Drahý Čumblre,

Zítra je mezinárodní den proti homofobii a Prague Pride bude v Praze prodávat duhové stužky, kdyby jste náhodou někdo šel kolem a měl zájem.

News - If you live in the US, you can now watch all 200 episodes of the original 90s Sailor Moon anime on Viz Media’s Youtube channel for free! Viz also added all of the Inuyasha TV series and movies, as well as more recent shows like Death Note and Hunter x Hunter.

was thinking about the way some people argue vidow is only shipped bc of the viz translation and wanted to do a fun little experiment. in which i tried to add the most ridiculous non romantic dialogue to a scene and test if that makes it not gay as hell. i’ll let you judge for yourself:

and then i just went full sarcasm (sarcasm it is sarcasm it is pointing how silly it is for people to call them brothers when they’re like this, brothers do not act like this. and platonic interpretations are completely okay they’re just often used as a way to push back against romantic interpretation for this ship specifically)

and in between making these i also created maybe my favorite four swords image ever

Been trying to figure out what was happening with Blue and Green in the ShadesOfRed au and got carried away imagining what would have happened if the maidens had sent the fairy to Blue rather than Red. I think in this version she is able to get there and warn him just before he gets frozen, and they end up looking for the others (and finding Green in the desert...?)

FOUR SWORDS JP MANGA BREAKDOWN 1/???

VIZ permanently has infected how this manga is interpreted in canonical discussion in so many ways.

Today i'll talk about when they made the translation error where vio says "shadow wasnt really evil" because in japanese he says

"shadow did all these evil things because, he wanted us to look behind and see him"

(the usage of reflect/look behind is so artistic to me btw cause. Shadow. Yknow)

also the bottom bubble says

"He really was lonely, that guy"

NOT whatever Viz put in, with the whole "he wants us to be Our Family" this misinterprets/twists shadow's original character quite a bit

also Shadow says to Vio after betrayal says

"you're worse than an evil person!!" (or more directly, "worse than a bad person, you are!!!) ((yoda ass))

and not .... whatever Viz put in there (best translation i can give)

VIZ also is just terribly translated and inserted a lot of weird "family friendly american lessons" (EX: He wanted us to be our Family) where there were not any, and took out a lot of meaning and characterization behind certain scenarios, (especially for blue) but thats another discussion...

i did decide to look up the pesterlog and it was rose's second conversation with kanaya! my homestuck trivia game remains strong and i am so happy with myself, hahaha

[fourswords]

actually i think in a post-canon world where shadow is "brought back" (aka made fully corporeal again because at the end of the manga he is Very Much still alive which i thought was Awesome) he should get the chance to actually make proper friends with link. i know popular fanon consensus is that link was never reformed at the end and green & red & blue & vio all remained separate but i think it would be interesting. there's a lot to be said for the friendship that i think would grow readily between zelda & shadow since it WAS her words and her capture by the dark cloud at the end that ultimately pushed him to aid the light (because he was scared FOR her, which is IMPORTANT) but for all that the friendship between vio and shadow was based on false pretenses there is absolutely no question that they DID grow attached to each other, enough that when vio attempted to smash the dark mirror shadow was very visibly upset and after the four links reunite vio is very much...i wouldn't say regretful, because he knew what he was going to have to do from the very beginning (because shadow WAS very much a threat and i don't blame him for it), but saddened. and the thing is! at the end, when shadow aids the four, they respond in kind—it's green who finds "vio" and instantly tries to get him to lean on him and offers him a hand to help him stand. it's blue that notices that "vio" is having trouble turning the sphere and turns it for him. it's vio that pleads with shadow as he lay dying to just hang in there, and it's green who ultimately tells shadow that he's one of them, which leads to shadow finally letting himself dissolve in the light. it is all the parts of link that surround him in death, and so i think it would stand to reason that if shadow were resurrected he should get to properly befriend the whole person whose parts all accepted him in the end. and honestly i think they'd get along great.

VIZ Media just put a bunch of official, complete anime on YouTube for free

Exactly what it says on the tin. Here's the link to the official article from Viz. There are ads* ofc but to be able to watch these for free in HD is a pretty big deal.

Note that they are all Japanese dub, English sub. (The subtitles are not YouTube captions but part of the video itself, for whomever it may concern)

Here's the current list w/ links to the official playlists:

Death Note (All 37 episodes)

Hunter x Hunter (Seasons 1-3, 148 episodes)

Inuyasha (COMPLETE SERIES W/ ALL THE MOVIES)

Mr. Osomatsu (Seasons 1 & 2, 50 episodes)

Naruto (Seasons 1-8, 220 episodes)

Sailor Moon (COMPLETE SERIES)

Handful of other movies, 4 of them are Inuyasha that's already been stated above but includes TIGER & BUNNY, K Missing Kings, Accel World, etc.

I hope this helps someone who's been wanting to watch one these shows! I know most people don't get news from Viz so I didn't want this to just go quietly under the radar because this is actually p nice to have in a world where you either have to pay for or pirate everything. I really hope they add more titles in the future!

*Also, they say ads but I use Firefox w/ uBlock and all the other anti-capitalist goodies and I've watched the first SM episode and gotten no ads so this may actually be an avoidable thing for a lot of us so like,,, go watch some free anime luv lmao

EDIT: I have been informed that this is not available in counties outside of America. Which isn't surprising but is disappointing. If someone w/ a VPN wants to let me know if they can work around this lmk and I'll update here.

EDIT 2: Quote from an Anon:

"Windscribe VPN on my phone worked for watching Viz media's anime uploads! I'm sure there's better and less limited free options but that's the one I found with a quick search to try it out. Haven't tried it on a laptop though so can't comment on it's viability there."

Tysm for letting me know Anon!!

EDIT 3: Via @eunbinppap

#one of protonvpn's free options is the us

That one comment: “Viz Media's one is the most accurate as they are the ones who officially translated it”

[Viz translation mistakes-Part 1]

➊ Official & Fan translation:

Tayuya was mocking Shikamaru, and then Shikamaru explains to her why he is doing that, because Sasuke is the comrade of the Konohagakure.

Viz: No Homos

➋ Official & fan translation: Double suicide

Kishimoto foreshadows a romantic double- suicide between lovers and then Naruto suggesting a double-suicide to Sasuke under the bridge. Since it's shonen, Kishi can't say it, so he can only show it in different ways.

Viz: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that

➌ Official: His heart

Raw: お前は 決してオレを切らず

Romaji: Omae wa kesshite ore wo kirazu

Literal: You never tried to cut me off.

Raw: ずっとオレの心に近づいて来てくれた

Romaji: zutto ore no kokoro ni chikadzuite kitekureta

Literal: (instead) this whole time you came closer to my heart.

Viz & Fan translation: Huh?

➍ Official & Fan translation: Kabuto criticizing Naruto

Viz: who's criticizing whom!?

➎ Official: One & Only [link]

but the fantranslations went haywire [link]

VIZ: 😅

Unfortunately the (viz) translation of these chapters loses the power of dialogue between the characters. And the fact that we lose these nuances through translation is so sad

Meghan was once hated, but now she is merely derided; South Park saw to that. The Sussexes only appeal now is the comedy gold to be mined in the gaping chasm between what they believe they look like (fearless fighters for freedom and justice) and how they appear to the rest of us (two spiteful toddlers attempting to be bosses of a sandpit)

It’s a great article I thought you may be interested https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1928834/julie-burchill-meghan-markle-comic-creation

Archived Link

The article is…biting. There probably isn’t enough burn cream in the state of California! Some more quotes:

It was, ironically, nostalgia for the Diana Effect which paved the way for Meghan Markle in her bid to be Princess of Hearts Mark II; her apparent warmth and informality seemed to echo our lost Princess. But an effect is all it was - a special effect, from a professional actress who liked to boast that she could cry on cue from one eye or both.

and

When I coined the phrase ‘the Grabication’ I thought that Meghan would eventually settle for a few bangles and some voice-over work. I had no idea that what this grim pair were actually seeking was the destruction of the House of Windsor, ostensibly on the grounds of racism, but actually because this was the one chance two mediocre people would get to feel mighty.

and

With the Invictus Games in Birmingham on the horizon, it’s now reported that Meghan won’t show up as security won’t be up to scratch. She overestimates her importance: she might once have merited a crack sniper team, but now all that’s necessary is a few men in high-viz vests to remove any random eggs or milkshakes which the crowd may have stashed about their persons.

Oh look. Everyone can see right through Harry’s ITV interview.

and lastly:

What next for this two-bit hustler with delusions of adequacy? No longer really a royal but abandoned by her old showbiz coterie - from Oprah to the Beckhams – and rejected by the new stars (Taylor Swift and her selfies with the Waleses) she is now little more than an amped-up, damped-down reality star, famous for being infamous.

The world has moved on; in a bitter twist of fate no one saw coming, the Big Beast that was the House of Windsor is now a wounded lion, with the serious illnesses of both the King and our adored Princess of Wales. Meghan, formerly the couture-clad figurehead of the Victimhood Olympics, stands revealed as the world’s biggest cry-bully; it’s now the Sussexes who look like the aggressors, which is a delightful irony, and one they’ll need extremely fast footwork to manage. When Meghan arrived, she seemed so modern; now she looks like a relic from another age, a bored, rich, housewife whose only status comes from marrying well.

As I’ve been saying it all along...well, let me just show you this time.

throughout the manga and the different translations of it, shadow link is always depicted as being afraid of being seen as weak or lesser than the others. in the fan translation, he mentions hating being reduced to being just a shadow, that he wants to be seen as himself. in the viz translation, he says instead he doesn't want the links to mock the shadows, to think they're weak and insubstantial. shadow was always terrified of being seen as an extension of someone else, and not himself, someone capable and strong. he wanted to be acknowledged.
