Hey I can actually throw this on Tumblr now since Ch4 released! A fake Blake/Phoenix moment I made that the producers really wanted to include, but couldn't include the whole thing since they both avoided the cameras. So they compromised by just airing the audio instead. The captions themselves go by really fast (I didn't realize that a conversation like this would take a lot longer) so I've included a transcript below the cut, with more context for the scene I couldn't include.
Credit to @bunniebi for the Infamous MC maker! I need to make ten thousand more it's my favourite.
[MICO'S unreleased song "Ever After" plays in the background]
Phoenix: God, I feel like I'm gonna pass out!
Blake: Pussy.
Phoenix: You do it then.
Blake: I'm not the one who pole dances.
Phoenix: I TOLD YOU THAT IN CONFIDENCE.
Blake: How's that working out for you?
[Phoenix stares at Seven, who's at the opposite end of the room with Avina]
Blake: ... Hey.
Phoenix: Fuck- Sorry.
Blake: Am I not interesting enough for you, Lyre?
Phoenix: Don't do this right now.
Blake: Then keep your eyes on me, princess.
Phoenix: I think I just felt my non-existent dick shrivel up and die.
Blake: Wow, I'm almost hurt.
[Phoenix shoves Blake against a wall]
Phoenix: Just stop fucking talking.
Blake: While the mics are on? Ballsy.
Phoenix: What part of "shut up" are you not getting?
Finally decided to upload Phoenix on to my Tumblr! I used @bunniebi's MC template!
Picrew used
"why is his born star stat so high?" Because I said so /nm
Stuff about Phoenix under the cut
Full name: Phoenix Starr
Stage name: Lyre (Polaris later down the line)
Birthday: September 30
Band name: Chaos Anthem
Ethnicity: Japanese-American
He did a complete 180 in terms of energy when Seven left, and only realized his feelings after the fact! I'm trying to be a bit more open about my OCs please ask about them. Please. I love yapping about them.
His stage name as Lyre is intentional (by me, not by him), since it's an instrument and sounds a lot like "liar", which is what Phoenix usually feels like.
Phoenix is transmasc, and Seven was the one who actually gave him the name Phoenix!
He has a weird relationship with his love for Misfit Alley, and while he's a fan of Griffin, it's more along the lines of wanting to be like him.
He's reaching the point of wondering if staying with the band is worth it, and feels guilty for even considering leaving (he's probably going to leave after BOTB).
The scattered pages have lyrics that I wrote for him, it's a song that I'm gonna probably use in game when the time's right!
You can have ONE small itty bitty snippet of my MC and Blake. Small as hell. Like two whole lines. They're much nicer to each other than how I'm portraying them here.
"I'll ruin you," Blake sneers, hands balled up against Phoenix's chest.
"Promise?" They grin up at him, smile full of teeth that does nothing except excite him.
did an edit of sorts for Phoenix/Seven, fun fact that last conversation happened because Phoenix was getting married and Seven confessed a day before the wedding :]
I think I'm being SO clever in naming this snippet "in heaven" when it's about seven minutes in heaven. Kicking my feet and giggling. Who's in the closet with Phoenix, is it Blake? Is it Seven? I'll decide in the car.
(it's both during two separate turns, I love torturing my blorbo.)
