I just saw that I was given permission to sing Elisabeth covers with fan translated lyrics...When my friend decides to opt out too...I might do Der letzte Tanz instead...

Die Schatten Werden Laenger translation demo

Unfortunately, I was not able to upload the track directly, but please visit the link to listen and download!

This is our new version of Die Schatten Werden Laenger! Diana suggested “the light of day is fading” as an alternative to the titular line (plus a couple of other lines), and since I have been unhappy with the lyrics in general, I decided to run with it and rewrite most of the song! That said, if there are any lines you preferred from the previous version, please let me know, as my goal is to write the best possible version I can.

In addition, this demo features for the first time my dear friend Katie as Der Tod! We’ve been meaning to have her record for us for a while, and she absolutely rocked it.

CONTEXT: This song takes place in Act II. Rudolf, Elisabeth’s son, is a deeply depressed young man whose mother is never home. When he was a child, Death came to visit him, and now Death returns, offering a solution: suicide. Rudolf escapes Death’s grip by the end of the scene, but that doesn’t last long in the end.

Death, ensemble - Katie K.

Rudolf, ensemble - Diana Paparozzi

I just got into this anime but I ship these two...so hard

Finally able to watch the first subbed episode of Free! Eternal Summer and if I'm honest, I like it. Maybe it's because I'm not comparing it to the original Japanese, or because I'm a lot more laid back with dubs or maybe it's because I'm such a big fan of Vic Mignogna and J. Michael Tatum. I think the script is okay considering how difficult it is to translate and then edit it to make sense and then edit it so the dialogue fits in the mouth flaps and try to make it so it makes sense to Western viewers and less hard core anime fans. Some of it is cringey here and there but nothing too bad in my opinion. The only voices that I'm not fond of are Nagisa and Niitori. I don't know, hate me if you want but please respect that some people like the dub, I prefer the sub but I think I'm going to continue watching the dubbed even though I seem to be the only person who likes it. It's only the first episode and there have been times where the dub gets better throughout the series. But I've never been very strict with dub, I don't tend to compare the English version to the Japanese version and I respect that they do work hard on this stuff.

why do you ship them?

*pulls out binder full of laminated pages and photos, opens presentation on powerpoint, pulls up podium*

I’m glad you asked

[gerardslittleemo]

You know how Clear is attracted to shiny things and felt the need to take shiny things home with him? What if Aoba wore a glitter shirt?

[gerardslittleemo]

Yeah, you’re cute but you’re not Clear petting a fluffy dog

[gerardslittleemo]

Mink caused me to go on a fucking rollercoaster of emotions. Anime: He’s intimidating DMMd: What the fuck? He’s pretty messed up, he scares me. Reconnect: YOU PRECIOUS GIANT ANGEL, I LOVE YOU, BRAID MY HAIR YOU PERFECT OVER GROWN CINNAMON ROLL!!

Day 7: Character/route you initially thought you wouldn’t like, but ended up liking

Happened only in DMMD Re:connect, with Mink and Aoba. 

I expected more beating and stuff, so I really just played this route for the sake of completing the game, but it ended up being my favorite. What a tender, gorgeous ending. (I’m a sucker for romance. ;A;)

[gerardslittleemo]

I was surprised by Mink’s route too, after the things he did in the first game I wasn’t expecting him to be so gentle and so loving, next to Clear’s it’s my favourite route

[scripturamortem-blog]

You're always so nice answering the requests!! *sends you lots of love* This time could you try how the boys of dmmd see Aoba (maybe each one's diary viewpoint)? Thank you btw! (And sorry for appearing so much in you inbox and for my lame english)

Always a pleasure! And your English is fantastic. I had no idea you weren’t a native speaker. I wish I had your language learning skills!

Clear: There are few sights more peaceful than the gentle rise and fall of Aoba’s chest as he sleeps. In these still hours of night he is completely unguarded and exudes the childlike innocence of a person untainted by the tragedies of human life. Namely, the reality that all we’ve come to know will one day be expunged by the hands of time. The weight of our finite existence never crushes our hearts until we find someone we desperately desire to dance with across the sands of eternity. If Aoba’s fate is an ocean wave I am the fixed shore he constantly stretches towards but never quite reaches. We can coexist alongside each other but beyond this life spans an endless dark road; an all consuming and inevitable void that begins at the end of Aoba’s life. He will age and eventually perish while I will remain unchanged. In these quiet moments I watch his peaceful expression and make a silent vow to myself. When he passes on I will immortalize Aoba in my memories of him. I will scream stories of our time together to the galaxies so the stars will burn a vivid reminder that he was born and died and remains, in my eyes, the single most significant event in all of human history.

Ren: It might be strange to say but I never knew the simple act of touching someone’s skin could be so satisfying. I spend most of my time with Aoba fighting the impulse to touch him. I think of running my fingertips across his knuckles as he types or lightly trailing my nose along the back of his neck when he ties his hair up, for no other reason than I can. I am no longer confined to the limits of a form unable to express myself physically. I am free to love him in all the ways my body will allow. Every time our bodies meet, even in the most mundane of circumstances, I cherish it. I often wonder if he can sense my ardent feelings for him when we make physical contact. There is a sentimental part of me that believes he can.

Noiz:  I still have a hard time understanding this guy. The way his words contradict his actions is enough to make an ordinary person insane. But I find it fascinating. Every day I uncover more of the mystery that is Aoba. And every day I find myself trying to become everything I think he deserves. It is difficult - pitting yourself against the impossibly high standards you set for someone you deeply care for. Even after all I’ve done there are times I still don’t feel good enough. Because to me, Aoba deserves the very best. I might not be there yet but I refuse to give up. He saw me when I was invisible to everyone else. I will strive to be the kind of person who is worthy of loving Aoba. And I may never stop trying. Because everyday Aoba is slowly evolving. He will always change and become better than who he currently is. But I would happily spend a lifetime trying to catch up.

Koujaku: The past is never far behind me. Its marks are etched into my back reminding me of how close I am to the sins of yesterday. But Aoba has always been my salvation. He turns my gaze from the dark past and inspires hope for our future together. A day with him quells a day of distant pain. It is in him that I find the strength to love despite my abysmal feelings of unworthiness.

Mink: What does he see when he looks at me? When I look into his eyes I can only see the chains he broke around my heart. When we sit close I can hear his soul whispering to mine even if no words are spoken between us. I am more interested in the voice his soul speaks than what spills from his mouth. It is when he is quiet that he speaks the most honestly. His words have a tendency to get lost in the rampant flames of his emotions but when he is still I can understand his heart perfectly. And he is starting to decipher my silence as well. When we do talk I lose myself in the cadence of his voice. Not because of  its natural tempting allure - but because following his voice led me out of the darkness and reacquainted me with me own humanity. He is as precious to me as the sunlight is to the creatures who lack the courage to walk in the moonlight.
