Hi Everyone!! Here is another brand new next gen for my Blossom Love AU. Odysseus is extremely self-centered, entitled and very outspoken. He's also not afraid of being himself and being proud of who he is whether it's about his sexuality, wealth or social status (Hence how he got his cutie mark). Despite most of his unfavorable personality traits, Odysseus is very skilled in photography, fashion design and is quite intelligent. He also views himself as Brie's rival and is bound by his own inflated ego to be better than her at everything she does, even if it doesn't work out for him in the long run. Odysseus is currently attending Blackwell Academy for his masters in fashion design. Credit goes to Selenaede for the base I used and to Don't Nod, Square Einx, Pocket Gems, Hasbro and Lauren Faust for creating Life Is Strange, Episode:Reality Stars (Hot In Hollywood) and My Little Pony:Friendship Is Magic. I only take credit for my next gens, art, ships, stories and the Blossom Love AU. I hope you guys like him, have a beautiful day and always believe in yourselves!!!

Top Streamer by Dynasty: Rivals to Lovers trope at its finest (a story review)

Ah yes, Top Streamer. One of the very first community stories I started ever since and damn I'm lucky to be able to read it😍😍. I mostly got hooked because I was like "oh cool! A story featuring video games? LEZGOOO" and went with it. Well, it is actually more than about video games. There are a lot of things about this story that makes it not only special but also as one of my all time favorites🥹 and I'm more than glad to share it to y'all. (⁠灬⁠º⁠‿⁠º⁠灬⁠)⁠♡

THE PLOT:

In this story, you get to play as a streamer named Vienna Fox who is currently aiming to become one of the top streamers on E-Stream. To achieve that goal, she needs to get to the Top 10 on E-Stream and snag the HypeDXY sponsorship which would help skyrocket her streaming career. And so, she and her talent agency hold a dating contest that also serves as part of a charity simply for that goal. It's not until Vienna's intense rival PlayerZero enters the contest (which she thinks is nuts, considering she hates him so much) and everyone is loving it for the banter and chemistry and "enemies to lovers". However, it's until things are not going smoothly for the both of them when it comes to achieving their goals that they both decide to team up by fake dating which will help their social media image, considering the fans love their dynamic together. And who knows, Vienna might catch actual feelings for Zero depending on your points with him.😏

THE LOVE INTEREST:

We only have one love interest to pursue in this story and that is PlayerZero or mostly known as Zero in general. He is known to pick on Vienna a bunch of times which the fans play off as a bit of "playful banter" that "blurs the line between love and hate". Except, his teasings are never meant with ill intentions and that he's actually a genuine guy who doesn't mean any harm— sarcasm is just his love language. In fact, you'll be surprised by how he is actually a green flag despite his first impressions. However, another thing to note is that Zero is a mysterious guy. No one knows his real name or who he truly is behind the camera, so it is important to take note of that if you want high points with him. There's more to him than meets the eye and taking the time to get to know him more is so worth it in the end.

WORTH THE READ?

To answer the question, hell yes it is worth the read! And it's so much more than worth it(⁠●⁠♡⁠∀⁠♡⁠).

First things first, this is such a well-written story with a beloved main character and a beloved love interest that definitely deserves all the popularity and hype it gets. Vienna is such an amazing main character and it's just refreshing to see a bubbly and cheerful female lead who is not a pushover and has a back bone. I also love the big importance of feminism in the story considering how there's also not a lot of female representation in the Internet and just in general🥹. Another thing I love is Zero— bro is just the sweetest green flag LI and his character arc made me cry. His character development at the end of the story especially in the happiest ending was just beautiful that pursuing him is worth it.

But more importantly, the enemies to lovers trope— or more like, the rivals to lovers trope. The very core of this story. The trope was just well-executed and the story did the trope so much justice! Majority of the stories in Episode and majority of current books in general take the trope as "LI bULLiEs tHe MC wHIcH iS ACtuAlly rOmAnTic🤮🤮🤮" which is NOT THE VERY POINT OF THE TROPE. I'm just so happy to see the trope finally having the justice it deserves considering it's one of those misunderstood tropes that are actually good if executed properly. Overall, this story is a really good and well-written read in Episode's community catalogue and is one of the Best™ representations of the trope and that's what makes the story a popular fan favorite.

TO SUMMARIZE:

PROS

Well-written and amazing story.

Good character development for the MC and LI

Well-written MC

Amazingly well-written love interest

Allows full customization for MC and LI. Can also change MC's first name. Also allows full customization for MC's and LI's families too in the later chapters

Pretty art scenes

Point systems are easy and simple

Point Top-Ups at the end of a chapter

Bonus scenes (sometimes featuring the LI's POV). These tend to cost at least 5-8 gems

Well-written romance and chemistry between the MC and LI.

CONS

Skip-The-Wait which costs gems

Overall, I highly recommend this story to:

Enemies/Rivals to Lovers fans

People looking for a good romance read

People who like video games and/or want to try a gamer MC

Sunshine x Grumpy fans

People who prefer Choices Matter stories

TLDR: Top Streamer deserves to be one of the popular community stories in Episode because it's just a really good story💗💖.

Okay but cPTSD is actually wild

It’s literally just a Tuesday and suddenly my brain just decided to drop some new lore

I mean now that I’ve unlocked those memories they seem pretty standard but trying to decide whether (or how) to tell my therapist is actually like ridiculously funny

Did you guys ever play that game ‘Episode’ with like the most outrageous plot lines but you’d only be able to unlock like 2 chapters at a time?

Ya girl is all out of diamonds

(not quite sure how to intellectualise the significance of this new info yet)

When you've only read the first Percy Jackson book once when you were thirteen and then watched some of the Percy Jackson show at fifteen.

AND THEN YOU REPLAY A FLIPPIN EPISODE YOU READ AT AGE EIGHT AT NOW SIXTEEN AND DISCOVER IT WAS BASICALLY A REALLY ABRIGED PERCY JACKSON FANFIC?!?
