‘Soooo Charlie's CG in DLS is giving me cognitive dissonance. On one hand, I think it's stupid to make them different that the male versions are carrying lumber but the female versions are holding a drill. But on the other hand, lady working on a construction site holding a drill (and being buff too) is still pretty gender.  It's a similar deal with the cheerleader CGs in OG HSS. On one hand I'm still happy for the male cheerleader rep. But on the other hand I think it's stupid to have the f!MC one be waving pom poms but the m!MC version be holding a megaphone in his arm and pumping his fist. Enough with the r/pointlesslygendered nonsense, let the gals carry lumber and the guys wave pompoms too’

[professor-abeloved]

so i’ve had machk rose as an oc since 2009 and tbh im thankful for choices hss for giving me the avenue to develop his personality and backstory since it was hard for me to pin down HAHA

[backstory - or should i say, machkstory- and mc/aiden ship manifesto incoming]

(abuse and divorce ment ahead!)

in essence, machk’s a brat. he’s brat who makes silly puns, finger-guns, and generally just does whatever and tries to not to care too much because of his fear of commitment. “why commit to anything if you’re just going to get tired of it? why get youreself attached to someone if they’re just going to leave at the end?”

this mostly stems from the fact that he feels like his older sibling, hailey, abandoned him after the divorce was settled because ry*n s*mmers his dad took machk far away from his abusive mum. then they just kept changing locations, exacerbating machk’s notion that everything was temporary, until he landed One School that hailey (aka one of my OG hss mcs) helped build LMAO

but at this point their mother has died and hailey’s living with their boyfriend tony so it’s chill. ish. but not really because machk keeps running away whenever hailey tries to seek him out in school. idgaf what pb says, og mc is still in oliver m. berry high, fite me.

so machk’s there, trying to running away anytime he feels an Emotion, except he’s starting to feel a somethings for this lil ragtag squad. michael just gets him, emma and caleb invoke a protective feeling from him, and while he’s scared shitless of her, maria flores is someone to be admired.

and then there’s aiden. aiden who’s committed to both music and the band, who doesn’t back down even if ezra doesn’t agree with his ideals, even if he has to deal with privately tutoring a saxophonist who only knows three notes and careless whisper. 

but aiden doesn’t give up on him because this saxophonist can play by the ear and for all that he says that he doesnt care, he’s there when aiden needs him. the fact that machk’s got a cute smile has nothing to do with this at all, nope.

tbh seeing aiden be so committed would intrigue TF out of machk. like i said, he doesn’t see the point in being of committing yourself to anything/anyone because everything is temporary so why do it?

but then aiden just does it anyway. he does it and he just keeps moving forward despite the difficulties. in spite of himself, machk ends up being charmed and rooting for aiden 

and its machk’s faith in aiden that keeps aiden going.

it’s a sweet romance where both parties mutually inspire each other. one that sure takes its time because machk keeps denying his feelings to the point where myra and the rest of band play “I Won’t Say (I’m in Love)” whenever aiden and machk are within 5 feet of each other and machk just wants to disappear into a hole in the ground.

but as machk’s High School Story unfolds and he hangs more with the squad, it really helps with his trust issues. yes, machk can be selfish, immature and terrified of being let down, but deep down, he’s a caring kid that doesn’t want anyone feel the way he did.

eventually, the squad piece two-and-two together about machk’s sibling, and they offer a variety of solutions (ranging from talking to anyone of the OG hss squad to tell hailey to just leave him alone or something more... creative), machk realises that these people are willing to ride-or-die with him. he doesn’t quite believe it, but they’ve been through so much together that maybe it’s okay. maybe it’ll work out, but he’ll never know if he keeps running.

so he talks to hailey. they have a long, emotional chat about what happened and machk isn’t completely ready to accept them as an older sibling, and hailey isn’t ready to face their father, but they’re willing to try and at least be friends. they dance at homecoming and have a lot of fun, surprisingly. machk meets tony, who offers to take him out for ice cream, and instantly approves.

speaking of home-coming!! aiden confesses his feelings when he shows up at machk’s door. machk’s shookt because even if they’ve been doing ~romantic things~ together, they’ve never really put a label to it. aiden, however, reiterates that he doesn’t want to pressure machk and he’s chill as going as friends. all he wants is for machk to be comfortable and happy -- and at this point, machk just hugs him in the middle of his speech. he holds him tight because’s it’s aiden, wonderful, talented, sweet, awkward, dedicated aiden, and he’ll be damned if he lets him, if he lets this, go.

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.

Tagging: @choicesficwriterscreations

ETA: The background is obviously from the Choices game assets

WIP/Process Pieces below!

Left: Initial pencil drawing on paper.

Middle: cropped drawing.

Right: Cropped drawing but with colors, lighting adjustments, and position adjustments for a few details done in Photoshop/Photopea.

[cadybear420]

My unpopular Choices opinions:

ROD was a confusing mess of a book that didn't feel emotional to me at all. And even if I did like it, I'd still think it worked fine as a standalone.

ATV does not get nearly enough love. It has plenty of issues, but I found way more redeeming qualities about it. And PB originally planned a book 2 for it, so it's really a shame that literally no one else advocates for this one to get its book 2 back (because unlike ROD it actually needs that sequel)

HSS:CA isn't terrible. It's a major downgrade from the OG HSS and has zero connection to the previous source material, yes. But it's far from being one of the worst. It does have its share of redeeming qualities and good ideas, putting it more in the "wasted potential" category.

Ajay isn't a bad LI. I did hate his behavior about the sabotage and framing in book 1 but I honestly feel like that's less a problem with the character and more a problem with lazy writing.

Michael's still a great LI but he felt sidelined in book 2.

TCH is the only toxic LI story that I think is done well in any way. Granted I still hate them making Kieran abusive but besides that I do think the story is pretty straight-forward and I did like the development of Kieran and MC's relationship.

A lot of the stuff people call "gender coding" is stuff that is actually just lazy coding in general. Eg. stuff like MC being the one to walk down the aisle regardless of gender in AME. That's general lazy coding because PB should be giving all their players options for who walks down the aisle, both in genderlocked and GOC books.

MCs that are blank slates and let you choose their personality are generally better than MCs with super pre-set personalities and backstories. I like being able to construct who my character is through headcanons and in-game choices. If I wanted to read pre-set main characters I'd just go read regular books lol.

The flower tux for m!MC in AME is fine. Like it's really not as bad as people have made it out to be.

Some of y'all get way too fixated on certain sprites "looking too old" or "looking too young". There are some people who "look younger" or "look older" than they're supposed to be. I get if the look is still off-putting to you that's fine but when people specifically talk about "looking too young/old" it kinda comes off as icky to me?

BaBu isn't that bad. Even as someone who hates the idea of becoming pregnant, I ended up finding it a mostly decent book. It's far from the best, but it's definitely not the worst.

Do people have any unpopular opinions on anything related to the Choices books that they would feel comfortable sharing? I'm kinda bored and it would be fun to read some hot takes imao
