[ 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.

comic, jotaro & kakyoin & polnareff, yamato nadeshiko
** "yamato nadeshiko" is the ideal japanese woman; someone quiet, shy, feminine and well-mannered, kind of casually refering to a "rare specimen"

P: oh look, it's another stray cat. there's a lot of of them around here.
P: i heard islamic countries have lots of cats around, but there really are a lot of'em.
P: speaking of cats, you know how everyone in the world is usually a dog person or a cat person. jotaro, which one are you?
J: don't be dumb, they're both cute.
J: kakyoin, what about you.
K: i guess i agree with jotaro.

P: you liar! whenever jotaro's around you aaaalways pretend to be* a yamato nadeshiko** type! i bet you don't even actually like animals!
K: p -- pretending to be a yamato nadeshiko?!
K: what're you talking about, don't say something so easily misunderstood!
J: isn't that fine? i like yamato nadeshikos.
P: so he says!
P: good for you, you pretender!
K: i'm telling you i'm not pretending!

K: believe me, jotaro, i'm really not pretending to be anything in front of you anything.
[ smirk ]
J: aah, i got it, kakyoin. you're just a yamato nadeshiko.
K: jotaro ;;;
P: so, which is it really?
K: well ... i do think they're both cute, but if you asked me if i'd want to take care of one or the other, not so much ...
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga_big&illust_id=46336323&page=14
J: i wouldn't really wanna take care of them, either. i don't like having to pamper things.
J: i'd prefer something like fish.
K: fish do sound nice. something like an aquarium makes for an attractive interior decoration, too.
K: ... it's not like i was pretending to be anything just now, either!
P: yeah yeah, yamato nadeshiko, yamato nadeshiko.
K: POLNAREFF!
J: pffft
