Mage Ranks the JD2023E Map... Wet Tennis

And the ride on the coaster doesn’t stop, as we head to space to do our first duo dance of the season, and to play some *reads flash cards*... wet. tennis. Is that even a euphemism???

MAP: Wet Tennis - Sofi Tucker DIFFICULTY: Medium EFFORT: Moderate JD+ NEEDED?: Yes SEASON: Lover Coaster

It’s love-love under the cut!

... this song is so fucking stupid /neg.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything against stupid lyrics and weird metaphors. I’m a Fall Out Boy fan, and half of those lyrics are the weirdest metaphors you’d never even think of and the other half are devastating metaphors, I’m looking at you, ‘they might be your wounds but they’re my sutures’. Fuck, I’m a musicals fan, and some of those metaphors get fucking dumb.

But like... what the hell is “wet tennis” anyways?! I assume it’s a euphemism for sex, but then the verses lyrics mean... basically fucking nothing! I know they mean something but in my ears they sound like nothing. The instrumental of the song is fun, I’m always a sucker for bass and brass, and neither of the singers are bad singers per se, but the lyrics are making me squint at them like that’ll help me understand them more, which I shouldn’t even be paying attention to because I need to pay attention to the dance.

... Oh yeah the dance! It’s cute!

It’s a bit of a gimmicky one, with the coaches gaining tennis rackets to literally play tennis during the chorus, and to use as a prop. I actually think it’s quite a cute gimmick, if only because it reminds me of Wii Sports tennis. I think this map was made specifically for people who hate holding their JoyCons/phones and uses weird accessories, because holding the JoyCon gives me a physical feedback of sorts that I, again, compare to Wii Sports tennis. I think the song is rated correctly, there’s quite a bit of jumping and movement, and while it’s always on beat, I can definitely see people getting tripped up at the end when they go a little slow-mo suddenly, and especially when the gold moves finally show up.

The coaches, Kaa’rik (yellow alien) and Masi’el (pink alien), are so cute. My favorite of the two is Masi’el, because I am not immune to pink and tennis dress. I’m not sure what makes the tennis they’re playing particularly “wet”, maybe in space the tennis balls need to be soaked in water or something. Also, I really love Masi’el’s hair style. Truly a cutie. Kaa’rik is pretty nice too. Overall, cute coaches, and they seemed to be having a ball (pun genuinely not intended). There was no lip syncing in this map, which is fine, I remember back in the first few games when the coaches didn’t even have faces.

The aesthetics of the map are fun, too, very futuristic and sporty. Not much else to say about it, especially since the map is SO new that the lore master hasn’t even said much about the coaches or the tennis ball-shaped ship this takes place in.

I should also point out that this routine technically got leaked a little early, both due to data mining and because it showed up in the background of the alternate map of Can’t Stop The Feeling, hence why it’s preview got uploaded alongside abc (nicer)’s map, that released earlier.

GENERAL RATING: THUMBS UP!

SPECIFIC RATING: 7/10

A cute (albeit somewhat gimmicky) routine, a pair of cute coaches, and a fun si-fi background. It’s definitely not a bad routine to play with a friend! However, I’m sorry, I cannot get over how incredibly fucking stupid the song is, and I will be honest, that’s what’s tanking the score. It might be unfair, but with how much you have to listen to the song to stay on beat, you’re going to eventually feel your brain melt trying to figure out just what in the fuck compelled a person to call sex “wet tennis”.

--

Thanks for reading! No obligation to follow or do much else, but I’d love to hear your opinion on the map! I’d especially love to hear if you like the song, of if you’re with me in thinking it’s dumb. I’m trying to do a map rating every day, so I do hope you’ll stick around, and see what maps I rate next! See you around!

What’s Next? You Choose: First Poll!

hi! today, i’ll be putting out some polls that will give brief details of ideas for fics i have, five ideas here, and five ideas in this post. the winner of each poll will be the two fic ideas i’ll focus on next.

each of these will vary in length, but they’ll all be one chapter, because i want to wind down before focusing on my next multichapter project. also, none of these are the real titles, they’re just silly little codenames.

these polls will be open for one day!

PEDESTALS: an au where the main five are part of a rock band who got big after their cover of tainted love went viral online. as they play an encore at one of their concerts, jack has his eye on wanderlust during his duet with sara.

LOVE: si’ha nova befriends two tennis players who invite her out to a party, and she ends up enamored by an attractive, mysterious stranger.

SAVIOR: once a night, the coaches of crucified are freed from the paintings they reside in. when having a party, one of them decides to break routine.

BONFIRE: an address me, your majesty side story. cygnus is tasked with being a distraction while jack sneaks away. when spending the day with the woman he’s been close friends with for decades, he starts to question where his loyalties lie.

HUNTERS: part of a series of cygnus-centric one shots. when working late one night, he receives a call for help from eternyx’s local vampire, vester de ville.
