'I find it really ironic and hilarious that Choices's main target audience is straight/wlm women, yet their sexualized portrayals of the male characters are really low-effort compared to that of female characters. Female characters consistently get crop tops, short shorts, etc. while the most revealing outfit a male character gets is occasionally being shirtless. 90% of male MCs and LIs have boring plain boxer briefs while female characters always get cutesy lacy bras and panties. I can't stand what they try to push as the "sexy underwear" for the male TRR LIs, it's literally just patterned boxer briefs. Meanwhile Hana and MC get stuff that actually looks like lingerie. And do not even get me started on the swimsuits. It's honestly kind of insulting that they do swimsuit reveal scenes clearly for the sake of eyecandy, but male LIs (except Drake and Liam) always get swimtrunks while female LIs always get bikinis or onepieces with hip cutouts. I swear, it's like PB thinks all they have to do to make men sexy is show the abs and muscles. What, men's hips and thighs? PB has never heard of that! Imagine if Hana got a flimsy nightgown while the male LIs got sets of thongs, jock straps, lace undies, and thigh high stockings. Or if male LIs always got speedos and g-strings for swimsuits while female LIs always just got tankinis and swim shorts. I know this sounds nitpicky and petty, but it's just really annoying. PB, give us sexy outfit equality dammit!'

Some of the love interests from Choices that are just my type...
and that I wish were real–
(ik Olivia is not a LI, let me pretend she is, 'cause if she was I would have chosen her. Same goes for Lena)

{it might sound very stupid, but one of the reasons why I don't curl up into a ball and cry because of my nonexistent love life is because they somehow fill the void}

Thank you for tagging me ("twice" 😂) in this game, @jerzwriter! Here's the list of the Choices LIs I romanced.. There aren't really that many I spent diamonds on, though..
AME - the best LI in the best Choices book (and the only GOC book I read with a female MC), Mackenzie Harris! I also want replay with Derek as the LI, but can't decide whether to stick with my MC for that.. The dílemma! 😫😂
Big Sky Country - Sawyer Oakley. But I really want to reread the series with Dallas as LI..
Blades - started with Mal, ended up with Tyril (I just thought it worked better since my MC is an M!Elf as well.. 🤷‍♀️). But all the LIs in the book are great!
Bloodbound - Kamilah for the most part and I did the 35 💎 scene with Jax and Adrian at the Parisian club.. 😏 But I wasn't really spending diamonds on the series and I still have a few chapters left to read (which I still haven't gathered strength to do after reading what happens at the end.. 😫)
A Courtesan of Rome - Cassius!! And I loved Sabina as well. Though I was only diamond mining the book, so tough to say..
Desire and Decorum - Luke Harper! But I really wanted to romance prince Hamid as well! Before that I also did a Miss Parsons and Mr. Sinclaire routes (without spending diamonds on the romance scenes). All the LIs in this book are great though.. whether you romance them or not.
Distant Shores - Edward and Oliver. But again, I wasn't spending diamonds on the book..
The Elementalists - Beckett Harrington. I loved the book 1 diamond scenes, I remember I thought the ones in book 2 were pretty boring, but it's been a while since I read it..
Foreign Affairs - my M!MC romanced M!Hispanic!Blaine, my F!MC romanced Tatum and I don't even remember who my NB!MC romanced.. 😅 I've finally given up on the book (and almost the whole app) by chapter 12, so it doesn't really matter..
The Heist: Monaco - Fabien
Hero - Grayson and Kenji the second time I read it
HSS: Class Act - my M!MC romanced romanced M!Rory and my F!MC romanced Skye.. But once again I wasn't spending diamonds on the book..
Hot Couture - Marco and Luz.. Again, I wasn't spending diamonds on either. But it is actually on my list of books I want to reread properly sometime..
It Lives Beneath - Parker! Guess it was the right call to blow all my diamonds on this book, otherwise I'd be very unpleasantly surprised later.. 🤭😂
LoveHacks - Ben Park.. As per usual, no diamonds spent on the series..
Mother of the Year - Eiko. No diamonds spent, but I'm thinking of rereading it properly since everyone seems to love the book so much..
Nightbound - Nik, but I still haven't finished the book..
Open Heart - Bryce, Bryce and only Bryce. The OBVIOUS choice and easily the best Choices LI. And I also did a full Jackie route with her as the sole LI (still have to finish book 3, but Jackie gets what? 4 scenes in that? 🤦‍♀️). I also did the other routes as well with MC romancing everyone in book 1 and only sticking with one from book 2 onward (well, then there's Vegas.. 😁).
Perfect Match - Damien, but I still have to finish this one too..
Platinum - F!Avery at first, then switched to F!Raleigh.. But haven't spent diamonds on either.. But I might replay this one as well..
Red Carpet Diaries - Thomas Hunt
Ride-or-Die - Mona, I'm actually not sure if I spent diamonds on this one (maybe one scene?)
The Royal Masquerade - F!Kayden, no diamonds spent..
TRR - the first time I played I've given up hope that Maxwell was an LI by the time Drake confessed his feelings for MC after he "saved MC from Tariq" and because I'm weak, I couldn't turn him down after that.. 😅 After I found out that Maxwell actually was an LI during the UN rooftop scene, I started his route on another device.. I also romanced Hana for a bit in book 1. But I've given up on the series at chapter 12 of The Royal Heir I believe..
RoE - I romanced all the LIs in that I believe, but Leo was the main LI.. I spent some diamonds on the series but none on the romance scenes..
Save the Date - Lindsay and, yes, one of the most hated LIs - Justin.. 😅 I only bought that finale diamond scene (and I don't even remember what happened in it, lol.
Veil of Secrets - Flynn O'Malley (you can't tell me that they didn't base him on Ian Sommerhalder, lol). Again, didn't spend diamonds.. My MC left town at the end.. But I'll definitely replay and fix my mistake, lol.
Wake the Dead - my man Troy of course! Worth every diamond!
Wishful Thinking - Anna Koishi
Phew, that was longer than I thought it would be... 😅
I don't wanna bother anyone by tagging them, but hopefully you guys won't mind.. I'd love to read your list of LIs! (sorry if you were already tagged by somebody else)

Man “Battle Nexus: New York” was a great episode but I do have one major gripe with it.
Like. Raph being paired up with Ghostbear? Makes sense. Works great. Works amazing, even.
Mikey being paired up with Meatsweats? Yeah that checks out!!
Donnie getting…Hypno…? I mean. I guess Donnie doesn’t like magic so it kindaaa works but Kendra would have been a much better choice to me personally. Maybe Big Mama didn’t wanna include a human or something…
And Leo getting…uh…one of the Sando Brothers???? Of all villains? Nah let’s be real, his main villain is more Big Mama herself (or Leo could be considered his own worst enemy lmao-). Hell Hypno would have probably worked better here considering their shared love for magic tricks and stuff, but Carl Sando????

The writers I think mostly completely by accident with the assistance of James charming his way into becoming a main character created the perfect storm to ensure people who love spike would reach absolute peak levels of being completely obsessively deranged about him forever
Season 2:
He’s a punk rock villain with killer cheekbones, enchanting eyes, and an absolutely DEVILISH smile - who’s an incredibly dedicated and dangerous fighter who specifically seeks out challenging fights he’s not guaranteed to win (brave and reckless - normally traits seen in heroes) hates everyone except his mentally ill physically sick wife (the statistics of men who leave their wives when they get sick in the US is horrifying like nurses literally have to warn married women who get sick it happens so often) who he’s hopelessly devoted to and unbelievably soft with and always listens to her while also exuding a psychotic amount of sex appeal and is just F U N he loves being a vampire and he loves fighting and it makes it so much fun for the audience. While still showing how much he respects and admires his enemy for her skill, strength, resourcefulness, and intelligence - NEVER underestimating her just because she’s a tiny blonde girl - and instead of destroying the world for love he SAVES the world for love - a villain doing good to get the love of his life back who essentially dumped him for her ex????????? D E V O T E D and shockingly extremely trustworthy??? And has amazing chemistry with our heroine and is there for a pivotal moment in her life and is the only one there for her when she has no one else????? *enemies to lovers girlies ENTER THE CHAT*
Season 3:
He shows he fucking MEANS IT when he says Dru is the love of his life when he shows up in Sunnydale because he blames Angel not Buffy or Drusilla but the man actually responsible for all their problems and he is the most pathetic mess we’ve ever SEEN!!!! He’s crying and drunk all the time and he’s so sad he goes to Buffy’s mom TO TALK 💀😭 our pathetic sensitive little self admitted lover boy who KNOWS he’s love’s bitch and he won’t be pretending he’s anything otherwise who shows how clearly he sees and understands other people and the depths of his emotional intelligence so much so Buffy herself admits she can’t fool Spike she can fool her friends BUT NOT SPIKE OR HERSELF EXCUSE ME MA’AM WHAT???????
AND Spike doesn’t just uselessly MOPE forever he gets some perspective and is like I know what I’m gonna do to her back and I’m gonna go do that now! 😁👍🏻 showing he never stays down for long and is always gonna get back up to keep fighting for his love while BOTH he and Buffy still honor the truce even though he’s broken it by coming back??? While Buffy’s all “I violently dislike you” YEAH OK GIRL WHATEVER YOU SAY *enemies to lovers girlies chomping at the bit intensifies*
Season 4:
CLEARLY heartbroken about Drusilla (DEVOTED!!!) but it’s turned into anger and resentment directed at Harmony who how bizarre looks nothing like Drusilla but A LOT like Buffy…… hmmmmmmmmmmmmm HOW INTERESTING *enemies to lovers girlies are vibrating with anticipation that turns into a full blown combustion when something blue happens*
Spike doesn’t pretend to love Harmony in order to get what he wants from her (shown in direct contrast to Parker) he’s ironically very honest despite being a villain - he’s showing he’s STILL loyal to Drusilla in ONLY loving her even after she’s dumped him... again!
We see Spike treat Buffy the EXACT same way he treated Drusilla during something blue reaffirming THIS IS HOW THIS MAN LOVES WHEN HE LOVES YOU. He’s extremely affectionate, helpful, protective, caring - D E V O T E D - and is truly just the most certified lover boy we’ve ever fucking seen
Season 5:
SURPRISE HE’S SECRETLY A LOVESICK MAMA’S BOY POET AT HEART UNDERNEATH THE BAD BOY PERSONA AND A PROTECTIVE BIG BROTHER AND NOW BUFFY AND HER FAMILY’S MOST LOYAL DEFENDER AND IS WILLING TO DIE NOT JUST FOR BUFFY BUT FOR ALL THE SUMMERS WOMEN AND HE KNOWS AND SEES BUFFY SO DEEPLY AND INTIMATELY AND CAN HOLD SPACE FOR HER PAIN LIKE NO ON ELSE CAN AND SHOWS THE DEVOTION THAT ONCE BELONGED TO DRUSILLA NOW BELONGS TO BUFFY AND IT IS GOING NOWHERE EVEN WHEN SHE DIES AND WE'VE SEEN IN HIM CRY BEFORE BUT NEVER HAVE WE SEEN HIM BREAK DOWN LIKE HE DOES AT THE SIGHT OF BUFFY'S BODY!!!!!!!!!!!
*all of us screaming, crying, throwing up, climbing the walls and generally just losing our minds*
Season 6:
No soul, his love is so great for Buffy as is his loyalty and devotion to her, he now helps all of his dead love’s friends fight evil and is raising her sister and dreams of saving her every night for 148 nights 🤚🏻😭 don’t even fucking talk to me I can’t take it
Forgive the absolute 180 in tone change here:
Dick game is FIRE - his touch is the only thing that makes Buffy feel alive AND SHE WAS IN HEAVEN BRO SHE KNOWS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE IN HEAVEN AND SPIKE IS THE ONLY THING KEEPING HER GOING like damn girl yes YOU FUCK THAT HOUSE DOWN!!! Also he is now just naked 50% of the time just to drive us all even FURTHER out of our minds and somehow has just gotten even hotter as the seasons have gone on like this is what’s been hiding under the leather jacket all this time! Enjoy!
And THE MOST unintended consequence of jw’s vindictive writing:
SPITE
He clearly didn’t want us to love Spike and tried to manipulate us into hating him in such a blatant and clumsy ooc attempt all that did was weed out the weakest amongst the Spuffy/Spike fans until all that remained were us:
The most devoted and stubborn fans who REFUSED to have the thing they loved ruined or taken away from us and were smart enough to see through his bullshit manipulation attempt in the first place.
Genuinely they created the equivalent of supersoilder strength level fans with this absolutely lethal combination of events 💀
AND THEN as if all that wasn't enough he goes and gets his soul on purpose for Buffy so he can be the man she deserves and she can love him without hating herself for loving him despite the immense pain it will cause him which is the most selfless thing we have ever seen anyone do for Buffy only to be topped when he sacrifices himself to destroy the hellmouth, save the world and free her from Sunnydale!!! Plus ya know once he gets the soul even though he did it for her he never tries to use that as leverage to get anything from her like he truly expects nothing from her at all but still wants to help her and James delivers the most devastating performances we've ever fucking seen, finally tells her friends off which has needed to happen for 5 seasons, the "you're the one speech" him being a dad to all the potentials with Buffy giving us supernatural parent core who made it through their rough patch with their first kid in season 6 with Dawn and now are just the beautiful team with their found family and Buffy finally has someone who can truly carry her burdens with her and just all the tenderness and devotion they both deserve after so many years of pain and fighting. Basically giving the audience the message that even if you have a metric ton of pain and trauma there are people out there who see you and understand you and there is a chance for you to heal both together and separately to build your own version of a more normal and stable life. It's a message of such hope and I personally know several people, including myself who watched what Spike and Buffy have and it inspired us to look at the relationships we were in and realize we deserved SO MUCH MORE than what we were getting and in my case it turned out I was being emotionally abused and manipulated that entire time!! Much like Buffy was by both Riley and Angel. So it isn't an exaggeration to say Spuffy saved my life in a lot of ways both in being there for me at such a dark time and helping me draw a map of how to get out. Not to mention loving them in fandom spaces has helped me connect with so many people just like me who share very similar experiences and have helped me feel so much less alone and has helped me heal in so many ways 🖤
Spuffies get "hOw cAn yOu liKe sPiKe aFtEr wHaT hE dId" all the fucking time and truly the better question is how can you NOT like Spike???? HAVE YOU BEEN PAYING ATTENTION AT ALL??? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT GOOD RELATIONSHIPS NEED TO WORK?? BECAUSE AT THEIR CORE SPUFFY HAS THEM ALL!
It's jw writing so NOTHING will escape his toxic bullshit but Spike - because he was hated by jw for so long - so much of the time when he tried to make Spike less popular he just kept making him better and more complex and more and more targeted to the female gaze which is exactly why he snapped and made the choices he literally forced everyone else to go along with despite their protests with that scene to make it the most traumatizing scene in all of Buffy history not just for the audience but for the actors as well because yes it is incredibly horrific and upsetting to watch (which is why I skip it on rewatches) but I still am able to see if for what it is which is a narcissist lashing out at people he hates because he hasn't been able to control them and too bad for him I refuse to be manipulated by his bullshit so it failed completely and made so many of us that much more stubbornly protective of Spike and his and Buffy's relationship not just from other fans but from the creator himself 🙃🖕🏻like he basically just trauma bonded us to Spike and Buffy which has led to the creation of one of the most devoted, loyal, intelligent fanbases who is absolutely unhinged (affectionate) with their love of this character and his relationship which is why we are all still creating and writing about this character 25 year later and show absolutely zero signs of slowing down or stopping 💀

very interested in how the storyline of ronan's sexuality is developed in the dream thieves as a battle between kavinsky and gansey while adam is almost never present in these scenes, which makes it even more interesting that we found out in CDTH that ronan was set on adam the moment he saw him. i think that ronan is attracted on some level to both gansey and kavinsky (you can draw the lines of how much romantic intention you think he hold towards either of the yourself, that's a rabbit hole I would need a whole other post to go down) but more so I think he was attracted to the IDEA of both of them and certain qualities that each possessed, and that the real question wasn't does ronan want gansey or kavinsky because we know he wants adam but rather who's qualities resonate more with who ronan is, or who he is choosing to be at this critical moment in his character development. kavinsky is a dangerous thrill and often comes wrapped in ronan's other favorite self destructive attempts to outrun himself, while gansey is ronan's history and proof of his deep capacities for loyalty and love. he tells kavinsky it was never going to be me and you and that it's not going to be ronan and gansey because that was never the question- maggie was obviously always planning on bluesy and pynch. the answer to who ronan WANTS in adam. the question of who ronan IS- that's what he's trying to decide here. his self hatred is such a heavy weight on him and theme in tdt, and the kavinsky/gansey dichotomy represents the the path he will choose to take to deal with it- keep try to drive faster than his demons or accept that he can still be loved even if he isn't the person he once was. the dream thieves my beloved ronan lynch my beloved

Redditors being like “The Duffers did Mleven so dirty in s3/4… how would you fix it?” …. “I would have El compliment Mike on literally anything,” “I would have them listen to each other,” “I would have them communicate so they end up on the same page after they fight,” “I would have them actually look interested in each other,” “I would have them team up for the season.”
Besties, you’re literally just describing byler.
