Comte Election Story, 6th Anniversary Event (JPN 2023)
I managed to get Comte's collection story during the 6th year anniversary event in the JPN version of the game. As usual, my translation skills are rudimentary at best, so this is just a rough/general sense of the contents. Rest of the translation is below the cut:
Sweet and lovely, our everyday life is irreplaceable. After becoming a vampire, I’ve lived with him forever like this. I seek out more and more of the man I love than anyone else--
Comte: Good morning, MC. You’re up very early today.
I went down to the dining room a few hours before dawn--only to find Comte nursing a teacup gracefully at one end of the table.
MC: Good morning. I managed to wake up somehow…how about you?
Comte: Actually, I just got back.
When I asked, he told me that the host of the party started talking to him all night, and they didn’t part ways until after midnight.
Comte: I was going to finish this cup of tea to unwind, and then try to rest til noon.
He runs a hand through his freshly washed hair and brings the cup to his mouth in a series of elegant gestures that makes me fall in love with him all over again. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve been up all night, but my heart readily starts beating faster.
Even Comte seems to notice my reaction…
Comte: …looking at me like that, are you seducing me?
Comte's eyes narrowed mischievously and he left his cup behind to approach me. A beautiful beast gazed at me as if to take aim at his prey, and he drew me in with supple hands.
MC: I didn’t intend it that way but…it’s true that I'm captivated. Your damp hair and lovely gestures are so sexy that I’m at a loss…
Comte: Saying such a thing…you’re a naughty woman, MC. Even though I tried to quell my ardor with a cold shower and hot tea...I’m glad to hear it, even though I’m far from calm.
When I raised my head--having looked down in bashful embarrassment--I can see burgeoning in Comte’s eyes an indisputable, feverish desire…
MC: Ah, mm…
His soft lips playfully brushed against the nape of my neck.
Comte: No one else would be awake at this hour…though we could be interrupted any moment. Make sure to keep your voice down.
He chuckled a little before a hot sigh caressed my skin, dropping kisses one after another. He circled around the usual place he’d sink his fangs into me, and every brush of his lips made heat gather low in my body…
MC: So impatient…Abel…
Comte: …I’ve been waiting for you to give it to me
The corners of his lips lifted a little, before he buried his fangs into my neck.
MC: Mn, ah…aaaahh…
Comte: I love you so much...and whenever we aren't together, I’m starved of you. We were miles apart all night yesterday. I’ll show you just how much I missed you.
His voice--half-intoxicated with the ecstasy of my blood--was sweet and husky with his desire.
Comte: Before you, I’m always a love-starved beast.
As I gaze into those eyes burning with emotion, an electric sensation tingles down my spine.
(Ah, I’m just the same. It’s not only my heart, my body is always seeking you out too.)
MC: Me too…all day and night, I’m always thinking about you…
Comte: --Come here. Take as much of me as you want
At his encouragement and incitement, I sink my fangs into him.
MC: ah, ha…
Pleasure washes over me in an endless cascade, every sensation in my body heightened and sharp. I clenched my hands tighter through his wet hair, and dug my fangs into him greedily to devour that wellspring of ecstasy.
Comte: I'm happy to be able to share love with you like this, as a vampire.
Like drops of water moistening desiccated earth, every crimson drop fills us to the brim--

the invisible man? more like the visible man.
laugh track
analysis under the cut cause its long-ish (also spoilers for the book)
i think the ending of the invisible man is insane. i haven't read the book in a bit so i may get things wrong, but to my understanding, griffin is killed by a mob that kemp summons.
griffin is a terrible person- i think that goes unsaid. he has a god complex, he's a sociopath, he's a murderer, etc. he probably deserved to die (although i did like him so it made me a little sad).
what i find interesting is that the mob was scared. this man is running rampant and you can't see him, you don't know if you'll be next in his hurricane of chaos. so you round up a bunch of people, you try to end him- and you do.
fear, however, is a dangerous thing. it causes you to revert back to instinct. so this mob is many people against one, and they viciously beat griffin to death. they don't really notice the damage that they're doing- both because of his invisibility and also the adrenaline- until it is too late.
in a sense, they stoop to his level. they're scared of a murderer so they, themselves, become the murderers.
it's almost like the message is that there aren't really good people- there aren't bad ones either. there are good actions, there are bad actions, and people are made up of all those. sure, some make better choices than others but in the end, people will fight tooth and nail for their survival, because that is our instinct.
i also could be looking too much into it but i really enjoyed that book.

RHRN spoilers below the cut!!
Now that Copia is Father Imperator and his whole outfit changed... I'm excited to see what the fan base does. I'm really looking forward to reading this shit about him being in his new position. Especially since they added the sparkly black clerical collar... That is going to make some fine smut.

Okay okay oh my god okay. I have a little writers block bc top surgery coming up and I can't focus on anything except two things: breaking bad (I'm already in season 3 and I started watching it 3 or 4 days ago) and Tristin motherfucking Dugrey.
Tristin makes me mad. He's just. Hm. Hm. What's interesting about Tristin is that he can simultaneously talk up a big game and also mean every word. He has no shame but its somehow in a cocky way?????? There's a puckishness to him. But the problem is he's using that coy flirty playful cockyness to make his real feelings more palatable which makes him even worse because he's charismatic and playful AND sincere and head over heels all at the same time. Get you a man who does it all. Tristin does it all. There's two ways to play it with Tristin. You can either run or bite back.
If you run, every time he talks to you, everytime he chases you down in the halls and calls you Mary until he gets your attention, you'll reply in a bubbly, friendly, aggressively platonic way. You want him to think you're oblivious to his flirting, that you're not picking up on the way he looks at you, the way he watches you like he wants you (he does). But even with your best efforts, he can still tell it’s an act. After a while he can see it in your face. He has you pinned against the lockers, finally managing to corner you after a full week of you slipping away from him again and again. You're trying to hold it together but he keeps looking at your lips, and he can see your friendly chipper distant smile waver. It dawns on him that it's working. Everything he's been doing has been working the whole time. Prepare yourself, because once he realizes that, it's only a matter of time before this enticing little game of cat and mouse you started drives both of you so crazy that something gives.
If you bite back??? If you look him right in the eye and give back every bit of attitude he gives you and match his energy beat for beat??????? Holy shit is he thrown. He wants you more than ever, every comment, every coy look and "I'm sure you'd love that" just amp him up even more. This one is dangerous because you're going to speedrun every stage of attraction faster than you could imagine. The tension and chemistry that builds up is insane, everyone at school starts to notice. This one is fun because you get to see him flustered for a fraction of a second before it melts into even more intrigue. But everytime you encourage his flirting, he's only going to get worse. I'm telling you it escalates so fast. When he tells you how he wakes up at night calling your name, he's barely exaggerating. He thinks about you a lot, more than he should, in a lot of ways. He's never wanted anyone like this before, he's never burned with desire for someone, but now you're all he thinks about. God help him if he sees you dressed up all pretty at a party or something, he won't know what to do with himself and you'll definitely end up making out in a closet in record time after a few songs of tension filled dancing together.
