“are ike and soren gayer in japanese” [2023 edition]
the answer is: … not really, but either way, they continue to be slightly differentin Japanese, and why am I here if not to share trivial translation differences :D
hello! I am doing that thing I do where I pop onto tumble, like, once a year!
if you’re thinking I am back because I saw Soren in Engage and wanted to yell a little about it you are 100% CORRECT that IS in fact why I am back!! I am just that excited about Sike content in the year 2k23 and wow now I can go into recent YouTube comments to see people argue about whether or not Ike and Soren are gay. this is so nostalgic I feel like I am back in 2000s era GameFAQs forums
I will be fully honest and admit here that I have not played Engage, because I read through the game’s supports and decided that not only is the writing rather too Fateswakening-y for my tastes, it also seems borderline scared of romance between its characters and why would I Fire Emble if not for the shipping really? why would I. I have to be honest with myself here
(I like Diamant though. he reminds me a little of Ike but he lacks a boyfriend. and I like Ivy, and Goldmary, and Citrinne, and Yunaka is kind of neat too…!)
yes I did play Pokémon last year and yes I do love Rika I just wanted to say this. I’ve never felt this targeted by a fictional character design. (I also cried about the dog) (but who didn’t!!)
whenever I come back to tumblr after a prolonged absence I always look through my notes and I want to personally shoutout: the people who went through my entire sike tag, the people who reblog my dimilix posts over and over, and the people who are still crying about that one close in the distance mix. I appreciate you all!!
