I am once again in your ask box (idr if I was anonymous last time or not, old me might have been a coward) on my hands and knees thanking you for your translations. I usually just lurk in the Shinjiro tag but noticed you hadn't popped up in a while and came across your Ken anthology translation. Ominous ass drawing of nemesis, I love it. Ken politely sitting with a cute smile like that one reaction meme saying he likes black coffee, no you don't you adorable traumatized little bean. Anyway, you're still my hero, buh bye 💫
AGHHHH, TUMBLR SUCKS, THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME WRITING MY ANSWER
Ok, my apologies (why didn’t I just write I’m sorry lol), it’s just that I haven’t been wanting to answer you for a while, and I keep writing a long message expressing my gratitude and appreciation while talking about extra stuff I plan on doing in the future
But every time I pour my heart into the message I’m writing to answer you, every time I’m about to send it, Tumblr just crashes and everything gets restarted. Which genuinely makes me want to cry sometimes 🫠🫠
At the very least, I want to thank you deeply for your continued support and your wonderful words! ❤️❤️ Messages like these truly pushes me to continue posting, especially when thinking about how it can make people’s day 😉☺️
Anyway, the reason I haven’t been posting a lot lately is because, as I stated before (I think), I have been very busy lately and this will probably be the case till the end of the month. I’ve barely had time to chill, and when I do have time to chill, I just have a hard time forcing myself to work on translating. And it’s not like I hate working on stuff like this or anything, it’s just hard for some reason. And then there’s the fact when I do get to working, a single page can take from 45 to 90 minutes of translating and editing, so I barely have time to finish anything 💔🫠
Hopefully I’ll be more active next month, since it’s August, or as I’d like to call it, Shinjiro month lol. Anyway, so I’ve been planning on doing something different this year, like perhaps posting at least 1 Shinjiro related thing here on Tumblr. And that post will be pretty random, whether it’s a translation or drawing or writing, I’ll just make sure to at least post a Shinjiro related thing. I just hope I commit to the idea though
Also one of the things I plan on doing for August is translating a P3 novel chapter about Shinjiro’s early days in SEES (it’s from Shinjiro’s perspective). And it’s surprising to see that no one’s actually aware of its existence when it’s so good. It also explains stuff like why the Senpai trio weren’t able to progress much in Tartarus. And it’s generally a fun read. It also has illustrations in the chapter, here’s the chapter’s cover illustration:-
I know, the scan itself isn’t the best, and I plan on rescanning the image. Anyway, I think I talked a lot, but that’s not even close to previous messages heh. But yeah, the Shinjiro posting isn’t gonna stop any time soon, trust
Again, absolutely thank you for the amazing message ❤️ Sorry for the little outburst at the start of the reply, it’s not aimed at you at all but at Tumblr, and I’m absolutely delighted I got the chance to just talk in this message, and I hope we get a chance to properly talk and discuss stuff sometime!
