GIRLS i heard of them

22 | they/she | rip choices (it’s not dead but it might as well be)

[plejaades]

i kinda stopped engaging with the choices community a while ago for several reasons, but especially because I pretty much lost all of my interest in the app. but since it's spooktober, i really wanted to draw my favourite ghost gf. 🥺💖 i just love eleanor so much! and i wish that THOBM was longer... i need more of her. :'(

The new trend with single LI books in Choices is extremely lazy. The entire point of interactive fiction is for the player to be able to choose the way they want their story to go, and one of the biggest draws with Choices is the ability for you to choose who you want to romance. If Choices wants to give us a single LI story then they should just stop with the facade of being an IF and just write novels with no player responses.

That's not to say single-LI books can't be good. I absolutely adored WEH and think it's one of their best-written books. BUT WEH isn't really "interactive." It felt to me like a YA contemporary novel that was told with pictures instead of extensive prose.

I'm just tired of Choices pretending to be something it's not. With the majority of their books, the only real choices you had to impact the story were being able to choose your LI and now, most of the time we don't even have that. I think they've just gotten really lazy and are doing the bare minimum to get books out and part of bare minimum is cutting down on the number of routes and variants they have to write. IMO they should spend less time on fancy CG art and more time on making stories that you can actually impact with your choices.

I agree with this. I think another reason they’ve started doing more single LI books is to keep people from complaining about the white LI being forced because it calls their diversity/inclusivity persona into question. So of course instead of trying to give each LI equal screen time and writing different routes, they cut out the option to have them altogether, which defeats the purpose of an app literally called Choices like you said. And it would be different if they allowed us to make choices that actually impact the story in other ways when they do single LI books, but they don’t. So I think that’s where the frustration with them comes from. Well that and making the sole LI or the MC unlikeable…

Man, remember when your choices would actually affect future events? Like in Most Wanted and TC&TF where only high enough scores would let you do cooler stuff toward the end, or in Endless Summer where certain characters would act differently depending on their relationship scores.

(Man, remember when Choices had no money and actually cared about interactive storytelling?)

FINALLY !! The result of my Choices Fanart Giveaway Raffle!! 

Congratulations @liliplayschoices !!! 

I absolutely LOVED drawing your ILITW mc, and I hope she has a fun night bashing all those creeps with her nifty baseball bat 😏

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Now y’all might be thinking, “Hey, wait a minute, Rachel. You said that you were going to have this done a week after the raffle ended. It’s way past a week!” And you’re right, person who’s been keeping close tabs on me.

But here’s the thing: I got such a big reception — way bigger than I was expecting — that I couldn’t help but do a few extra gifts. So over the next week, I’ll be posting fanart requested by five other people who were also in the raffle! So, look forward to that!

Until then, happy playing!

rating the Rising Tides protest signs

the oceans are rising and so are we: i appreciate the zeugma. bonus points for design. 9/10

science not silence: the sign is okay, but what is the joker doing down there? 4/10

i’m with her: references campaign slogan of known fracking supporter hillary clinton, which somewhat diminishes the sign’s effectiveness. 3/10

HOT: simple yet effective. 1000/10

[priyas-tiddies]

These signs are how you know dorkass millennials wrote this story.

Except HOT that’s peak gen z

Notes: Ok, this one really took much longer time than the Raydan one. I don’t know for how long I spent on redoing the whole thing because I really2 want this to come out as beautiful as I pictured in my head and for you guys. I really hope you guys’ll love this. Sorry if this is not as good as Raydan one, but I did tried my best. :)
