Learned why Arven wanted to hunt down all those herbs and instantly went to fight off three more Titans in 10 mins, two of which were stronger then my own Pokémon. 

I won through sheer force of will. 

More Naruto rants

So, I’ve (stupidly, just now) realized that the reason I’m so fixated on Zabuza’s arc is because I got to see it like three times on TV before my country had enough spanish dub chapters to get on with the rest of the plot. So I got atached, is the one that gets me more nostalgic, and it’s the one I remember best. I also got time to properly process it before the more cult-ish bullshit started. And I thought the rest of the series would go a bit like that arc with, you know, ninja mercenaries who work for money in a world that sees them as tools but where they have their own ambitions and reasons and goals of a more or less normal human scale. The part where Gato arrives and the antagonism between Zabuza and Kakashi instantly ends when money is no longer on the table shaped a lot of my expectations for the future of the series (that I couldn’t articulate back when I was twelve, so I’m doing it now).

For starters, Gato is a fucking civilian. A rich fuck who does business and buys killers-for-hire. That’s how the system suposedly works. Where do the civilians go after the chunin exams? Where do the jobs go? Where does the money come from without them? I expected to see Naruto, with his newly decided path, clash with the system he lives in. I expected his elders (with the exception of Iruka and Kakashi) to try and coax him into the “right” path. Something along the lines of “I understand your feelings but that’s what must be done to keep the village running”. And Naruto finding ways to circunvent his orders, to find the loopholes that let him get away with it. Even if it’s just “I got the important thing done, what do you care if I didn’t kill those people?“. I didnt want to see him spare a genocidal megalomaniac but a fellow ninja who’s doing his own side of the job. Wouldn’t “If you kill my friends I’ll kill you, but if you’re done trying not only will I leave you go but I’ll defend you against my partners” be a lot more interesting and give nice posibilities for the future? Would the spared person take advantage of his kindness and fuck him over? Would they apreciate the gesture and start thinking that things can change? Would they “pay it forward” and spare someone that didn’t necesarily need to be killed? And if they did fuck him over despite his kindness, how would naruto justify his actions to his superiors? Would he be conflicted about his choices or would he be steadfast in his beliefs regardless of other people’s actions?

But with the way canon progresses after that first set up Naruto is not changing the system, he’s getting privileges. He can do what he wants because people in power like him. Veteran shinobi would have reason to hate him (”this upstart rookie gets to decide to go chasing an enemy of the state to save him while I have to bust my ass in bloody trenches to make ends meet?”)

I know the talk-no-jutsu is a joke but it’s somewhat accurate. He’s all talk. He never risked getting consecuences for his chosen path, mostly because Kishimoto made a good job making us forget we were watching mercenaries. If the world building wasn’t all kinds of wonky then at some point Naruto’s choices would’ve put him at odds with the people in power, and I don’t just mean the obviously corrupt ones. But Naruto wormed his way into their hearts for some reason and because of that they made exceptions for him, but no one is shown making significant changes to the context they live in. And about that context: they start by saying “shinobi are tools“, and sure, that’s true. But in the first arc they are tools for the people in power, who are not the five kages. The people in power are the people with money and the people who rule the countries. The Kages are just the top brass of the military, who get paid by the people in power. But later, shinobi start being tools for other shinobi with more grandiose ideas and the civilians pretty much disapear unless it’s to fill the background in cities. Their power structures lose all significance and relevance.

And because Naruto is never faced with the posibility of actual, structural, systemic concecuences to his own person then his choices lose a lot of weight. He spares the genocidal megalomaniac, the dude resurrects everyone and then dies. Everything works in the end. And no one gets on Naruto’s case about how you can’t expect all your enemies to die for you. In a military world that doesn’t make much sense, no matter how well everything worked out. The situation would be a lot more interesting if Nagato hadn’t died, and instead left to keep taking care of his war-ravaged homeland. If the super strong enemy we didn’t even defeated walks away, can we really trust he won’t have another change of heart? He seems plenty fickle, after all (he resurrected on a whim all the people he sprent the last couple hours killing. That sounds fucked up). And Naruto would have to defend him, because no way in hell will I believe that everyone in konoha would decide to let a threat of that level be. Not with the word of a sixteen year old pseudo-rebel as the only guarantee.

I wanted to see Naruto garnering support from his peers. Some would be easier than others. Hinata was on his corner from the get go. With the right conversation he’d get Neji too. Rock Lee is a ball of sunshine who’s been belittled more or less constantly, he’d be all up for it too. Sakura comes from a civilian background (if I’m not mistaken) so she is somewhat shocked at the way the world works. She didn’t get it drilled into her the same way others did. It wouldn’t be easy for her, and with some help and prompting she’d be okay with changing it.

And Sasuke. You wouldn’t even need to change his storyline too much, just get rid of the part where Kaguya had a hand in the destiny of the world, in planting misleading information. Get rid of the suposed reincarnation cycle that takes away the importance of personal choices. Basically, get rid of all the alien subplot. You’re still left with a boy who’s been wronged in all posible ways by his countrymen and government. You don’t need Kaguya’s bullshit scheme to make the shit in Konoha look horrible. They do that on their own.

You’d get Naruto finding out about Danzo (who’s covered in stolen eyes from fellow villagers, WTF) and Root, about the Uchiha masacre. He’d get angry on Sasuke’s behalf, and Sai’s, and Zabuza’s even (killing your friends as a test? Naruto knows that doesn’t lead anywhere good). And wheter Sasuke had left the village or not they would be both in the same side for this. If Naruto had been convincing people of the inherent corruption of the system then that would become an all out rebellion and upheaval of the government (instead of the assassination of one dubious character).

That would tie in with the renegade thing (are they “missing-nin” in english?). How many of them are labelled criminals for doing terrible things and how many are because of disagreements with their governments? How many are turned into scape-goats and then exiled? How many people who do terrible things keep living as respected members of their communities just because their interests align with the interests of those in power?

......and I’ve run out of steam but, long story short, I’ve always felt cheated at the what if’s

Part 2

I griped the edges of the sink and stared into the mirror that was clouded from the steam, the bathroom was warm still from the from the bathroom heater and the hot shower I just took. I splashed my face with water and when I looked back up I wasn't looking at the mirror anymore. I was sitting in the gunners hatch of the Humvee on our route clearance mission. "Hey Y/L/n" I heard my Sergeants voice over the roar of the engine, "yes sar'nt" I ducked down into the humvee to hear him better. "Anderson's sick from chow last night and want to trade and take his dismount mission with the guys?" I looked at Anderson then back at my NCO and nodded. I slid my harness off and switched spots with Anderson, and began reading the mission brief notes he had taking. For the dismount mission we were going to be walking 2 miles ahead of the convoy clearing with handheld mine detectors. We were looking out for both command wires and IEDs, I was going to me walking behind Roger's who was going to be walking with the PSS-14 mine detector.

The humvee slowly stopped and I opened my door doing my 5-10-15making sure there was nothing on the ground before getting out. I walked to the truck behind me and placing my hand on Roger's shoulder. He smiled and we all got in formation, the walk was slow as we cleared out was towards the village. Roger stopped abruptly and I turned my head "all stop" I whispered to Mendez who was behind me, he repeated it down the line and I walked closer to Roger. "What's up?" He looked at me nervously, "listen" I took the ear piece from him and he moved the mine detector forward. It pinged something and I nodded "ok... mark it and go around... dude relax we trained for this." I patted his shoulder and gave him space he took a few minutes to mark the mine and make a path around it. Mendez radioed up what was going on and we moved on.

We were about 100 yards from the village when Roger called an all stop again and began marking. I walked closer to make sure he was ok and thats when I heard the pop. Seconds later Roger's head drops back and he falls down, I felt a burning in my arm but I ignored it. "CONTACT 12" I yelled and everyone dropped, I started shooting back towards the building and a man fell from the roof followed by a rifle. I crawled up to Roger and and grabbed his IOTV pulling his lifeless body up. I threw him on my shoulder to fireman carry him and I called out to Mendez. Mendez ran up crabbing the PSS-14 and we ran back towards the Vehicles. We put Roger's in the medics vehicle as to protocol and got back inside the trucks to head back to base.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!" I punch the side of the humvee and screamed Mendez put his hand on my shoulder. "Theres nothing you could've done" I turned and squeezed now tender hand and began pacing. "He was just a kid Mendez.... I was supposed to be pulling security but I wasnt. I could've seen the sniper before he took the shot." I pulled my gloves off and threw then down. Mendez grabbed my shoulders then cringed letting me go "Y/L/n hey go shower and change....your covered in blood." I wince and grabbed my arm. The adrenaline had subsided and the pain was becoming more prevalent. I walked into the bay and pulled off my gear letting it fall to the ground, Mendez helped me slide my OCP top off leaving me in my green under shirt.

"Shit I'll get a medic." Mendez took off and I sighed sitting on the bench, the bullet had gone through Roger and lodged itself in my bicep. Moments later Kinley our medic came running up with Mendez on her heels. I lifted my sleeve out of the way so she could see it better and she sighed. "Theres no exit wound so the bullet is still in there I need you to come to the medic bay" I nodded and grabbed my too following Kinley.

~~~~

I tugged my sleeve down over the scar on my bicep and grabbed my bag, Dr. Dressa had sighed me up for an acting class to try and socialize me more and help me acclimate to civilian life. I walked drove to the building and sighed getting out of my car. As I was waking up to a building there was a blonde telling off some guy who looked clueless. "I was gonna ask if this is the acting class but considering the drama I'm guessing it is." I said chuckling as I walked up next to the man. He looked at me and nodded "you new?" I shrugged "yep don't necessarily want to be here though" I followed him inside and he furrowed his brows "then why are you here" I sat on one of the chairs and leaned back.

"My Doctor thinks it will help me come back to the real world." He nodded "what branch were you in?" I looked at him surprised he knew what I ment "uh Army... I was a Combat Engineer" he nods and looks at me with a half smile "I was in the Marines." I smiled "Ever deploy?" I asked looking down at my hands. "Yup did you?" He looked at me and I nodded "yuuuup.I'm Y/n by the way..." He stood up and put his hand on my shoulder "Barry... and uh you'll like the class" I looked up at him and faked a smile. "Thanks" he walked away and I stood up looking around. Mr. Cousineau walked in and looked at me "who are you?" I grabbed a paper from my bag and walked up to him "uh hi... I'm Y/n Doctor Dressa signed me up she said she emailed you and uh heres a written form from her." He took the paper and nodded pointing to the chairs.

He started talking about the Macbeth play they were going to preform, I wasnt paying attention when someone kicked my chair. I blinked a few times and looked at Gene who was staring at me, "ok I'll as again. Doctor Dressa told me she had you prepare a monologue. You have to perform one to get into my class." I stood up and pulled my sleeve down subconsciously. "Uh yeah I'm thought the last speech from uh Blackhawk Down." I he nodded and pointed to the stage, I nodded walking forward. "There's still men out there...... Goddam!... when I go home and people ask me 'hey hoot. Why do ya do it man? Why? You some kind of war junkie?' I won't say a goddam word. Why? They wont understand. They wont understand why we do it. They wont understand it's about the men next to you. And that's it, that's all it is"

I blinked and the image of Roger falling to the ground flashed in my head, I tried to push it back but it was to late. I stood there in horror at my ears started ringing and I was back in Afghanistan, the truck had hit an IED and it damaged the driver side of the vehicle. I was gunner on the mission since I refused to go dismounted again after Roger died, something hit my leg and I screamed in pain. I ducked into the humvee and looked at the driver who was leaned forward on the steering wheel bleeding. Then a gun shot and the body was falling off the roof and I was lifting Roger to carry him back.

I started breathing heavily as my PTSD hit me like a car speeding towards a brick wall. I started shaking, I looked for an escape and ran into the dressing room. I started pacing and repeatedly ran my hands through my hair, I heard footsteps but I ignored them. "Hey you ok" I recognized Barry's voice but it was foggy as the voice of Roger played through my mind. "You alright" he asked again. "He was a fucking kid" I stopped infront of the wall clenching my fists and squeezing my eyes shut. "When we get back home I'm gonna purpose to my girl" his voice echoed in my head and I punched the wall. "He was a kid.." I put my back to the wall and slid down "a fucking kid" I hid my face in my knees and cried, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up from my knees and seen Barry sitting infront of me "I could've saved him I could stopped the sniper.... I should've done my job" he gulped and looked down. He chewed his lip and I sighed, "sorry." He looked up and shook his head "don't be its perfectly fine to have PTSD from deployment." I nodded.

"I haven't had an attack like this since the day I got back to the states..." I hugged my knees resting my chin on them. "Want to talk about it?" I looked at him and shook my head "not really" he nodded and stood up holding out his hand, I took his hand standing up "how about we go get some drinks instead" I smiled at him and nodded "yeah I'm down" I wiped my eyes and walked out to my car Barry walked next to me with his hands in his pockets. "You wanna ride with me or uh want me to follow you?" I asked pulling my keys out of my pocket, "I uh I can ride with you if you dont mind" I smiled and unlocked the car and we both got in.

We didnt talk on the way to the bar but I could tell there was something burdening him. The way he sat staring out the side window with his hands on his lap, palms flush against his thighs. When we arrived at the bar we ordered a round of shots and a beer, he got up to go to the restroom leaving his phone on the bar next to me. I took a drink of my beer and looked at his phone as it lit up and started buzzing. Noho Hank.... weird name... I thought about answering the phone for him but before I had the chance to give it a second thought he came up behind me grabbing his phone. He sighed loudly and put the phone to his ear walking away from me.

When he came back he plopped down on the chair and taking a drink of his beer, "everything ok?" I looked over at him "yeah I'm fine just work stuff" he mumbled almost inaudible. I nodded and ordered two more shots, "here cheers to the military we, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing." We clinked glasses then brought them back down tapping the bar before taking the shot.

He pulled out a 50 and payed our tab, which I thanked him for repeatedly. We walked outside and the cold air hit me causing a shiver to run through my body. I fished my keys out of my pocket and quickly got into the car, Barry sat down in the passenger seat and buckled up. "Hey you wanna get breakfast tomorrow?" He looked at me and I smiled "yeah... I'd love to" he smiled and nodded. "Here put your number in my phone and I can text you my address" I handed him my phone as I drove back to the theater to take him to his car.

I parked my car behind his and turned to him "thanks for hanging out with me. It may not seem like it but I had a lot of fun." He nodded as I spoke and unbuckled his seatbelt. "Yeah me too. I'll uh... I'll see you tomorrow morning."

Part 2

Ok ok ok So who are your favs? Also do you have OCs/player characters from dnd? >:3 tell me all!

i love... the beta kids... so much.... you started with them and you end with them. 

for critical role its so hard to pick a fave but for campaign 1 i adored pike and grog (hit me hard with that inseperable childhood bond yea babey), and i totally didnt just adopt vax as soon as i met him. for campaign 2... i legitimately cannot pick at all (if you made me pick id say jester but lbr i love all of them equally)

*cracks knuckles* okayyy you asked and I Deliver. im a dm so i barely get to play any of the characters i want to embody buuuuut PLEASE ACCEPT MY DND CHARACTERS:

nika is a tiefling rogue who’s blind, very very young but talented at picking locks. her father is out fighting in a war, leaving her mother to deal with having to single parent a tiefling family in a city that wont accept them. nika has a soft spot for her mother and knows that they need the money to survive and joined an underground guild that reluctantly let her in due to her skills and her mother’s past with them (mama disapproves of this, but lets nika slip past her just because shes secretly proud) shes very wary of everyone and purposefully acts grumpy, but trusts deeply when you get her to open up. she likes music and bards in particular, with their magically evocative words and tunes.

mayonnaise is a human barbarian. hes the first dnd character i ever made and his name came from how i thought it was hilarious that the retired leader of a barbarian clan whos very strong and old and wise, yet his name is.... mayonnaise.... lmao.... anyways, the dude is super old but still kicking, loves kids and constantly takes everyone under his wing, teaching them how to protect themselves.

tacoma is a gnome necromancy wizard, who grew up as an orphan in the temple of lliira and looked up to famous cleric lilianna. wanting to follow in her footsteps, he trained hard as an acolyte, yet discovered that he did not have the same divine connections that the others did, and left the temple (without any fuss, they adored the boy) and went to discover his own path. he always had an affinity for the dead.

anyway heres a rough outline of my thought process thru the movie from what i can remember 

a dude walked in wearing a justice league shirt and it was the biggest power move of the evening

rip heimdall u truly were the hottest bitch in the mcu

i already saw the spoilers that loki died but im still in mourning. my chaotic twink son :( also him tearing up when thor was getting tortured was like, possibly, one of the worst things to happen to me this evening. and his “you will never be a god” and “we will see the sun rise again yet, brother” like i’d rather be dead.

wheres valkyrie you fucking bitches

i know marvel has been trying to make me care about pepper and tony for like.... the entirety of the mcu and in theory i enjoy it but in reality i just heavily do not care

walked into this w out watching dr strange bc i refuse to so seeing him was very unpleasant for me :/

the second that one fuckin... servant of thanos guy showed up that tony called squidward i just burst into fucking laughter bc oh my fucking god. he looks like one of the star wars prequels aliens. i didnt know how i was supposed to react to that??? what the fuck????? kin? 

at least this time tony attempted to get peter away from the fight ig??? also like okay i kno its a running gag but did the russos have to make peter reference old movies like what 3 times in this movie and once in their last one like please..... Please. its done. its over! 

look...... look. look! look. i have made MULTIPLE posts on this website about how ugly i think chris evans is. especially when hes got his weird short, spiky hair. ive made this very VERY clear. i thought i was clear on this, myself. but let me tell u the fuck what when steven grant rogers showed up covered in complete darkness and caught a spear that moves at the speed of light w no hesitation and then stepped out of the shadows i only had one thought: please raw me

also i still dont care about wanda and vision but did wandas accent get slightly less bad or is this just exposure

drax’s reaction to thor was um. Me. also it was this scene that made me realize that ppl saying that the russos reset thor to his previous characterization and that he was nothing like ragnarok thor i....????? hm???? idk i thought he was p in character from what we saw in ragnarok? like did u all expect him to be super light and happy go lucky immediately after his entire planet died and his brother died too like. what.... did u Want. hes still not as grimdark as dark world and he still has the ragnarok vibes but w added “Lifes a Fucking Nightmare So Im Going to Joke Until Someone Murders Me :)” which is just honest to god me, so

oh also in an above part when tony pulled out a flip phone to call steve the dude next to me loudly hissed “what? a fucking flip phone-?” and his wife shushed him. i wanted to lean over and inform him that it was the phone from civil war and if hed been paying ATTENTION he wouldve known that

things arent going to be in much order after this bc im tired and its all a big jumble in my adhd brain but thats okay. its been 6 years and i still couldnt tell u the entire plot of the avengers, so.

tbh the effects in this movie were really fucking gorgeous like.... all the different planets’ scenery was so goddamn beautiful. like idk how to spell it so im not gonna attempt but the planet that gamora died on was literally so fucking pretty i was stunned into a silence what the FUCK was that beautiful nonsense

not enough steve and bucky interaction bc marvels personally out to get me, a known gay

i cant believe buckys a fucking goat farmer like ohfa sdfhadof ?????? just let the man feed his goats in PEACE 

didnt love the whole “thanos really loved gamora” bit but like it makes sense ig. if thats what he thought love was? altho that definitely doesnt mean she loves him or shouldve ever forgiven him bc uuuh Yikes. anyone w abusive parents knows that kind of possessive, overbearing love. and it might be some fucked up twisted form of it but it aint good.

but whoever they casted as baby gamora was spot on? 

when red skull lifted his hood i literally whispered “oh my god” and the lady next to me started laughing at me. 

also while there was a good amount of fighting i rlly appreciated that it wasnt All Fighting and just there to show off that they had cool special effects. like.... it was mostly story and for someone who doesnt give a shit abt action sequences it was v relieving that i didnt have to parse through 2 and a half hours of watching someone do cool but impractical stunts 

man idc abt wanda and dont like mcu natasha bc of the actress but when that chick was like “youll die alone” and natasha said “shes not alone” and then kicked ass i rlly just. hm. thats lesbian.

anyone else agree that when strange said mournfully that there was only one outcome and then said that giving up the time stone was the only way, its basically just telling us that this was all planned and it Will work out fine bc he knew that this was the one path that would lead to them winning. like..... im at least 99% sure thats whats going to happen, here.

steve and bucky may have said 2 sentences to each other but steve reaching out to grab a handful of buckys ashes w a stricken look was literally the worst moment of my entire life and i plan to sue marvel for emotional damages bc that was fucking terrible and i cannot BELIEVE they made me watch that idc if bucky comes back im fuckin pissed

also thats literally every team iron man member to realize that the accords were bullshit and if its 2018 and u still think the accords were right/a good thing i honestly do not know what to tell you

fuckin..... im lookin at captain marvels powers and shes cool and all but hows she gonna save all this........ now im even more curious abt what her movies gonna bring like ???? hello??????

also the only time the theater clapped or cheered was when steve showed up and literally same

i know all the dust ppl r coming back but alsof uc kin......... that was brutal

idk i dont have much 2 add im very sleepy but

i liked it a lot and im excited for the next movie. there were some things that i thought were in poor taste but like..... thats what i expect from every marvel movie, so. im pleasantly surprised by how good this was. idk why but during it it kinda like.... it had the same vibes as return of the king????? like i dont know Why but it has a very.... lotr movie feel to it. but w the staple marvel jokes. idk how to feel about that. i think its good? im not sure. get back to me in a few days after the movie highs worn off and if i still like it then its got my stamp of approval. 

Lmao what was your problem with Black Panther and Homecoming???

well, The movie itself wasnt bad, was simple and kinda underwhelming in my opinion, it was over hyped. The problem I have with Black Panther for me is T’Challa.

I was so hype for the guy in Civil War, I was fuck yeah this dude is going to be amazing. but then I was disappointed. and here is why, In my opinion he was very hypocrite. He spent the whole movie seeking revenge because the winter soldier killed his father, but when he sees that zemo also wanted revenge because the avengers killed his family, he suddenly change his mind??? why?? dude! you were like him just a minute before… and in that scene nothing happened for you to change your mind other than seeing yourself in this dude, the logic path would have been going after the avengers because they killed this man’s family that caused your father’s death.

but okay, I couldnt judge him with only one movie, so I waited for Black Panther, and was nervous because all the reviews said it was amazing, that was weird, nothing bad? not a single critic? no movie is perfect. 

the movie was okay. Wakanda was amazing, everything about wakanda was great, architecture, clothes, culture. I loved Wakanda so much that i was sad when they leave to Korea, I was “no please, stay in wakanda i want to see more!”. I loved Shuri so much! I was smiling every time she was on screen! and Okoye! she was amazing and fun and did you see her rock that dress???! I even liked the gorilla people of the mountains! and Killmonger was such a cool villain! but this is the MCU, of course they are going to waste him.

again, the problem I had wasnt about Black Panther the movie, but with Black Panther the character. he didnt change from civil war, how old is he? sometimes he acts like a responsible adult and king and others like a silly teenager?? he was the whole movie saying that wakanda must stay hidden and then he decides to open to the world? you know you are putting your people at risk?? I was so happy when Thanos snap him outta existence! because it means that now Shuri is the Queen, Shuri is now the Black Panther! Good Job Thanos.

In other hand, Im not Black nor from the USA, so it didnt had the same impact culturally for me, but I understand its importance, Black Panther for you wasnt just a movie, it was an event, an statement, a movement, and its great, I really hope this movie opens the door for more black talent in Hollywood. but for others countries, who doesnt have the same reality as USA, Black Panther was just another marvel movie, and most of the people I know went to see it because was the last movie before infinity war. most people I know went to see it because the soul stone had a high chance to be there, Black Panther was just another chapter in the infinity gauntlet story.

and for Homecoming the answer is simple, I dont like Peter Parker that much, and I didnt like the fact they took so much from Miles Morales and give it to Peter… dude, your boy Peter has a lot of story to take from, dont steal Miles’ friend… and that “Flash” it was so obvious he was supposed to be Harry Osborn, and whats with all the fake bullying? dude, both of you are fucking nerds, stop, this doesnt make sense! and I was kinda disappointed that, even with this so amazingly diverse school, didnt see some characters pop in the background like lets say, Gwen Stacy, Miles Morales, Kamala Khan, Amadeus Cho, Robbie Reyes, Cindy Moon, Ava Ayala, America Chavez, Teddy Altman, and even with some time travel/magic you can have Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepher… 

Im not saying giving them a casting or a line, but a teacher could have dropped some names as a neat easter egg, you could have Kamala introduced here to hype Captain Marvel even more, you can have Miles, Gwen and Cindy all get their powers in the same incident with Peter, you can have Amadeus since him mom already show up in Ultron, and with that you can introduce a new Hulk 

Other than Peter not being my favorite character, the movie missed so many opportunities to build the MCU…. and the movie at times was so damn boring, most of the people were using their phones and i didnt care, I enjoyed seeing the nudes the guy front of me received. 

I think another thing it helped was I dont like comics focused in one character, Im more of a team guy, I love reading about relationships between members, either if they are romantic or just friends, and how that relationships have a weight in the story and affect it, Thats why I dont like Batman but I love the batfamily. or I dont like Wolverine, but I love his kids so much. I love teams so much, I love Young Justice, The Runaways, Young Avengers, Teen Titans, Titans, The Justice League, Justice Society, CW’s Legends of Tomorrow, Power Rangers, and the list goes on. I love Teams and Interactions. 

in conclusion, did I hate the movies? no. did I had problems with them? yes. Im I saying the movies were bad and no one should like them? fuck no! who the fuck am i to tell you what to enjoy? if you like it, go you! Im really happy for you. the movies just were bad for me.

GYBurst of Inspiration/Motivation

Where does inspiration come from? - Snacks I recorded a song with Samuel Hawkins recently and that was the first line of his verse. Lately thats been on my mind more and more. Where does my inspiration come from and why cant I always bask in its motivational energies? Seems that my drive comes and goes with the moon phases or as planets enter and leave our orbit. Could be the skys dictating my moods and movements (which i think it does have an effect) or it could be the mass amount of coffee and tea i drink a day. Definitely important factors but not quite the source. My mom definitely motivates me, she believes in everything Im doing and helps every way that she can. Its not financially but sometimes emotional support is more important. Shouts out to Momma B you the realist. Same for my homies and not homies as in people i force myself to be around, cuz having friends is what you do. Actual family that i grew up with and have developed a relationship with, the GYB family. The ones who sat me down years ago and was like dude...... you need to take this rap shit seriously. The ones who are now getting more and more involved with the movement every day, pushing everything to the side and riding along with my dream and making them their own. Everyday the homies are pushing to help me create this vision for you guys as they've adopted it as their own. Like minds on the prize, Shouts out the Layer homies. That only seems to be half of it tho, and Ive never felt this type of fire burning inside me before so what is it? Magazine drama and BS doesn't motivate me, Music doesn't seem to hit me the same way anymore. I used to listen to music constantly, new rap definitely doesn't do it for me.....makes me feel lower. New tv shows dont do it for me im bored with most of the popular shows out. Same for games or just typical activities that people partake in. Partys, drugs, random hook ups...It all seems so blah to me and im completely uninterested. I learned I have to stop feeding my lower self and focus on my higher self and what that part of my being truly wants and thats to CREATE!!! Whenever im around an environment that drives me to create and push myself i perform better. So i guess i just realized what really inspires me, and thats a creative environment. Who is responsible for this? Well I saw the Rotunda Project last weekend at Maiden Alley, a collaborative piece by Fairseas. The Fairseas are a group of musicians named Jeran Simmons, Bobby Dowell, Codie Franklin and Shanden Simmons. I watched them plant this seed years ago and now its a giant tree that you can sit back and marvel in its greatness. The main theme of the film was collaborating with your community. I cant lie ive had many many thoughts of leaving my community to collaborate elsewhere but ive came to a realization recently that it isnt necessary. To my surprise and probably a lot of people around here, there is a bubbling hip hop scene around here that is about to explode. Ive started to invest my time and efforts into this scene now and received nothing but results. Shanden has been a major influence in my artistry because he is always honest, encouraging and persistent....three very important characteristics to have in a creative environment and on top of that has become one of what i would consider my best friends. I look at him as one of my GYBrothers. On to the hip hop scene around here tho..... mysterious person named "A" aka the Hollow Man and he is one of the most promising producers/writers around. His solo stuff is outstanding and the collaboration effort we are working on "A & B: The Empire" is next level. Its been well over a year in the making and will shock most people when they hear the new styles i bring to the tape compared to my previous work. A always challenges me to be very intelligent when I piece together my verses and I like that. He makes me want to grab a dictionary and start reading so I can match his extensive vocabulary.....and maybe I have done that lol. Im the ONLY artist that the mystery man works with at the moment and that hits me now in a way it never has before. Like why me, do I really have something in my music that would make this beyond talented artist spend his time and efforts to make beats for us to collab on and want to include me in everything he does? His beats are above any producer Ive ever heard even in the big leagues of the rap game its crazy but he will prolly have his own GYBlog entry about him eventually. I have to move on before i make this to long lol. Next is JSkrilla, I have met the Skrilla a few times in passing but i dont think we realized what each other really could offer the other. Until i ran into him at the damn ROTUNDA PROJECT.....back around full circle. After that we decided to get together. We showed each other some of our music. I didnt know he made dope beats as well as spit hot fucking fire but he does. We shared our philosophies for our craft and talked hip hop and all sorts of other randomness. Then we picked a beat and wrote a song on the spot. Bar for bar back and forth. J stressed to me it had been a LONG time since he had been able to just sit down and write with another emcee that wasnt intimidated by his ability to write on the spot, or to match his caliber of wordplay and rhyme schemes. To both mine and his delight I delivered. Skrilla really challenged me tho, most artist get so caught up in the main stream BS or conforming to certain concepts and topics in their verses that it had been a while since I had felt pressure when writing to make sure my bars are up to par. Felt good to feel that energy again i had been missing the want to become better and that leads me to the main cause of my motivation and my improvments or just overall attitude change whatever you want to call it. the TRYBE!!!! Snacks, B. James, and Waun D. are the Cerberus of this rap shit. I have a lot to owe to them. GYB and Trybe share the same values as far as what we hope to contribute to the culture of arts and musics and how we hope to impact the hip hop community as well as the communities we all live in. I have done one show with them and have multiple other ones lined up with them. As a matter a fact i cant see myself doing a show with anyone but them from here on out. Once again them as well as JSkrilla could have their own full length blog entry but i digress for the sake of your attention lol. The Trybe challenges me to be a better emcee by making me freestyle. Which if you have been around me doing music ive never been a good freestyler.....UNTIL NOW!!! They have cracked that shell and brought me out of it. Making me partake in their cyphers everytime we get together. Soon Ill be as smooth off the top as i am with the writtens then its over for everyone! Sharpening my skills is not something that other rappers really push you to do. Rap is very competitive and braggadocios so pushing someone to improve and possible be better than you is unheard of. The Trybe doesnt see it that way though, they want us all to grow together. With a shared love for hip hop and me and Snacks shared love for Anime we can talk for hours and hours before we realize we havent done any music lol. Everytime I hear a new Trybe song i feel my artistry being challenged. The message in their music makes me want to really focus on the concepts i present in my music and start challenging my self to pretty much step my game up. Between Skrilla, "A", and TrYbe, everything new I hear makes me question my latest bars which is exactly what I need. Hip Hop is my life and my love and above any amount of money i can potentially make off this art is the desire to be the best emcee to ever grab a mic and thats the same mindset i had when i originally picked up the pen and decided i would be a rapper. Before i saw 8 mile and realized that being a white rapper wasnt necessarily accepted, before all the laughs, all the hate and just general shade i received for my dreams. Being white in this game is a roadblock but for the first time these guys made me realize that i have overcame that hurdle 100 times over. I had a long talk with the Trybe last night and they gave me a boost of confidence that finally fully ignited that fire i had lit but tried to conceal. Im no longer worried about what is cool or what people want. I just want to create and you will more than likely like it because I do have skills that i myself had been sleeping on. I hear these artist like A, Skrilla, and Trybe and i felt underneath them but now i see my self as an equal. We all have different things we bring to the table that compliment each other and its time to put it all together and make it happen. Plus we all just fucking dope and there is no denying. This is my new goal. No more time wasted on what i "think" is the right move. Im going to follow what i KNOW to be the right path and follow my heart. Thats challenging myself with these artist and like minded individuals to always be better. Also as Snacks has said before "move at LIGHT SPEED" thats just what Ill do with my light brothers here. We like some damn warriors of this rap shit waging war against a evil corrupt entity but thats also for a whole separate entry lol But no war of this caliber is complete without a general so shoutout to SirDuke. Ive also recently became friends with this crazy dude and he has shown me in just the short time ive known him more love and support than some people ive known my whole life. He also inspires me because he has dedicated his life to serve and protect (literally) and most importantly LEAD. He has an army of pretty much every hood and every rapper in each of them just waiting for his call. and he is not leading them astray, Shoutout the Kollektiv. Duke is also a talented singer and emcee. He has a show with me tomorrow at the Hangover in Murray MAKE SURE YOU COME TO THAT AND SEE MY NEW ALBUM CONSCIOUS TRAP PERFORMED LIVE starting at 9pm. but yeah Duke is dope and I can appreciate his leadership skills and what he hopes to accomplish in his community by cleaning it up through music. He is rubbing off on my and motivating me to hold that same position with my Layer army of GYB homies ive assembled. Most of them are clueless about the industry and music so its up to me to guide and lead them so they can be their own selves and make it in this world without the middle man down your neck. Im going to wrap this up because it ended up being way longer than i intended but i wanted to also say to my fellow collaborators and friends above all. Wolf, Golden Wrist Banks, Trevell, Dope, Simple, Benji and Angel Mascato. You guys have MAD SKILLS. You guys inspire me too because I hear something different in your music than i hear from most. I want you all to continue to grow and expand your creativity to new levels. Tell YOUR story. The same story is constantly told but how will you tell YOURS in the true challenge. So i encourage you guys like i have been recently, step outside of the norm and do what you truly feel in your heart that you need to, fuck what everyone else wants from you just create the way you feel appropriate. A lot of you are working with Duke regularly and I think he will tell you the same thing I am now. Even if its certain people in your lives holding you back, they gotta go. Surround yourself with positive people that want to grow with you instead of out grow you and you will see the same results. Probably why you guys were all on my latest album, except Trevell im sorry and you should have been but you know the deal homie its all love. Frank.....dammit man just rap lol but anyways ill end it on this note. Getting in touch with that child like mind state and that pureness of love in my heart again. Losing all my intentions to want to be better and out do someone but rather COLLABORATE with like minds in my community has already in return pushed me forward in a lot of ways. Seems almost as if they had been waiting on me this whole time. Its certain that my actions are now speaking louder than my words and everyone is starting to catch on. including myself finally. If you read this far thank you and I love you. Youre more than likely part of the reason why i typed this or why i even continue to do what i do. I trust you guys just as much as you trust ill deliver. Have a great day, maybe you can draw inspiration from this or some of the same people or things that i do! So put down that magazine full of empty content and read something meaningful that you are interested in, turn off the news and watch some anime, stop playing shooter games and play final fantasy, stop eating out and prepare your own meals, dont listen to music just play instrumentals and freestlye every day or just make your own, quit scrolling on facebook and take a stroll around the block, only spend time with those that help you grow rather than keep you low. So much inspiration out there sometimes we just have to break away from what we are used to in order to pull from the experience. Now im really done. and excuse my poor grammer and probably a shit load of spelling errors. That wont ever change, these blog post are run on sentences of my thoughts that pass through my head every day. Sometimes i just take the time to jot them out as they pass. PEACE LOVE AND GYB!!

loki episode 1x01

Im loving the green/gold marvel logo. 

mega spoilers under cut! 

Ngl not sure why the tesserect threw him like that in mongolia. Is there a reason that thanos had better control? (Other than him being a giant grape) Is this what happened with red skull?

Tva introduced. Very mysterious

Aw loki is just done with the avengers and everything else

Why did they have loki’s lips do that for so long? And in 1/16 speed

Reset the timeline? What does that do?

Zooming in on the device on the ground assuming that is going to reset the timeline. Okay so but reseting does that mean that there is now another loki? Our loki we are watching and a different loki who is continuing one the timeline?

A variant skrull?

Loki trying to run and then getting timelooped back to the lady is slightly funny

Aw that poor guy is cheerful and shes all like no i have a job

Deadly consequences huh? Is that gonna come back later? I have a feeling they will never like each other

Aw happy robot

Aw fashionista drama queen loki. I love it

Okay i may be ace but loki looks good!

-honestly in the gray suit he doesnt look that muscular but he is. Its just hidden. It hints at it with his shoulders but he in fine!

I did a get picture of the end credits where it shows what he said

“if it’s all the same yo you know i’ll have that drink now.

“tva? friend i think there has been a mistake. I am Loki,- You will regret this. I am burddened with glororius purpose. I stand on the right side of thanos- pleased to learn you’ve- my father is-”

is all i could read from this

A cat and a cat mug. I like it. This dude must be so tired. And everyone gives him extra work with everything they say even in his room. -does it do this even after they leave? And honestly i thought lokis stack would be bigger

“Do alot of people not know if they are robots?”Hun im sorry but you didnt know you were frost giant..

Now at first glance the whole “what if i was a robot and didnt know it?” Line is funny but you gotta like deeper. Like i said right above he didnt know he was a frost giant for almost the whole time 2012! Loki has been alive.

Ok but why does it look like giant scratch marks in the red rectangle. I think it’s supposed to be like dried blood or whatever but more like scratch’s.

His temporal aura..lots of red,maybe purple and yellow followed by green and blue at the top. I wanna know what it mean. Do more colors get added with more temporal stuff?

That looks like the guy who died in the trailers

He was insistent that he take a ticket. Lokis staring contest with the guy. Passive aggressive loki

Is that PA sound activated by a specific phrase? I think it would be since it probably would have turned on sooner than when loki shouted otherwise

I dont like miss minutes.

Who are the timekeepers? How are they all knowing? Can we get some more lore on them?

Branching off the nexus? That showed in a scene in the trailer..

So do the tva not want a multiverse? But it was canonized in dr strange. And wandavision. Or do they just not want a multiverse war?

Created the TVA and its workers? What do they mean by creating the workers as well?

Wait what that the reset charge i saw in the cartoon? So does that mean that there is a loki that is continuing on the timeline?

Is that how we kept the “sacred timeline”? But how? The avengers dropped the cube and loki got it and left. So how did they fix the timeline to keep him from picking it up again?

The guy doesnt have a ticket and is throwing a karen tantrum. Oop-

Okay now loki is scared.

Is it bad that i saw him hold up his ticket and found it funny? Like see boom i have it totally not gonna get destroyed now

Okay so i wrote the cool “runes” i put them in quotations because i dont know if that is what they are. Ill try to look them up later and post them.

Five dead in france..1549

Sombody got the jump? Its him? Who?

Stab wounds? Reset charge is gone. Sixth attack? That they know of?

Nice satan imagery in the background. First (assuming) micheal first with light shining in this guy and now satan..

I saw her eyes look to the satan and then upwards so assuming she means the horns but it could also be mephisto. But does mephisto stab people? Those horns look loki style

Afraid of them?

Kablooie? Blue gum? Blooeberrie?

-Why was it given away? Is it a sign? Do i need to look deeper into this? It does have that whole look that fits with the tva but im gonna hold on.

Devil bearing gifts?

-What happens when it hits the red line?

They have a FILE? On loki? Where did they get that photo? And HE IS GENDER FLUID

Judges room has the workers mural and the timekeeper mural. So the cut off the branchs to keep it in a orderly timeline?

Push t to those avengers! STEVE👏ROGERS👏IS👏A👏VARIANT

Hun..hun no thats not why they traveled.

Pffrt two tony starks! So he knew tony was there… did thor not smell him as well??

Gods to gods

Is..is this what it looks like when he tries to do magic??

Who are the people watching who isnt the guy from earlier?

So is this gonna be a show of freewill? Like wanda was grief and depression? Or the winter soldier was of —-

If my theory is right about loki being the guy killing the agents and that guy is investigating and has his file then it makes sense that he knows what loki is capable of. I would also like to point out that is it loki killing them, then they are greatly underestimating him. He should use that to his advantage

Chasing a hunch? Going sideways? Bad idea?

And this guy is flirting (i think) but also drinking his respecting woman juice.

Burn down his desk? Ok so ngl its cool outside the window but idk what it is but i can tell its greenscreen. The architecture is great. I love the scene.

A nightmare department??

I wanna know what the buttons in the elevator mean.

Created by the timekeepers? So possibly not human. Can they leave? are they aloud to? What do they mean created? Is there a process? Or are they just never kids?

Trust is for children and dogs? Oka i get the dos. But children? Does this mean that he hasnt trusted anyone since he was a kid? What happened that made him stop trusting people? Does he trust his mother?

Living in his set path? Okay i was part of the son fandom so im getting team free will vibes from loki insisting that he chooses what he does

Wooing someone powerful you intended to betray? Thanos? (Ew giant grape face guy) You, agent mobius? The Grandmaster?!

Are they flirting? I genuinely cant tell? Is this what flirting looks like?

Pursuit in Dangerous variants? So not loki. My theory holds strong for me but maybe its not?Hes a hissing cat? So born to be king?

A fan? Okay..i wanna saw how are you a fan? But you have the file.

Oh

Loki

The wrong path always taken…

“I am smart.” I know

What do u know mobius? Time passes differently…has loki been here before? Have u met him before? How do u know he his smart? Yes you have a file but that doesnt tell me why u are saying for certainty that u know he is smart. And he looks serious. Like he knew something. What are you hiding??

Okay so he heals fast. This couldnt have been hat long since then?

Okay so they bring in phil but they dont even acknowledge that he is still alive (as far as im aware)

The uncomfortable shifting and keeping his gaze away from the screen as new york was shown was kinda telling cause of what he said earlier…

Deflecting to keep from talking..

The FLASHBACK

Why does he need money?

Young..lost a bet to thor… what was the bet???

You just used reverse psychology on loki and it worked

Why do you wanna know about why he does what he does? Are you using him for your other case? (Assuming hat he is killing the guards somehow)

Did his voice crack when he saw his adventure in germany? Anyone else catch that? And the past tense after that. His masks are starting to fall. I think he is gonna lash out soon

Oh

Oh his mother

This is gonna get painful. Im crying already.

Oh frigga. He is tearing up. He is getting agitated now. Dude you just accused him of killing his mother

Okay stop. So others can achieve better versions of themself?

U mean when nat yeeted herself on vormir? Or when clint went around killing people during the blip? Or when cap stayed behind with peggy when he had bucky to come back to?

I can see him planning something but idk what yet

Ok so i already watched this earlier but now that i watch this part carefully i can see his hand pickpocket

Another unit? So thats six units now?

Loki escaped??

Prune? Is that what the stick thing is?

Ok he asked the guys name. I like that. Polite.

I saw him take a breath to get ready for another performance

U..u dont know what a fish is?

Lived entire life behind a desk? How old are you?

Okay thats practical to know what your being threatened with. Informed choices my dude.

Ok is this the room that loki has a desk at in the previews? Also i like casey. He is now my new fav

Whats is the desk? INFINITY STONES?? are you kidding me? So other people have tried to get them but werent aloud because of the timeline with thanos and the avengers???? Why do you have so many of the same stones? And the fact that the time stones as well means something attempted to happen to earth to get them..

They dont work at the tva? You USE INFINITY STONES? AS PAPER WEIGHTS? INGOT OF IMMENSE POWER THAT WERE CREATED SUPPOSEDLY AT THE BIG BANG??

This is giving me (another show that used something important as paperwieghts) vibes

Coming to the realization that this place is powerful? Ok so that is pruning.

His mother, he is crying i cant deal

Oh god im crying again

He just want his parents love and they are dead. He just wanted family to love him. He wanted to so much and didnt ever feel like he had it. But he did.

Oh no

Please dont make him watch his death

Please

The immediate falling of his face, his tormentor, i wanna know what he is thinking when he sees thanos

Oh the bone sound

And loki watched

Not making light of this but they speedrun his trauma and his redemption. He didnt get to see the good parts of what he has done. Just the bad.

Oh his laughing and the bitter glorious purpose

The fight was short but cool

He is being his petty self and i love it

See, don’t underestimate him

That nose scrunch

He looked emotionally drained

Wait why cant he go back? Cause he saw his future? Isnt that the reset? Oh wait if he goes back, he dies and he knows that but he couldnt be able to stop it without ending back up here

Hes opening up. The masks he had are falling around mobius. He sees himself as a villian.

Fugitive variant?

I KNEW IT IT WAS LOKI!

but hold on. If this fugitive is loki, then how? What part of the timeline is they from? Are they a future loki? So the future loki is a dangerous variant and this loki is a cat? What makes the future one more dangerous? We just heard him say he doesnt like to kill?

Okay now oklahoma 1858, if this is loki then how is he goin across time? And what for?

Wait third millenium? When is that?

Okay so we got a 1500 deaths and pieces of gum? And now third millennium thing in the 1800?

Oil? In a field…i get that u would think that but please think about where u are and the fact that other units have been killed in what i assume are regular calls like this as well.

Hooded figure? In a foggy night?with different background lights? I like it.

Told you oil plus field equals fire

Oh big spots of oil and oil leading places

Okay there is the reset charge? Is this important like i said earlier i thought it would be?

Ok if this is loki then what’s with the get up? Where is the drama? The showmanship? And why do you need the reset charges? Assuming this person took them from each scene that is at least six or seven? Or is this eight? Would this be the one that they said earlier with the captain lady interrupting or is this another one after that?

Ok so i took some pictures of the end credits that i think are important. I want to look closer at them before i post them.

Gonna do a mini rant abour Kiera Cass’s The Selection series. More specifically, the ending of ‘The One’.

SPOILER AHEAD

I’m not the best at reviews and such, so bear with me. It was a great book, honestly. I loved the characters and the relationship between these characters. So it was a huge dissappointment to me to see the ending to ‘The One’ was far less exciting than the rest of the book. I wanted to see more focus on the Northern and Southern rebels, more on the friendship between the girls and what they will become. I wanted to see America fight for what she believes in, and to show the country what she’s capable of. Everything was steering into that path until the death of her father. The problem wasn’t the fact that Kiera Cass killed America’s dad, the problem was how everything piled up into this one huge mess. America was sent home to mourn for the loss of her father, but the way I saw it, America went home, cries about it for two days, then shrugged it off. For anyone who has read the book, her father was a HUGE HUGE HUGE source of America’s comfort. She sought her fathers help when she needs it most, writing to him and even telling him secrets. We knew how much her father meant to her, so to have a poorly written part of this situation when it should have been a huge moment in America’s life was just extremely unreal. yet when she went back home to the palace she had the news of the engagement and forgot all about her father’s death almost immediately. It didn’t sit well with me, and I was just really disappointed with it. I was hoping a for a more powerful blow, to have America find strength in this situation, but she just merely goes back to the palace and was met with overwhelming joy when she heard about being a part of the top 2. The rest of the story is then compressed into 5 or maybe less chapters. At that point, I was getting concerned. There were still a few things that needed to be covered, but not that many pages left. And I was aware that “The Heir” was about the new princess..so I was curious how Kiera could fit everything in such a small amount of space. Turns out, she didnt. She left so many things unattended, and everything felt so rushed. like she just wanted to get to the wedding. I was honestly devastated with how things turned out. Let’s start with Maxon’s overreaction to seeing Aspen and America together. He has every right to be angry with her, but to tell her that he changed his mind about making her the princess, going out of his way to tell her that “Kriss’s family is here to celebrate, while yours is to take you home”? He was just downright heartless, and basically told her to go. Then later, no explanation as to why and ugh. Completely unncessary . Another was the unexpected loveline between Lucy and Aspen. WHERE DID THAT VME FROM?! There were no hints prior, and we didn't see a connection between them. And to top it all, America didn't even react to it, as if she knew already. And what about Anne? She knew about Anne's feelings towards Aspen, but she simply shrugged it. there was no explanation at all, leaving readers extremely confused. Third, Kriss being a Northern rebel. I had so many questions as to why Kiera added that when there was no reason behind it. And if Kriss is supporting the Nothern rebels' cause, then she would know that they want to eliminate the caste. She should have reacted postively to America and her report on getting rid of the caste, and started to support her from then on. But during America's confrontation about Kriss, it seemed like Kriss didn't care at all. She knew the northern rebels' purpose, and she knew what America believed in, thus proving that America would have been the perfect Queen. But nothing. Kriss just gave America a cold shoulder and left, thats it. Anyways, I would love go into depth with these, but thats not what I’m here to rant about. my main problems were the unnecessary deaths of certain characters. And just like the father, there was no mourning period, nothing. These characters were exetremely important to America’s development, yet just like that they’re life was stripped away.

- Celeste. Yes she was a bitch at the first book, but she slowly came to realize she was hurting everyone. She opened up to America, and their friendship slowly blossomed. She was extremely supportive and rooted for America to win. she found something with America that she never found with anyone, and for her to just die like that was excrutiatingly painful. Why? Because they had so much potential to be friends, to be someone. I wanted to see her that she can be something greater rather than be a model, that she was talented. How was she killed? Bullet to her head. Just like that. there was no expression from Ameica, judt a sudden “red dude pulled trigger on celeste. next thing, everyone screams.” there was no expression from America herself when Celeste was suppose to be an important part of her life.

- King Clarkson and Queen Amberly HOLY FUCKING SHIT I WAS ANGRY. Not only did killing them off ruined America’s chances to show herself, but also shows that they were basically nothing other than King or Queen. The King was opposed to America, but I wanted her to show she can prove him wrong. Yet, before that can happen, boom, dead. The Queen was so sweet, and loving and it showed that she approved of America. I wanted to know why, why was the queen happy with America? She was proud, yet we never got an explanation why because boom. dead.

-Anne. Oh, sweet Anne. When I read she died, I immediately closed the book and refused to read the last few pages. This hurt, a lot. The three maids- Mary, Anne and Lucy - were extremely important in America’s life. They were there throughout the whole Selection, helping her get comfortable in an unknown place. America found a family within palace walls, and throughout the whole series they were there to help her, not just as maids but as friends. Kiera didn’t even show her death. Did you know how the readers found out? During the wedding, when the book descibes America walking down the aisle, looking at Mary who’s her only help left because Anne was gone. Just like that, nothing else. Nada. I feel like Kiera killed her off simply to have that unnecessary relstionship between Aspen and Lucy. that was hard to read, especially.

Readers tend to get attach to these characters, and we want to see how each character thrives with every page. Kiera gave these characters important roles, roles that would improve America, that would help her. But last minute, she stripped the lives of these important characters and left us all to say “what the fuck?” Not only that, there was no development with America’s character. Throughout the whole rebel attack, she stayed at the closet the majority of the time. She didn’t make any changes, Maxon did and told her she was the reason. She didnt fight for what she believed in at the end, so we were stuck clinging on to the last time she made a brave statement which were chapters ago. What Kiera could have done was to expand the death of America’s father, and grasp the importance of America’s purpose. It was revealed that her father was a Northern rebel, but nothing much to it. We could have seen her gain strength from it, especially when he wrote to her that she needs to fight. but after that, she never fought for anything. Only for Maxon, but even then there wasn't a lot going on. There was so much potential there, she could have given America that life-changing wisdom, something to make her realize what she’s fighting for. Still, nothing. Book three could have easily ended after a realization of America’s worth, and book four could have focused more on the rebel wars, more on Southern and Northrern rebels leading into the big attack. Kiera could still have killed those characters, but in a more necessary manner. We needed a proper goodbye, and we needed thoughts and emotions from other characters. We never got them, so it made everyone seem heartless. I loved these characters so much, and it was an adventure reading this series. But after ‘The One’, i don’t find myself picking the next book in the near future..

Sorry, it went from a formal review into a complete rant ahahah
