I revived one of my old fanfic series, “Amazing Rap Skirmishes of Fiction”, which is based on the Epic Rap Battles of History series.

The return chapter: Markus (Detroit Become Human) vs. Jin Sakai (Ghost of Tsushima)

[leastparanoidandroid]

epic rap battles of history. miserable nineteen year old who is intellectually gifted but psychologically aberrant and has never been told ‘no’ losing everything he has because he dealt with consequences that neither he nor any person could ever fully comprehend through complete avoidance and dissociation after being catalyzed by grief and motivated by insatiable curiosity, deadly obsession, and painfully human pride to commit a horrific crime against nature without knowing exactly what he was getting into. versus miserable corpse man who has been abandoned by his creator, the closest thing he has to a god and his only chance at salvation, and despised by both said creator and society as a whole, desperate to experience the world even if his existence within it is unwilling and strange, yet perpetually separated from it, isolated and ultimately doomed by circumstances outside of his control, a being who never really had a chance in the first place

I dunno if this is my Pokemon hyperfixation making me have revelations of the world after watching Epic Rap Battles of History, but I feel like people miss the point of Area Zero, Paradox Pokemon, and Terapagos role in the story when they say they have no answer/lore or no relevance to the plot. When they do it's just subtle; which is because those things serve symbolic purposes compared to the human characters and Ogrepon

Roman polanskis movies could not be good enough for people to overlook the child rape thing like come on… i feel like the epic rap battles of history dudes have easily contributed more to art and the humanities

Ghosts and Greenery:

Sakumo being forced to watch as his son breaks around the edges and all but throws himself on his opponents blades despite never turning his weapons against himself. Not like Sakumo did. Never that.

Sakumo not telling him that even when Kakashi was home he spent as much time watching over Naruto as Sakumo himself did. Sakumo watching Naruto walk up to an ANBU in a hound mask and ask why he felt so sad.

Ughhhhhh. Right in my Hatake shaped feels. Those are sensitive you know.

one of their own has been left alone in a village of earth and trees when the sand and reefs have always been his birthright.

Red haired spirits traveling away from watery graves and leaving sun bleached bones unattended on sandy beaches for the first time in centuries.

Little naru hefting around a comically large flowerpot to give to kakashi “cuz orange flowers make me happy so now you’ll be happy too!

Plant growing competitions!!!

little Naruto would probably be really uncomfortable with human touch at first because the only kind he’s ever know is cold and sends shudders down even his spine sometimes. Warmth is something he’s always craved, but it’s lack has made it feel like too much. Though oddly enough, it’s only in certain situations. Lord thirds hand in his hair, Mizuki’s resting between his shoulder blades. Too much.

I hate everything. How DARE that hurt so much. Just fuckkkk

The only time warmth felt comfortable was when he pressed up against Hound-San, who felt enough like Uncle Sakumo that Naruto could forget the too hot feeling that made shoulder pats or side hugs feel so… weird.

Madras plant is called ash bringer and Tobiramas is snow cat

Madara called him a frigid cunt

And poor Naruto who already can’t focus is watching The Days of Our Afterlives play out in real time in front of him

Accidental rainforest cafe and stoned tree frog ref

Hashirama and Naruto hold funerals for the dead plants with the ghosts their named after crying in the background. Whenever a new generation is sent off, they get a speech for their “bravery and valor” and are thanked for their “sacrifice for the cause” which is making Kakashi happy.

Kakashi gets a fake plant after ten gens of ghost funerals and ghost-village wide send offs

They both do the knitting with senbon. Naruto makes the most garish neon sweaters that are so unfairly comfortable. Kakashi probably does a dog pattern. Omfg Pakkun with a little old man sweater

Sakumo is fully sold on the pair of Kiba-and-Akamaru taking care of his youngest pup for the rest of his life.

After the tenth WWE Smackdown between the two of them Naruto sits them down like toddlers and make them talk it out. Half of the time every week is dedicated to the Tobirama and Madara show because they never stop.

Sakumo having beef with a 13ish yr old (Rin) and the 13is yr old having beef with him

Epic rap battles of history: Konoha edition is giving me life

Naruto still being scared of ghost stories

Tobirama: I’m this close to killing you again Uchiha. I doubt your brother would even try to stop me considering how you’ve been treating him as of late. I also take issue with the tone and volume you’ve been speaking to him with. The way you place emphasis on his name in conversation is likewise unacceptable you pint sized, inconsiderate, rat faced bast-

while waiting for kakashi to show up for team meetings, absently says Hatake Kakashi three times (an easy way to get the ghosts attention) and the second he’s done Kakashi shows up. He starts doing it more and somehow every time it works.

Bites all of this

Just some thoughts about my experience with arts and humanities

Something I realised recently is that like...my high school self had no sense of anything outside stem. Like I could not comprehend any kind of art.

Like I would look at a painting and just be like...ok thats a depiction of something. So what. If it was abstract I'd just sort of look at it and be like ????

I would look at dancing and be like...huh I guess they really are moving around. I remember being so confused why people danced.

I would hear music and just not really pay attention, or when I did it was at most because I found the lyrics funny or catchy. I didn't really listen to music in high school, or dance. I knew a load of epic rap battles of history though. I certainly didn't appreciate music at all.

When I read fiction as a young child it was mainly plot related. Which sure, is a valid and normal kind of thing to enjoy, but I don't know if I'd call it "art" as much as generally "culture". I didn't love any storytelling techniques or anything or read into meanings. I didn't love certain characters or anything.

When I was forced to read and analyse books and plays for a while I literally thought counting your analytical devices was the purpose. And at another point I thought that nobody could REALLY believe what we had to write. It was just made up stuff, or at best just using language devices for fun while explicitly saying something. Why people used language devices was kind of foreign to me, but I knew I got points for identifying them.

I didn't really watch movies or anything either.

I understood geography and history somewhat well as a type of science, or at least an inquiry into how reality works if you think its not science. And I understood things like economic politics from a similar lens. But I think there is a significant difference here between what I mentioned before.

And yes, you don't need to be able to analyse and write essays about a thing for it to be art but I wasn't feeling anything at all. Which is just...confusing to me? How did this happen? Because now I listen to music because I enjoy it. I watch TV shows when I have time. I'm super into reading about philosophy, politics, and economics. I dance to my music when I'm at home and can feel some sense of satisfaction watching dancing. I still don't really get visual art but whatever. How did I go my entire childhood not understanding art? Was someone meant to tell me or do you guys just figure it out on your own? I feel behind now when I listen to people gush about certain lines or characterisations of people and I'm just like ???? oh I guess now you point it out I see it. Huh.

This vaguely reminds me of how I basically didn't care about people as friends for all of primary school. I had 'friends' but it was more of 'oh lets do stuff with these people' and not like 'i care about this person as a person'. At the end I remember just being like "yep ok don't need to see them again, bye..". Only in high school did I start to care about people as humans and want to spend time with them and know them and care about them.

I don't know if this is some kind of developmental delay or something. At least it did wonders for the stem part of my brain because I basically never had to try hard to understand any stem subject. I instead focused all of my trying into improve test performance, which i fucking DESPISE. what a waste of my life. At least at the end I started teaching myself chemistry at a pace I enjoyed.

Hamilton- a review and a shoutout to my current favorite musical

hi! just got done with my mid-semester exams this week and thought I would start by recommending a musical I absolutely loved (yes I’ve been on a musical kick, I blame my cousin).

Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda is musical comprising of AMAZING soundtracks that I re-listen entirely every couple of days (I wish I was kidding) with the music spanning over genres of hip-hop, rap, musical theatre and more.

Just a note before I go into more about why I loved it- this is not a play made with the intention of depicting history. Yes, it draws from historical events and has historical figures as the main characters but the fact remains that it is a musical, and not intended to have a political message glorifying things like slavery. I will say that it while it does not forgoe looking at the themes of feminism and slavery and does have references to them, it in no way focuses on them and therefore might have the unintended consequence of glorifying figures like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington who owned slaves and such. If you plan on watching this musical, do go into it with this information.

About the musical

Hamilton is the epic saga that follows the rise of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton as he fights for honour, love, and a legacy that would shape the course of a nation. It is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography and has the themes of romance, honour, war, revolutions, adultery, politics and more.

Why I loved it

Did I mention I absolutely ADORED the songs? Because I'm obsessed with each and every one of them. The way you can read into them and how each song can be seen as a build-up for the next and how later songs reference lines from the earlier songs- it's frankly amazing and so cool.

Speaking of the songs, I loved that this was essentially just music and continuous beats. The conversations followed a pattern and more often than not, ended up being part of the songtrack itself. While I do love musicals that have songs and then periods of just dialogue in-between where 'the plot thickens' (imagine with the hand gesturing and air of mystery, please tell me someone knows what I'm talking about); all the plot advancing needed in Hamilton is mainly included in the tracks (hell, an entire Cabinet debate is a rap battle) and I adore this form of storytelling. It's also another reason I love re-listening to all the songs, since I know exactly what part of the musical it's from and what's going on in that number.

Moving on to the characters- I loved that none of them were glorified but still given human qualities such you can find them tolerable and want to listen to what they are saying. That's not to say I like most of them as historical figures (I decidedly do not). But they were all so distinct here- in their personalities, their style of talking, their general demeanor and more- that it played a large part in how their contasting characters fit into the story so seamlessly. A huge shoutout to the cast for that, I absolutely loved how they embodied their characters.

Let me end with saying the way the story is written and portrayed is incredible. It goes in a linear timeline and have so many cool elements to it that you can't take your eyes away from the scene. There are so many different ways to look at every scene and… well, I could go on but it's safe to say I'm in love with this musical. (My favorite songs are Wait For It and Burn and my favorite scene has to be the whole rewind scene with Angelica Schuylur and the characters of Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr and King George III HAVE to be my favorite because I honestly laughed out loud every time I saw some of their expressions and the lines that went with them.)

All-in-all, I recommend watching this musical with all my heart! I loved it and would a thousand percent rate it 5 stars.

SHOULD I START SHIT WITH THE HUMAN PET GUY. EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY

[elk-ambrose-scott-writing]

Things That Break My Heart: Pop Culture Edition

That Starscream is broken and it's not his fault.

That everyone blames him for what Megatron does to him. How the fandom brushes off that he has nightmares about Megatron and he has to tell himself that they're not real. That there really are so many different kinds of pain, just like Megatron tells him. That Megatron gets a redemption arc and Starscream doesn't. That Starscream lashes out at everyone around him.

That I tried to hit my coworker because they tapped me on the shoulder. That I have to tell myself the hallucinations of my abuser aren't real. That there are so many different kinds of pain. That his friends have given him a redemption arc. That I am still lashing out at everyone around me. That I am alone most of the time so I am lashing out at myself. That I can't stop.

I can't stop.

That Hugh Jackman will never love me

That Magneto will never see that he's wrong, that every human he kills is a hydra creating three more humans who will always hate mutants no matter what. How his Mother wouldn't want this. How I agree with him after spending two hours online, that we need to get rid of them before they get rid of us. That if we're not careful, we'll be cured out of existence by electroshock and vitamin therapy. How I still take vitamins.

How much Odie loves Garfield. How much Odie hides his intelligence. How no one will ever love me as much as Garfield loves lasagna.

How I can't hold dolls because this is the only thing remotely baby shaped I'll ever be able to own. How I want to buy the doll at the store and I always put it back. How I know that because my insides are dead earth where nothing grows I'll always have money for indulgences. How I don't deserve indulgences because there's a black hole in my pelvis that crushes the light around it.

In the epic rap battle of history between “Steve Jobs” and “Bill Gates” Steve Jobs dies and Bill says “You know what? Fine, die then. The whole world loved you, but you were my friend”. The actor has a half-second of pain like he had a friend the whole world loved, but they were his. And now they're gone. And they're never coming back.

The whole world loved her, but she was my friend. And now, just like Gates, there's no one left to challenge me the way she did.

The whole world loved her.

She was my friend.

She's never coming back.

The way my cat is aging and there's nothing I can do about it. How my dog was a puppy and I blinked and she was ashes and a print-out computer paper picture sitting on a shelf. How I lost four pets in two years and two of them weren't cremated until last June because we didn't have the money. How I'm going to blink and he's going to be sleeping and he won't wake up.

When Simba shakes Mufasa and he doesn't get up. How Grandma held Grandpa's hand for months and he didn't get up. How my friend died in a hospital in Toronto with a tumour on her spine. How one day she sat down and couldn't get back up.

The way Greed dies at the end of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood; how he always had what he wanted and he didn't see it until he had to choose between himself or the people he loved. How he never saw that the hole in his heart was never a hole at all and it was always a platform, lifting what he loved rather than sinking in

That I'm broken. And it's not my fault.

That I am still in the redemption arc. That it breaks my heart that both my abuser and Starscream will never get one. That no one really deserves a redemption arc. We're all just hurting the people around us, more than we can really understand.

That we all deserve a redemption arc. That he'll never get one because redemption requires acknowledgement of sin. How I have to acknowledge his sin. That I'm broken, and it's not my fault

That like Starscream, I can transform. I just need something better to turn into, that I can fly, no matter how much it hurts to remember that my wings are dented.

That my wings are dented, but that they're not broken.

That he never once beat the urge to fly out of me.

[clowndaydreams]

I can't help but imagine Reader using Epic Rap Battles of History to teach otherwise disinterested Purples about human history. They all think Einstein can drop sick bars now, but a step is a step.

It also massively confuses their mental timeline of who lived during what period. But’s a fun activity for the wrigglers just learning how to rap and read. So the blessing doesn’t worry too much about it.
