Can I ask why you would say Poseidon or Hades for Helena? I’ve been thinking about this over and over since the new thing came out.

Honestly the real answer here is "I want Helena to be a Big Three child for the drama and because it does genuinely fit her, but she's pretty clearly not a Zeus kid so I need to figure out whether Poseidon or Hades fits her better."

The meta answer is that her general personality fits being a child of Poseidon more but her history and style of vigilantism fit being a child of Hades more. Because both godly parents would fit her, I'm focusing more on which one fits her better for the purposes of the fic.

The slightly more technical answer is that she's going to be a Hunter of Artemis in this AU, so it technically doesn't matter whether she's a demigod or a clear-sighted mortal who caught Artemis' eye, but I wanted her to be a demigod. However since she's a Hunter, I have a little more leeway in how I want to address her history, personality, skillset, and motivations in context of her godly parentage. Hence, the indecision.

Sorry I couldn't provide a really in-depth answer here like I've been able to for everyone else, but it's hard to give a proper explanation when I haven't thought deeply enough about that section to have quite figured it out yet.

I am 100 percent with you on preferring the JP line in that cutscene if only because it does feel more powerful (and his voice is SO soft, which is something that frequently gets completely lost in the dub in general. Mamoru carries a much softer tone overall for Flynn, similar to how Yuri's playfulness and carefree vibe got lost in favor of the dub's aim for a more "cool adult guy").

That said, I was not even aware they left the whistle out!!! I haven't bothered with that sidequest because the outfit is readily available for free as DLC.

While I enjoy having Flynn present in the last battle, I wish they'd just had him look back up at the sky and say that right next to Yuri right before the very end of the cutscene (since imo that'd be the best placement for it). No reason not to stick that back in!!!

But removing the whistle is just an outright crime and I am owed a fee from the people who decided that for the devastation I've been inflicted with.

Big same 🤝

I used to be such a fan of the eng dub but tbh ever since I experienced the original japanese (back when we still called it the PS3 Version lol) I never looked back. The wording is so, so, SO much more layered and leaves little room to misinterpret subtleties and subtext. Like you, I've had many gripes about the localization because sometimes they just plain insert stuff that was never there in the first place - iirc Troy Baker admited that apparently they rushed the dub so hard, sometimes the voice actors themselves were asked to chip in for the translation...he said he loved that (I'll bet), but that might explain why so much of the OG english script was already full of weird phrasings and insertions...add to that the even more sloppy and lazy DE localization and you get only half of the richness of the original japanese.

Also yes Mamo and Tori *are* Flynn and Yuri more than anybody ever could be. Sam and Troy do a good enough job but I agree that Troy may have been directed to play Yuri closer to a traditional "cool bad boy", which is hilarious given how the original Yuri is a twist on that very trope. Unfortunately, Troy gave him this uncharacteristically cold/aggressive edge whenever he talks to Flynn that it makes it sound like he's always annoyed to see him, and it strips their relationship of so much of the softness and playfulness that Tori lends Yuri.

Anyway enough about me ranting because I could go on for about 10 more hours about this issue lmao. Honestly yeah they very well could've rearranged Flynn's cutscene to fit in there at the end, like hell if you can change the entire camera angles of whole scenes you can change that one background, no?? Knowing Tomizawa though that might have been more effort than he was willing to grant this remaster - won't be his last time.

Same for the wolf whistling!! They replaced it with a skit that is just as funny...

....but void of the insane flirting the original had. Idek why they went so far as to change it, it would've been less work to just leave it as it was 😭

good morning? has been lurking i have a steampunk au now but i'm not writing anything up yet it needs more thought to be fully fleshed out i think plus me who equates steampunk w/ my novel now trying to not do that for the au

how's dai feeling after the whole "fighting a god" scenario

to be Completely honest I'm not sure he's quite processed it yet. granted he has pretty fuckin' minimal respect for the Owl/Traveler to begin with, so there's a certain distance in his engagement with the fight—a sort of fighting an insanely powerful being vs fighting god distance that I think probably mostly reminds him of the kaiju arc. (he simply doesn't believe in the Traveler enough to properly conceptualize them as a god)

I also think, given that he didn't actually make a single attack during the fight and instead spent the entire time buffing the party, there's an additional distance from the actual activity of fighting a god, if that makes sense. for him, the situation was more like "ozy fought the traveler and we backed him up" — he certainly went into it assuming it was ozy's fight and he (and the others) were there to support that. but he's always been a big proponent of ozy questioning (and rejecting) the Owl/Traveler, or at the very least making the effort to choose his own path, so in Dai's eyes this was kind of the culmination of that

(I also think Fighting the Traveler and Protecting the Godling have been pretty big neon items on his to-do list that have really blotted out the whole Become Demigods next step and honestly I have no idea how he's gonna process that. assuming he process it at all.)

"I know you must not believe me but I am your son I- I never thought I would see you again-"

Audrey places her hands against his face, looking into his bright red eyes, "Of course I believe you. Any mother would recognize her own son no matter how much he's grown. You may still be an infant in my own world but I see it in your face. Your eyes, your ears, your hair-" she beams, stroking his bright colored locks, "Your are my son. My Estel"

ouuhhhh travelling light episode 16...... hesje and the traveller hangin out........ pls clikc for quality i havent painted like this since. tsv finale. ANYWAY NOTES BELOW THE CUT!!!!

hesje's design is very river otter inspired :]

i gave them keratinous fingers because uhh i dont know its cool :]

i was very inspired by one of my guinea pigs (archimedes, who has the most beautiful rosettes in her fur) for their fur pattern :]

my god i have done that dumbsss square bracket emoticon in every bullet point so far. in my defence this podcsst does make me make that fsce. and its 1:30am

hesje also has darker 'eyebrow' patches because its really hard to make a furred creature emote

the traveller's pins and patches are partly inspired by the podcast's logo!!

their face also took SO MUCH ADJUSTING and i still do not like how it looks. whateverrrrr

the beauty marks on the traveller's face are la coquette and l'enjouée, which indicate flirtiness and playfulness which i think is pretty accurate

oh my god the longer i look at this the more i hate it. ok post button!
