Ascension #390
TOP THREE MOMENTS:
- Not Today takes it because it set up Slade so fantastically. This feud is short on text, heavy on description, and my kind of a jam. I don't know what Slade's done to earn this focus from the Ferryman, but hot damn I'm all on board now.
2. Smile Surgery was just a fantastic moment of seeing Mr. Sunshine's breaking down, and how Narcissa's not even the least bit concerned for how he comes out of it. The strangeness, the erratic nature, all of it just came together wonderfully! I love seeing how this man's just gonna go apeshit.
3. Force was just a fantastic fucking moment, the building of Dragon Caido and then the emergence of El Mariachi Muerte to say no and choose to keep what he's long since claimed as his own was just a fucking baller moment. Like I'm an EMM fan but this is just showing what's going to be one of the coolest fuckin feuds around.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
- Who's gonna come out as the Ring King/Queen?
- Will Nero trust Reverend Graves long enough to save his family?
- Why is Gravedigger hunting Slade?
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
So this might be an odd one, but I had an absolute delight reading While Arcadia Burns. Something about the promo felt like it was just oozing out the 90's esque sort of narration you'd see come out of the Crow, and I think for that it's spectacular.
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Cap, buddy, look. I know she's animal themed, but she's been like that the whole time. It doesn't mean she's there to be ambushed, knocked unconcious, and left for the proverbial and potentially literal wolves out there. In seriousness though, I'm loving seeing Cap just go absolutely paranoid, lashing out and trying to stop agents of the Zookeeper where he can. The cracks are showing and they're coming out fantastically.
TOP THREE MOMENTS:
1. For Old Times Sake, this segment has layers that I really appreciate. First, the obvious old team being stuck together in a way they certainly don't want to be. Tag team to the end potentially. Secondly, I love a villain who's just evil sometimes, the confirmation of yeah I probably deserve this was fun to see. Lastly, this whole area they are trapped is giving me doctor death vibes, are we about to get another return or someone new entirely?
2. Force, I love this lore drop here and how the magic of the mariachis came from El Dragon Caido or Mariachi Grande whichever name he prefers. The fact that hes targeting Muerte to get the power back is a brilliant twist I was not expecting.
3. The Heir III, I am loving this story more and more and now that Zeus and George Cade are pushing Jackson towards this direction, it seems more possible. I wonder if its actually going to belong to him or will it lead to a battle for true power over Arcadia? Plenty of people have a claim.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
Will Jackson want to take over everything?
Who has Doom and Nox trapped?
How brutal will Savor and Felix be now that its not for the title and just a pure blood feud?
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
Damn it Damo, that was probably your best piece against me especially with these two characters and you did it at the right exact moment. I'm hoping this starts a steam roll for a night king, congrats bud, you definitely earned it.
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Narcissa being brutal as ever and I love it, bitch mode engaged and she's using all of it against Mr. Sunshine. I wonder whats next for these two, will it be more destruction through revision or will Sunshine get some revenge. This is a fun feud for sure and loving the angle about it.
TOP THREE MOMENTS:
1. Message Received: This was badass it had so much to it. So many questions. Will they be a legit good team? Hate for Nero or not, Graves doesn’t like innocents getting this kind of treatment, so this is going to be a sick storyline. Huge tag match ahead, and I hope to give it my all.
2. Not For You: Super excited to see where this goes. Always a fan of Destructo’s storylines they’re always entertaining.
3. Ambush: Did Captain Arcadia need to bash his shield in her face? Yes. Yes, he did. Makes it more intense and this storyline is heating up.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
• Who advances in the Ring King tourney?
• How will Nero handle what’s happened to his wife and kid?
• How will Destructo react when he wakes up and sees “Not… For… You”?
• Could we see Zeus hand the reins over to Cade?
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
Sorry never got a chance to read any.
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Gotta be honest my time management has been shit since my surgery. The infection after was pretty bad, and with work, I’ve been in a fog. Time goes by so, so, so fast these days, and I don’t know how I can’t keep up. I feel like I’m standing still watching the world pass me by. Like mentally I’m not all there its weird feeling. Maybe my years of football are finally catching up with me.
Long story short I’m sorry for not getting this feedback up sooner. I will change, and if you don’t see that change, please get rid of me.
I really like this push for Graves. He had a sick face moment getting the crap kicked out of him, not fighting back, and just saying “It… wasn’t… me…” was perfect. You know my boy well — it’s perfect.
TOP THREE MOMENTS:
1. im enjoying the entire caido and emm ordeal, mainly because of the lore that we’ve been presented. and it wasn’t hard for me at that point to get on board with what i was reading. im very interested to see what decisions emm will make since caido is now *forcing* him to return the power bestowed to him. this is gonna be good, i feel it.
2. smile surgery was kinda sad in a sense im feeling like. i mean sunshine is seeing every memory of his past being stuffed in a trash can and for a man thats been through so much and so many changes already, with narcissa and zeus now breathing down his back, i wonder how much more could sunshine possibly take at this point.
3. i enjoyed not for you as well. theres been attempts before to get michaela away from klaus but the only thing that it hasnt been attempted by destructo before, whos probably the most persistent dudes around. he’ll have his work cut out for him tho with this one, so i cant to see how he’ll navigate this one moving forward.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
how close is sunshine to snapping?
what does nox/doom have planned?
will ferryman ever catch up to slade?
what is caido’s plan to seize back emm’s power?
will jackson cade become what zeus is hoping?
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
i always enjoy the free reign and level of not giving a damn thats displayed in hatchet’s promos. it must be fun crafting those as well. always a good read.
HAVE YOUR SAY:
well damn this shit took off pretty quickly. i didn’t anticipate felix straight up trying to decapitate anton like this, at least not this soon. but we’re here, and seemingly at a point where shit could only get crazier moving forward. with anton having felix arrested and wanting to press charges, i cant wait to see where we pick up at in a few days.
