a first kiss maybe 🤔 (tho i leave it entirely up to you ❤️)

22. A Rush of Adrenaline

Oh, this one was a fun premise. About 500 words. CW for mentions of characters being shot at and a near death experience.

As they hide behind the hill, waiting for the stray bullets to stop going off, the duo stay quiet. From experience, they know Ga’ran’s soldiers won’t stop firing until they think they’ve scared off their target. They crawl into some bushes to be safe. After all, a few bugs on their skin are better than bullet wounds.

After it’s clear they’re gone, they both catch their breath as Dhurke laughs. “You know, when I said I needed a better wake up alarm, I did not mean that.”

Datz definitely can agree with that sentiment. “Y-yeah. ‘m glad yer okay.”

“Same with you.” Dhurke flashes a smile, poking his head out of the bush. “I don’t see anyone, but I bet that someone is staying behind to see if we go anywhere. I suppose we’re going to be staying here for a bit.”

“Damn,” Datz frowns. His heart is still racing from the adrenaline of the surprise attack. Normally, they wouldn’t step down so easily, but the two were just out for a morning stroll and didn’t think to bring more than a couple knives with them. They didn’t expect to see some of the troops in this side of the country. They especially didn’t think they had the orders to open fire.

From the few times they've ran into a stray troop member, they just leave each other alone, pretending the one or the other doesn't exist. Datz would even claim they were once somewhat civil with any Dragon if they were just minding their own business.

Well, probably not anymore…

“We need to do something. I think they know where our hideout is.” Dhurke looks forward. “Don’t get me wrong, we have done small things for the revolution, it’s time to do something to end this.”

“With those troops gettin' aggressive, do ya think it’s safe?”

“Safe isn’t a word we should consider anymore. By this rate, they’ll have confirmation of where our hideout is by the end of the week. If they don’t already,” Dhurke exhales. With a snarl, he continues. “She has to go down. If any more propaganda is effective, we may no longer have any support.”

“I get yer concerns, but ya think too hard.” Datz smiles, “We’ll figure it out later, ‘kay? We survived.”

Dhurke pauses, then nods. “Alright. I suppose it’d be better to talk about it with the rest of the group.”

There’s a comfortable silence as the adrenaline wears down. The two stare at the lovely scenery around them, a thick forest with the chirps of many birds in the background. Datz is about to suggest they check to see if the troops are gone, but when he turns his head, Dhruke’s lips on his own. It’s a small peck, but when Dhurke pulls away, he’s not even flustered. He just rests his head on Datz’s shoulder.

“Whoa, ya gotta marriage proposal for me or somethin’?” Datz laughs, trying to hide his own bright red face.

“Or something.”

“What’s up with ya?”

“We just nearly died.” Dhurke admits with a shrug. “It just felt right to do. Just in case this situation happens again. And...we're not so lucky."

Oh.

“So you woulda regretted it if ya didn’t do it?”

Dhurke nods with a faint smile. “Exactly.”

I'm still taking these! Please use the meme prompt here and send an ask and I'll get to it!

Three Minutes to Eternity: My ESC 250 (#31)

youtube

#31: Duo Datz -- Kan (Israel 1991)

"כאן ביתי, פה אני נולדתי, במישור אשר על שפת הים, כאן החברים איתם גדלתי, ואין לי שום מקום אחר בעולם"

"Here is my home, here I was born, On the plain by the sea Here are the friends I grew up with And I have no other place in the world"

One of my favorite moments as a Eurovision fan was finding out Emil Lofstrom's favorite Eurovision song. A few months ago, he made the listeners of Eurovision Legends guess what was it, because he was interviewing that artist. Going from the hint that the song was Israeli, I guessed that it was Kan, because it was a major fan-favorite and was quite lively. And I was right!

Besides that, 1991 had, in my opinion, the best top three of all-time. It’s not only because of the seven-point gap between first and third, but also because the songs are so awesome in their own different ways. The performers were charismatic and snapped on Rome's stage, and showcased what makes their country unique.

While Carola and Amina's fans clash with each other, Duo Datz fans act as the third way for the class of 1991, with their lively and proud song. From the opening flute notes, the melody gets stuck in your head, with the upbeat percussion and the celebratory feeling in the orchestration. Arguably, Kobi Oshrat (the conductor) had to spend a lot of time getting it right. And it was worth it.

Also, Orna and Moshe have great chemistry together, with their harmonies and how they compliment each other with their choreography. Plus, how they shout out "Kan!" in every chorus is so invigorating; you just feel such joy and energy with it despite the song being in the minor key (it was also initially written as a lullaby. It's absolutely glorious, especially when their backing vocalists join them. (Also, Orna’s dress was so pretty.)

Plus, the message of the song stands out--a patriotic song, Duo Datz talk about how the Jewish people wandered out for thousands of years, only to find home again. It's hopeful and proud, but in the thirty years since this song was released, the theme would have holes poked through it.

Two years after this, we had the beginning of the Oslo Accords, which was meant to give way to a final peace settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians through giving the Palestinians some form of self-governance (though it did not give them a state). Despite this, opposition still existed, with some Palestinians questioning how long this process would take and some Israelis believing that would mean the end of a Jewish state. For the latter, it would result in Yitzhak Rabin's assassination in 1995 (which some have argued harmed the peace process irrevocably. Also check out Killing a King: The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and the Remaking of Israel; it's a good cat-and-mouse book, though it focuses on the Israeli government).

And after that, we've seen more attempts at peace, increased cynicism because of the violence, another Intifada, and further concerns about Palestinian human rights. I think there's also a shift in seeing Israel-Palestine from a geopolitical issue (which still is, mostly) to a human rights one. Once that view is more mainstream, then the Israeli government has a lot more to answer for, lest they become a pariah state.

I thought Kan was a bit weaker than the rest of the top two, partially because Israel had done this before (which you will see next), and it may not be as well-received had it been released today. This doesn't mean I don't love it in all its ways; it's definitely "Israeli" for better or for worse, and it's enough to bring joy to my day and act slightly patriotic for a country I don't have any roots in for three minutes.

Personal and actual ranking: 3rd/22 in Rome

One of my favourite ESC-related things I have ever stumbled upon on the internet (and by "stumbled" I mean "digged through an unholy number of google pages before finding it") is this picture of baby Carola and Ofra Haza from back during ESC 1983

About the so-called "Third-Case Syndrome"

I've been in the Ace Attorney fandom for a few years now, and there is a story I've heard more times than I can count: the story of the "Third-Case Syndrome." After joining the Danganronpa fandom, I realized - not without surprise - that a similar "Third-Chapter Syndrome" had admittedly cursed the series. However, I do believe that, in both cases, it would be wise to exert caution: things are never as simple as they seem. Now, even if this seems evident to me, I'll say it just to be sure: this is only my opinion. You might disagree, but please do not be toxic about it.

Before we proceed, I'd also like to warn you all: spoilers ahead for the entire Danganronpa and Ace Attorney series (even the Investigations and DGS games). Now, let's begin.

Ace Attorney:

AA1 - Turnabout Samurai:

To start off, we have 1-3. I agree with most of the fandom that it is slightly too long and the investigation segments drag out. Going from Studio One to Studio Two, to the Detention Center, etc. is quickly boring. However, its cast is solid (especially Powers and Oldbag), Dee Vasquez's motive (self-defense) is original, the Steel Samurai's theme slaps, and Edgeworth gets the first bit of his character development! I believe it outweights the negative aspects of the case and make it enjoyable. I believe it is far better than 1-1 and 1-2 (with its obvious twists and rushed ending), although it doesn't compare with 1-4 and 1-5, of course. But it's definitely not the case that people point the finger out when arguing about the "curse."

JfA - Turnabout Big Top:

I'll definitely be playing Devil's advocate on that one, but I like 2-3. Of course, the whole "love triangle" thing was shit, but the rest of the case was fine! Regina sucks, that I can agree with, but Moe was funny (in my opinion), Max got some quality character development in the end, Ben & Trilo were a nice duo, and Acro... Acro is one of the best culprits in the series, hands down. His theme is amazing and he is one of the most tragic characters in the series. Knowing that he unknowingly killed the person who had helped him is just sad, and his motive for trying to kill Regina, while not excusable, is understable. Losing the two people he was closest to, and him explaining that he couldn't "up and leave" (literally, too) before Bat had woken up was just sad. Also, while 2-3 isn't amazing like 2-4 (my favorite case) is, it's miles ahead of 2-1 (which objectively sucks) and 2-2 (which lasts for hours with an annoying and predictable culprit). Besides, the plot twist at the end with Edgeworth appearing sets the tone for the upcoming final case. In my opinion, Turnabout Big Top gets some undeserved hate.

T&T - Recipe for Turnabout:

3-3 is really good, no questions asked. The mere fact that it's better than 3-2 (predictable culprit, forgettable victim...) is obvious to me. But it also features the return of Maggey, and the first (and only) appearance of amazingly comical characters like Furio Tigre and Victor Kudo (who both have amazing theme songs). The victim might be a little forgettable, but he at least gets some development, unlike Bullard in The Stolen Turnabout. Of course, Tigre is obvious as the killer, but he's meant to be this way, and the way you corner him is amazing. The reveal that Godot can't see red on white matters in 3-5, and the case is hilarious. Special mention of Viola Cadaverini, who's underrated by the fandom, in my opinion. 3-3 is probably the strongest third case in the Trilogy, and it is definitely not the worst case in T&T.

AJ - Turnabout Serenade:

Okay, this case sucks. I dislike it very much and I can't find anything that would redeem it. The victim is boring, Daryan is obvious, Valant isn't good enough, the mini-game is tedious, and the "Phoenix saves the day" thing is repetitive. However, 4-3's biggest flaw is the defendant, Machi Tobaye. Lamiroir is an enjoyable character, and the plot twist surrounding her eyesight isn't bad, but it doesn't make Machi good enough not to ruin the case. This case is the weak point of a great game, but fortunately, 4-4 more than makes up for it.

DD - Turnabout Academy:

Dual Destinies is my least favorite game in the main series, but it has some solid cases, 5-3 being one of them. The trio of Juniper, Robin, and Hugh is amazing (even if the twist around Robin was pretty obvious), the WAA trio works very well, and we even get a chance to see Klavier again (his objection clip sucks, though)! It is definitely a strong case, even if Means was a bit obvious, and while it doesn't hold up to the great ending of DD, I do believe that 5-3 is better than 5-1, 5-2, and maybe even 5-4.

SoJ - The Rite of Turnabout:

Maya's comeback makes this case good, albeit not great. It is better than 6-1 for sure (drags on too much for a tutorial case) and probably 6-4 and 6-6, but it pales compared to 6-2 and 6-5, of course. Nayhuta is the weak point of 6-3, but everything else about this case is pretty good! The "new" Maya is a right balance of her former self with some more maturity, Datz is funny, Beh'leeb Inmee was a really emotional character, and while I don't like Tahrust too much, the plot twist around his death was pretty cool. Also, this case also makes it clear why Phoenix did what he did in 6-5 when Inga blackmailed him: he can't lose Maya. It could have been better, but this case is solid, and definitely not part of a "curse" of any kind.

AAI - The Kidnapped Turnabout:

Unfortunately, AAI kinda sucks. The first three cases aren't that good, and while I1-3 is probably better than I1-1, I'll admit it's terrible. It's long, the Amanos sucks, Lauren Paups isn't that great, and if it wasn't for Kay, the case would probably be the worst in the series.

AAI2 - The Inherited Turnabout:

Is there anything bad to say about I2-3? I mean, you play as Gregory freaking Edgeworth, so what more do you want? Ah, yes, it also has DL-6 development, the exceptional Katherine Hall and Jeffrey Masters, plot twists, flashbacks done right (!), and while the villain isn't great, he is satisfying to catch, and he matters in I2-5. Honestly, this case would probably be enough to prove my whole argument.

DGS1 - The Adventure of the Runaway Room:

After a somewhat disappointing second case (in my opinion), DGS1-3 is really good! Megundal (I'll use the names from the fan translation, since I'm used to them and like them better) is quite the interesting character, and the Engarde-like plot twist surrounding him is amazing. His death in the final cutscene is also good and ties in nicely with the final case. Ryunosuke's first trial in England gives him cool development, and damn it, Barok van Zieks! His legslam, glass throw, and objection clip suffice to make him an amazing character, and there's more to him that just that. This case is better than DGS1-2, DGS1-1, and maybe even DGS1-4 if you don't consider its link to DGS2.

DGS2 - The Return of the Great Departed Soul:

While not as good as the two following cases in my opinion, this case is definitely above-average. Gina's comeback is just great, and her new mentor-protégé relationship with Gregson is nothing short of wholesome. Enoch Drebbler is one of the best culprits in the duology, and Courtney Sithe's character is very good, too. She gives a confident vibe that really serves the case. Benjamin Dobinbough (because his canon English name is one I refuse to acknowledge) is a great clueless defendant, and his relationship to Barok is quite nice! It definitely makes the case trickier! Rozaic has a really mysterious and enjoyable atmosphere surrounding her, and finding Herlock standing like statue at the wax museum was amusing. Of course, the best thing about this case is Asogi's return. It is handled well by the game that doesn't try to cover the obvious plot twist.. The final cutscene is just *smooch*. I also can't forget the Joint Reasoning with Herlock when looking for Enoch. Again, this case is definitely not part of a "curse" of any kind.

Overall thoughts:

I don't think the Third-Case Syndrome holds for Ace Attorney. Some third cases weren't good (4-3 and I1-3) but most are either good (1-3, 3-3, 5-3, DGS1-3) or excellent (I2-3 and DGS2-3). I know Turnabout Big Top traumatized most of the fandom, but I don't think it's that bad, and definitely not bad enough to start a curse revolving around third cases.

Danganronpa:

Trigger Happy Havoc:

Chapter Three of THH is... good enough. The pointless argument between Taka and Hifumi is annoying, to be sure, and Celeste did us a favor by getting rid of them. And her plan wasn't bad, either! It could have worked if Makoto and Kyoko had not been there. However, I do believe that this chapter is too boring before the first murder. The motive is also... meh. The plot twist oh Hifumi waking up and remembering Celeste's true name was enjoyable, though. 1-3 isn't amazing by any means, but I think it's better than 1-5 and 1-6, but it stands no chance against 1-2 and 1-4.

Goodbye Despair:

Well, this one sucks. I think it's the only DR chapter that literally has a plot hole. The "Despair Syndrome" motive is probably the worse in the series and this case pretty much ruined Mikan's character. Her execution is lame, Ibuki shouldn't have been a victim (seriously, why?), the culprit is obvious, and the timeframe to execute her plot doesn't work if you aren't Sonic the Hedgehog. Also... that attempt at fanservice was cringe, and it almost killed Hajime. The only thing that redeems this chapter a bit is the name "Titty Typhoon" but that's it. This one definitely alimented the "curse," and rightfully so. In-between two great cases, 2-3 doesn't make a good impression.

Killing Harmony:

3-3 is a chapter I have mixed feelings about. On the one hand, the atmosphere was excellent and fitting of the killer, and Kokichi's prank had us all freak out at first. I don't like neither Angie nor Kiyo (sorry, Kiyo fans), but somehow, it didn't make the chapter worse for me. On the other hand, the Necronomicon motive sucks almost as much as the motive in 2-3. It could have worked in DR2 considering the Killing Game happened virtually, but in V3, the motive was just an outright lie from Monokuma, so it doesn't work. Also, Kiyo was a bit too obvious: the music, the theme, his sudden importance in the plot, the séance... it was just a bit too much not to make him suspicious. Finally, this chapter's major flaw, which I can sum up in one word: sister. That, was traumatizing. Without even going in details, everything that happened after Kiyo's "sister" appeared during the Class Trial ruined it. I'm also curious to know if the writers at Spike Chunsoft are mentally stable, considering Kiyo's relationship with his sister and the fact that they ship Monotaro and his sister Monophanie in the next case. It's not a bad chapter at all, but it has its flaws, unfortunately.

Overall thoughts:

While I wouldn't call it a "curse," it's true that third cases in Danganronpa aren't amazing, especially in DR2. You'll also notice that I didn't mention UDG simply because it's too different a game to be compared to THH, DR2, and V3. If we ever get another Killing Game, I hope that the third chapter will be better, because we've yet to have an awesome Chapter Three so far.

Final thoughts:

I don't believe there are curses revolving around third cases/chapters, neither in Ace Attorney, nor in Danganronpa. However, it's true that in the case of Danganronpa, on average, third cases are the weakest, while Chapters Four and Five are almost always great. Third cases in Ace Attorney definitely get an unfair treatement, though.

Thanks for reading, and I'm open to discussing all of this if you disagree!

89 for Dhurkedatz. It can be romantic or platonic, whatever you like, I just miss them. Thanks in advance

You're welcome. You got good taste, anon.

89. “We can look out for each other.”

A couple notes: burn scars are mentioned, mild angst, and massive AA6 spoilers.

I'm still taking some writing drabble requests based on the 101 ways to say I love you. You can request them here.

Dhurke's burns still linger on his skin, clenching his teeth. The pain is strong, but the absolute need to keep a straight face trumps any other need right now. He has to be strong for his child, who's sleeping soundly next to him. Not to mention he also needs to do it for the newborn, a little boy with a few burn marks of his own on his face.

Nahyuta was lucky to get out of harm's way. Unfortunately, Apollo was too young to move away. His cries is what alerted Dhurke in the first place that Jove hadn't made it, and for all the terrible things that happened, at least this small boy is safe.

He applies some ointiment to Apollo's face and arms. After examining him throughly, Dhurke determines he should be alright, but he'll keep an eye on him. The boy cries at the sudden texture applied to his skin, squirming as Dhurke holds him closer to soothe him.

"I can't thank you enough, Datz." Dhurke looks over to the driver of the vechile the duo were able to steal in their desperate escape, who is currently snacking on an apple.

"No worries, pal! I'm just glad ya are okay. Well...as well as it coulda gone, anyway." Datz's nods with a solemn respect before raising his head, "What'cha gonna do 'bout that baby, anyway? Do I need to call some buddies to get him o'er the border?"

"No, thank you. If all goes according to plan, I'll raise him as my own." Dhurke nods, looking down at the sleeping baby. "He has no other family to go to."

"Well, hey." Datz nods, looking away, "Don'tcha try to take all responsibility. Raisin' two kids is hard. I'm here for ya. We can look out for each other, okay?"

Dhurke nods at his friend's gesture, thanking him again as Nahyuta stirs, trying to get closer. "Thank you."

It's mostly silent after that, but Datz keeps looking at Dhurke as if he's precious treasure. It would be years before Dhurke realized that promise was the first time Datz tried to communicate that he loved him.

By the time he realized, it was far too late.
