i managed to get a perfect score for the second challenge in one run! i'm not 100% sure what choices affect it but i had MC writing for SV / UW writing for the band, and then day of the challenge made sure to be rested, looked to the crowd for sympathy and i think i played up the dynamic with the band?
yesss the choices are dependent on ur stats as well so that choice path may be a failing score for others heheh there's also UW/SV choices you need to pass but those are constant and it depends on the type of song you chose + if you chose to benefit your band or there's quite a few requirements!
for example, a perfect score if you wrote for SV would be:
Chose to write a song modeled after their recent work instead of their most popular work.
Chose to write a song that benefits SV and and if you wrote about the relationship, you need to have over 50 percent with Sev. If you wrote about your experience, you need to have not voted Seven backup. Seven doesn't fuck with the victim mentality if they believe you are, in fact, not a victim and it really throws them off.
Then the rest of the points come down to MC choices and stats. You need at least five points to get a perfect score. You can either gain points there if you fuck up with the music points or get more than you need to win the Challenge!
I wish I could draw because I would draw ivelisse so bad.
Alt baddie Puerto Rican mami with black and green hair. Just !!! I understand why everyone is abut her.
And she deff has her nipples pierced- it wasn’t apart of the options but Ivy deff has them LOL
Ivelisse Rodriguez “Ivy”
Age: 25
Tan skin big brown eyes green and black hair, sometimes piercing nose, piercing, tongue, piercing, bellybutton piercing, and her ears pierced. Has tattoos on her body, covered the seven one
Extremely nice too nice- but also morally gray when it comes to love and sex. Hence why she also likes Victoria. She finds her attractive and is happy to be included with G. She can’t phantom cheating really she wants both.
Also she’s extremely flirty- and has flirted with all the RO’s.
Morally I get it I should love G but I LOVE G DOWN. It sucks that I also love Blake but lowkey arent they same person at this point ajajahjaajhajaj like wooooo
hahahaha and hmmm outwardly they look the same but I feel like they are opposites in every way that counts…
My god I truly do love them- it gets to a point like how can you love anyone else? Like Blake not being an RO a real one kinda is funny and interesting because he spends so much time with you (if you are on that route) and he makes sure to ruin any interact with you and G- even forewarns you that you’re infatuation is going to lead you down a path that is destructive. (Dakota also kinda also does that as well but they aren’t around as often and is equally a bad influence) whilst Blake is actively trying to remind you it’s a bad choice- and you shouldn’t fall down that Alice and wonderland trap door you’re going down. 
(August tho is my third favorite)
I’m gonna add to this- my mc ivelisse storyline- Blake is falling down bad for her and she for him but her idolization of G is so wrapped in her head that she can’t fathom why he likes her but he does and she can’t break away from the celebrity crush that she has for him(she also likes Victoria as well- we are weaning on the trouple) but she also really likes Blake. Like if G wasn’t there Blake would be the person she would be with. Which she knows would be bad with her band but in the other timeline he probably wouldn’t have caused that issue anyways. She wants G because it’s been such a long time crush and he’s famous and that’s her idol and she’s getting to know him and softening her heart and kinda seeing him as a person.
But Blake is the same way for her she also is now seeing him in a light that isn’t the bad guy in her story. She wants him as bad- but she so stuck in G that she can’t even see a real future with Blake. Even hearing the “I wanted you since your audition tape” is enough for her to go in a tail spin.
Her idol? Wanted her- since pre her being on the show. Like she’s so gassed up, so so deeply infatuated and falling so hard she doesn’t care about consequences even when she knows it’s so bad- she knows the downfall will be so fiery and could cause her pain/ black listing etc but she’s falling head first into this she can’t see anything more than G and sometimes Victoria. She’s gone for real like the next chapters she’s gonna be so beyond locked in on G and Vic and have her moments with Blake because she is so wrapped into Blake but like I said again she’s so off the goose with G than she’s gonna make G the choice everytime and break Blake heart because she’s gonna pick G and him even if she wants Blake.
You're going to be a superstar, no matter what it takes.
You and your friends have been in a band since high school, when all you were was a lead singer to a band that played out of someone's garage and did occasional birthday party gigs for the neighborhood kids. after years of grinding, your band has yet to make it big, but has managed a small and dedicated cult following. All you and your bandmates want is to see your names in glittery lights, traveling the world to perform for millions of fans.
Your chance comes in Misfit Alley's Battle of the Bands. After auditioning every year with no success, your band has finally gotten the opportunity to tour across the United States and open for the biggest band in the world, performing against other bands in the hopes that you win and get signed.
As you perform, your fame rises and you can see the dream coming to fruition. But with fame comes problems of its own, some that might just ruin you and the band you swore to take to the top.

✮ FEATURES ✮ CHARACTER INTROS ✮
Customize your MC (the lead singer of your band)'s appearance and personality, as well as their public image and persona. Are they loved or hated by the public? Controversial or appeasing? Humble or arrogant? Fame and money-hungry or simply there for the music?
Following that, work on your band's public image and whether they're mainstream or underground, depending on the choice of music you release and what kind of promo you do. Is your band hated by parents due to its explicit content or is your band squeaky clean, perfect for a mainstream label?

Create your own lyrics and decide whether you want to be a genuine artist or the face of a brand.
Get rich and famous ! Isn't that what you're here for?
✮THE BAND + ROs✮
The Band Manager: Orion/Oriana Quinn ✮ he/him or she/her, 35 ✮ [RO] -- strict and reserved, O is the antithesis of what a rockstar is. Some call their cold and uptight demeanor having 'a stick up their ass' but they call it being business focused. O is all about bringing the band to the top, which includes being professional at all times.
Special romance route: you can choose to have been chasing O for years, to no success (until now?)
The New Addition: August Pierce ✮ they/them, 26 ✮ [RO] -- With the exit of your bandmate, August has taken her place as the band's drummer. Usually shy and reserved, that all goes out the window once they start playing. You wonder if their isolation is less a personality trait and more the fact that they're in a band with longtime friends. Doesn't matter--seems like it'll take a while for you to get close to them regardless.
The Idol: Griffin/Gina 'Gigi' Reign ✮ he/him or she/her, 28 ✮ [RO] -- the spunky, charming and controversial lead singer of Misfit Alley and now your mentor, G Reign is currently the most famous person on Earth. Everyone either hates them, wants to be them, or wants to fuck them. Of course, this means a slew of trouble if one gets close to them...that is if they even allow it.
Special romance route: engage in an affair / engage in a strictly physical relationship (that can lead to a romantic one) // poly route with Victoria Valentine
The Rival: Seven Lawless ✮ he/him or she/her, 27 ✮ [RO] -- once your best friend or ex, they are now your rival and the lead singer of Soft Violence, another band competing for Battle of the Bands. They hate you. Still, the line between love and hate is a whole lot of passion.
Special romance route: can either be an ex or a former best friend, enemies to lovers.
The Girl Dad: Sebastian Holland ✮ he/him, 33 ✮ [RO] -- a normal and friendly data analyst, Sebastian isn't about the music scene....but his daughter is and she's a superfan of your band. Sebastian is your typical 'nice guy' almost too nice, sometimes, and has been dragged along by his daughter to follow the Battle of the Bands for her birthday. He's just a normal civilian. The last thing you should do is get to know him, right?
The Eye Candy: Victoria Valentine ✮ she/her, 27 ✮ [RO] -- G Reign's wife, she's an upcoming actress and model. Victoria has been G's eye candy since they came up on the scene, but you can almost sense the tension between them. And the way Victoria seeks shelter in someone else...that could be you.
Special romance route: engage in an affair // poly route with G Reign
Hello again! Hope the spring has been pleasant for you 🌷
With this update we're continuing the pilgrimage, which is turning out more dangerous than even the Crown and their companions anticipated:
The Crown will be revisiting an old place they had forgotten about, and learn more about the scars left on the land from the reigns of Crowns past
Whether you brought the water spirits with you or whether Eshkar is also there or not will give you additional variations and, depending on one choice you make this chapter, may lead to someone getting hurt
There will be more lore on the religious practices of Arsur, and an opportunity to customize your Crown's religious beliefs as well
A dangerous encounter shakes things up this chapter--is it a test of the spirits, or just bad luck? Either way, how your Crown handles this situation will not go unnoticed!
And last but not least, romance scenes with your chosen love interest, though the tone of these will be quite different considering the previous encounter...
Thank you for all your patience and support, I hope you enjoy the new chapter as summer approaches 💖
For those that are unfamiliar with the game
A Tale of Crowns is a high fantasy romance story, told in the form of a text-based interactive novel with choice mechanics. The setting is inspired by Kurdish culture as well as other historical settings in the Middle East such as Ancient Persia, but it also draws heavily from other cultures and countries in the region.
Your character is native to Arsur, a vast empire overseen by a single ruler known as the Crown. Unlike traditional monarchies, however, the title is not inherited through blood. Whenever the Crown dies, their famed golden eyes pass on to the one chosen by the Spirits of this world to be the new Crown. In this story, your MC takes on that role.
There are four different love interests to choose from, whose genders will be customized to suit the preferences of your Crown. You can find more info about them on the blog page!
Also note that this current version of the game is safe for those 16 years and older.

Jazzy I miss too but I liked that she’s the one who is home and is doing other things in life. When she finally actually has time for the MC(this isn’t shade ti jazzy) she gives the MC and outside perspective. And if we know how stories go, there’s going to be a lot of turmoil and a lot of issues, especially on any of the routes, but especially on the Homebreaker route where the trouple route or even the seven route jazzy is going to be the one who is going to be their solace and also the one of voice of reason 
amy i mean this with love but the fact that ur characters have their ringers set to full blast and not vibrate kills me why are they so boomer coded 😭
LMAO it’s actually so funny because I am a DND 24/7 person and it gets me in trouble all the time so maybe that’s why my characters always have their phones on lolol
but to give you an in-universe answer: they’re all traveling and they miss their personal lives/fam so they make sure not to miss a call 😭 they work so much that when they have the time and space to call they def can’t squander the opportunity !
idk if I’ve ever written someone taking a call in the middle of a scene but if so that has to be #changed because they’re def not allowed to have their phones sound off during filming
The cast of BotB season four has touched down in a new state: Ohio! That's right—they're infiltrated G's backyard (and maybe someone else's?) Unfortunately, the rockstar isn't happy about this development considering the people who have decided to show their faces here. Meanwhile certain rumors are tainting the BOTB brand while the home lives of the ROs are starting to creep up on them. Will there even be a tour? Who knows?
As usual, MC remains in the center of it all. Their plans for their future comes into question when they're forced with new faces and possibilities. That is…if they even have a career by the end of this. For some MCs they should probably keep in mind to think with their head and not their…you know!
Hi! It's been a long time coming but I'm excited to share the Chapter 5 alpha demo! Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm :) Please read until the end. Without fail I get questions that are answered in this post almost immediately after publishing it aha
I'm calling it an alpha demo because, and not to get all sad and lame, after the death of my family member I did not feel like adding more to my plate (aka beta testers). Writing took up much of my time already and it just hasn't been the right time to include other people into the process. Of course, that must change, and I will be getting beta testers soon now that the alpha is out. As always, the chapters are subject to change and improve as time goes on.
So with that said if there are errors im all ears! I will try to be as timely as possible.
NOTE: if you're band tier sub from late march to april expired, please send me a message so I can send you my email and send the demo. In the email be sure to add your email, subscription tier and proof! *If not proof then I can use your email to search it up!* Band tiers will get it immediately + fan tiers will be put on a list to get it in May!
I want to kill myself guys. I’m so tired of living life. I know I say that so often no one believes me but honestly I am so tired of living this life. I’m so tired of this
