I spent 20k and couldnt get them and someone started drilling outside and I got them both right after the drilling started so whoever was holding the drill is da gacha god

I was doing an exercise, my English teacher came to see how was I doing, and then he said Rinko, w h a t.

I'll do days 26-29 today.

Day 26: Favorite 4 star(s)

I think you guys already know what I'm gonna put

This card is just too beautiful. I'm definitely being biased because I love astronomy but this card is absolutely amazing.

Day 27: Favorite 3 star(s)

I just love this set okay? That's all I have to say about that.

Day 28: Favorite Event

Once again, I love astronomy way too much.

Day 29: Character(s) You Relate to

This might be a little long.

Moca - I feel like I have her kind of role in my friend group. I'm just that one weird and kinda energetic friend. I also love manga, I love bread, and I wear hoodies a lot.

Misaki - Even though I have those traits of Moca, I'm also sometimes- I don't really know how to describe it- just Misaki-like I guess. I also wear her style of clothes, except masculine versions of her clothes, except I feel like the clothes I wear aren't really gendered necessarily. I literally just wear hoodies, t-shirts, and sweatpants.

PAREO, surprisingly - I don't relate much with her, but I do relate to the fact that I have to hide certain sides of me a lot (in PAREO's case, this would be hiding her "PAREO" side during school) because they won't be accepted by some people. This includes my soft side, since there's a standard that males aren't supposed to show emotions (I personally find that standard really stupid), my just not-so-masculine side in general, and the obvious one, my gayness (although, I'm getting more comfortable with expressing that part of me).

Wahoo! Today, I'm finally going to be caught up with Bandtober! This is going to be an extremely long post, so feel free to skip this in the feed (although there is a cool announcement at the bottom, so scroll down if you want to see it.)

Day 11: First Show!

(BonTraveler restaurant-- backstage)

Nigira: Waaah~, I’m so nervous!

Oro: Why are you nervous? It’s your own family restaurant! You’ve performed here a thousand times!

Ichika: Oro-senpai~, your hands are shaking!

Oro: Ahaha! I’m not the one whose parents own the restaurant!!

Ichika: And meanwhile, Kona-senpai looks perfectly calm . . .

Kona: Hm-hm-hmmmm♪ Polar bears♪

Oro: KONA!! Stop thinking about polar bears for one second!

Kona: What? Oh! Yeah! Okay. Sorry . . . polar bears are my motivation . . .

Oro: You’re such a dork.

Nigira: Why are you being so quiet, Shiro-chan?

Shiro: M-must-- st-stay-- calm . . .

Nigira: Aww~, Shiro-chan! Everything’s going to . . . be okay . . . waaaaah~!

Ichika: Nigira-senpai, crying isn’t gonna help, is it~?

Nigira: You guys are mean~!

Oro: You sound like Himari.

Nigira: I spend too much time around her . . .

Shiro: Aahh! We’re on!

Kona: Wahoo!

Nigira: Phew . . . deep breaths, let’s go!

(BonTraveler stage)

Nigira: Hello, BonTraveler!

(Silence.)

Nigira: I-I know I’ve messed up in the past . . . and I haven’t done my job properly, but now . . . I have a band!

Nigira: I mean . . . we have a band. And although we disagree . . . a lot . . . and our practices are kinda chaotic, we’re together. And we’ll stay that way. Performing to show that anyone can play music.

Nigira: I present you . . .

BonTekuno: BONTEKUNO!

Oro: Let’s kick things off with S-O-L-O!!

Day 12: Songwriting!

(Ichika’s room)

Kona: Ooo, your place is nice and cozy!

Shiro: Yeah, it’s really cute, in a unique sort of way! W-wait-- unique is a good thing, right?

Ichika: Thanks! Hina-senpai helped me decorate it!

Oro: You really like that PasuPare girl, don’t you . . .

Nigira: So, Ichika, what were your ideas for the new song?

Ichika: Uhhh . . . around here somewhere.

Oro: You lost them?

Ichika: No, but before you guys came over my mom told me to clean my room, and I kinda shoved everything wherever it would fit . . .

Shiro: Ahaha, that’s so like you, Chika-chan . . .

Kona: Well, let’s help you find them, then~. Do you remember where you put them?

Nigira: Yeah! Let’s start with your--

Ichika: Aah! I found them!

Oro: Phew . . . that was quick. Let’s read them, then.

Ichika: So, I was going for some nostalgia here . . . does it make you guys think of when you were little? It’s not a song yet, but it’s some brainstorming.

Kona: Ooo~, I love it! Polar!

Shiro: Wow . . . you really went deep into me and Oro’s backstory, didn’t you . . .?

Oro: Wh-what?! Let me see.

Oro: Oh . . . it’s actually not bad . . .

Nigira: Alright, guys, let’s turn this into a song! I want to kind of tie in the word ‘Nostalgia’ somewhere in the main chorus . . .

Kona: Like techno-stalgia . . . or something--

Ichika: Kona-senpai, that’s genius!

Kona: Eh? Oh!

Oro and Kona: Technostalgia!

Nigira: Yeah, I seriously love that!

Shiro: It works perfectly for our band’s theme!

Oro: Okay, but it’s just one word. Or a fusion of two words . . . we’ve gotta work on the actual song.

Nigira: This melody just kinda popped into my head . . . it’s just a couple notes, though . . . hmm-hmm-hmmmm-hm-hmmmm-hmm~!

Ichika: I really like that! It sounds like the beginning of the song . . .

Oro: Noooo, I was just going to say it works for the pre-chorus.

Nigira: Oh. I thought it sounded like the end of the song.

Shiro: Why do you all fight over everything? Eep . . . I didn’t mean to be harsh . . .

Kona: Let’s just take those notes and see how they work for the rest of the song, okay?

Nigira: Yeah. So we know that the chorus will start with ‘TECHNOSTALGIA!’ But we don’t want it to be like, a shout.

Oro: Yeah, cause we want it to be nostalgic.

Shiro: So . . . kinda sad, but hopeful for the future at the same time?

Ichika: Yeah, something like that. I’m seeing lots of piano. Shiro? You can make piano stuff, right?

Shiro: Sure can!

Kona: Woohoo~, this song is coming along nicely!

Oro: Kya!! Kona, we haven’t even written any lyrics!

Day 14: Album Cover

Since I was planning on having all of the members on the album cover, I couldn't draw it in one day, so here's the description! (Sorry, no artwork today.)

There are glowing spheres all over a gray background, floating in the air, and the BonTekuno members are grabbing them, trying not to fall off. It sounds really weird, but it would probably make more sense if I drew it. (Maybe I'll do a sketch tomorrow?)

Day 15: Rivals

Time for the announcement!! I've been working on very basic ideas for a new band based off of the character I made in that one mix-traits-and-make-a-Bandori-girl post someone made (I can't remember who ack--)! I haven't decided on a name yet, but it's themed off of my love of creating dessert gijinka characters! (Here are a few examples of them.) Their outfits are dessert-based, and their music is kind of a mix between PasuPare and PoPiPa, with some Morfonica elements! Anyway, BonTekuno and them are rivals! Haven't figured out why yet, just that they are.

Alright, that's it for now! Sorry for plopping this gigantic post on the feed . . . see y'all tomorrow!

Does anyone know how many days until the Pastel Palettes Halloween rerun? I'm really anxious and I know I should be hoping it comes later so I can be prepared but I'm actually hoping it comes earlier because the cards are just so PRETTY

current mood: wishing for arashi to be real so i can smooch her pretty face. i just want her to be my gf is that oh so hard to ask

(also sorry for not posting; im pretty busy with classes -_-)

So I'm bored and have homework to finish—

Tell me your worst gacha pulls/experiences here, I'm all ears (trust me, I've had a lot of these types of pulls)

I'll start with mine: During the christmas df on jp last year, I had 32k stars ready for christmas Misaki, but only got police hagumi and pastel bloom chisato. I'm not salty about that now, but I was scarred that time :)

To the Banpa community:

4-Koma #250. Because you're worth me failing at redrawing.

I made a meme,,,,

Last night I was thinking a lot about Kokoro and I made a tweet of some of her chibis where I said "sometimes I just want to pick her up and stuff her in my pockets" because at 4 in the morning that's how my brain decided it was going to express "I love Kokoro" so it inspired me to make one of these memes to truly encapsule the vibe

I'm contemplating making one for Himari and Lisa too but idk

yknow what I usually don't do stuff like this but I'm so loud on this site I feel like I should mention it before folks get mad at me worried

I might lay low for the next couple days or so, especially wrt to holding conversations / commenting (which by the wAY comment sections still refuse to work on mobile). I've been feeling rly emotionally / mentally drained since yesterday and I don't even know why?

it's because LR Fes archive is over. that is a joke. ... or is it? idk man hyperfixations are weird, it might actually be because of that ...

I hoped it'd improve today but it didn't really at all. dunno how long this'll last. it'll end eventually, though. that sounds ominous but I mean it in a good way

just give me some time and I'll be back to shouting again soon, but in the meantime: if I don't comment/reply a lot or, when I do, I don't sound particularly involved, sorry;;;; I'll just be here vibing until my feelings come back properly. (that sounds terrible actually but to give you some perspective, I hardcore botched a very important presentation - which I'm usually good at & enjoy giving - and I didn't even really care THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN I SHOULD BE SAD—) I've been trying my best but it's just making me feel like I'm faking it and everyone can tell and it's just hhh that's no good

so yeah!!!! do not worry I will be fine. might draw or sing a lot and I'll still post info or things I find worth posting, just will engage in conversation less most likely unless I get to infodump about band boys but that's not a conversation, that's a presentation. I could prepare a PowerPoint. I SHOULD prepare a PowerPoint

that's a lot of words to say please don't feel like I dislike you / find you annoying if I don't comment / reply or sound off OKAY THAT'S IT SEE YA

shakes fist at sky

I wish I could watch Cantabile but I need to save moneeeeeeeey

I'm glad they decided to stream it though, hope this keeps up even after the Situation starts allowing for more in-person stuff again
