Im semi excited for the full Balders Gate 3 release in a month. I have no issue with the divinity style even if some aspects of it, such as the little amount of interesting stuff that comes from leveling up, arent the most exciting. My major concern is the performance side of things. First couple of hours I was fine, able to explore the beginning of the area with a constant 60 fps. Then it just kept dipping and dipping as I played, until I basically got to the end of the ea content barely able to keep a stable 30. With that teaser video they did of the actual Balders Gate city supposedly being massive and detailed, im worried that my computer wont be able to run it at all, let alone at a non eye straining frame rate. We'll see though I guess.
Minor complaints underneath
TLDR: Wish this game looked shittier but played better. I couldnt give two shits how realistic the models or environment if it was just really well tuned. Probably gonna be one of those "Devs bit off more than they could chew" situations that Ill end up getting angry at around the second half, finish, and never play again.
-Ive always hated the spellcasting system of most tabletops. Cast a spell and its gone, if it missed or failed then sucks to be you. Its not a fun idea, and I wish most of the spells were simply made weaker or placed on a cooldown rather than limited. That was what was cool about divinity, if you figured out some really cool combos then you wouldnt have to resort to resting every couple fights just to use them again. Sucks, especially since most stuff is subject to roll rng, so your big lv 3 spellslot ability means nothing cause dipshit beat the dc by chance. Even worse when alot of spells are channeled, so if your character gets hit even once and then proceeds to fail the concentration check the spell fizzles out. Lame shit.
-THE CAMERA. The camera is atrocious, and I dont know what they did differently compared to Divinity 2, but it is a nightmare to control. If you pan too far from your character theres this, like, invisible leash that sudden kills any further movement. It also hates and form of horizontal movement, which means if your character is really high up it wont go down, and if youre trying to look up a cliff it'll just rub the wall.
-The cast is underwhelming. You have a githyanki which is neat, but otherwise its literally two human guys, a half elf, and a vampire elf. Theres not a single dwarf, halfing, gnome, or even a tiefling in the party, which is super lame. They could have easily had a dwarf with the weird magical item hunger problem, or a tiefling vampire wouldve been funny as hell.
-While the variety of extra actions are cool (I cant count how many people Ive killed by shoving them off cliffs or into lava) but theyre really clunky. The environment has so much detail that shoving or shooting in a direction is at massive risk of being just caught on some stray rock or pillar.
-The AI for npcs is still as dumb as it used to be, had a slave get mad at me for shoving its captor into lava. Guys that have never pathed will suddenly turn around out of the blue, even had one person just t-pose and vanish.
-Most of the magical equipment I got wasnt very interesting. Even the adamantite stuff I got after the big fight in the forge was just a debuff on hit. I want silly shit, I want game breaking shit, I want more stuff like those weird tentacle grenades that pull people in.
-Very buggy, and with how big theyre saying the game is gonna be I dont think its any better on release, probably worse actually. I wouldnt have such issues with it if reloading the game didnt take thirty years to complete. Poor Shadowheart made a jump only to glitch out and plummet several stories mid way.

I rewrote the part where Scourge and Sonic have that "Just like me convo" so it can fit my au of them.
____________________
Fiona cheating on him with his anti didnt make Sonic angry..
Fiona actively lying to him didnt piss him off, maybe annoyed him..but it didnt piss him off.
What did piss him off however was how she antagonized Amy and Tails, and how she seemed to preen at the slightest attention Scourge gave her..because she wanted someone to protect her..someone to care about her, he didnt know..and what set him off was how she slapped Tails away, mocked him for crying and all to impress his anti!
"What the hell Fiona!?"
Sonic snapped, though this just caused the vixen to roll her eyes before she looked at him..god her attitude was grating his nerves,
"What?" She mused as if she didnt just slap his best friend for no reason,
That ..that made him scowl, and without warning he moved- he wanted to actually..throw her, her attitude annoyed him, her disregard for his friends pissed him off- he hadnt accounted for Scourge actually protecting her, as when he moved..so did the green hedgehog and before he could touch Fiona a fist crushed into his cheek causing him to let out a sharp grunt and lose his footing for a brief minute, instantly turning his attention towards Scourge..he still had that same sleazy smile..taunting.
"Bad move, blue."
Scourge drawled out, and Sonic just clicked his tongue watching as Scourge slowly paced around him..hes been itching to fight him for who knows how long..that much Sonic knew, but Sonic just hummed,
"Oh so you can help other people besides yourself, I was beginning to worry you had no redeeming qualities!" He stated sounding visibly amused,
Scourge just scoffed lowly, "Please, thats not a redeemin quality, raise your standards." He sneered, and without warning he ran forward..and the fight began.
Amy had since charged at Fiona but Sonic could barely focus on that as Scourge kept matching him blow for blow..only thing was Scourge was a lot more violent..a lot more aggressive.
It wasnt everyday Sonic worked up a sweat fighting an opponent as not many people matched his speed..Shadow and Metal were the only ones..now Scourge had been added to that list of people that seem to want to kill him for no reason.
"Jeez its hard to believe someone so bitter could be me, like damn dude, did your favorite jacket get discontinued?"
Even during this fight Sonic didnt stop being taunting, as he landed on top of a rock- narrowly avoiding being kicked into a tree, watching as Scourge turned towards him, his eyes were surprisingly still shielded by his shades but Sonic could still feel him glaring at him,
Scourge moved again and this time he successfully swiped Sonics legs from underneath him and when Sonic fell the blue hedgehog instinctively moved to the side as Scourges fist came crashing into the floor were his head had previously been,
"Lets see you keep makin jokes when I break your fuckin legs." Scourge hissed- despite his words he sounded delighted by the thought, pleased with the thought of hurting him and hes use to this from Shadow and Metal, they were both assholes who worked with Eggman on their worst days and they just genuinely didnt like him that much but Scourge? Theyve only met three times before this and he didnt remember antagonizing the male enough to make him want to hurt him that much-
Scourge charged forward once more and Sonic quickly moved to the side, arm pulling back before he crashed his fist into the side of Scourges face as he had done to him earlier..knocking the shades from his face which caused his anti to pause briefly, glancing down at the shades for a millisecond as they landed on the floor, cracked and lopsided.
That millisecond was soon forgotten as Scourge retaliated..his body moved lower and his leg rose before he kicked Sonic straight in the chest causing the male to grunt, stumbling back at the force but the kick wasnt enough as Scourge had soon punched him in the stomach,
"God- I still got a few more jokes- first, those shades were lame anyways- not a joke but a fact!"
Sonic stated quickly, jumping out of the way from Scourge once more as the male just growled,
"Im not takin shit from someone who thinks 'Way past cool' is a thing people actually say!" Scourge retorted,
"Hey people said it before!"
"No ones ever said that shit before!"
It went on like this for what seemed like a few minutes with both of them arguing with each other, Sonic just wanted to see exactly why Scourge was going out of his way to hurt him- even trying to actually break his leg if he was given the chance..the rage was so weird..he knew antis were different but he didnt expect his anti to be so..angry, so violent- his anti seemed more like a very verbal Shadow with the way he kept attacking him,
"Ya know being an asshole isnt as rewarding as ya think it is right?"
Sonic questioned- grunting when he got into a tree, thankfully avoiding Amy as she chased Fiona around still, she had tried to help but Fiona kept distracting her.
"Pfft, its more rewardin than wastin my time saving a buncha useless dicks who dont deserve it!" Scourge replied, sounding amused by the sheer thought of saving someone else...Sonic couldnt imagine not wanting to save people..yeah sometimes he thought some people didnt deserve it but still,
"Youre still a Sonic! Still me- you should want to at least try and help people!"
"Why? Cuz thats what you do?"
Scourge just laughed and without warning he moved forward..punched him in the stomach, then his chest- he didnt wait for a retaliation as he kicked him into a tree, he found with the purpose to bruise and scar while Sonic fought to distance and distract-
His head spun for a split moment, the wind knocked out of him,
"You dont get it! Rulin people with fear and hate, is soo much better than tryna be some glorified saint!"
Scourge stated, his eyes were blazing..the rage was back..he looked nothing like him right now..something was off, Sonic didn't like how unhinged he was, how cruel-
"That isnt true, and it never will be."
Sonic declared and Scourge just sneered at him, laughing, fist pulling back as Sonic quickly moved from his spot, his knuckles slammed into bark instead of Sonics nose,
"When you finally realize not everyone deserves to be saved, when you see how much more freein it is to be above people than to depend on them- you'll be like me, all it takes is one bad day, one bad situation and you'll see that." Scourge hummed out, side stepping as Sonic went to kick him, only to have his leg grabbed and he was forcefully thrown down, causing him to grunt lowly, and without warning Scourge stepped on his chest, Sonic could only stare at him for a brief moment before he just grinned-
"Thats where your wrong dude, a bad day doesnt just make someone a villain..but a good day? A good day could change a lot, all it takes is someone showing you an ounce of kindness, someone showin you the love you never got and you'll be like me, a good person..maybe even a hero." He stated, grinning.
He expected another mocking laugh instantly, expecting Scourges foot to press down but for a brief minute..the green hedgehog paused, eyes widening ever so slightly, and for that minute Sonic was sure he got to him..he knew deep down Scourge wasnt evil, he could just show him he didnt have to be like this, he could help him..he didnt know anything about his anti besides the fact something was severely wrong with his mental state and he took too much enjoyment in hurting him but he knew he wasnt evil.
Then.. the green hedgehog just smiled, his expression hardening as if it hadnt changed in the first place,
"How naive."
He sneered and that slowly shattered Sonics hopes of getting through to him..he just dismissed his words-
"Not naive..hopeful." Sonic retorted, moving his arm to grab his ankle but his foot had moved towards his neck and Sonic jolted- the malice in his eyes was so..floundering..he could never imagine that look on his own face.
"Same thing." Scourge stated dismissively, and Sonic didnt get the chance to reply as a blur of yellow and brown crashed into Scourge, pushing the older teen to the ground successfully allowing Sonic to sit up instantly,
"Get away from him you bully!" Tails screamed, Sonic heard Scourge cursing and soon Tails was thrown back, causing Sonic to quickly move to catch him.
"Thanks bud." Sonic murmured, staring at Scourge who just fixed his jacket- appearing inconvenienced as Fiona neatly landing besides him as Amy ran up next to Sonic, "Stop running you coward!" The pink hedgehog hissed, Scourge just plucked out a warp ring from his jacket, just smiling at Sonic.. His smile was so..mean looking, it was too sharp..too fake,
"Til next time blue."
Was all Scourge said in a sing song like voice as he let Fiona into the portal first and he followed quickly after just as Amy chucked her hammer in their direction, who she was aiming at specifically he had no clue.
"Dammit! Stupid! Assholes, ugh!" Amy screamed, storming over to snatch her hammer up,
"Theyre such bullies! Why did I even like her!" Tails exclaimed, Sonic just frowned before he sighed quietly, glancing from Amy to Tails.
"Lets just go, theyre gone now, might as well enjoy the peace." He stated with a simple shrug, giving them a small smile, the smile made Amy visibly melt while it comforted Tails slightly, the young pink hedgehog was at his side instantly, clutching his arm- which he allowed for the time being while Tails was a little slower to approach him, still dejected.
He knew his anti despised him but he'll never get the reason why, and unfortunately..Scourge was too far gone to talk down from whatever path he was taking..the friendly route was no longer an option.

wey hey, it’s a me...a madio here at long last!!! but rlly i’m mads, i’m twenty, and i’m in pst so im almost always fashionably late to things set with est time in mind. my last meal would be chicken alfredo but that feels really wrong bc i’d really love to own a chicken someday....anYWAYS moving on to the serious stuff! this intro is probably a shit show but so am i so it fits...i tried to keep it concise but who rlly knows idk pls plot with me
( NANA KOMATSU, CIS FEMALE, SHE/HER, MUSE M ) did i just see CONSTANCE YAMADA touching down in italy ? rumor has it this 22 year old DIRECTOR is on their way to reunite with the brat pack.
so first thing’s first, as promised, constance has two moms!!! one of them is an actress and the other is an activist (specifically feminist and lgbtq+ rights if that matters) and they’re both extremely well-known within hollywood.
her activist mom is definitely outspoken on social issues and she taught constance to be too, so the family is definitely known for pushing buttons in hollywood if only because they voice their very strong opinions VERY loudly. she probably had a lot to do with herself and her wife being ostracized in hollywood, or otherwise branded as brats. her actress mom, however, is much more soft spoken and was once probably an america’s sweetheart type. she’s a classic beauty, an actress that had so much potential until her reputation began to dwindle. she still acts, though in much smaller projects, and appears to be happy simply maintaining a home life (spoiler alert, she’s cheating). she taught constance humility and self-love
her mothers are so loving to her and to each other that she’s definitely a big romantic, however she’s also extremely naive so i’m sure that will pose a lot of issues in terms of plots and whatnot. she literally grew up witnessing true love at all times and is so in awe of her mothers’ relationship that she strives to have something just like it
sPEAKING OF NAIVETE! constance’s mothers actually shielded her from the spotlight until she was about 15!! her parents were really nervous about putting her in the limelight because they didnt want her to have a fate similar to theirs (the blacklisting and public humiliation of being branded) so they kept her life as private and “normal” as possible. rather than having a private tutor, she simply attended private schools so that she could have a semi-normal social life. her parents were very cautious about who she spent time with, which led her to be a bit sheltered. she had lots of friends, but she was never allowed to go to their houses and they needed extensive screening before being allowed at hers, so it was easier to just keep her friendships at school. it wasn’t until she got to high school and made the choice to insert herself into the media that the world truly met constance, and she’s been basking in the hollywood glow ever since
being lonely is actually part of what ignited her passion for film. she had so much free time at home during her early years that she stumbled upon a tub of old movies, as well as the video recorder that was used to capture them. from then on, she was in love and it seemed that no one could pry that camera from her grasp. years 5-10 of her life feature many clips of her moms’ double chins and feet, the angles of a girl too small to see the rest of the world.
i like to think that the first real paparazzi pictures ever captured of her and published across the nation featured her at a rally with her moms, holding a sign and very proudly leading a chant for the right for her mothers to legally marry. she’d been photographed before, of course, but none of them never made as bold of a statement and those pictures are what truly began her entrance into the spotlight, which was extremely intense and trying.
since the world was so desperate to know the daughter of two notorious starlets, it only made sense that they would do nearly anything to obtain that first private interview with her, those first talk show appearances, anything that she had never been able to do before. it was super overwhelming and she very quickly became aware of what vultures the press are
uhhh so yeah basically constance has only really been in the “spotlight” for the last 7 years, but she became very notorious and admired very quickly since her existence had been so “””normal”””” and basically mysterious to the public until then. like her moms posted pictures on their socials, but all of her own were private until then and the media only got to know her on a surface level so it was a drastic change both for herself, but also for the world
i’d like to think her friends, THE BRATS, are what really got her through it like once she started working in hollywood and getting more film projects and running into these ppl and building connections i think constance really would have relied on them as mentors (even if theyre rlly just manipulation her...plot idea ?) and just....ppl who understood what this type of fame was like and understood how crazy this transition was. like she went from eating cereal in the living room w her moms and living her lowkey life to being on magazines and becoming the new “GIRL NEXT DOOR” of hollywood and that’s....a lot
she is a pretty notorious director now like a lot of jobs were kind of just,, handed to her once she started but she proved she had real talent so her entire reputation is something she really built herself bc her moms tried to detach themselves from her career to give her a fair chance to prove herself and her own prestige but like,,, she literally loves filming people and directing them and it’s her whole ass life like she almost always has a film camera and/or an old video camera on her person at all times so watch out for that in the morning ladies and gents she will make u a star
oh and if her career goes south she’s hella gonna go into the adult film industry she’s directing sexy time baby !
i feel like there is still so so much i could tell u all about her but i rlly hope that this sums it up nicely bc it’s getting so long and so ugly....bUT BEFORE I LEAVE I HAVE CONNECTION IDEAS AND ALSO i just wanna say i think she would be on??? pretty okay terms w the bratpack like i know she has select ones she doesnt get along w but theres probably a big part of her thats excited to be back with them and happy to be in milan meeting up with them all again so idk if that changes things but yeah my girl’s naive and loves almost everyone so pls,,plot with mE
CONNECTION IDEAS....just gonna drop some lame ones here rlly quick to maybe get us started
uhh like i said many times, constance is rlly naive, so she’d be super easy to take advantage of. this could be something that happened when she first introduced herself to the limelight, like maybe someone latched on to her bc of how excited the media was to finally know her and they sort of road her coattails, or maybe it’s smth that’s happening as adults. im down for literally any kind of manipulative plots like fake friends, using her for shit, idk just mess her up ig
i think unrequited crushes are cute and i’m sure constance has TONS just bc she’s such a romantic at heart and so eager to have a fairy tale love that i feel like there would be this one person who she’s had a crush on for years who she just...keeps going back to bc she thinks she loves them and maybe they use her to keep her around or maybe theyve been honest about their feelings and theyre trying to just be friends but things are rocky/she’s just repressing shit idk we could do a lot with this i think
i’d love it if she could just have a best friend bc like...idk i dont want her to have NO real friends u know? good vibes only for constance and ur muse man u feel
she was pretty innocent growing up since she was so sheltered so maybe ur muse smoked her out for the first time when she was 16 and now shes 420 friendly and theyre just smoke buddies or smth i cant believe shes gonna be a stoner now her whole personality i talked about up there? gone. it’s weed central now baby !
does ur muse need a tastefully directed sex tape? constance has their back im not kidding this is my plot idea ur all welcome
this is a novel so im ending it here but i will once again beg that u all come plot with me and love me and disregard these shitty connection ideas bc i KNOW we can come up with truly good ones okay love u all bye
#my gif resources are a little scarce rn so pls bare with me until i make my own#bratsintro#oh i talked about weed in this a little so possible drug tw love u guys <3

Fuckinghell i got to That Part in USUM and it was even worse than i expected
Kfuckinh fuck i alreadyhated lusamine cos i hadan abusivemum like that in real life but this time i wanted to fucking stab her actual eyes out with my thumbs! How can a bad writing flub trigger such a huge ass panic attack in me!! Am i really that pathetic!! God im just sitting with my face in a fan cos im overheated as fuck i was all fight or flight mode just about hitting the A button and knowing the next scene i get will be Somehow Lusamine Was Right, in the place of the execellent callout scene lillie got in the original. So much actual detailed analysis of child abuse and now NOPE ITS OKAYMOMMY HURT U FOR A GOOD CAUSE
And what i hate so much is that they didmt even completely rewrite it! This isnt even an 'alternate universe story' where lusamine was a good mom, which would already be problematic in context but at least there'd be an excuse for it. Nah instead they just left in all the foreshadowing leading up to her being abusive and all the scenes of her being a fucl but just at the last second its ok cos something something necrozma.
Things that are still canon in this universe:
lillie and gladion ran away from their mother and nearly died on the streets and all that
Lusamine still controlled how much they acted and looked and etc that lillie has anxiety over picking her own damn clothes in a shop (and gladion mentions the same in an optional dialogue that also wasnt removed)
"Oh no its a big reveal that aether foundation is evil and working with team skull and they kidnapped lillie and now u have to fight thru an entire foundation full of evil murderous adults and also faba the fuckmeister supreme"
Lusamine wants to murder cosmog to open an ultra wormhole and laughs about it
Lusamine has an entire fuckin secret room full of pokemon corpses preserved in ice so they'll 'stay beautiful and never disobey'
Lusamine tells her kids theyre disgusting for disobeying her and she doesnt love them and never did and also they are selfish cunts for daring to want to be not abused
Then she fuckin attacks them, and you fight
Fuckin ALL THEY CHANGED was that at the end shes like 'but i do it cos necrozma bad and i was really save world'. And the writers seem to think that this somehow justifies her actions rather than just making her an equally evil equally abusive person who just has a dumb knight templar reason for why she thinks she's in the right. Like maybe you could say this would make her more redeemable in the end, i guess?? Like if she actually had a proper redemption plotline you could use this as a springboard to jump off in order to create that plotline. That she was once good and her evilness is a very specific sort of 'murder and hate is justified because my purpose is so important' kind of thing, which should honestly have led to her personality being entirely different and written entirely different. But you still actually have to write a redemption route! Shes not just suddenly good because she has a motive for being evil! And shes not even as redeemable as the other villain bosses, if we only hear about her 'good reason' AFTER we see her do everything evil! And her evil is so much more personal than the other bosses! Like maxie and archie were still likeable eveb before their VERY EXTENSIVE AND WELL WRITTEN redemption plot, because their evil plot was abstract and nonsensical ('destroy world') rather than actual detailed real life crimes to characters we care about. Abd very manipulative and deliberate ones! Maxie and Archie had it established very early on that they THOUGHT what they weredoing would improve the worls even if it was obvious they would actually destroy it. Lusamine didnt abuse her kids accidentally or because of a mistake, the only way she thought she was doing the right thing is that she thought her kids were ungrateful evil fucks who deserved being hurt because they MERELY WOULDNT OBEY HER EVERY WHIM! And we see this from the perspective of the kids who are very much just goddamn innocent kids and very much show actual realistic ptsd symptoms and relateable stories of abuse. So yeah lusamine already starts at a higher tier of villainy that would require more redemption than archie and maxie, even if you can technically say 'maybe her plan to beat necrozma via pet murder and child abuse might actually work'. (Or, in the origonal, that technically her plan was just to fuck off to another dimension of obedient mindless slave jellyfish and never come back, which is technically less wprld damaging than the hoenn guys.)
And just MANNNN what i really hate is that they didnt remove anything except like.. The parts where you sympathise with the kids. I feel like the scene of lillie at the clothes shop early on and the dramatic break in to aether paradise were just left in out of laziness more than anything. Like theres a lot of stuff that seems 'oh we have to do that cos thats how it went last time, but lets half ass it and rewrite the dialogue shorter and rush to my New Bits'. I feel like if someone played this first before sun and moon then half of the plot wouldnt make sense! But why did they choose to leave in just enough that it made lusamine still look like a monster, if she never gets her comeuppance!!!
And man i really fucking hate how they rewrote lillie and gladion during the big plot swrrve into LUSMINE HAD GUD REASONS 2 DO THE THING. Lillie says barely anything and gladion is suddenly all 'please stop because I CANT LOSEYOU ASWELL AS DAD, MOM' not fuckin please stop because you are murdering nebby and you just told me you dont love me. Andthen hebegs her to take him with her to fight necrozma becauseits type null's destiny to be a beast killer?? When just five seconds ago hehad unchanged dialogue about how he saved type null becauze he saw it was born and raised to be what its 'parent' wanted it to be, just like how lusamine abusively raised him. Like fuckin entire story about him escaping to be himself and give this lil frankendog a chance at a real normal life, just WHOOOSH right over the new writer's head...
And then THE FUCKIN WORST BIT is that they kept the same scene of lillie sleeping in lusamine's bed but changed all the dialogue to just 'i'll sleep here' *scene ends* rather than 'i remember when i used to sleep in her bed after nightmares when i was like five and thats the last time i can remember that it felt like she actually loved us, i need to sleep here again to say goodbye and steel myself to fight to save the world next time we see her'
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha nuance what is that complexity who is she never heard of her
Fuck that scene was so relateable cos thats literally what i did the day before i ran away from home.fuck you for removing it.
Fuck this game really is like a weirdass rom hack some other guy did of a game he didnt understand. It at least makes me feel better to know it was directed by a different team and isnt considered the 'final full version' like platinum and emerald and stuff. I felt practically gaslit when i was tryong to reconcile the idea someone could write a complex analysis of child abuse and then unwrite it as if it was never important. Was it never really intended to be abuse at all and i was just imagining it?? But nah no its just someone else handling the expansion pack for a game and turning it into an 'alternative story' with his different lame motiveless Bad Legendary villain cos somehow he didnt think the original was good enough. Fuck, it was the most emotional most terrifying villain boss of all time, fuckin geez what is wrong with you!
GUZMAAAA WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUUU
oh yeh did i mention that also Still Exists but the npc thats implied to be his abusive dad has his dialogue slightly rewritten to be 'my kid ran away on a pikemon journey and beat me' not 'i beat my kid but he beat me back'
God fuck u fuck this fuck EVERYTHING what goddamn motives do you have for removing a goddamn How To Spot Child Abuse manual for kids in game form. THIS ENTIRE PLOT WAS SO IMPORTANT IF I SAW THIS AS A KID I WOULDNT HAVE TRIED TO KILL MYSELF
gahhhahahahhhhh
#bunni struggles through usum#man but ive seen the vids of the new director and the old dorector goofing around in interviews and they seem to be friends?#so man i feel bad being mad at him#i bet it was probably more like just laziness in rewriting a new story and npt understandong the accidenatl implications#rather than deliberate censorship or clusamine was right' messages#ehhhh#just please dont do this again pokemon#this is the worst thing pokemon has ever done and it made me want to quit playing way more than any amount of 'bad icecream pokemon' ever#im like wow why did i ever complain about anything else before this

God of War 2018 Review (SPOILERS)
What seemed to be something of a walk from point A to point B while talking in a dramatic tone style reboot, Dad of War is a legitimate happy surprise that offers a lot more past its TLoU inspired surface. To be frank I was dreading this game because of all the articles on it prior to its release. With reviews hyperfocusing on how mature the story apparently is (it isn’t really) I was expecting it to be a pretentious semi-movie with very limited and boring gameplay. BUT NOPE! The gameplay has a ton of stuff going for it and I very much appreciate all the cool shit in the game so here we go!
Gameplay
o Combat
The game utilizes a trigger button style layout with R1 being light and R2 being heavy. L1 to block and parry and R2 aiming your weapon for a light/heavy throw. One could say its inspired by souls but this layout makes sense because previously Kratos attacked with face buttons and did spells/ranged attacks with the trigger button, but this game is more up close and personal with its combat. This isn’t saying that there isn’t any souls inspired things but I see it mostly in the setting which I’ll evaluate later. Holding the left stick and pressing X allows kratos to evade, double pressing X has him roll. His roll is much shorter and not a gymnastic-tastic style roll he had in previous games; Kratos is getting older y’know. Square is the boy button, its where in combat Atreus fires his arrows either via aiming them with L2 or the enemy you have locked onto. Circle is for interactives. Directions buttons are for cycling through weapons or arrow types. Pressing R3 can lock on. Locking on can be finicky because the lock on can break or if the enemy breaks away from your gaze it’ll unlock. This can be frustrating fighting very mobile enemies, it’s as if the camera is an enemy itself.
Rage meter from previous entries returns, as you fill up the meter via attacks you can unleash a mode where you do hefty damage, regenerate health, and take zero damage. However you will be melee only but youre slightly more mobile and can make yourself more effective with upgrades.
Enemies are following: Draugr, Dark Elves, Nightmares, Tatzelwurm, Wolves, Revenants, Hel-Walkers, Reavers, Wulvers, Ogres, Trolls, Travellers, and ancients.
Draugrs and Hel-Walkers are the most diverse type of enemies with having variants of mobility, tanky or fast, and weapon type. Some will carry shields, act as archers, or dual wield. These foes are the most common enemies.
Dark Elves are flying enemies that can shoot projectiles and inflict debuff that can limit your vision or cause a flash. A unique type is a summoner which can call about two more elves until he his killed. The toughest form of this enemy are the Dark Lord Elf which has a larger health bar and stronger attacks
Nightmares are the weak projectile firing enemies that can be more a hassle than a challenge. Often Nightmares can posses enemies and give them fast regen, strength, and speed. So when you see them take em out!
Tatzelwurms are enemies that can burrow underground then spring up to attack. Use arrows to keep them from escaping.
Wolves are fast enemies than can hold you place with bites
Revenants are the most frustrating enemies as they will evade your attacks and move far away from you spamming projectiles that inflict poison status. Theyre deceptively strong with some attacks taking huge chunks of your health. Use arrows right before attack to keep them from doing their evade. You will learn to hate them will all your might.
Reavers are weak human types. They will mostly be projectile lobbing enemies and sometimes have a heavy type that can regen health while doing a pose standing stll.
Wulvers are werewolf type enemies that will have fast high damage attacks and can take a hit. They will have 2 or 3 at a time and can overwhelm you. At certain low health threshold they will go into berserk mode that will increase their speed and damage. They are mid to late game enemies that put you to the test.
Ogres are very reminiscent of the cyclops from the previous games where at a certain stun, the can be rode and made to attack other enemies. Focus on them first to use them to clear out other enemies.
Trolls act like a sub boss and carry a large rectangular pillar. They will come in different flavors: cold, hot, and hel. You’ll encounter them often and it can get lame since they’re used so frequently as the sub boss and not other types of big epic monsters.
Travellers are unique humanoid enemies that carry large heavy Asiatic swords that will wreck you. These will often be optional enemies that you can fight for good loot. Sometimes they’ll be a sub-mini-boss but those ones are weaker.
Ancients are also optional hard enemies that are too simple. All you do is wait for them to open their chest and throw your axe. They have good drops but are boring to fight. Travellers at least will have two variants but if you fight one ancient you’ve fought em all.
Enemy bars come in different colors to indicate difficulty aswell as a level number. Green means easy, orangish brown (me bad at colors) indicate hard, and purple means come back later chump. A skull accompany the purple bar means dude don’t bother you will get owned so hard in front of your son. Beneath the bar is a stun meter, build up stun to do an execution on weaker enemies and a high damage attack for stronger enemies.

Kratos can acquire and use runic attacks which have a heavy and light attack. They’re sorta like specials and are influenced by your runic and cooldown stats. They’re very useful in fights when youre being overwhelmed or have a very tough single enemy.
o Arrows
Atreus will get two types of arrows: electric and blue magic. Electric inflict a shock status effect which can cause an enemy to be paralyzed, useful against enemies that can dodge easily. Blue magic inflicts more stun and can cause a weaken status effect which weakens duh. Upgrade Atreus’s quiver to hasten his arrow reloading and his bow to do more arrow damage.
Atreus is a badass lil squirt, he can disable enemies but choking them with his bow. Atreus can trip enemies and whack him with his bow. Prioritize his leveling so that he can make fights much easier and fluid.
o Armor
Kratos has 3 armor slots while Atreus has 1. Each set of armor can affect your stats of Strength (DMG), Runic (Runic DMG), Defense, Vitality (Health), Luck (perk activation chances, xp earning, hacksilver earning), and Cooldown. Chest, arms, and waist armors can be found or crafted. Progressing in the story unlocks more recipes. Overall the ones you craft are often better than the ones you find in chests.
Upgrade armor at the shop to unlock enchantment slots which can either enhance the stats given by the armor or balance out the stat boost provided. This makes the approach to combat more diverse and can be tailored to one’s liking.
Loot has levels of common, rare, legendary, and epic. Obviously the higher the rarity the more resources needed to upgrade. This is problematic when the game ends and you do not feel obliged to fully max your armor unless you’re fighting the valkyries
o Talisman
Talismans are equipable doodads that can boost your stats and the more legendary talisman the better, since it will allow you to do another move of L1 + Circle. These can have high or low perk activation which can a huge beneficial passive, for example cooldown reduction occurs after successfully blocking. That kind of thing
o Weapons
Kratos for the first half holds the Leviathan Axe, a nice frost flavored axe that after upgrading can inflict frost status affects. Hurl your axe then recall it with a very satisfying axe return animation. Down the upgrade path, you can unlock a stance switch which allows the axe to twirl like no other all around kratos making fighting big groups of enemies much more easier.
Surprise! The Blades of Chaos make a return by being the second weapon of choice. Much like the Axe, the Blades are elemental giving a burning effect. The blades have two other puzzle/clearing of rubbish. Hel-brambles can be burnt off to get to chests and the blades can be imbued with the Hel-Wind Energy to power mechanisms to solve puzzles/open chests. The Blades’ upgrade path involves a stance switch where instead of being more ranged, you get up close and personal with fiery stabs.
Unarmed combat is actually quite viable. Punch enemies to build stun faster than axe swings or blade slashes. This involves upgrading the shield which can add to the punish that comes with a successful parry.
Both weapons have pommels that can be upgraded much akin to armor upgrades. However, they do not have enchantment slots, that’d be too much girth!
o Summons
The BOY can summon spectral animals that help clear the wave. The summons have varying degrees of Stun, Damage, and Runic. One summon, squirrel finds consumables (health pickups or rage builder) and will talk mad shit to you!
o Valkyries
Valkyries are optional super difficult bosses. Find 8 scattered across the realms. Each Valkyries shares similar moves, but has a general gimmick to them or attack pattern that’s easy to follow. Beat all 8 and put them back on their thrones to unlock the HBIC Sigrun who has all their moves and will kick the crap outta ya until you’re like super mega kratos and then you might have a chance kid.
They drop good loot and have probably one of the best armors and pommels in the game, so you should take on the less difficult ones in order to make later sections easier so you can feel BIG! Overall, I like the idea of this optional content. It puts the player’s skill to the test and has high rewards for beating them. Very satisfying stuff I gotta say.
Setting
o Midgard
The majority of this game takes place in Midgard as it’s the biggest zone you can explore. The game isn’t open world but has open zones if that makes sense. When I think open world, I think something like a skyrim or MGSV and this is more akin to arkham asylum or nier2. In the center is the lake of nine which has Tyr’s Temple smackdab in the middle. In the radius of the temple are the towers that represents the realms. On these towers have realm tears which can hold difficult enemies or straight up realm dust that can be used to upgrade talismans. There are plenty of side areas that you can clear to get loot. Invest time exploring the side areas to increase your overall BIG.
o Alfheim
Elf-land, the first other realm you visit. It’s the third largest zone, where you visit and once you solve all the optional areas you don’t really have reason to go back unless you’re doing the Valkyries, maybe DLC? Possibly? Hope so.
o Musphelheim
Trials hot world, here you do combat challenges for fire loot where you can upgrade legendary and epic items. This is good for bettering your playing habits and increasing your hugeness. This adds to the continuing of playing, not replayablity I’ll get into replayablilty later.
o Niflheim
Musty land. Here you can explore this challenge area with respawing lootchests and enemies. You have a timer that once time is up your health takes huge DoT. Replenish your timer by having the right gear and opening up chests. This is another way to continue playing the game out of seeing how well you can do a run or getting loot to upgrade your Valkyrie gear.
o Helheim
Helheim is the second biggest realm that serves more of a story purpose than more side content. Here you will use your blades than axe. This area is more of a character building and story progressing area as after you finish you have no real reason to go back unless again your taking on Valkyries.
o Jotunheim
Technically a long playable cutscene where you wrap the game story up. See the devs flex on you because this area serves as an indicator of future titles. Eh area.
Story
The real question around this game is, “IS GOD OF WAR MATURE NOW?” well….. yes and no. Yes, as its left behind the more edgy early to mid 2000s aesthetic of the previous entries. However, all this game does is follow almost every trend it can possibly follow. It does retain its own identity by having Kratos in it so theres that I guess. The story itself is very basic, its not this groundbreaking video game story but since the medium is fulla chumps who actively avoid games like yakuza or nier or hell even new vegas for western titles.
I do however appreciate some aspects like how its one continuous shot no cuts, it adds to the games’s immersion and I just think its neat. I do like how the setting is this empty desolate world where the actions of the gods have affecting the mortals and how no matter what they do the apocalypse is going to happen. You don’t see Odin but the game does a good job of telling you this is all his fault. How his paranoia and desperation to prolong the eminent is what caused the end to happen.
Characters
o Kratos
How’s Kratos? Still a bit peeved. I attribute Kratos cold almost aloof personality to that his wife died. It’s implied that the wife was the one leading him and without her he’s lost. Kratos is generally cynical and borderline nihilistic, he hates the world and no matter where he goes he has to deal with gods in power. We do not see Kratos’s “change” from old Kratos to this Kratos, instead we’re introduced to this new Kratos who’s still mad but clearly changed. Why don’t we see this arc? Because Old Kratos is very difficult to make likeable.
Old Kratos was a violent unnecessarily cruel buttmunch. One can argue he’s like that because he’s not been given what was promised for his ten years of service which is ending his nightmares. For ten long years for every time he dreamt he had to see his wife and child be murdered at his own hands. Retconning has seen the blame been shift of Kratos but let’s just say hey Greek tragedies just do that have tons of family murder ie Hercules. The game doesn’t pretend he isnt without sin because they reiterate “you cant hide from your past asshole” and kratos realizes that he and Atreus must “Be Better”
We see Kratos gradually warm up to his son and lighten up a bit. His reasoning for his coldness is to try to speed up Atreus’s grow up. The world is mean and cruel and Kratos is not good at this being a dad see his previous kid.
I generally like this New Kratos, he’s tired but loves his son. He’s stern, strict, reasonable, and much less impulsive. He still breaks shit but HEADCANNON what if Kratos is the Greek god of Destruction. Sure Perses represents destruction, but think about Kratos has sorta caused the Greek world to end and now has brought about Ragnarok. Just something to think about.
o Atreus
BOY. Atreus is a good boy, being the perfect foil for Kratos. The optimist to Kratos pessimist. We see Kratos teach Atreus to be more discipline and Atreus teaches Kratos to have some hope and not expect the worst.
This must’ve taken a lot of effort to make a child character likeable and not grating. He’s well done for the most part (barring the reveal that hes a god and his character switches for a good minute like what the fuck). But I like the boy. I like how you can attribute his bad decisions to being a child who had good intentions. He’s smart but is naiive. He’s frustrated because he feels that he’s capable of doing more than Kratos assumes. I like the dynamic and boat convos they have.
o Mimir
Mimir, god of knowledge’s head accompanies the duo by giving you lore and background to almost everything mentioned in game. He acts a something to clear the awkward silence between kratos and Atreus have since kratos doesn’t like talking for stretches or at all.
Between him and Helios, hes the better head.
o Sindri and Brok
Your merchants/blacksmith who will give you side quests. Sindri the germaphobe and Brok the danny devito. Funny guys that serve as a break from all the drama.
o Freya
Freya is first the witch of the woods who helps the duo with getting around or healing. She’s revealed to be Freya much to Kratos chagrin. Kratos assumes all gods are jerks, but she serves as example that not all gods are selfish assholes (but a lot of em are). She is from the vanaheim realm which could be DLC land as they tease it in game. Also her actress is SMOKIN!
o Magni and Modi
At first I thought Magni was thor but the 2/3rds of the game boss duo. These guys are very basic and are just there for you to kill or lay pipe not that kind the plot kind.
o Baldur
YO this is a good villain. Baldur in norse mythology is a god who can’t be killed by anything, but with that he can’t die and cannot feel anything ANYTHING. He cant starve and doesn’t need to eat and if he did he doesn’t taste anything. His existence is pointless in his eyes he’s beyond bored. He’s moody because of this and is longing for something. Freya (his mom who loves him very much) justifies his condition because she did it out of love, but that overprotection brought him misery. I like how his design reflects that, it’s in snowy-ass Scandinavia yet he’s shirtless and barefoot. He’s scrawny because he’s malnourished. He looks exhausted because he doesn’t sleep. I like where they went with this character and I very much appreciate it.
Graphics
Games PRETTY OH MY GOD. God of War has always tried to push the limits of the current graphical landscape by being grand and awesome. I remember first seeing GoW3 and thinking wow this is crazy. Hell even GoWA is incredible despite being forgetful. This is incredible you just see the money ooooozing when you look at this game. Great stuff, especially Alfheim.
Overal
God of War was nice surprise, as a fan of the series I was wary of this title but found myself playing this game for hours on end for entire week where I did as much I could and be satisfied. Please play God of War for a good ole time!

Thanks for that Hancock body worship! I know that its physically impossible for him to actually get anyone pregnant, being all ghoulified and whatnot. But if by some miraculous chance he did end up impregnating soul how do you thibk hebwould feel? One day soul goes to a healer or something because of stomach pains/throwing up/ fatigue or she misses more than one period. Maybe the fact that theyre pre-war and havent been exposed to the things everyone else has makes a diffrence in her anatomy.
Sole held onto her stomach as another fresh wave of sicknessstruck through her stomach. Her hands flew up to her mouth as she dived acrossthe room, spotting a bin in the corner and rushing over to it, her fingersdigging into the sides as she threw up. She sat back, leaning against the wallas she wiped the little bit of vomit around her mouth onto her trousers. Shehad gone to Curie for some help, having no idea what was wrong with her. Shethought maybe she’d picked up an illness, one from the Commonwealth.
“Let me help you,” Curie said, holding out her hand as shehelped Sole to her feet, “Come and sit down on the bed,” Curie helped a weak Soleover to the medical bed in the corner, “Okay, let’s start from the beginning, tellme about what is wrong,” Curie picked up a blue ballpoint pen and a clipboard,she was going to use to start taking notes.
“I can’t keep down any food, I’m tired all the time and ithurts, its like I’ve been stabbed in the stomach,” Sole stopped as she watchedCurie jot down some notes on the paper attached to the clipboard, “I can’tremember the last time I had a period. It’s late, I think I must have missedtwo,”
“Okay madam,” she paused picking up a small plastic bottle, “I’mgoing to need a urine sample,” she handed the bottle to Sole who took it andCurie then turned around and picked up a syringe,” and a blood sample,” Solenodded slowly, holding out her arm as Curie carefully stuck the needle into thevein in her arm, drawing blood into the syringe, “It will take a week to twoweeks tops for me to get the results and do some research, until then, hangtight and drink plenty of fluids,”
It had been a week anda half since then…
Hancock helped a frail Sole into Curie’s doctor-office,holding onto her arm as she stepped carefully through the doorway. Curie stoppedwhat she was doing and walked towards Sole, helping her and Hancock set herdown on the bed. Hancock squeezed Sole’s hand as he sat down beside her,lifting it to his lips and kissing it gently as he waited for Curie to get hernotes together.
“Okay, after rigorous testing on your blood sample, I’ve foundthe culprit,” Curie put her clipboard onto the table beside her and rested herhands in her lap, “You’re pregnant,”
Hancock’s grip on Sole’s hand loosened as his heart seemedto slow down in his chest. What the fuck? Had she? She wouldn’t, but how couldshe be pregnant? Hancock got up from the bed and started pacing, he couldn’t lookat her, not after this.
“How?” Sole stuttered, “I’ve only been with Hancock, Ithought…” Sole was cut off by Hancock’s scoff, he stopped pacing and looked inher direction, waiting for her lame excuse, “I don’t understand,”
“It is possible that because of Monsieur Hancock’s differenttransformation into a ghoul, that maybe it didn’t kill or destroy all of hissperm cells, there is a chance a couple cells survived,” she paused, “This factmakes it very rare for him to conceive children but not impossible, maybebecause of your eggs are untouched by radiation, making it easier. It is a onein seven million chance, of this occurring,”
“So, the kid, its mine?” Hancock asked, looking over atCurie and she nodded.
“Yes,”
Hancock had to let the news sink in for a moment, he was goingto be a dad. Him, a dad. He couldn’t quite swallow the feeling of nervousnessin his throat as he tried to fathom what was going on. Sole looked over at himfinally catching his eye. Her eyes flicked down to her hands that were in herlap. He was being selfish, thinking of himself and what he was going to do,what about Sole. She was carrying his child, she’d been extremely sick and herehe was worrying about himself.
“What’s going to happen? Will it be normal?” Hancock asked, movingback over to where Sole sat on the bed, joining her again.
“Right now, it is hard to say,” Curie leaned forward, “We’llhave to monitor Sole closely, make sure nothing goes wrong,” She handed a smalltub to Hancock, “I’m going to need a sample,”
“Heh,” Hancock rubbed the back of his neck nervously as heheld the tub in his hand, “You mean-”
“Yes, I need a sperm sample for testing, so I can get abetter idea of what we are dealing with,” Curie said with a straight face. Solelet out a small giggle as Hancock stuttered. He didn’t think he’d be in thissituation. He was scared and that was completely understandable, he never thoughthe’d be where he was, sitting next to the love of his life, who was carryinghis child. He wanted it, but he never expected it to actually happen. Solereached over and took his hand in hers, squeezing it gently. Little did he know,she was as scared as he was. And they both wished Curie would figure everythingout, their future depended on it.

Changing the Tide: An Avengers Fanfic (4/7)
Summary: Wanda Maximoff is the new girl in town and also reconciling with the death of her twin brother, Pietro. As she starts to navigate her new life she manages to stumble into friendship with a group of teens who are surprisingly similar to her
A/N: This is basically just a highschoolAU for the Avengers without powers.
(Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4) (Part 5) (Part 6) (Part 7)
“Wanda? If you have any questions about any of that stuff let me know,” Bruce said softly, about halfway through class. Ms. Hill had just finished showing some examples and Wanda was furiously scribbling down answers on some of the older worksheets that had being at the bottom of the pile Bruce had given her.
“I’m pretty good at math,” Wanda replied, not looking up from what she was writing.
“Well, one of those papers has a list with all of our phone numbers on it. I uh… made it for you incase you ever need help with anything. It also has email addresses, actual addresses, birthdays um...yeah,” he finished lamely.
Wanda thought about saying that she didn’t need it, then she thought that she could just give it back to him, in the end she just said, “Okay.”
After math class Wanda got up and left before Bruce had a chance to finish packing up his stuff. She walked as quickly as possible to her next class, literature, which was hard to find without anyone’s help.
Once she got there she remembered that Clint had planted his friends in each of her classes. Jane and Dacy simultaneously waved her over to them. Unsure of what to do, Wanda figured it would be best to just sit with them and not start any drama.
When she sat down Jane and Darcy started talking almost immediately about all of the work that she needed to catch up on. By the time class started they had already clued her into the two essays she needed to write and the fact that they were already halfway through Hemingway’s book of short stories and Jane told her that they had discussions every week so she’d need to be caught up to where the class was by Friday. The entire time Jane was talking about Hemingway, Darcy pretended to vomit all over her desk.
Jane shot Darcy a look. “You know he was one of the most brilliant writers of the 20th century, he’s key to the understanding of what culture during his lifetime was like,” Jane told her, matter-of-factly.
“Doesn’t change the fact that he was a misogynistic asshole,” Darcy shot back, crossing her arms over her chest.
Their English teacher gave Wanda a copy of the book and told her that all of the assignments were on the website and that she just needed to have them in by the end of the month to get full credit on anything that she had missed.
They spent most of class going over Hemingway’s style and how it shaped later writers. Unfortunately, English wasn’t one of Wanda’s strong suits so she had a hard time following. Luckily, it also meant that she was so focused that she didn’t have time to think about Jane, Darcy, or any of their friends.
When the bell rang at the end of the hour Darcy offered to walk her to the Physics classroom but Wanda shook her head.
“I have some questions about one of the assignments that I missed that I want to ask before I forget them,” Wanda quickly made up, hoping her excuse would stick.
“I can wait for you,” Darcy offered.
“No, I think I saw it earlier today so I’ll find it easily,” Wanda replied.
Darcy nodded and left the classroom with Jane, Wanda could hear them start up their argument about whether or not Hemingway was an asshole.
After a minute or so she figured the coast was clear so she got up and walked out of the room. She actually found the physics classroom pretty easily, it helped that there was a group of guys in superhero t-shirts talking about the merits of different types of circuits heading in the same direction.
When Wanda walked into the classroom Tony was standing near the door and grabbed her hand before she could even register that it was him.
“Just wanted to make sure that you didn’t sit next to the wrong people,” Tony explained as he wove through the lab tables to one near the corner of the room. Clint was already sitting there, Wanda visibly tensed, Tony glanced at her, confused, but didn’t say anything about it. “Bruce texted me,” Clint said, looking up at her, Wanda couldn’t read his tone as she sat down next to him.
Tony looked confused once again but said something this time, “About what? What are you guys talking about?”
“Nothing, we’re not going to talk about it,” Wanda said definitively. She could feel both Clint and Tony looking at her but refused to look back at them. Wanda had decided during her conversation with Bruce that she wasn’t going to argue with them, she had a feeling she would lose. Instead, Wanda figured that her best option was to ignore them until they finally got the message.
Wanda was in this for the long haul.
“Wanda, please,” Clint said, his voice soft as he leaned toward her. Their teacher was already droning on about frequencies. Wanda tried to tune him out, she even shifter her chair away from him at one point, but Clint was persistent.
Wanda sighed, looked up from her notes and into his eyes, “After class.”
Clint nodded at went back to his work. Wanda tried to pay attention for the rest of the hour but she kept getting distracted, she had never been one for conflict. She kept running through scenarios of what was going to happen.
When the bell rang Wanda had a split second of wondering if she could just take off but she spent too long thinking wishfully so when she snapped out of it Clint had already packed up all his stuff and was waiting for her.
Wanda quickly stuffed her notebook and textbook into her bag and stood up.
“Let's go into the hallway,” Clint said, his face filled with concern. Clint led her out the door near their lab table into a part of the hallway that was more quiet than by the main door out of the physics classroom.
Tony followed them out and stood in between the two expectedly, “So why won’t anyone tell me what’s going on?”
Clint shook his head as Wanda nervously played with the zipper of her sweatshirt, “I think it would be best if the two of us talked alone,” Clint replied.
Tony could sense from Clint’s tone that this was serious and didn’t push it, “Okay,” he said before walking away, “See you later.”
“First of all, I didn’t tell my friends to babysit you, I just thought that since you were new it could help if I introduced you to some people,’ Clint said, trying to make eye contact with Wanda, who was staring adamantly at her shoes.
“Which required you making sure you had someone from your group of friends in every class of mine?” Wanda asked.
“I thought it would help if there was someone who could help get you caught up. It’s not like I changed anyones schedule, I just made sure that one of us were in your classes.”
“And how is that not babysitting me?”
“I’m just trying to be nice to you, I don’t see what the problem is.”
“Everyone here, all of your friends, they treat me like a child. They think that I can’t take care of myself.”
“That’s so not true.”
“Yes it is, no one thinks I’m capable of taking care of myself.”
“They’re just trying to be nice to you, is it really a bad thing that they want to help?”
“Yes! No one was ever helped me before, and I was doing just fine.”
“Your brother wouldn’t have wanted you to-”
“You do not get to talk about my brother!” Wanda cried, “Don’t you dare. You didn’t know him.”
“I didn’t mean to-”
“Just leave me alone, okay?” Wanda said, her voice cracking before she turned and walked down the hall.
Wanda made it to her locked and out of the school and down the block before breaking down, Clint hadn’t followed her and once she was far enough away from the school there weren’t students anymore. Wanda cried quietly into her scarf as she walked. When she got home she went to her room and found the shirt of Pietro’s that she kept in her closet and held it close. She didn’t move from that position until her mom called her down for dinner. Wanda didn’t say much about her first day of school, despite the thorough questioning that her parents put her through. No one mentioned Pietro at the dinner table.
After dinner Wanda went back to her room and set in on her schoolwork. She had to make up for the first week of school and was determined to do it before anyone could try and offer their help. Wanda worded late into the night, she hadn’t been sleeping much as it was so she managed to drill through more of the work than she had expected to, it gave her a well needed distraction.

Who Is Remy Ma & Why Is She Beefing With Nicki Minaj? An Analysis
Between all the breakups (RIP Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom) and Oscar winners accused of sexual assault (hi, Casey Affleck), celeb gossip has been pretty fucking depressing lately. Then the beef between Nicki Self-Proclaimed Queen of Rap Minaj and Remy Who TF Is That? Ma reared its scandalous head again, and we finally have something worth talking about. Buckle up, because the Minaj-Ma feud goes back an actual, literal decade.
Lets start with who tf Remy Ma is, because she hasnt been relevant in mainstream culture since the days of Blackberries and worrying about Britney Spears. Reminisce Mackie, aka Remy Ma, is a rapper and member of the Bronx-based rap crew Terror Squad. I know that all is meaningless to you, so I’ll put it this way. Remember when Fat Joe came out with that song “Lean Back” and it was played at everyone’s bar mitzvah? She was the girl who did the second verse. There ya go.
Anywho, Remy and Nickis stars were on the rise around the same time in the early 2000s. Remy had been nominated for a Grammy and won BETs award for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist in 2005but her career hit a roadblock when she got sent to fucking prison in 2007 for shooting some chick in the stomach. Basically, dont piss off Remy Ma.
Nicki is either brave or kinda dumb, though, because she proceeded to do exactly that. In 2007, before Remy got shipped off, Nicki released the freestyle Dirty Money. She never confirmed whether or not it was a diss track directed at Remy, but it includes the line tell that bitch with the crown to run it like Chris Brown over a Terror Squad beat. We don’t know anything about rap, but even we can figure out who Nicki was talking about.
Remy apparently confronted Nicki at a release party, which isnt exactly starting down a path to friendship. There were also a bunch of rumors that the two were dating, which probably made things even more awk. But before things escalated further, Remy spent the next six years living out and watching her competition get super famous and probably carving a tally of the days until she could finally fire back into her jail cell wall.
The shade fest started soon after, with Remy Ma releasing a song with Fat Joe and my future husband, Ty Dolla $ign, called “Money Showers” in which she rapped, “Bitch claiming she the queen, what? Not hardly / Who the fuck gave you your crown, bitch? Steve Harvey?”
So here’s where shit pops off: On February 23, 2017, Nicki Minaj showed up on Gucci Manes latest track, Make Love, with a verse directed at some unnamed lady rapper who definitely, absolutely isnt Remy Ma. JK! Nicki obviously meant Remy. Two days later, Remy Ma released shETHER, an entire fucking song dedicated to taking down Nicki.
“You wanna see a dead body” (little kid from BoyzNdaHood voice) @nickiminaj #Barz #AndBARZonly http://bit.ly/2mzbSf9 http://pic.twitter.com/3tA9sukLah
Remy Ma (@RealRemyMa) February 25, 2017
Allow me to break it down for you. Before you even listen to the song, the cover is a dismembered, bloody Barbie. A Barbie, if you’ll remember, has been Nicki’s entire persona since, like, ever. But in case that was too subtle, the track opens with an audio clip of Nicki yelling Free Remy. Remy then goes on to make fun of Nickis ridiculous fashion choices and repeat the phrase fuck Nicki Minaj a bunch to really drive the point home. She even goes in on Nickis ass, which is sacred territory for most of America. Basically, Remy is afraid of no betch.
Nickis response was to Instagram an article about the low sales of Remys last album. Clearly, she recognized this as the weak move it was, because she quickly took the post down. Nicki then Instagrammed a video of Beyonc singing about how great of a rapper Nicki iswhich like, as amazing as Beyonc is, is still a LAME AS FUCK COMEBACK.
she said *bey *bigger
A post shared by Nicki Minaj (@nickiminaj) on
Feb 25, 2017 at 10:58am PST
So far it’s been 7 full days since “shETHER” dropped, and STILL no diss track or any real acknowledgment from Nicki.
Anyone who was alive during the infamous Drake/Meek Mill beef of 2015 (so like, all of us) knows that when it comes to rap beefs, time is of the essence. The longer you wait to release your clap back, the lower your chances of winning this beef are. You would think that the person who would know this better than anyone, so it’s not clear what exactly Nicki’s plan is. At this point it seems like she’s going to play the quiet game and just take this giant L, and honestly, we’re disappointed.
Nicki’s big comeback so far has been favoriting approximately a bajillion negative tweets about Remy from other Twitter users. Celebrities: theyre just as petty as us!
