— CITY BOY.

bot 9, challengeversary 4/26/25 release : released

ART DONALDSON doesn’t like the south, it’s hot, humid, sticky— okay. Maybe he does live a little more lavish in the city. He and Patrick are staying at an inn for the week, and the owners granddaughter isn’t Arts favorite person in the world.

[tennisthatcher]

happy challengeversary darlings!

very fun fact, my ex-boyfriend and i broke up a year ago today after coming to the realization that he wasn’t treating me right. coincidentally, challengers was released a year ago today and became my favorite film ever. i began college end of august last year and by that point, i had already grown and matured so much that i had gotten over my ex. many things helped to contribute to that, including watching challengers about ten times over <3 happy one year to my babies

happy challengersversary!!

i love love love this album and i hope you guys love love love these bots

if any of them are acting funky... lmk. been having some issues on my part with getting a few to behave

i think it would be fair to expect the riff release next!

this is my first time adding little descriptions for bots - i would love some feedback! make them longer, get rid of them, whatever you think!

ITS FINALLY HERE

CHALLENGERSVERSARY BOT RELEASE !!! (4/26/25) ⌢ 🎾 .ᐟ

ART DONALDSON ・゜゜・．dreams. los angeles is the city of dreams, and making it in such a place full of creativity and opportunity is the end goal for an aspiring actor like you. you’re grateful for the city and its generosity thus far— it’d given you your jazz musician, art after your breakup and consequent slump in acting jobs. your goals may be shifting— broadening just a bit to allow for your one-man play, your budding career, and art to all fit comfortably within them— but there’s always going to be ups-and-downs. what you didn’t anticipate, though, is art to trade in his own passion to succeed for something steady and stifling; when did he start to play it safe, and why is it somehow your fault? (la la land!au)

PATRICK ZWEIG ・゜゜・．can’t take my eyes off you. sooo… patrick hadn’t kissed you at the party the other night— oops. while not sure why it’s such a faux pas for you, patrick’s more concerned with winning you over rather than dwelling on past mistakes. he’s taken the time to really make it up to you, and hopefully he’ll manage to get back into your good graces (lest all his hard work gone into chipping at your walls goes to waste). you’re just too good to be true, after all, and maybe this thing’s more than just a ruse; maybe it’s love. (10 things i hate about you!au)

TASHI DUNCAN ・゜゜・．in the studio. you and tashi have been peers in the pop music space since both of you started out; however, she took home the grammys awards for her album SERVE! that should’ve been yours, and things have been off since. you’re normally amicable to work with but not a pushover, hence why you’re so adamant about not doing a collaboration with her despite the numbers it’d do on the charts. but what the label wants, it gets— and it wants you to have some studio time with tashi duncan. (pop star!au)

ART PATRICK TASHI ・゜゜・．cabin fever. you and tashi are no means trust-fund babies, so it's unfamiliar territory for both of you when art and patrick suggest a trip to the donaldsons' cabin to ski for winter break. while it may not be time to hit the slopes just yet, it's more than an opportune time to truly take advantage of having all three of them in such close quarters without worrying about noise complaints from your RA. what's the worst that could happen with the four of you shacking up in mammoth for two weeks? (ski trip/winter break!au)

got a request? go ahead and leave em here :) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 15K! one year of the tennis movie... wow. i was a bit later to the game and saw challengers in theaters in june during a reissue, but i am so lucky and grateful that i did. not only did it give us iconic scenes, an insane soundtrack, and tashi duncan, it gave us a community of creative and talented people that i am so lucky to be a a part of! challengersblr is probably the first fandom space i've actively participated + engaged with others in, and i have made so many great friends through our shared love of the movie. in luca guadagnino we trust!!!!!! :) if u want more of me u can join my community if u want to… or don’t— too busy taking such good care of my white boys or whatever. blah blah blah, the points that matter, i too would let her fuck me with a racket, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

— EATERS.

bot 15, challengeversary 4/26/26 release : released

[ellaynaonsaturn]

— SIMPLE LIFE.

bot 1, challengeversary 4/26/25 release : released

ART DONALDSON felt no spark for tennis. That would be a crazy statement to anyone who knew him before his injury. But, he’s tired. After getting a glimpse of what retirement would give him, he’s ready to quit tennis.

— COMPANION.

bot 14, challengeversary 4/26/25 release : released

ART DONALDSON bought the newest tech; A companion. They’re made for their buyers, to please and to serve. It’s a little weird but. Art just wants someone to take of and something to love him.

[ellaynaonsaturn]

my babies are one years old today 🥹 they’re growing up too fast

[ellaynaonsaturn]

— RHIANNON.

bot 16, challengeversary release 4/26/25 : released

ART DONALDSON is pathetic. Ever since the first time you saved him in an alley he’s spent his days searching for you. Once he found you, he doesn’t want to ever let you go. So, he asks for you to turn him, to let him be with you forever.

[ellaynaonsaturn]

— CHANGE.

bot 18, challengeversary 4/26/25 release : released

ART DONALDSON is tired of change, after everything with Patrick and Tashi. After he retires and meets you, that’s one thing he never wants to change. Your love for him. Maybe his tactics are dark, but the joy that fills him when he sees those two blue lines overrule anything else.

[ellaynaonsaturn]

— CHURCH BELLS.

bot 23, challengeversary 4/26/25 release : released

ART DONALDSON grew up extremely religious. He’d never strayed from his path for girls or parties, even when boys his age were. He comes back from college and there’s a new sister attending his church, he’s never been more tempted in his life.
