I kinda feel bad abandoning The Elementalists completely because I know there were a few people who were looking forward to it so I've come up with an idea for a mini book club.
Choices is currently hosting a binge reading event that will continue through April 4, so if you are looking to play TE2 and earn some rewards, the next 4 days are perfect for that.
I'm keeping the book club open a week through April 8 which is the day of the Total Solar Eclipse (of which, 🤞 I will be traveling to see the totality!) and that event kinda felt fitting to close this book club.
Basically read at your own pace over the next week. Tag @choicesbookclub and #choices book club in whatever content you want related to TE2 (screenshots, fics, art, songs, moodboards, etc) and I will reblog it!
I am not planning to do any chapter specific questions or polls however, should I have time to throw some random polls up throughout the week I will.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or concerns. This was a quick last minute thought and I hope that some people will enjoy this mini book club!
Meet our TE MCs:
If you have a profile page for your MC, feel free to send it to me so I can add it to our directory.
I can't have a single moment of peace playing The Elementalists, knowing there won't be any updates or sequels for it once I finish all three books like
WHEN ELSE CAN I HAVE MOMENTS LIKE THESE WITH BECKETT “I KNOW HOW TO TANGO” HARRINGTON, CHOICES? WHEN?
Okay so, this is a bit of long shot but I'm planning on starting a fanmade project for TE. It's my favorite choices story and there's still so much you can do with it.
I'm currently figuring out how to use Ren'py right now and watching videos and what not to figure out how to do this. I'm pretty new to all this but I think it'd be a fun project.
I'm probably gonna do some of the writing like the plot and Shreya's route (best girl) and also as I said I'm figuring out the coding as well.
But I'm definitely gonna need some help on this. I know others have expressed interest in a 3rd book and now is your chance if you're willing to help. Again it's fanmade and we're not making money off of this, this is just for fun and you can bail at any time.
I'll be making a discord once I start to get some interest in this so the link will be up at some point but if you're interested, just comment saying you'd like to help and what you'll be able to provide for this project.
Co-runner- I'm gonna need someone to help me run this project, help me keep the thing running and I'm a bit of an idiot so I'll be coming to you if I need help with anything. You'll be the Atlas to my MC lmao.
Artist- If you're a good drawer or you just love to draw and wanna help out on this project, we'd love to have you. I'm thinking we'll need some new characters for the plot and if you want, maybe some new backgrounds too (or we could just pick ones from the multiple backgrounds choices already has)
Writer- I'm a lesbian and obsessed with Shreya so I don't really have any idea about the other routes. But I know a lot of people are obsessed with like Beckett and the other love interests so anyone willing to help work on the different routes would be great. Not to mention the plot of the book, the adventures the pend pals could be getting into and side stuff like your relationship with your mom and the villains and such.
Coders- Like any great game, we'd need people who can code or wanna try it out like I'm currently doing. I've always heard Ren'py is good for that stuff and that's what the ILW crew used and that's what I'm currently learning right now so if you wanna try it out or already know how, we'd appreciate the help.
And of course, if you just wanna help out, you can join and I'll figure something out for you to do. My work schedule is kind of whack right now so this week we probably won't be getting anything done unfortunately (maybe Thursday or Friday if I have people and what not) but hopefully the week after, i'll have things figured out.
Last but not least, my idea for how I think the plot should go-
The gang is back for their next year of school
MC, Shreya, Zeph, Beckett- Juniors
Griffin- Senior
Aster, Atlas- Sophomores
But just like always, the school year is never simple for them.
The High Attuned has been watching over the school and visiting more frequently, keeping an eye on you and Atlas.
Zeph is having trouble with Thief captain as much as he hates to admit it.
Griffin is having parent troubles after they found out about his interest in Natural disaster field work instead of being a professional Thief player.
Shreya has hired an assistant to help with Serene and Sublime, though the assistant keeps messing things up and causing Shreya to lose customers, important ones at that.
With Beckett's urge to please his professors, he works himself too much to the point he begins to experience burnout and freaks out over the smallest things resulting in him pushing his friends away.
Aster is having trouble running the shop and keeping up with her studies and she's worried she might have to close it down.
Atlas is happy to catch up on lost time with their mom but when their mom becomes a professor for the school, Atlas isn't exactly sure how to feel about it and starts to lash out on Theia, resulting in the MC to have to try and fix the relationship.
MC does their best to help everyone with their problems but begins to have problems of their own when the school recruits another sun-att who does everything in their power to one up MC in every way.
Of course, it's just a rough draft of how I think the year should go, but we could always change stuff around if people have better ideas. Also, of course, there will be new spells to learn like in the other books and I was also thinking like...was I the only one that shipped Dean Swan and Theia together? Like Dean Swan already acts like a mother figure to the twins. And some of the sources will be back like Gemma and I really wanted to incorporate the High Attuned because we got like two minutes of information about them and then nothing ever again.
So yeah, this is super long and we can talk more on the discord but if you're interested just tell me what you wanna do.
IMPORTANT NOTE - THE BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK IN IMAGE EIGHT IS NOT MINE. ALL CREDITS OF THE ART GO TO @888vampires ON INSTAGRAM
A/N: Hey guys I’m back on my elementalists brainrot!! So I know that there’s some difference in my headcanons again - like that my mc (Anna) makes art and posts it on social media as a hobby and that she’s a double major (idk what subjects yet). And Atlas grew up in a Slavic country (I’m thinking the Czech Republic) but making little stories about them is part of my livelihood now! Yes, these are purposefully set in 2020 (no covid in this au ofc) because I wanted this thread in particular to be set when they just started their junior year. These were really fun to make! I know that I have a horrendous track record when it comes to making a series so I’m probably won’t make a twitter AU one but I might do more! Please tell me if you enjoyed this and would like to see more! Reblogs and like really help out and comments make my day!
I know it's not realistic to happen but in a hypothetical fan fiction crossover which Elementalists character would you most like to see join the Nightbound crew for a one-off adventure?
I would say Griffin first of all! I love him and I think he would for sure get along with our friends in NOLA!
If not Griffin then perhaps Aster!
While we shouldn't expect to have any actual crossovers from TE in Return to Lamrian, don't be surprised if we see some assets reused!
This Book Club is open to ANYONE and EVERYONE. You can participate as much or as little as you want.
Our playthrough of The Elementalists Book 1 will take place on Saturdays with posts going up around noon EST. However, late entries are more than welcome if you are unable to play on Friday. [Learn how to participate here]
Meet our TE MCs:
If you have a profile page for your MC, feel free to send it to me so I can add it to our directory.
Reading Schedule:
Saturdays beginning January 20
We will start with 2 chapters a week, after 2 weeks, I'll put up a new poll to see if this pace is still working or if we want to switch to 1 chapter a week or even alternate between 1 and 2 chapters every other week.
Each week, I'll try to include questions, polls, or prompts to inspire some discussion. Feel free to send suggestions if you have something you want to see!
I don't know if anyone has pointed this out or not but hear me out
beckett: metal
shreya: fire
zeph: water
griffin: earth
aster: wood
atlas: moon
mc/eli: sun and [blank]
all of the characters have different attunements that they prefer, right? so based on the patterns here, mc should technically be sun and air attuned, since that's the only element missing from the other main characters. unless you count kane, I guess? but for obvious reasons that I won't name, you can't really count him.
Note: pictures are from Pinterest, idk these people, they just vaguely look like/represent the Pend Pals and others. Also excuse the spelling mistakes.
Other note for context: Elise on a trip with the Harringtons in summer.
