A kid? He can't control my life!' Aveline rubs his shoulder, comfortingly 'He has certainly got a lot more protective since your mother passed.'

'You know what, I can't deal with this right now. I am heading to the conservatory to clear my head.' He leaves his room, followed by Aveline.

At the Delta Theta Delta Sorority…

'It's a beautiful day.' says Jeremy, looking out of the building. 'If only there was a place that I can go that can help me relax for a while..'. 'I would say try the conservatory.' said Faye, looking up from her work. They say it has very unique varieties of plants and its a really cool place..'

'Yeah, I know all about it.' said Jeremy, pulling a picture out of his wallet, showing a beautiful young woman sitting at the fountain. She had Jeremy's eyes and the same smile. 'That's where my mom and dad met, and mom might have told me the story a million times.'

'Your mom was a Monterrian? You never told me Jer.' said Faye, looking at the photo. 'Nah, she is American, she was just visiting here when she met my dad.'

'Wow, that's cute.' said Faye. 'So that's where you disappear off to for hours'. she said looking up at him. Jeremy shrugged. 'Guilty as charged. Sort of feels like home that place, you know.' he said, looking pensive. Faye touched his shoulder, 'Jeremy…' she said, which made Jeremy snap out of his daze. 'Hey, don't go all sentimental on me, I'm fine!' he said, putting back his usual grin.

'I'm heading over there and will be right back before we hit the pub.' he said. Before Faye could say anything, he rushed out of the sorority building, taking a walk to the city's royal conservatory. He passed by the rows of familiar flowers and plants, musing in his thoughts. He turns to the corner, and bumps into a stranger. 'Woah watch it…' starts Jeremy, but stops mid-speech when he sees the stranger.

'Who are you?' says Jeremy. 'And why do we look alike?' say the two of them at the same time.

Just then, a young woman rushes to the corner, and stops to look at the two of them.

'Um…Prince Alan, why are there two of you?'

OG HSS m!MC Alan Parke in his full prom outfit, drawing by me

My second ever drawing on this site. Still not sure if my art will become a regular thing on my blog, but we'll see.

Anyways, I usually hate drawing feet, but I desperately needed to see my diva boy Alan in this outfit with spindly little heels. Pose references are a godsend.

WIP Wednesday

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the late submission. I was caught up in a shit ton of work and didn't find time to type this out yesterday, but I know I have given The Prince Swap a temporary pause, but I plan to continue it, and this is a small peek of the future chapters yet to come. Stay tuned!

The barkeep approaches Alan. 'Yes?' he asked. 'Give me your finest beer, two wine coolers and a small Virgin Mai - ', but before he could finish the order, a girl pushes past him. 'Barkeep, one whole round of rainbow shots.' said the girl. 'Hey, I was here first.' said Alan, stepping up and scowling at her 'Who cares?' said the girl, rounding on Alan and giving him a dirty look. 'I am a Theta, and I get first priority at service here.' 'Wow, I have seen a lot of entitlement, but you are a next level.' said Alan, his eyes unwavering. 'What's that supposed to mean?' said the girl. She strode up to him and pointed a finger at his chest. 'I don't know who you are, but its best if you stay out of my way, unless you want to be dealing with my sorority - '. 'That's enough, Megan!' said a serious-looking girl, walking up to them, and Alan turned around, and whom he saw stopped his words in his throat for a moment. He had seen many princes and princesses, but they seemed insignificant than the person who was coming over to him. She had shoulder-length brown, wavy hair and sharp brown eyes. Even her stern expression could not cloud her perfect features. 'Maria!' said the girl, which seemed to snap Alan out of his trance. 'This b-'. 'I have seen enough to know what's happening.' said the girl who was Maria. 'So unless your sorority wants trouble with me, you will leave him alone.' The girl looked between the two of them, weighing her options, then she huffed and left. Maria then turned to Alan. 'Are you alright?' she asked. 'Better now that you are here.' said Alan, not hiding his smile. He truly found her boldness attractive. 'I'm sorry what?' said Maria. 'I mean I am okay.' said Alan, 'You shouldn't have taken the trouble.' 'Well, you can't blame me for doing my job.' said Maria. 'And does your job involve saving a guy from being threatened?' said Alan, giving her a small wink. Maria gave a short laugh, her serious facade fading a bit. 'You're funny, you know?' 'I get that a lot.' said Alan, his eyes twinkling. Maria distracted the topic. 'How about I get you your drinks as…compensation?' she asked. 'I would never say no, especially when a beautiful girl is getting them for me.' said Alan. 'Riight…' said Maria, clearly ignoring the flirty compliment, but she couldn't help blushing.

[cadybear420]

I don't have the full stories and build-ups for these figured out yet but here's the futures for my Choices OG HSS MCs and HSS:CA MC:

Evie Ayana (main Choices OG HSS MC): I definitely know that she'd go to a local college and pursue a communications studies major (though possibly starting out undeclared). Sports will probably become more of a hobby for her. Her main interest is becoming an author/writer, particularly for fiction.

BandAU!Evie Ayana (AKA in which she does band instead of sports): Maybe the same as proper universe Evie, but it's also highly likely that she'd end up pursuing a career in music. Proper universe Evie does get into duets and couples singing-dancing performances/competitions with Aiden, but it's mainly as a hobby. BandAU Evie might pursue that more seriously.

Alan Parke (second Choices OG HSS MC): He's big into dance and cheerleading and gymnastics, so he might pursue that. Most likely career future are those activities and maybe modelling, because he's a diva. But he's also been praised for his strong sense of self and how he never backs down to advocate for justice, so he might also be good in a law profession.

Samara Al Hakim (third Choices OG HSS MC): I haven't figured out her future yet, beyond her and Caleb starting their own bakery after they get married.

Cher Lee (HSS:CA MC): She's definitely sticking with theatre and acting in college and as a career.

I'm curious, what does your MC do after graduating high school?

For me, I can see Rosalyn going to college to major in psychology with a minor in education then going off to get certification to become a teacher, where she'll work her way to becoming the principal of Lakeside Prep (her school)

Summary: a rewrite of The Princess Swap, but featuring our OG: HSS MC's, Jeremy Rin (my MC) and Alan Parke (Cady's MC).

Before they knew it, Jeremy and Emma were being rushed through the palace halls. 'This way your highness.' said the nobleman. 'Best not to keep the king waiting.' Jeremy looked at Emma as they walked, but the princess was trying not to make eye contact with him. Feeling awkward he started 'Princess-'

'I am sorry.' blurted out Emma. 'Huh?' said Jeremy, looking confused 'The way I spoke of you was completely out of line, your highness. Had I known you were the prince-'

'No it's okay really - ' said Jeremy. But before he could finish, they were escorted into a room, where a tall, imposing man stands before a throne. He had sharp, dark eyes, and hair that would have been as dark as Alan's, except it seemed to have reeded with age. Beside him, stood a frowning nobleman, certainly shorter in height than the man in front of the throne, and looked like he had gotten off the wrong side of the bed.

'Alan, my boy.' said the tall man, breaking into a smile that made his eyes twinkle. 'I trust you have kept our guest entertained?' By now, Jeremy could guess that this man was King Edmond, and immediately remembered that he was supposed to be his son.

'Yes, your majesty - I mean, father.' said Jeremy, giving a nervous smile, that he hoped that the king would not notice. 'I only hope that the princess found my company…delightful.' The King turns to Emma.

'Princess Emma. How wonderful to finally meet you.'

'Wonderful indeed.' said the surly nobleman. 'How kind of you to drop in on us without a warning, then disappear for an hour.'

'Your Majesty, Lord Cecil, Please accept my apologies for the unexpected arrival.' said Emma, curtseying before the king. Jeremy eyed the nobleman with distaste. 'So this was the Lord Cecil I was told to give a wide berth to. No wonder' he thought.

'I am really grateful for your invitation to host me for this social season.' said Emma to the king. 'But I had arrived earlier at the bequest of my father, to propose his additional way of improving relations between our feuding kingdoms.' She gives a nervous smile to Jeremy for a moment and says 'It would be an honor if I were to court prince Alan, with the possibility of a proposal by the end of the season.'

Jeremy was taken aback for a moment, before turning to the king. 'Your Maj- I mean father, did you know about this?'

'No but I think its a marvelous idea!' said the king, positively beaming. 'Monterre had always been at odds with Ismar for centuries, but I always hoped our kingdoms could resolve our…feuds.' he said. 'It would be entirely up to the Princess if she wishes to propose or not, and you, my son, whether to accept.' 'More like the real Alan to accept' thought Jeremy to himself.

'But this season could be a great opportunity to show that our heirs can get along, and so can our kingdoms.' said the king. He turns to Jeremy and continues 'I would like you and Princess Emma to arrange her welcome ball, to be held in two days time.'

'Oh, but…Of course father.' said Jeremy, losing what he had to say after seeing the hopeful look in the kings eyes.

'If I may object, Your Majesty.' said Lord Cecil. 'It would take more than a political courtship and a ball to undo centuries of rivalry! Ismar has always been too proud to cooperate with its betters.' He gives Emma a hateful look, and she looked like she was going to sink to the ground. Jeremy noticed the look in her eyes, and clenches his fists. He may not be the real Alan, but he wouldn't let Lord Cecil treat a guest like that, nor let him write off a chance at peace.

'Lord Cecil, maybe some of us are mature to overcome our differences. And this ball can symbolize choosing generosity over old wounds. Something that I think his lordship can understand the value of.' he says, putting on his most diplomatic expression.

Cecil opens his mouth, and scoffs 'So the rebellious prince finally formed a valid opinion. What a momentous day.' 'That's quite enough, Lord Cecil.' said the king. 'I am proud that my son has decided to take this chance on diplomacy.' he said, giving Jeremy a proud look. Jeremy smiles back, feeling relived inside.

Just then the nobleman who escorted them to the courtroom, enters and bows to the king. 'Forgive the intrusion, Your Majesty. But, I have been informed that our chambers are ready, and me and the princess would like to take a look.'

'Of course Lord Eren. We are glad to have you and Princess Emma for this season.' They both give a bow to the king, before leaving the courtroom.

Back at the Delta Theta Delta Sorority…

Alan was pacing around in Jeremy's room, when suddenly Jeremy's phone rings in his hand. 'Hello?' said Alan, picking it up.

'Alan.' whispered Jeremy urgently. 'Things just got a little complicated here…'

After a hasty explanation, Alan lets out a low whistle 'Wow, I can't believe little Emma is here with a proposal. I knew she was coming for the season but the reason…' he trails off

'Your dad thinks that its a great idea. He says it might help the relation between the two kingdoms. What do we do now?'

Alan thinks for a moment before saying, 'We stick to the plan. Emma's arrival might be unexpected, but I am sure you can handle it for two days.'

'You know what, you're right. Besides, I wouldn't miss an opportunity to spend time with a cute princess.' said Jeremy, slightly laughing.

'Oh she is cute now?' said Alan cheekily. 'Then I would definitely know what you mean by spending time…'

'You're not offended, are you?' asked Jeremy. 'Nope.' said Alan. 'Emma's a sweet girl, and I like her. I would definitely be offended if you didn't take an interest in her…'

'Let's cross the bridge when we get to it.' said Jeremy, giving a small laugh. 'Well, have fun being me.' and hung up the phone.

If you are okay with answering this

For Alan and Emma

Pre-relationship - 7

General - 6

Love - 12

Domestic life - 7

Ask game here!

Pre-Relationship 7: How do their friends and family feel about them as a couple?

Scott and Julia are both very happy and supportive of the two of them.

General 6: How do their personalities complement each other? How do they clash?

The two of them are a VERY opposites-attract fem4fem couple.

Alan is incredibly extroverted, popular, and expressive. He's a total diva. He has zero sense of humbleness or modesty and he revels in it. He's incredibly flirtactious, and has dated/fucked a few other people before and quite enjoys stuff like that. He's the embodiment of the "popular diva cheerleader girl" stereotype, but as a guy lol.

Emma on the other hand is... almost entirely the opposite. She's very shy, socially awkward, wallflower. She sees herself as a "loser" sometimes. She does get into cheer with Alan, but also has a lot more of a nerdy side. She has zero dating/sex experience, and actually gets incredibly overwhelmed during her and Alan's first time.

Love 12: Who remembers the little things?

Alan is also the type who would be cautious about not wanting to screw up with Emma and would go out of his way to remember those little things. Vice versa for Emma, who also is a rather perceptive type.

Domestic Life 7: Who worries the most?

Both of them

[cadybear420]

@lover-also-fighter-also Yknow the more I think about it, the more I feel like Alan x Payon would actually be a really good hypothetical couple

Additional Notes: DM me if you want to be tagged for regular updates

Jeremy stares at the huge palace in front of him, awestruck by its beauty. Magnificent gardens surrounded the palace, adding to its grandeur. Gardeners rushed about, tending to the flowers and the plants, and bowed to Jeremy as he passed them.

'Wow, it loos even bigger than it does from the campus.' said Jeremy, as he and Aveline walked towards the grand staircase, leading towards the huge ornate doors of the palace. 'Just wait till you see the interior.' said Aveline, as they reach the doors. A pair of guards bow to Jeremy as they open the doors for him.

'This weekend is going to be a breeze, I could get used to this treatment.' thought Jeremy, smiling to himself. But as they enter the palace, the whole place was bustling with activity, with servants rushing from place to place, adjusting the decorations and nobles squabbling with each other. Jeremy caught a few snippets of conversations as he and Aveline passed by.

'What was Ismar thinking?'

'Has anyone seen my dusting feather?'

'Put six, no eight mince pies in the oven!'

'Uhh…Aveline, you have any idea what's going on here?' asked Jeremy, turning to her.

'I have no idea. Everything was fine just this morning…', said Aveline, looking equally confused. She flags down a maid holding two different flower bouquets. 'You! What's everyone in a tizzy about?'

'The Ismari princess has just arrived!' said the maid.

'Today?' said Aveline, shocked.

Noticing Jeremy beside Aveline, the maid sweeps into a curtesy, scattering flower petals on the ground. 'Your highness, should we set out Monterrian roses, or the Ismari wildflowers for our guest?'

Jeremy was taken aback for a moment, but quickly got his confident face up. 'Set the Ismari wildflowers, it will make our guests feel at home.' said Jeremy, in a perfect imitation of Alan. The maid nodded, and scurried away.

'You handled it very well.' whispered Aveline, looking impressed. 'How did you do that?'

'Just one of my many talents.' said Jeremy, running his hand through his hair. 'But this is crazy, we should get out the way.'

'Let's get back to Alan's…sorry your chambers before anyone else comes.' whispered Aveline, and grabs his hand to take him upstairs, but their path was blocked by a noble.

'Your highness!' she said, before curtseying. 'We need your help. There's no way the palace can be ready in time for our guests. How can we avoid a diplomatic incident?' she looked really panicked. Jeremy gives a firm grip on her shoulder and speaks. 'Hey, calm down. We can't be blamed for their early arrival, so they have to deal with the best we can do.'

The Lady slightly relaxed before smiling. 'Thank you, your highness. We will just have to show them how accommodating Monterre can be.'

'Wow, at this rate, you can take over for Alan.' whispered Aveline, 'but don't tell him I said that.' she added quickly. Jeremy imitated zipping his lips. They start towards the foyer but were soon overwhelmed with a tow of servants and nobles.

'Prince Alan, what color scheme do you suggest for the third-floor room?'

'Do you suggest a dinner of shellfish or roast beef for our Ismari guests?'

'Ladies and Gentlemen, please!' shouted Aveline, trying to control the crowd. 'Let the prince review the itinerary before making a decision.'

'But-'

'Everyone, calm down!' shouted Jeremy, before catching himself, as everyone stared at him. 'Look, I know this is an unpredicted incident. But panicking is not going to make things easy. Give me some air and I will get back to all of you.' Before anyone could say anything, Jeremy runs off to the nearest opening in the hallway, and without thinking twice, rushes into it, and saw that it led to a balcony.

He took deep breaths, trying to control his heartrate, when a voice calls out to him. 'Excuse me sir, are you feeling okay?'

Jeremy looked across the balcony to find that the place was occupied by someone else, and he was spellbound by whom he saw.

She was a beautiful woman, with long blonde hair that reached her waist, and deep brown eyes, that Jeremy felt he could get lost in them. It was her voice broke him out of his trance.

'Pardon me, but it looked like you needed some help.' she said.

'Oh no! Don't mind me. I am perfectly fine.' said Jeremy, straightening himself. 'I was just passing by, and was wondering what a woman, as beautiful as you is doing all by herself here.' he said cheekily, giving her a small wink. She blushed faintly, her milky white cheeks growing a faint pink.

'Oh nothing! I was just going to head back! You see, I'm…scared of new places.' she said, embarrassed. 'But I had to come, you see. I was sent here by my father, to see the prince.'

'So, this is the princess from Ismar.' Jeremy thought privately. 'She still doesn't know I am the "prince", so let me play along for a while.'

'Oh? And what do you make of the prince?' he asked innocently, trying to make her feel at ease. 'I don't know…' she said, frowning. 'But I have heard some things about him. Not that I trust royal gossip or anything…'.

'Hey, it's okay. I am not going to judge you, Ms.-' he said, raising his hands.

'Emma.' she said, curtseying to him. Jeremy curtseyed back, before looking at her sincerely, and said 'You can tell me anything.' she looks at him, pondering whether to trust him or not.

'Well…' her voice drops in a whisper, but they were interrupted by voices coming from the other side. Jeremy noticed a tight grip on his arm, and saw that Emma was holding onto him nervously. Jeremy looked down and saw that the balcony was not too high off the ground.

'Hey.' he whispered. 'What do you say we take this conversation elsewhere. Away from the crowds?' she doesn't say anything, but slowly nods. 'Excellent.' he says and swings his legs across the balcony railing and slipped down, holding onto the vines. Emma looked at him from above. 'It's okay. Just hang on to the vines. I will catch you.' he called from below. She hesitatingly leans across the railing but does not climb down.

'Do you trust me, princess?' said Jeremy, giving her his most honest look.

Emma nodded, and swung her legs across the railing, her dress restricting free movement. She awkwardly slipped down, hanging onto the vines for dear life, and nearly lost her footing, but Jeremy caught her in his arms.

'Hi there.' he said, smiling at her.

They were not aware of how close they were, till she stepped back politely. 'Thank you for catching me.' she said.

'Right.' said Jeremy, pulling himself together. 'I think we should get going before anyone catches us here.' he said quickly, avoiding the awkward silence between them.

They quietly sneak through a set of doors into the lower floor of the palace. 'So, where are we going?' asked Emma.

'Somewhere where they cannot find us.' said Jeremy in an air of bravado, but honestly, he did not know where they were going. He was in the middle of somewhere in a place he didn't know, and on top of that he dragged a princess into an impromptu adventure with him.

They turned into a corner and thankfully, Jeremy caught the smell of freshly baked bread coming from the doors near them and Emma looked like she recognizes the place as well.

'The kitchens?' she asked confused. 'Are you sure -' she suddenly went quiet, and grabbed Jeremy's arm

'What -' said Jeremy as she pulled him into a closet. 'Shh' she whispered. Jeremy heard the voices of a couple of servants outside the closet and nodded.

They held their breaths for a few moments, until they were sure that nobody was outside. Jeremy slowly opened the closet door and stepped out; Emma followed him closely.

'That was quick.' he said. 'How did you know that they were coming?'

'Umm…' said Emma, blushing 'I don't know…it's just that I am used to avoiding people. Not that it's a useful skill…'

'Well, it certainly helped us today.' said Jeremy, giving her a sincere smile.

They continue running, till they were in a place which almost looked like a Zen Garden, right outside the doors. A small stream flowed peacefully below a bridge, which lead to a gazebo. 'Wow.' he thought but didn't let his surprise be noticed.

'It's a really beautiful place.' said Emma, taking in her surroundings. 'You really seem to know your way through the palace. Have you been here long?'

'You can say that.' said Jeremy, 'highly relieved that the wandering led to somewhere beautiful, otherwise he would have lost face in front of a princess.

'It must be nice, staying in a palace with such beautiful sceneries. My home is more like a castle.'

'Yeah, now I really appreciate the finery of the place, the company also helps.' he said pointedly looking at Emma. she gives an amused laugh. 'I'm glad I'm able to help.' she said, smiling widely.

They walk a few feet, towards a gazebo and Jeremy leaned on the railing.

'Soo. How do you feel now? A new place must be highly exhausting.' he said, trying to add his own experience with moving to Monterre and now the palace.

'A bit better actually. I'm really dreading meeting the prince.' she trails off, looking nervous.

'Oh why? Is the prince very horrible on Royal Gossip?' he asked, now curious. 'Well…' said Emma. 'I have met him only once as a kid and he was…a complete diva.'

'What?' said Jeremy, trying not to laugh.

'The prince. He has a bit of a dramatic streak.' she said, looking serious. 'Oh, what makes you say that?' he asked, making a mental note to tell Alan about this later.

'I heard he refused to wear the royal robes to a ball and threw a huge tantrum over it.' said Emma

'And that's a bad thing?' asked Jeremy. 'Maybe he wasn't comfortable with them. You know, gossips tend to exaggerate even the simplest things.'

'That's also true…' said Emma, looking thoughtful. 'Maybe I'm overthinking but he might be a little too intense, and…I don't have good experience with such people.' Jeremy looked at her sympathetically.

'Maybe he might have changed, who knows?' said Jeremy 'literally.' he thought at the back of his mind. 'I am sure if you asked him to tone it down, he would.' he continued. 'Besides, he would be a criminal if he said no to a princess the likes of you.' she laughed. It was a pleasant laugh, almost like a melody. Like an idiot, Jeremy found himself smiling at her. 'Don't worry about the prince.' he said 'I'm sure it's just gossip. You can't know a person without spending time with them.' she smiled easier.

'You know what, you're right. I won't know anything until I meet him myself.' she looked slightly more confident. 'Thank you for hearing me out. It's nice to talk to someone like this.'

'Anytime.' said Jeremy.

'Oh! Forgive my terrible manners, I haven't got your name, sir.' she said. Before Jeremy could reply, the bushes rustled, and a nobleman stepped out.

'Princess Emma, there you are!' he said. 'King Edmond is waiting for your audience.' he looks at Jeremy standing beside her and said 'Oh! I see you have already had the chance to meet Prince Alan over here.'

'What?' said Emma, shocked, looking at Jeremy. 'You're the prince?!'

What kinda music are your mc's into?

Honestly I haven't fully thought about this much for most of my MCs lol. But here's what I got so far

Evie: Kinda likes a broad range of music, from pop songs to movie + video game soundtracks to electronic/techno music. She's especially a fan of anything that sounds really majestic, like James Bond songs, Super Mario Galaxy soundtracks, The Matrix soundtrack, etc. Also, an incomplete list of songs I associate with Aidevie.

Alan: Mostly pop, and anything that can be branded as "cunty" music or "diva music"

Cher: Has an affinity for upbeat regency music and "catwalk" music

Jo: Likes stuff like heavy metal, rock, punk, techno/EDM, etc. But is really into anything that isn't trying to be overly sappy or some deep emotional piece

Harper Addison: She likes to play light, soft, gentle tunes on her guitar and that also tends to be their favorite kind of music to listen to

Bonus: headcanons for some of my newest OG HSS MCs that I haven't done playthroughs for yet or fleshed out very much but I think are relevant to this queston

Katie: Rock music, especially 80s rock. She has great experience with playing the guitar. I also headcanon a scene for homecoming where, because she chose the "Under the Sea" theme and the live band as the music, she arranges to join the band for a moment in order to sing+play "Johnny B. Goode". If you know what I'm getting at hehe

Giovanna: Okay so I haven't completely figured out her exact music tastes, but I do know that at the start of her story, she isn't fond of the saxophone. But in choosing marching band as her activity, she decides to give it a try and soon develops a taste for it.

Cadybear's MC Wardrobes: Alan Parke, OG HSS Book 3. Featuring some edits by me!

How this series goes: With each book, for a MC I'm invested in, I'll assess each of their in-game outfits. How much do I like or dislike the outfit? Is this something that suits my MC's style, or does it make me go "My MC would NOT wear/own this"? And for the outfits that my MC would not wear or own, how would I alter or replace them? I'm not going to use screenshots from the actual game because I can't be arsed. Also I want to use the different sprite expressions to express how my MC would feel about each outfit.

I like to think this is a good opportunity to elaborate on my MCs' dress styles, and show off some edits :D

Now let's finish off the trilogy for Alan Parke!

Directory for the other parts will be included in the reblogs after I've completed the posts for all books!

Ch 1: "All-American Boy" and "Spring Fever" Premium Starter Outfits

They're alright, but they both look so plain in comparison to the f!MC options. Especially the first one. The second one I think Alan would kind of like, but mainly if the shorts were shorter.

Verdict: Only the second outfit is in Alan's wardrobe, and only partly. Alter by making the shorts shorter. But also replace entirely, and use a different outfit as his official spring casual outfit.

Here's the outfit more in his style, plus him in the f!MC options "Not-So-Cold Shoulder" and "Spring Fling" respectively. I feel like he'd prefer the "Not-So-Cold Shoulder" one as his casual outfit.

Though I do also think he'd like the pink "Party On" outfit from Payton's party as a spring casual outfit. So that will probably be his official one. IDK for sure, honestly.

Ch 1/2: "Tour Guide Extraordinaire" Premium Outfit

Bruhhhhhh this does not look like a tour guide outfit!!! The "Spring Fever" outfit looks more like a tour guide outfit tbh, it even has a similar color scheme to the f!MC's outfit!

And even that aside, the outfit itself is just... not visually appealing. It looks too busy. Though I do like that the blazer and pants match Emma's spring outfit color scheme... but that's about it, and even then I don't think it's really worth it.

Verdict: Alan would NOT own this. Replace entirely. Maybe keep the blazer and pants for a different outfit.

Alan would much prefer the altered version of the "Spring Fever" outfit for being a tour guide.

BONUS ROUND: Ch 3: Baseball Uniform

Not his favorite style, but he'd work the look.

Verdict: Technically not in Alan's wardrobe because you have to return uniforms, but he'd enjoy wearing it. Keep it as is.

Ch 4: "Beach Bro" Premium Outfit for the Mitchell's Beach Party

Not bad, I think he’d really like the colors and pattern of the shirt. I also kind of prefer this as the casual outfit for him to wear during the playthrough, than the Spring Fever outfit (but not as his official spring casual outfit, of course).

But obviously, he'd far prefer the f!MC's outfit. This outfit isn’t near the levels of bland as a lot of these other m!MC special outfits, but I still don’t think it’s really something that would grab people’s attention at a party. At the very most, it just fits the beach vibe and has a nice pattern, and that's it.

Verdict: Alan would only partly own this. Keep the shirt for future potential outfits, but ditch the shorts, and replace entirely for the beach party.

Here's what he'd prefer to wear.

Ch 7: "Tight Knit" Premium Outfit for Open Mic Night at the restaurant

It's not bad... the cardigan is actually kind of cute, and the overall color scheme does look nice on him. But it doesn't really stand out that much otherwise, and it's definitely not Alan's taste.

Verdict: Alan would only partially own this. Keep the cardigan, possibly for future outfits, but ditch the rest, and replace entirely for the event.

I feel like he might wear the "Spring Fling" outfit for this event. It's a neat-looking outfit. I'm not fully sure though... might have to return to this later.

BONUS ROUND: Ch 11: Band Concert Outfit

Looks pretty good, but I think he'd far prefer the shorter sleeve one that the ladies wear.

Verdict: Only partly in Alan's wardrobe. Alter by shortening the sleeves.

Here's what he'd prefer to wear.

I should also mention that while I do have a band!Evie AU, I don't think I'll have a band!Alan or jock!Alan AU. Or I might have a band!Alan AU, but it probably would only take place over Book 1 because he’d only really do colorguard, unless they have room for some singing roles in concert band but IDK. I don't think Alan would have a lot of skill in playing any musical instruments. I'll put him in the colorguard in the bonus rounds.

Ch 12: "Blackout", "Flower Power", and "True Blue" Prom Outfits

Clearly the flower-pattern suit is meant to be the more "fem" option for male MC, as the tux was the more masc option for f!MC. I like it, but I don't see why they couldn't have had a dress option. Or better yet, why PB doesn't have dress options for m!characters more often. HWU had a dress option for male characters. Y'all could have expanded from that.

That being said, Alan would still adore that flower suit, especially if he wore it with some glittery spindly red high heels because that would be such a cunty power look.

Verdict: Only the second one would be in Alan’s wardrobe. Keep that one as it is.

Of course, Alan would still love a dress. And he’d definitely love the premium dress from the f!MC’s options, especially with the single shoulder strap and ESPECIALLY with the leg slit. So here’s him in the dress, plus a red one to more closely follow the suits colors.

And now I can't decide which one I like best as his prom outfit. Yaaayyyy

Ch 16: "Always a Tiger" Premium Finale Outfit (and carries over to HSS:CA as MC's default outfit for that trilogy if purchased)

Not bad, he’d definitely love that jacket. But preferably over his cheer uniform, rather than cargo pants.

Verdict: Only partly in Alan's wardrobe. Ditch the cargo pants, and replace with cheer uniform underneath.

Here's how it would actually look. I think Alan would likely wear this as a casual outfit for HSS:CA. But honestly I'm still figuring out what his storyline in the CA timeline would be like. I haven't even fully figured out Evie's HSS:CA rewrite/storyline. But as I do, I will be coming up with a new set of outfits for Alan in that timeline. We'll see.

Cadybear's MC Wardrobes: Alan Parke, OG HSS Book 1. Featuring some edits by me!

How this series goes: With each book, for a MC I'm invested in, I'll assess each of their in-game outfits. How much do I like or dislike the outfit? Is this something that suits my MC's style, or does it make me go "My MC would NOT wear/own this"? And for the outfits that my MC would not wear or own, how would I alter or replace them? I'm not going to use screenshots from the actual game because I can't be arsed. Also I want to use the different sprite expressions to express how my MC would feel about each outfit.

I like to think this is a good opportunity to elaborate on my MCs' dress styles, and show off some edits :D

Now we'll be doing my second OG HSS MC, Alan Parke! Let's see how well the Book 1 outfits suit him!

Directory for the other parts will be included in the reblogs after I've completed the posts for all books!

(Disclaimer: The hairstyle I use for Alan is not actually available until book 2. I'm using it in the book 1 screenshot replications and edits because I don't give a fuck, it should be available.)

Ch 1: "Sleep Tight" Pajamas

They're alright, but I don't think they're quite Alan's style.

Verdict: Alan would not own this. Replace/alter.

Here's what his pajamas would look more like.

Ch 1: "I Work Out", "Classroom Chill", "Just My Stripe", "Mr. Cool", and "Funny Man" Starter Outfits

Of the five starter outfit options, the "I Work Out" one is the only one I think Alan would like. It's light, comfy, and suits his athletic side. Hence I'm using it as his in-game fall casual outfit.

He wouldn't like the cargo pants though. And even then, he'd far prefer a particular outfit from the f!MC wardrobe.

The other outfits are just okay. He might like the jacket and shirt from "Classroom Chill" but probably wouldn't wear them together.

Verdict: Alan would only own the blue sweatshirt, the blazer jacket, and the shirt with the default names of previous customizable MCs. Alter the blue sweatshirt by replacing the cargo pants, and ditch the rest of the outfits/pieces. Use said outfit as default fall casual outfit, but one of the f!MC outfits (with some addition of this outfit) will be his official fall casual outfit.

Here's what he'd prefer as a fall casual outfit, this premium outfit from the f!MC's wardrobe. Plus a variant with the blue sweatshirt over top. Plus a variant of the blue sweatshirt outfit but with leggings, for a more fully athletic look. Plus a variant of the flower top with leggings.

Ch 2: "Party On" Premium Outfit for Brian's Pool Party

This outfit isn't bad but like... OMG, it's way too plain to be a "win points with friends and LIs" premium outfit, let alone part of Alan's wardrobe.

Seriously, I bought this one to see what would happen, and I for the life of me can not suspend my disbelief for how so many of the characters absolutely fawn over this. IT IS A PLAIN BEACH SHIRT WITH PLAIN BOARD SHORTS.

I mean sure, I headcanon Evie might wear this to look good at the party, but even then I don't think so many people would be absolutely fawning over it as if it's a frilly white short top with short shorts. Y'know, the f!MC's version of this! Yeah, the bonus dialogue for this premium outfit is so blatantly coded for f!MC's outfit, and unfortunately this is gonna be a very common theme with a lot of m!MC outfits. Do people actually act like that over a guy wearing a plain beach shirt with plain board shorts?

Verdict: Alan would not own this. Replace entirely.

Here's what he'd actually prefer to wear. Evie would prefer to wear the m!MC's version and Alan would prefer to wear the f!MC's version.

Ch 2: Swimsuit

The pattern is okay, but Alan deserves better than swim trunks.

Verdict: Alan would NOT own this. Replace entirely.

Here's what his swimsuit would actually look like, plus an alternate one for later on in the timeline.

Ch 6: Cheerleader Uniform

It looks fine, but he'd prefer the female outfit with the tiny skirt.

Verdict: Technically not in Alan's wardrobe because you have to return uniforms, but either way, Alan would not quite wear this. Alter by replacing the pants with skirt and shortening the top.

Here's the uniform he'd prefer to wear. Plus a bow, because he deserves it <3

BONUS ROUND: Ch 6: Football Unform

Alan isn't into football and the uniform isn't his favorite, but he'd find a way to rock it.

Verdict: Technically not in Alan's wardrobe because you have to return uniforms, but he might enjoy wearing it. Keep it as is.

BONUS ROUND: Ch 6: Marching Band Uniform

Not sure he'd be into band, and it's not quite his style, but he might enjoy strutting around in it.

Verdict: Technically not in Alan's wardrobe because you have to return uniforms, but he might enjoy wearing it. Keep it as is.

Ch 9: "Eye of the Tiger" and "Hear My Roar" Premium Tiger Mascot Suits for the pep rally

While he'd probably prefer to do the pep rally in his cheer uniform, he'd also have quite a bit of fun wearing a tiger costume. He'd probably go with the white one.

Verdict: Keep both outfits as they are, but Alan would pick the white one.

Ch 11: "Varsity Greens" Premium Disguise for sneaking into Hearst

He'd definitely be more willing than Evie is to disguise himself (even if he's the only one doing it)... but he'd far prefer to disguise himself as a cheerleader. Though I will say, Max swooning over m!MC's muscles thinking he's a Hearst jock is absolutely iconic.

Verdict: Alan would disguise himself, but he would not wear this as the disguise. Replace entirely.

Here's what he'd far prefer to wear as a disguise.

Ch 12: "Team Berry" Premium Outfit for the Homecoming Parade

Love the top, but Alan would not want the cargo pants. Let him wear short shorts like the f!MC got.

Once again of course, buying this outfit is the only way to get that yearbook photo with MC and LI waving from Ms. Maddox's car, and the photo itself is still enjoyable. But still.

Verdict: Only partly in Alan's wardrobe. Alter by replacing the pants.

Here's what the outfit would look like with Alan's actual preferred style of shorts/pants.

Ch 14: "The Classic", "All That Glitters", and "Semiformal-ish" Homecoming Outfits

Of these three, the only one he'd really like is the gold waistcoat outfit. Even then, he'd far prefer a dress.

Verdict: The only one of these that Alan might own is the waistcoat outfit. Even then, replace it entirely.

Here's a dress that's more in Alan's style. While I'd normally have used the boutonniere from the outfit I liked the most, the one from the tux outfit is a literal match with the corsage that Emma wears, so I used that.

[cadybear420]

Normally I would object to them not letting Emma lift my MC, but when I really think about it I can kinda see Alan carrying her. Especially as I think he would be much taller than her, even without heels. He might like lifting her up to get all seductive with her... but I don't think he'd spin her around while carrying her though.

I can maybe see Emma trying to lift Alan, or at least dipping him. I do still think that would suit them.

Alan lifting Emma would be more like this:
