I miss being excited for Choices books :(
THE ROYAL WHATEVER IS STILL GOING?!?!

POST/CONFESSIONS DO NOT REFLECT THE MOD’S PERSONAL OPINIONS!
Y’all see the issue right??
ngl I'm fucking curious how is Evelyn passing for black!f!Blaine. I don't think it was that dark? and Evelyn is, noticeably lighter?
children of parents who don’t respect their privacy and go through their things reading Foreign Affairs and having it hit a little too close to home
why don't you trust winston?
because he's the perfect person to betray us without giving himself away.
forget the mc for a sec, winston has the mc's mother's trust to the point where he can advise her and sometimes even decide things for her.. for example where he tells the mum to let mc go after the fight and the mum listens.
& then the mc too.. the mc trusts winston and never doubts that winston would have their worst interest in mind. not to mention winston knows all state secrets and also personal secrets too like how to exploit the president and her child's sorta fragile relationship.
also today's chapter, not him saying he made sure the reporter lady at the animal shelter wouldn't talk about the scandal and then she does exactly that. and of course winston just "didn't know" that would happen.
of course he could just be a red herring and literally anyone could be the betrayer but who wants to bet that winston's someone from adorna who hates rutherland? no? just me? ok.
If you’re playing with a non-binary MC like I am, it’s doubly awful for MC to get their topless photo leaked. Like I can imagine all the columnists misgendering them already.
Today I had a dream
The only thing I remember is having a new book and being able to separately choose pronouns and “male/female body type”
I was scrolling through my old posts and yeehaw?!?!
List of the most sidelined / horribly treated LIs in Choices.
This is the first time I'm writing something like this so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'll Highly appreciate it :).
Also I have not played all the books so I might edit this in future with more LIs
1.BLOODBOUND :- Lily Spencer.
One of the most amazing characters that PB has created but was never appreciated enough by them. She never got a book cover (book 2 had all the LIs except her). Was killed in the end (jax died in mine but for the players where lily died.. She died protecting her BFF). We got to know about Adrian's, Kamilah's and Jax's past but never Lily (except for the fact that she had a gf ).
2. MTFL :- Ava Lawrence
It doesn't really take an Einstein to guess this one, right? The way PB treated her made me wonder if she was ever meant to be an LI . Here are a few reasons:-
Her character sprites were reused
Was given Reused hairstyles.
Her clothes were either Reused or no effort was put into her clothes
Wasn't even an LI for more than half of the book.
Was never given a proper art work.
Least number of diamond scenes.
Do I need to say anything else?
3. Desire and Decorum
Now D&D is one of my favourite books of all time and even if my LI was Mr. Sinclaire I'll have to agree that he was the favoured LI. He got 2 out of 3 book covers. We got to know all about his past, his ex wife, broken marriage and rivalry with the duke in book 1. Book 3 was all about Gideon, Percival and his pistol. I Would have Loved some character Development for other LIs.
We got to meet Mr. Harper's brother in book 3.
We met Prince Hamid's mother in Book 3.
We met Anabelle's family in book 3.
If I am not wrong only Sinclaire was a playable character (I am not sure tho).
These 3 were not exactly sidelined, but definitely deserved more.
4. Open Heart :- Rafael Aveiro
One of the most controversial books with a toxic fandom (almost.. There are good people too!). He was almost killed by PB, do I need to say anything else? Killing an LI, on whom people have invested their diamonds and even real money. Although Ethan is the main LI (as treated by the writers), Rafael was extremely sidelined even among the rest 3.
5. Queen B - Zoey Wade
Treated as the all time BFF walking wardrobe, Zoey deserved better. The main LI was of course Ian/Ina, and Zoey stans never got their content. And then the Human Sacrifice. I can't believe people still want Poppy to become an LI after that scene. Even when she was insulted in the party, PB gave us the option to blame her. LIKE SERIOUSLY? She was the one who got humiliated infront of the entire school, and MC has got no right to blame her. Thank god she got that beautiful artwork otherwise I would have lost it.
6.Platinum - Shane Parker
People were so happy with gender customizable LIs that Shane was not given enough attention between Avery and Raleigh. PB even made us choose between him and some function/award Show ( I Don't really remember lol. I read that book long back). For people who were romancing multiple LIs at the same time, this was a problem .
Most of these LIs are female or are black/coloured. I think it's high time PB comes out of this homophobia and racism and gives all LIs equal screen times. Let's celebrate every Individual, every character , for every character is unique and has it's own story. People have different interests, and it's highly unfair to discriminate / sideline people just because of their preferences.
Feel free to share your thoughts, or add on to list an LI you think was sidelined. I will edit this in future when I read more books.
Lots of love💕
I can feel the romance subplot between Dionne and uh. what's his name. the Ulmeria prince. the "youngest prince" one. you know exactly what kind of subplot I'm taking about.
If you’re playing Foreign Affairs today, and feel comfortable doing so, consider choosing they / them even if those aren’t your usual pronouns.
The more interest Pixelberry sees — especially from players who buy diamonds — the more likely they are to provide this option for non-binary players in the future!
The map is very cute but now I want to know where MC's Rutherland is.
They have this big rivalry with Ardona but don't share any borders and aren't even on the same land mass.
A land mass where each country's leaders had a child in exactly the same year, apparently.
Also if Ithanstan is known for its dogs then Evelyn is becoming my best friend STAT.
pretty sure this map only shows our neighbors, to see which ones we got diplomacy level ups with
i realized why i give more of a shit when it comes to lovestruck's romance and stories rather than choices. its bc lovestruck has interesting and different type of dynamics between the mc and the li while in choices, most of their romance books have the mc and li immediately like each other and start flirting. most of the main lis are always the same type of person, nice, caring, flirty. sometimes they change it up and make the li and mc not get along at first but its all very basic. im a choices fan and have been for four years and im not bashing them for this, if it works and ur customers like it go ahead. im saying that lovestruck takes more risks and puts out more interesting dynamics and different progressions of the relationship. sometimes in lovestruck a relationship takes trust and time to start blooming and not blunt flirtation in the first episode. sometimes its a wild romance where they kiss in the first ten minutes of meeting and then navigate through the difficulties of being together. and the angst is what makes it for me. the desperation to be with someone but not being able with them or get close to them bc of your situation hits very hard and is just so much more interesting.
im not saying that choices has not done things like this before but the way most of their relationships progress is just so fucking boring to me. again this is not a critique im just pointing out what i like ab lovestruck that choices just lacks for me.
I am begging. foreign affairs. please. please be good. p l e a s e.
