 avatarjk137 2009-08-24 . chapter 21Excellent work on this fic. You really nail down Buttercup's point of view perfectly. The action gets better and better as the story goes along, the plot's fascinating... it's great. There are some flaws - grammar issues here and there, and some improper language that fits Buttercup's dialogue and narration sounds out of place when Mojo's using it. Still, though, excellent work, and I'll be reading the sequel! |
 Gijinka Renamon 2009-07-12 . chapter 21Wow... just wow. This blew me away, and kinda gives a different perspective of things, even if they are from Buttercup's biased opinion. Once again, nice work. (Faves) |
 K9 the First 2009-07-09 . chapter 21O_O Oh wow.
I read this story a couple years ago, but I only got to chapter seven or so. Having... matured some, I decided to read it all the way through, and I gotta say that I was blown away!
One thing I thought was really effective was the use of First-Person with Buttercup, mostly because-had this story been told from third-person-much of the power would have been lost. We as an audience would've lost the thought process that drives Buttercup to do the things she does, and the story would have suffered greatly for it.
Another thing: When I first picked up the story, I thought that everyone seemed really OOC, but then I realized that since this is from B-Cup's POV, little things would be seen vastly different.
I look forward to reading Epilogue! ^_^ |
 Don't Use Anymore. 2009-06-27 . chapter 21This owns. The ButtercupxPrincess femslash is win as is the father-daughter moments between Mojo and Buttercup. |
 Wise ex-fanfic author 2009-06-19 . chapter 21 Yet another song to go with another tormented character. Pleasure's all mine, you know? Enjoy:
Why does it feel like night today
Something in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
Like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first
But I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun
I feel the light betray me
The sun
I feel the light betray me
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin |
 Cartoon Network Fan 2009-04-08 . chapter 21Although the idea of Buttercup becoming evil doesn't sit well with me. I have to say, the way you wrote this story had me glued to the computer all day. I give it 9 out of 10.
Well done:) |
 apprentice.of.arte 2009-03-21 . chapter 21Loved the whole entire story, one of the best PPGs fic. I've ever read. Buttercup rocks! |
 Incy Little Spider 2009-01-29 . chapter 1YOU ARE A GENIUS! I haven't read such an amazing PPG story in ages! People here tend to think to make a story good you have to add romance. You don't. You stick to good old action, horror and general AWESOMENESS! |
 Social Outsider 2008-12-28 . chapter 21Wow!
This was the most gripping Powerpuff Girls story I've seen so far. Can't believe Buttercup went evil but I guess she had to after being abandoned by her sisters.
I mean, Buttercup never really felt at home there and she'll never forgive Blossom for putting the capture of some petty thieves over her sister which led to the scar.
I just loved the action and destruction Buttercup was creating with her ''death-ray''. She revelled in it as well and it pretty much changed everything..
This is really cool and I think you, Yay Ninja Bob, rock!! |
 Deus Ex Procella 2008-12-19 . chapter 21Alright, I read the most recent reviews, saw big names, and figured it was safe to post this.
First off, love the story. I didn't read it first off before because it reminded me of a time long passed filled with "My Favorite Puff is Awesome; Let's Bash the Other Two" stories. Glad I finally decided to read it.
Now on to the review, keep in mind I have no idea what you were trying to accomplish with this, nor do I claim that any of what I'm about to say is 100% accurate. This is just how I see it.
-The Big Review-
I think this is the most mind numbingly brilliant fics ever written for one solid reason: You have deceived the entire reader base.
The use of first person is the most brilliant tactic ever in justifying unjustifiable means. Buttercup in this story is, in my completely heartfelt opinion, 85% in the wrong.
But because hers is the ONLY perspective we EVER see, the reader can't help but accept her biased, narrow-minded, and blatantly ignorant/selfish rationalization for her actions.
Buttercup never in the story questions her sisters actions, or even bothers to get their input on anything. Buttercup just assumes her sisters feel how she thinks they feel.
Buttercup is undeniably the most selfish and arrogant character in this story. She almost makes Him look humble. In fact this is only made more perfect by how much she demonizes Blossom.
Blossom is probably the second best effect in this story. I'll try to explain a little more in the next section.
Buttercup claims her destiny is to destroy the Powerpuff Girls, take over the world, all that good stuff. The story has a very simple plot when you break it down.
Buttercup is the protagonist and essentially the Powerpuff Girls are the big bad, with Blossom being the final boss.
Buttercup's driving force for becoming a villain was that she wanted to beat Blossom, essentially. This is where Blossom is the absolute best plot device in this story.
Buttercup is a complete failure as a villain. With one exception, she never, ever accomplishes her goals (goals related to villainy)
-Buttercup didn't beat Him; Princess beat Him
-Buttercup didn't take over the city; The other villains took over the city.
And the number one most important part of the story, the very bedrock upon which this story derives its power of deception. The ONE significant piece of information that apparently every single one of your readers has ignored:
Buttercup, when actually confronting her, never defeated Blossom. This effectively means that Buttercup accomplished NOTHING in this entire story.
Blossom was the antithesis to Buttercup, her Big Bad, her ultimate goal.
Imagine that Cloud got to the Northern Crater and was killed by Sephiroth. Imagine every single episode of Ed, Edd, and Eddy where they're trying to scam money for jawbreakers. Imagine that in The Dark Knight, Batman falls off the building before he reaches the Joker.
Buttercup was as much as villain as the Eds are con artists. She's an utter failure at it.
The first time she actually fights Blossom, she gets her ** whipped and is saved by Princess.
The next time they fight? Blossom beats the ever loving ** out of her, and Buttercup is almost killed by a car.
This is what I found so brilliant about this story.
You deceive everyone into being sympathetic to Buttercup's ambitions by providing them no other option.
Then you convince them (and Buttercup herself) that she is victorious, when in reality, she's done nothing but fail the entire story.
And finally, you convince them (and Buttercup herself) that good won't always prevail over evil, when in fact every time evil (Jojo) fought good (Blossom), it lost.
I just have to say Bravo. This is one for the ages. |
 senkoed 2008-12-19 . chapter 21really interesting story. cat brought up a few thoughts though. mojo jojo wasn't there at the conception of the new powerpuff girls, so how come cat would be evil too? or it's the chemical x that made two good, one evil and since mojo jojo was the one who caused the accident to happen... ._. mojo jojo and buttercup's father-daughter relationship caused a severe ache to my heart though. really well written on that matter imho. write on~ |
 Tuume 2008-12-13 . chapter 21I read every chapter in one day, though it took me a day to finally remember to review. This entire story was well-written and original. The characters were portrayed well and the dialougue was great; it was just like the actual show. I'll fave and check out the Epilogue. |
 BioDragon 2008-12-05 . chapter 21A very interesting story and read, cool stuff :) |
 THATALLESTPERSONINYAAWORLD 2008-11-07 . chapter 9 LOL
his is so good. My laziness doesn't like me so I get tired like after every chapter.
Your reviews make you sound friendly, but since the story is in 1st person it seems like your really evil. XD
Nice work! |
 Sethian Mackie 2008-10-12 . chapter 21I don't usually read fan fiction any more, but I found this story yesterday and it really pulled me in.
First off, I really enjoyed your story and even as a fan fiction of something I only vaguely remember I have to say your portrayal of Mojo Jojo was brilliant, you got him down pat, great job there.
I have to say however, and I don't mean this as an insult, but if you had just used your own characters and setting, made this story your own, it would have been a brilliant piece of writing.
As it stands, it just a good bit of fan fiction. This could be a work of real, quality fiction if you based it on your own ideas; create your own world, your own characters and give them their own back story and it would really be your own work then.
I'm sorry if this all insults you, but I think you could make this into something of your own and not just a side note in someone else's work.
Best of luck, Andy Mackie |
