Code July 2024, Day 21: Diary

What's this? A parallel? Yes, yes it is. I know Jeremie and Franz Hopper have diaries too, but I wanted to focus on Ulumi for this one.

[silvertws]

Guys, just saying.

Huntik secrets and seekers??? >>>>>>>

Code Lyoko???? >>>>>>

Lady Oscar??? >>>>>>

Georgie???>>>>>>

God I loved these as a kid.

And also Fairy tail and One piece. ^^

The fucking opening for Huntik is still my favorite to this day.

In Italian cuz I like it better than the English one.

But they're both super cool!

I know the whole lady Oscar one. Still in Italian.

Ughhhhhhhh I need...

after a long break I'm finally back to working on the chronicles, and I'm now up to book 3 chapter 15. the end feels so close yet so far.

I fell off it for a few reasons but mostly because I was getting bored with the story and it felt like a chore trying to get through it. even just doing a single chapter takes a long time (rightfully so, translation shouldn't be rushed) and combined with a plot that wasn't holding my attention, it was hard to motivate myself to keep going. taking a break was good, and seeing the state of the currently available release, the job really needs to be done. but hey, I have until september to make it before the 10-year anniversary window closes (aaaaghhhh)

some spoilers ahead

and it's a shame because I did really enjoy books 1 and 2. they were a nice cosy story about the gang recounting their story and then beginning to unravel the mysteries of the hermitage and anthea's disappearance, all while xana is working to get closer to them and infiltrate the group, being very careful with the information he chooses to reveal so as not to tip them off or give them an advantage.

then book 3 comes along and it starts off ok. but if I could point to the spot where things took a nosedive, I think it was when xana showed up in humanoid form. there's something not good about the characters thinking of xana as this dangerous, merciless, emotionless computer program that's out to kill them, and xana acting all powerful and evil, but then he just starts dumping exposition and giving his enemies useful information seemingly only to move the plot along. it was weird when he was like "I could kill you right now, I don't even care" to ulrich and then they just go on a gay little stroll around the city together and xana helpfully explains more things with an evil smirk on his face.

it's also around that same time the gang gets split up and there are lots more other characters involved, a lot of them either completely new, or existing characters who've been changed a hell of a lot. and I get it but it feels a bit messy, and the darker tone is hampered by caricature characters.

I don't have much of an issue with the overall plot, I think it's mainly just the characterisation that could have used work. also the handling of the abusive parent stuff uhhhhh

anyway I wouldn't say the books are bad, I just wish they were better :B and at least every cl sequel/adaptation manages to get jim right

[falling-pixie]

THE FINAL CHAPTER!! And it is finally finished. The longest story I've ever written and I'm quite proud of myself 😌 I hope CL and OddxSissi fans enjoy! I have about 10 other CL stories in the works but that's the case with most of my ships lol

Never Like That (35410 words) by Falling_Pixie Chapters: 8/8 Fandom: Code Lyoko Relationships: Odd Della Robbia/Sissi Delmas Summary: Odd is forced to make a difficult choice after learning that the girl he has been fantasizing about online is the one person he intentionally tries to annoy on a daily basis. Wondering whether he should end all ties with his online partner or continue their flirting to learn more about how complicated their relationship could get, Odd finds himself falling deeper for his loudmouth classmate.

If it took less than 10 hours for them to get together it is not a slow burn

[tealfruit]

this morning my dreams included a conversation with a bird. her name was Chelsea and, because this was a dream, she looked like somebody made a plush of the Duolingo owl but blue and yellow. in context she was some kind of parrot I think. her owner, an old man, said that had some sort of condition that was causing some cognitive decline but she was still quite smart, it just took her a minute to figure out what to say. she knew a lot about art and poetry.

she told me about some strange performance art piece. I don't remember the exact details, but it was something about a quote from a long-dead artist or author who said something about the things they wanted to make but hadn't yet burning them from the inside. somebody had taken this quote and somehow tied it with AI, and the performance was them burning...I forget whether it was a bunch of AI generated art, or whatever physical form houses an AI program itself.

I guess it was some kind of representation of an artist's unfinished work always being that: unfinished. the machine can't make it for them now that they're gone. it will always be inside them, always burning. pretty poignant message from a dream parrot.

had a dream that I don't remember the details of but part of it was that I was being hunted for some reason, but I had an advantage: a graphic T-shirt with a cool design that made me invisible and easily forgettable. people couldn't see me, and if they weren't directly interacting with me or seeing me interact with anything, they'd forget I was there.

at one point one of the people who were mainly hunting me managed to grab the shirt and almost got it off me but I twisted around so much they lost their grip and instantly lost track of me

[maezanilla]

Hi, this is super random, but on the influential video game post, you mentioned the Code Lyoko game. Just out of curiosity, did you watch the show too? What did you think of it?

Also, your art is actually insane and it's incredible to look at, in case no one's told you that recently.

YEAAH, I LOVED it!! It was one of my favorite things as a kid (I also read all the books :D) and I did indeed make much cringey fanart about it. I was only 12/14 though! I should rewatch sometime.

Also, thank you so much!! You are so kind! 🫶🏻

Best Underrated Shows

Saving Me 

Saving Me is about a lonely old guy who invents a time machine so he can go back to his child self and fix all his past mistakes. I learned about this show from this video titled Watch THIS instead of Hailey's On It by M!n!mal M!ss Art. Despite this video, I was still very excited to watch Hailey's On It. It seemed like a story with a cool premise and cute art style (and ultimately I do really like the show) But Hailey's On It wasn't gonna be out for weeks when I came across this video and this video really sold me on giving Saving Me a try. I never would have even heard of this show without that youtube video which would have been a real shame because Saving Me is fantastic! I hope this show reaches more people and I'm dying for a season 3!!!!!

House of Anubis

Mystery is my favorite genre and House of Anubis is chuck full of it. I used to be obsessed with this show back in high school. I had so much fun coming up with theories and live-blogging my thoughts and opinions about each new episode. Some of the acting & dialogue could be a little cringe sometimes but the story is just so good that it doesn't matter. I've heard that Het Huis Anubis (the Dutch version of the show that House of Anubis is based on) is even better, though I haven't gotten around to watching it yet.

Over the Garden Wall

Those of us who have seen Over the Garden Wall seem to agree that this show is amazing! Which makes it feel a little weird to call it underrated. But it seems like so few people have actually seen it. Maybe because it was a mini series, it couldn't reach the same level of popularity as other shows of similar quality. If you like Gravity Falls, you'll likely enjoy Over the Garden Wall as well. (Wirt is even voiced by the same guy who voiced Dipper!) I would highly recommend anyone that hasn't seen it already.

Dead End: Paranormal Park

I feel like it's pretty rare for animated series to exist in the horror genre for some reason. It truly is an untapped market. But if you love horror and animation, Dead End is the show for you! (Of course it's kid friendly horror since the target audience is children) The two main characters, Barney and Norma get jobs at a haunted park and work together to fight ghosts and demons. Dead End has a super cute animation style, in my opinion, and a very diverse set of characters. I encourage everyone to watch it!

Just Add Magic

Just Add Magic is based on a children's book by the same name. It's a show about three girls who love to cook and basically discover that they can use cooking to do magic. It's a pretty interesting take on how magic works in their universe. It's very fun to watch. All of the actors are also so talented! And one of those actors is Zach Callison (the voice of Steven Universe)!

The friendship between the trio is awe-inspiring! They have so much chemistry. It's a pretty fun watch.

The Last Kids On Earth

Based on a comic of the same name, this show is about a group of kids who have to survive on their own when a zombie apocalypse breaks out. And other various creatures start to threaten them (or even become their allies) It's basically a cute found family story. The premise is pretty simplistic but that's what I love about it. The animation style of The Last Kids On Earth is so beautiful as well!

I'm still waiting for a season 3!!!!!

Code Lyoko

I remember as a kid being aware of this show and thinking it looked kind of interesting (and I always loved the theme song!!) but I never ended up watching it back then because I let peer pressure get the better of me. I remember I met someone who brought up how much they loved the show. When I heard them express that interest, I was at first excited to ask them more but before I had the chance, everyone else started making fun of him for liking Code Lyoko.

I guess it was like the nerd show or something? I don't really know why it was considered cringe to like Code Lyoko but upon seeing my peers act this way, I decided I can't like Code Lyoko if I want to fit in. So, I avoided watching it. But earlier this year, when I was flipping through channels, they were showing old episodes of Code Lyoko! I was intrigued since I remembered it from childhood and thought I'd actually give it a chance this time. And it's actually a pretty good show! It can be slow at times but overall I enjoy it.

If you're like me and avoided watching this back then due to peer pressure, I highly recommend leaving that in the past and just letting yourself enjoy this show!!

Slugterra

Slugterra is honestly pretty similar to Pokemon, except it's slugs! And the entire series takes place underground. Basically, there's a whole underground world called Slugterra, home to slugs, trolls, moles, etc. And all the slugs have cool powers so the people collect & befriend slugs so they can use them as weapons ("slugslinging"). If you like Pokemon, you're sure to like Slugterra!

Detentionaire

I discovered Detentionaire randomly while I was searching through Amazon's library of cartoons. I was looking for a new show to watch and just stumbled upon this one. It looked pretty interesting and I was surprised to see it was a show from 2011. I don't know how I missed this show back then. Idk if maybe it only aired in Canada or something? (cuz it's a Canadian show) But anyways, Detentionaire is such an intriguing show where the main character, Lee, discovers some grand conspiracy and has to try to expose it to prove his innocence so he can get out of detention. It's such an interesting concept. And, as I mentioned earlier, mystery is my favor genre, so I had a lot of fun with this one.

The only problem though is, of course, it ends on a cliffhanger. The show got canceled before they had the chance to conclude the story in a satisfying way (or any type of way) so watch at your own risk.

Catscratch

I honestly don't even remember what this show was about but I do remember enjoying this show and being excited when I saw a new episode was out. I remember thinking it was so funny. I just don't think enough people know about this show.

[purefandomonium]

I haven't posted anything about Code Lyoko in a minute, so you'll never guess what I came across. Aside from some toys and a few books, I don't think there were many materials for the show. I remember when I first saw this I thought it was super neat. It's just a brief pamphlet detailing some stuff from Season 2's "New Order" and although it's not much, I wanted to share. It's from a DVD I picked up randomly back when the show was still airing reruns.

There are a couple odd bits of wording and stuff, but otherwise it was a fun thing to include with the DVD.

[spiraledfaun]

Also, fellow system anon here again - random question in case it’s helpful, what are some of your favourite movies and/or tv shows? 🫂

Vanilla Movies

1. Castle in the Sky (and relatedly, Atlantis: The Lost Empire

2. When Harry Met Sally

3. John Carpenter's The Thing (also Parasite)

the types of things we like largely tend to fall into these kinds of categories

we have more, but again, it's mostly along these lines

Maurice (1987) is a recent favorite, so we'll mention that too (all romance goes into the same chunk, though Maurice does also have Period Piece going for it as well as the gayness)

Conclave is also interesting--just watched tonight!

too many TV Shows to mention, but some top ones are:

Psych, Naruto, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Superstore, The Dick van Dyke Show, Monk, Gravity Falls, Coffee Prince. (can't think of more atm but there surely are)

Newer ones: Devil's Plan, Abbott Elementary, Severance, Jujutsu Kaisen, DanDaDan.

Hypno Related

1. Teen Titans Mad Mod episode. I'm sorry y'all but that is just. primo content for us 😂

2. Code Lyoko. The amount of fucking mind control in that series.....

3. Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Game" (Season 5, episode 6) HOLY JESUS this one is kinky. my gods idk if the writers (or! actors!) quite knew what they was doing, but it um 🤷🏻‍♂️ yeah

4. okay so anybody remember in The Silver Chair when the Green Lady starts hypnotizing the gang? yeah, that was, uh. a section of the book i read a few times. there *is* a movie of it. that i saw. once. as a young child.

can't remember more atm because the genre is so sadly niche, esp for our particular tastes

feel free to suggestion your own! owo

Code Lyoko Chronicles 2.0

The Code Lyoko Chronicles are a series of 4 sequel books originally released in Italian in around 2010. Set a short while after the season 4 finale, parts of book 1 recap a story similar to the TV series but with a number of small changes (there's no RTTP for example) while the gang uncover some new secrets in the Hermitage that set them on the path to finding Aelita's mother, Anthea. But XANA survived and is coming back for revenge, and the gang's investigation into the secret history of Franz Hopper, Project Carthage and the Supercomputer puts the men in black on their trail as well, not to mention the shady Green Phoenix organisation who funded Hopper's work.

The books were published in a number of languages, but not in English - so that's where the fans come in. As one of the first translation projects we did for CodeLyoko.fr, finishing in 2014, the original completed English release was pretty rough. 10 years later, armed with more translation sources, better resources and many years of translation experience, I decided to take another crack at it. And after many months of hard work and procrastination, I've produced a version 2.0 that I'm pretty happy with.

Links and notes on the various changes under the cut!

New translations!

My co-translator Kelsey and I didn't have a lot of serious translation experience when we picked up where Rhys Davies left off in his English translation project, and we were definitely prone to making mistakes. And it didn't help that for books 3 and 4, a few things got lost somewhere in the process of the text being translated from Italian > Spanish > French > English. I revised our original translation and this time I referenced multiple sources to try and make sure I got the interpretation right. It won't be perfect, but it's definitely better than our original attempt!

The second half of book 2 was based on the official French version, which I discovered was slightly condensed and abridged to lower the page count. The new English translation expands the text to restore the parts that were omitted. I also changed the title from The Nameless City to The City with No Name - there was never an official English translation, but I did find a marketing document with the titles listed in English, and that was the only one that differed.

Here's a page comparison with a few changes, mostly minor, but one big change to the context of Odd and Ulrich's conversation. With my apologies to Kiwi for the original mistranslation.

New formatting!

I got better at formatting Word docs and realised I should have the text alignment set to justify. The books look a lot neater now!

Accessibility!

I added alt text descriptions to all the images, and the PDFs all have a proper table of contents now so you don't have to scroll to the end of the book to find the navigation.

(Note I don't have a lot of experience with detailed image descriptions and I haven't done much testing with a screen reader - feedback is welcome from people who know more about it!)

New scans!

The centre of each book has several colour pages with images and text to supplement the story, and some of the original scans were quite small or had part of the image disappearing into the spine of the book. And the only way to fix it seemed to be to obtain physical copies of the books (probably in Spanish), pull the pages out and scan them flat. So I did. And I think they look great. (Black lines added to hide spoilers.)

My original intention was to upload these to CodeLyoko.fr, but I haven't been able to do that yet, so for now they'll just be available on Google Drive. This translation wouldn't have been possible if not for the other people on the fanslation team - not just my fellow translators, but also all the people who worked on scanning, formatting and editing. Special thanks also to Rhys Davies for kicking off the English translation. You can read more about the Chronicles and the fanslation project here on the website. (Yes I still need to revise the translation of those pages too. Someday.)

So yeah, it's taken a while, but I'm glad I can finally put out a better version of these books for people to discover. Enjoy!

Version 2.0 PDFs here! (Google Drive) ePub versions coming soon.

[falling-pixie]

GUYS. UPDATE. I'm almost done and the story has about 34k words now 😭 I'M SO HAPPY!!! I mostly just need to read through and edit but wow. I'm so excited for this.

It will be uploaded to Ao3 when finished! ❤

Fanfic Snippet: Never Like That

Just a cute clip from my current fanfic I'm working on!

Odd x Sissi from Code Lyoko; So far, it's 25k with 6 chapters. ❤

“What are you even doing out here?” she said, leaning back to sit fully on the bench.

Odd smiled. “Well, I have a duty to my dog- I mean,” he said, gesturing to Kiwi who was sniffing Sissi’s legs, intrigued by the new visitor. “My dog has a dooty. If you know what I mean.”

His smile widened as he grinned at his own joke. Sissi looked wide-eyed at his dog and suddenly stifled a giggling laugh.

“I’m guessing it’s a serious duty.” she said, rolling her eyes but finally giving him a full smile. 

Odd felt a warm pulse in his chest.

“Yeah, a really big dooty, considering his size.” Odd patted his knees in an attempt to get Kiwi to jump up.

Sissi laughed a little harder, a light bubbling sound that had never been present when they were around each other. The warmth in his chest crept up to his ears and he looked quickly down at Kiwi, trying to hide the effect her laughter was having on him.

At least she wasn’t sad anymore.

“You know,” Sissi said contemplatively, “I don’t think you’ve ever told me your dog’s name.”

Odd nodded, looking towards Sissi carefully. “You never asked.”

Sissi opened her mouth as if she was going to say something. Odd’s eyes darted to her glossy pink lips a couple of times before he was bombarded with several kisses from his dog.

Kiwi had jumped into his face, licking him as he wagged his tail.

“Alright! Alright!” he said, laughing. “This is Kiwi. I believe you two have met.” 

Kiwi barked in response.

Sissi chuckled beside him as he calmed his dog down. Looking at her again, Odd smiled. 

“Do you want to pet him?”

“Oh!” she said, a little surprised at the gesture. 

Odd was unsure if she would want to be licked by Kiwi but the soft lighthearted side of her was completely distracting. He was on unfamiliar terms when it came to gentle gestures between himself and Sissi. 

He held Kiwi up to her slightly. “He won’t bite. I promise.”

“Well,” she said hesitating, “I really do like dogs.”

Sissi smiled then and her hand reached out towards Kiwi’s head. Kiwi, who would usually bark at her, was behaving quite wonderfully. He sniffed her hand for a moment before letting her rub his ears. Sissi gently ran her fingers through his thin fur. 

“He’s so soft.” she said.

Odd nodded, watching her fingers as they moved against his dog.

“Yeah,” he said, “he’s great for cuddling.”

Sissi nodded and leaned into Odd’s space, giving Kiwi a small kiss on the forehead.

“I’m sure you are.” she said, her voice changing into something he could only consider a dog voice. “You’re just so cute, oh I wish I would have known how cute you were.”

Odd felt frozen in front of her. It was the closest they had ever been to one another, other than throwing back and forth insults. They were so close, even in the spring sun, he could feel the heat radiating from her body. Sissi’s demeanor was strikingly different from the harsh persona she put on in front of everyone. It was a completely new side to her that, frankly, Odd was finding hard not to be entranced by.

Sissi smiled brightly, scratching under Kiwi's chin. She looked up from her cooing and froze as well, finally noticing how close they had become. 

Her smile dropped, only briefly, as her eyes darted around Odd’s face. Slowly, nervously, she brushed her hair behind her ears.

Odd had never felt so completely compelled to kiss someone before.
