sleepover with the oc's (& the boys crash it 👀) pls 🖤
The Proverbial Punching Bag {OCs x Marvel Mens}
Summary: Immediately following the ending to At Least Not Alone, the gang has a sleepover.
The OC Fics (in order of appearance)
A/N: Thanks for never giving up on me writing about my OCs and helping me remember who did what @buckysmischief
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
“We’re still having a sleepover right? Steve didn’t ruin it, right?” Sasha whines.
“Yes, you’re all still welcome to stay, even Steve.” Sawyer adds before acknowledging her ex, “I forgive you for the way it ended. I don’t regret anything that happened after, so stop beating yourself up and let me be happy in my fucked up choices. Be happy with your own choices, that’s all we need.”
“I- knocking cuts Steve off.
“I’ll get it!” Jazzy jumps up, “I called in a reinforcement and he’s bringing more pizza!”
“YOU INVITED J?!”
The door swings open and like a flash Sawyer leaps over the couch and throws herself into a man. Pietro watches over his bottle of beer, as she’s twirled. The rest of the group watches in mostly confusion, save for Sam and Bucky who share a similar look of recognition.
“J? You guys know Joaquin?” Sam asks, attempting to piece something together.
“Know? I grew up with him!” Jazzy smiles, “He’s my favorite cousin.”
“I’m your only cousin.” Joaquin pouts, playfully jabbing her in the ribs.
“And therefore my undisputed favorite.”
“You know those two?” Sawyer throws a thumb over her shoulder towards Bucky and Sam, “I’m so sorry…”
“I’ve done a mission or two with Sam…Bucky, I see your sleeve is still intact today.” The man grunts in reply, not at all the Bucky that Sawyer was used to but rather reminiscent of his soldier days.
“Would it kill you to be nice to new people for 2 seconds?” Sasha unsurprisingly berates him, causing a blush to creep across Bucky’s cheeks.
“It actually might,” Sam smirks.
“Fuck off Sam.” Bucky gripes, causing the whole of the apartment to erupt in laughter.
“Wait…so you guys are like friends? I thought you hated each other.” Joaquin’s eyebrows knit together and he receives both looks of sympathy and some eyerolls.
“Frenemies.” Tali shrugs.
“No no. They love each other.” Monroe intercedes.
“They’re both boring. Can we move on to someone significantly cooler?” Jazzy asks.
“Thor?”
“Can we not bring my brother into this?” Loki groans.
“J, who are you texting? Sitting over there with a goofy ass grin on your face…” Sawyer turns her attention to Torres.
“Just the love of his lifeeee.” Sam teases.
“Her name is Wren. If you must know.” Joaquin says, eyes not moving from the screen, “She’s just a girl from Tinder.”
“...that he saved from a shitty date. Twice.” Sam adds, throwing pieces of popcorn at the man.
“Well I want to meet her.” Daisy pipes up, earning a round of ‘of course you dos’ from the group.
“No..no. Daisy’s right.” Sawyer agrees, “I’d like to meet her too.”
“This wouldn’t be the first time they shared feelings over something.” Scott chuckles.
“SHE THREW A POTATO AT HIM!” Loki and Tali both yell, much to Steve’s embarrassment.
“I think I’m missing something here.” Joaquin squints.
“It’s a lot to unpack.” Pietro shakes his head.
“I think you could write several movies with the amount of drama and hysterics in this friend group.” Sasha offers, “I would recommend running while you can.”
“It’s too late. He’s been introduced. He knows too much.” Tali smiles, looking less than friendly.
“Hey, miss witchy-woo, tone it down for like 5 seconds.” Scott interjects, “We’re making friends here.”
“This is the most fascinating night of my life…” Joaquin murmurs, “...and I’ve been curb stomped by a supersoldier.”
“BUCKY!” Sawyer’s jaw drops as she takes in her closest male friend.
“Woah. Woah. Woah…I did NOT.”
“Sorry…flag-smashers.” J attempts to hide his grin. “I don’t think I’d be here right now if Barnes did it…”
“I can’t believe you think I’d curb stomp someone, Sawyer.”
“Bucky…you killed the majority of my newsroom.” She defends herself, “All I’m saying is it could’ve happened.”
“He’s only known me for a few months.” Joaquin interjects.
“Have you seen, Mr. Grumpy-face over there?” Monroe challenges, “If stares could kill.”
“I told him about the staring thing…” Sasha sighs.
“We’ve all told him Sash.” Sam adds.
“Can we stop ganging up on me?”
“See how not fun it is to be the proverbial punching bag?” Daisy asks.
“CALLING YOU EVERY FLOWER OTHER THAN DAISY WAS FUNNY…YOU TOLD ME YOU LAUGHED.” Sawyer cries, “I thought we moved on.”
“As the proverbial punching bag, I’d have to agree that it’s Bucky’s turn.” Steve nods.
“I hate you.”
“That’s your best pal.” Joaquin states, “...read about it at the Smithsonian.”
“And sometimes I hate him…”
“Sometimes we all hate each other.” Jazzy chimes in, “makes sleepovers more interesting.”
“So what do you say, Torres, you in the group or what?” Bucky asks and Joaquin breaks into a slow smile.

Bangtan Weekly Report
Why did JK come back to Korea?? I seriously thought it was to send Yoongi off but we're still not there yet.
This trip for JK is supposedly associated with a fashion schedule. Seems like if he was on his way to the VMAs they'd be ramming his appearance down everyone's throat for clout.
Personally, I hope he does not appear on that farce of an award show but if he does he'll pomichidai or however you spell it.
Dazed and Jungfused. He let those nipples see daylight and hasn't looked back.
JK is single-handedly dragging us along in Chapter 2, force-feeding us some grown-ass man full bleed adult Bangtan with his cigarette-smoking, nipple-feuled photos.
You know Mr. OG with the nipples will need to step up his game now right?
Tae x Layover ... poor guy wondering why everyone was cursing him out during his listening party on Stationhead.
So I listened to Layover. Added it to my playlists. It's nice, jazzy, R&B. Those genres are not my usual vibe.
Of all the songs, I think Slow Dancing is the one I like best. They were right to choose that as the title track.
The MV is gorgeous, except for the weird images of Yeontan in the trees of the mountain. Those kinda creeped me out... a little hokey, lol.
I was surprised that the songs are heavy in English lyrics. I know Tae has memorized things in English for things like award shows and all, it never seemed like he was confident in speaking English so it surprises me there is so much English in these songs.
Perhaps this is why he had Jungkook record the guides so he could follow them to help with pronunciation.
I watched a few of his Layover promotion interviews. I've been waiting to see him let more of his personality out during this solo rollout.
Tae is very animated and expressive when he speaks. And this is where I say he would excel at acting. He mentioned wanting to play a villian and I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT!
The Weverse Magazine story and today's Suchwita episode were more enlightening to me than anything else so far and gave me more insight as to the differences between him and the others. He made me understand his personality better. He made me realize or remember how sentimental he is. They talked in-depth about several topics: 2018, Chapter 2, individual projects and best of all they talked about when they get back together as 7. It did make me tear up when he said when they get back together he would like them to go on a trip together.
Anyway...
Tae has been feeding us on Instagram daily along with Namjoon...
Happy 29th birthday Namjoon!
You are loved and admired. Thank you for normalizing fuzzy mole head Bangtan, but I'm still going to fall down in a weeping mess when I see Jimin's head like that.
RM just going about his business and showing Jimin some art. The Leeum Museum is within walking distance of their apartments at Nine One, not that I think they walked there, they probably went in Jimin's car since Joon still doesn't drive... just kidding... but who knows. I got behind a Porsche Panamera the other day and was thrilled. That's a much larger car than I originally thought it was.
[Pretty sure that's a drink Jimin's holding in his left hand. Maybe iced coffee.]
I want to think that some deep conversations happened while these two were contemplating art. How can deep conversations NOT happen when you are hanging around Joon?
And Hobi and Jin still making their presence known on Weverse and IG. We are on the downslide for Jin. I can't wait for him to be back.
I think, not 100% sure, but I think after Korean men are discharged from the military they are automatically put in reserves. I didn't know that until the other day. So we may think they are scott-free when they are discharged but not really. Phooey.
💜💜💜
Just a quick thing for insight: Miley Cyrus said touring is hard for her because she felt her "ego" gets "overused" and that "it's hard to turn it off." She said "I think when you're training your ego every single night to be active, that's the hardest switch, for me, to turn off." Having every day the relationship between her and other humans to be basically 'subject' and 'observer' isn't healthy for her because it erases her humanity and her connection.
Just food for thought...
#i thought jimin was skinny#have you seen tae?#95z are beanpoles#chapter 2 isn't about taking off shirts?#then what's it about tae?#someone's bound to be the first to do a chapter 2 full frontal#no i mean front chest get your mind out of the gutter#and then we know what's next#bangtan weekly report

If a Hunter x Hunter request is okey with you, can i request lee!kurapika and ler!leorio?
Not gonna lie- I had way too much fun writing this one kjarjkearaerja I've gotcha covered, anon!
Songs featured: Chains- Nick Jonas, You Are The Reason- Calum Scott
Cloud 9 (Taglist)
@thatbigbisexual29, @duckymcdoorknob, @baby-tickles2022 @cupcake-spice13
“You’ve got me in chains~ You got me in chains for your love~” Leorio’s voice was loud and obnoxious. His singing was worse. “But I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love.”
Kurapika hid his face behind his mug, eyes watering with restraint as he watched Leorio dance. A broom in hand and massive headphones on his ears, the doctor wasn’t aware of the blonde’s arrival. Kurapika was pretty sure he wasn’t aware of anything right now- too lost in his mental concert.
“Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me-” Leorio tossed the broom as he “broke it down”, busting out all his best dance moves. This consisted of double stanky legs, an old man shimmy, and some sort of attempt to twerk that looked more like a cat puking up a hairball.
Kurapika nearly choked on his coffee, hand shooting up over his mouth. The squeak he let out must have been heard; Leorio twisted around so fast his headphones nearly went flying. The absolute shock on his face only made Kurapika laugh harder, a snort escaping his lips as he stumbled over to the counter. “Whahahaht the hell was tahhahaht?” He cried, the sound more a whimper than anything.
“Wha-How long were you there-” Leorio stammered, face red. His initial shock faded into a warm expression as he watched Kurapika snort again; shoulders shaking and cheeks pink with laughter. “Did you see my butt?”
Kurapika couldn’t speak, head against the counter as he let out a weak wheeze. “Oh my gohohod. L-Leeheho, you’re tooohoho much.” He felt hands brush his waist, gently guiding him so he was facing his boyfriend properly. “What was that?”
“My summoning dance. Must have worked if I brought you out here.” Leorio grinned, leaning in so their foreheads were pressed together. “Did I look cool?”
“Not at all.” Kurapika snorted, giggling at the mock offense on Leorio’s face. “You looked like your butt got set on fire and you were trying to put it out.”
“Oh, you know what? Come here!” He pulled Kurapika closer, fingers finding his waist and digging in. “You think you’re so funny, huh? Alright- I’ll give you something to laugh about!”
“No! Nohohohoho, Lehheheheorihihihiho! Pleheahhahahse!” The blonde yelped, shoving at his chest weakly. “Dhoohohohn’t, Ihihihm tihihihicklish!”
“Oh are you now?” Leorio wasted no time seeking out tickle spots, creeping his fingers up and down the smaller man’s ribs. Occasionally he brought his hands in to tickle his belly or further back towards his spine. “Admit it- you love my dancing.”
“Thahahhahat wahahahhasn’t dahhahhahacning!” Kurapika giggled out, trying to catch the hands stubbornly pinching along his sides. With his back against the counter and Leorio directly in his space, there was little chance to escape. “Iihihihihihf tahahhahahat was dahhahahahncing, thehehehhen I’ihiihihihihm a kihihhihiihng!”
“Oi, you little- you’re just asking for it now!” Leorio grinned, pulling his boyfriend into his chest and guiding him towards the middle of the room, his fingers still lightly tracing his ribs. “So you think you know how to dance? Show me your moves. Dance with me!”
“Yohoohohur suuhuhuhuch a jehehheherk! Ahehehahahhaha!” Kurapika buried his face into the taller man’s shoulder, cheeks red with mirth and smile wobbly. “Whahhahat abohoohoohohut muhuhuhuhusic?”
“Don’t need it- the sound of that cute giggle of yours is all the music I need.” The good doctor winked, resting his chin on Kurapika’s head as he swayed them, their moves somewhat shaky with Kurapika’s squirming. “Whatcha in the mood for? Something jazzy? Funk? Or do you want something soothing and sweet?”
“I whhahahahant you to stahhahahap you ahahhahahahss!” Kurapika felt lightheaded with mirth. “Fihiihihihne, you're a gohohoohohohood dahhahahhahancer! Now stahhhahhap ihiihihit!”
“See? I knew you’d think so.” Finally, the taller man eased his tickles, trading scribbling fingers for soothing pats. Kurapika slumped into his chest, sucking down greedy breaths as he tried to glare up at his boyfriend. “Yohohohur teheheherrible…Leehheheorio.”
“Eh, you love me.” He winked, earning a swat to the chest. “Will you still dance with me? No tickling this time.”
Kurapika leaned back to properly glare now, but the look dropped to something kind as he reached into Leorio’s pocket, plucking out his phone. Without a word, he pulled up a song, letting it play between them.
~There goes my heart beating, and you are the reason. I’m losing my sleep, please come back home.~
“I’d be honored to dance with you, you big dork.” Kurapika smiled up at him, settling back into Leorio’s arms as hands returned to his waist, steadying him as they swayed.
“I’ll climb every mountain, and swim every ocean. Just to be with you, and fix what I’ve broken.” When Leorio sang this time, it was sweet and warm. Kurapika could listen to it all day.
“Oh cause I need you to see,” Leorio pressed a soft kiss into his forehead. “That you are the reason.”
I hope this was good!
#hunter x hunter#kurapika kurta#leorio paladiknight#leopika#tickle#tickle fic#fluff#tickles turned dancing#leorio would have the best dance moves ever#even if they're lowkey dorky#they are in love your honor

THEN GOD
MADE THEM BLUE
© Artist the Author 2022
SYNOPSIS
This series was inspired by GOD HIMSELF , my personal life , my own spiritual experience , and journey of self. The people , places , and events that occur are loosely based from things I have witnessed or partook in; or are inspired by the lives of those whom surround me in which I love dearly. I wrote this series to have conversations about those uncomfortable and controversial topics , in hopes of bringing darkness to the light so that people can heal their hidden traumas. I’d kindly advise you NOT to steal any of my work as it is protected legally binding underneath Copyright Law with THE ARTIVERSE PRODUCTIONS and Wattpad Corp. — Artist the Author
GENRE : URBAN DRAMA / FICTION
LEADS : DAVE EAST X SHANNON THORNTON
SETTING : MACABRE , GEORGIA (fictional city in the belly of ATL)
“YOU DROVE ME AWAY and then they TOOK ME , only GOD can save me now.”
THEN GOD
MADE THEM BLUE
Has anyone ever heard of the saying ,
‘FATE HAS A FUNNY WAY OF WORKING ITS SELF OUT?’
On the dreary morning of October 14th , 1999 , sixteen year old Prodigy of The Arts , Goapele Scott was officially declared missing fourty-eighty hours after she was nowhere to be found within her self acclaimed hometown of Macabre , Georgia. Sources say that she was last spotted in a heated disagreement with longtime family friend Georgia State University's Star Basketball Player seventeen year old Xodus Casanova.
The two not only knew each other very well , but also allegedly concocted a plan to run away together which led authorities to believe that the Elite Division I Power Forward had involvement in Goapele's disappearance-however , that could not be any further from the case. Twenty long years , never ending pain , severe strife , and many tears later she mysteriously returns opening Pandora's box.
Two worlds collide after demons from their pasts force them both into a whirlwind of mayhem. Goapele and Xodus were two traumatized souls , but by the power of truth , God made them BLUE.
The question is , WILL THEY SURVIVE LONG ENOUGH TO WATCH IT COME INTO FRUITION ?

VISUAL AESTHETICS & CLOSING REMARKS | CINEMATOGRAPHY & AUTHOR’S NOTE
Hello my favorite heauxs!—and to those of you who don’t already know me I hope you’re enjoying your experience in the Artiverse. I want to start off by saying that my name is Artist Oriental , and I’m just an anomalous child of The Most High here baring gifts and fruits to give to the collective. For the past decade and a half I have been perfecting the craft of storytelling , and I’m at a point in my practice where I’m focused on broadening my horizons and expanding the audience I’ve been blessed to entertain and edify. From filling up notebooks all day long in class to hundreds and thousands of reads on Wattpad , my love for the art of literacy has never faded. Throughout the years I’ve been a breathing witness to the evolution of Artist as a person , creator , and soul—and may I say she’s come a mighty long way. As I grow older and enter my quarter century milestone , I find more and more that my work is often a reflection of my peculiar perception with the perfect blend of my eccentric imagination. With that being said; GOD WILL BE PRESENT IN ALL OF ARTIST THE AUTHOR’S CONTENT. I will not denounce the reality that I know to be true , experience , and choose to express. If that is unsettling for you my world may not be tailored to your liking , therefore feel free to roam at YOUR OWN DISCRETION. You can expect that the majority of work coming from me is more than likely to have some sort of spiritual aspect in it. There will also be lots of poetic vibes and a great deal of strong adult themes that usually hold HEAVY CONTROVERSY. At times my writing can get crude and dark , I tend to hound in on the gruesome details because I want readers to feel every raw emotion , but don’t be alarmed you’ll always be forewarned. Within The World of Artist have the opportunity to find all types of experiences from different genres like Urban Fiction all the way to Sci-Fi , so it’ll be hard not to get immersed. I chose this series as my debut piece because of how much it means to me at a soul level , and it further exhibits the growth I’ve had since deciding to master the element of literature. It’s also in hindsight my first ever official screenwriting piece which makes me all the more excited as I am intimated. Please take your time trekking through the universe I’ve created , and know that when you’re here things normally are vague and obscure at a first glance; sometimes it may feel a bit riddling to latch onto—but I promise you all there is a method to my madman ways. I’m gonna finish off with saying a big thank you to GOD for invoking divine favor upon everything that I am , Nothing would exist to be if it weren’t for my Guide and I’m standing under that irrefutable truth. All praise goes to The Most High , forever and ever. Remember that everything you need or desire is already within you; Create the World that’s Yours. Until next time my little Jezebels , be the influence not the influenced. — Artist the Author

Character Mixes 3/?: Hit (With a Little Fritters and Such)
SIDE A: HIT
The cold and elusive assassin, in a dusky mood. There is a soul underneath, you just need to allow yourself to find it.
Oh Ana - Mother Mother
Killer Queen - Queen
Little Dark Age - MGMT
First Love / Late Spring - Mitski
After Dark - Mr. Kitty
Baby Hotline - Jack Stauber
Liquid Smooth (Audiotree version) - Mitski
Sweater Weather - The Neighbourhood
(A/N: A dark bitter chocolate with a candy soft caramel center... or sometimes the caramel's the one hiding the dark chocolate. Hit's vibe playlist is just this balance where you don't want to make it too light but at the same time you want to have a little fun with it. Didn't really add it here but I feel like he would be into some jazzy stuff too considering his FighterZ theme.)
SIDE B: FRIT
A space pirate on the lam expects to quake in his boots at the thought of the assassin carrying his bounty... never thought it'd turn into a welcome feeling.
Love Dramatic - Masayuki Suzuki
Daddy Daddy Do - Masayuki Suzuki
Stalker's Tango - Autoheart
Killshot - Magdalena Bay
Gimme Gimme Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) - ABBA
Dead Girl Walking - Heathers soundtrack (Barrett Wilbert Weed)
(A/N: Once again, not abandoning Frabba, I can do both ships in different fic contexts. Felt they needed a vibey too. Kaguya-sama Love is War openings are just a vibe for them and I don't know why. For those unaware, "Dead Girl Walking" is a bit of a... spicy pick, but you can't tell me I'm wrong that it works and Frost absolutely would do that.)
BONUS TRACKS:
Just some sweet stuffs in here- perhaps a bit too soft for the serious assassin, but some fluffies to go with Shattered Ice.
Over the Moon - Penelope Scott
Washing Machine Heart - Mitski
Me and My Husband - Mitski
Line Without a Hook - Ricky Montgomery feat. mxmtoon
(A/N: These were mainly to go with Hit's ship with Frigid in Shattered Ice. They're kind of more Frigid prominent at points. "Over the Moon" really hits well after Chapter 10. "Line Without a Hook" was on this list before, but I found the mxmtoon version as I was grabbing links and felt it worked even better. Also, do with the fact that "Me and My Husband" is on here what you will~)
Bonus Note: [x]
#dragon ball#dragon ball super#music#character playlists#hit#hit the assassin#dbs hit#frost#dbs frost#frit#canon x oc#open to additions#asks are always open :)#Also I cannot get over the heckin FREEFORM JAZZ he got for a FighterZ theme love that for him

Hi guys, this is my first game review of 8unnycup64min9,
Okay, finally! The game is now completely done. It's about time that game is moment you've waiting for.
Today we talk about this new mobile game the sequels of gogo Happy&Smile, based of the flash game of Newgrounds.
Now let's review of the NEW Happy&Smile mobile game,
Happy&Smile: Super Battles -TCG Deck Building Auto Battler Action Game-
(해피앤스마일: 슈퍼 배틀즈 -TCG 덱빌딩 오토 배틀러 액션 게임-)
"Happy&Smile: Super Battles" (previously title a.k.a. "Happy&Smile: City of Fighting") is a 2D TCG (trading card game) deck builder stradegy/top-down/side-scrolling/roguelike/beat 'em up arcade action game of next new Happy&Smile game, created by Korean indie game developer "Happy Rabbit Show".
Since begin in 2006, in Newgrounds, the flash game called "gogo Happy&Smile" is an 2D side-scroller flash game, which is inspirations of SNK's Metal Slug and The Behemoth's Alien Hominid (flash game version and console version).
As "Happy&Smile: City of Fighting", they been selected won of Open Play Day 2014, Tokyo Game Show 2015, Busan Indie Connect 2015, and more. And once finally retitle as "Happy&Smile: Super Battles", they been selected won of Google Play Indie Game Festival 2022 TOP 10, which is now available in Korea at Google Play was released on August for pre-registration game.
The iOS version is focusing to release too longer coming soon.
Happy&Smile: Super Battles is inspiration games of TGC games like Clash Royale, role-playing games like Kingdom Hearts: Union x (cross), side-scroller/beat 'em up arcade games like Double Dragon, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game, Konami 80's and 90's games, Popslinger, and top-down/roguelike games such as Nuclear Throne, Enter the Gungeon, Blazing Beaks, Hotline Miami, etc..
In the game intro, the animation opening intro feels like 90's retro anime/Saturday morning cartoon shows. The animation retro-stylish like RDR (Ram Daram), PopSlinger (indie top-down shooting scrolling game), or any retro cartoons/ other indie games, until after the game starts.
Fight alongside your friends as you gradually build up your deck with cards and medals!
An action arcade strategy game that combines an action arcade game and a card deck building auto battler system to build a deck with cards and medals.
The game featuring is a combination of an action arcade game and a card deck building auto battler system.
- A very creative combination of side-scrolling action + TCG deck building + auto battler
- It is easy to operate, and the side-scrolling action and TCG method are familiar to the public.
Various characters designed in "cartoon style"
-Characters organized by type, implementing various abilities according to type
A game that combines card collection system and medal reward due to level up that stimulates "collection desire"
- Composed of medals and card collection elements that children love
- Can be linked with off-product smart toy products (NFC game medals)
Gameplay:
The gameplay of Super Battles is so very great and freshly for gesture game touchscreen like slide or swipe the screen and tapping the screen, and holding the mobile device like a game controller, it feels like a arcade. Except the block tap when the enemy will hit you before too late fast. The game features to draw a cards like Clash Royale and other card games and then attack vicious waves of enemies and bosses to increase more blue coins to level up and pick one skills and attacks medals, the MORE gets stronger to defeat all types of enemies.
Music and Sounds:
The music composed by MOTIFSOUND, the soundtracks are fascinating and feels very good jazzy, outstanding metal rock, and types of music. The game sound effects are very fun and enjoyable like retro 8-bit or 16-bit games and other sounds.
Graphics and Arts:
The game graphic sprites are SO VERY EXTREMELY EXCELLENT feels like gogo Happy&Smile flavors including bunch of characters and objects like cartoon styles and the animation intro like the 90's cartoon shows. The artworks are very massive cute and adorable (but even little bit violences) and the backgrounds are too awesome too.
Problems or not Problems:
The big problems are the bug fix including like gun shooting, player can't move while gun keeps shooting, no PvP, no events, how to block enemies, card gauge meter not been fulled, and anything of a lot of bugs to fixing too hard.
Okay, Happy&Smile: Super Battle is very good mobile game for me, not bad game (don't ask). Until the game is coming soon or next year for more to see. So I'm gonna giving 9 out of 10 of that game I never played.
Ratings:
9/10
★★★★★★★★★★
Download the app for FREE at Google Play (not any at countries, South Korea country only).
Or you can play the original browser game here as you can!
That's it for now. Stay tuned for more game reviews and see you bloody next year. ;)
Thank you indie game developer!
감사합니다..
Plus, here's the game trailer.

Kamen Rider Thunderbirds Chapter 3 (Bit 5 End)
Prologue, Bit 1, Bit 2 Updated, Bit 3, Bit 4
Finaaaly! I finished Chapter 3! :D
Big thank you for @janetm74 for the beta read, thank you @myladykayo for helping me through the story. Tagging @willow-salix, @katblu42, @gumnut-logic and @dreamycloud)
So let’s end this chapter, right? :)
-0-0-0-
“So you are saying that you’ve been attacked by some unknown monsters?” Jeff asked, his fingers gripping the paper. The bandaged up boys nodded.
“Yeah. And we believed it was a set up." Virgil pointed out.
"It seemed like deliberate sabotage by those… things, so we came in and fell into their trap." Scott theorized. He continued explaining: in fact, the way the fires started was suspicious, the flames appeared in random parts of the building, according to the recent investigations. And according to the testimonies of the rescuees who were trapped underground, the humanoid fire-monsters appeared out of nowhere and they are the ones who started the whole fires, and then… they were simply waiting. The field commander finished that the poor fellas acted as bait for the monsters to finish him and his brothers off.
"Long story short: they were after our heads apparently." Gordon concluded.
Their father had a look of extreme concern. To think those threats with impossible yet fantastic power to bring down a building were after his sons was very alarming and pose a threat to their lives and security. Here he thought that time where they had to save the world from a mind-controlling alien sphere was a close call!
"Thank heavens the Kamen Riders came and saved us!" Alan chirped, his ocean eyes sparkled like stars with memories.
"Yes. You guys are very lucky. And those rescuees as well." Agreed Jeff, "However, we don’t know if we could trust those bug-eyed warriors.”
“But dad! They saved us!” Argued the youngster, “They saved us from these creatures! I am pretty sure they are our allies! Friends even!”
"Alan! We don't even know who they are!" Pointed out Gordon.
The young blonde crossed his arms and gave the most dramatic pout. Jeff sighed, gently shaking his head with a slight sympathetic smile, “They may be on our side now, but we still don’t know what their intentions are. Especially when they got those… other-worldly powers. So take their alliance with caution.” he said sternly.
The brothers nodded in agreement, including Alan who simply cocked his head to the side. They did tell John about the whole thing, in which the middle brother had mixed feelings. Concerned, relieved and interested. But mostly worried.
After the debrief, the atmosphere was a lingering silent worry.
“Hey kiddo, don’t be upset.” Gordon smiled optimistically.
“You sure?” Huffed his youngest brother.
“Yeah. As much as I am suspicious about them, I am also curious.” his innocent smile turned into a cheeky smirk.
Alan’s grumpy face slowly transformed into that of an excited gremlin that the redhead knew and loved, “Alright! How about we go talk to Brains? See what he thinks of this rescue.”
Gordon grinned, “Right behind ya, Sprout!”
And soon enough, the terrible two vanished through the door of the lounge, their excited feet echoed through the halls.
“What do you think of the Kamen Riders, Scott?” asked Virgil, placing a gentle hand on his older brother’s shoulder.
Scott shrugged, “I don’t know.” He was mostly worried about those monsters. Those… things. What are they after? Why do they want International Rescue dead? Of course it was only one time, but what if they do it again? He was beginning to feel dread. Being possessed by an alien was bad enough, but almost getting burned alive by monstrous animal-headed gladiators with powers to control fire was out of the question!
“You know, I do have a hunch that our bug-eyed acquaintances are on our side.” admitted Virgil, “But, I also have a feeling that we’ll meet them again, considering the circumstances.”
Scott looked back at his brother. Sky blue meets earthly brown. There was a silent conversation. An understanding. And then a nod from the eldest brother. They sat there in compassionate silence.
The quiet must’ve been killing his brother, because all of the sudden the mechanic asked, “Say, would you like to play the piano again?”
“Why’s that?” Scott raised a brow.
“My fingers are sore from fixing the Mole in a rush back there.” Virgil smiled with a little embarrassment, as he revealed his bandaged hands.
Scott gently tapped his brother’s shoulder with a chuckle. He got up from the couch and walked over to Virgil’s beloved white piano. He sat on the stool once more, opened the lid and stretched his fingers, “What should I play?”
“Anything, I don’t mind.” His musical brother shrugged, standing beside him.
As Scott thought which song to play, his mind drifted back to the moment when he looked into the eyes of the golden Rider. It seemed to him that there was something warm behind those bug-eyes… something human. Scott wondered if there's a sensitive soul behind that mask.
Maybe it was just in his mind, maybe it was not true, but it made him relax. Pressing the keys, he began playing a familiar, jazzy beat as he remembered that moment. After a few repeats of the rhyme, he went to the main part of the song.
“Ah, my favorite! Take Five!" Jeff exclaimed, "Just like you guys.” he chuckled.
Scott smiled at his father as a response. There were some remnants of his stress, but it didn't bother him as much as he was in the morning. Jeff gave him a relieved nod before continuing doing paperwork, quietly humming and tapping his foot to the beat. Virgil smiled widely at his brother before humming as well and snapping his fingers along with the melody of the immortal piece of Paul Desmond.
Scott jumped into improvising like he was here to woo the girls at a party. As he was playing, he thought back of their victory. And his tension melted away. Outside the villa, the soothing music echoed through the beautiful nature of the island and into the night sky.
-0-0-0-
The moon shone in the night sky and the cold was a constant companion. The sounds of distant cars driving through the streets could be heard from the top of the skyscrapers. On one of them stood four figures, taking their time enjoying the view from above.
The Kamen Riders were resting after the heated fight. Gills was leaning on a wall next to the entrance, between his legs lay his loyal dog. G3-X was finishing writing a report of the fight on his custom laptop. Kuuga was laying on top of the entrance, admiring the stars. And Agito was standing near the railing, staring into the lights of the city.
"Oi, Agito!" called Kuuga all of a sudden. The golden Rider turned to his best friend.
"Nando(What is it)?" asked Agito.
"Why wouldn’t you come up here and watch the stars?” suggested the red Rider, "It's beautiful up there."
"How can you see stars from here?" objected G3-X, "Ya can't see Shiitake with all those slagging city lights!"
"They can see them through their visors," scoffed Gills, making the robocop Rider whistle a sound of realization before turning back to his computer.
Raider looked up and tilted his head as if trying to see them, but after a few moments he gave up as he put his canine head back to the ground.
Agito had taken a moment to stare at the city, then moved towards the entrance, climbed and sat next to Kuuga.
"Not too cold buddy?” the red Rider asked, only to receive a shake of the head from his golden companion. The two took a moment to appreciate the stars in the cold night sky. Few stars faintly glowed in the dark sky.
"Man, can't believe we just met with International Rescue in person!" excitedly said Kuuga, "I gotta say, they are quite tough guys, ne? Especially Noodle, he looks quite young!"
"Noodle?" asked the golden rider in confusion.
"The blond kid! The one I saved from falling into a ravine and returned the gun to?" Kuuga sensed Agito raising an eyebrow that cannot be seen from the cover of his mask. "We should give them nicknames. To… you know, to know who's who we're talking about?" He explained, shrugging.
A sparkle of mirth could be faintly seen behind the faceted eyes of his friend, a warm smile could be felt radiating from his breath. "Sure...But why the blond kid 'Noodle'?"
"Because his blonde hair reminded me of noodles. And to be honest, 'Noodle' sounds kawaii~! Don’t you think he looks kawaii, ne?” A big grin was radiating from behind the mask of the red Rider. Agito laughed wholeheartedly. Kuuga continued, "The auburn hair guy; I think we'll call him 'Kuma'! He looks so serious, strong and tough, like a bear! Remind me of someone…"
The golden Rider laughed again as he nodded. "So um… shall we call the leader 'Sky Eyes'?"
Kuuga rubbed his silver chin for a bit, "Hmm…the one who pilots that big-hyper-speedy-rocket-jet thingy? Why's that?" he asked.
"Because… his eyes reminded me of the sky...” The red Rider saw the sparkling human eyes behind Agito’s red bug-like lens. Kuuga nodded, agreeing that the name was well suited for the blue sashed commander.
"What about the redhead guy? What should we call him?" asked G3-X as he looked up at the two Riders, seemingly curious.
"Clownfish..." Gills dropped the answer. There was an awkward pause. "He smelled fishy..." He deadpanned. Everyone laughed, acknowledging his typical 'I don't care, deal with it' attitude as they accepted his answer.
"Noodle, Kuma, Sky Eyes and Clownfish. Sounds good for our mystery gang of rescuers!" Kuuga clapped and rubbed his hands excitingly
Agito chuckled softly before looking back at the stars once more. The more he stared at the little faint glistening lights, the more the made him think of sky… sky eyes… the man whose eyes were always drawn to the sky.
He felt a warm feeling as he remembered those cobalt irises. He wondered why he felt like that. He barely knows that man, let alone the fact that International Rescue seemed to keep themselves secret. Maybe he'll never know. But one thing for sure, they'll cross paths again. Because of those things...
Those kaijins… they were new. He had never seen them before. And they are as aggressive and dangerous as disasters. Agito… Yuuki sensed that whatever they were, they seemed to be after International Rescue. But for what? And why?
The answer will remain unknown, for now...

Triple H, Shawn Michaels x Fem Reader- "I Love Men"
December of 1997 would be a transitional time for the World Wrestling Federation.
During that month in that year, WWF CEO Vince McMahon made a speech ushering in a new era of the WWF, an era of antiheroes and edgier content, this era would be known as the Attitude era.
The era that would save the WWF from going out of business, be even more popular than the WWF in the 80's, and introduce us to some of the most iconic wrestling stars of the past 25 years.
This new era was also not like the WWF people were used to in the 1980's and even the 1990's.
No, this new era was a lot edgier, more violent, more oversexualized, and had some shock value.
What was once a kid friendly company that seemed like a live action Saturday morning cartoon and even had its own Saturday morning cartoon during the mid 1980's now wasn't something most parents would want their kids watching.
There were signs the Attitude era was coming about even before Vince McMahon made that speech that ushered in this new era, with Stone Cold Steve Austin being a middle finger throwing brawler, Mankind being a Hannibal Lector-esque psychopath, Brian Pillman pulling a gun out on Stone Cold and turning Goldust's wife into his personal sex slave, Kane being a horror movie villain whose face was burned during his childhood, Sable shedding a potato sack to reveal herself in a bikini that left almost nothing to the imagination and D Generation X being rebellious punks that spraypainted racist graffiti on black wrestler's locker room walls, sticking the Canadian flag up their noses and Triple H making jokes about his penis.
Some have even said the Attitude era began before Vince McMahon made that notorious speech ushering in this new era.
And you were one of the signs the Attitude era was coming about soon.
You were once Hunter Hearst Helmsley's elegantly dressed valet in evening gowns and silky opera gloves, who never said or did anything controversial or shocking.
However, sometimes in 1997, you were caught making out with Hunter in the back of a limo on "Monday Night Raw" as well as looking like you and Hunter were going to get busy as they say, but that was tame in comparison.
By the end of 1997, you ripped off an evening gown the audience was used to you wearing to reveal yourself wearing a skimpier, hooker-like outfit with a miniskirt and tube top, as well as did some moments like bending down and pretending to drop a makeup compact you were holding while you stuck your ass up in the air while Triple H, Shawn Michaels and the New Age Outlaws looked under your skirt and made gestures with their index fingers like they wanted to fingerbang you.
At the end of 1997, you cut a rather seductive and sexy wrestling promo that would lead to the character you'll always be remembered for playing in the WWF/E: a boy-crazy, seductive, slutty nymphomaniac with histrionic personality disorder that seduced wrestlers you thought were sexy.
Basically like a female Val Venis or a wrestling version of Madonna in the early 90's.
This wrestling promo started off by filming your leg covered in a silky red blanket as the camera slowly panned up your body while slow, jazzy music was playing in the background, the camera halting at filming up your body once it reached to you and Triple H's heads.
You and Triple H were snuggling in bed together right next to each other, you were curled up right next to him.
Triple H was shirtless and had his long, flowing blond locks hanging down, not tied with a little ponytail in the back or little braids, and one of his huge arms was wrapped behind you.
You were stark naked under that blanket, but the blanket was covering your nude body below your shoulders.
One of your hands, in particular the tip of your index finger, was horizontally running up and down his bare chest while he was smiling and you were looking at him, grinning from ear to ear.
Your eyes then panned to the camera, introducing yourself to the audience, your voice sounding seductive and sexy, like a phone sex girl.
This promo sounds like and looks more like a phone sex hotline commercial rather than a wrestling promo.
"I lovemen" you gushed, your eyes rolling to the top of your head when you enunciated the word "love".
"Men's bodies produce testosterone; which increase their libido" you explained while the tip of your index finger drew circles on one of Triple H's pecs. "As well as muscle and strength"
Your hands moved to Triple H's massive biceps and squeezed on both of them when you added how testosterone increases muscle and strength.
Though, there's something else that increased Triple H's arms and it ain't testosterone.
Or weightlifting.
You then rolled over, only for the camera to show that you weren't alone in this bed, and lying right next to you was Shawn Michaels.
Shawn, too, was shirtless, and his long brown hair was hanging down, he barely had any facial hair on his face.
The silky blanket was still covering your breasts as well as your naked body.
You snuggled yourself up next to show, nudging him, and one of your hands caressed up and down the middle of his chest, where his chest hair is.
He grinned while you stroked his chest, his chest hair was in between your fingers.
"Some men have chest hair" you explained, "That's not just a sign of masculinity; but perfect to run your fingers through".
The tip of your index finger drew circles in the middle of Shawn's hairy chest while you said that, his chest hair rolling and curling around the tip of your finger, but not enough for his chest hair to wrap around a tight grip on top.
'Tis a shame Scott Hall a.k.a. Razor Ramon is over in WCW (and you don't just mean over in wrestling lingo as something the audience really enjoys), because his chest hair is iconic, and he probably would love this promo.
Scratch that, he would.
Jeff Hardy could've been in this promo as well considering he had chest hair, even back then.
You then rolled your body over and crawled over the silky bed sheets, to where Triple H's genitals are.
When you crawled, you were trying not to show your bare naked breasts, but the tops of your arms were blocking your nipples from being shown.
Your face and head were close to Trips' crotch, covered and shielded by that silky blanket you were sharing with him, you stopped crawling once you were lying right next to his crotch.
"But my favorite thing about men" you started "Is their manhood"
You lifted one of your hands and placed the pad of your index finger over where Triple H's cock is, horizontally running that finger up and down.
Triple H actually was naked in this promo and he and Shawn had massive, blatant boners hiding under those bedsheets for you.
You can see Triple H's erection (or at least a prosthetic) poking and protruding through the silky bed sheets.
Plus, Triple H and Shawn Michaels in general were meant to have erections during this promo considering they play such naughty scamps in the WWF.
"They've got something down there that's hot, tender and juicy" you expressed while you ran your index finger horizontally up and down Triple H's shaft "That's perfect to suck on"
Triple H's hands moved above his crotch where they crossed an "x" shape at the wrist when you said "suck on", your lips grinned and smiled a naughty shit eating grin without showing your teeth.
"And testosterone is also responsible in producing something" you added "That I love as much as I love men"
No, you don't mean pee or worse, poo, because women poo and pee as well.
You mean cum.
Jizz.
Sperm.
Semen.
Spunk.
Skeet.
When you referenced how testosterone produces something you love as much as men, your fingers grabbed onto Triple H's scrotum covered by a blanket and gently squeezed them.
Your finger was stroking up and down Triple H's penis, but not Shawn Michaels'?
And you're grabbing Triple H's package but not Shawn's?
Ah well, Shawn Michaels took his pants off when he was playing strip poker, but Triple H didn't take his pants off.
And Triple H used to always crack dick jokes but Shawn Michaels didn't, even though women in the audience would shriek like maniacs hearing that.
Triple H in 1997 didn't piss you off as much as Shawn did backstage, though Shawn is sexier than Triple H.
"C'mon boys" you said, your eyes looking at Triple H, "I'm sick of talking"
Triple H and Shawn looked at each other and smiled, where you crawled back into bed with them and one of Trips and Shawn's hands grabbed the covers and pulled them over your ass, shielding your ass from being shown on television, and you slid under the covers, Triple H wrapping one of his huge arms around you and pulling you closer to him while Shawn snuggled up right next to you.
You giggled like a schoolgirl and smiled from ear to ear while Triple H looked like he was leaning his lips into yours.
You sounded like phone sex girl all throughout this promo, which was the intention of it.
Jerry Lawler must be drooling uncontrollably watching this promo, but he can go fuck himself.
Despite that the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras are the 2 most beloved WWF/E eras ever, one thing about those eras that hasn't aged well and has faced criticism is that most of the female roster were treated as sex objects, not as wrestlers.
Even women who were wrestlers like Ivory and Jacqueline were turned into sex objects sometimes.
But your wrestling promo sexually objectifies men and treats them as sex objects; this promo was you gushing over how you love men, but not for their personalities, but when they produce testosterone and what testosterone leads to.
Y'know, women have breasts you can suck on, squeeze and play with, and pussies you can eat, finger and fuck.
_____________________________________________________________
I originally planned on typing a fanfic where the fem reader is a ringrat that Hunter Hearst Helmsley introduces to other wrestlers, and eventually the fem reader gets gangbanged by the likes of Hunter, Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, Bret Hart, Davey Boy Smith and a wrestler named Avatar (who would later on play Al Snow).
But...I've been afraid this fanfic will be too similar to the one where the fem reader joins the WWF and she gets gangbanged by Hunter, Shawn, Brian Pillman, the New Rockers, etc.

Not just other people, the sight of other people on the subway or bus, walking carefree down the street, lost in their music, emitting auras, and I’m wondering what that music is. Not just music, I miss the stories, the way we gather around a sound as though it’s a flame, the way other sounds, triggering other other sounds, can shatter and send us. Not a sound, but a volume I miss is when you’re at a club or a show, and you’re trying to tell someone something, and you’re conscious of not wanting to shout directly in their ear, since you know a polite whisper will get drowned out by the music, and so you (or, in this case, I) resort to a loud mutter, or you emphasize the most important words and hope they can fill in the rest, or you tiptoe your sentence through the noise, guiding whatever you’re saying in between the quiet spaces of the music. Not music, but a sound I thought about a lot this year was a young Black man killed by the cops, his name was Elijah McClain, and he used to play the violin to comfort stray cats. Not playing the violin, rather sawing open this world to reveal one somewhere else that I’d like to believe exists.

ALBUM REVIEW: The Lost Boy
“Try to take a walk up in my shoes/A n**** rapping like I really got something to prove, Cause motherf****er, I do/I climb hills, n***** was sleeping, on Nyquil/ Paint a picture vivid, dawg, on everything, my life's real”
Overall Thoughts
Maryland rapper YBN Cordae plants a solid footprint in the rap game on his debut album The Lost Boy: a 45 minute masterpiece filled with excellent storytelling and production combined with a unique style that proves he’s definitely an up and comer to look out for in years to come.
The Lost Boy was my favorite rap/hip-hop release of 2019. Cordae’s first studio album is contender for one of my favorite debut albums ever. In my opinion, related artists’ (Chance the Rapper, Logic, Bas, J Cole, Kendrick, Amine) debut album’s fall to The Lost Boy. And at 21, his debut releases at an age younger than everyone in that group. To have an excellent project at such a young age is another feat on its own.
One commonality I notice with debut albums is that new artists tend to sound like their biggest influencers; the biggest culprit being Logic. But Cordae stands out with his own style that doesn’t sound too similar to any of his numerous influences. His delivery, word choice, and flow (while not always mind blowing), is not a carbon copy of a rapper from the 90s-00s. Here, Cordae’s sound is his own.
His pen game on this project is consistently above average, but rarely mind blowing. Tracks like “We Gone Make It” and “Thousand Words” exhibit his strongest lyricism. However, Cordae’s story telling abilities are consistently powerful. Tracks like “Bad Idea”, “Thanksgiving”, “Nightmares Are Real”, “Family Matters” all have Cordae illustrating his experiences. He emphasizes his perspective as a young man who’s finding himself through all these experiences. Even his most bragging and banger tracks still feature great humility and storytelling elements, the stand out being “Broke as F***”.
The features on The Lost Boy are all top notch. Cordae includes Chance the Rapper, Ty Dollar $ign, Pusha-T, Anderson .Paak, and Meek Mill, all of whom bring elite verses to their features. It’s even better that the guests don’t completely outshine Cordae. Cordae brings enough weight to each song that its not completely engulfed by the feature. Songs like French Montana’s “No Shopping”, Logic’s “Homicide”, Chance’s “Handsome” all suffer from a feature that outclasses the main artist. But Cordae goes toe to toe with each feature.
I should also mention the two skits, “Sweet Lawd” and “Grandma’s House”. Both are pretty good as far as skits go. I can’t help but assume they were influenced by Kanye West’s “I’ll Fly Away” from The College Dropout, both of which sound very reminiscent to. They display Cordae’s singing abilities and soulful sound. And its touching to hear Cordae’s grandmother on the latter track.
Overall, I can’t really find a weak spot on this project. The runtime, theme/tone, uniqueness, production, and lyricism are all excellent. As far as debut albums go, Cordae made has created one of the best I’ve ever heard.
Album Breakdown
The common theme throughout this project is Cordae’s experiences being young and lost in a chaotic world. I love this theme because it doesn’t limit the scope about his topics. He can make fun tracks, political commentary, and emotional deep cuts while staying tonally consistent.
1. Wintertime
"Wintertime” features a smooth, mellow, jazzy beat; The vibe feels like a instrumental off of J Cole’s 4 Your Eyez Only. Cordae introduces himself, compares where he started to where he’s at now, and discusses some everyday plagues that stress him (anxiety, maintaining success, pressure to appear problem-free) while also aiming for the top and hoping nothing he creates fades away. Great intro.
2. Have Mercy
This next track is lyrically nothing deep or profound, just a banger track with a dope instrumental. The echoy, bassy sound that develops on the last leg of the song is especially great. I also found Cordae’s music video technique interesting. He released two videos, Path A and Path B, that illustrate opposite tones. Path A brings more zainy, flamboyant visuals while Path B is much more dark and eerie. I personally think Path A is the more appropriate for the track. Overall, not a bad banger.
3. Sweet Lawd- Skit
This skit features Cordae singing the hook off “Have Mercy” over a church-like piano. As I mentioned early, strongly reminds me of “I’ll Fly Away” off Kanye West’s The College Dropout. Cordae’s voice is soulful and pleasant to listen to as well. The first gospel-esque track.
4. Bad Idea
Chance the Rapper and Cordae team up to create one of the best songs on the album. They both deliver great verses, Chance’s middle verse being the best. Here they talk about the downsides of Home and the impact those experiences had on them. They borrow the beginning chorus lines “It might not be such a bad idea if I never went home again” from Gil Scott-Herman’s “Home is Where the Hatred Is” and heavily styled like Kanye West’s “My Way Home”. Although Cordae is the main singer on the chorus, he layers his voice to make it sound like an ensemble of singers. A great stylistic choice. And the heavy piano X light strings perfectly end the track. Between the strings at the end, the Kanye West sample, and Chance’s (a huge fan, supporter, and protege of Kanye) involvement, I definitely smell influence from West’s sophomore album Late Registration.
5. Thanksgiving
“Thanksgiving”, the first deep cut on the album, has Cordae introducing a girl to his family during Thanksgiving. However, she’s fake and never stays around, making him question their relationship while remaining hopeful they can maintain it. Cordae demonstrates his powerful storytelling abilities. The overall mellow tone in the production allows his lyrics to fit perfectly in the instrumental; it doesn’t outshine but it doesn’t get over shadowed either.
6. RNP
Anderson .Paak has collaborated with Andre 3000, J. Cole, Rhapsody, Kendrick Lamar, BJ The Chicago Kid, Pusha-T, and Q-Tip, so I wasn’t surprised when I saw Cordae would be collaborating with the talented singer. However, I couldn’t prepare for the amazing back-and-forth chemistry between them. You wouldn’t think when listening to them trade bars that they have a 12 year age difference between them. Also fun fact: J. Cole produced the track.
Both these artists are just having fun over a bouncy beat, talking about the “problems” they’ve experienced being rich. Definitely be favorite fun track so far.
7. Broke As F***
This is tied for my favorite track on the album. Cordae’s lyrics aren’t necessarily the most complex and deep, but he brings such a indescribable energy to his storytelling. He basically tells the story from him being a baby, being in high school appreciating hip hop, where he came from, and where he’s going to go. The great thing here is that its not solely bragging about his possessions. Its a commentary on what he’s GAINED. This adds a touch of humility. And at the end, he comments on how he’s lost, still searching, and doesn’t “really have a lot of answers”, tying into the theme of the album. Perfect.
The spacey instrumental on the chorus, the beat drop after the first line of the first verse, and the beat change midway through makes this one of the best instrumentals on the album. And the ending drums transition to the next song perfectly.
8. Thousand Words
“Thousand Words” has some best verses on the album. Here Cordae talks about the toxicity of social media and how people create false perceptions to hide true pain. While already an intriguing topic, Cordae goes a step further by admitting he’s not holier than thou. He admits everyone lowkey wants to be a little famous, and nobody wants to be “nameless”. I love that. It’s easier to say Instagram and Twitter are toxic (Logic on Confessions of a Dangerous Mind). But to admit there is some validity and positivity to social media...very profound for someone so young. My favorite lines are:
“Living in this false reality that's in this picture gallery/
Based on a n***** profile, we guessin' salary/
The lifestyle you advertise was quite strategized/
Make a minimal amount and then we maximize/
These n***** cappin' with lies how they capitalize/
Creating they own perceptions, what a massive facade/
Digital marketing schemes even broader regime/
Live how you want on the internet, who thought of this thing?”
9. Way Back Home
Ty Dollar $ign stands out on the feature, talking about not letting fame and success pull him from reality. Cordae sings the chorus and most of his verse. Admittedly, I wasn’t a fan of Cordae’s parts; It felt underwhelming. But the instrumental and Ty’s verse carry a significant part of the song. I especially loved the high pitched melodic voice that pops in the beat throughout the song. I also love the sci-fi, techy “WORP” effect throughout the instrumental. But ultimately, this felt more like Ty’s song than Cordae’s.
10. Grandma’s House- Skit
Between “Grandma’s House” and “Sweet Lawd”, I prefer this skit. The harmonious vocals that echo Cordae’s grandma’s vocals give off an amazing gospel vibe. The simplistic yet soulful and intimate aura of this skit makes it one of my favorite interlude-skits off any rap album.
11. Been Around
Another mellow song on the project, “Been Around” has Cordae talking about the development of his career and how he’s going to keep moving forward and not let doubters or bad situations slow him down. I like the chorus more than the verses, but overall its not a bad track. It maintains the tone of the album and flexes Cordae’s pen game a little.
12. Nightmares Are Real
This was the most intriguing collaboration on the album. Pusha-T and Cordae have very different sounds and styles; Pusha-T brings much more aggressiveness whereas Cordae is softer. Cordae’s hardest verses don’t compare to Pusha-T’s baseline intensity. Although they don’t demonstrate strong chemistry, they both bring solid verses. Both tell stories of how they started in the rap game, however, Pusha-T’s wordplay and lyricism is a step above Cordae’s. He talks about dealing with selling crack while developing his skills in rapping. Particular set of lines had me shook.
“Asterisk, skipped school, recorded with The Neptunes/
We was makin' high school classics/
Before I took a kilo and I wrapped it, I rapped it/
Around the funeral with the casket/
Coke avalanche, like a landslide/
Only grew my hair this long because my man died/”
I don’t wanna go too far into explaining these lyrics cus genius will do better job. But Pusha-T brings fire to this track. The tone of the instrumental matches Pusha-T’s intensity as well. As solid of a collaboration this is, its not in my top 3 collabs. That goes to show how amazing this project is.
13. Family Matters
"Family Matters” is tied with “Broke as F***” for my favorite song on The Lost Boy. Cordae talks about the stress of witnessing family traumas and difficulties while experiencing his own success. He expresses feelings of guilt and selfishness when his family hides things from him so he can focus on achieving his goals. He talks about abandonment from baby daddies, aunt’s raising kids that aren’t theirs, a cousin in an abusive relationship, a cousin addicted to xanax, and another aunt who’s a prostitute. All of this is happening while he’s worried about “plays and streams”. It’s an interesting sentiment. Is it selfish to focus on yourself when your family has a load of obstacles and difficulties? Every time he succeeds he has to look back at where he came from and be reminded his family does not share his accomplishments. Nearly brought me to tears when I first heard it.
As I already stated, lyrically this is one of Cordae’s top songs. Arin Ray brings a choir on the chorus that sounds amazing, adding to the gospel sound sprinkled throughout the album. And the light violin strings at the end encapsulate the emotional turmoil Cordae expresses.
14. We Gone Make It
Another top track, “We Gone Make It”, features a collab with Meek Mill to make political/social commentary on todays world and encourage others to keep pushing to succeed. Unlike the other three collaborations “Bad Idea”, “Way Back Home”, and “Nightmares are Real”, Meek Mill’s verses are actually equal with Cordae. Although I’m not a huge fan of Mill, he brings in a succinct, powerful 12 bars and a hook so dope he, as Cordae puts it, had to “sing it twice”. Also fun fact: Cordae used a modified version of the first verse on H.E.R’s “Lord is Coming (Remix)”.
Instrumentally, the beat accompanies the message without overshadowing it. The piano melody and vocal chops throughout mix well with the verses. I personally love the piano keys in the final minute. It adds an aura of delicacy to a song with such an intense message.
15. Lost & Found
In the perfect closing track “Lost & Found”, Cordae displays pride, stating “I was lost boy, now I’m found”. Over a bumpy, bassy beat with epic trumpet harmonies, he comments on everything throughout the project. However, now he has assurance he’s not lost nor insecure from his experiences. And he knows things are going up from here. Like the rest of the album, he’s lyrically above average, reflecting on his life while introducing a fun, braggadocios vibe. Kinda like a “the balls in your court” to the rest of the rap game. Loved it.
Final Thoughts
I look forward to Cordae’s next album. This was a near perfect debut solo album. At 21 years old, Cordae displays strong lyricism and production skills. His ability to story-tell and introspect indicate incredible feats in career. The lowest parts of this project are still amazing, and the high points put this project as my favorite of the year. I don’t know how else to say it. The rap game better watch out for this Maryland born “Lost Boy”. If The Lost Boy indicates the trajectory of his future, Cordae will have the crown in no time.
Top 3 Tracks:
1) Family Matters
2) Broke As F***
3) Bad Idea
Overall Grade: A+
