#my top 3 stories

Top 3 Thursday

Here we goooooooooo!!!!! Here are my favorite Pixeberry stories!

I guess I’m showing my age here that out of all the books old and new these are the ones that I gravitate towards which were ironically some of the first stories I read when I started playing the choices App.  

TRR:  I have always been a fan of the “underdog”.   In TRR the MC Riley Brooks is the complete underdog that wouldn’t have that opportunity to do something like what she did, given her background and I find that appealing.  Then enter this handsome prince in disguise stage left, that is absolutely enamored with her.   Yes!!!  And of course, if any of you follow my works, TRR is the majority of the fanfic that I write on the fandom, though I write them being in royal and not royal backgrounds. 

Perfect Match: Immediately not going to lie, I could feel the vibe between MC and Damien from the beginning, but he didn’t act on it.  Hayden shows up, and he is confident, and wants to spend time with you.  Did I have a feeling something was up with him as the story went on?  Yes. But I was still intrigued by the storyline and felt for my MC. I also was a fan the movie Bicentennial Man that has a similar basis to it.  

The Freshman: I love this one because it takes me back to a carefree time in my life.  My college years were packed with a lot of the things that happened in the freshman.  I had never been away from my family for a significant amount of time before, and I had a lot to learn, and I learned a lot about myself. I loved the freshman because a lot of it was relatable to that person I was at that time period of my life.  Which also sparked me using some of the characters writing my own version of the Freshman, with a TRR crossover component.

i love your riddle design so much, he's so pointy and british. so gracious. do you think he would enjoy a brazilian goiabada

thank you! ❤️🖤❤️ it's just. important to me on a level I can't explain that Riddle have an extremely pointy nose that he can stick into everyone else's business.

also goiabada is sweet and fruity and red, I think he would like it very much indeed!

In no particular order because I love them all...

Open Heart: I know you're shocked! 😄 Funny story? I was a latecomer to Open Heart because I had no desire to read it. For the longest time, people told me it was so good, but I kept putting it off. I kept associating it with Grey's Anatomy and, well, Grey's sucks. lol I finally bit the bullet, and I never looked back. I kind of wish I had found it sooner, but better late than never.

It is such an excellent ensemble of characters, from the friends to the LIs, and I just loved this MC from the start. Book One was brilliant. Book Two was really good - but they did mess it up a bit - didn't they? Then there was Three... but I found gems even in this abomination, and that led to my obsession with Tobias Carrick, so all is well that ends well! lol

Wake the Dead: So this was absolutely, 150% outside of my usual fare. I did not read it until long after the story was completed - and again, I regret that. Zombies and me were a no-go, but my sad and sorry ass decided to give it a shot when I saw Eli's sprite and was like, "Well, hello there!" Lesson learned, go outside of my comfort zone. I couldn't put this down. Again, it was a wonderful ensemble of characters, and I really was compelled by how each one coped with such adversity in different ways. The writing was much better than anything PB has offered in some time, and while there were foibles for sure, it was a solid story. It doesn't focus on romance/smut, but the romance and smut within it are quite good. It was the only other story I was ever really compelled to write for, and without this, I doubt I would have given TLOU a chance... and that is a freakin masterpiece... so I'm grateful.

Desire and Decorum: This was such a sweet, sad, lovely story. The MC was a strong woman who was ahead of her time and never backed down. Is there a more perfect LI than Ernest Sinclaire? I'm going to argue that there is not. This was perhaps the first PB story that made me cry real tears. Three wasn't my favorite, but One and Two were delightful, and I really need to read them again.

My runners up: A Very Scandalous Proposal, A Courtesan of Rome, and TRR 1 and 2.

Local big sister experiences emotions, more at 6

Been wanting to do one of these with Lauren for AGES, but I never got round to it. Then I saw the Lydia and Phinium expression sheets on @littledigits’ website and I felt inspiration like never before.

The funniest struggle I have with Lauren’s design right now is that she nose too big for she got damn face. Literally, Hilda characters noses take up a fairly small portion of their faces, and her’s took up WAY too much, leaving little room for her to make facial expressions. But I struggled to find a fix because when I made the nose smaller it just didn’t look like Lauren anymore, so I took this as an opportunity to work on that!

She still has a larger nose than most characters, starting higher up (like her grandad!) and ending lower down (but not quite as low as before). I also made her eyes a little smaller and with a shape similar to Lydia’s (though you can see in some of these I hadn’t quite landed on that yet and her eyes are a bit too big), which works both as a nod to her parentage and because I think it makes the nose look bigger. This still doesn’t leave as much room for the mouth as most other characters, but that’s okay — Lauren is a very private person who keeps her feelings close to her chest, I think it works for her to have subtler expressions, adds to how guarded she is! Oh and I also updated the shape of her hair slightly, just to make it a bit more style accurate.

These changes are pretty small on their own, but I think combined they work well to make Lauren feel a lot more…alive? Far less stiff, anyway. I think she also has a more unique facial structure now, instead of just “what if Johanna was 90% nose”. She’s still got a big old nose and I love it but now she can emote, yay!

This is really all just concept stuff, I’m hoping to get a new fullbody style-ref for Lauren out soon! Now that I’ve improved the main issues I had with her face in the last ref, now it’s onto the silhouette! I want her to read as more of a strong character (though it comes across decently in her current ref, I wanna push it more without being as exaggerated as Ahlberg, which is. A challenge for me lol), streamline her silhouette, and finally make her taller than Johanna like she’s always meant to have been <3 I made her shorter for so long because I thought it would help her read better as her daughter but you know what? That’s dumb actually, she’s tall.

ANYWAYS, thank you for listening in on the annual Lauren redesign, and to the artists behind the show for posting so much amazing inspiring show stopping concept work for free because it makes my autism worse /pos
