THE NEW AND IMPROVED CASSANDRA CAIN READING GUIDE

Cassandra Cain is the daughter of assassins David Cain and Sandra Wu-San (better known as Lady Shiva), and was raised by Cain. She is an expert hand-to-hand combatant, and able to read body language to the point of interpreting complex thoughts, but learning to communicate better through speech and text.

Mythological Horse Girls

It recently dawned on me that Sun Wukong from Chinese myth and Poseidon from Greek myth have something in common: they are both the god of horses!

1. Background

Sun Wukong

In chapter four of Journey to the West (Xiyouji, 西遊記, 1592), Monkey is invited to heaven to serve as the Bimawen (弼馬溫, “To assist horse temperament”), a minor post overseeing the celestial horse stables (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 1, p. 148). He takes the position seriously, caring for nearly 1,000 horses day and night, making sure they are all well-fed, exercised, and rested (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 1, p. 149). His position gives him power over all horses, even those of mortal stock. Chapter 14 reads:

When the horse saw [Wukong], its torso slackened and its legs stiffened. In fear and trembling, it could hardly stand up. For you see, that monkey had been a [Bimawen], who used to look after dragon horses in the celestial stables. His authority was such that horses of this world inevitably would fear him when they saw him (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 1, p. 309). [1]

Poseidon

He is considered the creator or even father of horses. Hard (2019) explains:

He was widely worshipped as Poseidon Hippios (the Lord of Horses), horses played a prominent part in his cult, and legend even presented him as the father of the first horse. [...] A legend from Thessaly in the north-east, which was a centre for the breeding of horses, represented Poseidon as the progenitor of the entire equine race. For when he had once been lying asleep in that land (where he was honoured under the title of Petraios, ‘he of the rock’), he had shed some of his semen on to the rocky ground, fertilizing the earth and so causing it to bring forth the first horse, Scyphios. Or, in some later accounts, he caused that earth to bring forth Scyphios (and Areion too in one version) by striking the ground with his trident. Or, in secondary versions that were developed at Athens, Poseidon fertilized the ground at Colonos, just outside the city, to produce the first horse, here called Sceironites, or else caused it to spring from the ground with a blow of his trident while competing with Athena for possession of Attica (pp. 126 and 127).

Astute readers will notice that Poseidon's other title, Petraios ("He of the Rock"), and ability to create life from stone is also related to Sun Wukong. You can read more about divine lithic births here.

2. Horse Girls Unite!

I previously thought of a UA where Heracles, guardian of the Buddha, is called in place of Erlang to end Monkey's rebellion in chapter six. And after Wukong achieves Buddhahood in chapter 100, the Tathagata asks Heracles to take Monkey through the Greek World system. There, the Victorious Fighting Buddha would no doubt learn of Poseidon's connection to horses.

I think both would bond over a mutual love for horses, perhaps geeking out about the subject for hours.

Notes:

1) This power was given to Monkey by the Jade Emperor, who gives him the Bimawen post. This was pointed out to me by Irwen Wong of the Journey to the West Library blog.

Appendix XII: Mutual-Aid Arrangements in the Villages of Netherlands at the Present Day

The Report of the Agricultural Commission of Netherlands contains many illustrations relative to this subject, and my friend, M. Cornelissen, was kind enough to pick out for me the corresponding passages from these bulky volumes (Uitkomsten van het Onderzoek naar den Toestand van den Landbouw in Nederland [Results of the Research into the State of Agriculture in the Netherlands], 2 vols. 1890).

The habit of having one thrashing-machine, which makes the round of many farms, hiring it in turn, is very widely spread, as it is by this time in nearly every other country. But one finds here and there a commune which keeps one thrashing-machine for the community (vol. I. xviii. p. 31).

The farmers who have not the necessary numbers of horses for the plough borrow the horses from their neighbours. The habit of keeping one communal ox, or one communal stallion, is very common.

When the village has to raise the ground (in the low districts) in order to build a communal school, or for one of the peasants in order to build a new house, a bede is usually convoked. The same is done for those farmers who have to move. The bede is altogether a widely-spread custom, and no one, rich or poor, will fail to come with his horse and cart.

The renting in common, by several agricultural labourers, of a meadow, for keeping their cows, is found in several parts of the land; it is also frequent that the farmer, who has plough and horses, ploughs the land for his hired labourers (vol. I. xxii. p. 18, etc.).

As to the farmers’ unions for buying seed, exporting vegetables to England and so on, they become universal. The same is seen in Belgium. In 1896, seven years after peasants’ guilds had been started, first in the Flemish part of the country, and four years only after they were introduced in the Walloon portion of Belgium, there were already 207 such guilds, with a membership of 10,000 (Annuaire de la Science Agronomique [Yearbook of Agronomic Science], vol. I. (2), 1896, pp. 148 and 149).

His eyes automatically highlighted that familiar ID "Peerless Cucumber."

Vicious sniping that flowed like a running stream; a cucumber forged of iron.

SVSSS Vol 3 Pg 148

ITS BEEN 20 DAYS SINCE HE STARTED READING

ITS ONLY BEEN 20 FUCKING DAYS

Also he calls Cucumber a masochist which is hilarious

But Airplane's conclusion about Cucumber

In the end he concluded: This guy was just like a woman married to a disappointing husband; she itched to jump on his back and shake him by the neck, filled with love and hate as she simultaneously kissed and spat on him.

SVSSS Vol 4 p 148

That's it. That's the Cumplane dynamic in a nutshell

They are toxic trash and I love it and then

Also he knocks over the ramen as he says "Your mouth says no, but your body says yes." Which...wow. What a set of last words

Also also: the forum wank posted is the most accurate thing ever. It almost hurts how accurate it is

And I want to read that one girls smut

From what I can scavenge, a tornado twins reading list. Mostly for me if I ever want to come back to it, but I decided to put it here in case anyone gets any use from it. Organized in vaguely chronological order;

Adventure Comics (1938) Issue #373 (they show up, piss off the Legion of Superheroes by being better than them, beat them up, brag about their dad, then leave.)

The Flash (1987) Issue #92 (they're mentioned here, this is Bart's origin)

The Flash vol 2 (1987) #114 (Wally meets the tornado twins and convinces them to be heroes after almost dying)

The Flash vol 2 (1987) #148 (Wally and the twins reunite, under less than ideal circumstances. A lot is happening here, honestly, Wally's going through it, but that's not relevant to the tornado twins)

Post-Flashpoint, there's;

The Flash (2016) #26 with an evil, non-canon version of them that Reverse Flash shows Barry and Iris just to torment them, so.

The Flash (2016) #800, they're in Iris and Barry's story. They don't speak, but there's some cute parent-kid bonding there.

And yeah! That's all I've got. If anyone's got anything to add, be my guest.

Edit: a more complete reading list here.

Hi! First of all, thank you for all the hard work with this project!

I have a question about Elendira. She makes it clear throughout the manga that she’s a woman and wants to be referred to as such. But how do other characters refer to her? I’m especially thinking of Meryl’s “A trans woman? She has a nicer figure than me…” (paraphrased) Basically, what did she say in Japanese? I think the official translation has her call El a crossdresser, but if she acknowledges her as a woman her follow up comment comes across as more casual transphobia than ignorance.

This is not a complaint, I’m just curious because El is a favorite character of mine and I’d love to know your thoughts while translating her scenes. 🙇‍♀️

That is a great question, and we’re glad you asked because that is something we did some research on to make sure the right intention was clear.

In the original Japanese text the word everybody uses when referring to Elendira is “ おかま”(Okama.) This is a tricky word, as it is both used as a derogatory term but also used as a term by the LGBT community in Japan itself. It can also be used to refer to a cross-dresser or a gay man, that does come down to context presented. It is however outdated as per today’s standards, but when used in the early 2000s manga it was considered the norm.

Ultimately, the key factor in the word’s intended meaning in the early 2000s comes down how the author portrays the character at hand, and in this vein, we can agree that Elendira is treated with a lot of respect, both from the author and the characters themselves.

Elendira herself uses “ 私” (Watashi) to refer to herself, which is a gender neutral term. However, the way that she speaks heavily implies a very feminine tone. Other characters refer to her by gender neutral pronouns as well, which isn’t uncommon in Japanese in general.

There is a scene in TriMax Vol 7, Chapter 5, page 148, where Wolfwood calls Elendira a man and then corrects himself to call her a woman, suggesting that all characters does see her as a woman and refer to her as such, making all the gender neutral pronouns she/her in an English translation.

So, since the word choices used towards her were generally acceptable at the time of the manga’s creation, and that all characters refer to her as female, it is clear that Nightow’s intention was for Elendira to be a respected figure. In that mindset, we decided to use the term “trans-woman” in our translation, as it is the proper term now.

In the official English release by Dark Horse comics back in the early 2000s, the word they used was “transvestite”, which at the time was the generally accepted word.
