Book Review: Perfect Shot by Steve Urszenyi

I received an ARC via NetGalley from the publisher in exchange for honest feedback.

A strong and promising debut introduces Special Agent Alex Martel- FBI special agent, former sniper, and Army combat medic– as as a routine raid and an unexpected email set her on the path of a deeply complex plot involving a stolen nuclear weapon, a murdered intelligence officer, and a conspiracy spanning continents. The technical details were good, and I was quite impressed reading them; there…

Wanna hear a really sweet solangelo headcanon?

So, I have a Will headcanon that he’s an adventure time, steven universe, gravity falls, svtfoe, infinity train, the owl house, and basically cartoon fandom bisexual nerd (along with sci fi and detective/ mystery thriller but tht’s besides the point).

One of his first songs he learned on ukulele and guitar are songs from adventure time and steven universe but his fav to play when he’s stressed or “stimming” is the Island Song (or come along with me/ adventure time end credits).

Before they started dating, Nico one day was having a panic/ anxiety attack or was just overstimulated and stressed and spotted Will under a secluded tree or in the strawberry fields (idk) playing the Island Song. He was listening from afar and surprisingly, he felt calmer and at ease.

Now whenever Nico has a nightmare or is overstimulated, Will would sing or hum the Island Song. Sometimes Nico would get lulled to sleep or would quietly sing along with him.

Bonus ramble: Also, Island Song is the easiest song to learn on ukulele and guitar, tht’s why imo, it’s a good “stimming song” and the lyrics is really sweet in this scenario too 😭 like it’s such a simple song yet has a lot of depth to it too, okay I’m done rambling.

#solangelo #will solace #nico di angelo #percy jackon and the olympians #this maybe me projecting onto will but fr tho #he’d love adventure time and steven universe #even gravity falls #bc he’s into true crime podcasts and we dont talk abt it much but he’d totally be into detective/ mystery thriller genres too #not just sci fi #also adventure time and steven universe fits his vibe #especially their songs #i literally have outlined a will solace character study fic based on do it for him

What did you think of Luffy offering to share his food with Zoro?

RAHHHHH ANON

monkey d. “heroes share their meat and i don’t want to share my meat!” luffy offering to share his lunch with zoro. might as well have made an open declaration right in front of the crew. not giving him special treatment but also giving him special treatment. zoro went from “this is so stupid and i refuse to go” to “well i guess i have no choice” in a split second, which is very on par for them. harken back to day one. luffy said “i’ll share my food with you” and zoro immediately teleported to his side. besides, what kind of an adventure is it if zoro isn’t with him?

#anonymous #asks #kate watches op #thriller bark #zolu #i’m not saying the zolu is zolu-ing #but i AM speaking incomprehensible words #(can also be read many ways and i first read it as luffy declaring it isn’t a proper adventure if zoro’s not with him!)

Fucking run

Spider opens the door to the cell with the chair and runs for it’s.

Spider had been trying for hours to escape, nothing was working for him. An idea popped into spiders head, he grabbed the chair. He put one of the chair legs in the holes of the door, spider pushed. The door opened a tiny, this was enough to give Spider adrenaline. Spider pried the door open just enough to get through, what was he going to do now?

Spider heard some quick footsteps, in response Spider’s adrenaline kicked in again. Spider ran, he ran as fast as he could. The feeling of running this fast on the metal floor felt weird, it was different than running on the forest floor. The cold aircon burning his face and throat. But spider continued running.

Red lights started to flash, then a deafening alarm went off. Spider fell to the floor scraping his knees, but spider got up and started running again. Spider covered his ears to try silence the alarm, but it wasn’t working so he gave up that idea and just focused on running.

Spider had no clue were he was going, for all he knew he was going deeper into this awful lab. The lights stopped flashing red but to Spiders disappointment the alarm continued. Bruises began appearing on spiders elbows and knees, but he kept running.

Finally a sign that gave spider hope ‘construction’. From his perspective construction only happens outside. As spider turned the corner, he was surprised by a line of two soldiers and three recoms. How was he gonna out run them, Spider continued running straight for them hoping they would move.

Spider caught sight behind them of a window and on the other side of it freedom. Spider continued running straight for them, one of the recoms braced for impact to catch him. Spider slid right under him, just like he saw in the movies Norm watched all the time.

Spider continued running straight for the window. The soldiers and recoms stood there in disbelief, but it wasn’t long before they began chasing after him. It crossed spiders how was he gonna get through the window? He was now officially risking his life on all the action movies he had watched. He picked up a chair, while running. As he neared the window he threw the chair as hard as he could, it left a big crack.

Without thinking or time to stop Spider threw himself into the window, with a sigh of relief it shattered. As spider flung through the window, and glass flew everywhere cutting his skin he began to think it was a bad idea. How was he gonna breathe? As soon as he hit the ground he groaned in pain, he was in so much pain.

Spider shot up holding his breath, he looked around and found an airlock about a metre away. Spider ran ignoring the shouts from the window. He reached the air lock, there was hundreds of masks hanging outside. With out stopping spider ripped one off the wall and secured it to his face.

The sound of spiders heart bumping in his ears was painful, as well as the constant alarm that felt as if it synchronised with his heart. His calf’s were on fire from all this running, his throat was burning from all his panting, his knees were stinging and there was a tickling warm trickle of blood down his legs, there was a stinging sensation around his hole body filled with cuts he knew there were some with glass still in some, his head was so dizzy. But Spider still kept running with tears down his cheeks he didn’t know when he had started crying but it made his face feel hot and sticky. ‘Eway help me’ Spider thought to himself.

Spider had been running for what felt like years. his body wasn’t letting him stop or slow down, no matter how tired he felt or how much pain he was in. The adrenaline was to much for spider. Spider heard cars starting over the construction, and the slight sound of helicopters. Spider had no clue were he was going or were the way out was, then he saw it. A tower full of stairs all the way up to the top of the wall, he turned heading straight for that direction.

Spider reached the stairs, he began running up them. It was taking to long so spider jumped up on the rails and started pulling himself up, the state of his body wasn’t helping. Spider made it to the top of the wall, he looked behind him cars all driving for his direction people starting to climb the stairs.

Spider began running along the thick concrete walls, ever 5 meters there was a thicker part of the wall. Spider looked over the edge it was like a triangle, Spider had ran out of options and time so without thinking he began sliding down. The friction burning his heals and butt.

Spider reached the ground, he looked out and the dead ocean of sand covered for miles he was just about to give up. But he hadn’t gone all this way just to give up. Spider began running again ignoring how hot the ground was on his feet and the heats waves, he ignored the sting as sweat and blood dripped into his cuts.

The green forest came closer and closer to spiders reach. Two cars drove straight past him then stopped ahead. Spider had been defeated but he wasn’t gonna not try!? He watched as six Avatars and around tree soldiers stepped out the car, this was gonna hurt.

Spider ran around the cars, but just as he thought he escaped a hot wired wrapped around his ankles. It gave Spider a shock as he plummeted to the ground gaining gravel rash across his whole body. He felt shock all through his body he couldn’t move or breathe.

Spider heaved he was so exhausted, and tired and his hole body was in shock. He was shaken back to reality, Quaritch’s big blue face right in spiders. Spider was scared at how angry Quaritch looked “Jesus what the fuck Is wrong with you kid!!!” Quaritch yelled spider probably wouldn’t of heard it if it wasn’t yelled right in his ear.

Spider looked around frantically hoping someone would help him, or even just give him the chance to escape once again. Then it hit Spider like a brick on how much pain he was in, Spider screamed as he felt as his hole body had just been set on fire. A worried face was placed on Quaritch, as Spider layed there screaming and crying.

Spider was untied and literally thrown in the back of the car, as if he wasn’t in enough pain already. the car ride back Spider was gaining and losing consciousness. How far had he ran if the car ride was still going, spider had stoped screaming and was just laying there silently crying.

The last thing Spider remembers was being pulled out of the car, and realising the awful alarm had stopped. He woke up in a hospital bed covered in bandages and band-aids. His muscles were aching and he was covered in bruises, the bottom on his feet had been lacerated and one hand was cuffed to the bed.

Quaritch walked in “Your awake!” he sarcastically laughed. “I wanna show you something” he said turning on a tv. It was footage of spider prying to door open then running, it was hours worth of footage. Quaritch fast forward to when spider fell letting out a chuckle, this was not funny.

He fast forward it the where spider slid under the recom. Spider looked closer and found out it was Lyle he slid under and grinned. They watched as spider threw the chair and jumped threw the window “ouch!” Quaritch hissed laughing. He fast forward it slowing down when it came to something interesting like grabbing it mask and stuff.

Quaritch slowed it at as it switched to a dash cam and slowed down right as spider hit the ground. Spider was embarrassed at the scream he let out and the hole situation. Then it stopped as spider was thrown it the car. “Nearly everyone in hells gates has this and probably people on earth. Your pretty famous, and fast. Basically out ran a car and twenty fully trained marines. But like everything you ran out of spark” Quaritch laughed sitting down in a chair in the corner of the room. He put the footage on repeat on full volume for spider. Spider ended up falling asleep again, dreaming of actually escaping and telling norm what he had done.

I hope you enjoyed this one shot :) and sorry iv been short on posting iv been really busy :/ but happy reading:) this is based off a dream I had so yes it’s a little unrealistic, but if you wanted to know spider was running for like 8 hrs straight :)

Blue Eye Samurai - Season 1 (2023) Review

Don't think I've ever seen so much human genitalia in animated form all in one go. Makes me wonder if the production team had a designated animator of genitals who literally just spent his time drawing penises for the show. If so, I hope it was Jonah Hill as he already proved in Superbad that he is the perfect artist for this subject.

Plot: Driven by a dream of revenge against those who made her an outcast in Edo-period Japan, a young warrior cuts a bloody path toward her destiny.

Netflix consistently hashes out so much content every week, that it is hard to keep up with any of it, as such many great projects get missed and are forever lost in the streamer's endless library void. Luckily Blue Eye Samurai didn't pass my scrolling and evidently has its fan base, as this is one of the quickest examples of the streaming giant announcing a season renewal after release. Yep, Blue Eye Samurai will be getting a second season which is amazing as this is a superb new series that if you haven't yet discovered then you are doing yourself a disservice and should amend that behaviour immediately and go watch it! Still need persuading? Alright, sit yourself down and allow me to gush about Blue Eye Samurai!...

It’s hard to overstate just how stunning Blue Eye Samurai is to look at. The series uses a mix of 2D and 3D animation styles to create landscapes and characters who seem only a few degrees removed from live-action, even as the form allows for combat on a scale that would cost several large fortunes to craft with flesh-and-blood actors. In fact, looking at the behind-the-scenes the team hired an actual martial arts choreographer to support in creating the combat sequences in real life with real people, and then the movements of those fights were transferred to animation and used in the final product. In one episode (seemingly inspired by the 1978 martial arts film Enter the Game of Death where Bruce Lee had to fight his way up to the tower to get to the last floor) the main samurai Mizu must defeat multiple bosses on each level of the season's big bad Fowler’s impregnable fortress home, and each separate battle is a work of art in itself. Honestly, the show just looks like a moving painting, with every frame absolutely jaw-dropping gorgeous. Even without dialogue or characterization, it would be completely engrossing.

Luckily, writers Michael Green and Amber Noizumi are as interested in the people at the center of these crazy fights as they are in the many improbable techniques Mizu uses against her opponents. Mizu is presented throughout as both supernatural and deeply human. She can handle any odds, and come back from every injury that would cripple or kill a normal person. But the series never loses sight of what a life wholly devoted to revenge has cost her, and the ways in which she has turned herself into every bit the monster that her countrymen believe her to be.

It is then also the exploration of how Mizu interacts with the other characters in this world. There's the disabled would-be apprentice Ringo (played warmly by Masi Oka), who has learned to navigate life despite his lumbering size and lack of hands. Mizu has no interest in a sidekick, but Ringo gradually wears her down, as if he’s a peaceful stream flowing against a rock over hundreds of years. There's also Taigen (Darren Barnett), a warrior chasing after Mizu to collect a debt of honour, yet due to this honour he ends up helping her as in his eyes only he has the right to kill her, no one else, so ends up attacking those that attempt to harm her. Brenda Song voices the princess Akemi, who is just as eager to escape the bonds of Edo society as Mizu is, but who uses very different methods to achieve that. We follow her journey through an intimate tour of the area brothels, which is where the aforementioned heaviness of nudity comes in. There is, in fact, a lot of naked flesh on display throughout the season. The series can be just as graphic in depicting sex as it is in violence, yet both avoid feeling gratuitous. And finally, there's Kenneth Branagh as this season's big bad Fowler, a despicable arms dealer who has no sense of morality or empathy and is willing to destroy anything standing in his path. He's a massive presence and seemingly the only one able to hold himself in a fight against Mizu, hence why Branagh's British snark yet heavy tone fits perfectly here.

The whole thing is an incredible, utterly badass example of how animation can be used to create worlds, characters, and adventure every bit as vivid as live-action if not more at times. Even though I would say there are a few areas of pacing issues, which withheld me from binging this season all in one go and instead had me taking regular break intervals throughout, this is still a stellar show and one that you can tell was created by a team of passionate filmmakers and artists. Blue Eye Samurai would never have had the impact it did had it been live-action - using animation as its storytelling medium elevated it to a masterpiece in my opinion. Kudos to everyone involved in such an amazing project and I can’t WAIT to see more!

Overall score: 8/10
