Review: MNERVA re-releases his smashing alternative-rock single ‘SORRY (FORGET ABOUT ME)’ as a energetically pulsating remix collaboration

Nashville-based rock artist MNERVA loves to fuse his rock, hip hop, and musical theatre influences into a amalgamation of stylings you’ve never quite heard before. After he spent many years honing his craft, MNERVA originally debuted as a hip hop artist in early 2020 before embracing more of a rock background into his work to give it an edge alike nothing you’ve heard before. Now sharing a remix of his previously released single ‘SORRY (FORGET ABOUT ME)’, MNERVA collaborates with Matty Beats and Allistair to put out his self-proclaimed favourite version of the track - and for good reason.

Entangled between a fluctuating blend of genres is the groundbreaking new remix of ‘SORRY (FORGET ABOUT ME)’, a track originally based within more of a soft electronic edge and intimate feel. Opening with tense, atmospheric guitar plucks, the new revision of track doesn’t lose the air of intimacy the original wields, but the verse swiftly captures more of a heavy-hitting dominance that leaves it feeling more of an anthem than a downbeat, emotionally-infused journey. From gritty, harsh electric guitar strums to pulsating electronic beats, the soundscape immediately hits hard and you can’t help but be gripped on every moment of it. Complemented by angsty spoken-sung vocals, MNERVA spits out a flow of addictive lyricism you’ll find yourself wrapped up and singing along to each word of, carrying an attitude in every charismatic line. The chorus truly explodes though, at first relying on just spiking beats and vocals before an entire commanding wall of instrumentals hits at their peak. From driving electric guitar to thunderous beats and MNERVA dancing between a higher range with a hoarseness that makes every word all the more poignant, ‘SORRY (FORGET ABOUT ME)’ really shines in this more impassioned, dark version that intertwines both a magnitude of emotion and a fierce sound into one song you can’t help but want to listen to on repeat. A stripped-back verse even takes a moment to linger on the personal message buried within, leaving you both aching and empowered all at once.

Lyrically, ‘SORRY (FORGET ABOUT ME)’ is a hard-hitting introspective look inside at oneself, dwelling on past mistakes and carrying the guilt of decisions made with an authentic remorse. As the chorus hook says it best, MNERVA sings ‘I’m so sorry that you loved me, one day you’ll see you’re better off without me’, an evidently pained revelation of the weight he’s carrying for things he has done, burying it all within and self-critically tearing apart his own character. Sharing that ‘you were out there wrestling with your demons, and I know I made them worse’, MNERVA clearly feels consumed by his past inability to help someone he once loved, perhaps dealing with his own difficulties that only made his partner’s worse. Knowing that nothing can be done to change it, lines like ‘I can’t take back all the mistakes that I’ve made’ drip with a pure and pained harshness, wishing things could be different but knowing that what’s done is done. Yet despite how tragically MNERVA wears these mistakes on his sleeve and blames himself for every detail of what once went wrong, the track’s accountability and regretfulness reminds you that we’re all simply human, learning and growing from where we’ve been and moving forward as someone better is ultimately all that matters. It’s real and it’s not afraid to be, with MNERVA clearly taking upon experiences - whether they be his own or others’ - to write something that truly matters.

Check out ‘SORRY (FORGET ABOUT ME)’ here to enjoy the bombastic remix of MNERVA’s high-energy release with a message you won’t be able to forget!

The Song of our Hearts (Lukadrien June 2020)

@lukadrien-june

Day 21: Denial

Adrien decides to come out to his father and tell him about his boyfriend Luka that he loves very much. Nothing could go wrong, right? Knowing Gabriel, everything will go just fine.

I'm very sarcastic. You can read it on Ao3 here.

I always try to believe that deep down, my father loves me. That this cold and distant behavior he exhibits is due to his grief from losing Mother. I know a lot of people say that I look a lot like my mother, maybe it’s hard for him to look at me without being reminded of her? His absence on most holidays or days at this point is because he burying himself into his work, even if the results don’t come, to be honest. Marinette has designed pieces that are better than what he did recently. Then, he fills my schedule with Chinese lessons, piano practice, and fencing. It could be to prepare me to inherit Gabriel, even if I don’t really want to… If it were only me, I would like to be a teacher. Science or maths could be nice, though languages are interesting too… I even told Luka that I would not mind being a stay at home father for our kids if we ever have any.

Luka. That’s another thing. We love each other very much, I would do anything for him and I believe he would do the same, but we keep our relationship a secret. Except for a few of our friends, no one knows that we are in a relationship. I haven’t come out to father yet, and I would like to tell him in person rather than he learns it from the news or a gossip magazine.

So here I am, in front of the door to his office, after nearly two weeks of anxious waiting since getting my appointment that I requested with him. Nathalie scheduled it at 16:30, after school, and before my Chinese lesson.

"It can’t really go that bad, right?" I ask my kwami. "It’s just that I like both girls and boys and that I currently have a boyfriend who I like very much. There are a lot of LGBT+ people in fashion and here at Gabriel, he can’t be homophobic."

"I hate to break it to you, kid, but to some people, having a gay employee or a bisexual son, it’s not the same thing. You should know, you read multiple stories online. Also, your father isn’t known to be the most accepting person when it comes to you… He wanted you to end your friendship with red cap boy because he wasn’t a good influence on you ." Plagg replies that the last part imitating my father’s voice."

I’m surprised Plagg had this much to say, though I know that he cares a lot, even if he doesn’t show it much. Though, what he said doesn’t do much to reassure me… He mainly said the same as Nino, Luka, Kagami, and Marinette said…

Taking what I have left of courage, I knock on the door and wait to be allowed in. I hear his voice shortly after.

This is it… I turn the doorknob and push the door open. I slowly walk in; the cold air surrounding Father makes me feel so small.

He keeps staring at Mother’s painting behind his desk, barely acknowledging my presence.

"I’m on a tight schedule, Adrien, what did you have to say that needed an appointment so soon?"

No words have escaped my mouth, but he already sounds unpleased and disappointed.

"Well, um… Father, I’m bisexual…" I nearly flinch as the words echo in the icy room.

- Did you ask for a meeting for such a trivial thing? You’re wasting my time…

- I have a boyfriend!"

It came out more like a shout than a normal speaking tone and I am afraid of his reaction even more. He stays silent facing the painting so I try to plead my cause.

"His name is Luka, we love each other a lot… I’m sorry I kept my relationship secret from you, but I wanted to figure my feelings with him before going public…

- You will end things with him immediately. I will not allow you to stain the company’s image by dating such a lousy unlawful young man. I expected better from you, Adrien. I did not raise you to be fooled by gold diggers like him.

- He’s not like that, I know he likes me a lot. If you were to meet him, you would…

- Enough! You will end your relationship with him, or I will send Nathalie to his house with a restraining order. I will select your future romantic interests so you will not further damage our opportunities in the world.

- But it would do great publicity with the LGBT+ community if they knew that Gabriel’s main model is bisexual…

- Absolutely not. You’d damage our sales in more than half of the world for idiots who get satisfied with bread crumbs they’re offered.

- I can’t deny that part of myself, it would be like lying…

- You said you are bisexual, if my knowledge is correct, it means that you like both women and men, correct?

- Yes, father…

- Then you will still have feelings for the partners I’ll choose for you. You already derailed my plans with the Tsurugi, it will not happen again.

- We realized we worked better as friends.

- Enough, go to your room and make sure to end things with that boy or I will do it."

Did he even listen to what I said? It’s only the same as usual: be the perfect boy that he always needed, conceal, don’t feel my emotions, hide my secrets. Well, I love Luka, and the world will know. I feel Plagg in my pocket

"No.

- Adrien, stop this nonsense! You will do as I say, now go to your room or I’ll take you out of public school.

- I won’t, Father. I’m seventeen now, eighteen next week. You no longer control me. I thought that you loved me, yet you only care about your company. Luka cares about me and what I want.

- I’m giving you money and a fashion empire!

- I don’t want it! You never asked what I want!

- Then you’ll make mistakes, you’ll get hurt, you will humiliate me!

- So? All of the other parents I’ve met eat most of their meals with their children, they try to spend time together, they try to comfort them, not tell then to conceal everything!

- You are not most children, you are an Agreste! You have to act like one!

- Not for long, I’ll take Luka’s name when we get married. I’m done, goodbye father."

The urge to slam the door is strong, but I let it close itself instead. I walk to my bedroom, opening the door with no intent of staying there. For such an immense room filled with games, movies, books, the pile of things I gather on my bed is small. Marinette’s lucky charm, she gave it to me when we trained for the Ultimate Mecha strike competition. It was one of the few times I spent alone with her and she was not stuttering as much as usual. The Plagg puppet he made when he escaped for Nooroo’s birthday. I was scared to death that day, but I kept the sock puppet because it looks funny and it shows that Plagg is not only destruction, he can make things too. The anonymous love letter I got for Valentine’s Day on my first day of school. I now know it was from Marinette, but we both moved on, her to Kagami and me to Luka. My plushies of Ladybug, Viperion, Chat Noir, and Carapace I commissioned Marinette once I saw hers. They were too cute and I needed a few of them. A few of the merch I had bought in my Ladybug phase, and everything I could find of Viperion: a shirt and an action figure. After our reveal, I felt a little bad of owning so much Ladybug themed stuff, but then she admitted the real reason for the photographs and magazines of me in her bedroom. It was a weird moment for both of us. I put the rest of the hero-themed stuff in a box to send to Alya, I’m sure she will enjoy all the limited editions I got my hands on back then. The rest of the pile consists of all the gifts my friends and my boyfriend gave me. The blue scarf I got on my birthday. At first, I believed it was from Father, but I learned recently that Marinette was the one to make it. Since then, she’d also given me a beanie and mittens to go with it. The CDs Nino gave me with his remixes and playlists. There is also one or two sweaters I "borrowed" Luka with no intention of returning them. They are too soft and comfy; they remind me of him. I put one on and I already feel better, it’s as if he’s hugging me.

I send him a quick text to let him know how everything went. I quickly put back my phone in my pocket, not ready for his pity. I put everything in another box next to Alya’s. I had brought empty boxes in the eventuality that things would go wrong, but I hoped Father would have reacted differently. Why do I always get my hopes up with him if the only thing I’ve been is disappointed and hurt every single time? I feel like I ask for crumbs but he can barely give me atoms and even then, it’s tied to conditions and ulterior motives…

I look aside to see Plagg filling his own box with dirty socks, multiple wheels of camembert, and other expensive cheeses that were stored in his cabinet. I hear him grumbling a few choice words that I guess are destined to my Father and it makes me smile. He doesn’t like to show it often, but he cares about me. Somehow, I learned more from him than my own father. He zips in and out of the carboard box with his precious things. Smiling, I turn back to my own.

"Ready to go, Plagg?

- Yeah, I’m done with this place. You sure you’re not forgetting anything?

- No…"

I pile the three boxes and manage to hold them in my arms. Working out and a side job as a superhero help develop your muscles. My kwami discreetly opens my bedroom door allowing me to step into the cold entrance hall.

Nathalie barely looks at me. If she feels remorse or pain of seeing me go, she hides it behind her usual stern expression. I nod at her and she steps aside to open the door for me. Heavy grey clouds greet me outside as Nathalie closes the door.

"Take care, Adrien."

It was barely audible with the city’s noise, but my enhanced senses allowed me to hear it. I smirk rolling my eyes: she couldn’t even say it to me directly. At least she cared a little. I would be lying if I said it doesn’t hurt coming from the woman who raised me since Mother disappeared.

My bodyguard is waiting next to the car and he opens the door when he sees me. I lightly shake my head. He stops me as I walk past him. He takes the boxes and carefully deposits them on the ground. My brows are creased as I don’t understand what he is doing. His imposing figure stands in front of me and I’m a little intimidated. Even by hitting a growth spurt with puberty and towering above most of my friends, except Luka who simply grew even taller, I’m smaller than him. He gently embraces me in a tight hug. Once my surprise fades, I return the hug. I feel like I’m the 4-year-old he needs to protect from the crowds and ill-intentioned people again. He lets me go and I notice a few tears gathering in his eyes. He may be silent, but he’s always been more expressive than Father and Nathalie. I pick up my boxes once again and smile at him as I keep going toward the gate.

Walking away from the mansion, from where I spent most of my time up until I became Chat Noir feels odd. As much as I wanted to leave and be free, to experience the world, I never expected it would be in those conditions.

I spot Luka waiting on the other side smiling warmly at me. His bright aqua eyes filled with love locks on mine. As long as we’re together, I know I will be happy.

The Long Night Pt.17

The lights were bright.

Summer groaned as she tried to shield her eyes from the accursed light, only to find it hard to move it. She relented to turning her head slightly away from the light. Bringing some small comfort to her.

Raven : Hey take it easy Sum.

Summer (weakly) : Raven, what happened?

Raven was sitting on a chair next to Summer’s bedside, she had a book on her hands.

Raven : Ben used his semblance on us and over did it. He got reprimanded for it and got 2 weeks detention for his team and they have to write a 10,000 word essay on semblance responsibility.

Summer : And Qrow?

Raven : He’s fine and been serving our detention for the past week.

Summer (panicking) :How long have we been out?

Raven : Me, 2 days. You 3 days and Tai hasn’t woken up yet.

She said the last part with remorse. Her eyes holding back tears and they were barley holding it together.

Summer : What happens if-

Raven (angry) : Just don’t!

Summer caught the hint and dropped it.

Summer : Oh Gods!!!

Raven (panicking) : What!!!

Summer (groaning) : Qrow was taking notes for us.

Raven (playfully pale) : We are screwed.

Both girls laughed, forgetting about the present and enjoying the moment of happiness.

***Waiting Room, Medical Bay _ 2 Hours After the incident***

Willow heard what had happened to STRQ and rushed to the medical bay.

The whole school heard what had happened to them and saw them as the victims of other peoples incompetence.

When she passed through the doors to the medical Bay the first thing she saw was a bruised up Qrow arguing with the front desk and leaving defeated to find an empty seat in the waiting room.

Qrow was looking down, twiddling with his thumbs and silently holding back tears.

Willow (concerned) : Qrow?

Qrow quickly whipped his eyes of any tears that escaped and looked up.

What Willow saw in his eyes made her want to cry. His eyes had hate, shame, panic, and lost. It was like looking in a mirror.

Qrow : Willow? What are you doing here?

She sat down right next to him.

Willow : When I heard what happened, I rushed over here to see if you guys were alright.

Qrow : Afraid we want to get out of the ‘agreement’.

Willow (taken aback) : No, I was about to ask you guys to drop it.

Now it was Qrow’s turn to be suprised.

Willow (holding it together) : This is a sign to stop fighting my fate and embrace it. Getting you guys involved was a mistake and now you guys are hurt because of me.

Now she was letting tears silently come out.

Qrow put his hand on her shoulder hoping to help her. She in turn grabbed his hand and cried into his shoulder.

Qrow : I can say, we are have been kicked the ground and put in tougher situations, but that never stopped us. Were team STRQ we do the impossible no matter what.

He smiles to reassure her that she would be saved.

Willow (worried) : But right now your all alone.

Qrow : But not out. Now lets wait for the Doctor to tell us the news.

***Medical Bay***

Raven, Summer and Qrow were now at Tai’s bedside. It had almost been a week after the incident and he still hasn’t woken up.

Right now they were either studying or chatting, hoping Tai was listening to them.

Raven : Qrow what is this?

Qrow : Notes on Dust.

Raven : Its chicken scratch is what it is!

Qrow : Hey it was proven in a study that sloppy handwriting means the mind works faster than the body.

Summer : Where did you find that out?

Qrow looked away from her, flustered.

Raven : What do you think Tai? Is he full of bullshit or what.

She said to him smiling, hoping he heard her.

Qrow : Oh yeah, I checked the USB.

Both girls put his notebook down and looked at him.

Raven : And?

Qrow : We got an address only.

Summer : Thank you Willow.

Qrow : Also, she has a surprise for us.

Summer : What is it?

Qrow : Don’t know, she said it was a surprise.

Raven : She better not pop out of a cake in our dorm.

Summer and Qrow : RAVEN!!

Qrow : Well you guys are getting out of here today and then you will suffer like me.

Nurse : Excuse me guys, you need to leave i’m about to give your friend a bath right now and I don’t think you want to see him naked.

Summer and Qrow packed up their stuff and hurried off. Raven gave Tai a kiss on the forehead and left.

***Next Morning***

They were all sleeping in, the only class they had was at 1:30 and detention was at 3.

Summer was the first one to wake up and get ready. She was surprised that the twins were still sleeping. She walked up to Qrow’s bed and looked at him. He looked cute, especially since he was snoring lightly unlike his sister. She snapped out her stalker thoughts with a slight blush and walked towards the door. Wanting to clear her mind from those thoughts and why she was thinking them.

When she opened the door she yelped and jumped back. In front of her was a stack off boxes being held by arms that look like they were about to give out.

Willow (weakly) : Help.

Summer got up and grabbed 2 of the 4 boxes off of her hands.

Willow (breathing heavily) : Thank you, Summer.

Summer : No problem, but why are carrying these.

Willow looked up and smiled. She went to a box with a rose symbol on it and gave it to Summer. She gestured for her to open it.

Summer opened it and went through the package peanuts. When she grabbed something she pulled it out and was speechless.

In her hands now was an upgraded version of Moonlight. She was examining it all the while looking at Willow.

Willow : As you can see, Moonlight had a fresh paint job of snow white. The transformation feature has been made smoother thus making it quicker to transform.

Summer pressed the button to go to the crossbow form. The crossbow looked new and improved.

Willow : We replaced the limbs, stocks, everything to make it more reliable. We also made it into an automatic crossbow. The ammo for it will be in the box. You will never have to reload every time you fire a shot. Try to make it into a spear.

Summer did as she was told and the spear was just like the crossbow.

Willow : The shaft is made of the same material from the crossbow and the head was replaced with a new one. And yes it has been infused with dust. The ammo also had dust rounds in it and is in the box. Now the sword.

Summer obeyed and still could not look any less excited.

Willow : Like the spear and crossbow it has the same material. Should be more comfortable and weigh just as it should maybe a little more. Well, do you like it?

Summer put Moonlight down and ran up to her.

She tackled Willow to the floor all the while saying “Thank you”.

Qrow (drowsy) : What’s happening?

Summer got up from Willow and rushed to one of the boxes.

Willow : (from the ground) : Its the black box.

Qrow (awake) : Why are you here?

Willow : To give you guys a welcome back present and to say i’m sorry for not helping sooner then I should.

She looked at him with a mix of sadness and determination.

Qrow (internally) : You really are something Willow.

Summer was now in front of Qrow with his box. She was smiling and jumping up and down in anticipation for him to open it. It was cute in a way.

Qrow grabbed the box out of her hands and began to open it. He pulled out Harbinger and found how light it was and how the hilt was more comfortable. It still looked the same with no real changes in appearance.

Willow noticed him still eyeing his weapon wondering what had been done to it.

Willow : The hilt and blade have been replaced to make it lighter and more comfortable like Summer’s weapon. The blade is more durable so you won’t have to worry about nicks as often. Transform it for me please.

He did as he was told and found that it was made quicker then usual.

Willow : You had a cog missing and some of them looked like they were about to break. We replaced them and their is a maintenance kit for it in the box along with some other goodies in their.

She motioned for him to look into the box.

He looked through the box as Willow was smiling at him.

Qrow pulled out a two maintenance kit, big and small, few rounds of dust ammo and small canisters of dust outside of the box wondering if they were for.

He then found a ring with the Schnee symbol on it. He looked at Willow who in turned walked over to him and put it on one of his right ring finger. After putting it on she grabbed Harbinger out of his hands, pressed a button on the hilt and walked to the other side of the room.

Willow : Stretch your fingers on the right hand.

Qrow stretched his fingers out and the ring glowed purple. Harbinger glowed the same color and it flew into his hands. He was surprised how fast it flew to him and couldn’t stop the smile forming on his face.

Willow : The inspiration was the video of Damian kicking your butt easily without your sword.

Summer tried to hold back a giggle and Qrow’s face went pale.

Willow pulled out her phone to show the video to them.

Willow : Their are even remixes of it like this.

The video shows Qrow getting his ass kicked with the occasionally sunglasses put on his or Damian’s face with a weed cigar and music playing.

Willow : Anyway, the hilt has a compartment to turn off the gravity dust on the weapon and ring. Also their is another button their and press it for me. And yes Raven and Summer have a ring in their boxes, just in case.

Qrow pressed the button and Harbinger set ablaze. He looked like a child that got everything he wanted for Christmas and more.

Willow walked over to him and put a hand on one of his shoulder. She slowly traced her hand from his shoulder to his bicep. This was the first time she grabbed onto him and really feel his muscles and a slight blush formed on her face.

Their little scene did not go unnoticed. Summer was looking through her box for more of what Willow mention when she saw her walk over to Qrow and do what she did. She was wondering why she felt like someone punched her in the gut. They weren’t dating or anything so why did she feel this way.

After Qrow was done being a child, Willow spoke.

Willow : Also, I have a favor to ask you guys.

Summer : What is it?

Willow : I need a bodyguard for my public announcement of my marriage with Tesla Born.

This took Qrow and Summer by surprised.

Willow : I just need one person for this. It can’t be Qrow because he and Tesla didn’t get along when they met. Taiyang is out for sad reasons. So Summer could you or Raven protect me their. Please?

Summer : Can I ask why your don’t get a professional huntsmen or a security detail from your father?

Willow : Last thing I need is for Tesla to buy them off without them knowing who he is. He will pay them to ignore whatever he does to me. That’s why I am asking you guys. And I need to make sure the SDC has enough resources in case . . .

She looked down contemplating what to say next.

Qrow : You don’t think we can get you out?

Willow : No, I do believe in you guys but, (deep breath) I need to think of every outcome in every scenario if it involves the company. I am a business major in Atlas after all, I have to be if i’m the heiress. I need to save as many things as I can if all else fails.

She looked down and took a few breaths to compose herself. She did not want to image a life with Tesla.

Willow : So, please. Will you help me?

Summer : Can you give us a moment with my team to discuss this.

Willow nodded and left the dorm and waited outside the door.

Summer walked over to Raven and tried to wake her up. In return Raven turned herself away from her and flipped her the bird.

Summer signed and went to her bed and pulled out a bottle sprayer filled with frebrez and took out two masks.

She tossed one over to Qrow, who put it on as if his life depended on it. She walked over to Raven’s bed and let loose on the bottle.

It did nothing at first then the third spray made Raven bolt up and run to the bathroom all the while cursing at Summer who continued spraying her without mercy.

Summer (yelling and masked) : Willow you can come in.

Willow opened the door and pinched her nose to the sudden smell. The fact they were wearing masks didn’t suprise her.

Summer (masked) : I will be more than happy to be your bodyguard for the public announcement.

Willow went up to Summer and hugged her. Summer didn’t expect the hug to be tight or her to be shaking. She hugged her back to reassure her that she was in safe hands. Willow let go off her after awhile.

Willow : Again thank you for the help. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to get to my dorm before my roommate makes accusations.

She left the dorm in a little hurry.

Qrow (masked) : That was nice of you. I thought you would want to study or something.

Summer : Well I would but I want to talk to Willow on a one on one. Y’known get some girl talk that wasn’t with your sister.

Raven :SUMMER!! YOU ARE DEAD!!!

Raven came out of the shower with a towel around her hair and self. She ran up to Summer who in turn hid behind Qrow and pointed the bottle sprayer at her.

Raven : Summer if you spray me with that one more time I swear on all that is holy.

Summer : Make one more move and it goes on the skin.

Qrow : When did I become the adult?

Summer : Since your the only guy here.

Both girls began to run around Qrow. He just sighed at the childish antics that were preformed by the two ‘responsible’ members of the team.

Qrow wondering how to stop them and then saw the red box.

Qrow : Hey sis, their is present for you from our favorite sponsor.

Raven stopped chasing Summer and followed Qrow’s pointed finger at a red box.

She walked over to the box and opened it. She found a new sheath that had a rotation feature, so muscle memory would no longer be a liability. She found some new dust blades to replace the ones she lost along with 3 different ones, along with a note on one of them.

Qrow : What does it say?

Raven : It tells me what they are. The dark orange one is heavy light dust, it cuts through Aura like butter. The white one is light air dust which makes it invisible apparently. The last one is a dark pink one is kinetic energy dust, says it stores up attacks and then lets out a huge blast when released.

Summer : Sounds like you love the gifts Willow gave you.

Raven : Mama loves her new toys.

Summer : Well now that we have had fun, lets get ready for class. So, Qrow you can I run to . . .

Qrow began to take off his clothes while walking to the shower, not caring that Summer or Raven were in the room.

Summer began to blush when he took off his shirt and was taking off his pants. He closed the door to his restroom before he continued.

Raven (smirking) : So, checking out my baby brother now are we~?

Summer tensed up and quickly looked to the ground to avoid Raven’s gaze.

Raven : Y’know I saw him checking you out when I dressed you up. And you didn’t tell him to stop.

Summer pulled up her hoodie to cover her now red face.

Raven : I am starting to get the feeling that you ‘like like’ him.

Summer (sheepishly) : Maybe.

Raven got up to her and pulled Summer’s hoodie up, so she could see her face. She had tears lightly streaming down her checks and her lip was trembling. She looked like a lost puppy looking for its owner, too pure and sweet in this cold world.

Raven : Look, if he really likes you i’ll help you find out. Back in the cave, I wanted to help you find someone, like how I found Tai. I want my sister to be happy.

Summer let out the tears she was holding back.

Summer (crying) : I don’t know what to do. He has been with girls taller than me, bigger boobs, and . . . and . . .

Raven : And did they stay? No they didn’t. I can tell you he felt nothing for them but with you he is more relaxed and more considerate about what he says. Before he met you he cursed like a sailor now he says it every other day. You studied with him and now he is a A- student in just about everything.

Summer : But-

Raven : No buts. Look if you want to look like a model, I would be more than happy to help.

Summer hugged Raven again and mumbled ‘thank you’ on her shoulder as silently cried.

Summer and Raven pulled off each other and smiled. Summer finished wiping off her tears and was about to speak when it happened.

Raven ; Sum whats wrong?

Summer pointed down and Raven looked at the floor to see her towel had fallen off.

Raven (smiling) : So, you swing both ways now huh?

She emphasized the last part by giving Summer a little dance to embarrass the girl and lighten the mood.

Summer (blushing) : RAVEN!!

Note

the situation with 99bang is really unfortunate. i read his apology on twitter (it was in a google doc bc of how long it was) and from what i can tell he seems sincerely sorry, but it's still disappointing to know that he did those things (in particular the triplebang fics) at all. i just hope he can learn and make better choices. I'm really disappointed in him, bc i really do enjoy his art and remixes.

To seem remorseful doesn’t necessarily mean he is, and once everything dies down, it could be very well possible he’ll continue to engage in that behavior. There’s to much risk for that possibility and I just don’t want to be a part of it and I’m sure others don’t either.

Don’t get me wrong, I do understand that people do have the capability to change but they should do so without expecting for forgiveness, because apologies can’t always fix everything.

For example, I don’t particularly agree with why he mentioned that his life was not ‘easy’ because it doesn’t matter if you have a shitty life, you have the choice to overcome it and be good than let the darkness take over and mess you up.

And before someone attacks me, I have my own mental health disorders so I know how easy it is to slip into a bad headspace. But I’ve got my ways of dealing with it. Safer ways.

The weight that was taken off by writing that could have been taken off with other activities. If he was so into art and remixes he should have devoted his feelings to that. Music and art express feelings in a way words can’t. And if that wasn’t enough to give him a purpose he could have worked at a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen. Hell even join the army if he thought life was that meaningless. But not write about things that the majority has rendered illegal and immoral.

I don’t really care about his personal issues with people. That’s between them. But to post something out there so blatantly when there’s a whole generation of kids that are curious about the Internet? Yeah, not cool.

#sorry i just #had to get that out #don't worry i'm not mad at you #i just #i feel frustrated

My Thoughts on Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks

Or: Are we sure this didn’t come out in 2004 rather than 2014? Because the “battle of the bands” story line feels super dated for some reason. I feel like almost every early 2000s cartoon had some sort of music contest episode, and I never liked them. I blame American Idol for making those popular.

Some History:

I’m under the impression that everything in this movie I dislike is a completely subjective thing that wouldn’t bother someone else. I know that, from a movie standpoint, this is much better than the first, but I just don’t like it as much. Everything that warrants complaint comes from a personal hangup that I have (such as: my lack of any musical ability causes me to not care at all whether their band is successful), so if you disagree, I completely understand. These are all my opinions, and I’m aware that this is probably the best of the four movies. (As stated on a previous post, I haven’t watched any of the shorts from 2017 or 2018 as of this entry)

There were a series of promotional shorts released before the movie debuted that explains how the members of the Main 5 came to play their instruments in Rainbow Dash��s band, and some other random stuff. Here’s the link to the playlist on youtube. Here’s a quick rundown of what I think:

Music to My Ears : meh

Guitar Centered : funny, but kind of mean spirited

Hamstocalypse Now : Hilarious.

Pinkie on the One : exactly what you’d expect it to be

Player Piano: a masterpiece

A Case for the Bass: Applejack is one word, why would she have AJ embroidered on the strap? I know people call her that but those aren’t her initials

Life is a Runway: There’s a reason they didn’t let Rarity write the songs

Shake Your Tale: Bad.

This was a pretty clever way to establish some musical background within the group without taking up time in the movie. It also is some sneaky foreshadowing with Trixie, which I appreciate.

In the actual movie: My nitpicks are going to be less Why is no one in class? Why is doesn’t anyone have homework? Because I realize this is a movie and depicting high school as it actually is would be boring to watch. Besides, there are plenty of other things to complain about.

We open on a scene of this film’s villains. And yes I am going to refer to them as villains instead of antagonists because 1) they are actually a threat and we see them doing bad things, and 2) other people will serve as antagonists. A villain is different from an antagonist, even though the terms are often used interchangeably.

The Dazzlings are so cool, they make a cameo four years later. Either this is some really deep foreshadowing, or by season seven the writers were so desperate for an ongoing arc, they looked to other properties. But we now know that the guardians banished them over 1,000 years ago. So they really are ancient magic. And now they have to go to high school. Talk about eternal torment…

Way to take all the credit, Starswirl

We are shown how they are a sort of siren, who feed off of people’s negativity and discord and use their beautiful enchanted voices to cause mayhem. Kind of like a mix between Ursula the sea witch and Spectra from Danny Phantom. Oh my gosh, this is the second one of these reviews that I’ve brought up Danny Phantom. Maybe this is why Butch thinks he’s so popular.

The Dazzlings, we can infer, have been exiled to the EQG-verse from Equestria. So apparently this universe is like the pony version of colonial Australia, where they send all their criminals and miscreants. A solid plan that couldn’t have any negative repercussions. The sirens see a beam of light that must be the one from the last movie. This is good news for them, but bad news for me because now I have no idea how much time has passed the two films. Has it been a couple days? Weeks? Moons? This will make a difference in regards to why people still don’t trust Sunset. But why waste time setting up the story when we can get right into the remix title card?

At this point, I can only assume that principal Celestia threatened to expel students if they told the news or the FBI about the magical winged demon that attacked the school, because no one seems too concerned about that incident.

But they have plenty of time to hurt my baby’s feelings

I’m going to be honest, when I first watched EQG I thought that Sunset was faking her remorseful act after being defeated. As cool as that would have been, she makes a much better reformed bad guy than an antagonist, because she really wasn’t in the last movie that much.

List of “evil” things Sunset Shimmer has done: send fraudulent text messages and emails that honestly could have been pretty easily disproved, made fun of Fluttershy, made fun of the steamers in the gym, somehow divided the school into cliques, ran a mostly unsuccessful smear campaign against Twilight’s bid for dance princess, threatened to destroy the portal to Equestria, transformed into a demon to hypnotize the students, and she dissed the Apple cider.

Ok, that last one is pretty evil. But what really makes this and all subsequent movies great is that we get to see her learn and grow and change from the experience into a real friend.

I am glad to see that the Main 5 have forgiven her, but no one is quite ready to absolve her of guilt. Like, I might not think she did all that much bad junk, but the students of Canterlot High seem to think she was one tier below Mussolini in terms of maniacal dictators, so I don’t blame them for being cautious. It takes a lot to earn back trust.

Back in Equestria proper, the Mane six plus Spike are sitting around waiting for the plot to affect them. They kindly provide some exposition and once again setup the fact that only Twilight can go through the portal, because the others can’t interact with themselves. So we think. I will be bringing this up when we get to The Friendship Games.

Back through the portal, Twilight gets looped into the fact that Sunset has changed her ways. It’s fair to be a little apprehensive to trust someone who, the last time you saw them, was an actual literal demon. (Don’t worry though, Twi, you’ve still got two more unicorns to reform. It’s kind of your thing.)

Don’t reject her love Twilight, it’s all I have to live for

And now it’s time to discuss the small blue elephant in the room. I feel like I really need to explain why I dislike the addition of Flash to any of the plots. He’s kind of a waste of a potential. You want to add a male character: fine. But make them an actual real fleshed-out character. The show has proven that they can do it and do it well. Sunburst and Thorax are great characters who feel like a good addition to the story. And we got a real sense of who they were in one or two twenty minute episodes. I have no clue what this guy’s purpose is except to be a love interest, and this is not the show to do that with. With very few exceptions, the main characters of MLP have not sought out romantic partners, Twilight included. Why would she choose to do so now? I mean, I get why he’s into Twilight: she’s taken the form of a cute teenage girl. But he’s a species that doesn’t even exist in Equestria. She just fell through a portal and instantly got the hots for some weird otherworldly creature…

Wait a minute. Wait just a minute. Perhaps this isn’t compulsory heterosexuality. Perhaps Twilight Sparkle is just a Monster Lover™. I can respect that.

Moving on.

It was so very smart of the writers to have the Dazzlings brainwash the principals in order to get away with this scheme. That makes so much more sense and covers any plot holes that could arise (such as, someone claiming to be a new student despite having no transcript, no grades, and no knowledge of how to hold a pen).

Does time work differently between these two universes? Has it been months in Equestria but only a week in this world? (It really threw me off that the first four season of MLP took place over one year, and these movies don’t help that). And the sad thing is, this could be easily hand-waved away by a single throw away line, but it isn’t.

The Dazzlings are already better villains than Sunset, even from a character standpoint. We know their powers, we know their motivation, and we know they are capable of bringing about an actually believable rift between friends.

Then the best song, best montage, and possibly best scene in any of these films happen: the Dazzling come into the lunchroom and hypnotize everyone. This song is beautiful and eerie and exactly what you would expect a magic spell to sound like. I also enjoy the visual representation of the bands competing (and not just because I didn’t want to hear any of them perform) that we’ll see later. To give credit where credit is due, this movies has some great visual sequences.

Give ‘em the o’l razzle dazzle

At first I thought it was unrealistic that this many kids had bands, but I realized it was probably an effect of the spell. But I might not be the best judge: I think I know maybe three people, plus myself, who don’t play an instrument. I’ll just assume that the Disney channel exists in this universe, and all these children just really want to be famous.

It’s worth sitting through this movie just to see everyone’s pajamas. That’s not weird, right? No really, the scene of them all having a big slumber party is everything I ever wanted from this series. They managed to capture everyone’s personality from an article of clothing. Now THAT’s good character design.

I get the distinct impression that the writers of this don’t like Rainbow Dash.

Oh good, references to technology that couldn’t possibly date this movie in the slightest. Wait… this is Pinkie’s house. Aren’t the Pies supposed to be like Amish or resembling Amish-type folk? What is the human equivalent of rock farmers? Not actual farmers because those exist in the pony-verse. This really confuses me, but Maude’s cameo is fantastic.

The scene with Twilight and Sunset is one of those really well-done moments that reminds me why I love the show so much. It feels really genuine, and supports my argument that it was worth having Sunset as a crappy villain just to reform her.

Ah yes, the sweet, lingering glances that totally platonic female friends share with each other late at night. I know them well.

Our girl Twily seems to be having trouble writing a spell that can double as a catchy pop song (She’s no Lana Del Rey), so they go with an old set list. How long has this band been operational? Weren’t they in a huge feud for several years?

Mac is a close second for best cameo

So we get to watch the band audition, and it goes about as well an actual high school talent show. The CMC are in the outfits from Showstoppers (which is hilarious) and Snips and Snails rap (which is disturbing). In order to keep my goblin brain from exploding while trying to figure out the ages of everyone, I’m just going to assume that this is a combination Middle School and High School. So, if Sunset won fall dance princess four years in a row, she would be in the tenth grade now, so they would be about 15-16. The Equestria Girls Holiday Comic shows Rarity driving a car, so that could be a possibility.

A. Daft. Punk. Reference. Wow. Just wow. (Note: this was more shocking before season five, when there was a character that was basically Lady Gaga. And by basically, I mean very obviously Lady Gaga. Remember when the pop culture references in this show were subtle?)

Dash’s song is quite possibly the most cringeworthy thing I have ever heard. The only defense is it does sound like something a high schooler would write.

On that note, why is Rainbow Dash the lead singer of the group? I mean, I know why, but WHY? (and yes, I am aware that her voice actress is a singer. But Ashleigh Ball uses her normal voice when she performs. Think back to all the songs RD has sung in the previous four seasons before this aired. There are not a lot of solos or high notes. When she sings as Applejack, it is beautiful, but Dash’s voice is grating sometimes)

Really? A battle of the bands is the greatest thing you’ve done at the school? That whole “stopping an actual demon with magic” was just a regular Friday for you? I’ll chalk that up to the brainwashing, otherwise I might go full on rage and throw my laptop out a window.

I guess our merry band of protagonists weren’t paying attention to big cafeteria scene, because they just now figured something suspicious is going on.

Still haven’t fixed the lights in that dim corner of lockers. Fortunately, there are many dramatic confrontations to be had.

I think we’re supposed to see Rarity’s obsession with the outfits as a ridiculous thing, but I think it’s important to distinguish this universe from the one with the professional seamstress who has unicorn magic at her disposal. This is a teenager who has school, extracurriculars, and parents to contend with. If I went through the trouble to hand-make seven costumes for my friends, then found out no one would wear them, I’d be pretty ticked off as well.

Now this is how you montage. We get to play a fun game of “guess which characters are in which band,” and seeing their “humanized” designs. Lotta bootcut pants in this show.

I’m just going to leave this here...

This is some actually effective villainy. The whole school has turned against each other. Maybe they need to learn about the magic of friendship. Unfortunately, the gang is too busy squabbling over band stuff, and Twilight is too distracted to give an overly emotional speech.

No one in the rule book does it say magically turning into a pony is grounds for disqualification...I would assume.

If we’re being honest here, the Dazzlings are better performers than the Rainbooms.

And we’ve come to the crux of things. The scene where they’re locked under the stage is the perfect example of my biggest issue with this movie. I do not like to see Mane 6 fight. I don’t like Trade Ya, I don’t like Putting Your Hoof Down, and I despise Look Before You Sleep. Seeing this otherwise close group of friends constantly have petty arguments, even if it’s for completely valid plot reasons, make me want to turn the movie off. This isn’t a criticism of the screenwriting, it is just a reason why I personally dislike Rainbow Rocks more than the other films.

Of course, they make up because this is about the magic of friendship and what not, but notice how no one actually apologizes for their behavior. No, “I’m sorry that I minimized your contribution to the group or made fun of something you were passionate about.” I realize they were under the influence of magic, but they also knew that! They knew the Dazzlings had the power to turn people against each other! An apology is just a preamble to fundamental behavior change, and if they don’t realize why they were being bad friends, how can they learn from anything?

And the real kicker is, they knew what the Dazzlings were capable of. Twilight read a book about them immediately before going through the portal. It’s not they they just learned that they spread chaos. Why are we fighting? Gee, I don’t know.

DJ-ex-machina. I’m ok with this.

To the movie’s credit, the finale really has one of the best song of the movie. And by that, I of course mean Trixie’s song. Trixie is the most fun addition to the cast. She makes for a fun antagonist, on her own and as a Pawn to the Dazzlings.

Fight scene! Fight scene! We’re gonna have a fight scene!

Now that they’ve put their petty squabbles behind them, it’s time for a big music battle. The Dazzlings pony up harness the energy of the audience to project their Equestrian selves to...I don’t know. Take over the world or something.

This isn’t even their final form

Oh. This design looked better in book form

Sunset is Magic. That’s the show.

So the stones auto-tuned them, and that made everyone mindlessly antagonistic. I’m sure there’s some clever commentary there.

T’was the magic of friendship that killed the beast.

No, you don’t get to just rejoin the plot

Thank you, Trixie.

The real story here is how Principal Celestia will pay off the press.

Thus Twilight goes back to the land of horses, Starlight has been truly forgiven, and my Netflix suggestions will never been the same again.

I want to give a big shout out to the person who put all the captions on the image gallery for this movie’s wikia page. They are funnier than I could ever hope to be.

Some general thoughts:

The scene of Twilight awkwardly yelling “Friendship is magic!” to a room of confused teenagers is the cringiest thing I’ve ever seen, but it got a good laugh out of me. Look at the Dazzlings faces in this scene. “Ok, we legitimately didn’t see that coming.”

One of the reasons that I am so drawn to the show is that they are able to create conflict and drama without being mean-spirited. I have to deal with that kind of nonsense so much in my daily life, I just don’t want to subject myself to eighty minutes of it. But i get it: from a narrative standpoint, this is the most cohesive. There’s some good set up and pay off, and an actually intimidating villain who is actually present in the plot.

I love Trixie so much, I should be dead. She really is the star of the show. I forgot how little we saw of her before season six.

The stinger, oh the stinger. Forget what I said about the pajama party; it was worth sitting through this for the promise of an interesting sequel.

We’ll get to you soon, you marvelous lesbian disaster.

Starlight’s redemption is the best part of this franchise, and it’s worth all the nonsense to hear Rebecca Shoichet’s angelic voice.

From a purely film standpoint, this is probably the best one of the bunch. It has a clear structure, everyone’s motivations check out, there’s an actual climax that feels earned. I just don’t enjoy it. There are worse ways to spend eighty minutes 3.7/5

The worst thing to come from this, however, is the terrifying merchandise:

What Fresh Hell is This?

The Spark (2/3)

Thank you to @electricpoolshark for helping me edit this! Cross-posted to ao3.

The shot rang through the crowded warehouse that Lúcio had commandeered for his party. Almost immediately, the people near the back stopped dancing, and the energy that had once sustained the crowd dwindled quickly as people realized exactly what they had heard.

Lúcio, of course, knew immediately that something was wrong. Even had he not noticed the fear that spread like wildfire through the crowd, he knew his own music well enough to know that there was no gunshot noise in any of his songs, not even the remixes. And so he launched himself over the edge of the stage, neglecting to so much as turn the music down.

"All right, make a path for me, I'm gonna go check on what just happened. I'm sure everything is fine. You all just stay in here and enjoy okay? Maybe grab some punch, sit down if you're feeling lightheaded, you know the drill. All right? All right? Okay," he refrained as he pushed his way through the crowd, making sure to keep a smile on his face and his posture loose. After all, if he did not act calm, how could he expect anyone else to? He didn't exactly believe what he was saying, not really, but it was a white lie at best. Something to prevent the situation —whatever it turned out to be— from escalating. Unfortunately, his lie was transparent at best, given that the people closest to him did not seem all that reassured by his passing. He couldn't focus long enough to see the reactions of anyone deeper in the crowd.

What he found outside was as bad as he had feared. There were a few people scattered about looking horrified, but the majority had crowded into a tight circle near the back fence. Across from them was a growing wall of mercenaries, who seemed to be advancing slowly on his guests. Lúcio realized that this had been the origin of the gunshot, approached and immediately noticed a woman lying on the ground between the crowd and the mercenaries.

He grabbed onto the nearest person and looked them dead in the eye before commanding them, "Listen to me. Are you listening? Good. I keep a first aid kit backstage. Here's my pass to get in. Bring her back there and patch her up. If you don't know how, find someone who does. Do you understand? Good, now go."

He then directed his attention to the wall officers inching closer to him. They seemed to offer no remorse, no pity, no... anything really. In fact, they seemed to him like this was just an ordinary day, something they would complain about back at home to equally disinterested spouses and children. Didn't they see what was happening? Couldn't they understand how important this would be? Don't they see they're strangling us?

Noticing no signs of stopping, however, Lúcio appealed to a more direct route. "Listen," he called out. "We're not hurting anyone. You can see that. So why are you here? Why don't you just go home?" No response. "Look, we came out here where no one was; I mean I get that the music's pretty loud, but you can barely hear it out here, and we're kilometers away from any residential area." Still no response. The officers were getting uncomfortably close, and the group behind Lúcio had already begun to back up in response. He tried again. "Hey, there's no need for all of this, we'll leave, okay? Just wanted to have some fun. Let loose every now and again, you know?"

Finally, a response echoed from down the line. "You and everyone here are guilty of violating curfew and noise regulations, trespassing, and disturbing the peace. It's our job to bring you in so that you can be appropriately punished."

"Wait you're trying to arrest us? For this? We're not even doing anything, not really."

"You are out past curfew. That is enough to arrest you, even without the plethora of evidence against you."

"You're serious? Oh Hell no, we're going home tonight." With this statement, he took a step forward, so that he was touching the merc in front of him, daring him to step forward again. "You hear me? We're going home tonight!" he shouted, hopefully loud enough to be heard inside the warehouse.

Clearly, he had done the right thing, since he could hear the crowd behind him beginning to murmur. "We're going home tonight!" he screamed one last time, hoping and, for the first time in many years, praying that the crowd would play off his energy the way they always did. And with that, he pushed, leveraging his weight and decades of hockey to throw the man in front of him backwards and break the line.

Thank God it paid off. The instant the officer hit the ground, people started pouring around them and through the formerly impregnable wall. Lúcio ensured that the officer wasn't being trampled, since people did have a tendency to lose track of their own behavior in a mob. Once that was done, he rushed back to make sure as many people got out as possible.

"Everyone listen up! Vishkar's outside, and they're not very happy. Here's what's going to happen: all of you are going to go outside, you're going to find a hole in their lines, and you're going to run through it. You're also going to stay in groups because you do not want to be singled out by these guys okay? Then you're going to head directly home, turn out all of your lights, and you're going to stay there until the morning. Everybody got me? Good. Now go!" And then he got out of the way and found a nice, conspicuous place to stand where people could find him easily.

He spent the next few minutes scouting out places to run, and occasionally to hide, as people came to him looking for direction. For the most part, it was unnecessary. The mercs' command structure was loose at best, and they hadn't come prepared for a riot, so all it took to overrun them was a big enough group of people whose only goal was to get out.

Then, as the crowds began to wear thin, and the mercs began to regain control, Lúcio began to ferry people through the holes he found, and even creating a few when necessary.

However, even this could not last forever, and the officers regrouped and made another push, this time using hard-light bullets instead of the weaker (although still lethal) rubber bullets they had previously been using. And God Almighty was it effective. Whatever fighting spirit the few hundred remaining people had left began to die rapidly. Looking around, Lúcio saw there was good reason for it. There were people (mostly civilians, although there were some cops too) lying everywhere, writhing in pain; at a glance, no one looked seriously injured, but the threat of unbearable pain and the disabilities that sometimes came with hard-light bullets was enough to make anyone think twice, even in a mob. So Lúcio took action once more.

He approached the woman leading the mercs, or at the very least, the one who had yelled at him earlier. Seeing her entourage raise their weapons at him, he raised his hands and stopped.

"Look. These people, they're not bad people. They came here because I told them to."

"It's far too late for bargaining, ruffian. Besides, these people know the consequences of breaking the law."

"No, no, you don't understand. My voice has a lot of power in these parts. You're not from here, you wouldn't know that I guess. But, for the most part, they do what I say. What I'm saying is that without me, they wouldn't, couldn't even, group up again, not in any serious way. But you can't catch me. I'm faster than every one of you here. So let's make a deal."

"No. Like I said, it's too late to make a deal." She then turned to one of the other officers and ordered him to "arrest this idiot."

Of course, he never got that chance, since Lúcio had already moved well out of range by the time he had gotten out his handcuffs. "One last chance. You don't want anyone else to get hurt. Neither do I. So let's work something out."

The officer paused, considering this. "Fine. We take you and half of the people left here."

"No can do. You let them go and you can have me. Otherwise you'll just have another riot on your hands tomorrow, the day after, and every day after that."

"And how do I know I can trust you?"

"You can trust me. I'll stay right here, but I'm going to watch every person who can still walk get out of here before you lay a finger on me. Got it?"

"Okay. They're free to go. The ones who can't walk stay in our custody though."

Damn. Well, at least they'd be hospitalized. Hopefully.

"Okay. Let's do this."
