Overworld Interactions (5D's Tier 2) - Tag Force Special Re-Translation Update! (Project Announcement Post)

Dang, definitely hit the image cap with this one (Tumblr raise the image-per-post limit pls)

So, I actually worked on this overworld text after I finalized my GX 138-140 subs, along with starting on the in-duel lines for a few characters, but held off on posting about it until I got everyone's in-duel lines done, which I just worked on after my GX 141-143 subs were all finalized--just ended up taking just over the month of time I usually give myself for TFSP work because there are so many... lol. (Too many that I couldn't screenshot some of those in-duel lines since I wanted to show off the OW lines I could [rip Jinbei and Demak])

But that said, the overworld text and in-duel stripe textlines for 5D's Tier 2 characters are all done! These were fun to work on and give my take on being a fan of Horoko/TnKP's subs for 5D's, and I did reference the Crunchyroll subs here/there as needed for a second opinion, too.

So, as of now:

Overworld text for 5D's Tier 2 characters--*deep breath* Rua, Ruka, Bruno, Antinomy, Andre, Breo, Jean, Yoshizo, Jinbei, Taro, Dragan, Brave, Harald, Placido, Lucciano, Jose, Aporia, Z-ONE, Sherry, Ushio, Mikage, Yeager, Carly, Misty, Bommer, Demak, Rudger, Rex, Divine, Mukuro, Himuro, and Rally *phew*--is all done! This puts the Story Mode text file's progress at about 72% done; next will be the OW text for ZEXAL's Tier 2 characters, leaving ARC-V's Tier 2 characters; the remaining Tier 3 characters across each series world; the Tournament-related text; and miscellaneous stuff like the Duel Statues. (Side-note: not sure if it was also in TF6, but I love that Z-ONE's sprite hovers up and down when talking with him, lol.)

Their corresponding in-duel "stripe" textlines are done, as well, which puts us at about half of the stripe lines being done. As mentioned in the DM Tier 2 update, characters that are also in Duel Links and/or Duel Terminal will have some new lines for cards in their decks that they have voicelines there for which will be used in the Deluxe version, though to a bit of a lesser degree than done for GX's cast since the 5D's characters overall had a reasonable amount of lines for key cards. (I also fixed a slight bug where one of Mikage's loss lines was erroneously listed in her second-win-line slot.)

I'll also continue to maintain hope that more of the cast gets added to DL, since I'm currently limited to their TF6 and/or occasional DT voicelines to incorporate into the Deluxe version (and as such, while I'll be undoing the duplicate default "I Special-Summon!" everyone has for Synchro/Xyz/Pendulum-Summoning as I did with the Meikyuu Brothers for the base game, I'll likely need to reincorporate that for the Deluxe due to the voiceline shortage). But for now, I've drafted up the voicelines I'm planning to include for everyone, along with notes about lines I'll rip from the show or how I'll edit together some lines as needed to get close to their TFSP lines where I can. That said, this will be an ordeal for Himuro and Mukuro, since I'll have to heavily rely on ripping from the anime given that this was their first Tag Force game and they weren't in Duel Terminal; they were in both Wheelie Breakers and Duel Transer, but sadly they reused most of their WB lines in Transer, so while I'll use what I can from both, well... (I'll have to figure out what to do with all of Himuro's lines for Machiners cards he never used in the anime, too...) (I'd also like to eventually try adding Dark Signer Carly if we get to the point of being able to add characters, but that's a future thing)

I'm still going through the ZEXAL Tier 2 character bios in my on-the-side translations I've been doing whenever I commute, and I just wrapped up a draft for Gilag's the other day.

As a bonus, I've shared some extra screenshots of some unused Partner dialogue; likely left in from TF6, several of the 5D's cast have full sets of dialogue as your Partner (entering a Player or Partner duel, winning/losing/drawing either, entering a Tag Duel together, and winning/losing/drawing) that I also translated, and after figuring out some debugging tricks, I was able to get them displayed, hehe. We'll see if we ever eventually figure out how to add them as Partners...

moodboard: liam x brett x theo (brethiam)

for @theoraekenapperciation day 5: rarepairs - drummer theo/vocalist brett

theo hadn't meant to end up in someone's bed that night - especially not the bed of brett talbot, the pretentious and irritating lead singer of a rival band. theo hated him, hated the way he sounded on stage and how he almost never wore a shirt when performing. those things were less unappealing, however, when brett was shirtless and on top of theo, making sounds that were closer to heaven than theo had ever thought he would get.

what started as a drunken mistake soon turned into an actual flirtationship, shocking the fans of both bands (and their fellow band members) with their newfound "friendship" and leading to rumors circulating online. it all came to a head when brett showed up to one of theo's shows and kissed him in front of their fans, telling the world that theo was his and he didn't care who saw.

if brett's music started leaning towards the romantic afterwards, nobody really commented on it. besides, who wouldn't wax poetic about theo raeken's drummer biceps?

Brett Talbot x Theo Raeken

There's a difference between Theo and Brett, though Brett is unsure what it is. It might be their demeanor or their differing levels of empathy, but there wasn't that big of a difference. They were more similar than people give them credit for.

Headcanons under the cut.

I think I like this one + I tried to do something other than the same dark green like usual lol
