It's almost February, which means it's (likely) almost time for a Pokemon Presents, so please join me in manifesting a new Mystery Dungeon, Ranger, and/or Conquest announcement.

Also the Colosseum and/or XD drop to NSO GameCube.

I'd like to help with some of the expenses in regards to Grammy and her funeral. We're planning cremation and a small get together with close friends and family. If you can donate even a dollar I would be so grateful.

(Look in comments for donation rewards.)

💙 @zivnecromancy.bsky.social · 15d

Thank you for all your kind words. She would've been so amazed (and embarrassed) by how many people are mourning and sending their condolences.

Her name was Mellody. Her favorite color was blue. Red pandas were her favorite animal. She may have been grouchy at times, but she loved us so much.

💙 @zivnecromancy.bsky.social · 15d

She's gone. My grammy is gone. Having trouble processing. I'm sorry.

This is not urgent!! Tho it would help my life a lot.
Any small donation goes a long way, please only help out if you're in a position to. thank u 🥺

Still watching season 4 of GX, but there's an interesting line put in the last episode of season 3 (not aired outside of Japan, so I'm lumping it with season 4). Principal Shepard mentions that Duel Academy was built not just as a school, but to further solve the mysteries of the Duel Monsters (+)

Blake the Break @finalbossbreak.bsky.social · 23d

Welp, done with the English dub of Yugioh GX. It's interesting to me because while I haven't seen the sub (except season 4), the original makes it much clearer that Yubel does not hate or seek revenge against Jaden, they love him. But being sent away and being exposed to the Light of Destruction,(+)

Blake the Break @finalbossbreak.bsky.social · 25d

Almost done with season 3, and it is really telling how much of a compelling story there is here that unfortunately is lessened by the pacing of season 3 and the series as a whole. GX, even in the Japanese, is divided into 3 distinct seasons of about 52 episodes apiece (plus the JP only season 4,(+)

Hmm, you know, I might actually have an idea for scripting out how the post-Battle City duel between Yugi and Joey (where Joey gets back Red-Eyes would go). I'd probably still have Joey lose so Yugi stays the King of Games, but still.

Blake the Break @finalbossbreak.bsky.social · 23d

Of course, for fanfiction, I could go the angle of writing something based off lore of the cards themselves rather than people playing the game. Only now are we getting some of the lore that was previously exclusively released in Japanese guidebooks with no official translations thanks (+)

Blake the Break @finalbossbreak.bsky.social · 23d

Man, all this Yugioh talk has me wanting to do Yugioh art. Unfortunately, a lot of the cards and characters are complex enough for me to be intimidated to draw, and for writing fanfics, I would likely need to write out actual duels which is also daunting.

Back to the GX manga! Not gonna do too much summarizing this time around. Like how the anime shortened duels compared to DM, the manga shortened duels compared to Yugioh Duelist manga, again some even lasting only a single chapter. Unlike the anime tho, they take the opportunity to (+)

Blake the Break @finalbossbreak.bsky.social · 23d

Gonna diverge a bit and talk about the Yugioh GX manga! Unlike the original and Duel Monsters series (the original being the "season 0" not focusing only on the card game and was Japan only) the Yugioh mangas for other series came out after the anime started airing and diverge greatly. (+)

Slowing down my rewatch a bit, which is a bit disappointing because Jaden has the most interesting character arc out of all the Yugioh protags (tho Yusei is still the GOAT). Too bad like 60% of it happens in season 3, and then like 30% in the Japanese only season 4. I mentioned before that (+)

And on the Kaibaman episode, where I realize Jaden learns the same lesson twice in the series. But seeing as how Kaibaman's teaching strategy is to potentially traumatize Jaden even further, it might not count.
