[ translated fanworks. ]
Various little fanwork tidbits I've translated for fun.
Disclaimers:
✮ My moonrunes skills are serviceable, but not fluent. This is all just for funsies, so I haven't spent much time proofreading and double-checking. Everything here should be fairly accurate because I try my best to preserve the artist's intentions whenever I translate, but an unfamiliar kanji or two may have slipped by without dictionary consultation.
✮ Because of the above, I'm doing this mostly just for myself. I haven't asked any artist permissions, so I won't be doing any image-editing / reuploading. All images will be linked to, with text translations.
✮ I doubt this will ever actually be a cause for concern, but I'll say it just in case: please don't repost my translations, or use them for anything. I can't guarantee the quality of anything here, so I'd like them to stay here in their own little dusty playpen.
✮ UNMARKED SPOILERS EVERYWHERE.
✮ Everything's divvied up into two categories: heavy / serious / feels-y stuff and more lighthearted stuff
✮ Almost all Stardust Crusaders stuff. Maybe some other parts will sneak in?
✮ Some of this is gonna be shippy and fujoshi-flavored.No Very very little porn. 
Anything raunchy will be noted in the comment subject.
✮ I don't take any of this stuff as canon, and it shouldn't be reflective of how I RP Kakyoin. It's mostly going here because I wanted a place to store all the little tidbits I've translated for fun.
✮ Here's how I format:
I use first initials for most characters (Jotaro, Kakyoin, Abdul, Polnareff, Dio, etc.) except for Joseph before Jotaro already hogged the J spot.

(Person: thought bubble text)

[ titles / narrative text / large SFX ]

doujin sample, jotaro & kakyoin, 2nd year vs. 3rd year
K: -- jotaro
K: how much do you know about me?
J: why're you asking that all of a sudden ... ?
K: please look at this
[ fwip ]
J: ... your profile.
K: according to that, i'm 17 years old. you're the same, right?
J: yeah. (although jojo6251 said i was 18.)
K: so ... we're currently the same age. what's your star sign?
J: aquarius.
[ for the record they're on joseph's private jet flying from egypt to japan. ]
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga_big&illust_id=46924453&page=3
K: that's right.
K: an aquarius' birthday is between january 20th and february 18th,
K: while a leo's birthday is between july 23rd and august 22nd.
K: for the record, we met on november 27th. and the battle with dio took place on janury 16th.
K: even though we're the same age --
J: we should be ... in different grades. the fake pretending to be you called me senpai.
K: i see.
K: what you say should be the case
K: BUT
K: shockingly, i'm your classmate!
[ jojoveller stands book, "kakyoin noriaki, jotaro's CLASSMATE, while on a family trip to egypt -- etc etc." ]
J: what ... !?;
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga_big&illust_id=46924453&page=4
J: how did that happen
K: actually ...
[ while i had the flesh bud in me and was working for dio, i ended up enrolling in your school by his orders. he had one of his servants make those arrangements for him, but ... ]
D: jonathan's descendant.
D: jotaro ... 17 years old ... a student
D: kakyoin, how old are you
(K: even dio-sama has to use phones, huh)
K: i'm 17
D: hoh ... classmates, then (that's fortunate) [<-- he said.]
K: i thought, of course, that you'd also be a 2nd year student.
K: i never thought you had an early birthday and was a third year ... i never thought i'd end up getting enrolled as a third year student as a result ...
J: they ... did a sloppier job than i expected.
K: well ... i was probably disposable to them in the first place, sso.
J: ...
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga_big&illust_id=46924453&page=5
K: as a result, i'm in a situation where i'm your classmate but at the same time, i've missed out on a year's worth of studies compared to you ...
J: ... well, if you explain this to the school ...
K: i can't do that!
J: why
K: i don't want to admit defeat to the circumstances that dio's left behind! (grrr)
J: ... i don't think that has anything to do with your situation.
K: TO ME IT'S PART OF THE SAME PROBLEM!
(J: if you make too much of a fuss)
(J: your wounds are gonna reopen)
K: and ...
K: if i don't attend school as a 3rd year
K: i won't be able to graduate... with you ...
[ K: i don't want to be your 'kouhai' ]
i don't usually translate donjon samples, but this was a fun look at the weird same age vs. same grade (?) contradiction that araki set up between jotaro and kakyoin.
