ANY more kikuo or maretu songs

like shikabane no odori/corpse dance and kimi wa dekinai ko for the former, or like darling and coin locker baby for the latter. the former two would probably go to niigo, with shikabane no odori being a full group cover and kimi wa dekinai ko being a mafuena cover. i don't know why, but i think darling could reasonably go to any unit? coin locker baby would be niigo or l/n i think

i know it won't get in but another maretu song i want is gokiburi no aji/the taste of cockroach. underrated GEM of a song. it needs a wxs cover too. and since it's a song about bullying i think rui should be in the cover (i also would DIE if rui sung it /pos). i think it would be either an emurui duet (the singer's optimism reminds me of emu) or full group.

also another maretu song, inochi no odori/dance of life came out towards the beginning of this year and is a BANGER. would probably get either a niigo or wxs cover? maybe vbs?

not a maretu song or a kikuo song but abnormality dancing girl by guchiry needs to be in the game. it would go to l/n, vbs, or niigo. i think it fits ena most idk

and lastly, someone brought up lost umbrella by inabakumori during the stream and now it's a need. obviously a niigo cover. maybe it could be a l/n cover, maybe a vbs cover, but a niigo cover is the most likely. the cover would probably have mizuki.

QUICK WHAT ARE SOME COVERS/VS SONGS YOU WANT IN THE GAME GO

woah its been a while since i got scared by a song (thanks steampianist) ...i think the last was either gokiburi no aji (2019-2020ish) or apotropaism (smtime in 2017)

Q36: Have you ever been forced to eat dead cockroaches?

•  Yes     •  No

[makerofmadness]

kirby and/or bandee for the ask thing? if you're still doing it

still doing it!

I can do both:

~Kirby~

Favorite Thing About Him: Cute bean. 'nuff said. (also I swear his portrayal in the light novels is incredible)

Least Favorite Thing About Him: Kirby is a flawless being in any incarnation (that I've seen), I have no least favorite thing about him.

Favorite Line: I can't choose just one but pretty much everything from that part of the Battle Royale novel (which I will translate in the future) where he thinks Waddle Dee is talking about a grape-eating contest is just- yes-

brOTP: Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandee.

OTP: Kirfluff. I like cute.

nOTP: Obviously, any adult character. I also don't really like shipping him with the Animal Friends (who are pretty age-ambiguous though I think it's safe to say that Kine is an adult 'cus he has a wife) since I really love the headcanon that they're basically his family... and yeah I flat-out headcanon that because I'm a sucker for cute wholesome stuff. So yeah.

Random Headcanon: He's the most likely to randomly break out into inspirational "never give up!" songs during journeys and his friends hate it every time (except Gooey probably).

Unpopular Opinion: I think Kirby (in the games at least) can talk 'cus he does in the light novels.

Song I Associate With Him:

Gokiburi no Aji/The Taste of Cockroach, by MARETU

Translation can be found here: https://vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/ゴキブリの味_(Gokiburi_no_Aji)

Don't ask what goes on inside my head to make me make this associate, something something Star Allies-

Favorite Picture Of Him: There are too many but a good one would be that one picture from the Battle Royale novel where he's just hugging Waddle Dee but I don't know if that pic's available online so yeah. For now I'll just show a random pic of him that I have saved and also really like:

Triple Deluxe good.

-

~Bandee~

Favorite Thing About Him: C u t e . (I am a simple girl, I like simple things)

Least Favorite Thing About Him: I don't see any flaws here. This is a good boi.

Favorite Line: How can I choose just one? I haven't even gotten that far into the Battle Royale novel yet, frick... ok I guess I like the part of the Kirby Clash novel where he just goes into overprotective mode over Kirby and wants to stab Magolor or something but-

brOTP: Dedede, Meta Knight, and Kirby.

OTP: I don't ship him with anyone and don't really have many opinions on other ships but I guess Saildanna is pretty cute.

nOTP: Probably any adult characters??? I think he's supposed to be a kid in the novels??? I honestly can't tell. I'm kinda on the fence about what I think his age is, to the point where I just imagine Waddle Dees as having ascended past age in all their perfection or something. I don't know. It's just like with Magolor I swear-

Random Headcanon: He has an identity crisis without his bandanna on.

Unpopular Opinion: I don't know if any of my opinions are unpopular enough, other than how I keep switching between imagining him as an adult and as a kid and most people just stick with him being a kid.

Song I Associate With Him: Am I allowed to just say "the Apple Juice song" 'cus I don't really associate him with anything else right now?
