Hhh Ayasa-chan if you say Arisa’s expression makes you shed tears I am going to shed tears pls . . . “For her expression to look this happy 😢 I’m glad she met these precious companions 🥲💕” Ayasa-chan stop I’m already emotional . . . Thank you for blessing us with your voice and keyboard playing and improv singing and everything else . . . and for making me love Arisa from day one

H-Happy anniversartrails off into unintelligible sobbing

Playing one of your fav songs ever should mean you know exactly how it goes right . . . it means you definitely won’t add an entire bar to that pause before the chorus by accident right . . .

inspired by mimciasia

Uh I made an AriLisa lovechild when the trend started but kinda just . . . left her there until now

(I know I posted about how much I love RinAri a few days ago but what can I say, Bandori turned me into a bit of a multishipper and this child . . . she pretty much sprang into my mind almost fully formed. I couldn't not answer to her pleas)

Without further ado, meet this awkward mum friend who will swear like a sailor if she's not careful

I accidentally made her hair too much like Saaya's please ignore that

Day 21: Your favourite song art cover

Cracks knuckles I’ve been thinking about this for ages

Right so the art style is great and the colours are really nice and everything but what I really appreciate is the fact that the body language of each girl represents her character perfectly even tho we can only see their backs. Kasumi is the leader, the one with all the inspiration and ideas, the one with her feet higher off the ground than everyone else. Tae is more grounded but she’s throwing her arm out in a sorta “I do whatever I feel like” way. Rimi’s posture is less open and a little timid but her hand is in a fist like she’s cheering someone on, one of the things she’s best at. Saaya’s foot is closest to the ground, she’s the reliable one, the one you can go to when you feel like things aren’t so steady. And Arisa’s arms are noticeably bent like she’s hesitating and holding back from jumping with everything she has, afraid to put all her emotions on display . . . and it’s all just! Really good!

Saw noraragi doing this and of course I had to as well bc music

Random Song Appreciation!

. . . Of course it’s a Roselia song this site Knows me

What I like about this song:

Roselia’s heavier darker sound makes it different from the original but good different . . . it’s kinda hard to pinpoint specific things since it’s a cover, I just like the song a lot?? Guitar good . . . and the way AiAi sings the “maverick gamers” bit

What I dislike about this song:

This is probably just bc I was taught classical music but the keyboard in the intro sounds kinda robotic to me . . . then again I only noticed bc I was comparing it to the original

Day 19: Your favourite character epithet

I love Sadness Metronome just bc of how nerdy it sounds

Day 20: Your favourite album

The full-band acoustic songs! The harmonies sound so good . . . not to mention Arisa’s prettiest solo (the HashiKimi acoustic one) is in here, no I do not take criticism

Day 18: Your favourite family dynamic

I love all the sibling relationships!! But I’m lowkey using this challenge as an excuse to shout into the void about various things so let’s talk about this instead (I reread Roselia’s BS1 again and it got me thinking)

Like the potential of this intrigues me. I know Bandori doesn’t give much focus to parents bc that’s how idol-esque franchises are but there’s so much here we don’t see that I’d love to see. The thing with Yukina’s dad obviously must’ve affected him really badly bc it’s what turned Yukina into the girl we’re first introduced to. But we never actually see her life turn upside down bc music had always been what connected her with her dad and suddenly it was gone and she had to watch him deal with the aftermath and had no idea what to do (a bit more is shown in the Roselia manga but not much). It’s easy to say “Yukina’s just an angsty overdramatic teenager” and don’t get me wrong she IS overdramatic have you seen her lyrics—but what happened really was a big deal and led to all of them ignoring the elephant in the room and acting like everything’s normal and it’s like, how long have things been like this? How long has it been since Yukina’s had a conversation with her parents without hiding anything?

I wanna see how things progressed to this point, how much Yukina hated the whole situation but had to slowly get used to it. Waking up one morning wanting to sing and remembering their family doesn’t do that anymore. Or coming home one day to find all the music magazines and every other reminder of music in the house gone. Absently humming one of her dad’s songs from force of habit and not realising until he gets up and leaves. Sitting alone in her room wondering how to make things go back to the way they were. I’m just making myself sad now

So anyway we get this whole setup and then in A Song Unfinished Yukina’s dad suddenly waltzes into her room, reminisces about LOUDER and gives her singing advice and Yukina isn’t surprised or anything?? What happened there was it a retcon or did something happen offscreen I wanna KNOW. Craft Egg give me the secret Minato household content

Bandwagon? Bandwagon let’s go

Random Card Appreciation!

Do I have her?

No but I’d be very glad to

Something I like about this card:

Her pose and expression just scream Eve to me, she’s being her best bushido self and having the time of her life. I like the confidence in her stance and the kinda goofy little >:D is just so Her I love it . . . Her hairstyle is adorable and the shade of purple on her jacket is really nice too I want it

Something I don’t like about this card:

Nothing much but maybe the lighting/shading could be a little more dramatic and the bright reds kinda draw attention away from the top half of the card?

Game said RinAri rights todayy

I love Rinko’s “Ready to go whenever . . .” stamp bc I get to respond with Arisa’s “Okay . . . Here I go!” Bless both Rinkos for sending Rinko I felt like I was rping for a sec

Also yeah I sacrificed a dangerous number of miracle crystals for that Roselia lane but I had to ok
