Bridgewater fanart! (Who is surprised? /lh /j)

This fanart has been inspired by Lauren Shippen herself, from the # she put on the reblog she did of my Jeremy Bradshaw sleeping fanart “also: new headcanon I now have vipin started TAing for Jeremy when he was still in undergrad soJeremy also has one photo of the two of them at Vipin's graduation in his office”. So I had to draw it of course, I’m so thankful for Lauren’s support, feeling truly so honoured so this is the least I can do 🤧

This is to me, what Vipin asked to do to Jeremy, and so he did because he has always appreciated Vipin (a beginning of friendship there?? They both cherish that pic for sure and yes I plan on drawing Jeremy’s office, and yeah I only drew this to put it in a small frame in Jeremy’s office, that’s my dedication 😭🤌 I’m putting a read more for a further explanation of my headcanon and also the outfit (regalia, cords, medallions wise) because yeah there is a whole day of research behind this and also finger cramps because my Apple Pencil decided to slowly d word on me as I was trying to finish this fanart so I used my fingers jejdjd)

So: please know that I’m French, so it was very hard to find information about graduation ceremonies: we do not have that in France, so I’m sorry if something is off!

First of all, professors and whole faculty members must wear their regalia at graduation ceremonies hence Jeremy having his academic regalia. And it made me learn that the velvet colour on some parts of it + the hood colour differ depending on the field they had their phd in, Jeremy’s is white because to me he has his phd in history (at least from what I understood, as even in S1 EP01 he talks in his lecture room about getting credits in history) which counts in the “art, social and humanities” section because history counts as humanities which is white. (Which also explains why Vipin’s tassel on his cap is white because to me he also went in that field) Jeremy’s hat is a velvet tam with a gold tassel which is the formal hat for the doctorate level.

Then… come Vipin’s cords and medallions. I headcanon Vipin as a really high achieving student, I might be wrong though, but he is too great of a TA to not be. So as a disclaimer: all the information I gathered there come from things linked to the Bridgewater State University because I really wanted to be accurate as much as I possibly could (Yes I truly spent a day for that and I might have drunk one or two Monsters).

For the medallions: the one with the black neck ribbon is “the Diversity Champion medallion recognizes and honors those students who have worked tirelessly for the advancement of diversity and inclusion during their time at Bridgewater College.” I really see Vipin trying to really be actively trying to make it go for the best in clubs and such at BSU and the second one with the blue/green neck ribbon is “The Alpha Chi medallion symbolizes the honor and distinction of being a member of the national academic honor society.

The supporting neck ribbon is in the colors of Alpha Chi.”

Which brings us to the cords he has on his regalia: the green and blue cords represent Alpha Chi as well.

The gold cord represent his level of achievement it’s for “summa cum laude” (“meaning "with highest praise", typically awarded to graduates in the top 1%, 2%, or 5% of their class, depending on the institution.” Which is the highest distinction one can have when you get a diploma at uni in the US).

Then the red and blue cords “Graduates wearing blue and red cords with mixed tassels are members of the national history honor society, Phi Alpha Theta.” (Which for me also was a good idea as Vipin is truly going through so many documents linked to history for Jeremy, our guy is that interested into academic stuff)

Then for the purple rainbow scarf… it’s a real thing I’ve seen on graduating pictures from BSU!! And I gotta admit… I’m quite fond of the idea of Vipin being pan 🫣 (just my own hc always)

I’m sorry for the extra lengthy explanation but I feel like it was needed (maybe it is to flex my research /j) as I think it was really interesting in the development of the hcs around Vipin and even Jeremy!

And to me needless to say but Jeremy has been greatly moved that Vipin asked him to do a picture together where they throw the cap in the air because to Jeremy, Vipin could’ve done it with his fellow classmates. And Jeremy is fully aware of how much it was important for Vipin. (And maybe own little headcanon: I’m sure Jeremy doesn’t even have much pics from his own graduations)

I truly imagine that during the whole graduation ceremony Jeremy was feeling uncomfy in his academic faculty regalia because it’s way too formal (although it’s quite mandatory to wear it) so he is just 🧍🏻 standing being no thoughts head full of folklore only (he is of course very proud of his students nonetheless) therefore, Vipin asking him to do that picture must have been THE highlight he had during the ceremony (even counting all the ceremonies he ever had to attend to)

And to finish in case you missed it, here’s the fanart Lauren reblogged and where she talked about her new headcanon (saying this like that sounds surreal to me, I’m so honoured once again 🥹): https://www.tumblr.com/electromignion/716771521320878080/i-finally-finished-my-bridgewater-fanart-this

*peeks* Idv for the ask game, maybe?

see this is a fun one but also intimidating bc there's like. a specific date where i stopped following along with the lore of the characters and i think you'll be able to tell. so sorry in advance for that lmfao

this also assumes the hunters and survivors are chill and defaults to "first release" for dual identity characters (re: weepy and joker, we'll default to joker. professor and luchino, default to luchino, so on - the only exception being alice)

also worth noting: i asked my beloved for help and they said "put mad eyes for every answer and piss people off" so you'd best appreciate this /lh

Choices Fan Interview

Tagged by @airwreckyoface

Favorite Book & Why: TC&TF - Like ES, you can really tell the care they put into this book. They created an entire world which in itself is a huge effort. I ALWAYS want to learn more about it. All of the characters are interesting, engaging, and real. The reason why TC&TF pulls ahead of ES, imo, is that recently ES has become a little too crazy. TC&TF has magic, but it has rules. ES has time travel so, on one hand, you can get away with not having rules, but then you also have sea monsters and frost foxes, high-tech supersoliders, super advanced technology, Navi plant people, and it can feel a little too much at times.

Least Favorite Story & Why: RoE. I mean, I love Violet/Mean!Cousin’s character and Party!twin x Mira and would like to see more of them, but RoE has been stretched so unnecessarily. The should’ve just split book 2 into book 1 and 3 and kept RoE a two book story. 

Your MC’s LI for each story:

TFM/TSM: Madison Eckhart Becca Davenport

TC&TF: Val Greaves

RoE: 

Big-Sis!MC > Mr. Sloan/Business!LI

Party!twin > Mira Banerji

ES: Michelle Nguyen Estela Montoya

#LH: Leah Myers, but I think I prefer Ben for Damali tbh

TRR: Hana Lee

Hero: Poppy Patel Mystery Girl

HSS!Choices: Morgan Maria Flores

Favorite MC ship: Mira x Party!twin and MC x Becca. 

Least favorite MC ship: MC x Mark Collins. He’s cooled down book 2, I actually mildly like him now, but book 1 dude was such a creep. Like… I never understood why so many people liked MC x Mark. To me, he was just obsessed with MC. The book kept telling, not showing we had chemistry and the rest of the #LH crew just kept pushing us together just because Mark was so obsessed with us. 

Favorite non-MC ship: Kenna Rys x Val Greaves. I like to think I started this ship, but I’m pretty sure I was just the loudest shipper. Oh all the Kenna ships, I feel there is a better progression, at least imo, of their relationship. 

Least favorite non-MC ship: Tripp x Madison x Logan or any combination of these three. She’s mine.

Favorite Character & Why: Professor Vasquez, the mean professor done right. Sorry, not sorry Prof. Hunt.

Least Favorite Character & Why: Grayson Prescott. It’s not that he’s boring, he just seems really… dull. I can’t really tell you anything about his personality other than he’s nice and wants to give back to the community…. and he has daddy issues. Admirable traits (except the daddy issues), but… opening a nightclub? He says Prescott industries don't care about the community and I guess that’s true, but… you don’t really see that in Hero and MC never really has an opinion on it. I think the conversation with mom is one of two (?) real times we know the company itself, not his father, is shady. Maybe there’s more to his character is diamond scenes, but I shouldn’t have to pay for characterizations of their character.

Character you like that most people don’t: I guess Becca Davenport. I’m seeing A LOT of hate towards her because she’s so mean but then I see people wanting to see Brian’s soft side so wtf guys. 

Character you don’t like but most people do: People really like Chris Powell and I get why people like him, but they really like him.

Which Character are you most like in real life: Hmmm… maybe a weird mix of Michelle and Hana and TFM!MC?

If you could live in any choices story which one would it be and why: I would say TFM/TSM because I don’t want to have to deal with running for my life or my Nana’s weird obsession with my love life.

How long have you been playing: I’m pretty sure I’ve been playing since the app was launched.
