dude what an amazing battle, for real. definitely BOTW here. amazing stuff guys.

Vulgar- dude i'm not gonna lie, i actually googled the names from your story lmao cuz i was like, the pictured topic looks like an infamous photo that i can't place, and now i feel dumb because i really dont know. so when i read your piece, it seemed like a historical narrative based on like a Shakespeare story or something. anyway, i found it very interesting, you painted an accurate, detailed picture here and i found the take creative, even after having to read it a few times to catch the things i missed.

Adverse- really good stuff here man. i really liked the idea of being trapped in a painting, it's a chilling idea, almost twilight-zone-esque.

They call me “gothic” “dark” “a masterpiece!” They praise my creator’s brush
Yes the painter ...so focused on alleviating his tortured soul, he never realized he created one --definitely my favorite line, as well as the last 2 to bring it altogether

now, like many other close battles, as i mentioned in the past, i feel like this partly comes down to preference. while vulgar had a more in depth story with the topic, adverse also provided the same attention to detail when it came to imagery, in my opinion. as descriptive as vulgar was, adverse kept my attention throughout, and also his ending had a lasting effect for me emotionally, versus vulgar's. i think i'm gonna go with the underdog here. but i will say, making a choice for one or the other, feels like i'm doing an injustice toward writing itself. very hard vote here gentleman
