Nostalgic Dissociation




"He had always been such a benevolent ghost-all these years he spent irrelevant to a malevolent host.

His fears geared away from the evidence shown. (His) face mirrors how he's still stuck in his throes.

(He) used to be king. At least a small prince on his throne. Now he's just a cry that got stuck in (His) throat.
No lullaby, for the boy, that nobody knows.

He lay inside of (His) mold, paralyzed in the dark, he was cold.

All of the reaching out led (Him) home, where (He) felt the nostalgia taking (His) bones. "

Memories (He) could taste, in (His) sight and his nose.

(He) felt (Him)self, being, not quite alone.
Left with an emptiness, (He) had never known.

-(He) felt out of place, smaller than ever,- (He) was out of his zone.

It's like (He) could remember the weather- sky all whites and golds the day his mother brought him his first telescope.

-(He) almost started to float.......away

that day her bangs too long, were in the way as he sat and watched her fold their clothes, just waiting for the end of May.

-That same spring, he almost froze, afraid, those sneaky sips of coffee, had surely stunted his growth. Same age. He stopped thinking girls were too gross to play. -

Either way, it was then, that (His) world began to change. When death arrived and grief came here to stay.

Somehow (He) put it all away. Now, again in this place, he feels so small in (His) old frame.

(He's) only human. Though (His) aura is a darker hue. And (He) is barely still a man.

He left his inner child bottled, unhealed in a can

That broken boy inside never even had a chance.

Somehow that one moment, had stolen, all his joy. Made hopeless all his plans.

And still to this day, he is just, the shell of a boy.

Just the outline of a man.

some days are no better than others

I played with sci-fi trains as a kid;
and what I imagined wasn’t classical magic; it was electrically charged carts
that were carrying coal to celestial bodies that were several centuries apart.
They were made of the carbon of dark stars and specially marked parts
to avoid paying the toll of the heavenly lobbies that they enter and depart.

I used to put my whole heart into the game,
and my grandma used to help me make the suits.
She taught me to always start in the frame
and then find the right way to break the rules…

I was trying to shake my terrestrial roots when I signed up for the Space Force, a loon
dying to wake up in a spaceport with the rest of the troops and set a straight course for the moon,
but it was soon after the Challenger went boom that they grounded the noobs
and when the news spread, the new heads found new beds in Army platoons.

I was starting to lose hope in the halogen torchlights,
but the postcards from my grandma helped as I fought fear;
and I parted the gloom with tickets for short flights
heading home for the holidays: I always brought beer
for the icebox, from Hartnell perfume and sitting-on-the-porch nights,
to warm days, out on the lawn, weeding the dandelions and hawksbeard…

it always felt like I had to leave the moment I got here, back to the trepidation and car repairs,
back to the old-school gangster flicks and practising my pick-fights-across-the-bar stares…

but it eventually ends.
My grandma had an old Bel Air from ‘56, and when I got out, she gave me the keys.
I got my fresh prints on the wheel, slicked back my hair, and began living the dream,
but it took me about three weeks to roll with the wrong crowd, and instead of wanting to leave,
I kicked rocks with the crew until ops planted a pressure-sensitive bomb in my seat.

the feeling of heat washed the oxygen out of my lungs, and I couldn’t see far,
but I finally realized I was destined to die young as we arrived at the ER.

I should have just gone to space camp instead of digging myself a deeper grave.
I knew I was dying, but didn’t know where I’d go… did I belong in either place?
my grandma leaned close: ”You’ll always be my little boy no matter your age”,
”and if you die, I’ll probably follow you soon, so if you see me in the ether, wave”.

OPEN FOR VOTES!!!!

[Mike Wrecka]

Interesting battle here.

Ether - I really enjoyed this piece but imo it is ,idk how to say it, it’s not really what I look for in a verse. It’s beautifully written but it’s not hip hop. And topicals don’t necessarily have to be but I prefer rhymes that can be read to a beat. This feels more like I guess you would say poetry or spoken word. But putting that aside I liked it. Even though you tend to tackle topics in such a vague way. I like more of a direct approach. So as you could see I’m quite torn here, I liked it but it’s a departure from what I typically look for.

Sym - you switched up styles on us here. Which I think was a bad idea. You really abandoned your usual technically advanced rhyme scheme and used a much simpler one here. Also your take on the topic didn’t really pull me in at all. Imo this was your worst verse of the tournament. I think you realized you were facing an opponent that does things differently and decided that you would do things a bit differently yourself. You tried to beat ether at her own game. And that was a mistake.

I think ether was able to connect to the topic better and despite being so vague in her story telling had more emotion in her verse. And I had more fun reading hers.

Vote - ether

Etherwave
Cute story about a boy who lost his mother, grew into a emotionally unavailable man and started being pulled towards the past to face his inner child.

Cute flow. The one syllable rhymes disgust me though. You really need to work on that.

Symetrik

What a beautiful story, I don't think I rated it much to the picture other than adding the toys into the story which I honestly thought was so fire.
And did you sneak diss your opponent. That's was cute. I liked it.
All in all

Mvgt sym, as his was just overall written better even though ethers was more emotion inducing, you outshines with your perfectionism, taking your time, and having a more beautiful Piece.

Good Luck to you both.

[Etherwave]

We both win! Yayyyyy lol

[Dope girl]

This is tough both creative with topic
Both opener decent both flow nice and smooth
I felt like Ether vs more creative compare to Symetrik

Vote-Ether

[oats]

I was tagged four times, about half the number of times that Lars has ducked me over the years, so I decided to read the verses instead of do work I should be doing.

Ether: I liked the use of parentheses to mirror the image and make concrete the idea of identity being within a container, though after a while it became a little distracting -- sometimes less is more when you're trying something artful like that. Overall I thought your piece was a little too vague, but there were some nice turns of phrase, and the closing lines were lovely.

Symetrik: the actual narrative was more plainly stated, but I'm not sure it made it any easier to follow. The tie-ins to the toys in the pictures were cool, and I appreciated the "ether, wave" bit. but I guess I was left a little unfulfilled by it all? like I didn't quite understand what had happened, or care to find out. wasn't a huge fan of the ABABAB rhyme structure in the middle, either.

ummmm it's close but I think I like Etherwave's better.

[sral]

I’m right here any time you want to lose oats

You got me on FB too

[Master Rock]

Yo, this was a nice final. Sym and Ether definitely came through with some quality verses. Now both incorporated THE TOPIC WELL.. madd props. Ether tapped in to the emotion as well as the psyche with color throughout. Sym came with a formulaic blend incorporating aspects of script writing in a straight foward manner utilizing all the aspects of the photo. This could be a choice of preference, but I wish sym would of initially approached the wireframe in a symbolic way. His finishing paragraph was perfection but not enough to wash the emotion depth and context of Ether's verse. Great job to you both.

Vote: Ether

[symetrik]

sral this is good enough for me :D WELL DESERVED LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Etherwave]

I have a dream, that one day, this tournament will end...and another will begin. So I can show yall the next wave. Yall just saw Ether.

[sral]

I tried for you guys, not sure what more I can say

[symetrik]

I tried for you guys, not sure what more I can say

it's chill

[Etherwave]

I tried for you guys, not sure what more I can say

No issue! I had a ball. They gonna be more vigilant next time.

[Master Rock]

MADD props!

[Mr. J]

What up.

Had a moment to peruse both of these. Ether been on point since the jump, symetrik is someone who popped up out of nowhere though.

Overall y'all both delivered with the topic at hand and made it work to y'all style. Ether really appreciates the form and it shows throughout the season while symetrik blossomed, each share a niche that they fit. I felt y'all brought the subject a proper projection whilst delivering something easy to read and vibe to.

Wavy, you start each piece with a vision then run with it and bounce it off some wild imagery, sometimes you put too much emphasis on getting each word out. When you could benefit from just several words replaced by one or two. Regardless your piece really brought some pizzazz that you are known for. Appreciate the work.

Symetrik, you have a unique style that works to your advantage once you paint the piece, you don't really slip up too often which makes reading your drops worthwhile, this piece could have been fleshed out a bit deeper, I feel both of y'all would have benefited without line restrictions but that's beside the point, your schemes and eye for a nice one liner scattered throughout is dope.

V/Ether.

There is a certain ethos that Ether's piece brings forth and with that poetic delivery it just makes it stick to you, symetrik had a nice little set up with some dope imagery but the ending really brought it down for me, I get what you were going for but that ending kind of soured the build up, which is unfortunate for a finals verse. Both delivered though. Congrats.

[brokenhal0]

symetrik - your style has gotten better since we first battled you seem to be expierementing with more conceptual aspects of how your written word sounds i enjoyed alot of this some parts just throw off your rhythmic tension and worldbuilding with sudden personal reflects that didnt neccessirly carry the masterfully crafted cadence your opp brought to the table...

etherwave - this is one of my favorite writtens of the tourney your obviously a master wordsmith and this a great examaple of flowing with direction using the spoken passage
in a way that a spell is casted in a very artistic format that draws the reader in thats a skill that takes time to master clean sweep most the tourney..

CONGRATULATIONS TO Etherwave ON HER WIN, NC’S FIRST EVER FEMALE TOURNAMENT CHAMPION!

[Etherwave]

Whatttttt first ever female Now I'm really honored out here representing for the Goddesses.

[Headless Verseman]

Etherwave- I thought you started off more interesting than you finished. If the piece continued like the first 8 bars I think it would be far less close. It got a little unrefined in the middle- this doesn't work nearly as well as the first 4- it's less natural, definitely stretched

-(He) almost started to float.......away

that day her bangs too long, were in the way as he sat and watched her fold their clothes, just waiting for the end of May.

---

Sym- kind of interesting how you mixed in abab with aabb, several times. I don't actually like it- it felt random. If you did 90% with one rhyme scheme and then either started or ended the piece differently I think it would have more impact to the uniqueness. I also didn't think the content was particularly unique in the segments when you changed up your rhyme scheme which also detracted.

Pros- You were far more direct in the piece with how you worded it. That's a big bonus- I really didn't like ether's structure of the (he)/(him) stuff. I've tried figuring out what the point was- but ultimately I just don't care. Being direct has a lot more impact


Cons- I thought this was entirely forced. I don't think "noobs" and "new heads" fit well within a topical written. That's just me- for battles sure- but topically you need to elevate the word usage or at least consider it a little more.


This is a tough one- I vote Sym because it was more direct and he did go out of his way to increase difficulty with the rhyme scheme and structure. I think its really close and more personal preference type battle- so congrats to both for being so evenly matched
