WEEK FIVE: ADVERSE 0-0 VS SCAR 1-0 SCAR WINS VIA FORFEIT

[Master Rock]

This match is crazy...

Two warriors out to kill, while their swords are clashing...

Goodness....

Scar, your opener really placing somewhere (perhaps an elementary school or high school?) but pinewood in stormy tide... I can't figure this out. Maybe your referring to yourself being the pinewood in a storm and that is strong??? (I don't know...but I am still digging the opener...I also am digging the breakfast table psyche where the character doesn't have much to say but our main character is expressing their thoughts on the situation (nicely done). However, next, there is a plot hole..how could a woman miss her menstrual cycle, and immediately the man asked what is the gender??? (however, that is a minor gripe..but perhaps we are in an alternate dimension where these rules to realty do not apply). Then you bring in the stuff I am an absolute sucker for,

"Awkward silence. Still guessing if it’s of joy or of pain
Or some sort of ploy to Gain
Advantage. Lost in this vantage point"

So dope!!! (Gain and advantage brought together in the way... I digg it).^^

You continue to bring it especially with,

"Holding hands conversations, kisses
Open legs and scrimmage
Til we create an image"

^^Insanity...I don't think I would of ever thought of something like this..Props!

After that, I'm left wondering if the ending is truly concluded.

As for Adverse, a pleasant surprise. The dude is not playing, right off the back..let's make the topic come to life with an intro retrospection for the dialectician back and forth tearing through the fabric of existence.
I found this rhyme scheme interesting,

"afar, is-" and "carcass"

^^I am inspired...

"My creativity always acted as a veil, a shield to the perennial darkness
Losing the same light that I hold to is what made all of my enemies heartless"

^^Dude!!!..seriously.

The fact that he is placing himself in the child's shoes and bringing the mindset of a child to the forefront is slapping the topic with the pitter-pattering jabs throughout.

"The warm butterflies of childhood wonderment"

^Beautiful.

"Used to hole up in my room to script music I knew one day I’d perform on stage"

^ I might be knit-picking but I think it may be hold instead of hole.

After all this, he seems to go into a tirade of opposition perhaps towards his parents/guardians or whatnot but concludes the verse perfectly by bringing the topical picture alive.

This was a dope battle, both brothers did their thing and it was solid as can be...However, Adverse really brought this topic alive and unpacked surprises along the way.
