party poison
summary: Dan wants to get properly drunk on New Years to celebrate the end of a decade, things don't go exactly to plan because he's kinda dumb
words: 2532
Read On AO3!
Itâs been a long time since Dan has been properly drunk.Â
Eyes glazed, speech-slurred drunk. Falling over furniture drunk, hanging onto Phil like a lifeline. It reminds him of a younger self, one huddled in the woods with a group of teenagers that he wanted so badly to impress; downing liquids that burned his throat and caused full-body shivers to shake his spine.
That type of drinking is such a juvenile thing now, in his mind, though at the time it seemed so grown-up. The summers that he spent playing spin-the-bottle with his emo friends were a nice break from the taunts and bullying that accompanied him like leeches within the school halls. Those words couldnât touch him, though, when he sat by a bonfire and his numb tongue got to taste the vodka on each of his friendâs lips.Â
There was no judgement in that group, not even when his mouth lingered on the other boysâ for longer than the girls. The lack of judgement may have been due to everyone being absolutely pissed, but it still counted.Â
Then there were the university months, before his inevitable dropping out. Being in the law program and not being equipped with better coping mechanisms for it, he let himself go to way too many house parties with people he barely knew. The difference with those gatherings was that he had Phil, who was a voice of reason even if only via text. The most trouble he ever got into then was the occasional party being shut down by the hall staff or having to pay way too much for a cab to get back to his room. He doesnât have much to regret from those times, besides being grossly hungover on exam mornings.Â
Looking back from the present day, he thinks he hasnât been fully drunk since their TATINOF party. It was the last occasion where he really let himself loose, sending out a nonsensical tweet with shaky fingers and even pulling Phil out onto the dance floor without checking for vlog cameras. The consequences of that night, as small as they were, put him off it for a while. That, paired with their stupidly busy schedule in the following years, made for quite the sober Dan. Phil hasnât been drunk since then either, but Dan thinks that might have something to do with him being a nice, sensible man in his thirties. He usually respects and even envies the soft kind of reservation Phil holds about these things, but tonight itâs not going to do.Â
Itâs New Yearâs Eve, and heâs going to be entering a whole fucking new decade with the man he loves. If that isnât cause for celebration, Dan doesnât know what is. It isnât totally his fault that he got an early start on the night and now heâs seeing double at only 10 p.m. â the bottle of red wine he had been nursing while watching Youtube had emptied out with no warning. When the last few drops hit his tongue he was mildly confused, and when he stood up to put it away, his feet seemed to belong to another body.Â
Phil wasnât ready to start drinking until later, when tipsy, wine-fueled Dan thought it was a good idea to sneak a shot of their salted caramel flavored vodka. Even with the added sweetness it still made him let out a strangled cough as the nail polish remover aftertaste hit the back of his throat. Thatâs how Phil found him, standing in the kitchen with his face screwed up in disgust.Â
âGetting started already?â Phil asks, grinning as if heâs in on some secret.
Dan tries not to let it show on his face that he just tossed an empty, kind of expensive wine bottle in the trash â however, heâs unsure what his face is showing. It doesnât feel like it belongs to him.Â
âGuess so. Join me?âÂ
His hands shake a bit as he pours another shot and hands it over, and Phil only looks marginally suspicious as he accepts. He doesnât take it immediately but leans against the counter and holds the glass delicately between his fingers.Â
âYou look traumatized, is it that bad?âÂ
âYeah, you suck at picking flavors. And alcohol in general.âÂ
Dan leans forward to poke him in the chest, miscalculating a bit and getting him sharply in the collarbone. He blinks slowly as he rocks back onto his heels, an apologetic look on his face.Â
âOw. Iâll be the judge of that. Your taste buds arenât right.âÂ
âOkay, cheese-boy,â Dan snorts.Â
He watches as Phil tilts his head back, barely hesitating as he takes the shot. The long expanse of his throat is weirdly appealing, Adamâs apple moving ever so slightly as he swallows it down. Even when he finishes it and his face scrunches up in the same way Danâs had, heâs still weirdly pretty. His face is clean-shaven from his recent Christmas painting video and his blue eyes are bright, the way they always are after a nice trip to the Isle to see his family. Dan wants to kiss him very badly.Â
âDonât gloat about it, but youâre so correct. My love for sugar has failed me this time.âÂ
They end up pulling out a couple of Coke bottles to chase away the taste, and Dan makes it to his second shot of the night before heâs caught out. Half of it splashes down onto his Star Wars pajamas and when he disregards that to drink the other half, the glass rim hits his teeth in a way that makes his shoulders hunch up in a harsh cringe. The next thing he registers is a wad of paper towels being dragged across his leg and Philâs other hand dragging through the hair on the back of his head.Â
âDonât gotta clean me,â he mumbles, letting his head fall onto Philâs shoulder â he feels like heâs in the middle of the ocean, being rocked by insistent waves.Â
âHow much have you had?âÂ
âIâm okay, really. Doing good good great.âÂ
âThatâs not an answer,â Phil laughs.Â
Secretly, Dan thinks itâs his fault for not knowing â if he hadnât spent all day in the office working on that comic thing, they could have shared that wine bottle and it would have been a romantic start to the New Years festivities. Instead, Phil is entirely too sober, and the floor is swaying even though they are grounded firmly on their barstools.Â
âWorry about you, you need to catch up. Iâll wait.âÂ
âI have all night to catch up, itâs hardly half ten. Letâs go to the lounge, yeah?âÂ
âOr the bedroom,â Dan winks, but Phil only stands up and hoists him up from under his armpits.Â
His legs are jelly, but eventually he maneuvers them to the sofa and collapses onto it. Phil disappears again into the kitchen, and heâs comforted by the sounds of him puttering around in there.Â
âTake another shot at least! One shot is basically nothing!â He yells, probably a touch too loud.Â
Thereâs the sound of clinking glass and he knows that Phil listened, which is nice. That reassurance doesnât last forever because then thereâs nothing â no Phil returning and little to no noise happening all throughout the flat. Dan sinks down into the sofa cushion and pulls a pillow to his chest; the decision to wait out the nothingness fails him as his eyelids start to weigh themselves down. Sleep has almost taken him by the time his shoulders are being shaken, jostling him back into reality.Â
âDrink,â Phil says from somewhere above him.Â
Dan reaches out, half-expecting his grabby hands to be met with the small glass from before, but it turns out to be a cold, larger one. He opens his eyes to see the water splashing around inside.Â
âNot thirsty.âÂ
âYou have to have water, Dan. I found the wine bottle in the trash. Youâre sneaky, and youâre way drunker than I thought. Now take a sip.âÂ
Philâs voice isnât harsh, but thereâs no wiggle room to argue with him. If he wasnât incapable of feeling anything other than weird and sloshy, Dan would probably find it kind of hot. He opens his mouth when Phil guides the glass to his lips and drinks it down, not caring when some of it misses and dribbles down the side of his neck and onto the sofa. They can deal with that later. After what feels like a lifetime, Phil takes the cup away and sits next to him on the sofa. Dan immediately rests most of his weight on him, running his hands over Philâs chest in little circles. â
Iâm sorry, baby. I didnât mean to have all the wine, wanted to share. You were busy, though.âÂ
âI told you Iâd stop working before eleven. I just have a lot of deadlines looming in the distance.âÂ
âPlease donât be mad at me.âÂ
Phil laughs a bit at that, grabbing at Danâs chin so he can kiss him from a better angle. The stupid salted caramel nightmare flavor is vividly present, lingering on his lips after Phil pulls away.Â
âIâm not mad. I just need you to sober up a tiny bit before midnight.âÂ
âIâm plenty sober, bub.âÂ
âYou sure are.âÂ
âWhy should I be sober by midnight anyways? Donât need to think to kiss your dumb face.âÂ
Phil huffs in amusement, then reaches for the bottle on the coffee table and pours another shot. Itâs only half full, but Dan canât tease him for it when heâs stuck trying to figure out when it was brought in here from the kitchen in the first place. Maybe he would like to be a little more aware of his surroundings for the start of a new decade.Â
âYouâll feel better in the morning, for one. Secondly, drunk kissing is only good if both of us are unaware of how bad it is. We need to be on the same level so that I donât have to deal with your sloppy mouth, mister.âÂ
âWhatever, drunk-Dan is sexy. Now excuse me so I can go piss for three minutes straight. I had a whole bottle of wine.âÂ
âVery sexy,â Phil quips.Â
Despite his obvious slight annoyance, he hops off the sofa and helps Dan stand up by holding onto his arms and stopping the gentle sway that came from being vertical. They hobble off to the bathroom and bicker the whole way â midnight feels lightyears from now.
Midnight comes sooner than either of them could have kept up with. In a non-shocking turn of events, Dan had peer-pressured Phil into getting past buzzed and into flat-out drunk territory. It was a victory for no one, though, because that meant Phil spent about half an hour lying on the lounge floor with his eyes closed, trying desperately not to be sick. Dan couldnât help him much, in his state, so he just played one of his Spotify playlists on the speakers and hoped that the chill vibes would drown out the whining.Â
Phil tried to distract himself from the nausea with a game of I Spy, but from his place on the floor he could only see the white ceiling. Dan guessed it correctly every time, each round sounding more dead inside.Â
Some more time passed with reluctant snacking on microwave popcorn and leftover Dominoâs straight from the refrigerator that kind of helped them sober up some. Dan was sitting at the dining table with his head resting against the cold surface when he heard a sharp gasp from the lounge.Â
âWhaaat?â
âItâs 11:58, Dan!âÂ
âUgh,â is all Dan could muster, turning his head to the side so that his cheek would get some of the coolness instead.Â
He squints his eyes, watching Phil climb off the floor and stumble way faster than he should be moving into the dining room. His cheeks are flushed, and his stupidly pretty eyes are suddenly all wide and excited. Itâs hard not to let that excitement hit him as well, but his head is just so fucking heavy right now and Dan never wants to move. He decides to gather up as much strength as humanly possible though, because Phil is now bouncing on the balls of his feet impatiently, lower lip jutting out.Â
â11:59! Come on, we gotta do the thing!âÂ
âAlright, fuck, Iâm up,â Dan grunts, holding onto the back of his chair once heâs at eye level with Phil.Â
They huddle closer together and suddenly Dan is hit with just how much this moment means to him. His heart is working overtime, hammering away in his chest with what feels like a weird mixture of nerves and genuine happiness. He smiles at Phil in a way that hurts his cheeks, watching him intensely as Phil stares down the phone screen to check the time.Â
âWeâre supposed to kiss while itâs changing, not after the moment has passed, you weirdo,â he laughs, bringing his hands up to circle around Philâs shoulders.Â
Phil shoves the phone into his pocket and lets out a nervous giggle.Â
âSorry. I love you,â he says, and then heâs finally kissing Dan in the way heâs been thinking about all day.Â
Itâs uncoordinated and messy, but it feels so right with cheesy smiles pressed together and roaming hands sliding beneath shirts. If Dan had more brainpower to think about everything theyâve been through and experienced in 2019, heâd probably be having a little bit of a cry right about now. Heâd probably do something sappy like kiss Phil through his tears and get choked up while telling him about he proud he is of them. As it is, though, he just squeezes Phil a little bit and buries his head in his shoulder.Â
Philâs arms come down to wrap around his waist and they stay like that for a moment, swaying back and forth. The music is still playing from the lounge and even though itâs some obscure indie artist that Dan doesnât even like that much, it feels fitting and floaty and far away.
He lifts his head and kisses Phil on the cheek.Â
âI love you so much. Weâre going to have so many decades together if humanity gets its shit together and stops global warming.âÂ
Phil laughs and reluctantly pulls his hands away from Danâs hips.Â
âEven if they donât, we can go to the moon. Iâll be right back.âÂ
Dan hadnât missed the way his face had gone a bit pale since the end of the kiss, or the miniscule twinge of fear in his boyfriendâs face that grows more impending by the second.Â
âYou need to be sick?âÂ
âVery much.âÂ
âRight, run to the bathroom. Go!âÂ
Dan shrieks a laugh when Phil doesnât budge fast enough and pulls him by the arm to rush to the toilet. They almost trip a thousand times on the short run, but they make it on time. It may not be the ideal, romantic New Years Eve that Dan had envisioned, but they have plenty of years to work on their planning skills. This one is just fine for now.

Jason the Hunter
Fandom: Power Rangers (2017 movie) Rating: T/PG-13 Warnings: Awkward flirting. Implied violence. Vampires. Also dead bodies but... eh. Relationships: Jason Scott/Billy CranstonÂ
Jason is a monster hunter investigating the strange deaths of criminals. When he finds the person responsible he doesn't quite have the heart to punish them.
Basically Iâm trash and that crappy practice doodle about a vampire hunter au I did a few weeks ago inspired this. Maybe itâs a new series? Not sure yet. Also sorry for clogging up the PR and Cranscott tags but like... Cranscott needs more love.
(read on ao3)
Three bodies. All drained of blood. Strewn about Angel Grove Park like abandoned childâs toys. Not dead very long from the feel of it. Jason crouched at the foot of the body nearest to him and stared at the neck wound when he noticed markings peeking up over the collar of the manâs shirt. He reached down and lowered it a bit to see a swastika staring back up at him.
âNazis⊠I take back every time I said poor bastard.â He said with an audible cringe in his voice. He looked up at his partner from the corner of his eye who was taking pictures with her Institute-issued phone to log for the attack database. Theyâd go straight back to Alpha in the command center so they could study them later.
âYeah. These ones are no big loss but sooner or later an actual innocent person is gonna wind up on the wrong side of the fangs. Just remember weâre trying to do something good here.â She said, slipping the phone back into her pocket and slinging her crossbow over her shoulder.
Jason stood, shoving his hands in his pocket. Heâd been hunting for most of his life now. He grew up in a family of hunters, but they were killed by a wild pack of Wendigo a few years back. That was when the Institute took him in. Trained him at the Academy. He was no longer a vigilante monster hunter, rather an official licensed one. Theyâd paired him with Kimberly Hart, who was a master of archery and stealth and kicked his ass far too many times to count. She was a better technical fighter than him, all skill and perfection in one lithe frame. Jason? Well he was just a brawler. The kind of guy who learned what he could by watching his daddy get into bar fights when he was a wee thing. It got the job done.
Still, it never got any easier staring at corpses. Even the gross nazi kind.
âBeen tracking these murders for weeks now and I gotta say, Kimmie⊠I kind of feel like we should let it alone. Like⊠all the bodies weâve picked up have been legit bad dudes? These white supremacist guys? That sex offender about a week ago? A couple of dirty cops? It feels almost like these guys are⊠kinda alright?â Jason said as he surveyed the scene. It was the work of vampires, that much was clear. But it seemed the vampires in question were targeting genuinely awful people. No real loss, and if anything these human âvictimsâ were doing more harm to people than they were. Still, Kim was always the more stalwart of the two.
âTwo wrongs donât make a right. Besides, we let this slide, thereâs a lot of other things we might have to consider overlooking. Jobâs easier when we donât have to think about it.â She said, picking up her equipment.
âIâm heading back to Command. You coming?â She asked, blowing a dark curl from her face. Jason gave a shrug and looked around the area.
âI think I want to do one more sweep before I go. Just see if we missed anything.â
Kimberly raised an eyebrow and offered a shrug.
âKeep your comms on. Donât do anything stupid. So like⊠just most of the things you would do.â It came off biting, but the hint of a smile on her face showed she was just ribbing him. He gave a sarcastic smile and dismissed her on her way before heading into the treeline of the park himself.
He used his sword to hack at the shrubbery in his path, making his way through the wooded area as he looked around for tracks or blood splatter or anything that could lead them to their guys. So far nothing was coming up but trash, discarded condom wrappers, and crushed empty beer cans from the rowdy teens that used these woods to party on the regular.
âUneventful as fuck.â He clicked his tongue to himself as he kicked one of the empty cans into the bush nearest to him. To his surprise the bush shook and an exasperated âOUCH!â rang out from it. He watched as a dark figure fell back in the clumsiest manner, rolling back into the dead leaves before looking up with wide, glowing yellow eyes and a nervous laugh. Jason pursed his lips and cocked his head to the side.
âA vampire hiding in the woods not far from the scene of a murder. Committed by vampires. Must be my lucky day.â He said with a quirk on his lip, dragging his sword in the dirt as he slowly approached him.
âI gotta tell ya, Iâve been hunting creatures for about five years now. Dusted a bunch of guys like you before. Thisâll probably be short. Got any last words?â He asked, raising his sword to the dark skinned vampâs chin. The vampire gulped and kept his hands up in the air.
âPlease I got separated from my group I⊠I donât mean you any harm.â
âBut you killed those guys, right?â He asked bluntly, tipping the vampireâs chin with his blade. He shivered a bit and winced, but he was having a hard time coming up with a response.
â...we have to feed. We only go after people that are bad.â The vampire responded, still hoping that if he were compliant, he would live through this. Jason gulped a moment as he gazed into his eyes, and he found them to be honest and true. Yeah, Kim was right. It wasnât right, but at the same time it was justice.
âWe? How many of you are there?â
âI uh⊠itâs me and my brother and sister. N-not real brother and sister just⊠we were all made by the same person. She⊠isnât really around anymore.â The vampire explained. Three young, scared, homeless vampires? Made sense.
âYou know Iâve been tasked with hunting you down and killing you right?â He said, studying the boy as he cowered in fear. But honestly, in Jasonâs heart he couldnât bring himself to finish it. These vampires had morals. He⊠liked that. Respected it even. So he instead removed his blade from the boyâs throat and sheathed it on his back.
âIâm Jason. Whatâs your name?â He said, looking him over once more. Now that he was free of danger, the vampire boy adjusted his knit cap and cleared his throat.
âBilly. B-Billy Cranston. Iâm⊠new here. Everywhere really. I⊠we were taken by this woman a few months ago. Said she wanted children of her own. My sister calls her La Llorona but really she goes by Empress Rita. She⊠turned us. Then abandoned us here. I⊠donât know why Iâm telling you all this. Maybe just so you donât kill me?â
Jasonâs stony expression changed to a gentle smile and he removed his hand from his pocket and extended it. Billy studied it for a moment before taking it and shaking his hand.
âIâm a hunter. Work for an organization called the Institute of Guidance. Weâre like⊠a secret police for monsters if you will. And you have been raising quite a stink in Angel Grove. Youâre sloppy. But you swear you only go after criminals?â He asked, crossing his arms as he went on.
âYou ever thought about like⊠I dunno⊠robbing a blood bank or something?â
Billy shoved his hands into his blue hoodie pockets and kicked at the dirt on the ground.
âItâs not the same. Itâs⊠Itâs like eating stale bread. It can make us sick if we drink blood like that too long. I donât know if you know what it feels like to have a vampire tummy ache but itâs⊠not great.â He said, chewing his bottom lip nervously.
âI mean⊠okay what about like⊠Consensual feeding? I know vampire groupies are a thing. We call âem blood dolls back at the Academy.â
Billy just chuckled and shook his head. âItâs hard enough to find someone that donât run screaming when they see our glowing yellow eyes, man. Plus Iâm still relatively new at all this. I donât know all this undead slang.â
Jason shrugged a bit.
âI donât. I mean⊠I guess ya want a meal you could always call me. So long as you donât like⊠kill me of course.â
The idea of feeding on Jason entered his mind and honestly? It brought heat to his cheeks. Heat he wasnât sure he was capable of being a cold dead thing, but heat nonetheless. He shuddered a bit, licking his lips as he honed his eyes on Jasonâs neck, how beautiful and pink it was. It almostâŠ
â...U-uh but then what would my siblings eat?â He asked, hands discreetly pulling his hoodie down lower to cover the tenting in his pants. Jason just gave a shrug and ran a hand through his golden locks.
âLook, tell you what. Give me a few days and donât murder anyone else and I will see what I can do about getting you a fresh blood supply, okay? Here.â He said, pulling out his wallet and tugging out a business card with his number on it. They might be a secret society of demon hunters, but they were also professionals. Of COURSE they had business cards.
âCall me when you need something. Preferably before someone dies. I know this is new for you but you donât have to be alone in it, okay?â He said. Their fingers brushed momentarily as the card was handed off, and Billy once more felt the heat well in his cheeks.
âI-I...y-y-yeah okay.â Billy nodded. Jason gave him a brilliant smile and shoved his hands back in his pockets once more.
âIâm glad I ran into you, Billy. Now that we know what the problem is, we can try to fix it.â He said reassuringly. Then he gave him a little salute.
âI gotta go. Stay good, Blue.â He said, nodding to the color of his hoodie before turning and disappearing for the park again. Billy smiled a bit, then gazed down at the card.
âJason Lee ScottâŠâ He said under his breath. He then pressed the card to his non-beating heart and watched the boy walk into the night with his incredible night vision. It was ridiculous because when he died he never thought he would feel this way again, but this vampire was getting a crush. And on the one person he definitely probably shouldnât. Someone who killed his kind for a living.
Dammit, Billy.

12x11 Episode Review - What a Ride That Was!
Having just completed my second watch of this episode I have to say I am slightly stunned. I guess the best way to put it is ânot what I expectedâ. But then what did I really expect? I was expecting pain, heartbreak, drama, interspersed with some humour and a big âno homoâ scene to counteract last episode. I was expecting some dudebro Dean to appease certain types of viewer, along with a nice helping of deep subtext into Dean analysis for us to eat up that would go straight over that type of viewers head. I was certainly not expecting⊠Larry.
I havenât looked at tumblr yet, except to glance at my askbox. I assume that you are all suitably going mad over Larry. Over the implications of Larry. Over the sheer insanity of the episodes biggest innuendo fuelled moments and probably laughing about it. I expect a hundred gifsets. I want to reblog those gifsets. I am also sure that Larry has already been metaâd to death⊠But whatâs the harm in a little more meta to add to the massive pile gonna do? Because I wanna meta the FUCK out of Larry.
But there is a lot more to this episode than just Larry. We did get heartbreak. We did get drama and we did get some really nice character moments. Rowena particularly was amazing this episode (who am I kidding though she is always amazing) and I loved learning more about her thoughts. Overall I think it was entertaining, though not one of the best episodes, but that could be because the writing was a bit sloppy and sometimes the story didnât make sense. Iâll get to why in a bit. Letâs just say that Meredith Glynn isnât my favourite of the new writers by any means. I didnât even review The One Youâve Been Waiting For because I didnât feel particularly inspired by it at all.
But having said that she gave us Larry, and for that I will forever be thankful⊠even if she didnât intend for us to take it the way I have (and I am guessing most of you reading this have too).
Anyway, main points to take away under the cut:
Regarding Dean
Obviously the main point of the episode was to delve a little further into Deanâs head and explore a very unconventional and unexpected fear. The fear of losing ones memory is actually horrifying. It is even more horrifying because this is something that the majority of us will have had at least some experience being first hand witnesses to. I am of course talking about dementia and Alzheimerâs disease. My grandmother had it, and in the later days when she didnât even know who we were it was completely heart breaking. The fact that this is something that many of us fear as we get older is something that certainly wouldnât be lost on the creators of this show, and with many many references in the later seasons to Deanâs getting older (including one in this episode) it is quite a fitting topic to explore. What if he doesnât go out with a âbangâ the Hunter way? What if they do both end up in the Lebanon retirement home where Mildred currently hangs out enjoying sunsets? What if Alzheimerâs becomes an actual legitimate fear for them? This is most definitely the episode that Jensen talked about at a recent con that explores a very big fear. Because this fear is huge and very prevalent in society. It also makes me think of the film The Notebook and how that story deals with a loved one having to watch the person they care about most in the world forget all about them. (FYI I have never been able to sit all the way through that film without crying even though I usually despise sappy love stories).
Deanâs whole existence in this show revolves around his love for his family. The found family that he keeps close by that is. Sam and Cas and now Mary are his world, losing that would utterly destroy Dean. It is why that scene in front of the mirror is so so heartbreaking to watch. Next to Larry, it is the most memorable moment. Though I do think that the deeper themes and meanings to this particular MOTW story were a bit lost in all of the lighter humour. Hence why I said I wasnât a huge fan of the writing. It could have gone deeper, it didnât quite reach the impact that Yellow Fever had even though it tried very hard to pay homage to it.
Starting at the beginning then, Dean wakes up after being wammied by some mysterious witchy guy with a bunny rabbit by his side. I donât get the point of the rabbit at all. Iâll be honest. It was completely non relevant to the plot. I thought at first that maybe the witch had turned himself into a rabbit but it was literally there for us to all âawwâ over. For that reason though, have a pic:
Awwwwwwwwwwwww so CUTE!
It was interesting that this scene came so shortly after the âthenâ sequence which included a young and much less gruff voiced Dean saying ââWhy does a rabbit always get screwed in the deal? Poor little guyâ. Have we had many other rabbit references in this show? I donât think so⊠except maybe Bugs Bunny in Hunteri Heroici which immediately brings Cas to mind âSo we are dealing with some insect-rabbit hybrid?â Though this episode does also feature a character happily watching cartoons so maybe the connection there is totally valid. Rabbits are also a symbol of fertility, spring, new birth and most obviously sex. In an episode absolutely chocablock with innuendo. That is also an interesting point. Though I have no idea how to connect it to anything else so I am just throwing all this stuff out there for you guys to pick at. By all means tell me if you have any ideas!
Dean losing his means of communication means reaching out to people in other ways⊠A lady with a pram comes by and rejects him as a bum. Gives him money instead of even trying to listen. A guy comes along with a dog (our famous white dog whose name I canât remember) and gives Dean his attention⊠before doing some stretches, jogging on the spot and wiggling his hips. (I found this guys movement kinda um⊠suggestive when considered in the context of the rest of this fucking episode). Without going into too much detail here, I just thought Iâd point out that Dean is rejected by the woman and child (traditional family) but accepted by the guy with the dog. Because of course he fucking is.
The waffle house brings us our first promo scene, but knowing the context now makes it so much clearer. I was guilty of making assumptions. Just like Sam does. Thinking that Dean went out, got drunk, had a one night stand⊠he did no such thing. The promo mislead us and I think it did so deliberately. It is getting clearer and clearer all the time that that version of Dean that Rowena so kindly spells out later in the episode âmanners of a Neanderthal and the dining habits of a toddlerâ the âseason 1â version of Dean, if you like, just isnât the guy we see on our screen anymore. We arenât getting these moments anymore. Have we even seen the Asian porn yet this season? Personally I hope it never makes another appearance.
Samâs comment âDean, youâve had a good run, but maybe lets pump the breaks a little bit I mean youâre not 20 anymoreâŠâ is pretty much what I was thinking the whole promo. The waitress is far too young for him, that kind of behaviour fooling around in bars just isnât really any kind of behaviour for a man his age, and in an episode with a heavy underlying theme that could easily be compared to the worst potential problems that come with growing older I donât think it was accidental.
âI would be dead okay, I wouldnât be Dory.â
âDory?â
âNot gonna apologise for loving that fish. Not to you, not to anyoneâ.
I love that we have yet another thing to add to the list of things that Dean Winchester loves that donât fit in with his macho image. This is wonderful. Dean likes Disney films. This is canon. If he can admit to loving that fish, this means that at times he will go out and watch Disney films and get excited about them and actually have strong feelings about them. Now I am totally headcanoning that he forces Cas to watch them with him and I BET that Casâs favourites are The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Why I hear you ask? Because they would resonate with him. If you donât get it, rewatch those movies from a destiel perspective.
âsmooth like a Ken dollâ This is the second time the show has compared Dean to a Ken doll. Probably just a tease at Jensen Ackles very perfect features, but I keep thinking about Ken from Toy Story 3 and after the Finding Nemo/Dory reference a moment ago I think it is valid. Ken in Toy Story 3 had a very... um... loud personality.
The cowboy bar⊠How do I even BEGIN to meta the cowboy bar? All I can say was this seems like the kind of place that Gabriel would send Dean in fanfiction to work on his gay panic before ultimately hooking up with Castiel.
The third place they come to (and Iâll talk about Samâs lack of Dean knowledge a bit later) and the first thing we see is a shot of:
Well thatâs a rather large phallic object hanging over the Winchesters heads! Yeah this is totally Deanâs kind of place. He does have a cowboy fetish after all. This sign also caught my eye:
Because Chuck is certainly off having some âR&Râ right now with his sis⊠It also seems to be the kind of place that Chuck would have hung out in his stint living on earth⊠ya know, playing his music, since there is clearly a stage set up with band equipment, picking up girls⊠and guys. Like we are ever gonna forget that GOD in the Supernatural universe is bisexual.
Lets talk about Larry
Consider this a sub point to my âregarding Deanâ point because it all technically falls under the same category.
âheâd ordered burgers to go, it was gonna be a minute, we were slammed, then you knocked back four shots of tequila? Put some âsick jamsâ on the juke and then you hit the bull.â
âoh yeah, you had the hots for larry as soon as you walked inâ.
Now, there is innuendo, and then there is this line. Why give the mechanical bull a guys name? Specifically so you can make this into one big innuendo. This entire scene is about Dean riding dick. Iâm sorry, deny it all you like but thatâs the joke. Thatâs the bottom line (pun unintentional until reread then found hilarious). On checking my ask box yesterday once I first watched the episode this is what I got:
Thanks guys by the way for sending these. I am with you. Consider this review your asks answered if thatâs okay (Iâm being lazy because I still have a load of asks to answer and I have no idea when Iâll get to em). So Dean rode Larry. Haha. It gets brought up again later in the episode by Sam when he is trying to tease Dean about it. What I am interested in is Deanâs reaction. When Sam first asks âYou rode Larry?â Dean hesitates, but he isnât embarrassed. Yeah heâs still hexed at this point and regressing but he doesnât get defensive about it. Just asks if he was good. This is then revisited later on once Dean is cured âI canât believe you rode Larryâ and Deanâs only defence is âI was awesome on that Bull⊠like a God.â Which is also a call back to Chuck again, in the bar that had a Chuck sign and really did seem to be Chuckâs kind of place⊠Is Dean like God? Well yes. For one thing they are both bisexual.
Perhaps mechanical bullriding isnât seen as homoerotic in the kind of places where you would actually get mechanical bullriding. It could even be considered as a very macho thing to be able to âtame the bullâ. But the way the episode frames it⊠the way they shove the innuendo at us over and over again. It is intentionally played out to be a gay joke. What I canât decide is whether or not this is the creators joking along with us or whether they are doing it to take the piss. There is a level of regression here back to the pre carver era spn where the gay jokes were rife and not ever really taken seriously. Deanâs subtextual bisexuality used to be a joke in the show. It hasnât been framed as a joke since pre season 8 and yet I canât help but wonder if this new writer hasnât yet got with the programme. Because Deanâs bisexuality is not a joke. Especially when this episode is framed by two very Cas heavy episodes, the first of which was loaded with destiel subtext that was deep, meaningful and very very serious. Looking at the promo for next episode, I have a feeling that we are only going to get more of that. So why sandwich a Dean episode full of gay jokes in between two Cas episodes full of serious destiel heavy storyline? If their intention was to make it into a joke again, they have failed. Because when taken with 12x10, the humour is stripped away and what is left is the viewer wondering whether Dean really does have a hankering for dick? Specifically Castielâs. I know that my language here is very blunt. I also know that the chances are this review could find its way to some antis who would like to take the piss out of this⊠but seriously? Go ahead. Try. With the show playing up to the things we like, and with very little âno homoâ moments to counteract it, I donât see how you can view this any other way than the way we do.
Dean left Sam, went to this specific bar, had some Dutch courage and rode the bull. He also flirted with a waitress but that never went very far. His main concern was how good he was with LarryâŠHow good his riding skills were⊠and spoiler alert⊠he was awesome.
(yes nonny - Dean could totally ride dick like a porn star. This is now true. Since we have seen him in action with our own eyes. Its not like most of those âLarry ridingâ shots at the end even had the bull in them. It was all Dean from the waist up just having the time of his life and going up and down... up and down... like this wasnât subtle. This totally wasnât subtle.)
I also need to point out that all this happened before Dean got hexed. This was all Dean Winchester. This wasnât performing Dean. The Dean who puts on a mask which half the time seems to be specifically for Sam. Nope. This was Dean as himself, the same Dean that owns booty shorts, likes ballet and has a thing for Dr Sexy.
The moment that the waitress says âyou wereâŠamazingâ can be taken as the âno homoâ to the Larry narrative of course. The way she says those words can easily be taken to be a comment on Deanâs sexual prowess. But its only there to cover up the underlining sexual nod to Deanâs âamazingâ ability to ride the bull. The bull being called âLarryâ and therefore along with all the other phallic references this is, as I said previously, all one big âDean rides dickâ joke. And I canât actually fucking believe the show did that.
Actually thatâs a lie. I fucking well can. They have been flirting with this idea of Cas being a top and Dean being a bottom for AGES but THIS takes the biscuit.
So Dean rides dick. Thanks for confirming bottom!Dean show. Great job.
I wonder if even this went over poor âinnocentâ Jensen Ackles head⊠Is he Charlton Heston? REALLY? Or is he 100% on board with this because how can you possibly act this out. INCLUDING THAT RIDICULOUS MONTAGE AT THE END and NOT see it? You do realise how fandom is gonna take this Jensen? You do realise this will probably DOUBLE the number of destiel fics where Dean is happily riding Casâs dick all night long?!? (as a disclaimer here that is not what destiel fic is all about but there is still a lot of smut out there so I feel like the show is only encouraging this) (on the other hand I expect to find 20 12x11 codaâs on my dash where Dean goes home, finds Cas, tells him about Larry and how he wants to âshow Cas his skillsâ *nudge nudge wink wink* and Cas will be like âoh. yes please!â and yeah... that happens. That totally happens.)
The other takeaway from this scene so loaded with meta potential is the waitressâs explanation of what happened. Because it seems weird and makes no sense. The question Iâm sure a lot of people will be asking is Did Dean sleep with the waitress? But when you consider her explanation of what happened, how could he possibly have?
Ooh I actually got an ask about this too:
She said they were slammed, Dean had to wait for his burgers, hence he had time for 4 shots of tequila and a ride with Larry. So how did they get talking and âblew off some steamâ? Because she didnât even see him leave, it was her bartender that saw him run out of there like his pants caught fire (liar liar)
Is that the hint? Liar liar pants on fire? Was she lying about fooling around with Dean? If so why did she slap him earlier? She must have been insulted that he didnât remember her and didnât meet up with her later but it still doesnât make any sense. How did she have time to fool around with Dean somewhere if they were slammed? If the place was slammed they surely wouldnât have been able to find a quiet space to actually do the fooling around either? This whole thing smells like a lie and when you consider Deanâs later line âfirst action in I donât know how long and its like it never even happenedâ seems to me that the writer wanted us to consider that maybe all is not a it seems. The only action Dean got in that cowboy bar was from Larry.
Consider another ask answered! Dean did not have sex with the waitress! They possibly squeezed in a kiss when she was on break but there is no way they had time to properly fool around.
Another thing I liked about this scene was the way the waitress then apologises for possibly taking advantage of Dean when he was âroofiedâ. After the mess and drama of the Amara stuff last season this is refreshing. Dean gets an apology for being sexually harassed, which from a meta perspective could also be the writer apologising for the Amara situation. I dunno if thatâs really the case but I like the idea of it so Iâm sticking with it.
Back to Regarding Dean
Once the Winchesters start tracing Deanâs steps into the forest Dean loses more memory. We have another call back to season 4 and Yellow Fever with the flashlight moment and Sam has to remind Dean what they do since he has now forgotten all about witches and monsters. The difference between his reaction to being a monster hunter here and in yellow fever is huge though. In yellow fever he thought they were both insane, horrified at the thought of actively going after these dangerous supernatural beings. In Regarding Dean he is excited about the idea, finds it awesome and calls them both âheroesâ. Itâs nice to know that without his memories of the horrible things theyâve done Dean is able to accept that he does something good and is able to be happy about that.
Another call back to season 4 with the mention of the Siren âSirenâs arenât all hot chicks?â Nope. Sorry Dean some of them are hot guys who are totally your type. To bring up the Siren (an episode absolutely full of homoerotic subtext) in this episode (an episode absolutely full of homoerotic subtext) seems like another subtle nod to Deanâs bisexuality. Like a âhello! Remember this? Deanâs siren was a dude come on guys catch up!â At moments like this I feel like the show is specifically trying to tell the audience what we (as fandom) already know. Dean is bisexual, like last episode they were trying to tell us that Cas is in love with Dean. This is all extremely promising.
THEN right after we are reminded of the Siren, but right before Dean totally randomly brings up Cas we get this:
I mean of course I was gonna bring up the handprint! Although I admit I have been lacking in my watchfulness lately for any hand or hand print symbolism in the show. But this is definitely meant to pique the audiences interest. Because why is it there at all? Why bother with the hand print if they are gonna find the sigil shortly after? It doesnât seem to add much to the plot except to be there to ping a memory in Deanâs mind. Of Castiel.
âAnd our best friends an angel! Whaaaaatt!â
This is another season 4 callback after all. Season 4 being the season of Casâs handprint. When their âprofound bondâ was formed. There is no way this handprint isnât supposed to invoke the memory of that most famous of handprints. Dean remembers Cas fondly. Even when he doesnât remember him he still thinks he is awesome. This makes me so happy. As Cas fans we are so used to Cas just being forgotten about in MOTW episodes, but like I have been saying for ages now, Andrew Dabb is the biggest Cas fan and he wonât let our angel be forgotten about at all now that he is showrunner.
Moving on and Rowena shows up a her awesome self and Dean is nice to her. His base nature is actually to be nice to people regardless of who they are. Its something we donât see very often from our very grumpy and deeply traumatised monster hunter. âyour hair itâs all so bouncyâ he says. Noticing the smallest things. Its cute. Its so very un-dean-like and yet at the same time it is exactly the kind of thing Dean would do. We know he likes to take care of his own appearance, his room, and often teases Sam about his hair and Cas about his trenchcoat. These are more in-sights into how Deanâs mind works.
Dean is sat down to watch an episode of Scooby Do whilst Rowena and Sam talk about the curse, firstly thinking he gets to watch porn. Nope. Instead we get this:
Which⊠in an episode full of sexual innuendo is *ahem* something Iâm not going to comment on. Yes my mind did go there. No I am not specifying where âthereâ is. Look at the picture and figure it out for yourself. Flowers and dogs also have specific symbolism in this show. Maybe this wasnât intentional but with everything else? I think it is. I am partly laughing and partly crying at how obvious this is to me at least. But like I said I ainât going there. LOL.
Then, once Sam has explained to Dean once again what is happening we get this beautiful scene:
Honestly Jensen killed it. The fear in his eyes, the horror and confusion. âMy name is Dean Winchester. Sam Winchester is my brother, Mary Winchester is my mother, and Casti- Cas is my best friendâ This was beautiful and painful to watch. My heart breaks for him. Amongst all the humour and silliness of Larry and Rowena and Samâs squabbles, this moment showed the truth. That the situation is dark and terrible and frightening. I wish they had given us more moments like this than all the humour to be honest. Because this was real. This was Dean vulnerable and terrified. Once again a scene where he faces his reflection and struggles with what he sees, though this time for a totally different reason. Dean has never had a good time with mirrors in this show. Ever since Bloody Mary they just tend to be bad luck for him. This moment is no different.
As Dean continues to forget more and more Rowena leaves him to go and save Sam (how awesome is it that Rowena is technically saving them now?!?) and leaves Dean in the Impala surrounded by notes. This is where Dean really has forgotten everything and yet his hunter instincts still kick in.
We get another moment where Sam denies the use of the grenade launcher. Three times and itâs a pattern. I would bet money on Dean getting to use that thing by the end of the season.
Dean finds his way to the witches mansion and is able to save Rowena and Sam by firing the gun and killing the witch. Proof that hunting really is in his blood, part of his soul. He will always be a hunter. No witches spell can take that away. In a way it is quite sad because it kind of implies that however this show ends, it wonât be with Dean giving up hunting. Even with the talks of retirement in previous episodes, I canât see Dean doing it. Its who he will always be.
Once the witches are dead and the spell reversed, Dean admits that he wouldnât be better off forgetting all their crap, because he would have forgotten everything else too. No matter how happy he might have been.
âWas it nice to drop our baggage? Yeah maybe, hell probably, but it wasnât just the crap that got lost it was everything, what we do, all of it. So, thatâs what being happy looks like, I think Iâll pass.â
Of course Dean wouldnât choose to forget everything. Like the previous scene proved, Its in Deanâs blood to be a hunter, and he wouldnât ever wanna forget his family. The people he loves. Forgetting the people who love you is not happiness in any way shape or form.
I feel like maybe this episode was lacking an emotional final scene. This was short and sweet but it didnât seem to have the satisfaction that I thought it would, regarding Deanâs memory loss and fear and dependence on his loved ones. But it was still a great analysis of Deanâs character nevertheless.
Sam Winchester isnât looking hard enough
This episode was predominantly about Dean, but there was a lot of stuff about Sam in here too. Specifically how he doesnât really seem to notice much about his brother. I donât mean this as a dig, but itâs honestly quite surprising. When we compare episodes where Sam has been changed somehow, it has taken Dean no time at all to realise something is wrong. Sam however, seems to shrug it off as Dean being a dumbass, or Dean being drunk, or Dean doing something to make Sam roll his eyes again. It seems like Sam has got an idea of who Dean is in his mind and it is so deeply ingrained that he is kinda blinded by it. He has his expectations of his brother, and he has got it so so wrong. Sam judges Dean. He doesnât mean to, but the problem is that Dean has been building on his âcharacterâ on his âperforming Deanâ persona just for Sam for his entire life. Sam sees the performance, he doesnât see whatâs underneath. Its episodes like this that make me question all our fics with âshipper!samâ because I sometimes doubt if thatâs the case. Does Sam actually see it for what it is? Or is he so blinded by his version of Dean that he cannot see the truth? Clearly Cas and Deanâs tension makes him uncomfortable, as last episode all but proved. But does Sam really understand what is going on here?
If he can be surprised that Dean loves Dory, what else surprises him? How much of Dean does he not know about?
What I found really striking in this episode is how Sam doesnât find it easier to track Deanâs movements of the night before, because if it was the other way around Dean would have figured Sam out straight away. This was shown to us back in season 4 (again with the season 4 references in this episode!) when Dean was able to locate Sam based on how well he âknows that kidâ. If Sam had truly known his brother well, he would have known that the cowboy joint was the first place heâd go. Sam knows that Dean has a âcowboy fetishâ and therefore it make the most sense? Dean wanted to ride the bull, but Sam was so surprised that Dean rode Larry that he âcouldnât believe it.â Â
Even the end scene, Sam admits that he was kinda jealous. For him, forgetting everything they have done is a weight off their shoulders. Something he would like to experience. I think this is also a hint towards Sam not entirely accepting that hunting is his life. Whereas Dean is generally happy with what he does, because it is in his blood Sam doesnât feel that way. I know we have seen previous episodes where Sam has seemed to accept it. But he only accepts it if he can do it with Dean. The co-dependency is extremely strong with Sam at the moment. Sam also always seems to be looking for something more. I donât just mean relationship wise, though he did admit this in 11x04, but something more than just hunting.
We have always known that Dean was more like Mary. Maryâs family are the hunters. Dean is one of them. Sam though? Sam was all John. And John might have taken to hunting once his revenge had consumed him, but hunting was not in Johnâs blood. Nope, Johnâs blood is all Men of Letters. This is the path that Sam seems destined for.
What also seems to encourage this theory is that it is usually Sam who is paired up with Rowena in any of her episodes. It is common in this show for most side characters to develop a better relationship with Dean than to Sam. Dean is charismatic like that, but Sam has âbondedâ with Rowena if you wanna call it that, far more than Dean has, and it is always Sam who calls Rowena in to help. Is Sam attracted to magic? This is something that we have been speculating for a while. The Men of Letters use magic this we know, even their grandfather Henry was able to âharness the power of his soulâ to cast spells. It was Sam who spoke to Lily last episode about how she developed her power. It is Sam who finds all of that stuff very interesting, and it is Sam who holds on to the Grimoire at the end of the episode. Will we get witch!sam in the future? I think it is still a possibility, but if nothing else he will become a true men of letters eventually⊠that I am sure of.
I said I was slightly disappointed with the end of this episode as it seemed to brush over the deeper, more meaningful conversation that could have been had. Another moment of missed potential I think was this one:
âBrother. Witchâ
Isnât it all a bit too easy? What if the witch had turned around and said âno! Iâm your brother! Heâs a witch!â and it could have got confusing for Dean. I think this moment could have really been great for Sam to have to convince Dean somehow why he was indeed his brother⊠revealing something about himself and their relationship? It would have been nice to see that moment of doubt from Dean followed by pleading from Sam to believe him rather than the witch. Itâs an old TV clichĂ© though so maybe thatâs why they didnât do it.
The next great Sam moment was this one: âWhoâs this hippy?â
Sam looked broken here. For a moment he was really worried that his brother had forgotten him⊠that is the moment I was talking about earlier about the horrors of Alzheimerâs. Thinking that your loved one doesnât know who you are is horribly painful. Jared did really well to capture that moment, even though it turned out to be Dean joking around. Iâm with Sam here, that wasnât funny Dean. That was mean.
Rowenaâs future
Rowena was totally awesome in this episode. We first see her playing poker with some shady characters and cheats her way into winning. Iâm so interested in what Rowena is up to off screen. First the rich businessman who Crowley blew up, now this. She is clearly completely done with other witches, but she isnât quite âout completely, and still comes to Sam and Deanâs aide even though she could easily tunr them down. Like Crowley, could Rowena be starting to care for the Winchesters?
âAm I saved to your contacts now? Tell me, have I got my own ringtone?â Lol. So Rowena is flirting with Sam. Which is fun but also reminds me of 10x19 and Samâs hallucination of Rowena that got all flirtatious with him. That was Samâs mind remember so is there actually something in this? Oh god do we need a ship name for this now? We had Drowley now we have Samena/Sawena? Eek I dunno about this! Though I might just go with it purely for the look on Crowleyâs face.
Anyway I just love Rowena and Samâs banter okay?
Then she turns up at their door and as much as Sam brushes it off as Rowena having her eyes on the Loughlinâs book, partly I think Rowena actually enjoys their company.
âaltruism isnât exactly your styleâ
Isnât it though? Because she seems like she is also putting on a performance of villainess when really itâs not who she is at all. Like Dean, itâs all a performance.
âYouâre a killer, Dean Winchesterâ
âBut, though you may be a stubborn pain in the ass, with the manners of a Neanderthal and the dining habits of a toddler, everything youâve done, youâve done for the greater good.â
âOh and thatâs supposed to make it okay?â
âI wouldnât know. You help those other than yourself, but me? Iâve done horrible things. I told myself it was fine. It was the price of power and powers what matters right? Then I meet god and his sister, the two most powerful beings in the universe, wasted on squabbling with each other. I thought if they canât be happy or at least satisfied how can there be any hope for me?â
This is such a fascinating insight into Rowenaâs mind, how she thinks. For ages it was all about getting power but since God and Amara she has given that up. Itâs not about power. She still wants money so she can support herself, but like her son what she is missing is love. This is why I think she helped the Winchesters. She likes them, even if she acts like she doesnât. They are technically the only people she really knows and I can see this being part of her storyline that she tries to build on a relationship with Sam and Dean. As an ally at first, but then at some point a friend.
After all, when she hears Sam is in trouble, she goes to rescue him. She doesnât flee and decide itâs not her problem. If she didnât care, she wouldnât have put herself at risk for Sam. She doesnât even get the book in the end. So what did she possibly risk her life for? If not to save Sam. This is a huge turning point for Rowena. She made a decision to save Samâs life. So much for being a villain.
When Rowena does face Catrina, her story is horrible and sad, we are starting to learn more and more why Rowena is the way she is. Though nothing has come too close to her speech to Crowley in 11x10. Rowena hated being weak, being at the mercy of others. Her experience with the Loughlinâs shows just how awful it was for her. The way she was treated does not excuse the horrible things she has done, but it seems as though since meeting God and Amara she is trying to make up for some of that. She is not unkind or uncaring at all. She has always cared maybe too much. Otherwise she would have easily left both Winchesters to die.
This goes back to her speech to Crowley. âIf I didnât hate you, Iâd love you. And love, love is weakness.â This I think is the theme of Rowenaâs arc. For her to learn that love is not a weakness, that to have people who love and support you only makes you stronger. It coincides with Casâs arc as well, where he is constantly being told that his weakness is his love for âhumanityâ. Castiel already said himself that âmy friendship with Sam and Dean makes me strongerâ. Rowena just needs to learn this too.
Overall
This episode wasnât one of the strongest but it had some very good moments. I didnât like the villains. I found them rather boring, but then they werenât the focal point of the episode. The writing was sloppy in places and some of the plot didnât quite make sense, but ultimately it worked. Just, what the hell was the end montage? I get that it was supposed to be another call back to Yellow Fever but seriously? The song was kinda fun. About innocence lost by the sounds of it.. but seriously? I was suffering from a bit of second hand embarrassment Iâll be honest. I think they just really needed an excuse to put Dean riding Larry into the episode for real.Â
This makes me think that we totally missed out on a booty shorts dance from Dean at the end of 11x04.
Main takeaways from the episode?
Meredith Glynn binge watched season 4 and used it for all her references.
Sam really needs to pay more attention to what Dean isnât telling him.
Sam may be tempted by witchcraft.
Rowena cares. A lot.
Dean likes to ride dick. (but then we already knew that.)
:P

Now youâve to lead your party into quick but tactical turn-based epic battles in grand arenas where the visuals are stunning and every choice counts in this game. Here are some user reviews:
Bogdan Jelenkovic: One of the best RPG games. My favorite thing here is that no hero is wasted because there are contents u can use all of them. FOR DEVELOPERS!!! 1. Include some contents where 2-3 players can make a party and with 10-15 heroes together fight against some bosses 2. Real-time PvP with pick and ban system 3. Fire guys who made chat script, delete it completely and employ someone who can make a good chat Focus on new contents, most of the people quit this kind of games because they are too repetitive
Dushyanth Sachan: Itâs just a cash grab, you canât enjoy this game without spending money. Iâm at level 28 and the game has already become a nightmare the enemies are tough as hell, and upgrading heroes and skills are way too slow if you donât spend money. I had to grind for resources for a week just to clear a level I was stuck at and guess what the very next battle is twice as tough, this is absolutely ridiculous and totally unacceptable.
Elinam Anansi: I have played this game for one day but this game is already getting too much harder than another freemium game. like you have to buy resources and upgrade your hero just to feel how to play it in a normal way (not too easy but not too hard) otherwise you have to grind which is pretty boring.
Juan Gonzalez: game is really fun and interesting. unlike other kinds of games that make it really hard to get characters and power up which is almost forcing u to spend money, this game doesnât but u can if u want to be powerful really fast. Great contents and events, a must download the game.
Rasharos: Itâs an amazing game with great potential. Not too easy, not too hard. I just believe story dialogues representation could use some help, looks kinda odd. Excited what this game turns to be in the future.
Georgi Georgiev: Great and difficult game!! Itâs not for kids who love to win easily every battle. You have to use your brain because everything has a tactic. The game is not paid to win because you can achieve everything without spending a single coin.
Jervin Mark Caco: Nice game. Good graphics and nice story but the skillâs damage are too low and also Ronan shield skill has a bug because the effect of it in the allies are random but stated in the description it will give shield on the lowest hp ally. In addition, this game is pay to win, lack of heroes and you canât even get heroes easily.
BURCIN BORAN: I love this game. its been 1.month and I am level 49 now. didnât spend any money till now. my only suggestions are 1- practice mode. I want to try my new heroes to see their abilities. also when my energy finishes, sometimes I just want to play without gain anything. 2- healers are too powerful. some teams have 2 or 3 healers and itâs really boring to play against them.
YaĆar Gökay ĂzĂŒmcĂŒ: Graphical experiences are awesome. The turn-based strategical camera is passive. Heroic skills are inadequate for an addictive and stimulative RPG game. Refill of energies is absolutely sickening!!!
Neeloy Biswas: It would be great if I could get some compensationđ⊠I am accumulating all the necessary things to get Azariel⊠but really.thanks for your active response to resolve the problem. we enjoy playing the game. you guys can give a little ad while launching the game to get some money⊠itâs just a suggestion.
Marvin Cox: Love this game. Donât have to pay to play to be good which is very fair and refreshing. Also, there is more to come which keeps us all interested. Still fighting my way through the great story. great characters, great game. worthy of a download.
Franklin Carter: I am impressed with this game. Donât need to pay to play, just give up a few minutes each day and âREALLYâ play when You have time, and You can advance⊠Cool graphics and original storyline give this game an A+ rating from meâŠ
Garrett Wuthrich: TLDR: Game is OK. Good graphics and decent fight mechanics, but itâs a grind if youâre not willing to pay. After Chapter 1 and about level 20, the game becomes a hard grind of an RPG. Which isnât good when youâre forced to wait for energy to accumulate based on real-world time to do anything, otherwise you can just buy your way through the grind. Combined with, IMO, not being enough content and the real-time wait to perform actions/events, the game feels like a struggle Iâm not willing to pay.
Ben Hull: very well designed, have played similar games to this in the past and by far this is the best one I have played yet. graphics are very nice and smooth and I also like the light and dark concept. overall âŠ.. Great game đ
Andy Snuffles: The gameplay is good, art style and animations are good, but not very fun to play as progression slows to a crawl very quickly. the grind is much worse than other games with a similar model and weeks into playing I still have the same 5 light characters I had on day 1. The dark characters are way less individual and fleshed out which makes me not want to play them.
Zachary Mills: Great graphics, the game gets you up to speed pretty fast and is fun. But something about the currency, market, equips, and leveling up system seems sloppy to me. Canât give any direct suggestions to improve the game, other than maybe focus on more skills or an actual skill tree perhaps? This game is definitely worth playing and fun, just not sure how long ill continue playing.
Faronta Tate: Game is fun and addictive, especially if youâre into RPG role playing type games. The gameplay is similar to Marvel Strike Force. As you progress you unlock new characters and abilities as well as increasing your level and ability levels. There are clans, PvP, raids, light and dark storylines and other modes to play. You will eventually hit a wall slowing your progress drastically. Putting money into the game, of course, will speed up progression, if you donât it will become a very long grind.
Hafiz Azmi: itâs a very good game to play. it has a storyline that keeps the game interesting. I love it but I must say the in-game price is too much for us down in the east. as much as I want to buy the healer elf, it just cost me a bomb to purchase it. rm140 is like 1/10 of our country minimum salary đ€Ł itâs not going to happen. anyway, I did purchase the bunny though ni like it. it had helped a lot, especially in the early game.
Michael Doran: Iâve been playing Age of Magic for a few weeks now and I really enjoy the graphics and the gameplay. Iâve just done your most recent update (Jan 2019) and now the game wonât even load⊠Managed to solve not loading problem by uninstalling the game and re-installing it, a bit tedious but it worked.
