#jax full ap

[arkus-rhapsode]

So wasn't expecting to make this Gaming Hot Take of the day but after reading this from Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki I gotta be honest I had to write something

So look, I can kinda understand this stance in a very retrospective sense as he says "Fostered from the beginning." Playstation 1 in particular didn't really make a big distinction between its original IP and its Third Party IP. It's why you had Crash Bandicoot or Cloud Strife as basically the mascot of Playstation when both come from third parties. Compared to the likes of Mario and Sonic who were not only their console mascot, but company mascots respectively.

But by now, Playstation has an undeniable back catalogue of first and second IP that it can either revive or rerelease if need be. Like if we're looking at like multi entry series and not just one offs, by the PS2, Sony had:

Jak & Daxter

Twisted Metal

Ape Escape

Sly Cooper

MediEvil

Wild Arms

Dark Cloud

Everybody's Golf

God of War

Rachet and Clank

And by the PS3 we have

Infamous

Uncharted

Killzone

Resistance

Little Big Planet

Like Sony has their own catalogue that can stand on its own. Its not like they should be struggling now to play catch up.

Now if you read my recent Emio and Mages post, I am very well aware that in the age of modern gaming, a game doesn't get made without a team devoted to it. And with the rising production and time costs of making games, no company can release a hundred games and be profitable. So sadly some IP just do fall by the wayside in favor of others. Guerrilla Games isn't making Killzone anymore, because their efforts are spent on Horizon and Sucker Punch went from being the Sly Cooper guys to the Infamous guys, to now the Ghosts of Tsushima guys.

However, I feel like Sony has had some circumstances that compound this problem. Sony and Playstation are technically powerful machines-they want to fully utilize the hardware they're selling you for hundreds of dollars. It is their brand. However, the downside to this is because of this the rise in production costs, it's now taking much longer to make games that make use of the powerful hardware. We went from being able to release a full trilogy in a single generation to basically one. Its also made worse by the fact that Sony has been very active in shuttering studios and cutting costs. The biggest would be the loss of Sony Japan Studio, who were beloved for their more varied Japanese-y style games. It added flavor to the more Naughty Dog inspired games of the sixth and seventh generation. But now, Sony went all in on being that one big budget release that leaned more towards broader genres that could maximize the amount of sales like Uncharted, The Last of Us, Spider-Man, etc.

With this, a lot of mismanagement, its really made the PS5 era feel very sparse compared to the PS4. Now, I wanna stress this, I actually do not subscribe to the mentality "Playstation has no games." Playstation has tons of games beyond just their first party titles, some are exclusive like Final Fantasy 16, some are just way too powerful to be something that could be played on a switch like GTAV. Heck, I played Bomb Rush Cyberfunk on my PS5 and it's probably the game I've dumped the most time into this year. So yes, even if Playstation's first party offerings are few and far between, you're still capable of playing a lot of good games on this really expensive plastic box.

And maybe that's indicative of the fact that Playstation has always been about selling you the hardware on the basis of the hardware. Going back to the PS1, the main selling points was this was the haven for third parties after Nintendo really burned a lot of developers with the N64, and that this was a much more system than the N64. When you look at someone like Nintendo now, they're hardware is underpowered they live and die by the power of their software that only they can provide and no one else. But the playstation even if its not shooting out a new Jax & Daxter every year, they're still the place you can play something like Final Fantasy or Elden Ring at a really great clip. Perhaps Totoki was alluding to that reliance on hardware instead of software because in retrospect, they never really had that big homegrown system seller on playstation till the PS2 with things like God of War. And now fostering that, has made it hard to have that sort of Zelda or Halo that are so undeniably their companies IP and will move launch units.

But a reliance on just being the place where you can play games at a high fidelity, means that its still got competition from Xbox and PC. So Sony would have to offer a service the others don't and that can be software you find nowhere else. True story, I was genuinely conflicted about getting a PS5 or and Xbox X/S for my birthday because I knew I needed to at least have a strong machine to play with my switch. And ultimately I took PS5 because that was the console that would have God of War Ragnarok and Spider-Man 2. So yes, IP absolutely factors into purchases in my experience. And the fact that this generation Sony has really struggled to put out first party games, really makes that purchase factor feel so much thinner and thinner. When you know-you know Sony has loads of IP (Some that haven't left their respective console) that even a simple remaster on the PS5 could at least hold people over in-between their AAA releases. So to hear their CFO say that they don't have enough IP, gets very disingenuous.

To close this out, I wanna stress something. I don't think wanting to make new IP is a bad thing. Im glad Sony is willing to invest 8 years and millions of dollars into something new. But eventually, we reach a point where this has to be better managed. We have to have some smaller titles that can be released between the bigger ones. We gotta have some variation in the types of games we're getting from the platform holder. And sometimes leaning in on those fan faves for smaller titles would help. Are they gonna sell 10 million units? More than likely not. But if you balance the budget, having something move between 1-2 million units would be acceptable. Perhaps maybe allow more second party developers a crack at using that IP so your internal teams can work on the bigger blockbuster titles?

The PS5 generation has been a pretty all over the map one for Sony, and the more we learn about the thoughts and management behind the scenes, the more aggravating it can become when this platform does something really cool, but then seems to take two steps back. I genuinely can't tell you if I'll get a PS6. But if I do, it will probably not be out of optimism for classic Playstation franchises to return.

Compromising Positions

Juice Ortiz x F!Reader

Request by @adela-topaz-caelon: So, seeing your Juice post just now, I got another idea (oops) if it's okay to send another. I was thinking a Juice x Female reader, who gets super defensive over him, gets teased over it a lot, but goes absolutely ape shit at the guys when she finds out they stapled a sign to his chest when he accidentally drugged himself to sleep. And then after she goes ape, threatening to staple some bitches, she cleans him up and maybe some sudden release of emotions and pooooossibly smut? ^_^ maybe :D

Warnings: language, mentions of blood/injuries

Word Count: 2.7k

A/N: Being ready to pop off in defense of Juice is a sentiment that I can totally get behind, so thank you for this request lmao. I didn’t end up going the smutty route because I just didn’t feel like it fit the whole mood of this story. But fear not! There will be other fics for our boy in the future that take care of that haha. Hope you enjoy!

SOA Taglist: @masterlistforimagines @mijop @garbinge @xladymacbethx @kkim120 @multiyfandomgirl40 @i-just-read-stuff @chibsytelford (Let me know if you’d like to be tagged!)

You tried to tune out the conversations of the guys as you wiped down the surface of the bar. They’d hardly been out of church for five minutes and they had already completely moved past everything that they had been talking about behind closed doors. You loved them all but you would be lying if you said that listening to the way that they spoke about things sometimes didn’t get underneath your skin a little bit. You’d learned to pick your battles wisely because there was only so much that you could be frustrated about all the time.

Out of the corner of your eye, you saw one of the guys reach over and give Juice a light smack to the back of his head. You looked up, eyes instantly zeroing in on what was going on. It wasn’t shocking to you that it was Tig who was doling out the abuse—that seemed to be a large part of their relationship with each other.

Juice never seemed overly bothered by it whenever the guys would rag on him. You wished that you were as good at brushing it off as he was, but every time you saw them picking on him it made your blood boil. For that reason alone you knew that your feelings towards Juice were no secret, and the guys went in on you about it just as much as they went in on Juice for everything else. It seemed like the only person who never picked on you for how you felt about Juice was Juice himself. He never said anything about it one way or the other.

“Look out, Tig,” Jax spoke up with a laugh, “keep that up and you’re about to catch some hands from someone else.”

Your frustration must’ve been instantly apparent on your face. You made a concentrated effort to relax your features, but it wasn’t much use. Shaking your head silently, you returned your attention to the bar.

“Go on, then, Y/N,” Tig said with a cocky laugh, “If you got something to say then say it.”

You didn’t lift your eyes, knowing that getting into it right now wasn’t going to accomplish anything. Juice spoke up on your behalf, though, “Leave her alone, Tig. She’s just trying to work without having to listen to you guys talk shit all the time.”

“Funny how she only seems to get uptight when it’s about one person in parti—”

“Are you done?” you cut him off.

Tig held his hands up in mock surrender, “Sure, doll,” he turned to Juice, “Should start bringing her with you on runs. Maybe she can keep you safe out there, too.”

You gnawed at the inside of your cheek to keep yourself from saying something that would undoubtedly make the situation worse. You tossed your cleaning rag onto the surface of the bar before turning and walking towards the door of the clubhouse. Without missing a beat, you swiped a pack of cigarettes off of one of the tables as you went. You could hear the guys murmuring behind you but you blocked it out.

You were lost in your thoughts, camped out on the picnic table outside the clubhouse, when someone came and sat down next to you. Glancing over, you saw that it was Juice. You didn’t have to fully look at him to know the expression that he had on his face. It was the same one that he always had whenever the guys gave you a hard time—a mixture of pity and being flattered.

You shook your head slightly, “You don’t need to check on me, Juice. I can handle them.”

“You realize I can handle them too, right?” he gave your shoulder a playful nudge with his own.

Despite your annoyance, you smiled as you took a drag from the cigarette between your fingers. You let yourself make full eye contact with him, “I never said that you couldn’t.”

You passed him your cigarette and he took it with a smile. The two of you didn’t say anything else about what had just happened, opting to just sit and enjoy each other’s company silently. Juice was one of the few people in the world that you could enjoy silence with, and you knew that in moments like this when you were cooling off from being frustrated, it was truly a blessing to have him around.

A few days ticked by and you managed to not get yourself into any more arguments with Tig or any of the other guys. Every now and then when things were getting a little rowdy in the clubhouse you could feel the guys looking at you, waiting for you to speak up and insert yourself into the middle of it. It took some conscious effort on your part, but you stayed out of it.

You were just starting to get ready for your next shift at the bar when you heard the door to the clubhouse open. You didn’t look up at first, too immersed in everything that you were doing to try and straighten up a little bit. The only thing that caught your attention was the quiet groan that filled the room.

Looking up, your eyes went wide when you saw Juice. You had so many questions but you weren’t sure if you really wanted answers to any of them. You went to walk up to him to offer a helping hand but he waved you off as he walked back to his dorm. Every fiber of your being was telling you to follow him, but you didn’t. Part of you knew that you weren’t going to get any answers from him, so instead you stormed in the opposite direction from him to find the other guys.

You flung the clubhouse door open and were greeted by the sight of the guys huddled around the table, all laughing and joking around. You had a feeling that you knew exactly what they found to be so funny.

“What the fuck did you do this time?” you made a direct line for Tig.

“Whoa, whoa,” he laughed as he took a step back from you, “why do you assume that it was me?”

“You telling me it wasn’t?”

“Depends on what you’re talking about.”

“What the hell happened to Juice?”

“Maybe you should keep a better eye on your boy, Y/N,” Jax said, trying and failing to stifle his laughter, “and he wouldn’t land himself in such…compromising positions.”

You weren’t naïve enough to think that Juice couldn’t get himself into difficult situations on his own. He didn’t always think things through. But you also knew that when he was putting himself in sketchy situations, the guys were the first ones to try and capitalize on it.

“Alright then, VP,” you turned your attention to Jax, “what did he land himself into this time?”

“Your boy knocked himself the fuck out. Thought he was taking vitamins when he…wasn’t. That’s on him for popping whatever gets put into his hands,” Jax was shaking his head as he spoke.

“That doesn’t explain why he walked into the clubhouse practically naked and bleeding.”

“The blood was probably from the staples,” Tig chimed in with a laugh.

“The what?” you managed to keep your voice below a yell, but barely.

He continued to laugh as he motioned for Chibs to hand you the sign that had been discarded onto the table, most likely tossed there by Juice when he finally made his way back to the clubhouse. You snatched it from the man’s hands, unfolding it and reading what it said. As you continued to put the entire situation together, you saw red for a moment.

“You stapled this to his fucking chest?” you folded the sign in half and proceeded to start hitting Tig in the head and chest with it, “What the fuck is the matter with you?”

“Jesus Christ,” Tig was holding his hands up to try and block the onslaught of slaps coming his way.

“Y/N,” Jax reached to grab your arm to stop you and you ripped it from his grasp.

You turned back to him, not afraid to go toe-to-toe with the VP. He might’ve held an office in the club, but he was just another blonde biker at the bar as far as you were concerned, especially in this moment.

You shoved the sign into his chest, pushing him back in the process, “What? You got some smart shit to say?”

“You’re making a bigger deal out of this than you need to. Juicy is a grown man, he can handle his own shit.”

“You think it’s not a big deal?” you stepped in close to him, “You put two staples in his goddamn chest and you think it’s not a big deal?” you shoved him once more for good measure, “Get me a goddamn staplegun! We’ll see how big of a deal it is when I’m drilling shit into your chest!” you shook your head, “I swear to fucking god, Jax, I should put some staples into your fuckin—”

You stopped short when you felt a hand land on your shoulder. You whipped around, ready to fight, but you were met with Juice’s eyes. He was still going without a shirt, but he’d taken the time to go put pants on. You were assuming that he could hear your rage from inside the clubhouse and it prompted him to come outside. There was a glint of amusement in his eyes and you would’ve been more enamored with it if you weren’t still focused on the two wounds that were bleeding on his chest.

“C’mon,” Juice tried to redirect you back towards the clubhouse, “it’s fine, Y/N. I’m alright.”

You turned back around, staring daggers at all the guys, but mostly Jax and Tig, “This isn’t over with,” you huffed and shook your head, “Motherfuckers.”

Before you could say anything else, Juice started nudging you back towards the door. You were grumbling underneath your breath as Juice continued to usher you into the building. When you were inside and it was just the two of you, you turned to him and let the anger fade away slightly.

“What the fuck is the matter with them?”

He laughed and shook his head, “We’re all a little fucked up. Can’t just hold it against them.”

“I’ll be mad at you later, don’t worry,” you sighed, unable to pry your eyes away from his injuries, “At least let me clean you up a little? I’m no doctor but I feel like I could still help you out a little bit.”

He smiled and nodded, glad that he had a way to pacify you a little bit for the time being. The last thing he wanted to be dealing with was you going on a rampage with a staplegun. You went and dug out your first aid kit from behind the bar before following him back to his dorm. The two of you sat on the edge of his bed. You wanted to stay completely focused on the task at hand but you were only human. You chastised yourself for your wandering thoughts.

“Considering you took a bunch of mystery pills,” you said with a slight shake of your head as you laid out your supplies, “you don’t look too worse for wear.”

“You’re just saying that to make me feel better,” he chuckled as he watched your calculated, meticulous movements.

“Trying to sweeten you up because cleaning out these cuts is gonna hurt like a bitch,” you managed a smile, “Don’t want you to end up hating me too much.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

You tried to ignore the heat rising in your face as you set about cleaning the torn skin on his chest. He cringed and cursed under his breath when you swabbed the cuts with alcohol. You fought the urge to apologize but it was difficult.

You were leaning in close enough to feel his breath on the side of your neck. It was taking all of your self-control to stay focused on placing bandages on him. Your hands begged you to let them wander but you kept it together. When you pulled away and looked at Juice, there was something in his expression that made you feel like he was reading every thought that had been crossing your brain as you worked.

“What?” you tried to sound less nervous than you really were as you started to put your medical supplies away.

“Were you really about to threaten to put staples in Jax’s dick?” he couldn’t keep his laughter in any longer.

You smiled as you set your first aid kit off to the side, “I sure fucking was.”

“Felt like you really meant it.”

You waited for his eyes to meet yours, “I did.”

He laughed, draping his arm around your shoulders and pulling you against his side, “I know I spend a lot of time telling you not to worry about the guys, but I hope you know it is nice to know that someone has my back.”

You nodded as you tried to focus on both the feeling of warmth coming from his body and the words he was saying, “Of course. I’ll go after anyone with a staplegun for you. No questions asked.”

He chuckled before leaning in and pressing a kiss against your temple. You nearly melted into a puddle in his arms at the contact. He let his lips linger against your skin for a moment, “Thank you.”

You rested your hand on his thigh, allowing yourself to lean completely into him. His arm wrapped tighter around you and you smiled as your cheek rested against the bare skin of his chest, careful to not touch the bandages you had just dressed him with.

“Y/N?”

“Mhm?”

When he didn’t say anything else, you pulled away so you could look at him. There was a small smirk tugging at the edges of his lips as he looked at you. Your eyes searched his, trying to figure out just what he was thinking.

His free hand came up and rested on the side of your face, and you instantly leaned into his touch. The palm of his hand was rough and calloused, but despite that you couldn’t deny that it felt like it was in its rightful place resting against your cheek. Your eyes fluttered shut as you soaked up the moment. Juice chuckled quietly, not expecting you to react so quickly and comfortably.

It gave him a little boost of confidence as he leaned in and pressed his forehead against yours. You opened your eyes, smiling as your heart began to speed up inside your chest.

“Wanna know what would really make me feel better?” you could hear that he was trying not to laugh as he spoke.

“What?” a giggle slipped out past your lips.

“If you let me kiss you.”

You laughed, reaching up to rest one hand on the back of his neck, “For your health.”

You could feel the smile still on his face as he pressed his lips against yours. Everything else that had been happening suddenly faded from your mind—the only thing you could think about was how right it felt to be kissing him. His thumb traced lightly along your cheekbone as he leaned into you. You couldn’t win out over the urge to smile as you continued to kiss him, and you could feel the laughter starting to vibrate in his chest.

He pulled you so that you were straddling his lap, keeping his lips locked onto yours as he did. Your hands cradled the back of his head as his arms wrapped tightly around your waist. You could feel the warmth of his body seeping through your shirt and the only thought coursing through your brain was that he felt like home.

When he finally pulled his lips off of yours, they were still curved up into a smile. You could feel the warmth flooding your face as you tried to stifle a laugh, biting down lightly on your bottom lip. He ran his hands up and down your sides and you pressed a quick, light kiss to his lips.

“Feel better?” you finally said, your laughter beginning to escape you.

“I think so,” there was a playful glint in his eyes, “but just to be sure, could you do that again?”

You rolled your eyes, shaking your head despite the fact that you knew you were never going to say no to him, “Anything for you.”

Male Alien x NB Human Reader (! Jax//Caleb) Part 2  NSFW

Continuing on with these two!  Reader is a human AMAB (Assigned Male at Birth).  Reader uses established words to refer to their genitalia. 

18+ only, ty! <3. NSFW!

Part 1 here.

Beep beep beep

Attention Caleb!  This is your morning alarm!  Reminder that you have a staff meeting at 1400, and you set this alarm for yourself.

“Hey Future Self” your voice chimed in.  “You never finished that hallway, so you better get over there and finish that before staff meeting.”

There was nothing quite as effective at getting you out of bed as your own voice.  You staggered to the shower, a little sleep deprived after, ahem, needing your bunk for a few hours last night.

You needed coffee, and the food replicators on this station were not going to cut it.  Washing yourself in the steam shower, you wondered if you could just inject it into your veins.

As your hand reached lower, your cock sprang to life.  Now that you had consumed a good amount of media featuring the one and only Captain Fucking Jaxon of the Heliotross, you had plentyyyy of spank bank material.

That shit eating grin.  The playboy smirk.  

You imagined it was Jax’s hands washing you, stroking you.  You pictured him holding you from behind, biting into your neck as he stroked you.  Whispering witty sexual banter, complimenting you and teasing you.  

You imagined leaning back into his chest, grinding against him as he pleasured you.  You felt your balls tighten, getting ready to release.

“Not yet, pet,” you imagined him saying in your ear.  “You need to ask me to cum.”  

You continued working yourself, imagining Jax’s strong hands with callouses running over it.  “Okay, sweetheart,” you imagined him saying.  “Cum for me.”

Groaning, you came.

*****

You finished getting ready for the day, snagging your toolkit before leaving your quarters.

A last minute comm message came through, and you pulled it out just as your doors swooshed open.

You continued tapping away at it as you walked, stepping to the side when you needed to type out a more in-depth message.  

Eventually, your legs took you to your favorite espresso place.  It was part of a bistro that had seating, as well as a take-out line.  You considered getting a table, but decided to take some beverages to the team on-duty.  You could take a late lunch and analyze systems charts at dinner later.

The line moved, and you continued to process messages and reports.  You always kept an eye on shifts and maintenance reports, noting if different parts or systems were acting up at the same time.  The station was one massive system, and oftentimes issues in one area impacted another – and it was your job to track them.

“Hello, there” you heard a voice behind you say. A voice you were used to hearing only in your speakers and imagined in your shower.  “I was going to ask you to get coffee after I figured out how to reach you through the crew system, but you skipped a few steps, didn’t you?

Your mouth quirked up and you shifted your body to look at him.

“Hey there,” you said, giving him your full attention.

Goddess, he was gorgeous.  And, from the tint of his skin, a little hungover.  Jax was from Trinostos, and his appearance was humanoid – 2 arms, 2 legs and all that.  That said, his species was much more adaptable than humans from Earth.  He had gill slits on the sides of neck for breathing under water, and 2 bumps on his upper forehead made out cartilage.  Calling them “nubbins” was incredibly rude, but, well there they were.

Besides that, Jax had a smattering of scales across his body, in the same way humans had freckles.  You weren’t sure what creature Trinostians descended from, but it had to be some sort of ape-lizard combo to get these characteristics.

As you studied him, Jax studied you.  You were really good at not saying anything and just looking at each other.

“I’m Jax,” he smoothly said, taking his right arm, moving his over his heart and then gesturing to the ground.  The little flourish-bow was a polite Standard way of greeting people, as not all species wanted to shake hands (or even had them).

“I’m Caleb,”  you said, doing the same.  

“Can I buy you coffee, Caleb?”  Asked Jax.  “Or maybe breakfast?  I’d like to make up for a less-than-genteel first impression.”

“Oh, your first impression went just fine, Captain.” You said.  “I’d love to get breakfast with you.”

You both moved from the takeout line to be seated, and you wondered if you should call in a vacation day today.

Jax went up and put your name on the list, walking back with a level of confidence, a swagger, if you will, that made your body come to attention.

Yep, that hallway was probably going to have to wait a day.

06.09.18 -- 60/100 days of productivity 

hey everyone! so it has been three months and i am very sorry. after going on my trip to Australia, i fell into a deep slump. i was tired and completely burnt out and had two weeks of homework to work on for the upcoming fourth quarter. things just fell through. i still had sports every day, SATs and ACTs, APs coming up and i was unhappy and struggling. it is really hard for me to have focus and consistency in things outside of school which is wrong. and i don’t think i am better. despite being on summer break, i find myself feeling unfulfilled, lonely, upset...i don’t know how to explain it. i have conditioned myself to stay busy and never let myself relax. it is toxic and unhealthy. so i guess all i can say is that this is a blog for studying and academics, which are things that make me happy, but because it is a time consumer...and not exactly school work, it is easy for me to see it as a stressor. but this blog was never meant to be that. it was a way for me to commit to making time for things outside of schoolwork and to find my passions. and just to stop procrastinating. the things that i post are all school related, which like, duh, it is a study blog. but it made me feel like i had to take notes or study for a test in order to create content for this blog. at the time, i was burnt out and just didn’t want to. i saw it as a negative thing because my current situation was negative. 

i am not giving up on this, but i am changing my direction. i will still post about academics and studying and my bujo, but i will also allow myself more freedom for other content. more stuff about my life as a whole. that was my goal all along, but it got lost. thank you to everyone who has supported me in this. i truly appreciate every one of you. i want to post things that are genuine and truthful which is why i am explaining all this. this is just how i feel, so if it doesn’t make sense at all...that’s okay. i want to do things that make me happy now. i want a life full of positivity, not just small moments of happiness here and there. today is my seventeenth birthday and i spent it feeling kind of upset and alone. i didn’t really make much of an effort to go out and celebrate it with my friends, but i need to make more of an effort to do that. and to do more of what makes me happy. school is not everything. being smart and getting good grades is great, but not at the expense of your happiness or your health. it is okay to take breaks.

so that is my explanation. thank you all so so so so much. i love you guys. <3

How You Get The Girl - CH. 1: I’d Never Thought You’d Be So Pretty

A/N: The au this fic is set in is @jhaskii‘s nerd/jock au ! I had a whole lot of fun writing it and I obviously plan on more chapters! If Jax will bear my questions, that is! Notice me senpai

Pease imagine the setting as something similar to this classroom. tl;dr amphitheater classroom.

Summary: Kanan Matsuura is your local secretly awkward jock, Mari Ohara is the prep with an Instagram follower count higher than your bank balance, Dia Kurosawa is a nerd with a hidden talent for getting caught in Mari’s shenaningans and a not-so-secret passion for gay idols. This is gonna be good.

—

I’d Never Thought You’d Be So Pretty

She sighed and closed her eyes for a moment, trying to reconnect the neurons she was sure she had lost during the past half an hour or so. Algebra classes were hell. And apparently Satan himself had decided to grace them with his very presence, seeing how hot the room was.

Kanan had already taken off her varsity, rolled up the sleeves of her grey t-shirt and would’ve sold her soul for a pair of shorts and flip flops. Or maybe a swimsuit.

She collapsed on her desk, a groan escaping her throat at the mere thought of a pool.

Suddenly, she heard a soft giggle come from the row in front of her and she opened one eye to be met with yellow irises bright with mirth.

Kanan had just a second, enough time to formulate the thought ‘I’m gay’, before the pretty girl in question bit her lip to hide a smile and turned around to go back to her notes.

Kanan blinked. She was confused.

She had a vague - but that was an euphemism - idea of who the girl was, she was pretty sure she was following her instagram, at least. The whole student body did.

With thoughts on constants and integrals replaced by curiosity, Kanan stopped paying attention the lesson altogether. Whipping her phone from her pocket she tapped here and there until a photo of the pretty girl appeared on her screen.

Mari Ohara. Blonde, hot and not at all dumb apparently.

Does she really have a 5.0 GPA? Is-is that even possible?

She had credentials alright. Because not only was she a straight-A student, but she was also an instagram celebrity and a filthy rich one at that. She was also held as a nice person, which Kanan wanted to call bullshit on because this girl has to have at least one flaw, dammit.

Sudden movement pulled her eyes away from the screen and she watched the painfully obvious nerd girl sitting next to Mari as she gracefully took off her sweater. How do you even do that gracefully.

Her silky brown hair cascaded down her back as she neatly folded the garment and placed it beside her. She had started unbuttoning the sleeves of her button up when something seemingly caught her attention.

To Kanan’s surprise the nerdy girl confidently raised a hand, leaving her task half done, and politely pointed out how the equation developed on the board presented a mistake in the middle part of the fourth line, which the professor had just done writing.

Kanan had to admit her voice was nice, if a bit cold perhaps.

After a full minute in which the whole class stared at the girl in disbelief, the professor hastily thanked “Miss Kurosawa” for correcting him, shame apparent on his features, and erased the incriminated proof in a click.

“Miss Kurosawa”’s response was a nod as she silently returned to neatly rolling her sleeves up.

Mari nudged her side, whispering just loud enough for a now very interested Kanan to hear. “You should stop correcting him Dia, otherwise he’s gonna go into early retirement. Do you want that on your conscience?”

“I firmly believe that, if one happens to make a mistake, they should be promptly corrected. By whom exactly does not matter much.” Dia answered without ungluing her eyes from the board. So she really was cold after all. “He should not be ashamed if the one to correct him happens to be one of his students, I do believe it is a sign his way of teaching proves to be effective.”

Okay, formal, overly formal, but not cold. The girl, Kurosawa Dia, was revealing herself to be quite the surprise. Kanan assumed she and Mari were pretty good friends, but she had never seen Dia in any of Mari’s pictures or had never associated the two in any way. Though the connections could totally be there as Mari wasn’t exactly the popular girl stereotype. She was rich, yes, but she also had a perfect GPA, which Kanan had a feeling was one of Dia’s requirements for talking to people.

Forgotten for a while, but still very much present, Kanan’s body was melting where she sat. She could feel drops of sweat roll down her back and she was sweating in places she didn’t even know could sweat. And that was saying something when she’d been playing sports all her life.

Kanan was just beginning to wonder how Dia could bear all that hair on her neck when she started gathering the mass of brown locks in her hands, exposing her nape. Kanan was then entranced by Dia’s nimble fingers working their magic on hair that was longer than she expected. But they were gone just as they had appeared, quick to tie the perfect bun up with a pencil.

Kanan forgot she was in public, though honestly who cares, and let her gaze wander over what of Dia’s figure she could see. Her neck was slender and shimmering with small beads of sweat and her shoulders, probably her whole figure, were smaller than Kanan had anticipated. She was dainty with a touch of British all-male college, if that made any sense.

She could’ve easily been a cheerleader, had she chosen that road, but it wasn’t like that. Fortunately for Kanan, probably, because the whole cheerleading squad held a grudge against her, she still didn’t know if it was due to her refusal of their invitation or because she hadn’t joined the football team.

The bell rang and she thanked the gods above for putting a relaxing class such as AP Biology right after the generally stressful Algebra. She shoved her books into her backpack and tied her jacket around her hips, but her bag unceremoniously fell to the floor when she caught a glimpse of Dia’s features.

Her lips were plump and pink without the aid of any makeup, a beauty mark on the right corner of her mouth the only perfect decoration for her fair skin. The profile of her nose was delicate and it let to strikingly turquoise eyes that shone even in a badly lit high school classroom.

Her cheekbones were dusted with pink from the scorching temperature and they were the perfect model for the slightly ragged, but still amazingly classy appearance her solid sky blue shirt gave her. Sleeves rolled up, first two buttons undone to let the smallest silver of skin show, her updo was the only fitting hairstyle to frame such breathtaking beauty.

It all lasted but a moment, as Dia rolled down her sleeves, buttoned up her collar and let her hair free again, returning to the flawless nerdy girl Kanan had seen correcting an estimated professor. Minus the sweater, which was obviously too heavy to be of any use.

Kanan felt like she’d just seen something she shouldn’t have.

“Pick your jaw up from the floor, pretty thing.”

An amused voice snapped Kanan out of her daze and she jumped up to see Mari Ohara, in all the glory of a white top with ‘mega milk’ printed on it in blocky letters and a high waisted skirt, staring at her with an amused smile on her lips and straight up laughter in her golden eyes.

“I-I’m sorry, what?” she sputtered in response, realising she was frozen in the motion of throwing her backpack on her shoulder but without the backpack. Dia turned to the two with a completely neutral expression, except for the slight inquisitive look in her eyes, directed mostly at Mari and not at the dark haired stranger awkwardly standing on her right.

Mari calmly walked over to Dia and put her hands on her shoulders from behind, giving Kanan the feeling she was showcasing her. Dia looked perplexed, if still mostly neutral.

“I very well know that our Dia here is a beauty in full bloom,” she started, and Dia side eyed her, but she continued on. “I also noticed that you’ve been staring at her for the most part of an hour.”

Kanan choked on air at that because she’d thought no one had really noticed her paying too much attention to the pretty, nerdy girl seated in front of her.

Simultaneously, Dia blushed, thankfully hidden under her already rosy cheeks, and her eyes widened just slightly, Mari still very much there, preventing her from bolting for the door.

Kanan lowered her head and scratched the back of her neck in embarrassment. “I’m… very sorry, it was rude of me.”

Dia felt Mari’s presence shift and then leave her, just to see her appear in front of the polite stranger.

“Chin up beautiful stranger!” she quipped, tapping Kanan’s head with an index and middle finger covered in rings. “Dia’s not mad, right?”

Kanan carefully raised her gaze at that, treading on unknown territory still.

Dia didn’t even have the time to properly formulate a rather frustrated response for her friend, because she just carried on like a panzer.

“See? Shiny!” the blonde cheered, almost prompting Dia’s automatic response to poor use and placement of English lexicon.

“Now, I do believe that you should tell us your name, right Dia? Because you already know hers and you obviously know me.”

Mari, Kanan noticed, was just slightly taller than her, by contrast she had a typically feminine figure compared to her own muscular build.

Kanan couldn’t help but mentally laugh at being stuck in that kind of situation with a pretty nerd and the popular girl who was really a weirdo. So she put her clammy hands in her pockets, breathed out a sigh and unsheathed her best smile.

“I’m Kanan Matsuura, pleased to meet you both.”

Dia felt herself grow warmer and consciously tried to blame it on the weather, clutching the strap of her bag hoping Kanan wouldn’t notice her nervousness.

Mari then jumped up, startling them both. “Oh I knew it! I knew it!”

Dia shot her a questioning glare at that point, because she’d seen the clock and they were almost late. A Kurosawa was never late.

“I kindly present to you! A fuckboy!” she said with a flourish, smiling both towards a confused Kanan and an increasingly impatient Dia. “The shoes, the way she has her hands in her pockets, the tan, the blindingly white smile and those muscles, boy do I have to tell you a thing or two.”

“Are you done? We’re almost late and you are most certainly bothering Matsuura-san.”

“Just Kanan is fine,” she smiled. “Can I call you by your names? And I actually have a Bio class but you’re not bothering me at all” and she quickly looked at Mari, though she doubted she needed the reassurance.

Dia couldn’t answer then and there, but thankfully Mari had words that counted for two. “Oh you can call me any way you want, trust me,” she laughed, placing a hand on Kanan’s broad shoulders.

A quick breath and Dia was practically dragging Mari out of the room by her collar. “Excuse her terrible manners and our hasy departure Kanan-san, but I refuse to be late to class because of her caprices. Have a good day.”

As Dia finished her sentence, Mari escaped her grasp and jogged to Kanak’s side. To her surprise, she pulled her in for a kiss on the cheek. “You’d look so good in my Instagram pictures.”

As Mari run down to the door to the sound of ‘Dia wait’, Kanan’s attention was yet again drawn to the pretty nerd.

It should have been illegal for someone to look that good in a dress shirt, my god, was the way it hugged her figure perfect. The beige pants she was wearing were also very flattering, especially to her long legs.

Before she crossed the threshold, Dia shot her another glace, which Kanan di not expect.

It should’ve been illegal for someone wearing oxfords to be that pretty.

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 1st July 2018

Just a shorter episode today, hopefully. As long as it’s 1,000 words I’m fine with making a lower-effort episode after a busy week of doing other stuff like BLAST TO THE PAST and promoting my mixtape. This has kind of fell in my priorities since, but I’ll still try and make something of an interesting read with the five new arrivals we have, and all the other antics.

Top 10

Well, we have another new number-one this week, topping the charts at its fourteenth week here! This one’s “Shotgun” by George Ezra, which I believe is Ezra’s first ever number-one, so congratulations, even if the song is much less deserving than, say, “Budapest”.

This means that the song “Solo” by Clean Bandit featuring Demi Lovato has been hit a spot to the runner-up space, number-two, but I have a feeling it will rebound.

“2002” by Anne-Marie won’t freaking go away at number-three. It’s been steady for weeks now, please drop or climb sometime!

Former #1 “I’ll be There” by Jess Glynne has not fulfilled its promise by staying at number-four.

Oh, yeah, and we also gave XXXTENTACION a top-five hit, as “SAD!” crawled up a whopping 26 spaces to get to number-five, after UK chart rules started to include YouTube video streaming, conveniently right at the time the video for X’s track dropped. I think this may mean more new arrivals each week, so prepare for that, but we’ll see.

“If You’re Over Me” by Years & Years is up two spots to number-six, and will go into the top five once the album releases this week.

“Better Now” by Post Malone is now down a position, probably due to “SAD!”, to number-seven.

“I Like It”, however, by Cardi B, Bad Bunny and J Balvin is climbing up higher – it had a one-spot boost this week and is now at number-eight.

“Leave a Light On” by Tom Walker is down two spaces to number-nine, but will rebound because I heard it on another advertisement and that’s how this song gets plays.

Finally, just like last week, we have “One Kiss” by Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa staying at the final spot in the top 10.

Climbers

Other than “Rise” by Jonas Blue featuring Jack & Jack up five spots to #12, most of our big gainers this week are for cloud or emo-rap artists, including Juice WRLD, whose “Lucid Dreams” got a five-spot gain up to #18 (I called it!), Post Malone, whose feature alongside Preme on Tiesto and Dzeko’s “Jackie Chan” got a big 15-space boost up to #20, as well as the late XXXTENTACION, who got some more post-death streams, landing his two other songs that entered the top 40 last week in higher peaks, the highest being “Moonlight”, up 15 spots to #17, and the other being “changes”, which although latching on nowhere near as well as “Moonlight” and “SAD!”, is still up 11 spots to #22.

Fallers

We don’t have many, but the ones we do have are massive, and mostly for bigger hits that served a long time in the top 20. We have Ariana Grande’s “No Tears Left to Cry” taking an 18-spot leap down to #23, George Ezra’s “Paradise” being clearly drowned by his self-competition, jumping down 17 spaces to #29, joining “Love Lies” by Khalid and Normani down eleven spots to #33 in the group of bigger tracks that took giant hits. “Bed” by Nicki Minaj featuring Ariana Grande is also down ten spots to #30, and “This is Me” by Keala Settle and The Greatest Showman Ensemble is down five spots, now at #35, and hopefully exiting soon.

Dropouts & Returning Entries

We have quite a few new arrivals, so naturally there were some drop-outs to let the entries come in, including Ziv Zaifman, Hugh Jackman and John Williams’ “A Million Dreams” from The Greatest Showman, dropping out from #37, “This is America” by Childish Gambino featuring Young Thug dropping out from #39, “Lullaby” by Sigala featuring Paloma Faith collapsing and dropping out from #21, alongside “Bad Vibe” by M.O., Lotto Boyzz and Mr. Eazi out from #29. “In My Blood” by Shawn Mendes has also ended its decidedly decent run, as it has dropped out from #38.

In terms of returning entries, we don’t have any, but we do have sudden gains for a lot of songs that have been bubbling under the top 40 for a while, so let’s start talking about the new arrivals.

NEW ARRIVALS

#40 – “Ring Ring” – Jax Jones featuring Mabel and Rich the Kid

Okay, I’m sick of this Jax Jones dude and his bland production, pointless producer tag and stupid sweet-wrapper album covers. Everything he does, including this, just feels so cookie-cutter and aggravatingly bland somewhat-danceable pop music. This, however, is a bit more interesting, as it combines dancehall girl Mabel with trap-rapper Rich the Kid – which has surprisingly happened before on a remix of Rich’s “Plug Walk” – however, it somehow makes the interestingly-distorted vocals from Mabel, which are delivered oddly sensually for a song that’s otherwise really annoying, with its vocal sample in the drop and skittering trap hi-hats that do little but make Rich feel more fitting (it doesn’t work), boring as all hell. This is dancehall, EDM and trap-rap combined without any of the soul, energy or passion that people like Sean Paul at least had when they combined hip-hop with reggae and dance. With Rich the Kid’s tacked-on, phoned-in (quite literally, it starts with him talking about someone calling him) non-presence of a verse, this just feels like a cluttered monstrosity of different minimalist genres that mesh together to create nothing but rubbish chart fodder. I’d say I expected better from everyone involved, but then I’d be kidding myself, and I don’t exactly believe Rich and Jax are even close to how talented Mabel is.

#39 – “Nevermind” – Dennis Lloyd

Wow, you guys just want to give me the bland, inoffensive schlock today, huh? This is Dennis Lloyd, guy with a moustache and a dream – except the moustache is the only thing he deserves to succeed. This dude has the least presence and charisma out of any singer I’ve covered here who doesn’t consider themselves a rapper, and the unnecessarily heavy bass, repetitive and boring hook melody, basically non-existent guitar strumming, weak and fake finger-snaps, the dreamy synths that add nothing at all to the song other than just making it more of a waste of time. This song is only two minutes and 36 seconds, and it’s 80% that simplistic, monotonous hook. I’d say it’s much of a muchness, but it’s not much of anything at all except that damned hook, which is repeated ad infinitum, like an earworm that develops into a full-on mantra that will haunt your nightmares. I mean, it’s not that bad, it’s just so lazily and sleep-inducingly awful that I have nothing to say about it other than the fact it’s snooze-worthy.

#36 – “APES**T” – The Carters (Beyoncé and JAY-Z) featuring Migos

Offset and Quavo don’t have verses. They just provide ad-libs. Biggest musical mistake of the year, probably! Offset would have killed this beat, and Takeoff isn’t even there at all. What’s the deal with that? They’d do better than Beyoncé, of all people, who is sloppily trying to stay on beat (why are we autotuning Queen Bey and letting her make trap-rap ad-libs again?). There’s also this really annoying synth in the beginning that Quavo just repeats “yeah” over, that’s kinda pointless. The pre-chorus from Bey is decent, but her verse just feels kind of boring, as does the hook, right before JAY-Z comes in to kill it like he nearly always does. It’s not incredible bar-wise, but it’s damn tight mainstream brag-rapping – sadly, he has barely any time on the track compared to his wife, as he desperately tries to get more words in edgeways during Beyoncé’s second verse, where he’s resorting to ad-libs behind Bey’s faster flow. Also, it’s kind of awesome that JAY-Z just disses anyone he can right now, because he can definitely get away with it. I don’t know, it’s just kind of cool how there’s no holds barred for him anymore.

It’s not a bad song by any means, but disappointing from three of my favourite urban and hip-hop artists right now – JAY-Z, Beyoncé and Migos. Speaking of Migos, actually, our next song is a much better example of a trap banger.

#34 – “Taste” – Tyga featuring Offset

I rated this a six out of 10 in a rate a few days ago and, well, I didn’t really want to give a paedophile and a homophobe any more credit, hence why I didn’t give it a seven, or even eight, but now, it’s grown on me so much that I can just say I kind of love this.

I love that vocal sample, with the vocalising sounding pretty great behind the subtle bass and piano loop, especially when the vocalist goes into his falsetto. Yeah, I don’t really believe what Tyga says about all his gang activity, because he’s not threatening at all, but when the beat cuts out, he has nice enough lines to make it not seem pointless and anti-climactic. Oh, yeah, and this hook? Catchy as hell. The whispering of “taste” is sensual and kind of creepy, but I frankly don’t care, especially when Offset comes in and kills it, once again – seriously, this dude’s great, and his flow and delivery is always so slick, and it’s proved here. Also, Tyga just sings a bunch of nonsense at some point and he somehow gets away with it because it leads into the chorus well and is apparently a reference to rapper A.E.’s catchphrase (thanks, Genius)? Yeah, while there are some questionable moments, this is a relaxed yet still exciting banger from the dude who made his album art a naked furry tiger lady monstrosity this same year and (Offset!), who apparently has access to pterodactyls, spaceships and Ric Flair (who he actually does have access to; he got him in a video more than once). Maybe that’s why I love Offset – for his goofy personality but how he confines it into such sweet, chill verses, kind of like MF DOOM. Sorry, I’m going off on a tangent, next song!

#32 – “Only You” – Cheat Codes and Little Mix

I was dreading the day I’d have to talk about both of these groups, because I really hate everything they’ve made. Little Mix are either infuriating, confusing or boring with fantastic singers, while Cheat Codes are bland but usually okay production-wise with an awful lead singer, so I guess it’s like the Chainsmokers collaborating with the Chainsmokers when they’ve got a featured singer.

Oh, yeah, this song? It sucks. It’s boring. It has some guitar strumming and simple synth bleeps but they mean nothing. All of the Mix singers are great, as always, but they feel wasted (once again, as always) here, because they don’t really get to burst too soon, which is what I like about their voices – when they belt, they can belt damn well, and I feel it’s just very underwhelming when instead, we get an ugly drop and harmonising from the Cheat Codes singer (in a falsetto at times) in the second verse, which just kind of hilariously proves the landslide in quality between people like Perrie Edwards and people like Trevor Dahl. It’s just kind of short and uninteresting, but what did I expect from Cheat Codes and Little Mix? Not much. Not much at all.

Conclusion

Best of the Week goes to Tyga and Offset for “Taste”, with Honourable Mention not being served, rather a double Dishonourable Mention: “Ring Ring” by Jax Jones, Mabel and Rich the Kid, tied with “Only You” by Cheat Codes and Little Mix. Worst of the Week easily goes to Dennis Lloyd for “Nevermind”. Knowing my luck, that’s going to be a hit. Delightful. See you next week.

What Are Meta-Humans Anyway?

And now onto the comics 😊

Marvel Comics are widely known for their X-men, a group of “mutants” that are often referred to as the next step in human evolution.

Detective Comics, on the other hand, has something called meta-humans. They’re basically the same thing – each group is based in humans with slightly mutated genes that give adaptations to survive – only these are considered superpowers, rather than evolutionary traits.

Due to the lack of continuity in comics, there are many different versions of meta-humans. The three I’ll be talking about are the meta-humans in the cartoon Young Justice, the meta-humans in the traditional comic books, and the meta-humans in the CWTV Arrowverse. 

(warning: very long post, lots of gifs)

Young Justice:

While there are many meta-humans in the first season of Young Justice, season two is an entire arc dedicated to the subject.

Meta-humans are created in an individual with the “meta-gene”, “a genetic marker in certain humans that allows them to endure catastrophic physical trauma by adapting new abilities” (season 2, episode 10, 2:35 in). A triggering event can cause latent meta-genes to activate, or the meta-human could have access to the gene from birth.

In season two, an alien species is attempting to cause latent meta-genes to spontaneously activate so that they can utilize those meta-humans as slaves to conquer Earth. Very comic book-y, but a compelling enough show anyway. In order to cause this gene to activate, the aliens torture anyone they can kidnap with the gene. Sometimes it works, sometimes the people are never seen again.

The meta-humans we do continue to see have a wide variety of powers:

Wally West can run faster than the speed of sound, while his nephew Bart Allen can run faster than light.

Virgil Hawkins can control electricity.

Eduardo Dorado Jr. can teleport (more on this later).

Dinah Lance can emit a piercing cry that renders her opponent deaf.

Pamela Isley can control and communicate with plants. 

It would seem as if these powers were random, but it was also theorized that they were opportunistic as well. In the case of Eduardo, his father was a research scientist studying Zeta-Beam technology, a type of teleportation transportation that can cross a city or cross a galaxy, depending on where another receiver is. The fact that Eduardo Jr. developed transportation powers as well is something researched in the season, but whether or not it was a coincidence was never definitively answered.

Comic meta-humans:

Meta-humans are more well known in the comics. Most people know they are called Meta-humans, and most of the heroes in the Justice League and affiliated groups are meta-Humans. Sometimes there are others, like a few aliens, ghosts, and magicians, but for the most part, meta-humans are the predominant hero (as well as villain). They can be old or young, and their powers can range from being able to live underwater and hydrokinesis, like Queen Mera, to being able to control the ground and cause earthquakes, like Roshanna Chatterji.

Mera:

Roshanna Chatterji:

There are small plotlines dedicated to meta-human powers, such as The Flash (2011) Vol. 2 Rogue’s Revolution, but most of the time, meta-human powers are just the norm.

CWTV meta-humans:

In the Arrowverse on the CW, meta-humans were introduced in the show The Flash. All meta-humans prior to season three in this particular verse (save two, but we’ll talk about them later) only became meta-humans due to a mutation in their genes, caused from the release of dark matter when a particle accelerator exploded.

Here you can see the outward wave caused by the explosion:

2600 people became meta-humans, all of which (again, except two) had to have been in the city of the explosion in order to manifest the effects. In later seasons, meta-humans started popping up in other locations, but it was due to simple travel, not an outside source. The only two theorized meta-humans to not be from Central city are the Hawks.

The more famous of the meta-humans in the Arrowverse include both heroes and villains.

Vibe/Cisco Ramon:

Killer Frost/Caitlin Snow:

Weather Wizard/Mark Mardon:

Firestorm/ Martin Stein + Jax Jackson/Ronnie Raymond:

(in this instance it’s Jax, not Ronnie)

Peek-A-Boo:

And one last one, Gorilla Grodd:

Woah, wait, you might be thinking. Meta-humans are supposed to be human, right? However, in the CW canon, Gorilla Grodd counts as a meta, simply because he was in the city at the time of the explosion and developed telepathic powers as a result. Luckily, Cisco can open rifts to other Earths/dimensions, so dropping Grodd off in a realm full of other gorillas like him prevented Planet of the Apes from happening back home.

Other related questions for your consideration:

Would Cyborg be considered a meta-human in the DC Cinematic Universe, given that his enhancements are from living machinery? Is Wonder Woman a meta-human, given that she’s part human, but her advanced half is mystical? What about Superboy? He’s half human, half-kryptonian, so does that make his powers because of his alien heritage? Or not, given that he can’t use the same amount as Superman? What about Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman in the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited cartoons, given that she’s actually an alien in those continuities? What about in the continuities where she’s a human shell possessed by the consciousness of another entity? What about when she and her “soulmate” are reincarnations of people whose meta-gene was only activated at their first death, and whose ability is itself the act of reincarnation?

JAX JUNGLE FULL AP SHOTTA TUTTO AMMAZZA TUTTI VINCE IL GAME DA SOLO🔥 fea...

[support-your-support]

I feel like when ever I manage to hit S1 it just goes downhill from there when it comes to teams. 

1st game I just played and we had a jungler who refused to gank and a top lane who just kept 1 v 1 and losing time after time.

2nd game our top lane was a Riven against a Jax who would pretend to recall, let Jax jump on her, try to escape, and then die. As a Riven. Then she kept stealing the jungle camps from our jungler and going mid and taking his farm. So.... Jax got super fed and could 1 v 5 us so they pretty much all snowballed when they grouped. 

I just need to hit Gold 5 and I’ll be happy.

 And all I’ve been playing is full support Janna. If she’s banned I play Zyra. So playing both ap supports and a support ‘support’.

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 06/03/2021 ("BED”, Digga D, Kali Uchis)

It’s finally a really short filler week on the UK Singles Chart but not one without its importance as we’ve got some real interesting stuff to talk about this week, even if there are only six new arrivals. Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license” is at #1, and whilst I may not be able to post this on Twitter because I’ve been locked out – don’t ask why – this is still REVIEWING THE CHARTS.

Rundown

So, a lot of our debuts are gone, including “test drive” by Ariana Grande as well as other bigger hits dropping out of the UK Top 75 – which is what I cover – including “Burner on Deck” by Fredo featuring the late Pop Smoke and Young Adz, “i miss u” by Jax Jones and Au/Ra, Taylor Swift’s re-recorded “Love Story”, “Before You Go” by Lewis Capaldi, “Shallow” by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper and “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran. There are also a handful of fallers across the chart like Fredo’s continued drops as “Money Talks” with Dave is at #28, “Let’s Go Home Together” by Ella Henderson and Tom Grennan off of the debut to #34, “Love Not War (The Tampa Beat)” by Jason Derulo and Nuka at #36, “34+35” by Ariana Grande at #40, “Good Days” by SZA dropping hard with the streaming cut down to #46, “Mixed Emotions” by Abra Cadabra at #54, “Watermelon Sugar” by Harry Styles at #60, “Didn’t Know” by Tom Zanetti off of the debut to #68, “Siberia” by Headie One featuring Burna Boy at #71 and “willow” by Taylor Swift at #72. What’s probably more interesting are our gains and returning entries, as for returns, we’ve got “ROCKSTAR” by DaBaby featuring Roddy RIcch back at #75, Wilkinson’s 2013 drum and bass track “Afterglow” featuring uncredited vocals from Becky Hill back at #74 for whatever reason, “Higher” by Clean Bandit featuring iann dior at #70 and “Goodbye” by Imanbek and Goodboys coming back strong at #59. Our gains are also pretty unique, as we have some second winds for “Looking for Me” by Paul Woolford, Diplo and Kareen Lomax at #67, “Loading” by Central Cee at #61 and “Roses” by SAINt JHN and remixed by Imanbek at #55. We also have a handful of climbers within the top 40, like “All You Ever Wanted” by Rag’n’Bone Man surging up to #33 off of the debut, which I’m pretty happy about as it’s a really good song. I’m less over the moon about “Little Bit of Love” by Tom Grennan at #27, “Believe Me” by Navos at #25 and finally, “My Head & My Heart” by Ava Max up to #19. There’s not much movement above that however, so let’s get into our new arrivals, starting with something I didn’t think I see here this soon.

NEW ARRIVALS

#65 – “SugarCrash!” – ElyOtto

Produced by ElyOtto

I love doing this show because I find out more about genres I’d usually tend to avoid. I’m not the most knowledgeable person about Afroswing or really, a lot of the house that ends up charting on the UK Singles Chart. I think I know my fair bit about at least the mainstream of a lot of the UK drill stuff, but what I really would consider myself somewhat specialised in is hyperpop. I’m probably too old to enjoy any of it as much as I do but that may just be why I have a connection to this overly online, digital scene of SoundCloud producers and rappers making pretty obnoxiously mid-2000s-influenced electropop, as it really does feel like a retreat to a simpler time with all of the angst of the emo-pop being made around the same time. The hyperpop scene and bubblegum bass as a whole has always felt inclusive, which I think is one of the main reasons why it’s big with teenagers nowadays, because there really isn’t much of a limit in the genre or at least the scope that we’ve found as of yet, whether it be integrating elements of ‘hexd’ or brostep or trance or what have you. Whilst companies may want us to be nostalgic for the 1990s, I think most people are taking a couple steps forward here, and it’s creating some genuinely great music – some of the time, at least. Hyperpop has birthed many SoundCloud-based sub-genres, or I guess micro-genres, including one of which being glitchcore, a glitchier, more off-the-wall brand of cloud rap with a lot of high-energy trap production and nightcore-esque pitch-shifting. I see some brands of infighting amongst people who listen to hyperpop and glitchcore seeing as glitchcore has arguably taken off a bit faster than other more electronic or pop-focused scenes, but I see that as evolution of a scene more than anything. 100 gecs sounds nothing like A.G. Cook, anyway, it’s pointless gate-keeping at this point, especially when TikTok gets their hands on this random kid from Canada. In a genre full of pioneers, this young Canadian guy’s debut single is what gains traction and for what it’s worth I’m happy for the guy but I’m not a fan of the song at all. This does feel like a parody if anything, with its fast-paced gecs impression and admittedly pretty ethereal synth patterns pretty drowned out by lightweight trap percussion and this ElyOtto guy who really isn’t a presence at all, especially if he’s going to pitch himself down and further into the instrumental on the outro... of a song that’s already only one minute and 20 seconds yet runs through two choruses and a verse, of which nothing really is said of substance. People like blackwinterwells and osquinn make similar music especially in terms of lyrical content but there is something to be said about their honesty and somewhat paranoid tones that creep in, whilst there’s nothing really emotionally convincing about this guy’s delivery or content, as while he may make the same semi-ironic references to self-harm, pain medication and Gen Z culture as they do, he doesn’t really have any tact and it feels overly self-aware to the point where I refuse to believe anyone outside of ElyOtto can really enjoy it fully. It makes perfect sense that this started off as a “short soundfont test” and really, it probably should have stayed that way. There’s a lot to be enjoyed in hyperpop but if this isn’t a satire and is a genuine attempt at approaching the scene, I’d be genuinely surprised. That said, his song “TEETH!” is legitimately good with the exact same length, so maybe I’m just full of it. Either way, I’m not a fan. Sorry.

#56 – “AP” – Pop Smoke

Produced by 808Melo and Rico Beats

Another posthumous Pop Smoke single, except this was actually recorded well before his death and probably finished before to boot, as it’s attached to a film, Boogie, that he will actually star in. With 808Melo on production, it’s guaranteed to have at least some hard-hitting drill production and, yeah, I mean, it’s fine. It’s got a pretty eerie vocal sample behind all the murderous lyrics and pretty busy drill percussion with some great 808s, even if it and the sample feels a bit too loud in the mix when Pop Smoke’s rich voice feels buried. It’s just gunplay, really, and a bit of flexing and references to his older songs, as he makes a call and it’s war and he’s off that Adderall. It’s sad that from now on, any material we get from Pop Smoke will be his leftovers and throwaways. That said, this is fine, perhaps a bit too long, and it could be worse – I mean, it originally leaked with a Rich the Kid verse, it REALLY could have been worse. Once again, RIP Pop Smoke and I hope 808Melo gets his YouTube channel back if he hasn’t already.

#50 – “Pierre” – Ryn Weaver

Produced by benny blanco, Ryan Tedder and Michael Angelakos

The UK Singles Chart is changing, and I think that’s what makes this such an interesting week as there is genuinely some stuff here we’ve never seen debut on the chart before – or anything like it – and that’s exciting to me. You probably know Ryn Weaver from “OctaHate”, a brief 2014 viral pop song written by Charli XCX and produced by Cashmere Cat that led to a debut album the next year and thanks to presumably TikTok, a deep cut from said album has now debuted in the top 50. Now I hadn’t heard of her before looking at the chart about an hour ago, so I can’t tell you much of anything at all about the California singer. I’m not really a fan of “OctaHate” but I do have a fondness for that janky electropop production from the mid-2010s – “Gold” by Kiiara is a hill I’d die on – so with production from Michael Angelakos of Passion Pit, I’d hoped “Pierre” would be pretty cool and, yeah, it’s pretty odd, actually. It seems like a pretty ballad but with a very fast-paced, raspy delivery from Weaver and some choppy production that soon tenses in the chorus and I’ve got to say, while I’m not 100% on the mixing, I can get behind the concept here, especially with some multi-tracked vocals from Weaver. The song itself is about trying to run away from her feelings for a lover that never really went away, particularly as she hooks up later with a man called Pierre who speaks in broken English, which gives a lot of reason for the tense pace of the song, even if that is undercut by the production being muddy and awfully willing to kill its momentum in the outro as there’s never really a proper climax. That said, it’s fitting for that final line, “I’ll come around”, which can be interpreted as about moving on or complacency – just coming back to that guy after years of searching for someone else. I do like this – or at least what it’s trying to do – but I feel like it’d enjoy it more with less clutter, particularly in that chorus, which could really elevate this but as it is, it’s fine.

#45 – “telepatía” – Kali Uchis

Produced by Albert Hype, Manuel Lara and Tainy

Okay, so alt-pop all the way from Latin America, that’s also a first... except not really, as ROSALÍA has charted before, if only off of the back of Billie Eilish. Regardless, this is a really high debut for a global hit from Colombian-American critical darling Kali Uchis, someone I’m always glad to hear from. Admittedly I did not check out that last project that was a return to a lot of the Latin American music, including reggaeton, she took early influence from. That debut studio album is mostly an English-language neo-soul record so I appreciate the risks taken, even if I personally didn’t check it out. I probably should though, because this bilingual streaming success “telepatía”, is pretty damn smooth with some of the signature fuzzy keys you’d hear from any Kali Uchis song, somewhat reminiscent of Tyler, The Creator in all of the elegant piano ambiance and soul drums that cut the line thin between live and programmed, but sound quite either way. I especially love the flushes of Latin guitar in the chorus but really, Uchis’ silky voice is what shines here, especially in the subtle, seductive double-tracking and how smoothly it switches from Spanish to English. It’s not perfect, I mean, the transition from chorus to second verse and back again is somewhat awkward, and it does feel like it runs a little short. I was honestly expecting a guitar solo or something but we get very little of anything after that final chorus. Given that I know Tainy mostly from his work with J Balvin – and I’ll admit, also mostly from his work on the Sponge on the Run soundtrack – I’m pretty pleasantly surprised with how this has meshed together and I do really hope this sticks around.

#23 – “Bluuwuu” – Digga D

Produced by Glvck

We didn’t get an album bomb from Digga D, bless the Lord, but we did get this one single and... do American rappers make genuine death threats on their top 40 singles? Just wondering, because this has several references to rival gang members and how he’s going to hurt them in one way or another. That would be fine if it were convincing, but this guy really isn’t, especially if he’s going to do the silly “bluuwuu” ad-lib in the chorus over one of the least interesting drill beats I’ve ever heard. The 808s don’t slide notably, the percussion is like a template and there isn’t any energy to this... which is fine, because it’s very much just about gang violence, half of it censored. That said, it crosses the line from intriguing detail to possibly too detailed in a way that’s just unwarranted over a boring beat and with the tendency to go off-topic with his flexing ever so often. I’d probably rather listen to the posthumous Pop Smoke single over this if I had to choose, at least that beat is, you know, good.

#20 – “BED” – Joel Corry, RAYE and David Guetta

Produced by Giorgio Tiunfort, New Levels, David Guetta and Joel Corry

I thought these guys were literally famous for just being producers, why does a song by two producers need two extra producers and if it really needs them, why aren’t they given a lead artist credit as well? Oh, right: name recognition, even though neither Corry or Guetta have ever made anything worth recognising. This song with RAYE, personality-void guest singer, relies on the line, “I got a bed, but I’d rather be in yours tonight”, because it’s a sex jam in one way or another, even though there are no stakes to that chorus line at all. Yes, I know RAYE has a bed; she probably sleeps very comfortably on it. She probably bought it from Premier Inn. Maybe they were having a sale. There’s no point in clarifying that you have a bed – in fact, a more interesting lyrical turn would to maybe bring some stakes into it by saying that RAYE does not in fact have a home, and the intimacy with unnamed man keeps her afloat in times of hardship. This is really just me stalling because this may be our highest debut but that does not mean it’s worth talking about. “BED” doesn’t really do much more than it’s supposed to. It’s got some vaguely 90s keys, fake hand-claps, a checked-out performance from RAYE and an anti-climactic deep house drop. Do you care? Does that description make you want to hear it? It’s not a negative critique, it’s an unbiased description of what happens. Are you intrigued with that? Do you want to check this out? This’ll go top 10 next week because of the music video, but God, this is just soulless, and that’s coming from someone who talks almost purely about the pop charts. I do like the post-chorus vocal melody for what it’s worth, but, yeah, no, I don’t care.

Conclusion

I don’t even care enough to give it Worst of the Week, as that’s going to “SugarCrash!” by ElyOtto with a Dishonourable Mention for Digga D’s “Bluuwuu”. Best of the Week should be obvious as Kali Uchis’ “telepatía” is the only good song here, but the Honourable Mention I guess goes to the late Pop Smoke for “AP”, even if that’s mostly because of 808Melo on the production. Here’s this week’s top 10:

I predict a lot will change next week, as we’ve got new songs from Justin Bieber, James Arthur, Bruno Mars (with Anderson .Paak!) and an EP from Drake... follow me on Twitter @cactusinthebank if you want in the event that I can use that again, and I’ll see you next week for that snoozefest.

90 Day Fiance vet Ashley Martson thinks Jax Taylor should be fired

Four cast members of Vanderpump Rules - Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni - were fired this week for making racist comments. But 34-year-old Ashley Martson of 90 Day Fiance fame thinks one more star has to go, Jax Taylor. The beauty accused the Bravo vet Taylor of making racist comments in 2018 about her 22-year-old husband Jay Smith.  Not a fan: Ashley Martson, seen with husband Jay Smith, of 90 Day Fiance fame thinks Jax Taylor should be fired from Vanderpump Rules Ashley - who wed Jay in 2018, split in 2019 and got back together in March of this year - said Jax has a history of shame. 'Jax also needs to be fired from #PumpRules after he made racist remarks to Jay!' she wrote. 'Swipe up for my comment + the proof,' added the star who tagged TLC. She also wrote: 'Did y'all see bravo fired four cast members? Well @bravotv don't leave out old Jax Taylor who harassed us when our show first aired,' Martson wrote next to what she claims to be Taylor's remark. Proof: Ashley claims Jax is racist because he said her husband's nose was 'the size of his head' 'If you don't understand why I find this racist please watch my story. Education is key.' Taylor allegedly wrote, 'Your mans nose is the size of his head…' Martson thought Taylor's comment was rude. 'When your nose or my nose is referenced as large it's probably just a large nose,' she said on Instagram Story. On the town: Jax was seen getting out of his black muscle car in Los Angeles on Thursday Doing something nice: The star was seen handing a beverage to a woman sitting on a crate  outside an CVS pharmacy 'Black people have been historically colored to an ape or monkey, meant to be derogatory.' 'One of the most well known racial stereotypes is referencing a black persons nose, again suggesting it is similar to that of an ape,' she added. Marston also said, she was 'happy to send any literature your way from history books to help you understand as to why a white person shouldn't EVER comment on the size of a black persons nose or lips for that matter.' He must have been hot! The TV vet had on all black during the heatwaves in Los Angeles that has sent temperatures around 90 degrees F. He added a blue mask She also told Celeb Magazine about what happened.  'Taylor's comments were '100% racially motivated,' said the TV vet. 'When we began the show we faced serious race issues on national TV. Jay was super upset about it,' Martson said. 'Right as the show started airing, Jax Taylor started coming at us hard. Calling me a horrible moth and then making fun of Jay and the size of his nose. It was very upsetting. 'We didn't even know who he was,' she added. 'This type of behavior hurts people's feelings. Jay was hurt and couldn't understand why a stranger would say such terrible things to someone he never met.'  'Jax needs to be fired. I will not stop until he is,' Martson added. 'This nonsense has got to stop. We're all human, we're all equal, and we all have feelings.' Her take: Marston also said, she was 'happy to send any literature your way from history books to help you understand as to why a white person shouldn't EVER comment on the size of a black persons nose or lips for that matter.' Seen in February 2019 Martson also said: 'Jax needs to be held accountable for constantly making fun of people.' He also called the star fat. 'And the only way to hold him accountable is to fire him. If they are going to hold certain people accountable, then they should hold them all accountable.'  Jax was seen getting out of his black muscle car in Los Angeles on Thursday. The TV vet had on all black during the heatwaves in Los Angeles that has sent temperatures around 90 degrees F. He added a blue mask. The star was seen handing a beverage to a woman outside an CVS pharmacy.  Faith Stowers, 31, told the Us podcast Watch With Us that she didn't believe officials with Bravo have flushed all of the racism from Vanderpump Rules, citing Taylor as an example. His wife: Jax with hsis spouse Brittany Cartwright of Vanderpump Rules Stowers told the podcast that 'there are other people that should be educated as well because they’ve made some pretty crazy mistakes and said some crazy - not even mistakes. They just said some terrible things.' Vanderpump Rules stars Stassi, Kristen, Max and Brett have been axed by Bravo after their past racist comments resurfaced. Stassi, 31, and Kristen, 37, have starred on the reality show since its inception in 2013 while Max, 27, and Brett, 31, were newcomers on the most recent season eight.   Arguably one of the most popular stars of the series, which follows the staff at Lisa Vanderpump-owned SUR restaurant in West Hollywood, Stassi has come under fire for a disturbing racist stunt, along with racially-insensitive remarks she has shared online in recent years. They're out: Vanderpump Rules stars Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute have been fired by Bravo after their racially-charged prank that targeted co-star Faith Stowers The outspoken blonde has since been dropped by her agent, publicist and several sponsors after her and pal Kristen's racially-driven stunt against black co-star Faith Stowers came to light.  A spokesperson for Bravo and Evolution Media confirmed in a statement on Tuesday that Stassi, Kristen, Max and Brett 'will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules'.  Stassi also made offensive comments on a previous podcast episode where she was  heard speaking negatively about black people and claiming they ask for special treatment in Hollywood.  On Tuesday afternoon, Faith said felt 'vindicated' after their firing, in a new interview with Page Six. Apologetic: Newcomers Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni have also been dropped by Bravo. They apologized last week for past racist tweets on the Vanderpump Rules reunion 'I feel so vindicated studios and production are able to see blatant racism and make these positive changes and help move the race forward - help with the fight forward,' Faith told the outlet. The 31-year-old star continued: 'I was in the middle of prayer and I felt a sense of - I know it sounds corny - I felt a sense of glory. I felt God's presence and I'm seeing now maybe that is what that was.' Adding: 'He gave me a sign of optimism meant to be hopeful and showing that all of this was worth it.' Faith said that she 'was ready to put myself in the line of fire because I don't know what will happen if I don't say anything, but I'm glad I did.' 'Now I'm seeing Bravo follow suit, releasing women that have given crazy ratings for them because they want to be on the right side of history and I'm seeing people are finally hearing us,' Faith said to Page Six.    She also said that she hopes networks and production companies are 'ready to hire casting directors and producers of color to make sure there changes are not just a one-time thing.'  Faith added: 'I hope they use this time that they have now to educate themselves to why this happened to them and try to use voice later for real change.'  After losing several endorsement deals over the past week, Stassi has now been forced to part ways with both her agent and her publicist, Variety reported Monday. Scandal: Stassi parted ways with both her agent and her publicist after previous racist remarks and behavior has resurfaced A spokesperson for UTA, where Stassi was represented, has confirmed she is no longer a client of the agency. Additionally, a representative of the PR firm Metro Public Relations told the publication: ' became a client when her publicist joined our company in July 2018. We made the decision this weekend to part ways with Stassi.' The moves come after Stassi apologized for past 'racially insensitive comments' and for a particularly demeaning stunt, in which she purposefully misled the police in an effort to get her black former costar Faith Stowers – whom she didn't like – in trouble. Stassi was vocal online recently about her support for the Black Lives Matter movement; however, the gestures seemed significantly different to her output from three years ago. Most damning: Stassi called the cops on her black former costar Faith Stowers – whom she didn't like – in an effort to get her in trouble on a previous season of the show; Faith is seen in 2016 above She claimed that black people demanded special treatment in her March 2, 2017 podcast in which she talked about the lack of diversity of Academy Award candidates, referred to on social media as #OscarsSoWhite. 'Maybe you weren't nominated because you didn't do that great of a job in your movie,' said Stassi. 'Like it's not about race. It's literally like not about what you look like at all. It's like your acting ability, so like, what the actual f***?' The New Orleans-born reality star said on the podcast (which she later deleted from her site, according to US) of black people: 'When they get upset, everybody has to go above and beyond to then make them happy. 'I'm like, really sick of everyone making everything about race - I'm kind of over it.' Despite the take on race, Stassi had plenty more to say about the topic: 'Like, everyone giving their impassioned speeches about race and all of that stuff, I'm like, "Why is it always just about African Americans?'' Is he hanging by a thread? The star has been criticized much laterly; seen on season seven  Read More Read the full article
