Unfortunately he’s a sub ro whose route will more likely than not end badly for the mc and since he is a sub ro mc can do fuck all to influence anything, not that it seems mc can do much to with the main ro’s either.

I’ll note that apparently subRO’s have like 2 different endings (each, obviously), which run dependent on 2-3 choices you can make, the process is just less… shapeable than full ROs.
Fuck me if I can find that ask again, though.

Let me know if you find it. I’ll see if I can find it in my archive of Amy’s tumblr.
Playing through it again, I realize one reason I love Blake so much now: he’s Mason with a brain…

Tumblr is shit software that eats search results for no fucking reason whatsoever, but I took a talent at level up that adds my Spite modifier to my Resolve stat, so I’m pretty much unbeatable:

I just read Blake’s short. It was much better than seven’s, but that’s no surprise lol, however i still preferred G’s.
Idk maybe i just like the whole “sneaking around behind significant others back” trope 
which is weird bc in rl i hate cheating & have been with my partner eons lmao
Also Amy keeps putting sweets in her short stories and it’s annoying bc it’s making me hungry every time

The skittles thing was too damned cute.
I loved G’s, too, but the complication in Blake’s (can’t tell because of your band hating them, them hating your band, and probably ruining the tour for both of you) is less squicky. Plus, I love Blake’s unfettered honesty, and the fact that they don’t sugarcoat anything, but aren’t afraid to say how they feel. It’s just… it gets me. That’s totally my jam. And, if you didn’t pick the one choice about sneaking around and not caring about the tour… choose it. I just choked, hard.
But yeah, every Valentine’s short was better than Seven’s, lol. This one just blew it totally out of the water and left a bloody splotch where it used to be, though.

well. Blake’s definitely my favorite RO now. what the hell that short was so cute. i would like to apologize to G who is now my second favorite RO. after blake of all people lol.
i’m not gonna lie, half the reason why i like G so much is bc they’re married lol. i do like a little fictional cheating sometimes, i will admit… which is funny bc irl i hate cheating so much i actually cut ppl off for cheating on their partner lol

the blake short honestly knocked 7 out for my fave short so far. if they were a full RO i think they might even knock 7 out of top ROs lol, that was such a good look into blake ughhhhh and so many screenshottable lines to obsess over too

Yeah see that’s where i have a problem with me, i love stories (books or IFs) where the couple has drama or sneaking about or just chaos…and then if they send up together and everything is all perfect I’m like “oh. okay.”
Lmao I just get so bored reading where everything is hunky-dory. That’s gonna be hard for me in the later chapters as Amy said we will experience the RO’s being in a relationship with your mc.
I don’t want G to leave Victoria for my mc!!…i just want have an affair with him and then have Jamie win BOTB and take over the world

It’s good to have attainable goals like that. 
My G-mancer wants G. All of him. But also wants Victoria to be happy… just away from G, lol.
That said, after seeing Blake’s short, my G-mancer may go for Blake and leave me to create a different MC for G.
I don’t get bored reading it, but I do tend to like it when the drama comes from outside the relationship, rather from your MC’s LI shitting in their face constantly and playing kickball with their heart for amusement.
I think that’s why I want to try G’s, as icky as it the cheating aspect is: the drama is mostly due to G’s situation as being married, not that G hates the MC, wants to hate the MC, or feels the need to shove them away to hurt the MC and protect themself from feelings or whatever. Basically, what I’m saying is that the drama in G’s path is understandable and doesn’t feel forced, weird, or abusive. If your MC walks into a hornets’ nest, they should expect to get stung.
Blake is the same–the drama is with the show and your stupid friends/band. Blake knows how they feel and goes with it. Even if you get in a relationship, that outside drama will be there. Of course, I’d tell the band to go fuck themselves if they don’t like it. “Oh, you don’t like my choice for partner? Tough shit.”

No reason why she couldn’t be happy or even be on amicable or even friendly terms with the mc by the end as their marriage is clearly not working right now and is more of a business arrangement than an actual marriage.
Of course the media sees things differently and they will likely always make the mc the villain of the whole thing, no matter the actual truth, particularly if G publicly ends up together with the mc.

I find Blake less interesting when they’re caring, tbh. Give me the hate-flirting, please.

Admittedly, I am one of the main Seven’s masochists out there but this Blake short really slapped me in the face with the feels
Just read the Blake short and nearly pissed myself. That was a pleasant surprise. I didn’t think that the character I actively disliked would get bumped up to my favourites just like that💀

Nah fr. That short was criminally adorable. Also had the right amount of angst with the career or mc thing.
