OG HSS + ID Squads doing the Jingle Bell Rock dance from Mean Girls

What a bright time, it's the right time... To rock the night away... Jingle bell time is a swell time... To go glidin' in a one-horse SLAY :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD (it is almost 5AM)

Anyways, these are based on this idea! It was too tempting to resist not attempting some edits of :3

‘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.

For a guy who's a raging misogynist dudebro, he's surprisingly chill about being hit on by another dude haha

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

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.

The Squad^TM

My new OG HSS MC Alan Parke + Aiden Zhou + Caleb Mitchell + Michael Harrison. An unstoppable force.

[cadybear420]

If you are okay with answering this

For Alan and Emma

Pre-relationship - 7

General - 6

Love - 12

Domestic life - 7

Ask game here!

Pre-Relationship 7: How do their friends and family feel about them as a couple?

Scott and Julia are both very happy and supportive of the two of them.

General 6: How do their personalities complement each other? How do they clash?

The two of them are a VERY opposites-attract fem4fem couple.

Alan is incredibly extroverted, popular, and expressive. He's a total diva. He has zero sense of humbleness or modesty and he revels in it. He's incredibly flirtactious, and has dated/fucked a few other people before and quite enjoys stuff like that. He's the embodiment of the "popular diva cheerleader girl" stereotype, but as a guy lol.

Emma on the other hand is... almost entirely the opposite. She's very shy, socially awkward, wallflower. She sees herself as a "loser" sometimes. She does get into cheer with Alan, but also has a lot more of a nerdy side. She has zero dating/sex experience, and actually gets incredibly overwhelmed during her and Alan's first time.

Love 12: Who remembers the little things?

Alan is also the type who would be cautious about not wanting to screw up with Emma and would go out of his way to remember those little things. Vice versa for Emma, who also is a rather perceptive type.

Domestic Life 7: Who worries the most?

Both of them

Cadybear's MC Wardrobes: Alan Parke, OG HSS Book 3. Featuring some edits by me!

How this series goes: With each book, for a MC I'm invested in, I'll assess each of their in-game outfits. How much do I like or dislike the outfit? Is this something that suits my MC's style, or does it make me go "My MC would NOT wear/own this"? And for the outfits that my MC would not wear or own, how would I alter or replace them? I'm not going to use screenshots from the actual game because I can't be arsed. Also I want to use the different sprite expressions to express how my MC would feel about each outfit.

I like to think this is a good opportunity to elaborate on my MCs' dress styles, and show off some edits :D

Now let's finish off the trilogy for Alan Parke!

Directory for the other parts will be included in the reblogs after I've completed the posts for all books!

Ch 1: "All-American Boy" and "Spring Fever" Premium Starter Outfits

They're alright, but they both look so plain in comparison to the f!MC options. Especially the first one. The second one I think Alan would kind of like, but mainly if the shorts were shorter.

Verdict: Only the second outfit is in Alan's wardrobe, and only partly. Alter by making the shorts shorter. But also replace entirely, and use a different outfit as his official spring casual outfit.

Here's the outfit more in his style, plus him in the f!MC options "Not-So-Cold Shoulder" and "Spring Fling" respectively. I feel like he'd prefer the "Not-So-Cold Shoulder" one as his casual outfit.

Though I do also think he'd like the pink "Party On" outfit from Payton's party as a spring casual outfit. So that will probably be his official one. IDK for sure, honestly.

Ch 1/2: "Tour Guide Extraordinaire" Premium Outfit

Bruhhhhhh this does not look like a tour guide outfit!!! The "Spring Fever" outfit looks more like a tour guide outfit tbh, it even has a similar color scheme to the f!MC's outfit!

And even that aside, the outfit itself is just... not visually appealing. It looks too busy. Though I do like that the blazer and pants match Emma's spring outfit color scheme... but that's about it, and even then I don't think it's really worth it.

Verdict: Alan would NOT own this. Replace entirely. Maybe keep the blazer and pants for a different outfit.

Alan would much prefer the altered version of the "Spring Fever" outfit for being a tour guide.

BONUS ROUND: Ch 3: Baseball Uniform

Not his favorite style, but he'd work the look.

Verdict: Technically not in Alan's wardrobe because you have to return uniforms, but he'd enjoy wearing it. Keep it as is.

Ch 4: "Beach Bro" Premium Outfit for the Mitchell's Beach Party

Not bad, I think he’d really like the colors and pattern of the shirt. I also kind of prefer this as the casual outfit for him to wear during the playthrough, than the Spring Fever outfit (but not as his official spring casual outfit, of course).

But obviously, he'd far prefer the f!MC's outfit. This outfit isn’t near the levels of bland as a lot of these other m!MC special outfits, but I still don’t think it’s really something that would grab people’s attention at a party. At the very most, it just fits the beach vibe and has a nice pattern, and that's it.

Verdict: Alan would only partly own this. Keep the shirt for future potential outfits, but ditch the shorts, and replace entirely for the beach party.

Here's what he'd prefer to wear.

Ch 7: "Tight Knit" Premium Outfit for Open Mic Night at the restaurant

It's not bad... the cardigan is actually kind of cute, and the overall color scheme does look nice on him. But it doesn't really stand out that much otherwise, and it's definitely not Alan's taste.

Verdict: Alan would only partially own this. Keep the cardigan, possibly for future outfits, but ditch the rest, and replace entirely for the event.

I feel like he might wear the "Spring Fling" outfit for this event. It's a neat-looking outfit. I'm not fully sure though... might have to return to this later.

BONUS ROUND: Ch 11: Band Concert Outfit

Looks pretty good, but I think he'd far prefer the shorter sleeve one that the ladies wear.

Verdict: Only partly in Alan's wardrobe. Alter by shortening the sleeves.

Here's what he'd prefer to wear.

I should also mention that while I do have a band!Evie AU, I don't think I'll have a band!Alan or jock!Alan AU. Or I might have a band!Alan AU, but it probably would only take place over Book 1 because he’d only really do colorguard, unless they have room for some singing roles in concert band but IDK. I don't think Alan would have a lot of skill in playing any musical instruments. I'll put him in the colorguard in the bonus rounds.

Ch 12: "Blackout", "Flower Power", and "True Blue" Prom Outfits

Clearly the flower-pattern suit is meant to be the more "fem" option for male MC, as the tux was the more masc option for f!MC. I like it, but I don't see why they couldn't have had a dress option. Or better yet, why PB doesn't have dress options for m!characters more often. HWU had a dress option for male characters. Y'all could have expanded from that.

That being said, Alan would still adore that flower suit, especially if he wore it with some glittery spindly red high heels because that would be such a cunty power look.

Verdict: Only the second one would be in Alan’s wardrobe. Keep that one as it is.

Of course, Alan would still love a dress. And he’d definitely love the premium dress from the f!MC’s options, especially with the single shoulder strap and ESPECIALLY with the leg slit. So here’s him in the dress, plus a red one to more closely follow the suits colors.

And now I can't decide which one I like best as his prom outfit. Yaaayyyy

Ch 16: "Always a Tiger" Premium Finale Outfit (and carries over to HSS:CA as MC's default outfit for that trilogy if purchased)

Not bad, he’d definitely love that jacket. But preferably over his cheer uniform, rather than cargo pants.

Verdict: Only partly in Alan's wardrobe. Ditch the cargo pants, and replace with cheer uniform underneath.

Here's how it would actually look. I think Alan would likely wear this as a casual outfit for HSS:CA. But honestly I'm still figuring out what his storyline in the CA timeline would be like. I haven't even fully figured out Evie's HSS:CA rewrite/storyline. But as I do, I will be coming up with a new set of outfits for Alan in that timeline. We'll see.

[cadybear420]

Cadybear's MC Wardrobes: Alan Parke, OG HSS Book 1. Featuring some edits by me!

How this series goes: With each book, for a MC I'm invested in, I'll assess each of their in-game outfits. How much do I like or dislike the outfit? Is this something that suits my MC's style, or does it make me go "My MC would NOT wear/own this"? And for the outfits that my MC would not wear or own, how would I alter or replace them? I'm not going to use screenshots from the actual game because I can't be arsed. Also I want to use the different sprite expressions to express how my MC would feel about each outfit.

I like to think this is a good opportunity to elaborate on my MCs' dress styles, and show off some edits :D

Now we'll be doing my second OG HSS MC, Alan Parke! Let's see how well the Book 1 outfits suit him!

Directory for the other parts will be included in the reblogs after I've completed the posts for all books!

(Disclaimer: The hairstyle I use for Alan is not actually available until book 2. I'm using it in the book 1 screenshot replications and edits because I don't give a fuck, it should be available.)

Ch 1: "Sleep Tight" Pajamas

They're alright, but I don't think they're quite Alan's style.

Verdict: Alan would not own this. Replace/alter.

Here's what his pajamas would look more like.

Ch 1: "I Work Out", "Classroom Chill", "Just My Stripe", "Mr. Cool", and "Funny Man" Starter Outfits

Of the five starter outfit options, the "I Work Out" one is the only one I think Alan would like. It's light, comfy, and suits his athletic side. Hence I'm using it as his in-game fall casual outfit.

He wouldn't like the cargo pants though. And even then, he'd far prefer a particular outfit from the f!MC wardrobe.

The other outfits are just okay. He might like the jacket and shirt from "Classroom Chill" but probably wouldn't wear them together.

Verdict: Alan would only own the blue sweatshirt, the blazer jacket, and the shirt with the default names of previous customizable MCs. Alter the blue sweatshirt by replacing the cargo pants, and ditch the rest of the outfits/pieces. Use said outfit as default fall casual outfit, but one of the f!MC outfits (with some addition of this outfit) will be his official fall casual outfit.

Here's what he'd prefer as a fall casual outfit, this premium outfit from the f!MC's wardrobe. Plus a variant with the blue sweatshirt over top. Plus a variant of the blue sweatshirt outfit but with leggings, for a more fully athletic look. Plus a variant of the flower top with leggings.

Ch 2: "Party On" Premium Outfit for Brian's Pool Party

This outfit isn't bad but like... OMG, it's way too plain to be a "win points with friends and LIs" premium outfit, let alone part of Alan's wardrobe.

Seriously, I bought this one to see what would happen, and I for the life of me can not suspend my disbelief for how so many of the characters absolutely fawn over this. IT IS A PLAIN BEACH SHIRT WITH PLAIN BOARD SHORTS.

I mean sure, I headcanon Evie might wear this to look good at the party, but even then I don't think so many people would be absolutely fawning over it as if it's a frilly white short top with short shorts. Y'know, the f!MC's version of this! Yeah, the bonus dialogue for this premium outfit is so blatantly coded for f!MC's outfit, and unfortunately this is gonna be a very common theme with a lot of m!MC outfits. Do people actually act like that over a guy wearing a plain beach shirt with plain board shorts?

Verdict: Alan would not own this. Replace entirely.

Here's what he'd actually prefer to wear. Evie would prefer to wear the m!MC's version and Alan would prefer to wear the f!MC's version.

Ch 2: Swimsuit

The pattern is okay, but Alan deserves better than swim trunks.

Verdict: Alan would NOT own this. Replace entirely.

Here's what his swimsuit would actually look like, plus an alternate one for later on in the timeline.

Ch 6: Cheerleader Uniform

It looks fine, but he'd prefer the female outfit with the tiny skirt.

Verdict: Technically not in Alan's wardrobe because you have to return uniforms, but either way, Alan would not quite wear this. Alter by replacing the pants with skirt and shortening the top.

Here's the uniform he'd prefer to wear. Plus a bow, because he deserves it <3

BONUS ROUND: Ch 6: Football Unform

Alan isn't into football and the uniform isn't his favorite, but he'd find a way to rock it.

Verdict: Technically not in Alan's wardrobe because you have to return uniforms, but he might enjoy wearing it. Keep it as is.

BONUS ROUND: Ch 6: Marching Band Uniform

Not sure he'd be into band, and it's not quite his style, but he might enjoy strutting around in it.

Verdict: Technically not in Alan's wardrobe because you have to return uniforms, but he might enjoy wearing it. Keep it as is.

Ch 9: "Eye of the Tiger" and "Hear My Roar" Premium Tiger Mascot Suits for the pep rally

While he'd probably prefer to do the pep rally in his cheer uniform, he'd also have quite a bit of fun wearing a tiger costume. He'd probably go with the white one.

Verdict: Keep both outfits as they are, but Alan would pick the white one.

Ch 11: "Varsity Greens" Premium Disguise for sneaking into Hearst

He'd definitely be more willing than Evie is to disguise himself (even if he's the only one doing it)... but he'd far prefer to disguise himself as a cheerleader. Though I will say, Max swooning over m!MC's muscles thinking he's a Hearst jock is absolutely iconic.

Verdict: Alan would disguise himself, but he would not wear this as the disguise. Replace entirely.

Here's what he'd far prefer to wear as a disguise.

Ch 12: "Team Berry" Premium Outfit for the Homecoming Parade

Love the top, but Alan would not want the cargo pants. Let him wear short shorts like the f!MC got.

Once again of course, buying this outfit is the only way to get that yearbook photo with MC and LI waving from Ms. Maddox's car, and the photo itself is still enjoyable. But still.

Verdict: Only partly in Alan's wardrobe. Alter by replacing the pants.

Here's what the outfit would look like with Alan's actual preferred style of shorts/pants.

Ch 14: "The Classic", "All That Glitters", and "Semiformal-ish" Homecoming Outfits

Of these three, the only one he'd really like is the gold waistcoat outfit. Even then, he'd far prefer a dress.

Verdict: The only one of these that Alan might own is the waistcoat outfit. Even then, replace it entirely.

Here's a dress that's more in Alan's style. While I'd normally have used the boutonniere from the outfit I liked the most, the one from the tux outfit is a literal match with the corsage that Emma wears, so I used that.
