idk about you but a danganronpa X bandori Collab would be cool 👀

Hagumi's birthday chibi thing is finally on bestdori.

do you ever just try and bring your best friend that loves anime (unlike you) into bandori by showing them the characters and making them describe them..?

i mean yeah I do

Here’s what she said -

Tae - rlly likes bunnies and shopping

excuse me - how -

Kasumi - (i showed her wedding model Kasumi, which is why she said-) looks the mom of the group and takes care of others (But then I showed her this piece of fan art with kasu in her summer uniform and with her guitar, and she said-) a big extrovert lol

Saaya -

(I quote)

“ Yeah- This one too- She looks like she really likes to bug people” “ A LOT”

then I started dying laughing 🤣🤣🤣

Rimi - a baby introvert that doesn’t like to be around others, would usually hide behind someone

Arisa -

( I QUOTE 😂)

“She actually looks like the girl that would kick you if you try anything funny”

OML 🤣🤣🤣👏👏

Ran - the one that would stop you from eating her food

Moca - first she said she looked short and then she said that moca was an introvert and an extrovert, but more of an extrovert lol

Tomoe - a mom that teases ppl 😂

Himari - a super extrovert that gets rlly embarrassed if u say something embarrassing about her or something

Tsugumi - (sent that card of her writing her name onscreen idk what it’s called lol) a writer, then she said huggable and sweet after some fanart of her hugging a dolphin 😂

ill do the rest a bit later because we only made it past pastel pallets

I wanna doodle some of the girls to try and motivate myself to get actual stuff done today. So pls drop down who you wanna see me draw!

I can't promise I'll do all requests but I'll do as many as I have the energy and inspo for!

Thank you Yukina <3

I'm really happy, I got it at the first scout 😭💖 Thank you Arisa! I love you 🥰

HBD Hina (^__^) /Aya is the best gift it seems

okay we gOT A STEAMPUNK SET?!?!?! I'M ACTUALLY REALLY GLAD TO SEE PASUPARE BEING STEAMPUNK QUEENS!!

you can't NOT appreciate the aesthetic in chisato's card especially!! it's kind of unexpected to see this kind of thing from pasupare when you'd expect it to go to roselia or even harohapi (given how many different different yet cool things we see from them) and i am NOT disappointed

thank you pastel queens

edit: why is this coming back just because it's on en now

One of my favorite things about Bandori is how it very subtly delivers the unexpected and shifts our perspectives in a meaningful way.

For example, Pastel*Palettes appears to be the most superficial group, as they're managed by an agency and have contracts. They don't write their own music or lyrics, nor do they make their own costumes. We know that none of the girls wrote the lyrics to Mou Ichido Luminous. But when you read the band story, the song hits a lot harder, because we are shown that despite their careers being created entirely by the agency, the bond the band shares is more authentic than an outsider could ever imagine. It reminds us that even if an idol group or band operates under an agency and performs content composed by someone else, they're real people and there's so much more going on backstage. Things we as fans and onlookers will never get to see. And that's what makes it so special to them. It's a part of their group's unity that only they know.

This directly contrasts with Roselia. They write their own songs and compose their own music. Their songs, however, usually portray the views primarily of one member. Hidamari Rhodonite is Yukina's feelings about her relationship with Lisa. Kiseki is primarily Rinko's thoughts and feelings. Opera of the wasteland is Ako's (and, not at all surprisingly, shows some lyrical similarity to Kiseki). Determination Symphony is Sayo's. ONENESS is without a doubt something Lisa brought about. Their lyrics and music contain raw passion. They all describe a sensation of their bodies moving by themselves when they play together. It's like magic. A sound only they can create.

And yet, their bond is the weakest out of the bands circa band story 2. They all have wildly different ideas of what the band means to them and what role music plays in their lives. They want to go different directions. They disagree on a lot of things. Many times, they feel a bit shy to offer up ideas, feelings or concerns for fear they'd just disturb the peace unnecessarily. I don't just mean Lisa, Ako and Rinko. Even Yukina and Sayo are super awkward with it, it's just in a different way than we see the other three. For a group whose tagline is about devotion to Roselia, they lack unity. Since then, it seems we've seen active attempts to improve this. The theme park event especially shows how Yukina realizes the importance of unity within the band since a few rough patches in the road really shook them up previously. But if I hadn't known any better, I'd think a band like Roselia would be able to read each other's minds, pretty much, just based on their music and their lyrics.

I don't know if anyone thought about this, but I have a lot more to say on the subject, as well as things to add on about the other three bands (Popipa especially) but I wanted to share what I was thinking. If anyone has something to add, please drop a comment 👀

another bandori x iconic textposts thing.

it's funnier when you realize that tae is 164cm tall, which is around 5'4"

What can't you go without in the morning?

Aya: "Hmm...maybe my favorite lip gloss?"

Yukina: "Coffee, black." (translation: coffee, with 3 cups of sugar)

Tae: "Photoshopping pictures of Kasumi's hair to look like bunny ears. It's a new hobby."

Kanon: "Getting lost...fueee..."

Misaki: "An identity crisis and three instances of narrowly-avoided fatal heart attacks."

Hina: "Waking up the whole neighborhood. I've tried but my routine is just too boppin'!"

Saaya: "I can't go without toast and a cup of tea! Sometimes the tea comes through my DMs but either way is fine."

Hagumi: "Love for my friends!"

Lisa: "Fear of rejection."

Tomoe: "I can't start my day without punching a Nazi or two!"

Tsugumi: "A pile of paperwork stacked on my desk, and my status as not a hard worker but also a doormat slowly eating away at me...oh, and coffee."

Kasumi: "I haven't gone a single morning without a swift kick in the gut from Arisa this semester! :D"

Sayo: "My pride crumbling slowly"

Himari: "Five packs of tissues that will be gone by noon."

Chisato: "Making fun of people behind their backs."

Kaoru: "Alas! I have tried, but it seems I cannot survive the morning without watching over the delighted faces of my dear little kittens...how fleeting...!" (translation: I will die if I don't get attention from other gays)

Moca: "Stealing bread and pretending I'm Jean Valjean"

Eve: "I can't remember a time I didn't start my morning with a grueling 3-hour Navy SEAL training session! Bushidoooo!"

Rinko: "...social...anxiety..."

Kokoro: "I can smile through anything, so there's nothing I can't go without!" (translation: I'm loaded and I go without brain cells every day anyways)

Arisa: "Resisting the urge to smash my face against a brick wall."

Ran: "Daddy issues."

Maya: "A healthy breakfast while reading five car manuals in succession, I suppose."

Rimi: "Choco cornets and self-doubt."

Ako: "Being cool." (translation: being babey)
