#people that try to manufacture wmmap discourse are honestly super funny

First of all thank you very much for the translation! Considering that you don't even speak the language and yet you tried everything you could to give us the most accurate translation possible, thank you very much indeed! You are the best, without you the fandom is dead. I hope that Spoon gives us more of Diana in the side stories, the fandom is making her very dirty and if we had more backstory of her character, they would surely stop considering her a "pixie girl" or that she is trying very hard to be "the perfect mother" ( yes, i read this, the poor woman is dead lol and the 'Pixie girl" term is so bad used but whatever)

Thank you again!! We love You ❤️

Thank you for your love, anon! I'm very happy to share all the information and resources I have with everyone, and to help out where I can. Though I can't take that much credit, there's plenty of wonderful people and talented creators in the fandom. But thank you very much! I appreciate your words ♥

I haven't seen those comments (but I also don't browse the tag lol), but I think it's unfair (and frankly mysoginistic) to call Diana such names. She died before the story began, so of course she won't have as much screentime as, say, Claude or Athy, but she's not "just" a mother (What group of people always reduces women to their roles as mothers in a derogatory fashion? I have the word on the tip of my tongue...) or a "pixie girl" (I really can't see how that term applies to Diana, maybe they don't know what it means). Spoon has made great efforts to involve Diana more in the plot, giving her more scenes, characterization, and being central to the most beloved chapters in the whole story, so it's rude to her as well. That would be like me calling Anastasius cannon fodder just because in the novel he had zero screentime and died unceremoniously. Or better yet, Penelope. Sounds unfair, right?

Though I'm sure it's just one or two people saying that, the fandom adores Diana from what I have seen. She defied the limits of life and death's cycle, having not an ounce of mana, just with the sheer strength of her love for Claude and Athy. Other than our dear protagonist, she is probably the character that best embodies WMMAP's themes of familial love, while being a secondary character. So everyone better respect her!

Anyways, one of the side stories is supposed to be about Claude and Diana, so if/when that comes out, we'll have more material to discuss! The answers about Diana from Spoon's Q&A that I translated were a little longer, but I couldn't understand the other parts very well because god, Spoon talked so fast. I preferred to give you guys a shorter answer than an inaccurate one, so apologies for that. I'll try to update the post when I can listen to the stream again or ask my friends who attended the class with me. If I do, I'll make sure to inform you all ♥
