August 23, 2023 - You thought the rogue translator chapter ended in 2020? Try again.

On November 24, 2020, the Spanish dub came out and the chaos it brought literally shut Tumblr down for a while [x]. All because of Dean's line "y yo a ti", which reciprocated Castiel's love confession.

Almost three years later, on August 19, 2023, a Tumblr user posted that she had managed to contact the Rougue Translator who had stated that whilst he didn't remember it completely, if the translation had had the line of reciprocation, it must've been in the script as he wouldn't have added it otherwise. The OP stated that she is still trying to track down the dub director [x] [x]. Whilst not otherwise confirmed and seemingly in opposition to previous information, this brought back the speculations and the memories from the insanity of November 2020 [x].

As the original post is a couple days old, it's possible that the news just hasn't spread until now. Alternatively, the catalyst for the trend could be completely unrelated - the landing of an Indian lunar probe on the Moon earlier today [x] [x]. This was naturally announced on Tumblr with the Destiel meme, and the result can be seen on the trending page [x] [x]. Even if this news didn't directly cause the trend, it definitely helped.

"y yo a ti" you'll always be famous

The fact that I’m making DestielGate memes nearly 3 years after the fact while both Putin and Destiel are trending number 1 on Twitter and Tumblr…

How does Supernatural continue to happen

[luxshine]

hi! i don’t want to be a bother, but could you give a quick timeline on your interview of the “rogue translator”? i’ve seen people say this info first dropped in 2021, but i was really active in the fandom at that time and this is the first i’m hearing about the interview/what the translator said in it. i guess i am just very confused at the moment😅😅😅

They may be confused with the interview I did with Dean's Latam Voice Actor which was a little after The Episode aired, and then another written one with Castiel's voice actor. Both of them were adamant that there couldn't have been a rogue translator for how serious we take our dubbing, but it was not a confirmation that the script said what we heard.

Three months ago, I could talk to him, and while he didn't remember exactly how it went (as this was years ago, he's not a fan, was not aware of the whole controversy that happened and has translated a TON of other series since) he told me that he never adds anything that is not in the script/video he is given to translate.

Hope that clears some confusion, but I am still hunting the dub director to have everyone's stories for you guys.

Happy slimeriana reunion, guys!

Audio quality decided not to eat, but whatever. Enjoy "mon chasseur" (from Cas's perspective after the end of Supernatural) It's a pretty boring still, but that is my real voice filmed in Logic Pro on a Mac.

Lyrics:

I've called so many times

Just to hear silence instead of your voice

You held me close in your arms

Begged me to stay when she was there

to take me away from you

I'm trapped in the cold and the dark

It's pitch black inside of her heart

I did it to save a child

I see it hurt you as well

You're my hunter, my lover

When worst comes to worst; when push comes to shove

I'll be there for you; mon chasseur, mon chasseur

I wish I could turn back the time

Make a different deal instead of agreeing to seal myself away

In all of my hallowed life

never once did I think that I'd fall in love with a mortal like I did

With you

I'm trapped in the cold and the dark

It's pitch black inside of her heart

I did it to save a child

I see it hurt you as well

You're my hunter, my lover

When worst comes to worst; when push comes to shove

I'll be there for you; mon chasseur, mon chasseur

I'll be waiting, waiting, longing for freedom from this black abyss

Until the day I could see you again

Your beautiful apple green eyes staring into my ocean blue

I knew it was you from that very first day

My soulmate, my hunter, my lover

I'm trapped in the cold and the dark

It's pitch black inside of her heart

I did it to save a child

I see it hurt you as well

You're my hunter, my lover

When worst comes to worst; when push comes to shove

I'll be there for you; mon chasseur, mon chasseur

Happy LATAM dub (Y yo a tí, Cas) day

[drfrankensteinvsthequeerborgs]

comparing Dean's face when Cas tells him he loves them in 12x12 when there's still a fighting chance vs Dean's face when Cas tells him he loves him in "Despair" really does highlight the microexpressions in 15x18, yeah he's uncomfortable and trying to keep it together in both but 12x12 he's tuning Cas out a bit to think about how he's gonna obliterate the bastard that hurt him, whereas 15x18 there's nothing for him to do but listen, in this essay I will--

In my Spanish class we were assigned to write a love story…you can imagine where my mind went

Hi! Sorry it's me again 😅 Any updates on the latam dub situation? Or any venting or sighing you want to do?

Hi,

OMG I think you missed my last update about it :(

Unfortunately, in April this year we got the sad news that Adrian Fogarty (Aka. The Supernatural dub director from seasons 12 (ep. 250) to Season 15, died of a heart attack at the VERY young age of 55.

With this, the only person who could tell me for SURE what the original said and why we got "Y yo a ti" is gone, since the translator, Bernardo Lopez, told me he didn't remember, and Dean's VA, Guillermo Rojas and Cas's VA, Raul Anaya, both confirmed that the one with the last word about the adaptation of the scripts was always Fogarty.

I am still trying to schedule an interview with Mr. Lopez but given his huge amount of work, it may be a futile effort as he may have forgotten details. And while Fogarty's widow may know something, I think it's VERY distasteful to go to her with these kind of questions, even if she's a voice actress and director herself, at any point of time.

So all we have is what I've been telling you all along, what Rojas and Anaya told us in interviews: Mexican Dubbing doesn't change lines that will change complete plot points and relationships just for shit and giggles. IF the line from Dean was "And I, you" that means that the script everyone was working from said something akin to "And I love you" and not a "Don't do this, Cas" (Especially as the second version takes longer to say and thus would leave more space for more words, and not just and "Y yo a ti".

Sorry I couldn't give more info. And please, lit a candle to mr. Foggarty so that his afterlife is a lot more pleasant than a Chuck-run heaven.
