User blog comment:Cherrae Witch/DIO vs Dracula - A Rap Battle/@comment-24322797-20191026223806

i told myself i was gonna read this before i fucked off again and im glad i did. a few things to note first: i really, really am tired of hearing about jojo's lol but you obviously know the source material and dio was a hell of a lot of fun to read as a result. this line in particular;

You're just sad, Vlad, shouldn't you be dancing with Billy and Mandy?

If you're going to mock me at least bring out Sandler and Lee.

is just particularly great because sandler/mandy and lee/billy is such an out of nowhere rhymescheme and i really like how it panned out.

another thing is with the first verses, they both keep the same rhyme for most of it and in a lot of cases i find that tends to lend itself to filler for the sake of keeping the rhymescheme going (i did it with clockwork in toby vs tony and it did not work out haha) but this was a rare case where i thought it was genuinely done well

the plot twist with the vampire hunters coming in was fun, using julius instead of simon was surprising yet it made better sense and i smiled at the 'you don't belong in this world!' line, made even better by jojo guy 1 coming in after to bounce off of it.

that said i do think it was a bit too beefy, and the fastest way to fix that is either remove one-third of the dio vs dracula verse or don't give the vampires a rebuttal verse with the hunters finishing them off. length isn't usually a bad thing but it does make it a bit of a chore since this felt like two battles packed in one (in a way, it was lol)

regardless you're still great at this and i'm glad you're back in the saddle. i'll fuck off now haha
