Also I was going through some old files on my laptop and apparently at some point I almost fully transcribed Kino's BTD bonus CD

People who are more active in the DL fandom than I, does the fandom still have up to date translation lists?

I know @diabolikvampire did some extremely extensive lists with translations and analysis posts for all of the boys a couple of years ago (I cannot express how grateful I was for those when I was still posting character analysis here) but I was wondering whether there had been anything similar in more recent years? I know we haven't had much new content since then, but the English-speaking DL fandom was effectively built on the hard work of translators (and if you are reading this and have ever translated any DL content, thank you <3) and I think it would be nice to have an up to date collection of translations/analysis posts for newer fans, especially for when Song of Emblem gets released.

Just reblogging this here in case any of you enjoyed my DL quizzes and are also into LaDS ;)

I finally managed to finish this quiz! I know self-aware AUs are fairly popular for video game franchises so I wanted to have a go at making a quiz based around a self-aware Love and Deepspace AU. I'm definitely not the first person to have this idea but I hope you enjoy my take on it! Have fun and let me know what you get :)

Given that this is the first new announcement we've had in years, I'm going to open up my askbox for a bit in case anyone wants to yell about it with me

[carlatsukinamistolemyhamsandwich]

Anyway, current release dates for Song of Emblem:

27/8/2025 - Sakamaki volume featuring Ayato

24/9/2025 - Mukami volume featuring Kou

22/10/2025 - Tsukinami volume featuring Carla

26/11/2025 - Kino's volume featuring Kino and also apparently Yuuri  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

[carlatsukinamistolemyhamsandwich]

Wait wait wait, I'm going back over the PV and you're telling me that Yuuri is going to show up in Kino's CD (his VA is listed in the credits) but the 9 other dateable characters are no shows agksfjhksdjflksjd

[carlatsukinamistolemyhamsandwich]

To summarise the DL announcements from the showcase:

Digital distribution of the original Do-S and Versus CDs, along with the More Blood CDs

New project: Song of Emblem Four CDs that will feature a song and drama featuring ONE character from each family (Ayato, Kou, Carla and Kino). As far as I can tell at the moment it doesn't look like the others are going to make an appearance (at least definitely not in the main drama track/songs). I think this is what was meant to be released as House of Vampire but they have rebranded it for some reason. It's been so long since House of Vampire was announced that I can't remember the details, I know that the songs were always meant to be sung by one member of each family but I don't think it was ever made clear who would show up in the drama portion? I wonder whether it was originally meant to include more/all of the characters but with all the VA drama they had to change it and thus the rebrand (this is just speculation on my part, Rejet have not said anything about it).

Switch port of Dark Fate and Lunatic Parade (looks like it's going to be a combined port)

Dark Fate and Lunatic Parade seems like a slightly weird combo to me given that as far as I'm aware, there is no switch port for Vandead Carnival and there definitely isn't one for Lost Eden so it leaves two DL games not available on Switch but I definitely don't think you can combine Vandead Carnival and Lost Eden.

Anyway, I'm glad we are finally getting some non-merch DL content and I'm very happy for Ayato, Kou, Carla and Kino fans.

... However this also means Shin is now going to be the only character without a solo song OTL

[carlatsukinamistolemyhamsandwich]

So the good news is that Rejet have not forgotten about DL and we are getting new content. The bad news is that it seems the new content will feature only four of the boys.

[carlatsukinamistolemyhamsandwich]

WELL...

[carlatsukinamistolemyhamsandwich]

Brief summary of the Rejet live showcase announcements so far:

New Carnelian Blood Erosion songs + live

Moshikami switch port

New CD series called OVER NIGHTZ (one of the cast is voiced by Toriumi Kousuke (Shuu's VA))

No DL news as of yet, my guess would be that if there's going to be any, it'll be announced last as it's one of their biggest IPs

[carlatsukinamistolemyhamsandwich]

I'm deeply torn on whether to tune into the Rejet ShowCase tomorrow as on one hand, I'm not terribly optimistic given the years of radio silence on House of Vampire and I very badly need to go grocery shopping tomorrow morning (my fridge currently contains miso, mirin and butter and that's about it). On the other hand, if there is an announcement I want to make sure I have the details as misinformation does have a tendency to spread like wildfire in the DL fandom >_>

I was scrolling through some old posts and found this. Notes wise it's one of my least popular fics but it still remains one of my personal favourites because of all the fun I had with the worldbuilding.

Remnant - Shin x Reader Halloween Special

I got the idea for this pretty much as soon as I saw the undead garden art. Potential triggers for this one include some slight gore and themes of loss, if anyone does need me to tag anything specifically then let me know. Enjoy~

The autumn air was cool to even your frozen skin as you leaned against the railing of your balcony. The sun had long since set, taking it’s harsh golden rays with it and leaving only the glow of headlamps and neon lights illuminating the sprawling metropolis spread out before you. Despite the chill it was a nice night, the moon shone clear in the sky even with the light pollution from below drowning out the stars. 

Usually, on a night like this, you’d drag your most recent mortal plaything out into the town, let them wine and dine on the luxuries your many bank accounts could afford before bringing them back here and breaking them down until they were nothing more than a whimpering mess beneath your fangs.

Not tonight though.

With your eyesight you could pick out the pedestrians milling around the entrance to your building even from your penthouse. The regular businessmen who would frequent the street had been replaced by gaggles of teens and young adults dressed in costumes, faces smeared with pigment. An odd sight perhaps, but understandable given the date. 

Tonight was Halloween after all.

It brought a smirk to your lips to see these humans playing dress up—to watch them pretend to be creatures of the night while utterly ignorant of the true nature of their own world. Of the true meaning of the thing they’d dressed up as a mindless holiday. Of course even the true reason why this day was celebrated even in the human world paled in comparison to what it meant to you. Well, to you and one other person you supposed.
