Guidelines for requests & commissions
As a rule of thumb, Diabolik Lovers-related translations are always my priority and I sometimes write for fun.
I do not take requests for writing (short stories, headcanons, reacts, scenarios and the like), though paid commissions are negotiable. Please reach out through DM if you’d like to discuss a paid commission! Thank you for your understanding ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
When requesting/commissioning a translation, please be aware of the following:
☽ Please provide the source materials which you would like to have translated. I do not have the financial means nor the time to personally buy all of the drama CDs or tokuten for all 13 characters, for example, so if you want something translated: please include a link to the source materials. These could be links to audio files on SoundCloud and BiliBili, or links to Tumblr posts with scans of short stories or interviews and the like.
☽ In all cases, it is your own responsibility to ensure that the source materials—particularly fan-made artwork and scans—have been acquired with full permission from the original poster. If the original poster has NOT given you permission to repost or reuse/translate the materials in question, I will NOT translate them.
☽ This probably goes without saying, but I do these translations for fun—I enjoy doing them, but I am also busy in my daily life. I will try my best to finish and post the translation as soon as possible after your request, but I give no guarantees on how long they will take.
☽ If you would like me to translate Japanese-language materials from other otome franchises or pop culture related things, please consult with me and I’ll see what I can do!
☽ DO NOT REPOST ANY OF MY TRANSLATIONS ELSEWHERE, IN ANY FORM WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING VIDEO), OR TRANSLATE MY WORK TO OTHER LANGUAGES WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.
Sometimes I think about Kou Mukami and how he's never really gotten to belong to himself.
As a child, hands that grabbed too hard, pulled too fast, lingered where they shouldn't.
They're softer now, cleaner. They smell like setting powder, hairspray, and a hint of desperation.
They lift his chin. Straighten his tie. Brush glitter from his cheek. A hand settles at his waist to turn him just a little. Someone's breath ghosts over his neck as they adjust the microphone at his collar. Fans reach for him whenever they get close enough, desperate to touch someone they've convinced themselves they know.
The hands are gentler now.
I'm just not sure they've ever stopped claiming him.
Todos llevan el mismo uniforme pero una cosa que me parece genial en cuanto al diseño de personajes es cómo lo lleva cada uno, esos pequeños cambios que los hacen tan reconocibles. Peeero, en este caso, Reiji viste el uniforme como debe ser, perfectamente abotonado, sin ninguna arruga y hasta con guantes! ✨
Esto describe perfectamente su personalidad: Reiji es aparentemente caballeroso, educado y muy correcto pero detrás de esa fachada se esconde un lado sádico y una ironía especialmente mordaz 👀
PD: y pensar que cuando vi el anime por primera vez no me gustaba nada, y ahora está en mi top cinco jajaja. Es que mi primer favorito fue Shuu y como tienen sus conflictos pues no estaba siendo muy justa con él u.u
Me apetecía hacer un dibujito de esta chica tan adorable, empática y admirable! 💗
PD: Me encanta su canción y todo el merch que han sacado de ella con distintos outfits~ 🥰
