It was easy to know that Shadow Milk Cookie was projecting himself through Pure Vanilla Cookie when I was going through the story the first time because what he's doing is like how children recreate their trauma through their stuffed toys and dolls and since Pure Vanilla has the similar traits as him(hetrochromia), but PV still an entirely different cookie, who is the owner of the other half of his Soul Jam.
And now I've recently downloaded the Korean translations.
English:
Korean:
God he hates himself Pure Vanilla Cookie so much.
More Korean to English translations comparisons.
^^ This. The first three lines is him talking about himself, it's not even a joke. He literally lives in a dimension he bends to his will. Living in a sweet lie away from the cold reality.
It is True that PV is Smilk's "other half", being the Truth to his Deceit, the Soul Jam originally being Knowledge.
Korean:
What makes this worse in the Korean version of Smilk calling PV his "lesser half" because how much he hates at his past self.
This entire time, Shadow Milk is talking to/about himself through tormenting Pure Vanilla, making him break down and spiral into existential crisis, just so he could understand what he went through being the Fount of Knowledge. Like one of his lines saying, "Sorry to break it to you, but all this is scripted and staged!"
Pure Vanilla is only following the script Shadow Milk made. THIS is Shadow Milk Cookie seeing Pure Vanilla as HIS MIRROR. His past self.
And with the addition of the new trailer.
This shit? The momentary glance of guilt? Not scripted. He is asking himself. Does he regret everything that led to that moment?(Just as he did?)
There's no answer, and so the show must go on.
Rewatched Shadow Milk's old trailer and I have to include this as well.
He literally let Pure Vanilla Cookie off the strings.
This is like how hunters take rabbits alive and then let them go in a field so their hounds could hunt them for their enjoyment.
Prev. I need this in the thread now because YOU'RE SOOOOO RIGHT!!!
As much as I love how silly the english VA sounds, he just makes me think that he's like a Joker in a blue cookie outfit. Meanwhile, I didn't even understand ANYTHING in the Korean voice over but listening to his voice change from composed to insane is SO eerie. My friend also pointed out the Korean va's voice control is so good, it's unreal. I'm scared but also feeling sympathy for Shadow Milk as a viewer because you can hear in his voice that he was once the the highly worshiped Fount of Knowledge, and then laughs in a high pitched voice can make you feel how utterly broken he is...
Now I just need people to just EXPERIENCE how different the story is when listening to the Korean VA, and the Korean text directly translated into English (using google lens translator lmao).
Thanks to Royal Mike on yt having the Korean VA over english text, you can see the huge change in its story context.
In the Eng translation, Pure Vanilla says "He must've walked a solitary path, but in Korean, he says "Maybe Shadow Milk was lonely?" which is something Pure Vanilla just KNEW this whole time that couldn't even be obvious in the Eng translation. >>
In the Eng translation, he has two different replies to Pure Vanilla calling him twice, and in the Eng va, he just sounds annoyed. But in the Korean, he repeats the same answer, first in a regular voice, second done by SHOUTING IN ANGER.(This part definitely scared me. Jaw dropped in awe even.) >>
I can't not cry thinking about this one.
Fuck you mean Shadow Milk Cookie out right admitted The Truth the he lived the life the same as PV. And in a cold and low voice no less. (IT'S TOO GOOD ISTGGG) And then he goes back to being insane.
So yeah.
Just download the Korean VA and translations to translate it to english yourself to make you feel a special kind of "becoming Worse." 😁👍 I highly recommend it.
SWITCHING TO KOREAN JUST TO TRANSLATE BECAUSE WHAAAATTTTT
HOW COULD I MISS OUT ON THIS?????
