I did it. I finally fc'd a level 26.

Ok why did I just notice this

I'm not dead I swear

So it's almost been a year since the #WeNeedTrainedMisaki #JoinTheRevolution thing and uhh

Friendly reminder that if you want a trained Misaki card anytime soon please tag your next post w/

and

#JoinTheRevolution

You can also check out this post my friend Li made back in December, since she started this whole thing and I respect her for that :3

Hi! It's been a while since I posted huh

I'm just wondering if you guys would be interested if I started to do art or edit commissions?

Please let me know in the comments if you're interested at all ^^

Misaki my boy!! for some reason, I rly wanna ruffle his hair

Hiii!!! I'm Bee! I just started Bandori a couple days ago because a few of my friends played it and it's super fun! Yeah!

So I've been saving up for the Re:Zero collab since July (I spent 1 ten pull for both summer Aya and any of the festival HaroHapi cards, I did get the Misaki.) I currently have 20k stars saved up for literally any of the collab cards. If I get at least one of the 4 stars or the Ako I will probably scream, cause I love Re:Zero and I'm currently watching the 2nd season. I had no luck with getting the two 4 stars of the Persona collab (Thankfully I got Moca)and on JP I had no luck with collab Arisa or collab Hagumi/Kokoro (I got Misaki).

I also hope to have some stars left over for HaroHapi Christmas cause I love that set I want Misaki or Kaoru, but Hagumi would be aight too.

So basically on EN I'm trying to save up for any cards I like and the next one I'll probably save for is Pasupare Valentines Day or Backstage Pass 3.

On JP I'm saving for the Christmas set this year which I'm hoping is either mixed or RAS cause their the only one that can probably have the event cause Popipa, Afterglow, and HaroHapi have had Christmas events, Roselia and Pasupare had limited holiday events already, and Morfonica had an event recently. Also RAS needs more cards.

about a month ago nija and i were discussing what pets the garupa bands would own (under the assumption that they move into sharehouses when they enter college) and here's what we came up with!

popipa: tae's 20 bunnies, ofc

afterglow: a german shepherd!! big dogs fit their vibes imo

pasupare: budgies/lovebirds! they're cute and dainty

roselia: a black cat with a fancy name that also acts like a dog

harohapi: a parrot (specifically a scarlet macaw)!! also it abuses the word fleeting nonstop thanks to kaoru

morfonica: a chinchilla!! very fancy, but not exotic or super duper expensive.

ras: .....fish, though chu2 would like a cat. the thing is, everything else would be disturbed by their noisy music, so they get fish. YAY.

also while we're on the topic of pets, i would like to say that i really want a guinea pig and i'll probably adopt one after college

hello hello I bring ARGONAVIS news of a slightly different variety today!

the coupling song for the Puchigonavis tankobon, Hey! Argonavis, was premiered today on Navigator Radio! I ... would like to tell you what it sounds like, but it seems the archive isn't up on the HiBiKi Radio site / app yet (episode 4 is still up instead), so you've gotta wait for that. go check out the episode (episode 5) once it is! or maybe they'll upload it on YouTube, idk.

maybe it's a timezone thing, actually ... since it's still the 16th here ...

I did hear though that it was a very cute song. so make of that what you will.

//e: it's up now and IT'S A VERY CUTE SONG INDEED

aaaand in a very interesting twist of fate, the manga adaptation has finally made good on that promise of diverging from the main storyline. I mean kinda sorta. they already kinda did. but only a little bit.

introducting a character called Iryuu Kouga, former member of the super popular band SYANA, he's "that person" Ren refers to (in the manga, unlike in the anime he has a specific person he was inspired by) that he saw at DesFes way back when. SYANA has broken up by now, and Iryuu seems to be looking for a band that catches his attention / is good enough for him, which he finally finds in Argonavis. (whose first live is much less of a disaster than it was in the anime lol.) Ren runs after him as he leaves, but he's off before the members can talk to him any further, and the chapter ends with him calling Mashuu about the "interesting band" that he found and how he should consider them as Gyro's opening band for the next live.

as someone who appreciates it when adaptations take different routes instead of just copying the source material, I'm actually super into this lol, also the fact that it's the person Ren admired who's now getting them these opportunities instead of just Mashuu is pretty poetic, huh? right now it seems very much like an alternate road to the same destination, and that's just rly neat.

manga canon is pretty separate from main canon in the route it takes, but some people did point out his nekomimi hairstyle ... idk if he's old enough to be Nayuta's infamous father, but this IS also the chapter that formally introduced Gyro, and right in the beginning a bartender did mention Gyro (though he never got to finish the sentence) to him ... but I always just kinda assumed that Nayuta's father was still active ... we'll just have to wait and see!

also. if it wasn't for the speech bubbles this would be a great reaction image.

the manga is free to read on Shounen Jump Plus!! no idea if a translation group has picked it up or not, but if you understand JP or are fine just looking at pictures, please read the official source okay thank uuuu

and while I'm here, may as well mention that sales for the WEGO collab have been underway since the thirteenth. I paid for shipping for my Ren hoodie today coughs. and if you need any more reason to check it out ... I mean just look at them.

and yeah that's about it, I mainly wanted to talk about the manga, but then I didn't wanna make a separate post for the song preview, so ......

I tried for a couple of opposite aesthetic edits for both Sayo and Hina!

Granted, there weren't very much backgrounds to redraw but I think it turned out okay and I had fun doing them!

(here's the sloppier, lazier hina one did please don't stare too hard at the side bangs)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I think today’s also my 1 year anniversary on garupa so that timing was insane...

As someone who usually has a really low attention span Bandori is one of the only games I’ve been playing pretty consistently for a year, I’ve never found a reason to stop playing and I hope that I’ll continue playing for a while!

I’ve made so many memories on this game whether it was gacha’ing at 11 am with kaede_ and complaining about our gacha luck, grinding for stars for countless months for that one gacha, or even just me stuck in tiering hell is a memory for me.

Bandori has a special place in my heart and as strange at it sounds if kaede_ didn’t randomly start to play it at a sleepover a year ago I wouldn’t have met you guys! I love you guys so much and I want to thank you again for 100 followers 💖

also sorry for rambling on for this long I wanted to make this short but oh well lmao
