HSS Christmas HCs

10PM on Christmas day itself. Cutting it a bit close lol.

Hey. Had some cute ideas so jotted them down. Not proofread, random dribbling, but I hope it brings a little festive joy 😊

The order, because I know y'all have your favorites:

Emma (Luis mention)

Caleb (Ezra mention)

Maria

Aiden (and Myra)

Michael

My MC Finley

Emma has a quiet Christmas with her mom, sharing homemade mulled wine while catching up on the trashy TV her mom never has time for, between working.

They watch Love Island, a tacky British reality show, and they mock the British accent back and forth. “I GOT A TEEEEXT!” Emma would yell every time her phone pinged, and she was startled by her mom screaming it at the top of her lungs a few hours later.

She and Luis text throughout the day, Luis sharing silly snapshots of the chaos that ensues when the whole family is crammed into his small house. Her heart flutters when he shares goofy selfies with his kiddy cousins.

Once a little tipsy, Emma and Julia switch the TV off and switch to their radio, dancing together around the coffee table of snacks. Julia teaches her some ballet moves she'd picked up from classes when she was very young. Emma felt like a princess, just as she deserves, spinning elegantly with her silver dress swirling around her.

She shares a classy selfie on the group chat of her and her mom tipping their wine glasses towards the camera, smiles broad and genuine, matching sparkly tiaras and true happiness.

Caleb’s parents have a huge party at theirs: friends, family, family friends - they're popular, too, so there's probably about 100 of them sprawled across the mansion. They have a giant spread of party food. Down with the traditional, boring roast!

The day is lovely but exhausting. Caleb’s mom followed his grandma's stuffing recipe to a T, and the result had them all smiling and mentioning memories of her. Just a few tears, and then it was on to games. In front of the fireplace for charades, a corner for snap with the kids, two tables of boardgames. Caleb drifts between them, making sure to spend time with every single person.

He drifts to the kitchen to pour himself another glass of pop when Ezra comes around the corner, a small, coy smile as he holds up two switch controllers. “Too tired for Mario Kart with your bro?”

Caleb grins broadly and follows his brother upstairs, hiding away in Ezra's bedroom as the battle valiantly. It's a tight match, and by the 12 and final race of the tournament, they're 6-5 to Ezra. Caleb pulls it back, ending them on a draw, which he'll take any day against such a worthy opponent.

Caleb takes a photo of Ezra's game face for the group chat, Rainbow Road on show in the corner, captioned “now THIS is what Christmas is all about”

Maria and her dads celebrate a traditional Christmas, just them in a private corner of a VERY high-class restaurant. Fancy suits for the men and a gorgeous flowing gown of pale blue and white for Maria. Quiet conversation and laughter passes between them.

When the conversation dies down - not that it's awkward, not at all - Maria pops up with a completely random question. A trick she learned from you. She learns so much about her fathers through this - like the heist they pulled in high school to steal a teacher’s laser pointer they used to shine in sleepy faces.

As the evening winds down, and after they've taken enough pictures together, they head home and curl up on the couch in matching festive pajamas to watch festive specials of game shows and shout answers at the screen.

After that, it's movie time, and Maria's eyes start drooping as her dads recite the words to Elf perfectly. To stop herself from falling asleep, she responds to each and every message in their group chat meticulously, commenting on how cute and festive everyone looks.

Her photo to the group chat is her and her fathers’s feet, propped up in a footstool, in matching Christmas slipper-socks, the fireplace and twinkling fairy lights and Elf blurry in the background.

Aiden's family also have a traditional Christmas, a home cooked roast for lunch where they all dress properly and dine with quiet classical music in the background. It's something Aiden used to enjoy as a kid, feeling so respected by his parents, but the older he gets the more he sees what he's missing out on. He's a little quieter this year.

That changes once Myra and her family turn up, alongside a couple other Asian-American families they've gotten close with other the years. They have a giant potluck of dishes spanning the continent their family came from in a colourful array that brings Aiden a lot more joy than the bland beiges of America.

He and Myra sneak off to his room with a bottle of gin to chat shit about the friend group - but, rather than chatting shit, Myra squeaks and shows Aiden every message that comes in, and he just chuckles and says he can see the messages on his phone as well. After an interaction between Finley and Michael that leaves Myra squealing, she asks if he will ever get flirting with someone. He shrugs and says he's waiting for the right person, which makes Myra roll her eyes, but she doesn't push him.

After a few drinks, they head downstairs to mingle again, avoiding uncomfortably heteronormative and invasive questions about when they'll finally settle down, as if they aren't 16 year olds. It's a little awkward, but they're used to it by now, gliding through practised sets of phrases and dodging questions about their friend choices.

Aiden and Myra head to the garden for a breath of fresh air, and it starts snowing. Myra, obviously, is ecstatic, and she runs up to Aiden with her camera open on her phone to send a photo to the group chat of them smiling, snow in their hair, captioned “hope your Christmases are gayer than ours!”

Michael is the only one who leaves the state for Christmas. His family are from New York, with him, his parents, and older sister being the only ones to have moved away. It's a gruelling 5 hour flight, but his two closest cousins scream into his shoulders as they both squeeze him in a hug.

Christmas is always a tough time for Michael. Closeted queerness, anorexia, high high high expectations that he repeatedly fails to meet. He's repeatedly asked if he's staying out of crime, out of violence, out of trouble, and it feels like they don't actually care and just want to remind him of his past.

His cousins, however, Emily and TJ, make sure he's comfortable. So much so, in fact, that after dinner, when they're hanging out in his room and getting ready to go to the skatepark (tradition, of course), he comes out. It kind of happens accidentally; TJ notices a bunch of sappy messages sent by ‘Fin’, so he asks. Michael gets a little flustered, but settles when he looks at his cousins. These kids had to raise themselves, together. “My boyfriend,” he says, plain and simple, smirking a little. Then he panics. “Don't tell anyone!”

Emily laughs and claps his back. “No worries, Mikey. Fellow queer.” “Really?” TJ rolls his eyes like it's old news. Maybe it is. He hasn't been there for a year. “Yes, really. Now hurry up. I wanna smoke.” TJ responds.

Michael sends a short video to the group chat of him skating around a heavily graffitied collection of concrete ramps with a spliff hanging out of his grinning lips.

Finley and Scott have a quiet Christmas, and even that has to wait until Scott gets home from work. He feels a little lonely, especially with his boyfriend on the other side of the country, but he wakes up, shrugs it off and gets to baking.

He is an avid baker, usually a stress baker, but this time it soothes his anxiety and gives him something to think about other than his mom. Their lavish parties, the presents, the meal. The hugs. The love. Nope, not thinking about it, he reminds himself as he stirs a brownie batter furiously.

The texts from Michael throughout the day fill him with warmth, despite his unheated home. He finds himself smiling at the screen at everything he says. Even the sadder parts, like how hard the big meal was, because even then it meant Michael was opening up to him. Then, Michael tells him he came out to his cousins. Then, he sends a selfie from the skatepark. “God, you're gorgeous”, Fin replies, met by eye rolling emojis.

He also checks in with the others, of course, rejects a couple of invitations for lunch and instead starts boiling the kettle for some instant ramen in the kitchen while the brownies bake. Emma drops him a call, reminding him of a group gift left for him in the fridge. He opens it to find a full Christmas dinner that each of them had helped to prepare. There's a card signed by all of them as well, with Michael's passage being the longest. He tears up a little and microwaves the meal, then dishes it up nicely for himself.

He takes a selfie, leaning back in the kitchen seat with the camera upside down and the meal and freshly baked brownies in frame on the table. He sticks his tongue out with a grin and says “hap hols hoes”.

Happy Christmas y'all, hope you had a good one ❤️

OG HSS gang in pajamas I headcanon for them, edits by me

Might do a sleepover story for them one day like how the HSS:CA gang got a sleepover

[somerandomjewelleryonthefloor]

Random headcanons I made for HSS characters because they seem like they fit + I feel silly (these are very long and might go into essay length territory)(also ongoing as HSS is my obsession):

✧˚ Michael Harrison is a passenger princess. At least with my MC Solrin. I mean c'mon, he may have a car- but he's born to be on a motorcycle, he doesn't know how to drive a car for shit, he's the biggest passenger princess ever and my MC has a cute little pink tiara taped to the top of 'his' headrest, as a tease since he barely drives and always calls shotgun.

✧˚ Caleb likes to match clothes with his SO. Even if his SO is wearing the prettiest princess like dress or are wearing plaid with stripes with loafers on- he's matching them. Always. Even accessories, he just likes matching.

✧˚ Scott, the man, the legend, the dad himself- he is fucking loaded with cash. He is RICH. His train models are so good they bring in FARRR too much money to deal with. Hence why his daughter Solrin casually has a vintage 1963 dodge dart with customisation in 2018. HOWEVER, he likes to keep his daughter humble so they own a basic suburban house and he made his daughter get a job for her own money.

✧˚ Maria wakes up to cats on her every morning. Since she owns 2 cats now after adoption, they're heavily attached to her and sleep on her when it's bed time. Sometimes they do biscuits on her stomach and lay all their weight on her chest in the middle of the night which wakes her up because she can't breathe and also it's a weird sensation. She also definitely has cat hair on her socks sometimes.

✧˚ Aiden definitely sorts his clothing in his closet or clothes drawer via random things such as colour, texture, if it has print, and also what type of clothing it is. I just feel like he does, however he'll just throw his shoes in the fucking abyss when he gets home and will just know where it is. Which is why he hates it when his room gets cleaned because his shoes, despite being wherever, are usually always put in the same messy spot so he knows where it is- so when his room is cleaned he doesn't know where his bunny slippers are. #me

✧˚ Emma has a large pain tolerance but her tolerance with foods of weird textures and strong flavours are very low. She could break her leg and be fine, but if she has spicy octopus on her plate she's going to either cry or refuse to eat that shit at all. Which is a pain for Julia, but I mean Emma can't help it- some food is weird and she doesn't vibe with it. #me

✧˚ Michael is fucking terrified of thunder and lightning, to the point he quivers at seeing dark grey clouds. The loud sounds get to him, and he hates it. He has to cuddle his doggie Rollie in his bed and blast music through his headphones to get through them.

✧˚ Caleb takes it personally when he doesn't get to hug anybody. He's a cuddle bug, he loves his friends and his LI, so being denied a hug from anyone when they do something good like ace a test makes him sad.

✧˚ Sydney once stared at a kaleidoscope for an hour straight when she was in the nurses office because she hurt herself during cheer practice, and the school nurse didn't even need to do anything like talk to her or anything, other than patching her up, Sydney remained silent and staring at the glorious colourful light.

✧˚ Morgan was 'obsessed' with Joan Of Arc, Gretchen from Mean Girls, and most of the main girls in most kids shows in middle school, and this was before she knew what the term "Lesbian" meant.

✧˚ during freshmen year, Maria was obsessed with the business casual aesthetic so much, she wore full on blazers and button ups and looked super duper professional. Until everyone in her year had to remind her that this was freshmen year and she could dress up like a cat girl and no one would care.

MEET MY HSS MC's FUTURE KIDS

So I have a couple of HC's for the future kids of my HSS MC's, Ria and Jeremy, and I've got a lot of brain worms on them recently, so here I am! Posting about them.

Tags: @cadybear420 @somerandomjewelleryonthefloor @choicesmc

Andrea Monero-Flores (Andie)

Adopted daughter to Ria and Maria. She was adopted at 3 months old.

She is totally a clingy baby and a child that craves perfection, whether its what she eats or the toys she owns.

Close to both her mothers but she likes to imitate Maria's style of doing things, like the way she talks or the way she sits,

First word was definitely 'shit', which she heard a lot from Maria. Ria had to pull Maria aside and give her a long telling off about saying swear words in front of the baby.

Most closest she is to in the HSS gang is Michael, her godfather. Sometimes, they work together to piss Maria off.

She definitely gets all of Maria's hard-working nature and Ria's resilience. She doesn't go down without a fight, like her mama's.

Olivia Rin

Jeremy and Emma's first child. They name her after Jeremy's late mother.

A very feisty and a talkative baby. She literally is a ball of energy.

Is a papa's girl through and through. She just loves being around Jeremy.

Loves flowery dresses ever since she was a baby. Emma just loves to dress her up.

She definitely started to dance just after she started walking.

Is a total social diva kid who especially loves being around the OG cheer squad. Especially Payton.

She gets her first ear piercings with Payton. Jeremy couldn't even look during the process and she goes 'Don't be a baby daddy. I'm fine.'

Is also pretty close to Maria and looks up to her because she doesn't take shit from people

Has a charming face and a flirty mouth. She definitely started her game in pre-school itself.

Jason Rin

Jeremy and Emma's second kid. He is three years younger to Olivia.

A shy baby and more quieter and less fussier than his sister.

Is Emma's son through and through.

Loves to listen to Emma tell him stories and starts reading more earlier than his peers

He is the wallflower and the nerdy boy, but definitely a girl magnet.

Pretty awkward around strangers and takes time to get close to them.

More closer to Aiden in the OG gang, and learns music from him.

Ami, making MORE High School Story fanart in 2024? More likely thank you think!

Anyone that knows me knows my comfort choices story was the og HSS trilogy and I've been inspired to get back into fanart and these turned out WAY better than I expected.

Bloom Into Color

Days 4 & 6-Friendship, Family, and Berry High Unity & Pride Welcoming, Acceptance @hss-appreciation-events

Hey everyone, for these days I decided that I would be writing a fanfic instead of a drawing. Its been years since I typed one out and I wanted to freshen up my skills. The story below follows my HSS MC Erica as she finally comes out of the closet and the unity between her friends and cheer mates. The story takes place between books 2 and 3. I hope you like it!

(TRIGGER WARNING FOR MENTIONS OF CHRISTINANITY AND COMPULSORY HETEROSEXUALITY!!!!!!)

The party was in full swing and almost everyone from Berry High was there. The music was loud, the snacks were delicious and the games were hyped up! The middle of the living room Erica and her friends were playing an old time classic: Truth or Dare.

The game was easy for her because all she had to do was pick truth and not tell a lie. Lying was a sin after all. Thankfully, all the truth questions were simple as well as the dares. It was Erica's turn to ask and the bottle landed on Emma.

"Ok Emma, Erica slyly said, Truth or Dare?'

"Uh...Truth." Emma answered

"Ok, have you ever stole candy from the store?"

"No, never!"

"Yeah, I believe ya, Michael sighed, You don't have the nature to steal, no offence Emma."

"None taken." Emma responded

After Erica was Myra.

Myra took the bottle and gave it a good spin. Round and round it went, fast to slow, finally landing on...

Erica

"Ok Erica, Myra gleefully asked, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth!" Erica exclaimed.

Another win secured. Nothing was going to ruin this party for her. Erica was ready for Myra's question.

"We all know that Caleb is your boyfriend now, Myra started, but when you first arrived at Berry... Who was your crush?!"

Erica's heart SANKED. The angelic grin soon became a terrified frown. Her heart began to pulse harder. Now a normal teenager in this situation would just lie and say there current partner...but that wasn't Erica. She made a commitment to her Lord to never sin and lying was a sin. Erica look down, blush started to form in her cheeks and her eyes started to water. Finally, she looked up with a deep breath.

"Morgan..." She wispered

"I'm sorry what?!" Michael snorted

"Morgan! Morgan! MORGAN JENNINGS!!!" Erica shouted.

Luckily it wasn't loud enough to disrupt the party.

Everyone but Michael was shocked. In fact, he was snort laughing because he thought it was a joke at first. However, it took one look at Erica to realize it was true. Then he matched everyone's expressions.

Erica started to whimper.

"Oh...Well...That's..."Maria started to say but the faces were enough.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Erica apologized

"No Erica, it's really..."Emma tried to acknowledge

"I'm terrible, I'm filthy, it wasn't supposed to happen but it did, and now you all think I'm disgusting!!" Erica cried.

"No Erica, we just didn't think.." Caleb tried to explain

"Don't worry, I'll try to fix on it some more. Then I wont go to Hell. Everything with be normal!" Erica exclaimed with tears in her eyes.

Her friends just stood there with worried emotions on their faces. Witnessing this brought Erica to more tears. Were her friends really going to leave because of her feelings towards the blue-haired rebel? Was Berry going to be another Westchester? Maybe it was better for her just to leave. Leave and never come back. Leave and repent for even surfacing that part of herself again.

Before any of them could get a word out. Erica bolted out the door, running to her car. Caleb got back up and tried to chase her. He wanted to let her know that he still loved her and accepted her for who she was. He wanted to hug her and tell her that it was going to be alright, but Erica was already out the driveway by the time he came outside.

"ERICA!!!!"Caleb yelled. He yelled and yelled again, but it was no use. She went back home.

Caleb was soon gathered by their friends and a sobbing Myra.

"I'm so sorry, Myra sobbed, I didn't mean to.."

"Its ok Myra, it wasn't your fault, you didn't know." Caleb reassured.

"Poor Erica, sighed Sydney, she must feel really awful right now."

"See its stuff like religion that makes someone like Erica feel bad for what she cant control!" Michael angrily spouted shaking his head.

"Now Michael you can't fully say that, Maria stated, My father's and I all go to church and we are told that we are loved and accepted by God."

Michael rolled his eyes, he was still agnostic.

"Right now, is not the time for Erica to mope!" Maria stood "We need to let her know that we as a school accept her, and maybe if she sees how we can accept her sexuality, she'll realize God loves her the way she is!"

Nods and shouts came around the lawn. Even Michael was on board. The only problem was...how.

The idea soon popped into Caleb's head. He soon gathered everyone around for his plan.

That Monday...

...was finally here and Erica was still depressed. During the weekend she prayed and prayed and asked to be forgiven for her sin. She prayed right, so why does she still feel so guilty? Maybe if she does it again after cheer practice.

Erica expected to find the same old red locker she used but when she got there she found a beautiful surprise! Her locker was adorned with bisexual stickers, pink, blue and purple streamers, and finally fake flowers of the same colors!

Erica was confused at first but a cough got her to turn around and her face was even more shocked.

All of her friends were dressed in the bisexual colors and giving her loud encouraging cheers. Emma threw confetti and Mia and Sydney came from behind with a cute little cheer!

1-2-3-4

You don't have to hide anymore!

5-6-7-8

Being bisexual is really great!

The cheers from the friend group got louder, with even a little toot from principal Hughs.

"I...I don't understand, Erica said, What is all this?"

"We at Berry High just wanted to let you know that we love and accept all of our LGBT students!" Principal Hughs noted. "Your friends told me about the little incident that happened at the party and they wanted to throw this for you to show their support!"

Erica looked at her friends. Instead of confused or off-putting faces, their faces were full of cheerful and accepting smiles. Erica started to cry again. She began to realize that she was blessed to have a friend group to go out their way to show her love. Two hands touched her shoulders, they were Caleb and Maria's.

"Erica...Maria stated, I understand what you are going through, but I was told that God loves all his people, so I know that he loves you too."

"And you shouldn't have to hide who you are and be miserable." Caleb said. "I love my bi girlfriend."

"And Erica, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable at the party on Friday, I just thought you were going to say Caleb. Myra apologized.

"T...Th...Thank you all!" Erica exclaimed. A sigh of relief left her body. She was able to let go. Able to smile once again. Able to see the love God has given her through her friends.

The group including Principal Hughs hugged Erica.

"But for the record Erica, you can do so much better than Morgan!" Michael snorted followed by a light punch by Caleb.

Laugher went around but was interrupted by the first bell. It was time to get to class.

Later it was time for lunch. Everything felt normal. Erica was just about to take a bite out of her salad when Emma asked.

"Hey Erica, how did you figure out you were bi anyway?"

Erica took a breath in and answered. "I've always had crushes on guys but back in my old school, there was this goth girl with beautiful red and gold locs in her hair. I was so armored on how she expressed herself without a care in the world. At first I thought I wanted to be her but soon I realized I wanted to be with her, but then..."

No...NO! She was NOT going to let it happen again! Erica Vine was bisexual and she was proud of it, and God loves her the way she is !

"...anyways, looking back on it, I don't think she would of liked me back anyway. She comes around my mom's wiccan shop sometimes. I wondered what she's doing now?" Erica finished.

"So Erica...Myra smirked...You sure got a thing for bad girls huh?"

Erica blushed and everyone laughed. Caleb gave Erica a kiss on the fore head to calm her down.

"Oh Myra!" Erica sighed.

Author's Note: This is my first time writing fanfic in a while so I might be rusty. I based this on my own experiences with my sexuality. While I don't really know yet, it was nice to share some of my struggle through Erica. Also, when I was creating Erica, I remember low key shipping her with Morgan and Ava Cunningham and thinking it was cute. I called this blooming with color because its a transition from the straight flag(Black and White) to the Bisexual flag(Pink, Blue, and Purple) and Ericas are a type of flower. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I had making it!

[wolfdude-8]

This obsession snuck up on me lol. And yes, I've been meaning to get a haircut, dunno when I'll actually get it but soon. Also yes, it was a bit difficult to adapt the characters to be in my style, but an attempt was made.

Oh hi there 😊

Happy Christmas bitches!

I've had a Choices relapse 😔😔😔 and I've been bored so I thought I'd pop back with a couple lil bits because good god michael x mc is running a little dry huh?!?!

I'm here to fix that with a couple of bits!!! Mostly HCs because my narrative writing has taken a dip - burnout, amirite?

I know I haven't popped by since like 2019 or something but hi guys, miss you, hope you're well ❤️

Doubt this will be a thing again (I'm very busy working on my own original novel (which humiliatingly is VERY LOOSELY inspired by HSS) - more in a later post mayhaps?) but it's good to be back 🥰

Also apologies I've been off Tumblr for so long I've forgotten how to use this damn app hahaha

‘Michael from HSS is probably the only time I've ever liked a Choices LI that was the "Bad Boy" stereotype and that's because A) he's got more depth as a character that makes him more than just that stereotype, as he shows that he has a genuine heart of gold behind his facade, and B) the MC is a more versatile and flexible character who isn't forced to be an "innocent goody-two-shoes Good Girl" stereotype, thus making the romance route between them and Michael a lot more interesting and much less generic.’

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

[where-the-wind-travels]

i just got the urge to make a different hss m!mc romancing michael and make it so that he's giselle, the very same "girl" he shared his first kiss with. i'm already imagining them both telling their awkward first kiss story that turns out to be the exact same story and mc (who's in the middle of telling everyone and has just now realized) being like

wait. oh my god. michael harrison?

uh... yeah? that's me.

oh man, this is awkward. well, um. that giselle girl? she's me. i'm her. except i'm... well. not a "her" anymore.

[cue absolute ?! reaction]

nice seeing you again.

and since i've pretty much forgotten about sameera i'm thinking i can make him the mc of my hss au instead so he can lend his deadname to the other giselle + so darlene can live off the juicy gossip moment. the only problem is i still haven't decided on a name for him yet
