Top 10 Choices Villains

1. Azura: pure evil in the form of woman. I will forever hate her for what she did to Leon;

2. Astrid + Vincent Wescott: creating a secret society, sacrificing tons of people and traumatizing their own daughter for power (that made them stop aging). Rich people be crazy... 😳

3. Jason Shaw: sneaky bastard pretending to be nice, corrupt cop, threatened a teenager, killed people. You're on top 3, jerk!

4. Rheya Apostholus: her ability to control almost all vampires still gives me the creeps. But I can't deny her backstory is compelling;

5. Marc Antony: because making people fight 'til death in the Coloseum was just a normal Tuesday for him (and I bet he did worse in real life), this asshole deserves to be on top 5;

6. Barthelemy Beaumont senior: this mf'er killed Liam's mother, took away the heir, usurped the throne, traumatized his own sons and for that I hope he burns in hell;

7. Silas Prescott: destroying an entire city + traumatizing his own son for power. Rich people be crazy - part two;

8. Trystan Richards: disgusting bastard thirsty for power that nearly assaulted MC and almost killed the chosen LI. I loathe him;

9. Guy Ledford: self-centered jerk who used his own daughter to sell coupons for his stupid app and wanted custody of a child when he spent years without paying child support;

10. Vanessa Blackwood: no, you don't deserve forgiveness after what you did, you rich snob!

Honorable mention: Countess Henrietta and Madeleine Amaranth (she's more an antagonist than a villain, but I like to hate her 😂)

Despicable Me 4

Coincidentally, this movie was released on the same day as my ear, nose, and throat appointment. I had put off watching this movie, since I was struggling to find a streaming service where Despicable Me 3 was available. (Yes, when I watch sequels, I tend to re-watch the previous movies to brush up on the franchise.) My sister offered to take me to the movies sometime, so I ultimately gave in and rented Despicable Me 3 on YouTube. I encountered some spoilers for this movie, but thankfully not a lot.

Even though some people seemed to have problems with this movie, I enjoyed it. I thought it was just as funny and action-packed as the previous three movies. I liked that Silas Ramsbottom came out of retirement to return to the AVL. I definitely preferred him over the woman who replaced him in Despicable Me 3. I couldn't really understand why Gru's new son liked to torment him so much. I get that Gru wasn't always great with kids, but by now, he's a caring family guy! Thankfully, Gru refused to give up on him and eventually earned his son's respect. I just hope Gru Junior doesn't actually become a supervillain.

The new villain, Maxime Le Mal, had a pretty interesting design. On first impression, he just looked like a rich guy with glasses. I was kinda reminded of Maybe from Ralph Breaks the Internet. I found it interesting that a fancy-looking guy like Maxime would not only be into cockroaches, but also be a human-cockroach hybrid! Like, wow! I also liked that his girlfriend Valentina was taller than him. Yeah, she had high heels on, but the height difference looked significant enough that even without the heels, I bet she still would've been the taller partner. Knowing that Maxime was voiced by the same actor who voiced Megamind and Lord Business, it did not surprise me that he sounded like those two characters, but with a French accent. That weapon of his, though, was scary. I mean, as cool as Maxime looks as a cockroach hybrid, I feel bad for anyone who is a victim of his weapon.

While I understood why Gru and his family had to temporarily assume new identities, it was unfortunate that they had to go through a lot of trouble to do so. Gru must've been dying on the inside trying to pretend to be a social guy who doesn't dress in dark colors. It didn't surprise me that Lucy didn't know how to style other people's hair, but it did surprise me that her unlucky client was capable of running and dealing with obstacles just as well as she does! It makes me wonder whether she is a secret agent or a villainess. I felt especially bad for Agnes, who not only had to be separated from her goat Lucky, but was unable to assume her assigned identity. It was sweet when the family returned home, and Agnes finally reunited with Lucky.

I didn't have much of an opinion on Mr. and Mrs. Prescott, but I was not too fond of their daughter Poppy. She blackmailed Gru into helping her steal the school mascot of Gru's old villain school! At least she kept Gru's secret safe, after the heist was accomplished. You'd think that stealing the school mascot would give the villain school a reason to reject the person responsible for the heist, but perhaps the principal didn't know Poppy was involved? Or if she knew of Poppy's involvement, perhaps the principal was proud that Poppy was able to accomplish her first heist.

Knowing that most of the minions left Gru for his brother in the third movie, I wondered how they were able to get involved with the AVL. Given how badly Dru screwed up the heist in Despicable Me 3, perhaps the minions learned that Dru wasn't worth working for any longer? Or perhaps the AVL simply made an offer that the minions couldn't resist? I liked that the super serum made five of the minions more distinctive in their appearances, but alas, the Mega Minions caused too much damage in their attempts to be heroes. They seemed quite happy doing their own individual things, but I liked that they were so eager to come back out of retirement when they were summoned.

It was a relief to see that the effects of Maxime's weapon weren't necessarily permanent and that Dr. Nefario was finally freed from the carbonite he was frozen in. I didn't know how Maxime got returned to his fully human self, but I suppose the staff at the AVL prison had an antidote, similar to the one Dr. Nefario used on Gru Junior. Maxime and Gru's performance of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" was fun to watch. Nice to see that Vector was eventually returned to Earth, after being stuck on the moon and Mars. Interestingly, he seemed to be the only one who still got to keep his regular outfit in prison. Perhaps it was because his tracksuit was in the same shade of orange as the prison uniforms. Scarlet and Herb Overkill didn't look much older than they were in Minions. Plus, Scarlet was the only prisoner who had a dress on. Nice to see all of the villains from the previous movies again.

How *did* you come up with those names?

Thanks for asking!

I googled so much, you have no idea and of course 90% of results are just those stupid "x name generator" sites >:( , so it took forever...

Things i found most useful: reddit threads where people asked for halfling (or generally fantasy sounding) names, Websites that list medieval names (if possible not baby name websites but theyre hard to avoid)

Here's some first names collected from reddit, random baby name websites and list articles (also this site, this site and this site, were helpful): Silas, Cedric, Peregrine, Augustus, Remington, Archibald, Montgomery, Hildebald, Ladislaus, Mojmir, Stanislaus, Edmund, Benedict, Leopold, Balin, Frederick, Hildebrand, Wallace, Archibald

First names i found in a list of hobbits in LOTR: Adelard, Doderic, Filibert, Fredegar, Hildibrand, Hildifast, Hildigard, Hildigrim

Some last names i found through random googleing and reddit threads (and just mashing words together that sound sort of hobbit-ish): Teapuff, Blusterwind, Dandyramble, Prescott , Goldenleaf, Goldbarrel, , Goldenhill

and then one of sites about halfling names gave me the idea to look for old english surnames and i came across this wiktionary list (which was so helpful!) and there i found these names: Biddlecombe, Brokenborough, Goldsborough, Popplestone, Wigglesworth

tbh finding names for ocs is always one of my fave parts, so i had fun even though the googling was very frustrating because of those stupid generator sites^^''

Announcing the Hero, Vol. 2 fan project! ARTISTS WANTED!

Pixelberry: *Cancels Hero 2*

Me:

That's right, I'm happy to announce a project I've been working on for a while: Hero, Vol. 2! This is going to be a full visual novel, with choices, branching paths, and more, which will pick up exactly where Vol. 1 left us all hanging! Read on to learn more about what's planned for the project, to volunteer artwork, or to beta test the first chapter!

Download the first chapter (no art yet, text-only) here. All releases will be forever free to play!

So what is it?

As mentioned above, this is a true visual novel, similar to the Choices books themselves in which you click through the dialogue and make various choices which will affect the story. It will eventually have art, but right now it is text only with choices and point systems implemented. Apologies for the bare-bones setup, but trust me, you wouldn't want to see my sad attempts at drawing!

What can we expect from the project?

Chapter 1 is finished (except for the art); the project will have 15 chapters in all

Fully customizable MCs, including a non-binary option, customizable first AND last name, as well as "importing" certain choices from Vol. 1

Significant differences in the story based on which LI (or none) you selected, as well as one other major choice at the end of Chapter 1 which will result in 20 different story combinations

A point system tracking how close your MC is to either the Prism Realm or to Earth, with different endings and altered dialogue based on the score

Learn more about the Prism Realm and the people who inhabit it, including MC's parents

New Prism love interest to be introduced in a later chapter

Each chapter has an optional upgrade for one of the heroes to unlock more options in action scenes, NO DIAMONDS REQUIRED!

I REPEAT NO DIAMONDS EVER CHARGED FOR ANYTHING, ALL OPTIONS ARE FREE!

How frequently will chapters be released?

In terms of text and coding, I can complete a chapter in about 2 weeks if I push myself (the outline and most of the base script for the project is already written). Art, on the other hand...

(NOTE: Currently Chapter 2 is significantly delayed due to issues with coding a certain section. Once this is completed the rest of the project should proceed much quicker!)

Where's all the art?

Right now, I'm the only one working on the project. I am also very artistically challenged... so if you want to volunteer, please message me! I need sprite and background artists and will let you know what needs doing. Right now... basically everything!

Where's the Grayson option?

As his storyline will be drastically different from Kenji and Eva's, Grayson's path is still a work in progress but I'm aiming to have it done by the end of next week!

Where can I read it?

As mentioned above, the following link will continuously be updated with the latest version of the game. Find it here!

I spotted a typo/the game crashed/something else went wrong/the universe exploded

Message me here on Tumblr and I'd be happy to take care of it!

Poppy Patel

Dax Darcisse

Silas Prescott

Shrapnel

[Part I]

Powered Silas

And Dax, uh... at work

[herarmoredheart]

Why am I still surprised? Anyway, Hero and Endless Summer crossover would be so awesome.

[noheadthoughtsemptyig]

I miss “Hero” so much...

[raydanlykel]

Silas Prescott was the republican representation in choices

[storm-holt]

It’s Jesus himself. 😱

[gutsfics]

oogh having my dls mc be Avery makes me wanna put Devi's sisters in other choices novels too

currently im thinking Kennie worked for Prescott Industries as a sustainability manager, although Silas really considered her position purely as existing for PR. Grayson listened to her though, and they were friends. she becomes a superhero and gains plant-based powers. also she graduated Hartfeld U with a degree in environmental science

i dont really know about Sloane yet though. maybe she's my Hot Couture mc? i need to play it first though

Hero 2 Fan Project - Grayson update!

Version 0.02 has been released, with a complete Grayson route for Chapter 1! His will be significantly different from Kenji and Eva's routes, so it's worth checking out. The art post has also been updated with the extra things needed for Grayson's storyline. Play it here!

As always, any and all support is appreciated!

My roommate plays Hero...

Her reaction to seeing Silas Prescott for the first time:

“Oh my god! He looks like an art teacher who doesn’t have his shit together! He looks like he’s been hanging around the community college campus since he graduated! He looks like he goes to coffee shops and sits there with a laptop, pretending to write a novel! He looks like he’s selling a book on how to pick up women out of the back of his car! He looks like he’s trying to sell me pot! Really bad pot!”
