What If Choices' Race-customizable LIs Had Surnames Reflective Of Their Ethnicity?: An Experiment Just For FUn (Part 1/3)

As we're probably all aware, Choices has been going ham on their formula of "one LI whose appearance is choosable" for the past few years (ever since they started drawing criticism for narratively favoring white male LIs, i.e., when the Ramsey bubble finally burst; draw your own conclusions), and these LIs almost always have canon names or default names associated with white Anglo Americans. This is one of several reasons these LIs are described by players as "white-coded", or written as if they are white men with any changes reduced to a one-line afterthought, which kind of nullifies the point of romancing an LI of color.

Getaway Girls impressed me with branching that gave two of the six Jordan appearance options (the ones described in the asset files as "Indian") the surname Paudwal, as opposed to the other options that had the surname Parker. And then they NEVER DID IT AGAIN (ingnoring Kiss of Death cause it was a weird case I don't know how to categorize)!!

So here's me assigning surnames to race-custom LIs of other books because it's fun for me:

DISCLAIMER: The Choices single LI formula has for the most part consisted of a white LI, a Black LI, and one or occasionally two other option(s) of varying races. Framing it as white, Black, and "wildcard" raises a lot of questions about racial dynamics and percieved binaries in the United States which are NOT the point of this post but I didn't want to not address it. Also have to address that I will not be assigning new surnames to the Black LI options since most of them are American and a lot of Black Americans have Anglo surnames due to the community's history with enslavement and enslavers, and Choices has simply not given us enough lore to determine if each of the custom race LI Black options are African (or another background) and which languages are a part of their heritages. Would really appreciate if they started writing more African LIs though. Also, similar reasoning applies to face options described as "Native American" in the files re: American colonization.

ALPHA

Channing Luna

These face options are described in the files as "Hispanic". Luna was a Spanish-language surname sound match for Lowe, and plus it also means "moon"!! Yippee werewolf theme!!!!!

Channing Liu

These face options are described in the files as "Asian". The Chinese surname Liu was just the closest sound match to "Lowe" tbh.

BABY BUMP

Clint Kao

This face option is described in the asset files as "Asian". He reminds me a little of the Taiwanese actor Godfrey Gao (rip) so in my head he's Taiwanese like meeee!!! Which sucks cause I didn't like this LI that much lmao. Anyway Kao is the Taiwanese spelling of the surname that is Anglicized as Gao in Chinese Pinyin so I gave it to him cause he reminds me of Godfrey Gao (rip). Not a spelling match but then again there aren't any Chinese surnames that start with the same letter and sound as Covington (e.g., Chang and Cai both start with the letter C but start with the sounds "ch" and "ts" respectively.).

DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS

Charles Quiñones / Charlotte Quiñones

These face options are described in the asset files as "Hispanic". Went with sound matches since there aren't many (any?) Spanish-language surnames that start with K like King.

Charles Kim / Charlotte Kim

These face options are described in the asset files as "Asian". I thought Kim was a pretty good sound and spelling match for King. But it did make me realize that although Kim is the most common surname in Korea by a lot, a Choices Wiki search revealed to me that there's only one character in the entire Choicesverse with that surname and it's the FBI guy from Veil of Secrets?

DISTANT SHORES

Edward Mao

This face option is described in the asset files as "Asian". I originally chose the Japanese surname Morishima because it was an initial spelling match, multisyllabic, and had the ending "ma/mer" sound, but I wanted to honor the great Ming Dynasty Chinese tradition of piracy and its far-reaching legacy. So I went with the Chinese Mao.

Also I know he's canonically from like England which would explain why he's an 18th-century Asian man with an English first name but just for fun if he was from China I think he would be called Mao Aiwei. Or Morishima Eiji if he was from Japan.

Edward Montoya

This face option is described in the asset files as "Hispanic". Montoya was a relatively close Spanish-language sound match.

And if he had a Spanish first name too he would be Eduardo Montoya ovb.

THE DUCHESS AFFAIR

Nathaniel Pandit / Natalie Pandit

These face options are described in the asset files as "Indian". Not a lot of sound matches for Pippin but the Sanskrit surname Pandit has the intial "P" and the ending "i" sound, plus it means "scholar" and fun fact, this word is also the origin of the English term "pundit".

Also since in my research I learned that the vast majority of Indian immigrants to England in this time period adopted English language aliases for use in English society, I came up with some potential real names for these face options: Nathuram for Nathaniel and Nalini for Natalie.

FIRST COMES LOVE

Blake Mai

These face options are described in the asset files as "Asian". I decided on Mai since it could be Vietnamese or broadly Sinophone.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Blaine Juárez

These face options are described in the asset files as "Hispanic". Not any Spanish-language surnames that start with the letters "Ha" as far as I know so I went with a sound match.

GUARDED

Ash Harada

These face options are described in the asset files as "Asian". The Japanese surname Harada is a sound and spelling match and also one of the most common surnames in Japan! EASAYY!!! Though headcanoning them as Japanese brings the total number of Choicesverse Japanese-Americans Named Ash to three. Laugh out loud.......

Introducing Cooper Freedman

There are no words to describe how much I love the fact that when we first meet Cooper, it's because one of his online dates stole his car and Violet needed to give him a ride to work. 😂

Also. Some lines from that ep that I loved.

Coop talking to Violet about his internet dates:

'...That I'm an optimist, that I believe in magic, that there is a soulmate out there waiting for me.'

(Oh babe, if only you knew what's waiting up ahead 🥰 *swoons in Charlotte King*)

Cooper after meeting Addison: 'Have you ever thought of applying your trade in sunnier climes, Addison?'

Violet: 'Sunnier climes?! Now we see why he has to type to pick up women.'

😂😂😂😂 When i say lmao, I mean it literally. Had to rewatch that scene a bunch of times, so freaking good!

Also, I'm so glad they gave him a bit more game on PP. Charlotte would never have stayed with the guy he was in that car scene with Pete and Sam, lol.

How much did I squeak when they said to call the chief on ep23? For a minute, I thought I forgot that she makes an appearance on Grey's, but alas.

I'm so glad I decided to finally rewatch these eps, though. Even though I dislike Naomi, I'm glad they got Audra to take over the role tbh. Also, Dell's hair was so not doing anything for me. I couldn't even focus on the abs because of it.😂

Lastly, I have such a thing for this man in sunglasses. 🔥

[cadybear420]

Man these smut scenes in DLS are actually pretty enjoyable up until when they get to the actual intercourse part...

One day I'd like to rewrite this scene (and probably all the others in this book... and probably every smut scene for every Choices couple that I have ever loved tbh) to have a strap-on involved. I don't care how impractical it is to just have it on standby when investigating someone else's house.

Or at least let us have an option for her to finger him. Work that prostate like you work the piano keys.

Does anyone want a Cooper Freedman x reader, I've been rewatching private practice for the 7th time and I'm a little bit in love but its SO NEICHE

Going Down*

Title: Going Down Pairing: Charlotte King x Reader Prompt: 35. "You're so sexy when you're hot and bothered." MINORS DNI, 18+ Warnings: smut, top reader, bottom Charlotte, oral (f receiving), office sex R WC: 901

"Did you really have to call me in while you were here?" Y/n asked as she leaned against the door to Charlotte's office. It wasn't that Y/n was banned from the private practice, but it was much easier not to be noticed in a large hospital. Here, she had to make sure that nobody saw her whenever she came to visit Charlotte. That was the big stipulation on their relationship. Charlotte wasn't ashamed of her sexuality or Y/n being her girlfriend, but Charlotte didn't want everybody stopping to stare and gawk at Y/n. Charlotte was the only one who was allowed to stare and admire Y/n as far as she was concerned.

"They installed new cameras in the hospital. The last security update was whenever one of Cooper's patients changed the Wi-Fi password. I didn't think you wanted everybody to see you on your knees," Charlotte said. Y/n crossed her arms over her chest as she gave Charlotte a challenging look. It had never really been stated why Y/n was dropping by Charlotte's office in the middle of a slow day, but it was easy enough to be implied. Y/n, however, wanted Charlotte to say it outright. "Don't play that game with me, I'm not in the mood to wait."

A crooked smile found its way onto Y/n's face as she moved towards Charlotte. Y/n didn't immediately drop onto her knees, instead meeting Charlotte's lips as she leaned over the desk chair. The desk that had come with Charlotte's office didn't provide any sort of cover. On the off chance that someone would have found their way into Charlotte's office whenever Y/n was dropping by before, they would have seen Y/n on her knees in front of Charlotte's chair. Now, that problem had been eliminated completely with Charlotte's new and very expensive remodel, which had been a perfect excuse to have Y/n in her office for days at a time.

"You're so sexy when you're hot and bothered," Y/n said as she felt Charlotte push her down onto her knees. Y/n smiled to herself at the thought of how Charlotte tended to get pushy whenever she was horny. It was a trait that some people would have deemed unattractive, but Y/n found herself liking Charlotte's dominant nature more and more. There were a lot of things that Y/n found herself liking about Charlotte that she had never envisioned would work for her in a relationship.

"Just shut up and put that mouth to good use," Charlotte demanded. Y/n just shook her head in amusement as she pushed the skirt of Charlotte's dress up. Charlotte draped her legs over Y/n's shoulders with her heels digging into Y/n's back to keep her close. Y/n glanced up at Charlotte to find the woman covering her own mouth with her hands in anticipation. The sight had Y/n's stomach in knots, even more than the feeling of Charlotte forcing her down onto her knees.

Y/n couldn't waste a second more with Charlotte. She pushed Charlotte's underwear to the side and dove right in with her tongue. Y/n tried to start with teasing licks, but Charlotte pushed her head further into her cunt instead. Y/n could tell that Charlotte had done some preparation before Y/n had come in. Charlotte's arousal was already starting to drip down off of Y/n's lips. There were no sounds coming from Charlotte's mouth, but Charlotte was certain that if someone pressed their ear up against the wall, they could hear how wet she was getting as Y/n ate her out. Something that normally would have mattered to Charlotte became meaningless as Y/n pushed her over the edge.

"Ah!" Charlotte came with a gasp. Y/n pushed herself up off of her knees and sat down on the edge of Charlotte's desk. The glare that Charlotte gave Y/n hardened as the woman came down from her orgasmic high. "Get your ass off of my desk. It costs too much for you to be on it like that."

"I could build you something even better than this old thing. It'd be sturdier too. I could come in every day and fuck your brains out for a year before you'd even start to see a crack," Y/n offered. Charlotte had to admit that the offer sounded good. It wasn't even the desk that excited her, but rather the fact that Y/n had admitted that she still wanted to be with Charlotte for at least another year. Charlotte didn't like to get ahead of herself in relationships, but Y/n was really starting to have her head over heels.

"We'll see about that, but for now, I think you've got about 15 minutes before Cooper comes back with his stupid sandwich and smoothie from that place down the street," Charlotte said. Y/n pouted as she started to get up. Charlotte stood up and pressed a kiss to Y/n's lips as she walked her over to the door. "Come pick me up at 8 tonight? I'll buy us sushi or something nice to enjoy together."

"That sounds perfect." Y/n gave Charlotte another quick peck on the lips before the door was opened up and Y/n had to make her escape unseen.
