a note on asking for updates
hellooo im sorry to have to make this post but i’ve been getting quite a few asks recently that have been asking me to update for kickoff and i just want to share that i don’t really enjoy receiving those sorts of asks :””) it is a part of my blog’s rules to not ask for updates, and it’s also stated that i don’t have any update schedule for my fics, but i will try to make this a bit more clear in the following:
please do not ask me when i will be uploading chapters, i’ve got no clue
please do not ask me if i’m done with chapters or for my progress on them
please do not tell me or demand me to update (yes even saying ‘please’ still feels like a demand for updates to me)
i’ve talked about this briefly on my blog before, but receiving these sorts of asks is upsetting for me n tend to make me anxious about my writing process. it takes me hours of my own personal time to write chapters, but it feels very shallow n disheartening to receive asks such as “update pls bc i can’t wait”…
my simple answer to any of those asks is
i’ve got no clue when i will update! like, seriously no idea. i try not to give estimates bc deadlines or trying to stick to a schedule will only give me writer’s block n anxiety. the only time i’ll give a direct estimate is when i’ve officially queued a chapter. while i’m flattered to know you’re looking forward to updates, i don’t find it kind when ppl pressure me for them.
now if you’re wondering “i don’t think i’ve seen other authors have an issue with this tho 🤔” i really can’t explain why i feel pressured by these sorts of asks, but it’s just how i feel and so therefore it’s valid.
anyways, thank you for your continued patience!! i love interacting w everyone sm and the asks ive been recieving lately have been so lovely n motivational n some have brought me to legit tears i love u guys lots :”) just wanted to bring this specific rule up again because i know i’ve gotten new readers recently, and this rule is really important to me for my blog. thank you!!

Could we get some poly damn hcs(including Gavin) where there is post inversion comfort? Like the FL comforting everyone and everyone being ok because they’re finally safe?? Inversion got me cryin dude :(
Me too dude. Me too.
This starts right at the end of inversion, and then skips to comfort portion later, so it hurts a little before it gets better. Hope you enjoy!
A small apology to all the requests sitting in my inbox. School is exhausting, and usually I can use the weekends to recharge and write, but last weekend I had my last high school music festival, and I had a field trip this weekend. So I've been slightly busy (Also I've started hyper-fixating on Stardew valley again, which sucks, cause at least with my fixation on redacted, I can do other stuff while I listen, but video games are a little hard to multitask with lol))
Anyway sorry onto the head canons
CW: Inversion, shutting down, mentions of injuries, mentions of trauma, mentions of nightmares, grief, guilt, crying
They’re all so scared for the barrier to come down
At least while it was still up, they could hold onto hope that the others were okay, that everything would work out okay
But once it breaks they have to deal with whatever happened
Gavin and the FL weren’t far from the entrance, so they were some of the firsts to get out
Lasko tackled the two of them to the ground when he saw them, refusing to let go
None of them were hurt, just tired, but they ignored their exhaustion to look for Huxley and Damien until Gavin literally collapsed against the FL and Lasko, who had to drag him back to the apartment
Gavin insisted he was fine and could keep searching right up until he collapsed
Once the two of them had made sure he was safe in bed, they went back out
Lasko tried to convince the FL to stay home and rest, but they’re stubborn, and insisted on helping him look for the other half of their family
It takes them a while, but eventually they find Huxley hunched over, sitting on the curb in front of one of the medical tents
They rush over and hug Huxley, checking him over to make sure he doesn’t have any injuries, and Hux does the same to the Freelancer
Once they make sure he’s mostly okay other than a few small scrapes, they ask about Damien
He tells them Damien is in the medical tent, and that he was asked to wait outside
So they wait with him, all of them crouched uncomfortably on the curb
Damien hobbles out of the tent about an hour later
They all stand up quickly (or as quick as they can, they’re all exhausted) and wait for Damien to say something
He just wordlessly walks over and buries his head in Huxley’s chest
The other two are quick to wrap their arms around them, and they have another group hug
Their family made it. They’re all safe
The walk back to the apartment takes a little while
Damien can hardly walk, and Huxley is exhausted
Lasko does his best to prop up Damien, and the Freelancer tries their best to hold up Huxley, but by the time they make it home, they’re all swaying on their feet
The they all pass out as soon as they get into bed, and they hold onto each other like they’re scared the others will be gone when they wake up
Okay, that’s enough of the angst, onto the comfort portion of your regularly scheduled broadcast
The first day they just spend sleeping
But sadly the world moves on, despite all the terrible things that happened
They all have to start processing everything eventually
Gavin just doesn’t want to talk about it
So the Freelancer will just sit with him as he tries to find ways to distract himself
They’ll find him sitting on the couch, staring out into space
They’ll gently cup his face in their hands, tearing his eyes away from the wall and softly kiss his lips until his eyes come back into focus
“I love you,” they whisper, and they get a couple hours with him until he zones out again
Lasko is running around like a chicken with his head cut off
He wants to help, he knows his partners are hurting, but he feels like it isn’t his place to try and make them feel better
He can’t even imagine what they all went through, and he’s so afraid of accidentally making it worse
So he pushes all of those thoughts deep, deep down, and tries to put on a brave face for everyone else
Until one night the FL is up late because they can’t sleep, and they hear sounds coming from the bathroom
So they slip out of Huxley’s grasp (a usually impossible task. Boy has a tight grip) and make their way down the hall
Lasko is sitting on the edge of the tub with his head buried in a towel, doing his best to muffle his crying
He must not have heard them come in, because when they lightly rap their knuckles on the door frame, his head shoots up
“Freelancer! I’m sorry I just-”
They just sink to their knees in front of where he sitting and hold him, letting him cry into their shoulder
“I’m sorry, I don’t know why I’m crying” he apologized, trying to wipe away his tears as they kept forming in his eyes
“Shhh, you don’t have to apologize to me Lasko, I’m right here,” they soothed, rubbing small circles on his back
They stayed like that until Lasko's cries stopped.
“Listen to me Lasko,” the FL said, cupping Lasko’s face. “We all made it. All five of us. We’re all still here, and we want you to feel okay too. You can talk to us my love. We all love you so much”
Lasko started crying again, and this time by the time he was done, it was almost time for them to get up, so
So the FL dragged him to the living room and sat him on the couch while they made two mugs of hot chocolate
They sat on the couch and drank them together until they both dozed off, curled up next to year other, Lasko laying his head on the FL chest
That’s how the others found them the next morning, sleeping on the couch with two empty mugs on the coffee table
Hux isn’t very vocal about his grief
He’ll just linger around in rooms where the others are, like he’s scared to be left alone
He starts to get nervous if any of them are out of his line of sight for too long, especially Damien
A lot of times he’ll just walk up behind one of his partners and hug them from behind while they work on whatever they were doing
Huxley and Gavin especially can be found like this a lot, because Gavin doesn’t want to talk about any of it
So Huxley just follows them all around like a lost puppy, occasionally picking them up to hold them of a bit
Damien is not particularly happy about this, because he just wants to brood, but he’s having a very hard time saying no to his boyfriend
Also Huxley is like six and a half feet tall, so you really can’t fight back against him
And at night when they’re all in bed, even though half of them can’t sleep, they all stay in bed because Huxley is holding onto them all so tight
Have y’all ever read Percy Jackson? Think like the way Percy clings to Annabeth after they get out of Hades. That's Huxley
The thing that brings Damien out of his episode is actually him yelling at the FL
The fun thing about the freelancer, is they’re usually so busy trying to look after others that they don’t take good care of themselves
And the others are usually pretty good at watching out for it, but they’re all just trying to get through everything, so it’s no ones fault
But anyway back to Damien
While he’s recovering, he sleeps in one of the other rooms for a bit, but even after he’s healed, he continues to sleep in the guest room because he doesn’t want to wake any of the others up when he wakes us from a nightmare
Sometimes Huxley will join him. a) because Damien physically can’t kick him out, and b) Huxley is the heaviest sleeper, so the nightmare excuse doesn’t work on him
Come to think of it, none of them are sleeping well, because even if they didn’t have a nightmare, they’ll probably wake up when one of the others do
So Damien is isolating himself as a form of self punishment for not being ‘good enough’
Which is BS of course, but he doesn’t see it that way
Thankfully the Freelancer does, so they try to knock some sense into him
But Damien throws it right back at them when he points out that they’ve been avoiding dealing with their own feelings about everything in order to try to take any burden off of their partners,
Their conversation gets a little heated (heh, pun), but they both calm down and talk through everything together before meeting back up with everyone else
They five of them finally talk through their grief and guilt about everything that happened
After a lot of talking (and a fair amount of crying), they’re all exhausted, and they all pile together in their bed and sleep through the night for the first time in a while

Hakuoki SSL - Hakuo Gakuen Student General Assembly Track 3
well... i hit 300 followers. not sure if it’s a milestone worth mentioning (if you’re one who followed because of the musicals and hasn’t gotten a message, read what it says at the top of my stuff i have page) or not since i can honestly say that i only started this tumblr for myself and everything i translate was really only done for my own sake... and I really have no idea if that number is good or bad for the amount of time I’ve been posting lol.
Still, i’m going to use the fact that this happened as an excuse to post this since i couldn’t figure out where to stick it in my queue since i didn’t want to wait til september to post this lol.
Anyway, this damn track is 18 min long... and i’ll get to the video next month along with the Hijikata web drama (have to push that back cause i got a bit busy with some things). Please note that the text left in bold is when Amagiri’s conversation with Kazama gets overlapped by Shiranui speaking. 
As always, final edits will be done when I get to my subtitle video... need to double check that other video translation and the audio for a few things.
Enjoy~! and do not post elsewhere!
Hakuoki SSL - Hakuo Gakuen Student General Assembly Track 3
Translation by KumoriYami
Hijikata: okay... it's about to start.
Harada: Hijikata-san?  you okay? need stomach medicine?
Hijikata: no need... alright, start/begin.
Amagiri: The Hakuo Gakuen Student Assembly will begin now. All students, stand! .....sit down.
Kazama: Then, start with each club's budget report, Amagiri.
Amagiri: Yes. these are the draft budgets for the various clubs/departments.
Kazama: The arts and literature club, the calligraphy club, and the photography club last year all needed 10,000; the music club which won a competition, in any case, needs a budget of 50,000; the newly established broadcasting club/depart of broadcasting  to buy equipment, they need an increase of 20,000; the baseball team, soccer team and tennis team will be the same as last year with 50,000; the judo club, archery club, track and field team, and also the kendo club, given their achievements from last year......
What......100,000?! Oi amagiri, what's going on/what's this about?!
Amagiri: About this issue...
Kazama: I haven't approved of any of this!! any club/organization/group associated with Hijikata will not have its budget approved!!
Shiranui: Alright/Well, of the budget report was just read, the clubs that weren't named will will maintain the status quo this year, ok? If there's no problem, the draft proposal will be adopted directly.
(applause)
Kazama: Eh...... continuing on [next], regarding the cultural festival that is to be held in october.......Shiranui.
shiranui: hey, hey. But there's nothing much to say since it will basically be the same as last year.
Kazama: This year like previous years, Hakuo Gakuen will hold its cultural festival......
(Kazama voice's cuts out completely while Hijikata and Harada talk)
Harada: I originally though [he'd] poke a basket [probably blow a gasket], seeing him now though, it seems that things are going smoothly.
Hijikata: For better or worse, that's because he's the student council president. But, what happens next will be the real question[/test]......
Harada: Next...... you mean the matter of changing of school rules and regulations?
Hijikata: I don't know what sort of issues the students will raise, though it's better to keep an eye on them.
(aside ends)
Kazama: Read it out/This reading is finished [check video version. Alt: That will be all on/for that/Conclude with that]. Are there any objections to what was raised? If there are no objections then this proposal/motion will be passed/approved. the next topic of discussion will be pertaining to amending the school rules and regulations.
You should all remember/recall, the questionnaire about amending the school's rules and regulations that I had sent out.
Due to he subject of this questionnaire, we solicited opinions on the revision of school rules.
amagiri: kazama-sama, these are the results of the questionnaire.
Kazama: So many opinions were collected, this shows that everyone is quite diastisfied with the current school rules and regulations. I see I see.....
? ? ?: How about cancelling the classical literature class? As someone living in modern times, I cannot help but wonder if there is any real need to learn classical literature. I think the time for classical literature should be spent on something more meaningful. So I propose that the classical literature class be cancelled. ——Proposed by: Anonymous
Kazama: Hm, hahahahaha.... This suggestion/proposal/motion/draft truly is great! However I believe cancelling the classical literature class isn't enough, rather [we should be] abolishing the classical literature [teaching] position. Hm. This suggestion will be kept to discussed later.
Hijikata: oi!!! You've got to be kidding me!! Classical literature is a required subject for entrance exams! Really, it's already that Kazama is thinking about adopting this proposal,  and the one who wrote this sort of proposal is also ridiculous, Souji ! You two, [come] to my office later! [either that or the principal's office.... but im leaning towards 'my' since 我 is in the TL. reword later]
Okita: Wait a moment/sec Hijikata-san, why do you think I wrote that proposal? The questionnaire was anonymous, there's no evidence that says that I wrote that proposal.
Hijikata: Regardless if you try to be anonymous, a proposal for cancelling the classical literature, there's no one aside from you in the entire school who would propose such a thing!
souji: wah, you seem to be really self-confident in that~ However, don't you think that students find Hijikata-san's classical literature class boring, I've seen not a few of them [may be: i don't think anyone i've seen would disagree...? check video later]?
hijikata: you bastard!!!
Harada: Calm down, Hijikata-san! You need to calm down! you should treat this as Souji fooling around.......
Okita: yes yes, I simply wrote down my heartfelt and honest thoughts~ [reword later? check video tl]
Hijikata: Sure enough you were the bastard who proposed this/it!!
Amagiri: Kazama-sama. do you want discuss the motion for cancelling the classical literature class later? I think you should continue with the next proposal. Further discussion on this draft may cause delays.
Kazama: To dare give/Daring to give me advice, you truly are brazen/impudent——I was originally going to be saying that, now you do as you say/that. [check video for last sentence]
Amagiri: I sincerely apologize.
???: Classes are 50 minutes in length, and they're too long! So can they be cut down to 30 minutes? If that happens, then the lunch period can be extended, which would mean more time to eat or even take a nap right? I think that this would absolutely be better!
——Proposed by a hopeful anonymous person [double check audio cuz the text on the video just says 'proposed by: anonymous']
Shiranui: Cutting the amount of time spent in class, that has my support! Kazama, pass this proposal [approve of this]!
harada: oi, oi! Don't you know how bad it would be/about the adverse/negative influence/impact/effect it would have, if you cut down on class time?
Shiranui: Hah? How bad effect it might have?! Shouldn't this be something to celebrate [Not sure but it might instead be: something happy/good to look forward to. check video tl]?
Harada: Hah...... you may think that cutting on class time would mean more time for playing around, but that way of thinking is wrong! Don't you guys know that each semester, exams are regularly scheduled? If class time is reduced, I'm afraid that it might mean being unable to learn everything before taking those exams. If that happens, you'd have to sacrifice your weekend for make up lessons. Is that alright with you?
Shiarnui: If that's the case, it would be better to reduce what the exams cover then!
Harada: In school, there are "learning essentials." If you feel like causing problems, and ignoring the minimal learning requirements, maybe should try being a teacher. If that happens, getting passing post-secondary entrance exams will become a dream. So, Heisuke, this type of draft proposal would be something that we can't approve of.
Heisuke: EH?! Harada-sensei, how do you know that this is something that I wrote?
Harada: Think with your head, who else would have come up with such an idea. To really think that you wouldn't get found out, that sort of thinking is completely incomprehensible.
Heisuke: ergh...........
Kazama: This type of shortsightedness really suits your identities as small fry. If class time is reduced, it'd better to have the classes cancelled altogether. Final exams cannot be considered as something to worry about, if I was writing an exam, I'd be able to get a perfect score even if my eyes were closed.
Amagiri: That skill is something that only Kazama-sama has.
Shiranui: Mah... The outward appearance is [might be] human, but [I/who] don't/doesn't know how many times he's repeated the school year/about the countless times [he's] repeated the school year.
Kazama: Returning to the subject, are there any objections to this proposal? It seems that there aren't, then [we're] moving on to discuss the next proposal.
???: I've heard that many students go play at the rail station/bus stop after school. Although moderate relaxation is harmless, but isn't playing at the game centre and KTV all night, something that goes against the responsibilities that students have? In order to prevent problems from occurring, I think that students should get permission from their teacher for where they go after school beforehand. [^check video tl for this later]
——Proposed by: Saito Hajime.
Kazama: oh.....?  The proposals up until were all anonymous, it seems like draft is different. But, to have the teacher give permission approve of where one can go after school, what a stupid idea.
Saito: A stupid....... idea?! If one person disrupts the moral standards/discipline, it will cause a chain reaction. What's so stupid about a proposal to prevent that?!
Kazama: Just think about it for a little bit. Or is your brain too small so you can't [even] figure that out?
Saito: …………
Amagiri: Kazama-sama. Although it may be bold for me to act as your substitute/in your place, but may I be the one to handle this explanation?  
Kazama: Approved.
Amagiri: yes!...... saito-dono, your opinion does sound somewhat reasonable. Because the act of playing around after school is not praiseworthy. However, after studying hard in school, it is necessary for suitable entertainment to be used as an outlet for accumulated stress. Just monotonously going to and from school will affect the students ability to think independently. Only by enriching their experiences will their minds be able to grow [more literally this sentence is about experience becomes  the soil for minds to grow in... check video tl later].
Saito: But I never said anything about banning after school entertainment/recreation! I only proposed having teachers the approve of what can be done after school!
Amagiri: That will affect the students' ability to think independently. What is referred to as independence, requires individuals who think by themselves and make their own choices [says "to take action"]. I believe, that it would go against human nature, if a teacher was asked about for permission about being able to play in a certain manner [check video tl for this later]. What do you think of this perspective?
Saito: So it was like that. Just as you said. I actually proposed something that opposed Hakuo Gakuen's education policy....... I will accept this conclusion [word I have for this translates to 'reality.' check video tl later], and deeply reflect upon this.
Harada: But even though this has nothing to do with being self-reliant/independent, this sort of regulation is [would be] too harsh/strict.
Kazama: Hrm......is that worthless discussion finally over? Presumably everyone has already become tired of this sort of monotonous talk. Here is some good news. The draft I will be reading now, I will not be accepting any objections and [will be] pass[ing] it right away.
(students mumble in background)
Kazama: Hmph. I understand how you are all worrying about whether or not your proposals will be adopted. Ignorant fools! Get down on your knees/Grovel on your knees before me and pay attention to attention to what I have to say! "My wife must greet me every morning at my home. Although there will be difficulties in the implementation of this regulation, I will compromise in having my her greet me every morning in the student council room.
Hijikata: This terrible proposal, did you really think, that this wouldn't get vetoed! Don't you remember how the same draft was rejected last time!!!
Kazama: That's preposterous...... Didn't you hear me?! I remember saying "the proposal that I will be reading now, I will not be accepting any objections, and [will be] passing it right away."
Hijikata: We don't have even the slightest reason to accept the draft proposed by you! Really, originally I thought that this would be able to proceed smoothly, but I didn't expect for this to happen again. Furthermore, you need to restrain yourself, stop calling/don't call her "my wife!"
Kazama: Hrm~ I have no obligations to listen to your complaints. But....... it truly is a pity for my wife to not be here right not. If she was here, surely, she would be passionately watching me, and blushing shyly while crying tears of joy.
Souji: To be able to misunderstand to this degree, it's shocking to the point of laughter [hilarity?]. The content of this is the exactly the same as last time, and nothing's been changed.
Heisuke:  (Fortunately), ["fortunately is included in the text tl but not video tl. check audio later]It seems like that guy caught a cold, which is she isn't here today.
Harada: It's seem that you can also do something smart. Well done, Heisuke!
Heisuke: hehe, right?
Kazama: Che! Too loud! After I've announced the passing the adoption of these proposals, you all/all of you bastards [check audio] should just obediently behave......!
Amagiri: Then, read out the next proposal.
Shiranui! Oh! That looks pretty good. "I hope for winter vacation to be as long as summer vacation, please give us a month of vacation!" Summer vacation is indeed a month long, winter break is only have a month!
Amagiri: To begin with, the length of summer vacation isn't the same across the country. In colder regions with more snow, summer vacation may not be a month. On the contrary, that region's winter vacation may be relatively longer. Summer vacation was originally established for escaping the hot weather.......
Shiranui: I know, I know! I get it already! Stop talking okay?
Amagiri: No. I am not finished speaking....
Kazama: Amagiri, Shiranui! You've got some nerve to be interrupting me while I talk! This is all your fault that we've strayed away from our next topic for discussion!! The next time this happens/If this happens again, I will not spare you! Remember that/keep that in mind!
Saito: I believe that if it wasn't for your pointless proposals, the current topic of discussion wouldn't have been so derailed.
Kazama: Listen to me, no matter the objections against the following/next draft, I will still implement it! Now remember that and listen carefully!
"Female students must report to the Student Council room immediately after the bell rings for lunch. At the time [they] must also bring a hand-made bento..."
Hijikata: Veto!
Kazama: "Female students must go to the Student Council room after..."
Hijikata: Veto!
Kazama: "Female students must..."
Hijikata: Veto!
Kazama: Hijikata, if you haven't listened to everything that I've said, surely you have a reason for it [/how can you have a reason to interrupt me]?!
HIjikata: It’s because you deliberately targeted her by writing so many proposals, bastard. [alt: "because, bastard, you deliberately targeted her..." will check audio for this later]
School rules are not your toys!
Kazama: You don't understand the obvious! As Hakuo Gakuen's student council president, I am obligated to make the school rules and regulations perfect! Therefore, the current school rules must be amended with only this draft!
Souji: Saying/Having said such beautiful/pretty words, isn't he just making excuses for his wilfulness?
Saito: Because there is only one female student in the entire school.
Kazama: Keh! You bastards! Do you guys mean to do everything you can to obstruct the path of love between me and my wife!?
Heisuke: what path of love......
Harada: It goes without saying that she's not your wife! Having said that though, to say spout such nonsense without backing down in front of everyone, that courage is really admirable.
Kazama: How could I possibly give up! My wife and I have been matched by the red thread/string [of fate]! This profound bond, even if the world stands against me, I will never back down!
[While I usually see 'thread' associated with the Chinese version of this belief, I don't know if the Japanese version of it uses 'string' or 'thread'....]
Shirnaui: What red string...... this is clearly just Kazama's own unbelievable delusions and his own wishful thinking.
Amagiri: Shiranui. You cannot say that/That mustn't be said. there's no telling if a miracle will occur. [reword more formally later]
Shiranui: Ah, if the sun rises in the West and the sky rains red, perhaps that might be true.... but, I don't think it's/that's going to work/it isn't anything but hopeless.
Amagiri: Mm............
Kazama: Heh, you've said enough. No matter what you think, the final decision is in my hands. Amagiri, all the drafts that were just read have been approved.
Amagiri: But... isn't that too unreasonable?
Kazama: What's the problem. I am the the student council president. Even if the [my] methods are unreasonable, no one would dare object.
Heisuke: Who'd accept that sort of ridiculous reasoning?!
Souji: That's right, if you think that you'll be forgiven for doing whatever you want as the student council president, then you're gravely mistaken. Eh.... (goes up on stage) I see.... these were the drafts that were read right?
Kazama: What the hell are you doing bastard?
Souji: Of course doing this! (tears all the drafts)
Kazama: ...! You bastard! You two quickly help me stop him!!!
Amagiri: Kazama-sama. I do not think that those drafts are suitable to be adopted.
Shiranui: I also agree/Agreed. Say, I'm very tired can I go home now(/ Anyway I'm tired can I go home now? [2nd one sounds better])
Kazama: Not permitted...!
Hijikata: Anyway! If you continue being a nuisance, we also have our own ways to respond. I don't care about the power you have/ about the powers of the student council president, but I'd advise you to not look down upon us teachers.
Harada: That's right, Kazama. I advise you to retreat while you're still able. If this continues, those so-called rules won't be able to protect you.
Amagiri: Kazama-sama. Listen to Hijikata-sensei and Harada-sensei's advice right now. This commotion/disturbance is getting bigger, and continuing this may cause others to doubt Kazama-sama's ability as student council president.
Kazama:.....Kuh!...! Heheheheheh.... You guys, I'l remember this! The next Student Assembly, I'll show off all my power to show everyone in the world just who my wife belongs to [check video tl]! Look forward to it!
Souji:...This type of behaviour... is this what they call a "defeated dog's barking"? [if it's not this interpretation.... i'm assuming it means something like 'running away in defeat,' or 'having your tail between your legs'or 'turning tail' since this mentions a dog - 负犬远吠 in chinese. or maybe its 'barking dogs seldom bite' that was the only idiom i found that that mentioned dogs and barking that might have been in JP when browsing. either way, i'll go i'll go double check the other version of this that has been translated later].
Saito: Exactly/Absolutely/(indeed/It is).   I don't want to become like that person. /I don't want to be that kind of person, even if I walk astray/I don't want to be that kind of person, even if I'm not careful. [check video tl]
End
----------
well, this is now officially the longest thing I’ve translated... tho that won’t be the case when I get to Shinsengumi Oni-tan. i dragged this one out for a long time since it just looked like a massive wall of text in nimble... haaah thankfully all the other ssl dramas aside from “Another Chizuru?” are >15min... I think?

svt vocal team: radio host scenarios
radio host au – vocal team edition!
where you’re either a) called in as a temporary replacement, or b) are a permanent host for a late night show.
seungkwan:
buCKLE UP BUDDIES
ok so, the radio show is split into different shifts – day and night shifts, mainly
you take the night shift, because you’re an incorrigible night owl
and because you love chillhop, acoustics. it’s like a match made in heaven, you and night shifts.
you know there’s a radio host, a very popular radio host, for the morning shift – he’s your exact counterpart in that he’s perfect for the morning call: bubbly, loves singing, has a lovely cheerful voice… the list goes on
but because you’re always on the night shift, and you’re always sleeping in, you don’t get to meet this guy, much less listen to his shows.
so you’re like /shrug/
but inside you’re really curious, because… well, you’re always by yourself recording (since you know how to operate almost everything on your own, and all your friends are losers who need their 9 hours of rest)
this one time, however…
you find yourself stuck in the studio patching up some things way after your shift
there was an emotionally attached caller who took up one hour, the sound system went down a bit and you had to fix it while keeping the listeners entertained…
things dragged on until it was, like, five in the morning.
you’re ready to drag your ass off to bed, when the morning radio host enters with a steaming cup of coffee and a bright smile
he doesn’t expect to see you there – usually the studio just runs on autoplay between the hours of 3am – 5.30am
“hey…” “hey, sorry, but i’ve been here since 8pm last night and i need to sleep bye” is what you say before you just collapse on the sofa in the next room.
seungkwan is obviously at a loss but!! he’s also been curious about the night host
when you wake up, seungkwan’s in the recording room working his charm
in fact, you wake up to the sound of his singing. nice, non-belty singing.
there’s a cup of coffee on the table next to you, and it just says “for the overworked night host !! :D”
you thank your past life and good karma and everything and drink the coffee.
“hey, i’m seungkwan, the morning host. it’s nice to meet you for the first time!” he says when he leaves the studio on autoplay.
you laugh and introduce yourself too. but you have classes and you need to change, so the exchange is pretty short.
but! you do leave notes at the recording station for each other after that haha
one time you laugh out loud at the sight of what he’s left for you, and explain to the listeners the whole deal between you and seungkwan
someone demands a collab
a few, ten, maybe fifty people support the idea
so you and seungkwan end up doing an evening special and by the end of it it’s like the best idea ever because he’s so funny??? what???
the notes never stop coming, man
 jeonghan:
i don’t think he listens much to radio shows, much less late night ones, but he does tune in this one time
and you’re in the middle of giving out some advice
it could be anything, literally, like how many seconds to politely laugh at a bad joke
but you’re saying it so gently and soothingly that he actually listens
“so yes, i would think that the bare minimum would be two or three ‘ha’s, just so you can make a quick transition. remember to keep smiling for a second or two after the other person stops speaking, and then you can move on from there! :)”
how do you even enunciate a smiley face
he doesn’t know
but you do :)
and he finds it kind of funny and calming so!! he continues tuning in!
m a y b e once he actually calls
“so, um what do you think about brainwashing people for their love?”
and you’re just O.o but you’re cool
not the weirdest question you’ve heard
(just before his call you got one asking you about how to deal with being robbed of your remote control)
so you talk about it with him on the radio, and he’s enamoured!
what a nice voice! what an understanding character!
“don’t you think we should make sure our loved ones know that they’re loved?” “yes, mr yoon, but brainwashing…”
calls regularly after that, if only to brainwash you into being his dearest radio host
“and whose radio host are you, [y/n]?” “… i’m not saying that on broadcast, buddy” “oHOhOHoho so you’ll say it off broadcast?”
literally you slam your head into the desk
“WHACK” “… [y/n], are you okay?”
your listeners are tired of your banter man (they love it though)
joshua:
ok so the thing is, you’ve just been called in to do this as a favour
you are in  n o  w a y a professional
p sure you flunked public speaking class one time because you were laughing too hard at your own joke
so when you’re doing this show, you’re just uttering disclaimers
“so let’s talk about the newly minted water cooler at the admin block… that is, if it’s a relevant topic. is it relevant? shit, i don’t know. shit, i’m not supposed to curse on the show. shit i did it. shit i did it again.”
it’s kind of a trainwreck
you’re kind of like, if comic sans could talk… yeah.
so when the show ends – you’re in the midst of talking about the conspiracy theory between the moon landing and that ‘that boi’ meme
the end-card (?) song plays and your mic is switched off mid-sentence
josh can’t believe he just sat there and listened through this trainwreck
but he did
(and maybe he’s partially convinced of your theory)
he tunes in the next time, same time, same day, but you’re not there
he’s not sure why he’s disappointed, but at least he’ll get his regularly scheduled content of actual campus news
surprisingly you get called in again – and he’s tuned in
“back by popular demand!” you end up yelling, and his eardrums haven’t been quite the same since.
“ok, no, but seriously, some of you guys wanted me back? haha”
so maaaaybe he might have actually called in to ask about you
and you know about that, so after that broadcast, you get his number from the regular host, and start exchanging conspiracy theories lol
 jihoon: (happy birthday!)
ok so this one is a bit different.
because he’s a music producer, and he’s trying to get his work out there
testing the waters, yknow
and you’re part of the campus radio team, so he arranges to meet up with you
not before marathoning your podcasts so he can um strategically win you over to play his music? i mean, pssh, have you heard the stuff he mixes? he doesn’t need that, but it’s better to know who you’re working with anyway
so he listens, and you’ve got this inviting, friendly voice that really makes people feel like they’re having a conversation with you
SO he marathons, and finds that you’re a pretty chill person and open minded
nice
when you two meet, he’s just finishing up his remix in the café
you walk in, and see him hard at work! wow, what a man
“hey, it’s [y/n] from the campus connection. you must be jihoon?”
turns out, wow, who’d have expected it, you can tell he’s got talent. it’s good. like, really, really good
so you sell his deal to the overall producer of your radio team. works well, the show ratings are hitting an all-time high
and you guys decide to do a mini-interview
“think of the ratings,” your overall producer whispers, hunched over a plan to monetise this tiny radio show
“hello everyone! it’s [y/n] here, and guess who i have with me today? it’s lee jihoon, the producer behind the music you’ve been listening to!”
“so, jihoon, tell us more about yourself!”
his first impression of you was right – is right – you’re really easy to talk to, and the session goes by quite comfortably
he doesn’t even realise time’s up until your overall producer is literally banging on the door and mouthing “out”
“that was really fun, jihoon, thank you!” “nah, it was really easy to talk to you”
do you guys hang out and he brings you more compositions to evaluate?
:)
 seokmin:
okay, this time seokmin is the one calling you in for help
one of his friends (this guy has a ton of friends, don’t even.) mans the radio show, and is in need of a replacement for the night shift
“why don’t you help him out, seokmin?” “have you heard me speak?” “uhuh” “it’s the night show, [y/n]. i’m going to wake people up” “…so you’re saying that i make people want to sleep?” “uhhhhhhhhhhhh no?”
but you help him out anyway – that guy is impossible to refuse
so! seokmin accompanies you to the studio, and he’s just there for moral support because it can be scary doing a radio show for two hours or so
“um, hi, everyone, this is [y/n] and i’m filling in for the regular host!” /muffled whispering in the background
everyone. can hear. seokmin. being encouraging. in the background.
at first, it’s kind of sweet?
but like, after the fiftieth thumbs up you’re just like
“ok seokmin, how about you join us in the recording”
“whaaaa- nooooooooooooo hi everyone, i’m seokmin hahaha”
he is a good night show host, despite what he says
he’s funny, and his sense of humour can be pretty chill when he wills it to. it takes a bit of effort, though, because at first he’s really loud
“so, seokmin, tell us more about that time with the-” “we dON’T SPEAK OF-” “shhhhh”
but yeah, night shift is so fun with him, you forget about the thermos of coffee you brought to keep you awake.
eventually the two of you do get into a somewhat philosophical discussion
“how did we get from cabbages to being happy?” “uh”
and even though he’s pretty happy-go-lucky and always sparkling with happiness, you guys exchange views and you find that it’s not always the case
i mean, duh, but still
“but i think it’s best to try and be happy, yknow” “…yeah, it is”
it’s a pretty meaningful conversation, and part of you is in shock that this didn’t happen in more private circumstances, but that there are at least fifty people listening in haha
you do get to know him a bit better after this, though
and he treats you to coffee the next day for your efforts, so it’s all worth it!

Diva Cup, Day 2
We’re taking a break from your regularly scheduled broadcasting to let me moan and groan. Ah, the ecstasy and the agony of Diva Cup.
Ok, well I got it in. After my first failed attempt I just kind of braved it and voila! 
It was quite painful, again. But it was in, and after an hour of discomfort I was fine. Most of the time, I didn’t even know it was there. No leaks. No panic. I am convinced of the magic of this product.
And then came the time to take it out. 
Diva Cup is cool. It has these markings on the sides to show you how much blood (in ounces) collected. Awesome! I wanted to use this for science. Track my cycle and shit.
About thirty seconds into the removal process, I learned this was not going to be possible. I’ve never given birth before, and like I said earlier the largest thing I’ve ever had up my vagina has been one finger. But if I had to guess, giving birth would feel a little like removing this thing. Except giving birth is a whole lot worse, and now I’m a lot more nervous. 
I swear, I was mentally coaching myself like I was delivering a baby. My first thought? Go slow. Then I was like, forget this, it’s gonna hurt anyway. No breaks. Just go. Bear down, wiggle the thing around and rip it out. The cup popped loose and spilled it’s contents into the toilet. So it wasn’t messy. But boy, was it painful. 
As with my other attempts, I broke out into a sweat and was left a little shaky. My intent had been to wash the cup and reinsert for the night. Lol, no way. I’m going back to my trusty pads. 
I’m going to try the cup again in the morning, mostly because I really want this to work. And I’d be lying if I told you I don’t consider this possible practice for when someone’s dick gets shoved up there. 
Diva Cup is going to work. But it’s gonna be hella painful to get used to.
