Happy birthday to me~

[kiuolo]

So! Last monday, on May 14, it was my birthday! *cheers* I'm now twenty years old! I... I am no longer a teenager. Huh.

Anyway, I did a lot of really fun stuff for my birthday! On the 12th, which was a Saturday, I went out to eat at one of my favorite restaurants with my friends and family, got to eat ice cream cake, and then saw the movie the

Hey, sorry it took me so long to reply! I've been spending the last few days with my friend at her new apartment and haven't really had the chance to get online. ^^;;

And are you kidding? Like it? I loved the picture you gave me! When I saw it, I immediately messaged my friend on MSN and was like, "OH MY GOOOSH LOOK WHAT I GOT AHHHHHH!" Hahaha.

Anyway, I would love to translate things for you~! I wasn't quite sure what comics you wanted translated off of Hari's site, so I just picked one and translated it for you. ^^ Keep in mind, I'm still learning so this isn't perfect, but I think I pretty much got it. >D



Yuugi: Atemu onii-chan, I’ve constructed a deck // Let’s duel!
Yami: Aah, let’s do that!
Yuugi: I’m going to win, Onii-chan!
White box text: Of course he’ll go easy on him
Yami: Aibou sure is strong, huh?
Kaiba: Atemu!!! You bastaaard! // What do you mean you’re going to lose to a duelist other than meee!!



Label: Door
Kaiba: Duel-(it says other things, but it’s hard for me to make out since the speech bubble is obscuring it)
Yami: MIND CRUSH!
Text by the kuribohs: We cannot show this
Yuugi: Onii-chan, what did you just do? (Small text in bubble) Huh… We’re going? (<--Really unsure about this one)
Yami: Don’t worry about it! // Let’s go take a bath!

I hope you liked it! Some of it was really difficult because the text was hard to read in some places... x.x

If there's a comic in particular you want me to translate, just tell me and I'll do my best! ♥

I actually really like Hari's art, but I do agree that she has some really graphic doujinshi. xD I've seen one from her where Yuugi and Atemu are doing it and Yami can only watch. I was just like... Daaaaaang. Haha. I... I do kind of want the one of hers where Yuugi is wearing the Dark Magician Girl's outfit, though. o///////o

Good luck with your exams~! I'll be cheering for you! ^^ I actually just finished mine a few weeks ago, so I feel your pain.

[saitoki]

Damn, that short comic was so cute, poor Kaiba. In Hari's diujinshi, sometime Yami appear to be a bit much like pedophile/sex addict XD.

I'm really curious about the Ancient Egypt AU, especially the pharaoh/slave and the one they are brother, there seem to be some plot and they are just freaking long. XD If you gonna translate them, probably you should post them on a post so everyone else can read them too XD

I'm trying to concentrate on my exam, but my hands just keep straying on the laptop for fanfic and drawing. Dx Must resist. D:

By the way I read your fanfic and left a review, XD I'm really curious about how it will turn out.

[kiuolo]

Yeah, I agree. I mean, just look at Yuugi's outfit! So adorable. And Kaiba really picked the wrong moment to barge in through the door. xD

Oh, I remember looking at that doujinshi of hers! Okay, I'll see about translating some of it. ^^ If I remember right, it was pretty long so it might take me a little while, though. And see, I'm not sure if I should post translations of Hari's doujinshi for everyone to read or not. On her site she requests that we don't translate and distribute her doujinshi, and I don't want her to find out and feel upset... If I just translate them for you, though, I think it should be fine~ Maybe I'll just post it to my journal and friends-lock it so I don't have to make a huge comment.

Which, by the way! I finally figured out what the small text I was unsure about in the previous translation says. xD The one right after Yami mind crushes Kaiba. And now I'm headdesking. Instead of "Huh… We’re going?" Yuugi says something like, "Mind... What was it you were saying?" Hahaha. Sorry, the text was so small on that part I was having trouble figuring it out at first.

Well, I can't say I blame your hands for straying! Drawing and fanfiction is much more fun than exams. xD You can do it! When do your exams end?

Thank you so much! It makes me happy to know you read my fanfiction and that you were even my very first reviewer for it! :D I hope you like the next chapters, as well! If all goes according to plan, it's probably going to get a little dark in just a few chapters. Of course, that probably shouldn't be too surprising since you know my weakness for evil, possessive Yami. xD I am a very predictable person.

[saitoki]

Oh right, I forgot that bit, probably you could F-lock it then? I mean for such a long doujinshi and you have to translate it just for me to read, it make me feel really guilty D:

My hand is still straying, I'm painting a puzzleshipping picture right now, god bless me. D: The last exam is on 15t June,it's still a long long wait. I hope I could get 3 or 4 chapters done during summer break. You saw my doujinshi, I planned it to be 14 chapters, gods, and according to my plan each chapter will get longer and longer.

If you get the next chapter up now I would be happy~. Just kidding, I'm the queen of slow update myself. XD And I won't mind dark fic because of dark Atem, it's my fave too, as long as nothing too bad happen to Yugi I'm fine with it <3. A totured!Yugi fic I stumbled upon recently(and regreted reading it immediately) totally broke my heart Dx

[kiuolo]

Yeah, that's what I'll probably do. ^^ And nah, I don't mind translating things for you! It gives me practice, which is very helpful. I just found out that my university doesn't offer any Japanese classes other than the ones I've already taken, so now all I can do is self-study. So yeah, any practice is appreciated. xD

Wow, are you really?! I can't wait to see the picture!! I swear, you draw some of the best puzzleshipping stuff... *0* I'm sorry to hear you still have a few weeks until your exams are finished up! That too long if you ask me. It only took me a week to finish all of my exams because of how my university operates. o.o And I am so ridiculously excited for the next chapter of your doujinshi! 14 whole chapters...! That sounds like a lot of work, but it's like music to my ears. Hehe. I am a doujinshi addict. I wish you the very best of luck with this long doujinshi! If there's anything I can do to help you out, feel free to ask! ♥

And if it helps any, I just got two more puzzleshipping doujinshi in the mail that I will scanning and sharing with everyone. >3 They're really interesting. I've only had the chance to skim them, but it looks like they're about everyone after they've been reborn again. Every so often Yuugi gets flashbacks to his past life, and it's mostly sad flashbacks. ;-; Like of when Atemu left for the afterlife, and when they had their final duel right before that. I was just like... *sob*

I'm working on the next chapter to my fanfiction as we speak! ^^ Hopefully it won't be too much longer before it's finished. I say 'hopefully' because I was really bad about taking months to update the last fanfiction I wrote. xD If I'm lucky, that won't happen with this fanfiction and it'll only take maybe a week. And aw, I think tortured!Yuugi is enough to break anyone's heart. ;-; I hate to think of him being hurt like that.

[saitoki]

there, have a look (unfinished X_x,I will probably continue it another day)


The pharaoh and the angel? XD drawing cliche' picture is fun.

There is a reason I only write/draw AU stories, it's because it's so hard to make happy story in canon setting with Atem leave in the end. Dx

Really, I'm sooo excited. XD wonder what evil possessive Atem would do. And about tortured!Yugi, I had seen review telling the author to keep torturing him and don't stop, I had to wonder if that reviewer have anything again Yugi. Poor Yugi is always the target of torture angst fics, I love him too much to bear reading those stories. DX You could call it my low angst tolerance.

[kiuolo]

IT'S BEAUTIFUL! *0* Wow! Just...! Wow! The colors are so warm and nice, and their expressions are spot-on! If it's not even done it, I can't wait to see it when it is! It looks perfect to me!

I completely agree! The canon universe is amazing and I love it, but Yami leaving is just too sad. It's impossible to have a happy ending in that sort of situation. ;-;

Someone actually wanted Yugi to be tortured?! D: Nooooo! I swear, I feel so bad for Yugi sometimes. Just watching him get beat up in the anime was bad enough for me, so it's hard to take too much of Yugi being tortured. I can kind of do it if I know he'll be rescued in the end, but even then I'm just like... Yuuuuugiiiiiii noooooooooo *le sob* I want to go into my laptop and help him or something.

[kiuolo]

Hiiii~ I know it took me forever, but I finished translating one of Hari's Ancient Egypt AU comics for you! Sorry it took me so long. I had a hard time reading a lot of the kanji. Pixelated handwriting is not easy to read. x.x

Plus, after translating I was unsure if you really wanted to read this because, well, Yuugi is tortured pretty heavily in this. ;-; I was practically crying for him. So if you don't want to read this, that's fine!! I won't be offended or upset or anything, because I know how hard it is to see Yuugi go through things like this. *cries*

Warning: tortured Yuugi, an uncaring Atemu. Yeah... Stop now if you want! I will translate the one where they are siblings later, which isn't quite as bad, I think.





Atemu: You’ve reached your limit?





Atemu: Our faces are similar now that we’re near… // Peasant…



Yuugi: Ah... // Ah...



Atemu: Good! So you want to hurry to the end…



Yuugi: Hau... // Ah...



Yuugi: Ah...
Atemu: Answer me, why did you approach me?



Yuugi: Ah!



Yuugi: I just wanted // to be friends with you... (small: Haa... // Haa)











Atemu: Only what is necessary... // (okay, I can’t get this kanji for the life of me. x.x Something like, “Blade and shield, knowledge and ________, the body…")



Atemu: You don't need to be // my friend...



Atemu: However, I really do like your body



Atemu: Now, I won't hurt you



Atemu: I'll be careful



















Atemu: The moon this evening is nice



Yuugi: Yes...



Atemu: Is it okay to love your body?



Yuugi: Yes...





Yuugi... T^T Whyyyyyy? My heart was bleeding for Yuugi during this whole thing. I can't believe Atemu could be so heartless! ;-;

That last look we see from Atemu, though... I can't help but wonder what he's thinking...

[saitoki]

I knew how heatless Atemu is in that doujinshi, ;_; but I wanted to know the story behind it, like why they do something they did and what the role of Yuugi is, because Yuugi seemed to be more than just a sex slave.

I've read full 4 parts of it and all the extra pages, and this seem to be an Ancient Egypt pre-canon story.There were a part that Isis got a vision of future, where two shadow look like Yami and Yuugi stood in front of the gate to the afterlife *cough*Ceremonial Battle*cough*. There was also a part where the Egyptian Gods appeared and talked to Atemu after he raped Yuugi, and then he raped him again in front of the gods (yeah, sick, but I wonder the gods and what Atemu talked to them have anything to do with Yuugi ).Or when Yuugi wearing a harem outfit with an amulet of sort and can move freely through the palaces. I also wonder what is it with the apple, is it because Yuugi offer the apple to the Pharaoh that he got to that mess?

Atemu is a total ass in that story, but the story is intriguing and cruelly realistic. I wish to draw stories with that much depth, but I don't think I could ever go to the world of too much cruelty and violence. T_T

Thank you so much for translating it! now I understood some part of it! I must have been tiring to look up all those Kanji Dx, once I tried to look up those words to put into a translate program, but gave up because I can't figure out how the hell to look those words up @.@

[kiuolo]

Phew! I'm glad you're okay with it! Like I said, I was wondering to myself for a while if I should tell you what they're saying because Atemu is so uncaring and heartless. But I figured if you were okay with my fanfiction, you'd be fine with this. I'm happy I was right!

If you want, I can work on translating the other parts, as well! I don't know how long it'll take me (I'm working on three different fanfictions right now and somehow the pixelated handwriting is even harder to read on the other parts. x.x I didn't think that was possible...), but I can do it! >3 I actually really like this story. As you know, my weakness is dark!Yami, so... o//////o

Anyway, it was no problem! I was happy to translate! It gave me more practice. If you're having problems looking up kanji, there's an extremely useful site I can give you! Seriously, if you ask me, it is the very best and easiest place to look up kanji. I love it. I don't know what I'd do without the site. *0*

Here it is: http://jisho.org/kanji/radicals/

You just click on the radicals that make up the kanji you're looking for, and it gives you a list of different possibilities! I usually combine it with this site

http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C

to tell me what different words and phrases mean. =D

Hope it helps!

found this on tumblr, I think this is the best way to describe the guilty pleasure. :3

Yes please!!! I want to know the story so bad and my brain cant take in all the shapes that is Japanese x_X. Thanks you for the link btw, I think they would be helpful later when I'm in the mood of learning Japanese @.@ (don't know when that would be)

[kiuolo]

That picture explains my feelings perfectly!! It really is a guilty pleasure, and I just can't help myself. o///o That picture is completely, 100% accurate. Ah~

Alright, I'll work on translating it all for you! ♥ It's a really good series! I really need to buy some of Hari's doujinshi. I'm really starting to fall more and more in love with her stuff.

Come to think of it, how many languages do you know? =o I hope you don't mind me asking. I'm really curious! You type English pretty fluently, but I think I remember you saying somewhere that it's not your first language.

[saitoki]

I only know two languages, my native language (Vietnamese) and English. My English is not that good though, I had only taken it seriously for five years,and if I speak I doubt you would understand what I say. xD

BTW look at this video I found.Yami and Yugi are making out on the bed! I have no word @.@, why haven't I heard of MMD animation before O: It seem that you could make similar video if you have right program and those modeled characters downloaded.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7VJkbBA44U&feature=related
Now I'm looking up those MMD things DX, got distracted from doujinshi again.

[kiuolo]

That's awesome!! I hope I can become as fluent in Japanese as you are in English! Right now I'm okay at reading Japanese, but it's harder for me to form complex sentences. And don't even get me started on how bad I am at speaking it. xD I have a good friend who's fluent in Japanese, and whenever I try to speak Japanese to her over Skype I just end up embarrassing myself. Hahaha.

THAT VIDEO. ^q^ I think I almost got a nosebleed. Ehehehehe. I cracked up laughing when I saw that girl in the window doing pelvic thrusts. xDDDD Thank you so much for showing that to me! I need to look up this program, too!! I can't believe I've never heard of it before now! I want to make Yami and Yugi make out on a bed...!!

[saitoki]

If you make similar video, you have to show it to me! XD I think I'm giving up on it, I can't get the Japanese on those program for the life of me, and I cant find the model (because they, again are from Japan, and I cant figure out those Japanese pages even with the help of google translate), 3D modelling program also freak me out, it's too complex for my brain (I wanted to model a naked Yugi and Yami o///o).

[kiuolo]

I wish I could make a video, but it turns out MMD doesn't work on a Mac. ;-; I did some research and I found MMDAI which does work on a Mac, but when I downloaded it I couldn't get it to work. It kept shutting down as soon as I opened it. *cries*

Dang it! I want to create Puzzleshipping videos! ;-; I have no luck, it seems.

(And omg naked models of Yami and Yugi? o///o Yessssss)

I am watching this to cheer myself up because I can't get MMDAI to work. xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWSRrzDCDkA
