I’m having cartoonish week from Hell, but today there was a little boy in the waiting room with an Eevee plush, and I told him I liked his Eevee and asked if he was hoping for any particular evolution.
Suddenly he was too shy to do anything but stare at me and hold out his Eevee, but then his father spoke up and said, “What matters is that Eevee becomes what Eevee wants to be. As long as Eevee’s happy, that’s what’s important.”
So somebody’s doing parenting right, at least.

How is it that I, a Fang fangirl for 23 years, managed to not know about Sonic Superstars until two months after its release??!!! I NEED THIS GAME IN MY LIFE.
Also, I am totally psyched because I have never cared for Nack's characterization in either Archie or Fleetway comics. He's either too stupidly incompetent (the Triple Trouble "adaptation" was painful to read, so, so painful), too evil, or both. I always felt that if the games further developed his personality, it would be something palatable to me. And from everything I've just looked up about his expanded personality in Sonic Superstars material, I'm right! They characterize him as greedy and a crook, but not really evil. He presents as calm, cool, and collected until things blow up in his face and then he gets cowardly and runs. (Sounds like a certain badly scarred blond fellow I love to write for.) He's also willing to work with the good guys (if he's paid for it, lol). He makes up funny nicknames for most characters, like Sonic is Fleet-feet. But he doesn't have a nickname for Knuckles, indicating he respects Knuckles.
I want to role-play this version of Nack now. He sounds so fun! I really, really hope we'll get a figure and maybe even some TV appearances with this characterization.
Finally, justice for Nack!

It feels so good to finally get a fic going again that was stalled for years. Suddenly, after years of drought, the floodgates open and the right words and plot twists come pouring out.
I have written three chapters of The Night of the Magician this week and will soon post a fourth. I took things in a different angle than I'd planned on years ago, but that was because I had to accept what I'd known all along, that the original outline in my blurb made no sense. I do not think Count Manzeppi would deliberately go to extreme lengths to antagonize one of his enemies just when he finally achieved what he wanted. Plus, there wouldn't have been time to do all that plan would entail. I struggled for several days on how to fix the problem with the new angle taken, but I have it now!
Also, it's fun having Malcolm show up to annoy Coley. I must have 5Ds in there somewhere. ;)

The other day my friend asked me if The Radley Bunch is really the name of Radley's gang or if I made it up. I assured that it is indeed the canon name, as well as The Malcolm Crew for Malcolm's.
These, however, are the dub names. I also explained that in the original Japanese, Radley's gang is called The Ramon Group and Malcolm's is The Malcolm Family. What is interesting, I realized, is that the names are opposite to how the gangs actually seem to behave. Radley's sounds more formal and matter-of-fact and Malcolm's more friendly and welcoming. But in actual fact ...

Exhibit A, Radley's gang hangs out in the diner Radley owns (yes, it's his, made expressly clear in the Japanese version by the sign "Ramon's Diner"). They are happy and relaxed and Radley tries to get Kalin to join the festivities. When Kalin refuses and walks out on him instead, Radley is clearly put-out and may even be hurt. But he controls his feelings, has a civil conversation with a gang member, and doesn't once take out his unhappiness on an innocent party. You can clearly see from his expressions that he is upset. If I showed these pictures out of context, I imagine anyone would think he is snarling at this poor kid. But in both Japanese and English, that is absolutely not the case. He looks mad, but he speaks perfectly evenly.

Exhibit B, Malcolm's gang hangs out in the villa Malcolm has. Malcolm gets drunk, rages, and lashes out at anyone who moves. One of the nicer gang members, another young kid, shows concern for him drinking so much. Malcolm reacts by striking him on the head with the liquor bottle and knocking him out! Real nice family there. This is, of course, cut from the dub so I unfortunately can't show it, but it's available in the first Japanese language Crash Town episode and can be watched on Hulu and Crunchyroll.
It's interesting that the dub changes the gangs' names when you think about it. The Radley Bunch fits a more informal, friendly group, as they seem to be, while The Malcolm Crew could go either way. I wonder if they had any real reason for changing the names, such as wanting names that fit them better.
An important addendum to this post: Malcolm's Crew calls Malcolm "Boss." Radley's Bunch calls Radley by his name. From this too, it's easy to see which group is friendlier.
