⭐ Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up!

Claire at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, where she earned the Best Actress Award for her role as Laura Pilant in "Out of Time". After a few romcoms where she played somewhat stereotypical blonde roles, she was cast against type in this movie and it paid off. This marks a turn in her career and she starts seeking scripts that fit her better!

i think they appreciate the effort

[heavenstarship]

forgot how to make ocs panicked and just made self inserts

being serious though, high school story was one of those games i played where is was like "wow! bet i'll have friends and do stuff like this one day!" and then that didn't happen because i got bullied from elementary through middle school for reasons that still elude me and then covid hit and i evolved into a super loser. so of course my hss mc gets all of my old issues put on them. but to be nice i game them a (at least what i hope to be) accurate interpretation of my current self as their mentor. maybe that'll help them, maybe that'll hurt them, maybe robbs will hit laz over the head with a chair. anything could happen really

I've gone back into an huge high school story hyperfix for No apparent reason for this past month and half so i decide to make a new tumblr! it's been a while since i've been in an fandom space so i decide to stick to an more niche(? i guess) fandom with not so many people still here as it's not as overwhelming for me.

these girls have been with me since 2013 and 2014 respectively with many many different changes! however their core characteristics have stayed the same.

(more info under the cut!)

i was planning on drawing them about a week ago buuut my drawing tablet has decided to die on me and my only drawings of them are from <2022. which isn't ideal. then i remembered a few days ago i can just create them on sims, so for the time being i'll use ts4 as a way to visualize them until i get a new tablet!

a little brief introduction to them -

vivienne is my high school story prime mc and she transfers over to berry high in her sophomore year. bc of this the timeline is a bit different to the canon one (especially since the choices games are canon to the original timeline) as in my tl hss prime takes course from her sophomore to senior year (there's NO way all the stuff that happens in hssp happens in one year!!! pixelberry u can not convince me otherwises!!!). side confession but despite hss/hwu being an defining part of me i've never touched choices... which means i've just never considered were those games would fit into my timeline. so i guess i'd consider my tl an au.

agnieszka or angel is my hollywood u mc who i miss dearly and i'll forever be torn up by the fact that hwu is unplayable now. she's vivienne half sister (vivi is a product of affair. there's A LOT of lore that i'll hopefully go into in later posts) and the two aren't aware of eachothers existence until around 2010. despite this angel loves the fact she has an younger sister, even in unconventional circumstances, and wishes to grow closer to her. vivienne is hesitant at first but by 2018ish they have a very good relationship!! sure it takes a while but the two had to overcome a lot when it comes to their family.

for the years vivienne starts berry high in 2013 and agnieszka starts hwu in 2014 (basically when the games came out). they don't start having an consistent relationship until about mid-to-late 2015.

also this is my first time doing character sheets that aren't heavily drawn so hopefully they aren't too hard to read/understand. this is all i'll say for now as i don't want this post to get too long! i'll drop more info abt them as this month goes by.

I think that Bella dates Chris for a while when she first starts attending Hollywood U. They're together for a bit and it admittedly does get her on a few peoples radar. But her and Ethan are endgame to me. Hollywood Power Couple. Director + Agent.

Each forehead kiss is a whisper of 'forever' against the skin.

I can't thank the loveliest and amazing @cashweasel enough for this sketch of my Thomas and Alex! I absolutely love how soft and tender it came out. It truly captures the warmth of their love for one another. 💖💖💖

I always picked being an actor for my MC in HWU but with how the main story goes...I wonder if she should've just been a director?

[hsslilly-blog]

OMG…

these quests are bad and awful but also i find them extremely funny in a way. and i do agree with you; the mc is terrible here. i wouldn’t say this is completely ooc for the hwu mc, as they are more… immature… than hss mc, but pixelberry was very heavy handed with it. the mc is extremely unlikable and the plotline is very dependent of the main questline for you to root for these two characters together. and even then… questionable. i find some parts of these quests nonsensical too (sometimes it feels For The Plot, like in drive me crazy; and characters contradict themselves, like you pointed out with addi) and extremely rushed even though there are 10 of them. this all happens, apparently, in a span of 2 weeks btw.

i like hunt in these quests and he reacts like a normal person would tbh. and i like the “i don’t respect you” because he was obviously 100% pissed, but also. why would he respect a person who went undercover to trick him into liking them? pixelberry does something with this phrase later on too. they try to make it like the mc “knows something hunt doesn’t”/knows his true feeling and it’s just a bit pushy, but they’re so weird. leave this man Alone. by quest three you’re like, my god hasn’t he suffered enough already?

but you’ll notice this thing about them trying to make it not his fault later on. lol. they wanted to write a student/teacher relationship but didn’t want to commit to it because it’s, well, a student/teacher relationship. it has power imbalance and a lot of conflict of interest, of course. so they have to find it a way to make hunt blameless, which hurts the plotline a lot. you’ll see how this harms the writing starting on quest 6, i suppose.

not a Big fan of those but since i read them 10 years ago there’s a sentimental attachment to them. in a way. i also like reading them to torture hunt. every time i read them he’s suffering so that’s cool!

Reading Hunt Part 1

In (dis?)honor of huntclaire (@hsslilly-blog ) I’m reading the Thomas Hunt armour quests for the first time, and writing my thoughts as I go.

MC is Fortuna because luck, and cause O Fortuna is an epic song.

On the Hunt:

Not yet? Girl you’re literally lying to his face right now, creep. (He thinks you’re a stranger, but you saw him put on his mask)

Delicious dramatic irony here. Years spent analyzing nuances of physicality and behavior? I’m already starting to like this character.

Oh hi Claire! I guess you do get everything you want.

This should have been a timed choice so you could fail it. Just panic and he has to take the lead to avoid embarrassment.

I’m glad he tries to shut it down as soon as he knows it’s you. Though “I don’t respect you” is harsh. Much worse than calling you loathsome earlier that night imo.

The Reluctant Professor:

Wow Addison has totally flip flopped

Surprised by how much I’m on hunt’s side. A while ago I said i assumed the Hollywood U MC was a stalker, and I guess that’s not exactly what this is but like. He keeps saying no. Clearly, immediately, explicitly, no. Leave him alone!

What? No it’s not real. You don’t know anything about each other. He’s not choosing to spend time with you or enjoying your company.

Pixelberry has always been good at these little glimpses into characters.

I like how the question is slightly more personally asked each time. But also. What were you going to do if he said no? I highly doubt that would make Fortuna give up based on these past two quests alone.

I know this is a really long arc, and a lot of stuff gets headcannoned away (like knowing it was him at the mascarade). But the MC is such a massive creep! The writers are going to such lengths to make this not Hunt’s fault so being your teacher won’t be a power imbalance. But the MC is so consistantly stomping over boundaries, why should I root for them? Pixelberry, you’re trying so hard not to make him the bad guy! You didn’t have to write him as your teacher.

concepts for hwu mc

[rjschoicesstuff]

if you feel like doing this, i’d love to see my hwu mc, jackie, in your style with the same big brown eyes you gave alexandra hehehe

Put her on da red carpet cause I thought it'd be funni, I hope u like it!!

[cherealta]

rereading the main quests for hollywood u and i really like how many times the mc says they want to kill somebody. it's reminds me of that meme were it's like "we've gotta kill this guy steven" then steven is like... "damn :/"

Bella's backstory is still very fluid as I pick at it (currently debating if I want to give her the same mom as the twins instead of dad- having her raised by a single father instead. That would be funny because by the end of the story she'd have 2 dads to the twins' 2 moms) but a few things are set in stone. One being that Hunt, like in the game but with more social awareness, becomes a mentor to her. He sees the potential in her directing and sees the eyes on her...and just has to wonder how she's going to get into the industry without getting eaten alive.

She doesn't take his criticism or tough love well. She knows she's talented enough to be there, and yet he's always throwing specifically her under the bus.

Both of them get pettier. Comments about her directing and ideas are joined by comments about the age gap between her and Chris. They start to learn more about each other, Thomas because he does care about this (stupid fucking) kid and Isabella because she can't help but strive for perfection- and she knows his movies are pretty damn close.

What sucks about getting to know each other is finding out that they actually like the other person a lot. Bella is sweet and creative and so chaotic it's as endearing as it is terrifying. She's like a breath of fresh air and starts to give Thomas a bit more hope for the future. And he's wise and surprisingly gentle when he needs to be. It's kind of nice to be around someone who's purely interested in helping her instead of latching onto or fucking her.

When she comes into class crying one day, he asks to speak to her in private. She tells him about how she recently contacted her absent parent for a health thing and found out she has two little siblings...somewhere in the world. Seeing her so upset pains something deep in his chest, the reflection of something he had been trying to prevent for so long, and he offers to help.

Probably wasn't offering to fly across the state with her as she meets them for the first time, but what can you do? (Her dad was on a business trip and her friends were working on projects that could easily be postponed. There was plenty else to do, but she wanted his support.)

actually having such a blast coming up with a hwu character who doesn't end up with Hunt. Like everyone's mc has such a complex and interesting relationship with him, having to learn to deal with their conflicting feelings for him- while Bella is just over there hating the guy. He's a dick to her and by god she'll be just as much of a dick back.
