Good Luck Babe ☆
18+ MDNI
☆ intak x jiung
☆ wc: 4.7k
☆ warnings: loss of virginity, angst, unresolved sexual tension, oral sex, anal fingering, anal sex, sexual exploration, platonic sex
Jiung’s question echoed like a broken record before he could drift off to sleep. Have you ever been with a girl before?
OR
Jiung helps Intak how to kiss girls.
“Why do you have a weird look on your face?” Keeho was standing to the left of Intak, taking a sip out of his red solo cup after asking his question.
Intak kept his head forward, casually crossing his arms over his chest. “Just tired, I guess.”
He desperately hoped Keeho didn't notice how he was holding his breath, needing him to be the last person to know what was actually running through Intak’s mind. He had only just arrived at Jongseob's house party and he was already wanting to shrink himself down or have the ability to turn invisible so no one could see him leave.
He wasn't usually like this, and that was probably why his change of energy was so apparent to Keeho. He had never said no to a party, especially one of Jongseob’s, and yet tonight Intak didn't want to do anything but self loath in his bed as he watched couples grind on each other to the beat of the music.
Keeho lifted his arm to wrap it around Intak’s shoulder, squeezing at the muscle to shake him playfully. “Well, wake up. There's like a gazillion girls here begging to go home with us.”
Intak couldn't hold in the laugh he snorted out. Every time he had gone out with him, Keeho’s overzealous attempt to hook up with anything that walked on two legs usually ended in vain, and Intak knew tonight would be no different. He wasn't even sure if Keeho would be able to count his successful nights out on two hands out of what has felt like hundreds. Intak pushed him off before he could feel his clammy skin.
But he couldn't talk. Intak was no different, worse even. The last time he remembered touching a girl was years ago, too many to count, at his school dance where his sweaty hands left prints on his date's dress. It was like he was at a job interview that wasn't hiring without past experience, Intak not having a clue what to do if he was left alone with someone who was interested in him.
Before he could continue his personal pity party, Jiung emerged from the kitchen holding cups filled with mysterious liquid in each hand. He prompted Intak to take one, basically shoving the drink into his face until he took it into his own grasp. Looking down into the solo cup, it was as if Jiung had collected sewer runoff for the two of them to drink.
“Jiung, convince Intak to help me go talk to those girls over there,” Keeho pleaded, pointing across the room to a crowd of women Intak couldn't directly pinpoint.
Jiung didn't allow the suddenness of Keeho’s request to dampen his hot head. “Why?”
“Why?! Because–, whatever, nevermind,” Keeho grumbled to the two of them, stomping away to get lost in the sea of people.
Intak finally took a sip of his mixed drink, an assaulting flare of alcohol cinching the hairs in his nose as he brought the cup to his lips. There was a strong taste of whiskey, with traces of a soda mixer he couldn't pinpoint. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't good.
“Sorry if it’s gross. I didn't have much to work with,” Jiung tried explaining, making Intak wave off his apologies.
“Don't be. I don't even want to know what it looks like back there,” Intak said, sighing out a laugh.
Their conversation skipped a beat as the music thumped around them. Jiung had taken the spot to the right of Intak, leaning against the wall with one of his legs lazily crossed against the other. Intak watched as he took a drink of his alleged whiskey and coke, sipping at the rim gently. Jiung’s Adam's apple bobbled as he swallowed it down, his expression turning into a grimace when the mixture hit his tongue. As he tilted his head back to face Intak, the liquid sloshed around in the cup, enough for some to escape down Jiung’s face. Intak’s eyes followed as droplets of liquor rolled down his chin before Jiung quickly wiped them away with his sleeve.
“Is there a reason why you didn't want to be Keeho’s wingman?” Jiung asked when there was a pause in between songs.
“You’ve met Keeho. He’s a lot, and like I told him, I’m tired, I–,” Jiung cut Intak off before he could continue his lame excuses.
“Have you ever been with a girl before?” He prodded.
Intak began to ramble before his brain could cognitively reach his mouth. “Yes! Of course I have. What kind of question is that, I’ve been with so many.”
Jiung eyed him in a way that told Intak he saw right through him. Still feeling as though he was caught, Intak’s muscles tightened and breath stopped, losing eye contact so he could stare at the floor. It was a futile attempt to begin with, knowing Jiung was the quickest to see the true intentions behind someone. But instead of continuing to pester him like Intak thought he would, he let him go without further questioning, burning his eyes into the back of his head for the rest of the night until Intak went home.
The party’s energy was still alive in his head when Intak arrived home, music and conversations overtaking his consciousness as he collapsed onto his bed. It was like he could still feel the heat of the room as he got under his covers, the same flushed features appearing whenever he closed his eyes.
Jiung’s question echoed like a broken record before he could drift off to sleep. Have you ever been with a girl before?
It was enough for Intak to shiver in his bed, a chill running down his spine as the embarrassment of knowing how translucent he truly was churned in the pit of his stomach. Tonight the facade he was wanting to play up was beginning to crack, with Jiung seeing through him like no one else had. Even Keeho was oblivious to the truth, always too busy with his own escapades to notice Intak slipping out for the night, alone.
Intak shifted uncomfortably, staring at the ceiling as his reality settled. He looked like a virgin because he was a virgin. All of his countless encounters with the opposite sex didn't matter. All they did was pass him by once he opened his mouth, stumbling over his words and giving them awkward gestures.
He swears he isn't all bad; there had been close calls, with it always being easier when he’d have too much to drink, and he knew his looks could allow him to get away with a lot. He wanted the lie he told Jiung to be real. He didn't want to be bad. He wanted to be good.
Intak’s phone buzzed on his nightstand. His screen had lit up with a message from Keeho, illuminating his once dark room.
Keeho: Where did ur ass fo
Keeho: go
Staring at the messages, his fingers hovered over the keyboard, his immediate intention being to respond. Letting him know he was fine, home, in bed, lying awake as anxiety ate away at his stomach. But he didn't. Tossing his phone to the side and rolling over, Intak closed his eyes to try to quiet down his mind.
When he woke up the next morning, he was only greeted with more messages. A large portion of them were from Keeho, talking into the void before finally realizing there wasn't anyone listening. Scrolling past them, his thumb halted over Jiung’s name.
Jiung: You good?
Jiung: I wasn't trying to make anything awkward last night… just wanted to see if you needed help with anything.
Intak read over his messages again, then once more. Help with anything. He stared at the text, wondering if he should leave Jiung on read like how he had with Keeho, wanting to pretend he never received it in the first place. He didn't even know what help he would need.
Intak: I’m good, thanks. I don't need any help.
He immediately regretted it after hitting send. He didn't know why he ended up responding like that, the pit in his gut growing as an odd mixture of disappointment and embarrassment hovered around him like a fog. Would Jiung be able to see right through him again?
Intak’s phone buzzed in his hand almost instantly.
Jiung: Okay. But if you ever want to practice, text me.
There was no way he read that right. Feeling his heartbeat thump in his ears, Jiung’s texts left Intak more uncertain than he already had been. The admission of his inexperience felt more real, making the words on his phone blur. Practicing. Intak’s stomach did a tight flip.
The implications of Jiung's words were too loud for him to ignore. What did he mean by that? Was he wanting to give him advice, or something else entirely? His questions swirled with the idea of asking Jiung for any kind of help, seeming absurd. What if he was just trying to be nice? Or he was joking, and Intak was reading too much into his messages?
A strange sense of relief washed over him. The idea that Jiung wanted to be there for him without judgment was comforting, while humiliation overcame him as he tried to figure out how to type out a response.
It was tempting to overthink it, to dissect every word and imagine a million different meanings, but the way Jiung so casually offered made Intak realize he really was wanting to help. The idea of pushing him away felt wrong.
Intak: Fine. I’ll take you up on that.
His response wasn't graceful, but it was enough. He pressed down on the send button before he could second guess himself.
Intak felt his heart skip a beat when his phone buzzed again.
Jiung: Cool, we can meet up whenever. My place is free this afternoon.
Allowing himself to pace around his room before throwing on a zip up hoodie, Intak tried shaking off any doubt that was continuing to grow inside of him. His high emotions didn't dissipate until he got to Jiung's doorstep, his fingers trembling to press the doorbell to announce his arrival. Jiung answered with a reassuring smile, his presence breaking down some of Intak’s tense nerves.
Jiung stepped back from the threshold to welcome him inside, greeting Intak with a clean apartment that he had been in many times before. It was different now, an unspoken truth hanging above them as Jiung shut the door behind him. Intak could already feel his cheeks heat up after he offered him a seat.
Taking a spot on the sleek couch that sat in the middle of the living room, Intak began to run his fingernails over his sweatpants mindlessly, picking at the pilled fabric. He wasn't sure what to expect as his mind roamed free, not caring if Jiung could read everything he was thinking on his face.
Intak’s voice was hesitant when he spoke. “I’m not really sure why I’m here.”
Jiung took a seat beside him. Staring down to pick at the skin around his fingers, Intak heard Jiung chuckle softly, his laugh breaking down some of the tension that had formed around them. “That’s okay, you don't have to know. And it’s alright to be confused, we all have to start somewhere.”
“I don't know what I want,” Intak blurted out, finally meeting Jiung’s eyes. His words felt vulnerable, but in a way that didn't make him want to hide. “I don't even know what it’s supposed to feel like. Or how to make it feel… right, you know?”
Jiung was nodding next to him, soaking in his words as though he understood exactly what he meant. “It’s not about being perfect,” he explained. “It’s about understanding what feels good for you.”
His words twisted inside of Intak’s stomach in a not entirely unpleasant way. The idea of practicing with Jiung was intimidating, but there was an odd comfort with his relaxed posture and lack of judgment. Instead of some type of performance, Jiung had taken away the expectations of strangers and parties, eliminating some of the nerves Intak was used to.
“Practice,” Intak repeated quietly, almost to himself. “Is this not weird? I mean, it’s like I’m trying to skip all the..I dunno. The stuff normal people do.”
Another smile tugged at the corners of Jiung's lips. “It’s hard to find normal.”
The idea of being with Jiung this way still felt strange, but it wasn't something Intak was fearing anymore. He was caught in a maze, full of twists and turns, and Jiung was the only one with the map.
“Okay,” Intak breathed. “I trust you.”
Jiung’s smile grew. “That’s all I need from you, trust. The rest we can figure out together.”
Intak wanted to say something back, delay the inevitable, but words weren't necessary anymore. He felt Jiung place a hand on top of his, stilling their continuous fidgeting as a new curious glint sparkled in his stare.
“We’ll take it slow,” Jiung had turned so he was facing him better. Grabbing one of Intak’s hands away, he laced their fingers together, closing his palm into his. “So you’ve never held hands with someone?”
Intak shook his head no. He knew Jiung was just wanting to gauge a starting point, but that knowledge didn't stop the growing blush on his cheeks from turning bright red.
“Sorry, I’ll stop with the questions,” Jiung apologized, his thumb rubbing across the back of Intak’s hand. “Follow my lead, pay attention to what I’m doing,” he explained.
This time Intak nodded, the intimacy that had begun to grow was defeaning when his eyes reached back to meet Jiung’s. He was at his will, giving him his entire attention as Jiung disconnected their fingers so that he could place his hand onto Intak’s cheek. The touch was warm and gentle, pulling Intak closer until Jiung could place his lips onto his.
It was like he had frozen Intak in place, his mouth sitting idle as he felt Jiung purse, trying to find purchase on what he could work with. Removing his lips, Jiung looked as though he was wanting to scold Intak.
“Stop thinking so much, and for the time being, pretending you don't have any teeth,” Jiung instructed, before dipping back down to connect with Intak’s lips.
This time, Jiung’s mouth was more forceful, explicitly pressing his tongue against Intak’s lips until allowing him in. Shakily breathing out, Intak tried to take his advice in clearing his thoughts, doing his best at remembering there wasn't any pressure placed on him. His muscles relaxed, and he found his fingers grazing the back of Jiung’s neck as he began to move his lips.
The kisses turned slow with Jiung eventually allowing Intak to take the reins by moving his lips only when he did, letting him taste his tongue when Intak was the one to lick into his mouth. It was like something had taken over Intak’s body, this unruly lust that was entwined with Jiung that made him need to be impossibly closer. Falling back onto the couch, Intak pulled Jiung down with him by tugging at his hair.
They kissed like that for a while, Intak’s tongue exploring Jiung's mouth while his hands roamed his body. He had started at his neck, reaching his chest to grip his pecs, wondering if he should pretend they were women's breasts. His hands traveled down Jiung’s stomach before resting against his hips, using the leverage to grind up against him.
Up until now, Jiung had been composed, only directing Intak if he was using too much tongue or being repetitive. When Intak had pressed himself against him, he noticed how a quiet gasp escaped him. Pulling away, Jiung disconnected their lips, revealing how swollen his had become. At first, Intak thought he must have done something wrong before feeling Jiung attach his lips to his neck, nuzzling his face to suck and kiss at the skin.
Jiung sank lower and lower, hitching Intak’s shirt up so that he could get to the waistband of his pants. It was like Intak was put on autopilot, not truly realizing what was going on until Jiung pulled at his sweatpants, revealing how hard he already was with tented boxers.
“Wait–, wait,” Intak pleaded, managing to find his voice. “What are you doing?”
“You said you wanted to know what it felt like, right? I’m going to give you a blow job,” Jiung explained, continuing his mission to discard Intak’s clothes.
Intak tilted his head back, Jiung’s words sending a jolt towards the pit of his stomach. Without having to look, he felt how Jiung had freed his cock from his underwear, wrapping his hand around the base to try and steady it as it twitched in his grip. Intak suddenly jerked, feeling a wetness slide up his shaft, Jiung’s flat tongue streaking a fat strip on the underside before dipping his mouth onto the head.
A moan Intak was trying to suppress ripped out from his chest when Jiung continued to lower his mouth, his lips enveloping around his cock. Reaching where his hand was resting at the base, Jiung held his place with Intak’s dick down his throat before lifting himself back up, repeating the motion with shorter strokes, the entirety of it covered in his saliva.
Taking in his entire length into his mouth, Jiung found his rhythm fast as he bobbed his head, intermittently lifting his hand to fist the bottom of Intak’s cock. A ripple of moans and whimpers were beginning to leak out of Intak the longer Jiung fucked him with his mouth, his hips buckling underneath him.
“Jiung, fuck–,” Intak exhaled, lifting his head back up to see Jiung already staring back at him. “You’re going to make me cum.”
Swirling his tongue around the tip, licking at the slit, Jiung bobbed his head once more before removing his mouth from Intak with a pop. Intak watched as Jiung lifted himself from his groin, taking no time to loop his thumbs under his pants, slipping them off along with his underwear. Kicking his legs away so that he could sit next to him, Intak took the hint to sit up, not taking his eyes off of Jiung as he spread open his legs. He lifted one of his feet onto the couch, using Intak’s infatuated gaze to grab at his hand.
“You’re going to need to finger them before you can put your dick in. It feels good for them, but it feels better for you too,” Jiung told him, before taking two of Intak’s fingers into his mouth.
It was warm and wet, with Jiung licking all along his digits to soak them in his spit. When he was satisfied with the amount of saliva coating up to his second knuckle, Jiung took Intak’s hand out of his mouth to guide it down to circle his hole.
Realization didn’t hit Intak until he felt the heat from the soft walls of Jiung’s ass. Jiung had attached his hand around Intak’s wrist, pulling him closer as his fingers sank further inside. His senses had flared, the texture of Jiung's pillowed insides contracting around his wet fingers becoming the only thing he cared about, his attention completely on the way Jiung’s ass constricted and puckered around him.
“Press your fingers–, yes, right there–,” Jiung managed to choke out before a moan took over.
When Intak hooked his fingers up, he could feel how they were met with a firm bulb that was making Jiung gasp and squirm whenever he rubbed against it. The grip around his wrist loosened as Intak found his rhythm, pumping in and out, gauging his touch by watching Jiung crinkle his brow and unhinge his jaw. It was like motivation, making Intak only want to thrust faster.
Jiung didn't tell him to stop until he was out of breath, his neck becoming the same shade of red as his cock. Slipping his fingers out, Intak could hear him lowly whimper, immediately making him think he did something wrong.
“Are you okay? Did I go too fast?” Intak’s voice dripped with worry.
“Don't worry about me, I’m fine,” Jiung reassured him, swinging his feet back onto the couch to place them on either side of Intak. Spitting into his cupped hand, he reached to begin gingerly fist at Intak’s dick, coating it with his saliva. “I’m a lot less fragile than you might think. Get up here on your knees.”
Following his orders like a well trained dog, Intak got himself in between Jiung's legs, instinctually placing his hand on one of his thighs, his fingernails dragging against the muscular flesh. Looking down at Jiung like this was making his head spin; hair a mess, cheeks flushed with his shirt hiked up enough to show off his slim waist and the butterfly tattoos that trailed up his torso. He looked good enough to eat.
“You want me to fuck you?” Intak asked, not realizing how obscene his question sounded until it was out of his mouth. Despite that, he saw how his words made Jiung’s eyes close, licking his lips as he nodded.
Pressing the head of his cock against the hole his fingers had just fucked open, Intak watched as it disappeared inside, swallowing the rest of his length until he was flush against Jiung’s ass. He stayed there, taking the chance to compose himself as he got used to Jiung clenching around him. It was tight and hot, nothing he could have ever imagined.
Intak felt hands graze his butt, resting at his hips. “When you move, remember not to get selfish, don't jackhammer your way to an orgasm,” Jiung cooed in a low voice, ending his sentence in practically a whisper.
Rolling his hips back, Intak thrusted forward for the first time, exchanging gasps with Jiung. None of the advice he was giving him was in vain, but Intak imagined he had watched enough porn to know what to do from here. Using Jiung's leg as leverage, he fucked into him again, making the heat that was pooling in his stomach threaten to spill over. Jiung’s hands had kept in place, guiding him with only a small amount of pressure as Intak continued to drive himself inside of his wet hole.
Intak’s dick throbbed, the feeling of Jiung around him becoming too much, the sensation sending him off to an unknown part of his brain. It was animalistic, uncontrollable as his pace quickened, making him drop his body to allow him to stare down at Jiung. His bangs were slick with sweat and his eyes were heavy, making Intak only want to fuck into him deeper, faster. The sounds that were coming out of his mouth weren't helping either.
“Can I kiss you?” Intak asked before he could stop himself.
Jiung answered by pulling him by the neck to crash his lips onto his. He swallowed Intak’s moans, grinding into him as they kissed to make up for his faltering pace. Nothing mattered in that moment except for the way he felt underneath Intak and how their bodies were beginning to feel like they were molding together.
The kiss was tender in a moment that was anything but gentle. The scalding fire coursing through Intak as his lips moved against Jiung’s, eventually having to break away when he could only focus on one task at a time. He dipped his head into the crook of Jiung’s neck, snaking his hands behind him to lock them together. Jiung moved to swing his legs around Intak, wrapping around him to bring him even closer.
Intak was practically holding Jiung when he came, repeatedly crying out his name while thick ropes of cum painted his insides. It was a dripping hot mess, his cock twitching out the last beads with a hoarse groan until he started to soften. Trying to control his breathing, Intak didn't notice how Jiung was still hard until he was slipping out of him. His first instinct was to reach and grip his hand around him, but he was swatted away before he could reach Jiung’s length.
“Don't worry about me,” Jiung told him, sitting back up to grab his pants that had been discarded on the floor. “This was about you.”
Intak was now sitting on the heels of his feet, watching Jiung with a dazed, baffled expression. He tried reaching for him again. “But you told me not to be selfish?”
Jiung shooed him away by getting up from the couch, slipping the waistband of his pants back above his waist. He turned so he no longer was facing Intak. “I meant when you have real sex, with girls.”
Intak’s face fell, his eyes dropping to the now empty space where Jiung was laying beneath him only minutes prior. His words had snapped him out of his trance, the weight of the situation he had put himself in finally settling. Frantically getting up from where he sat, Intak hastily lifted his pants up, but not before tripping over his feet as he tried to slip the fabric back past his ankles.
Jiung followed him out, keeping his distance until meeting Intak at the door. Turning to say goodbye, Intak finally saw how solemn Jiung’s eyes had become, free of deceit.
“You have nothing to worry about, okay?” Jiung told him, shutting the door of his apartment, leaving Intak in the hallway, alone.
Intak walked straight home that night, his millions of thoughts and questions flooding back once he was alone again. Jiung had done his best at being his tutor, guiding him through the steps of being intimate with someone, and yet Intak felt less prepared than before. He just had anal sex, with a man. Does that even count as his first time? Is he still a virgin? And what about Jiung? He had rushed Intak out so fast that all he had to do was blink, and he was back out on the street facing his apartment.
The next time Intak and Keeho went out, it was different. When Keeho found a girl to flirt with, Intak did too. When Keeho bought the girl a drink, Intak did too. When Keeho left the club to take her home, Intak did too.
Her hair was dark, but not as dark as Jiung's. She was skinnier than him, her small torso looking nothing like his. She has breasts and slim arms with no definition. It was easier than Intak imagined to get her to take her clothes off, only needing to kiss her before she was lifting her top over her head. Her pussy wasn't as tight as Jiung’s ass, instead feeling completely different.
Intak didn't cum as fast as he did with Jiung. It took time, having to patiently wait for the burn in his stomach to ignite. He could tell the girl was getting bored, beginning to lay there, fake moaning with a dull voice. He wished she could fool him.
When he finally did cum, Intak had grabbed her legs together in one hand, swinging them across his shoulder to try and squeeze his cock around her. Shutting his eyes, he didn't feel the ember inside of him spark until he imagined Jiung underneath him, sweating and begging Intak to cum.
When his hips began to sputter from the waves of his orgasm building, he began to think about what it would be like to see Jiung cum. He probably would shake and whine out as he covered his stomach with his own fluids, mewling until he was empty. That was all Intak needed to spill over, cumming into the girl he had met hours prior, only wanting to be in the arms of his friend.

⭐️ Intropost!!
Decided to re make this bc the old one is kinda outdated
first and foremost, if you don’t support Palestine please fuck right off and do yourself the favour of going back to kindergarten. Anyone who somehow still doesn’t believe that what’s happening is a GENOCIDE and thinks that itsnotreal is somehow the victim here clearly lacks all critical thinking skills and would do well with some basic level education. After blocking me first, of course.
Welcome to my blog! :D
My name is August! I like to reblog art I like and posts to do with my current interests. I also like to post mini rants/rambles, thoughts, sometimes I just complain abt minor inconveniences lmaooo. Either way it’s all very disorganized and random because I am lazy :)
Other social medias :3
TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ccosmicstarzz?_t=8q3YbpjIzCA&_r=1
YouTube (where I post guitar covers!): https://youtube.com/@ccosmic.starzz?si=bGq0P0zwvw9ZCrfY
(More abt me below this!)
Basic stuff about me:
He/Him
Trans man
Aroace
Canadian
15 (09)
AuDHD (self dx autism, prof dx adhd)
Bilingual (french + english)
Furry
Guitarist
Artist
My interests/ what I post abt
Huge car seat headrest and 1 trait danger special interest, but otherwise I hyperfixate on something new like once a week so it’s all pretty inconsistent overall.
Music taste
Csh and 1td special interest so bad I genuinely cannot sit down and listen to anything other than csh, 1td, and nym without genuinely panicking 😔 kinda weird tho bc it only counts if I’m the one picking the music??? Like if someone else plays a different artist even if it’s on my phone I’m fine. Idk man autism is weird
(Ps if you’re interested in csh covers check out my youtube channel! I haven’t posted a whole lot on it yet but I plan to be pretty active. The link is way up at the top of this post :3)
Random little fun facts abt me!
I’ve been in my schools choir since grade 7 (so four years and counting)
My favourite colour is green (it occasionally switches to or ties with purple, but green is a bit more dominant)
My favourite song is I Want You to Know that I’m Awake/I Hope that You’re Asleep
I’m half Newfie, half Acadian (grew up in and currently live in Newfoundland so my French isn’t great but it’s good enough to be considered fluent)
My favourite subject is math (never beating the nerd allegations now)
My favourite musical is Hamilton (DEFINITELY never beating the nerd allegations now)
My favourite movie is Brokeback Mountain
My favourite TV show is Community
My favourite book series is Keeper of the Lost Cities
I’m an ENTP (I don’t actually know a whole lot about mbti, nor am I really interested in it, I only know this because we did a whole unit in one of my classes about learning about your personality type to figure out what jobs would best suit you and we did like 5 mbti tests and picked the ones we thought were the most accurate as well as a crap ton of other tests)

Overall, I really liked Payback with one big exception.
Apollo vs Lashley was a great start. I don't normally like Lashley but sometimes he'll just surprise me with a fun match.
Big E vs Sheamus was not a great match, or at least not to my taste. It was sort of lumbering and slow. But the important thing is that E won, he looks like a king and they continue to build him.
Baysha vsShayna/ Nia was the match of the night. Such great performances from all four women and the ending was perfection. Steangely, it reminded me of how Rhea beat Shayna at War Games, turning her opponent against herself.
Corbin vs Riddle. What. The. Actual. Fuck. They made a joke about the #speakingout allegations against Riddle. That is fucking sick. Even if you don't believe his accuser, it sucks because then the story is basically "hey dude, remember when you cheated on your wife and got accused of sexual assault?" I don't even care about the match. Whoever scripted this should be launched into the sun.
Keith Lee vs Randy Orton was a wonderful surprise. I fully expected a screwy finish but they went all in on Lee. The new music still sucks and it looked like he skinned Oscar the Grouch for his costume but the match is the main thing and it made me a happy.
Reyand Dominik vsSeth and Murphy. Excellent match. Put the payback in Payback. Dominik continues to impress.
The Fiend vs Braun vs Roman I've talked about in previous posts. Exactly what it should have been. There has to be a rematch with The Fiend alone.
BUT AFTER THAT... they MUST keep Roman as the monster heel and build Big E as the biggest baby face on SD. Build it for months. Have the big confrontation at Mania if you can. Seriously, if that isn't the direction they go,I'm gonna be pissed.

KELLY CLARKSON - LOVE SO SOFT [6.33] Is this the song about Kels' duvet we've been waiting for?
Katie Gill: I'm so mad this isn't as good as it could be! The verses are amazing, letting Clarkson go full tilt diva over amazing harmonies. This is Clarkson doing her best Back to Basics, meshing a modern pop sound with soft big band era touches. But that chorus! It sucks! The chorus only briefly dips into that amazing brass sound and restrains Clarkson to around four or so notes instead of giving her the big sweeping chorus that she so rightfully deserves. [6]
Stephen Eisermann: In interview after interview, Kelly keeps harping on how the album "Love So Soft" comes from is filled with the songs she's wanted to sing her entire career. Based on how confidently and brilliantly she sings this track, I'm inclined to agree. No longer is her terrific voice stuck in the confines of pedestrian pop-rock tracks (even if some were, admittedly, fun); now, she is free to let her voice and soul out on this groovy, coyly provocative number. I'm here for the awakening of the real Kelly Clarkson and I cannot wait to see what her latest album has in store. [8]
Maxwell Cavaseno: On the one hand, time and time again Clarkson has wanted to go back to the soul-rock well in order to really express herself as a singer, and she isn't the worst at it by any stretch of the imagination. But the fact is, "Love So Soft" is an Aguilera-esque series of rampings up rather than any proper sense of dynamic, and just reminds you that all she wants to do is perpetually crank it up to hit that dramatic high note. [4]
Alfred Soto: The eagerness with which Clarkson slices verses with a vocal gulp recalls adult R&B stalwarts like Jennifer Hudson and K Michelle, but we know what top 40 radio thinks of both. The horns, wandering far afield from a Christina Aguilera record a decade ago, are misjudged. [6]
Scott Mildenhall: Title like a Lenor slogan, chorus like a Ted Rogers riddle. Something soft that you can't rub off -- is it oil? You can't really "break" it, but GCSE science confirms that it can be cracked, and then sold, and thus bought. So Kelly Clarkson's love is oil! And she is like oil to the water of that breakdown, which is something else she should sell and pretend never existed. It's a shame, because at other times she is giving the full Clarkson here in a context that she's very suited to, and hasn't revisited that much since "Miss Independent". [5]
Ramzi Awn: Listening to a Kelly Clarkson song is sometimes like following somebody's tangent to the point where you're not exactly sure what they're saying anymore but it doesn't really matter. Because what matters is that it's Kelly Clarkson, and her voice is strong as ever, and as always, she manages to "catch her breath" and deliver a solid late hook. Particularly at a time when catcalls seem to be the new norm, it's refreshing to hear a throwback single about the softness of love. [8]
Katherine St Asaph: Kelly Clarkson's sound has had enough pivots to rival your local music publication, and some of them, like that song, define their year. "Love So Soft" synthesizes her other two best, which never did: "Walk Away," which lends agitation and raspy high notes, and "Miss Independent," the Christina Aguilera co-write on paper that this is in spirit. Virtually every Aguilera album is underrated (free EMP paper: the predictably gendered gulf in goodwill between Britney and Christina's careers), so the one single a year where the industry emulates Back to Basics always sounds both welcome and quaint. The sole concessions to 2017 tastes are the half-time chorus and maybe the alleged guest spot by still-prolific Earth Wind & Fire. Even the conceit, no matter how well it suits the Kibbe-romantic video and no matter that it's a double entendre, is way off the zeitgeist -- which, quoth Ariana Grande, prefers love so hard. One of the least-questioned album-cycle cliches is artists "finally making the music they want to make," a revelation Clarkson (and everyone else) has had about four times over by now. But the least-questioned cliche of supposed pop journalism is writers deploying "her voice can become anything" -- something Idol nominally, if not actually, selects for, and something that's always "her" -- as a pejorative rather than a skill. Clarkson's career, now 15 years going, is an argument for the latter. [7]
Joshua Copperman: This is what I wanted the Adele/Max Martin collaboration to sound like! "Love So Soft" starts off with some Antonoffian ahhs, but soon becomes its own little fun thing - it's slight, but in a good way. There aren't high stakes, and there isn't any sort of subtext, but there is a totally OTT video and the whistle note towards the end. I do wish the bridge was longer, but there's no point complaining when Clarkson and co. clearly made this to have fun and not much else. [7]
Rebecca A. Gowns: Immediately, I'm caught off guard by the premise of this song. It flouts a lot of today's pop song conventions, which are all about being hard and tough and cool, and if you're hurt or emotional, it's always with a touch of bitterness. Here, she's really bragging about how soft she is, and adds, cheerily (!), "you break it, you buy it!" She's reclaiming the power in owning your vulnerability! And then, I'm struck by how old school it sounds, reminiscent of the height of Kelly Clarkson, not a 2017 revamp. The beat clangs, she hits the high notes right on cue, then swoops back down into the chanting chorus. Listening to this song is like watching someone walk down the street backwards -- impressive, and also vaguely worrying. [6]

rhodium in case you didn’t do that stuff up to now and once more you can find if you properly registered your your Bitcoin addresses public addresses by using checking out Bitcoin RH org I hyperlink to everything beneath however there may be some individuals which are slightly pissed off they’re now not getting it it’s certainly considering the fact that you didn’t do the whole lot that you have been imagined to do at first or you neglected the closing date and get airdrops are a little bit they’re elaborate you got to be proactive you obtained to do matters they’re exclusive than the usual forking crypt of dividend that we have been used to with be gold and be – speaking of crypto dividends it appears on March the fourth and i mentioned this earlier than but I did not give a good

screaming of all types of fun it will 7,500 blah blah blah you know whatever if it goes seventy 5 hundred satisfactory I simplest care about twenty twenty but it made me believe you know we have not had a be money pump in a at the same time that is you know that’s that’s it you know we’re failed to comprehend this uh believe the dangerous news with the rate taking place be cash quite often take knowledge of such situations you realize with the Bitcoin costs taking place they probably provide you with a just right information story they get on king of the trolls will get on some news application someplace and we haven’t had a massive cash pump but and it is a straight out however I was pondering a excellent you understand what’s often gonna occur does not imply you recognize possibly things into the Bitcoin rate will be down for just a little while and again it’s cyclical it’s going to happen again the tremendous cash pump will once more will occur there can be a fun session it is going to take skills of however maybe we’re gonna have to wait unless about February 15th to 18th i might say when you consider that that is when shmita fest takes place in Mexico we’re all you recognize the the fellow who said that the shmita used to be gonna cling another he pumps be cash he he’s a massive enormous money pumper this guy and again I have no idea why any individual believes a word he says after the shmita and all the nonsense the the man talks about however his tremendous shmita fest is down in Mexico in in February fifteenth to the 18th so I count on a significant be money pump dang that means in view that king of the crawl trolls is going to be there in honor sure he’ll be an honored visitor that she meets efest so yeah good WB cash pumped will it’s before then might be after we will be doing it more commonly be together with it someway they will give you some lies some rumor perhaps that you know the shmita there may be gonna be a new shemitah of Bitcoin and as a consequence you need to get be cash be money is the actual Bitcoin for the reason that of the shemitah that uh that the guy who you realize lives in mexico and there’s a canadian you know i admire Western Canadians by and large we have now obtained Gabriel’s a pleasant Western Canadian what’s his face over at steam it is it’s a excellent is an effective Western Canadian what’s up forgive me isn’t any means down that method however some Western Canadian whoo man shemitah pump the beat cash you okay along with your puppy I nonetheless have some colossal money I acquired a dump Oh a few of us have some be cash we received a dump still so yeah if you’re gonna pump it whatever do it in your she approach offense ok good day like bone due to the fact that this exhibit is practically over I gotta get out of right here yeah i’m going to be in Johannesburg March fifth to twelfth hire so on that soon March seventh occasion March tenth occasion ok finally coin X factor X some Hong Kong exchange made it an announcement they are launching a fourth market they mention bit vote and and be money sweet or be sweet anything you wish to have to call it trading pairs I imply it’s it is they usually trim this this trade only deals with be money it seems that i guess might be they’re going the shmita fest to their giant king of the trolls fam anyway uh but no I best mention this no longer due to the fact they’ve be cash buying and selling pairs however seeing that they are going out of the way in which that launch up a fork market so they’re on the right monitor here we’re ordinarily gonna see more exchanges with fork markets with fork focuses so they are they’re on the correct track they heard some distance from bad ultimate however I hyperlink to it beneath they they have an interesting press release out there and you realize we can expectantly we will see identical press releases from other exchanges but which can be a bit bit maintain some extra widespread huh Forks and do not give me this whole be cash nonsense anyway i am adam meister the bitcoinmeister damage it have got to keep in mind subscribe this channel like this video exhibit this

Why Nite Owl is the Best Character in ‘Watchmen’
Many art forms over the years have had difficulty finding the respect they deserve when they first start out. It’s only natural; new ideas tend to get the shaft by older generations afraid of change “corrupting the country” because apparently centuries of social and scientific innovation can be brought crumbling down by some little yellow cartoon kid saying “don’t have a cow, man”. Every form of artistic expression has had to battle censorship, unwarranted criticism and senseless conspiracy in their day, be it music, film, comedy, animation, video games. Even BOOKS were condemned as tools for evil by the earliest philosophers of human history.
“[Writing] will create forgetfulness in the learners’ souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves.” - Socrates
Comic books are no different. Matter of fact, they might just be the most prominent example of this. They’ve been credited time and time again for influencing youth to a life of crime and ignorance, especially in probably the most infamous case of anti-comic book propaganda, Friedric Wertham’s The Seduction of the Innocent, which made such bombastic claims as suggesting Batman and Robin are encouraging the youth to engage in homosexual affairs (different time folks, different time. Fun fact though; that’s why Batgirl was invented, to give Batman a girlfriend for his time to dispute such claims).
*Though to be fair, when you read these hilarious panels out of context you can sort of see some brow-raising implications. This is why context matters.*
But the upside to the battles every medium faces is that eventually along will come a masterpiece that breaks the mold. A revolutionary bit of literary work that changes the way we look at the medium long after it premieres. When it comes to comic books, if you ever find somebody telling you it’s not real art or it’s just kid stuff, you tell them to read motherfucking WATCHMEN. Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons, Watchmen is a timelessly cryptic tale of washed up former heroes, godlike beings with humanity slipping away and debates on proper ethics, all under the tension of a cold war stricken America where everyone feels like they can die at any moment. The story has went on to be recognized as one of New York times 100 greatest novels in 2005, joining the ranks of Catcher in the Rye and Clockwork Orange. And it’s praise is rightfully earned. The compelling murder mystery, the growing tension between military forces, the intricate detail of an alternate history Cold War, the play on themes like science, religion, morality and nostalgia, all brought together through beautiful silver age inspired artwork and masterful frame composition that makes the reader feel like their watching a movie.
Of course, being such a classic in the comic book world, it has equally iconic characters, which are all very original (ironic since they’re all basically reskinned Charlton Comics characters invented by Steve Ditko). The most commonly favorited and analyzed among fans being Rorschach, the conspiracy buff ruthless vigilante who is the black-and-white moral compass (though he’s not nearly as black and white as people give him credit for, we’ll get to that in a bit), Dr. Manhattan, the all powerful allegory for both God AND the atom bomb who is ever so slowly losing his grip on his own humanity, and the Comedian, the nihilistic, alcoholic, sex offender soldier who sees life as a monstrous joke and dies not having the last laugh. Those characters are all well and good, but there is one character I’ve grown particularly fond of whom I don’t think gets enough recognition for just how fascinating his dilemma and growth is. That is of course Daniel Dreiberg, the every-man turned superhero Nite Owl.
In order to fully appreciate Nite Owl, we’ll need to recap some context from the story. I’ve already touched upon how one of the major themes of the story is Nostalgia. After all, nearly every character in this story is distraught about the oncoming terror of the Cold War getting hot and they all want to remember a simpler time when it was clear who the bad guy was and what to do about it. Nobody embodies this theme more then Dan Dreiberg. He’s had a passion for crime fighting since he was very young, so much so that he used his fathers inheritance to develop crime fighting gear and tech and took on the mantle of Nite Owl after the original, Hollis Mason, had long since retired. Many of the other characters only became heroes because they were thrown into their situations by one force or another, but Dan had a longing to be a problem solver who wanted to defend the innocent and uphold the law in the most fun and dramatic way possible. When he wore the goggles he felt like there was no problem too large for him to handle. He was hopeful and he was optimistic.
“No matter how black it got, when I looked through these goggles . . . everything was clear as day.” - Ch. 7, pg 9, panel 8-9
Of course, after the Keenes act passed which outlawed vigilante justice, Dan was forced to begrudgingly hang up the cape. His confidence and vigor was seemingly forever trapped down in his basement, collecting dust. He became overweight. He grew timid and insecure. He let Rorschach walk all over him and abuse their friendship when they used to be trusted partners. He lived on in denial of what he truly wanted. He loved Laurie Juspeczyk for years but never confessed it, and even when he had the chance to embrace Laurie in sex he felt impotent and out of place. The dire feeling of living without meaning haunted his every move, and he was tired of being held on into a life of mediocrity.
“It’s this war. The feeling that it’s unavoidable. It makes me feel so powerless. So impotent.” - Ch. 7, pg 19, panel 8-9
It’s only when he puts the mask back on and willingly breaks the law holding him down that he starts to feel happy again. He begins to smile, he feels more positive about what to do about the cold war hanging over his head and Rorschach’s mask killer conspiracy. He’s finally able to satisfy Laurie sexually, and he even starts standing up to Roschach for all the shit he puts him through.
“I feel so confident it’s like I’m on fire. And all the mask killers, all the wars in the world, they’re just cases--problems to solve” - Ch. 7, pg 28, panel 5
“Listen, I've had it! Who the hell do you think you are? You live off people while insulting them, nobody complains because they think you’re a goddamned lunatic . . . you know how hard it is, being your friend?” - Ch. 10, pg 16, panel 5
The reason why I appreciate this so much is because Nite Owl embodies why we love superheroes: because they ARE problem solvers. They DO take on larger then life challenges, and they always find a way to put evil in it’s place. They enable us to have a more optimistic outlook and they prove that not only is doing the right thing possible, but it can be really fun too! Readers feel more empowered and enthusiastic when reading about the latest adventures of their heroes, because suddenly huge problems aren’t so scary anymore. It’s why comic books were so popular as anti Nazi and Japanese propaganda in WW2 and why superheroes skyrocketed in popularity throughout the decades of the cold war.
Nite Owl loves everything old fashioned. It’s why his childhood hero was the first Nite Owl Hollis Mason and why he spends so much of his time trapped in the past, always talking to Hollis about the old days and constantly visiting his basement to ponder them. He even demonstrates his longing for older times in extremely subtle ways, like his personal taste in music is all classic stuff and he’s out of touch on modern lingo.
“Oh well, mostly I’m into Billie Holiday, Nellie Lutcher, Louis Jordan . . . stuff like that.” - Ch. 7, pg 10, panel 3.
Generally speaking Dan’s dilemma in the story and his evolution as a character is a lot more underplayed and nuance then other character arcs, which I actually really appreciate. The book is fantastic, but I often felt like for other characters they basically just spell out their own character synopsis for the reader and leave little to the imagination. Rorschach and Dr. Manhattan especially had this issue in my opinion. Their character specific chapters didn’t rely very much on context clues or allowing the panels to tell the story (except for in certain instances), instead they basically just monologue to themselves on what they’re all about and why they do what they do. Plus as I stated briefly before I feel like Rorschach is a bit overrated, especially when they describe him as “seeing morality in black and white”. He’s made more then a few compromises and weird judgements in the story. There’s the more understandable example of when he refuses to beat the woman who made false assault allegations on him on tv because her kids were watching, but then there’s also the time where he describes the Comedians rape attempt on the first silk spectre as a “moral lapse”. Since when does the “black and white morality” character believe in moral lapses? Especially ones for topics as touchy as rape? pages later he breaks a guy in a bars set of fingers because the dude said he smelled bad behind his back. So let me get this straight: attempted rape is a moral lapse, but somebody saying you smell bad behind your back is punishable by finger breaking?? Seems to me Rorschach cares more about his reputation in the underworld then actually maintaining black and white morality. He even admits how much his reputation matters to him.
“Can’t. Serious Business. Slur on reputation.” - Ch. 10, pg 6, panel 5
But anyway, I've gone on enough tangents in this post. My point is that this graphic novel is phenomenal and a must-read for fans wanting to get into comic books or even literature in general. I just wanted to talk about an aspect not appreciated often enough, and how excellently it’s portrayed. There’s a reason Nite Owl is my favorite character and my favorite chapter is “A Brother to Dragons”. He articulates the theme of nostalgia perfectly and is a wonderful allegory for the reader and every man just trying to find an outlet for his problems. Plus he brings some much needed positivity and relief into an otherwise mercilessly dark and pessimistic book. It’s a shame Nite Owl all too often gets the shaft, even in his own story arc in the Before Watchmen series (which I have a bit of a distaste for because the artwork is way too layered in thick sketchy linework to be appealing and sometimes Rorschach just straight up hijacks the story). Hopefully this post will bring him some much deserved recognition.

Thailand’s Coup Leader Completes Engineered Ballot Box Win
With parliament’s unsurprising vote, Prayut Chan-o-cha has done an engineered energy to extend his rule as leading.
By Grant Peck for The Diplomat
June 06, 2019
When Prayut Chan-o-cha led a navy coup to acquire more than Thailand’s government five several years back, he wore a dowdy officer’s uniform. A 5-calendar year makeover remodeled him into a politician, now styled in a very well-tailor-made Western match or an tasteful silk “suea phraratchathan,” a Thai spin on the Nehru jacket.
The now-retired basic, who has run Thailand with complete ability considering that the 2014 coup, accomplished his changeover to a civilian leader Wednesday when Parliament selected him as primary minister of the new authorities.
As the leader of the junta and federal government for the previous five yrs, Prayut scrapped the structure and limited civil liberties with limitations on media, political gatherings, and general public dissent. What commenced as a system to suppress resistance to the coup developed into a suggests to weaken opponents in advance of considerably-delayed elections. Last but not least held in March, the voting was carried out under campaign and vote-counting regulations weighted to Prayut’s edge, like allowing for him to turn into primary minister with out right functioning for political place of work.

On the campaign trail, Prayut would split into music, wooing supporters with self-published saccharine ballads addressed to the country. “Uncle Tu” even sought the youth vote, which include all through an awkward photo shoot at Government Household with a well-liked all-lady pop band.
But his hallmark was not his trendiness, but rather his temper.
Thailand’s previous top navy officer was unused to currently being questioned and frequently threw tantrums when pressed by the media as key minister. He the moment threatened reporters with execution in a minute that shown his quixotic sense of humor somewhat than authentic intent.
An additional time, he made a lifestyle-measurement, cardboard cutout of himself and instructed the media, “If any individual would like to inquire any questions on politics or conflicts, check with this man. Bye, bye.” He then marched off, leaving the cardboard cutout in his put.
“He has a sturdy personality — vigorous and immediate. If he tries to come to be a politician, he could check out to alter but he would hardly ever genuinely be ready to adjust 100 %,” Supparuek Tongchairith, a veteran navy beat reporter for Thai Rath, the country’s largest-circulation newspaper, stated ahead of Prayut officially became a applicant. “Because his boiling place is very low, if any person pokes at him, he will explode. And for him to sit in Parliament, I guarantee, he will run into difficulties.”
Prayut’s to start with expression in office was mostly smoothed by his government’s crackdown on opponents and civic freedoms, the rubber-stamp legislature he hand-picked, a newly drafted constitution, and a regulation he enacted earning all of his steps authorized.
He can boast some achievements, most notably some cleanup of the aviation, fishing, and wildlife industries, and motion towards human trafficking.
He lent his bodyweight to the gravity of the royal changeover, marching in the procession behind the coffin of King Bhumibol Adulyadej in 2016, and attending the coronation of King Maha Vajiralongkorn in Could 2019.
But his file is not unblemished. Allegations of nepotism towards Prayut’s have relatives have led to awkward accusations of hypocrisy for a man who pledged to end corruption as justification for the coup.
He also took no motion when a near junta colleague, Prawit Wongsuwan, was embroiled in a luxury observe scandal.
Prayut, 65, was born and raised in an army relatives at a military camp in the northeastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima. He graduated from Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy and was presently a senior figure in the army when it staged a 2006 coup against popular elected Key Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
In 2010, Prayut aided direct the bloody suppression of pro-Thaksin demonstrators in central Bangkok. In October that yr, he became the army commander in chief.
Following seizing electricity on May well 22, 2014, Prayuth declared that political reform — cleaning up a system he blamed for Thailand’s instability — was the junta’s precedence.
But as his second time period as primary minister became more most likely, he produced allies of the incredibly politicians he had known as targets of the junta’s reforms and initiated federal government handouts that were when scorned as funds politics.

‘ZEZE’, The Perfect Trap-Rap Trainwreck. [REVIEW]
2018 has been a pretty odd year for popular music. I mean, it’s been pretty impressive too, tons of records are being broken right now, in fact, the song we’re going to talk about today has broken one of those records (although easily one of the least important ones). I’ll talk more about 2018 as a year overall when I make my best and worst lists (which, no, this song won’t be on either despite who made it), but let’s just focus on this one song, and how perfect it is – despite being freakin’ awful, generic and borderline unlistenable. Let me elaborate.
SONG REVIEW: “ZEZE” – Kodak Black, Travis Scott & Offset – Produced by D.A. Doman
What record did this break, do you ask? Well, with the advent of SoundCloud rap, mumble-rap and emo-rap becoming the new wave, some stranger music has crept onto the charts, whether it be because of its sound or background and/or origin story. Memes have gotten music popular for ages but a 90s Latin reggaeton/house track by the “Chacarron Macarron” guy which translates to “Give me your little thing” becoming a top 40 hit is relatively unheard of – this is especially weird because the remix with Pitbull was released way after the song blew up and then fizzled out. I know Pitbull was always on his way out and he’s basically now a living meme anyway but it’s still a shock to see stars I knew so well fade away like this – oh, yeah, and how does celebrity status and star-power matter even more than it ever has been and none at all at the same time? We’re about to get a Mia Khalifa diss track released in February by two teenagers after a fake tweet was posted by some Instagram page on the charts simply because of the power of some girl in cosplay lip-synching to the second (and more meme-able) verse on TikTok.
Hit or miss - I guess they never miss, huh? – Smoke Hijabi, iLOVEFRiDAY’s “Mia Khalifa Diss”
Yet we still can’t get rid of that pesky Drake rascal, hell, he nearly hit #1 again, this time entirely uncredited!
I did half a Xan, 13 hours ‘til I land / Had me out like a light, ayy, yeah – Drake, Travis Scott’s “SICKO MODE”
Last year we had the shortest song to reach the top 5 since the early 1960s, with “Gucci Gang” by Lil Pump, peaking at #3 despite a puny runtime of a mere 2 minutes and 4 seconds. Today, we’re talking about a song that peaked just one slot higher, and became the highest-charting song EVER on the Hot 100 that starts with the letter “z”. Yes, it’s an odd, unimportant and pointless milestone but it’s something nonetheless. Oh, but that’s far from the most interesting part of this song. Let’s talk about the production first, mostly because any time I can stall before talking about Kodak Black should be savoured greatly. It was produced by D.A. Doman, most known nowadays for that “Taste” song by Tyga, in fact, Tyga even remixed “ZEZE” because the beats were so similar, and there’s only one beat Tyga ever does all that well on – and it’s tropical synth-lead trap. The bass on “Taste” was mixed well, though. I feel like there’s too little here and it could do with some pumping up, although it does give the steel pans a very airy feel, to be fair, and those little tiny details like that funky synth that just kind of appears briefly as a speck in Kodak’s refrain are just really top-notch, and that catchy and clean vocal sample playing throughout the song pushes this beat into truly great territory. Hell, the beat was so good that it made the song a meme months before its release, where people added a caption to Kodak and Travis dancing very... interestingly to the song. There was also a teaser where it was just 40 seconds of the beat building up with people saying “f**k ‘em up, Kodak” in the background, and someone was dancing there too. I don’t know, all I know is that this beat is fantastic and... everyone’s gonna mess this up, aren’t they?
Well, Travis doesn’t, really, he’s just odd. After like 5 seconds of the beat without any percussion or bass, just the steel pans and basically no build-up excluding Doman’s producer tag, the catchy “D.A got that dope!” phrase, it goes straight into the beat, bass and all, as well as Travis’ vocals which have like twenty layers each of some gross autotune and reverb effects. Seriously, it’s slathered to hell and back with vocal manipulation and it’s really unpleasant, especially when it’s drowned in all these ad-libs. Let’s focus on the lyrics of Travis’ hook, though, because they’re really cute. It plays out as, to say it bluntly, “Baby’s First Rap Chorus”. All the clichés are there, but in their purest form.
Ice water, turned Atlantic (freeze!) / Nightcrawlin’ in the Phantom (skrrt, skrrt) / Told them hoes that don’t you panic
His wrist is froze because of his diamonds. He has a black luxury car, he’s lazily referencing his other, much better songs, and he has to add in those essential “skrrt, skrrt” ad-libs. Oh, well, at least there are attempts at being unique here, with the last line, especially since we can assume they’re in water here, so Travis desperately reassures the countless amount of women he is having sex with, “Don’t worry, it’s a Phantom! We’re not going to drown to our deaths!” And then he goes, “screw it”, and starts actually adjusting the Phantom so they have more space, thus his “hoes” do not die, depriving him of pleasure and satisfaction.
Dropped the roof, more expansion / Drive a coupe you can stand in (IT’S LIT!)
You know what, that’s a good idea, but, yeah, I’m kidding, it’s not that deep – it’s just that he’s driving fast. Of course it isn’t anything all too conceptual.
Took an island (yeah), flood the mansion (big water!)
Sorry, what was that last part?
(Big water!)
Big water? I mean, I know the line is about how he took a lot of producers and rappers to his ASTROWORLD sessions on a Hawaiian island or something, but is “big water” seriously something people say? It just seems so dumb and kind of childish. In fact, while we’re on the subject...
B****es undercover (in the sheets!) / I’m an a** and tiddy lover (big a**) / Guess we all made for each other
Rappers never really brag about taking time to appreciate the woman’s body whilst “in the sheets” but you know what, sure, I’ll take that, but the second line just potentially demonstrates the naivety of this chorus, like, it’s just pure rap cliché but in such a way that makes it seem like Travis is a robot that has been analysing rap lyrics and programming a very blunt and obvious bar that exemplifies that. Oh, and the last part is just a dumb filler rhyme, although it’s kind of funny to think about how it must be up to destiny that Travis’ girl has a big butt and he likes big butts.
Now that all the dawgs free (yeah, yeah) / And we out in these streets (alright) / Can you do it, can you pop it for me?
The robot theory is developed even further when we notice these two statements are entirely unrelated. My friends are free from prison, but we’re still in the streets, therefore, pop that kitty for me, girl. This is how the chorus ends too, it’s so anti-climactic, although I do want to point out that Offset more than makes up for Travis’ strange twisting of lyrical cliché, as his verse is pretty fantastic. The flow is great throughout, with some nice switches that keep the surprisingly long verse still feeling fresh and short by the end.
She an addict (addict)
Please don’t rhyme it with—
Addict for the lifestyle and the Patek (Patek), big daddy
Son of a—
Anyways, there are plenty of relatively memorable lines here that end up being pretty quotable, such as... UK football references?
In the middle of the field like David Beckham (field, bow-bow!!)
Oh, and they kind of explain what “ZEZE” means – it means “zombie”, a slang term for, of course, lean... because it’s 2018.
Pop pills, do what you feel, I’m on that zombie (hey, hoo!) / I’m more like Gaddafi, I’m not no Gandhi (Gaddafi, hey)
Oh, um, some of these lines come off as kind of rapey though, which is not the greatest tone to go for when you have a song with Kodak Black, to say the least.
I go in her mouth, she can’t tell me nothin’ (ugh, ugh, ugh)
Oh, and I guess it’s finally time to talk about the alleged rapist elephant in the room.
On my Kodak, woo, Black, ooh, know that – Childish Gambino, “This is America”
I’m not going to bring up his allegations anymore because frankly they’re completely irrelevant to his performance here, and all he actually adds to this review is proof for my conclusion: this song has so much good qualities, but they paint them in the grossest green colour possible. Each one of these guys just ruin the gifts they’re provided with. In fact, the beat changes for Kodak so he doesn’t sound as offbeat as usual, and, of course, it doesn’t work at all, he still sounds pretty terrible as always, but still, D.A. Doman switches up the beat slightly (which was near perfect as it was) to accommodate for the talentless and directionless ramblings of Mr. Kodak Black.
Pull up in a Demon, on God (on God) / Looking like I still do fraud (fraud) / Flyin’ private jet with the rod (rod) / This that Z-s**t, this that Z-s**t (this that Z-s**t)
Kodak is so unlikeable here. He sounds like he was on a news interview, with a noticeable Southern drawl, that went viral enough in 2011 to get an autotuned Songify This remix. Honestly, it sounds that painful of a vocal, and without the Gregory Brothers’ pretty great production and knack for melody, this is just a strain on both Kodak’s voice and my ear-drums.
I got the fire on me in BET Awards
I’m less surprised that you have a gun rather just that you’re allowed in the BET Awards.
In a Hellcat cos I’m a hell-raiser
Man, this song is robotically programmed, I swear! There’s no attempt at portraying any unique lyrical characteristics, personality or even a single attempt at interesting wordplay, rather we get a catchier version of Kodak’s typical topics, just in an even more boring flow this time, and delivered like he’s on pain medication... which is probably what they’re going for here. What a waste of a fantastic, beautifully-produced instrumental, one of the most diverse and unique trap-rappers out there in the form of Travis Scott, who is relegated to his awfully-written hook duty, and what a waste of that amazing Offset verse. Seriously, Offset, kick Kodak off, switch him for another awful human being, Tyga, and save this song (including Travis’ admittedly fun, albeit silly, hook) for your upcoming solo album. I can’t let Kodak Black own this song, it’s too good for him in concept. What a perfect trainwreck. Everything is given to them completely prepared and in good condition, and then they just trash it. This song is when you get something valuable or useful for a damn good price and your dog eats it within five minutes of you opening it.
Hit that Z-walk, Dickies with my Reeboks
Oh, come on, Kodak, I know I don’t like your song but you didn’t have to give me Vietnam flashbacks of Lil Dicky. That’s just not cool. See ya on Thursday, everyone. Peace.
