Hooboy (positive). The memories really get you, the reverse of this (going "wait a second" about the dub) is in fact how I started asking questions that led to the creation of this blog. And the Marufuji/Truesdale brothers are a very good example of that! I think that one flashback in episode 7 shows how the dub and sub can tell different stories based on the same footage (or at least 90% of it), and both can be compelling if handled right.

If you don't mind me taking this chance to editorialize a bit, Twitch has an official Yugioh channel that usually runs the dub but recently started streaming the sub for DM, GX, and (two seasons of) Arc-V. (There's also a channel just for streaming Yugioh subbed in English, and more in other languages!) Since I learned about this last week I've been running it on and off in the background when doing less intensive work. And the Twitch chat was pretty interesting to peek in on while the GX sub was going, because a fair number of people previously only knew the dub and had similar experiences to you. I saw some "Wait, this was different in the dub" or "Oh this plot point makes more sense in the sub" or but also a lot of love for the dub, and it was really a reminder that different fans can have such different experiences with the same anime.

There was also a lot of excitement over season 4, which of course dub-only viewers wouldn't have seen, and when season 4 did start streaming it became a lot of people's first experience with GX's famously undubbed season. And without going into spoilers, an interesting thing I noticed was how some people would theorize (jokingly or not) about how 4KIDS would adapt or censor certain plot elements if they had dubbed season 4. I think that speaks to a real curiosity and exploration of the differences between sub and dub, and of the reasons those differences exist. The curiosity that drives this blog comes from the same place.

(No I didn't advertise this blog in the Twitch chat. I feel like there must have been a rule against that, and it would have been extremely tacky besides.)

Cassandra Cain is the daughter of David Cain, infamous fake psychic and scam-artist. Cass has, much to her chagrin, inherited his ability to "cold read" people, and was a child psychic star for years before running away. She's sworn to avoid "psychics" and the "supernatural" ever since.

But one day, she stumbles across Stephanie Brown, a girl who receives real visions of the future, but can't convince anyone. But everyone knows Cassandra Cain, The One Who Is All, is a psychic.

To help prevent their joint-shitty fathers from doing evil, Cass and Steph join forces to out-scam the bad guys and save the day.

Hi! Yes, there's still a chance you could be reblogged!

Please bear in mind that while we try to reblog as much as we can, there are a LOT of participants for Whumptober, so a LOT of works that could be reblogged.

🥀 favorite angst quote from a published work

No, no, it wasn't her fault. She didn't do anything. That was his jealousy talking. How moronic, putting the blame on someone else when it was clearly his own fault for not trying to spend time with him more. Hey wait, wasn't it also his own idea to be around him less? Stupid. Idiot. Loser. Failure. Mistake—

from my p4 fic :)

🌷 favorite sweet quote from a published work

“Sunny…” She was really trying now, though. He should take that to heart. “Did I…make the right decision?” One more look at her. She’s crying. “You did.” “...I’m glad you think so.” The red light turned green. The van drove on, leaving the boy and his mother’s guilt and regrets in the dust.

🍎 favorite angst quote from a wip

Something was getting him to panic out of nowhere, though. Not panic in a “screaming into a pillow in his room” kind of way, but rather panic in a “sitting in the comfort of your room with your mind screaming at you” kind of way. Except his mind didn't have anything to scream at him for.

i don't really have anything too angsty going on in yurushite's draft but i had fun writing this quote today. even though it's not much. ehe.
