IIRC they released a 100% translated patch but they’re still in the process of quality checking.

fandomstranger answered your question:And I’ll admit, I haven’t checked in ages, but - ...

There’s been a full translation out for a little over a month now, but it wasn’t fully edited by the group before someone “leaked” it.

So basically they're roughly 90-95% of the way to having a full, proper patch, right?

.... YES.

we are so thirsty for this ship we should be embarrassed

Who’s the messiest one: haru. it’s not even like he’s doing it on purpose, he just neglects things because they don’t demand his attention right away. you don’t even really notice it happening because haru lives kind of ascetically anyway, he doesn’t really have or need a ton of stuff to leave laying around. so it’s just like one week he forgets a bowl is in the sink, the next week a pair of wet jammers are draped over the rim of the bathtub, and when it finally occurs to rei to notice things are in the mild state of disarray it takes to aggravate him, he can’t even be mad. (mostly it’s the bathroom that gets messy)

Who feels the most uncomfortable about PDA: i can’t imagine either of them being strongly inclined toward pda but if the urge struck either of them rei would resist it. haru would heed the impulse freely. rei would just be like “buT I DON’T HAVE A SCRIPT FOR THIS I DIDN’T STUDY THE THEORY”

Who’s the funniest drunk: rei. rei is the worst(best) kind of rambly drunk. but haru is a giggly drunk and it’s cute

Who texts the most: rei is the concerned texter always asking after haru when he’s out late. there’s no reason for him to bother though because haru never carries his phone with him. (dat canon lol)

Who has the most embarrassing taste in music: both of them are disgraces lbr. but my instinctive answer on this is “rei” because you couldn’t call the ocean recordings haru exclusively listens to music. (meanwhile rei has a collection of hair metal love ballads tucked away amid his math rock and classical music cds. he’s not allowed to listen to his music in the car)

Who reads the most: rei, natch.

Who’s better with kids: haru, for sure. neither of them plan on actually having kids but haru still shows some papa-bear traits from hanging out with ren and ran all the time. (i like to think haru coaches a new elementary school swim club in iwatobi after graduating… vuv)

Who’s the one that fixes things around the house: haru’s good with his hands and sort of naturally intuits how to fix stuff. rei intently studies how the gadgets work but the moment he touches something everything goes to shit. he flooded the whole kitchen one time. (tbh when it gets that bad they just call in a repair guy)

Who’s got the weirdest hobby: haru probably still does that thing where he soaks in the tub in his jammers for hours on end. mostly in fall and winter. when he is in a good mood rei is invited to join him but only if he keeps his swimsuit on.

you know me too well….

when i started shipping or if i ship it: i have no idea where or how this terrible curse started. i want to say it was around episode 8? where i started noticing rei caring about haru when he was so worried for haru that one time… by the time episode 9 rolled around i was sold. (somebody on tumblr pointed out “did anyone else notice that haru wasn’t sold on going to the festival until makoto mentioned that rei really wanted him to come?” and i was like “yes the gay has arrived”…….) but man on a rewatch i got to about episode 3 and was like “how did i not notice rei’s raging boner for haru in this episode wtf”

my thoughts: HARU YOU NOTICE YOUR KOUHAI THIS INSTANT

what makes me happy about them: everything?? i love the complete contrast of their temperaments and worldviews and how (on rei’s end) that doesn’t turn into distrust or resentment but instead into admiration. i love rei’s senpai worship that doesn’t turn creepy. i love the slow build of their developing friendship when haru regards rei really warily at first then slowly accepts him into the fold, and the understated way they develop.

what makes me sad about them: the whole episode 12 thing, probably. mainly the fact that haru doesn’t seem to really give a care for rei on a personal level. even if he embraces rei as part of his team it’s very obvious he prioritizes makoto and rin over rei, and it would take a lot to shake him out of that status quo. rei is not passive by any means but since he prioritizes The Team and haru’s happiness over his own, he would probably continue to let that happen as long as haru was happier and more stimulated that way. and wow i made myself really sad :(

things done in art/fic that annoy me: idk for some reason i read some fanfics (well, what few fanfics exist for this ship) that 1. kick off with rei and haru already shacked up (the buildup is what makes the ship, hello) and 2. have haru doing fuckall with swimming, like, it’s just not even mentioned (idk man i can’t see him being happy living that way. makoto or rei or nagisa or aiichirou maybe but not him).

things i look for in art/fic: slow buildups and enough fluff to rot your teeth out.

my kinks: awkward sex. so much awkward sex. rei would be the most awkward person in bed ever and haru would be of absolutely no help to him and i would laugh my ass off.

who i’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: rei could shack up with rin and i’d be a happy camper. or nagisa even. haru could go with makoto, or rin if rei didn’t call dibs, i’m not picky. (what they really need to do, though, is both boink rin.) (and makoto. and nagisa. and aiichirou.) (one true orgy)

OH BOY (most of these were probably already kind of obvious but here goes)
