Who's ur favourite of the supreme beings bar Ainz? Also thank u for the meme vids, keep em coming 👍

Good question. I'd say it's bukubukuchugma, becase I find her hilarious in most of her appearances in the spin-offs, from her design to her personality to her relationship with peroronchino. I also can relate to her and Peroronchino alot, since I am very close to my siblings and their dynamic is very true to how siblings act!

#i like luci☆fer too but we haven't seen much of him #bukubuku is just a mood #girlboss. absolute queen #her relationship with yamako is also very cute

hi i am So Sorry. i am now in evil infodump mode and this might be mildly annoying so you're welcome to trash this ask. but because you asked:

(inhale) Drowned Shrimp! (溺れたエビ!) is a little-known japanese funk band that started in 2001 and performed up until 2019 (where they're now currently MIA). their entire gimmick is their costuming and shrimp masks, along with their unique playing style/genre

photo of the band members here ��️

they went through several style changes, most notably going from a style more inspired by kaijus and monsters (2007 photo here⬇️)

to bright, funky, psychedelic "what the fuck is happening" vibes

okay to make this kinda useful. i'll give you links to check out below:

this takes you to their first 2013 album "Anomalocaris"

this takes you to their second 2015 album "Dance on a Sea Anemone!"

this takes you to their third 2016 album "Bukubuku Pi! Bukubuku Pe! Bukubuku Papipo!!"

this takes you to a playlist of every single currently recovered video of their performances (POTENTIAL FLASH WARNING)

this takes you to their official youtube channel

this takes you to an unofficial archive channel

uh. yeah. have fun

sorry im just really passionate about this band partially because barely anyone knows about them so now ive dedicated my existence to spreading the word 👍

hey. im obsessed with this

#also NEVER apologize for infodumping in my inbox i love it #im gonna listen to these ill tag you with my thoughts #mine #ask #saspitite

[im-so-goddamn-tired]

this is honestly one of the best (if not the best) stories that I've read in a while.

Id recommend this to anyone, whether they know only persona or only mha, hell even if they don't know either, it's such a great fuckin story.

I will admit, I cried and I don't cry often.

The storyline, the characters, EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD.

Here's the link:

I don't regret reading this, and I don't you will either.

We art thou, thou art us

HEE HO!

P.s This might mean absolutely nothing coming from me, but BukuBuku is a damn good writer. Please give their other works a read and be ready for the epilogue on Jan 6th for "Dost Thou Even Steal Hearts?".

all i know about drowned shrimps is things you've posted about them but IT SOUNDS SO FRICKING COOL when i have the time im gonna go thru the t*rf asks youre answering with drowned shrimps stuff and read it all.

feel free to answer this with more shrimp info :D

---- @lawyerkin

HI LIGU!!! yeah its like my absolute favorite band ever lol,, theyre so weird and funky its hard to even describe their whole music genre because it feels like they invented their own lol. but i will say, videos of their performances in later years (like 2014 and onwards) do have some flashing/fast moving lights and whatnot so i'd be careful with that!!! but yeah hmmm what to talk about

back when they started in 2001 (they were called Autopsy Report of a Drowned Shrimp at this time) they were more inspired by like, kaijus and monsters and whatnot, and their style/stage presence was like big and booming, more like an orchestral and industrial rock kinda style. but slowly over the years they incorporated a little more funk into their style, up until 2013 with their big style change involving their funkier costumes and fun wacky music. i'll link some of my favorite performances from them and will try my best to avoid any with flashing lights!!

2013

2013

2015 (some mild flashes, not that fast but i would probably proceed with caution)

2016

all of their albums are also on youtube if you ever wanna check them out !! 2013 - Anomalocaris

2015 - Dance on a Sea Anemone!

2016 - Bukubuku Pi! Bukubuku Pe! Bukubuku Papipo!!

Brief Personality: Are is what you would call, Chaotic, Sadistic. She seems to take pleasure in messing with people. Changing the story, Breaking the 4th wall. They are highly intelligent, however she often hides that behind a vapid/pompous persona. In reality, all Are wants is attention and for someone to play her games with her.. However they would never admit that.

Brief Backstory: Are was born a very long time ago in modern day Okinawa. Her childhood name was Akira. Her family were originally rice farmers and the first few years of her life were relatively uneventful. Until her parents realized how much money there is in the con business. It started out small, saying that the teas they make could cure illness, then they could make creams and tonics that could cure blindness and heal broken bones.

Her parents slowly did any and every type of con in the book and slowly they included Akira in the Scams. Who couldn’t resist that cute little face? And Unfortunately her parents made Akira do, allot of things for money. Akira had to deal with sexual abuse from a very young age, which warped her sense of reality.

Her parents eventually scammed and broke mostly ever law to get their way up to the top. They pretended to be Warriors, they.. of course did not have any qualifications for that sort of job, but that didn’t stop them from reaching the royal palace with that scam. They were granted a living quarters within the grounds of the palace. And they offered their child as a Juri, helping the older prositutes and eventually as she got older becoming one.

When she became more mature she was given the name Are.

Are learned from an incredibly young age how to game the system. She knew exactly what to say to charm people and knew exactly what to do to get people to leave her alone. And eventually her intelligence paid off, She was proficient in all different types of dancing like fan dancing and Yotsutake. Performing for people within the palace and dazzling them.

Eventually Are made her way to dazzling the King and Queen with her talent in music and dancing, which made her family go up in the world. Her family wanted to use their connections to royalty as a means for power. But Are just liked the safety she got from it.

The King took an interest in Are, eventually making her a Aji-Ganashi. Which she begrudgingly accepted. However, this caused her to have some evil eyes cast upon her. She noticed the other concubines would bully and harass her. Putting rats in her room, Cutting her hair off. Are’s family made her put up with the abuse as they didn’t want to lose their connection with the royal family.

One day however it went too far, as one of the other concubines poisoned her. Are slowly died a slow and painful death as the poison took over her body, She remembers her mother and father laying over her before she closed her eyes, and was transported to a forest, She sat up confused, wondering where she was until she looked over and saw a woman by a glowing river. The woman beckoned her to come towards her.

Are hesitantly got up, dusting off her outfit and going to sit down next to the woman.

“Little one, What are you doing here?” The woman asked.

“I.. think I died...” Are said, fidgeting with her ryusou. “It’s kind of blurry..”

Are looked up at the woman. “I.. wasn’t expecting to go that quickly.. My parents are going to be so disappointed..”

The woman stared down at her, with a look that Are couldn’t quite make out.

“Heh, sorry.. I guess I shouldn’t complain.. That’s life right..?” Are shifted nervously.

The woman took Are’s hands. “What if I gave you a second chance?”

“A second chance? What do you mean..?” Are said. “It’s not like any of us have that kind of power..”

The woman laughed. “You have no idea who I am, do you?”

Are gave her a puzzled look. “Um. No.. not particularly..”

“I am, Amamikyu.”

Are’s eyes got wide, she immediately bowed to the goddess“OHMYGODLITERALLYIAMSOSORRYIWASBEINGSORUDEOHMYGOD”

“Wooooahhh easy now, no need for all of that, my child.” Amamikyu said, patting Are on the head.

“Listen, do you see this river?” The goddess said, pointing at the river beside them. “This, little one. Is the river of the gods. It is the essence of life. If you drink from it, I believe it should give you a second chance.”

“I- I don’t know if I deserve that..” Are said.

“Drink, That’s a command from your goddess.” Amamikyu pointed at the river, ushering the child to drink up.

Are did as she was told and drank the contents, waking up in her death bed. and of course, waking up from the dead is, yknow, kind of a big deal. So as you could imagine the entire room, then the entire palace, freaked out. Until finally the King and Queen were called to witness the miracle.

“You have been blessed by the spirits, so is the gift of the Onarigami.” The King Said. “You have cheated death itself.”

The King placed a magmatama around Are’s neck as a sign of her spiritual ascension, and that was enough for the concubines to know not to mess with a woman who literally cheated death. She played the role of a Kikoe-Ogmi despite her status, doing ceremonies and blessing people with a long and lasting life.

She actually enjoyed it. Despite her parents disappointment in no marriage or babies with any high ranking officials. Are genuinely was just happy dancing, singing, and doing rituals. The arts of religion and culture were her greatest passion.

However the pressures grew too strong, when not only her family but the entire palace pushed her to have children, to carry on her spiritual success to an heir. And so she reluctantly obliged.

Are fell pregnant with the Kings children, and she was honestly, very nervous. As the months ticked by she felt like anything could go wrong at any moment.. Afraid that someone else would betray her and try and kill her or worse her children again.. She got obsessed with finding ways of protecting herself, lucky charms, spells, trinkets. Until finally her babies were born.

Princess Yuki, and Prince Mizuki. Her babies. Looking at their small little faces she knew she would do anything to protect them. They both grew up with lucky trinkets and protective sigils sewn into their clothes. Are taught both of them how to read and write and how to play music and dance. She tried to give them a normal life despite their royal status.

Her parents, were.. idiots.. to say the least.. They thought since now that they have royal blood in their bloodline they could act high and mighty about it, being disrespectful to everyone in the castle. Are’s reputation was slightly protected due to her status, but the rumors about her family spread throughout the castle like wildfire. Her parents were gravely messing up their con with their own stupidity.

She knew she had to shut them up somehow, She couldn’t let her parents ruin what she had worked so hard to achieve, the life she built for herself, the life she built for her children. So she betrayed her parents, she told the court the truth about their con, and how they were not who they said they were.

She knew that she could play the court like a fiddle if she said the right thing, cried at the right time, played the right part, just like in her dances. And the court spared her and threw her parents out of the castle. Due to her spiritual powers they believed that she was sent here by the gods, despite her parents actions.

Are felt relief, for a little while. She had dodged a bullet. And now her kids are safe..

..Are they safe..?

Are looked at her children, and couldn’t help but feel like there was, a darkness around them. A darkness around her entire family. She didn’t understand why though, She was blessed by her goddess, She was the high priestess of the kingdom. Why did she feel like this?

It was probably all the bad omens, The dead birds that appeared when she was around the King and Queen, water turning into blood, It seemed no matter what Are did, no matter what magic she did or what good luck she tried to acquire nothing worked..

The rest of the palace started to notice the omens, She tried to convince them that she was trying to get rid of them, that it was just temporary. But she saw the doubt in their eyes. The whispers around the palace started to grow bigger and bigger.

“She’s cursed.” One would say. “She’s infected the palace with her madness.” Another would chime.

The Palace was convinced that her magic was nothing more than a fraud. That she is a hysterical mad woman who only was out to ruin the royal family. Are couldn’t believe this.. after everything she had done for them, after all the protection she gave them, after everything she sacrificed.

“It’s probably better if she just gets thrown in the cold palace.” One of the concubines said. “Then nobody would have to deal with her and her cursed children.”

Are, snapped when she heard that. How dare she? How could she say that about her children? About the life she had worked SO hard to create.

She didn’t even realize what she had done until she saw the blood on her hands, and the concubine on the floor unconscious. The guards grabbed her and Are kicked and screamed.

They threw her into the palace prison, Are banged and screamed on the walls of her cage but it was no use. She had messed up. Oh god she had messed up.

Are slid down the wall of her jail cell, she was completely disheveled. Her hair and accessories all askew, her outfit covered in blood. What had she done?

Was it weeks.. days.. months..? How long had she been here? What time is it? There’s no light down here. Are could hardly think straight, everything was fuzzy. She couldn’t focus on anything in the room. Were people in the room? Who knows. She was so dissociated she didn’t know.

“Are no Aji-Ganashi.” A Voice spoke.

Are looked up wearily, she was on the floor of her cell. She saw a priestess with a very stern expression looking down upon her.

Are could barely speak, she just laughed softly. Trying to get up with her weak stature, her legs wobbled as she stood.

The priestess started to speak in hymns and mantras, trying to purify Are of evil. Are knew the spells very well. They wouldn’t work of course. Whoever she was, she didn’t have the gift that Are did.

Are got on her knees in front of the Priestess, grabbing the hem of her skirt and crying into it. Are felt like she wasn’t even in control of her body anymore. She just cried and cried and begged for forgiveness. She screamed she wasn’t evil, please god just let her go.

The Priestess looked at her with disgust, kicking her away from her. She looked to the guards and whispered something and then walked out. Are was alone again. All she could do is cry.

She didn’t know how much time had passed until two guards grabbed her and started to drag her out of her cell. Her vision was blurry and all she could do is let them. She heard a crowd and she heard the sound of chains.

She was tied up to a pole, she looked down at the crowd and saw the King and Queen addressing the audience.

“This woman is cursed. She is an abomination. She charmed us with her wicked ways but she was actually sent by the dark forces. The darkness radiates off of her.” The king said.

The crowd cheered.

“We will not have this curse effect our kingdom, the royal bloodline. So just like her children she will be executed, for the good of the kingdom, for prosperity.”

Are’s ears were ringing. He couldn’t be serious. Did she hear that right? Her children were dead? She was going to die? She was cursed?

No. No. That can’t be right. No.

“Burn the darkness away!” The king ordered the guards.

She felt the heat of the fire, as she desperately tried to escape. She had to escape, she had to save her children, she had to save herself she had to-

She felt a power wash over her, something she had never felt before. And when she screamed out, she saw as all the people around her dropped dead. She laughed manically as the King, Queen, Guards, everyone. Everyone was dead.

The fire slowly consumed her. All she could see was smoke as she lost consciousness..

She woke up, to someone stroking her hair.

She looked and saw, Amamikyu, and a fox. She couldn’t move. Tears streaming down her cheeks.

“You have a knack for getting into trouble little one.” Amamikyu said.

Are couldn’t speak.

The fox slowly pressed a paw on Are’s forehead. She and the creature made eye contact. Are slowly pet their head. The fox was incredibly pleased, wagging their tail.

“My friend wants to give you a gift, my child.” Amamikyu said, scratching Are behind the ears.

“why..” Are could barely speak.

“They like you. Don’t you Inari-San?”

Inari nodded in reply, giving Amamikyu a little yip.

“But for now, you need to rest.” Amamikyu said. “Sleep my child.. You will get your gift when you wake up.”

Are closed her eyes, curling up in her mothers lap. Inari curling up next to her as well.

She fell asleep..

Until 500 years later. A child summons a Kitsune.

And the “curse” begins again.

Ngabuburead dan Cerita Lain

Sore itu hujan masih menyisakan aroma petrikor saat ada tamu yang kusukai sekali suaranya,

"Pakeeeeeet"

Beberapa hari lalu aku memang tengah memesan novel bekas. Semenjak efek pandemi yang menyebabkan beberapa penerbit dan toko buku gulung tikar serta harga kertas jadi naik--pun buku, membeli buku bekas jadi solusi alternatifku supaya tetap bisa mengkonsumsi buku ori dengan harga terjangkau (kecuali buku cetakan lama yang langka--karena biasanya lebih mahal daripada buku baru).

Beberapa tempat yang biasanya aku kunjungi untuk membeli buku bekas dengan harga terjangkau di antaranya adalah Soping (Jogja), Glamedia (Gladak Media--Solo), Kafe buku Lawas (Solo) dan juga Sriwedari (Solo), Kalau online biasanya aku membeli di @bukumantan @danlainlainbuku serta dari hasil koleksi pribadi kawan yang tengah berusaha mengosongkan raknya karena suatu hal. Di Gladak, Soping, dan Sriwedari kadang amat susah untuk mencari buku ori tapi bekas diantara tumpukan bukubuku repro. Tapi kalau diamati dengan seksama bukubuku ori memiliki lem yang tidak sama dengan buku repro, tulisannya juga lebih menyatu daripada bukubuku repro-- yang kadang hurufnya putusputus, buku repro layoutnya kadang juga tidak rapi dan memiliki sampul yang khas.

Selain harga terjangkau, yang kusukai dari membeli buku bekas adalah warna kertas yang sudah menguning-- menghadirkan nuansa klasik gitu soalnya, aromanya yang khas, kalau beruntung dapat cetakan pertama, serta yang tidak kalah menarik adalah jejak pemilik sebelumnya yang biasanya berupa tulisan random, gambar atau coretan aneh (itu semua menghadirkan pengalaman seru di kala menebak maksud yang ingin disampaikan pemilik sebelumnya).

Buku yang tiba sore itu Ibu Nh. Dini punya. Yang kubeli ini merupakan seri Kenangan---yang jumlahnya ada sekian buku. Buku pertama yang menjadi teman ngabubureadku adalah Sakayu. Buku itu selesai, aku melanjutkan buku yang ke dua; Kuncup Berseri. Keduanya benarbenar jadi penyegaran atas kebosanku dengan buku teoritis yang tengah kubaca---aku kira cara bertuturnya yang khas menjadi muasal aku kerasan berlama-lama membacanya, hingga buku itu aku selesaikan kurang dari tiga hari.

Karena telah selesai, di ngabuburead selanjutnya aku membaca buku milik Ziggy Zesyazeoviennazabrizkie yang berjudul Tiga Dalam Kayu. Buku terbarunya ini tersusun dari beberapa cerita. Aku berhenti membaca di cerita ke empat.

Setelahnya, aku membaca chat di gawaiku satupersatu. Tiba di suatu grup, ada yang tengah mengobral koleksi pribadi bukunya. Tertera di sana bukubuku yang memang tengah kucari. Naas, beberapa sudah tertandai dengan warna biru yang menerjemahkan bahwa buku itu telah berpemilik.

Setelah membaca satusatu di masingmasing kolom, akhirnya aku dapat dua buku; Orang-orang Oetimu kepunyaan Felix K. Nesi dan Di Tanah Lada milik Ziggy. Aku memilih buku Orang-Orang Oetimu karena penasaran dengan ceritanya. Sedang bukunya Ziggy, aku sebetulnya sudah membacanya di Ipusnas. Alasan kenapa kemudian aku memungutnya adalah ceritanya yang sangat bagus, dan kurasa aku bakal membaca buku ini lebih dari sekali, jadi aku membelinya. Beberapa hari setelah buku itu datang, senang sekali rasanya karena dapat bukunya Ziggy cetakan pertama dengan harga 30k!

Sama halnya dengan Nh. Dini, Ziggy juga punya cara bertutur yang khas dalam setiap karyanya. Kalau Ibu Nh. Dini lebih ke halus namun lugas serta disertai diksi yang emang itu Ibu Nh. Dini banget, Ziggy lebih ke menarasikan cerita dark namun dibalut humor yang jenaka, random, "tak beraturan", sadis (kadang), serta upnormal. Bahkan untuk beberapa karyanya seperti Semua Ikan Di Langit, Nanti kita Pergi Hari Ini (atau Tempat-Tempat Indah dalam Mimpi-Mimpi Anak-Anak Baik-Baik) dan Tiga dalam Kayu, tugas sebagai pembaca hanyalah menikmati setiap ceritanya.. (biar nggak pusing menebak maksudnya apa hahaha)----Karena hanya dengan menikmati itulah baru kemudian apa yang ingin penulis sampaikan dapat dipahami.

Surga rasanya ketika menemukan buku bagus tuh.. Membaca buku yang biasanya berusaha segera ditandaskan. Untuk bukubuku bagus ini, rasanya ingin berhemat membacanya---ingin berlamalama menikmatinya. Apalagi kalau penulisnya memang memiliki gaya kepenulisan yang khas~ Aku amati orang yang mampu menghasilkan suatu karya yang dapat membentuk identitas dirinya selalu menarik, unik, dan karismatik karena warna yang telah berhasil ia bentuk. Dan itu tercermin pada karyanya..

Jadi, apa warnamu?

Duh, jadi bikin merenung lagi kan (?) hahaha. Untuk menemukan jawaban ini, kayaknya butuh ngabubu-read kedalam diri..

Sudah diperintah Allah pun~

"Bacalah.."

Demikian jurnal ini saya akhiri, terima kasih telah membaca..

Seeing as you are a Kingdom Hearts fan I was wondering if you had read 'Innocence, Malice, & Nihilism' by BukuBuku (AO3) - a Kingdom Hearts/MHA crossover? The story is on hiatus as they work on 'Dost thou Even Steal Hearts' - a Persona 5/MHA (which is also very worth reading).

I have not
