Are there any characters you can think of (both in FE and out of FE) that were as mischaracterized in the localization as Rhea?

Uh...

Seto Kaiba in the 4Kids dub of Yu Gi Oh?

I can't think of anything right now, but for FE - people more knowledgeable about Fates might have things to say, but iirc we have Effie who is pretty different in the lolcalisation than in the base game, and Xander too?

I think they were more "mischaracterised" in a way that for some characters we're straight up looking at OCs, when Rhage can be seen as "Rhea the DeathEater".

What's more annoying about Rhea is how the mischaracterisation ultimately led to some people (even VAs !) see negatively her character - or react more strongly to her character, like remember the hair trigger temper and one of the usual devoted fan argument about her being "cray-cray and exploding in anger at the slightest provocation"?

Imo, that's because her agressitivity and anger were played up to 11 - Rhea is someone who bakes cookies and grows plants, Yuri killed her soldiers but Rhea had enough "self-control" not to eradicate him on spot, but ultimately find out the hows and whys he did this and came to trust him.

Hair-trigger temper and "cray-cray exploding in anger at the slightest provocation"!Rhea would have had to be physically restrained from executing him on spot. Aelfie telling her "nuh-uh I'm still going to perform weird blood transmutation fuck off" would have been erased too, but... Both Aelfie and Yuri aren't.

Tl;Dr : the lolcalisation didn't only mischaracterise Rhea, they worsened her for ~ reasons ~ and it made a lasting impression on the fandom (VAs are part of the fandom).

This is why I'm always happy when FeH delivers Rhea content, shitting on NoA's!Rhage - even if whoever is in charge of localising the content tries their hardest - and the Halloween!alt is a perfect exemple. If Rhage "doesn't just try she just is" - then why the Halloween alt wonders if she has to learn how to perform a trick because that's what witches does, or is annoyed because Seteth will give her a lecture about "appropriate clothes" later on? Winking?? Rhage isn't playful she is composed - but Rhea is!

Actually, I wonder if the localisation - bar the hair-trigger temper - didn't mistake Rhea for Ashera in her "just is" + "composed" etc etc. Halloween!Mila sounds more playful than Halloween!Rhea ffs!

Is the renkaza a crackship?

nope! on ao3, they're the third biggest kny ship and the biggest kyojuro ship, actually--not that popularity automatically means a ship can't be crack? hm.

the definition of crackship is debateable lol but to me they're not cracky 'cuz the things akaza was saying during their mugen train fight and akaza's human backstory provide a lot of give in terms of connection points to kyojuro.

they're a ship for all the people who love enemies/rivals-to-lovers plots, and ships that involve a lot of physical fighting and/or searching for humanity, which are some of my fave things to look for haha. they can also just be deeply convoluted and toxic when romantically involved, which is its own brand of fun! (tho i personally tend to look for stuff that ends more wholesomely. angst with a happy ending my beloved. 💞)

i will say that while they're not a crackship, the au's where akaza just fucks off completely (like my au comic haha) or where kyo goes all-in on being a demon right away can come off cracky, but i think that's less "crackship" and more "crack taken seriously".

i hope this makes sense!

I love everyone you drew in your Simpson style!

any chance you'll draw the mobsters again?

Thank you so much, it's very much appreciated, especially lately!! ;u;/ As for the mobsters, I definitely want to draw them again, I just need to find some ideas to involve them on their own or with my OCs... We shall see, but don't worry, I adore these guys and will absolutely draw them again someday (as well as members I haven't drawn yet like Jonnhy Tightlips, Frankie the Squealer or even lil Michael! 🥺) In the meantime, have this ♥

The reason why some in the Devil May Cry fandom refer to the Switch ports as a travesty is because the dips in frames on handheld and the input lag (I'm assuming if docked and are using a Bluetooth controller) is a few frames then playing Devil May Cry, especially the third entry as how it's meant to be played i.e, like a fighting game, is very very bad when you're comboing till kingdom come and that's how it's meant to be played.

[go-bonkers-go-foolish]

can you imagine watching a character literally physically drag himself away from the people who love him, repeating "you’re born alone and you die alone", and then watching said character die surrounded by all the people who love him dearly, physically supported by an embodiment of his crew's care for him, held and loved and knowing he was a good person, with a smile on his face, after experiencing sheer joy for the first time in years because of their love and acceptance and care, being shown how much he was loved and how wrong he was about being born alone and dying alone, and then going "um actually this is bury your gays and a cheap unfitting ending for his arc? i'm so disappointed"??? could NOT be me

[mollynoble]

Just used "it slaps" 100% unironically in a sentence. Perhaps I'm spending too much time around the Youth

[j-esbian]

no but like. why can’t i talk to wyll about anything. i can’t even ask him how and why he met mizora lmfao hello???? can i get a basic explanation of his backstory?????? you can ask astarion how he became a vampire and karlach how she ended up in the blood war and gale how he started pondering the orb

even if he just deflects like he did when i asked about his eye, bc im sure it won’t Actually be revealed until i try to get him out of the pact but it should still be an option???

personal tag rant.

[spiderbitesandvampirevenom]

if the post "problematic kinks" anon is talking about is the same one I saw, it was made by a trans woman of color to talk about how being kinky is not just some white girl thing... Whatever they're on about doesn't make sense because it was a Black woman speaking up about how she exists, not some white trans woman trying to invoke twoc to get out of criticism

damn an anon purposefully misrepresenting something on tumblr to try and stir up drama? thats fuckin crazy

More artbook stuff !

This time, about the so-decried plot :

Hmm...

So in a way, if the plot looked like FE1/3, well it was part of the games that inspired the devs to make Unicorn Overlord the game it is!

Anyways, the "character leaves his situation/place to learn and reach a conclusion" is old as fuck, but it works damn well, and I'm reminded of Zestiria where you basically trigger the bad ending if you don't bother playing the game aka travelling around, discovering the plot and learning why the "bad guy" came to be the "bad guy".

Which really pleasantly surprised me with this UO, because even if the "normal ending" has more lines for the character who received the ring of the maiden, the end is still... well, not the best one (and Baltro is still around!) and Alain, acting on his feelings from the first map, aka wanting revenge for his mom... well, the normal ending proves the randos in Alain and Virginia's C rapport convo right lol

Sadly, the devs thought people wouldn't be attached to asshole characters, when they are the one that draw the most attention nowadays (save for Shinon back then, but imo that's because the lord of FE9 is a fan-favorite).

I wonder if the "hearing someone badmouth someone makes you feel depressed" is a mistranslation/GT fail of some "hearing someone badmouth your fave will make you depressed", because a certain fandom has been taking this to heart, and some devoted people who were upset that their fave was "badmouthed" resorted to shitty irl stuff... But maybe that's not it, and the devs legit thought that writing a character on your side that some people would hate would create a shitty atmosphere in the fandom?

(again, everything throws me back to a certain fandom and how certain fans of a certain character were harassed/bullied and/or mocked by fellow fans, and at that, VA themselves which is, uh, completely bonkers, fandom is a place to have fun, not to be harassed)

I liked the "even if they insult each other, I want it to be meaningful", both because I found a lolcalisation goof lol, but also because some trend to make characters swear for anything became tiresome (or maybe I became old).
