People like Yui Komori are told they’re not enough every day. They don’t speak up enough, aren’t outgoing enough, confident enough, or badass enough- (as her character is often criticised, despite the fact that the boys would…you know, kill or torture her if she fought back or was verbally aggressive.)- or that their body shape or general personality isn’t appealing.
Despite the fact that she is a victim of abuse and carries the burden of being abandoned by her father- showing a quiet, resolute strength to carry on even in hard times, all I see are comments from people disparaging her choices or attitude. Yui does have strength. It’s just not the type we’ve come to glorify as the ‘right’ type of strength. She’s not a knife wielding sardonic hardass, and not every character has to act that way to be strong or courageous.
Sometimes just carrying on through adversity with the tools you have is enough. In Yui’s case, that is her innate kindness, empathy, integrity and fortitude.
You are enough, even if you aren’t what everyone thinks you should be.
DIABOLIK LOVERS VANDEAD CARNIVAL ♠ SPECIAL BOOKLET CHARACTER INFO: LAITO [ENGLISH]
♠ This is part of the special booklet in the Vandead Carnival Genteiban/deluxe package, consisting of character information and a short interview with the corresponding voice actor. These are quite fun to do, and I haven’t seen these around yet, so I’m planning on translating the other characters’ parts in this booklet as well. Enjoy! ♠

Blue Sky was so good it made me physically and mentally hurt for days. I’ve only experienced that kind of feeling twice in my life. Blue Sky surely is something huh?
Also Chelley content gives me life so if anyone out there is still making Chelley fanart, “Thank You”.
(For real, ever since quarantine started all I can think about is Chelley so please help me.)
