#boueibu valentine

[fortune-maiden]

I know this scene isn’t supposed to be anything more than a throwaway gag for Kinshirou’s bad luck

but can I just say how much I hate this gag as a fanfic writer? xD

Gotta redraw this as Zundar lol

Shibusan was also selling Boueibu merch in August, including Ikaho collab merch until the end of September. Details here.

September 17th was Nanao's birthday. If you wanted this cake + cupcake set + macaron set in time for the day, then it should have been preordered until September 10th. This came with a bonus badge with the same design. The cake (which comes in 2 sizes - size 4: diameter: 12 cm, height: 5 cm and size 5: diameter: 15 cm, height: 7 cm) is in chocolate/chocolate cream and sponge/whipped cream varieties, with strawberries or yellow peaches inside for both (customer's choice), and the design is printed on to a sheet. The ink has a chance of running if you aren't careful. There are also Atsushi (preorder deadline: September 28th), Taishi (preorder deadline: September 29th), Kyotaro (preorder deadline: November 21st), Io (preorder deadline: December 10th) and Yumoto (preorder deadline: January 19th) versions. The cupcakes have a diameter of 8.4 cm, a height of 6.5 cm and come in a set of 4 - the cream on the cupcakes has matcha (green), chestnut (yellow), strawberry (pink) and chocolate (brown) and you can choose between black tea and orange peel/chocolate chip flavours for the cupcakes themselves. The macarons have a diameter of 4.3 cm, a height of 2.3 cm and come in a set of 6 - they come in strawberry (red), pistachio (green), orange (yellow) and chocolate (brown) flavours.

There are also Christmas cakes + macarons (preorder deadline: December 17th if you want it by December 24th) and Valentine's Day cakes + macarons (deadline: presumably February 7th) which come with badges (2 possible designs, 1 can badge that matches the design of the cake you chose). The Christmas cakes only have strawberries, as opposed to the strawberries and yellow peaches of the Valentine's and birthday cakes. The cakes only come in size 5. The badges are 54 mm in diameter. There was also a 5% discount applied to preordered Christmas cakes between November 6th and November 12th 2023.

The Shibukawa collab finished in September 2023. The crepes and drinks sold well. The collab page doesn't exist anymore, but there is a message from Shibukawa City: "To all the fans, thank you very much for coming to Ikaho time and time again. Look forward to the day we can hold another collab✰."

There was an online lottery on sale from October 20th at 12:00 pm - November 6th 2023 at 11:59 pm (all dates/times JST), with items estimated to be received in mid-January 2024. 1 attempt was 880 yen (tax incl.).

For said online lottery, if you won the A prize (probability of getting: 4.1%), you could pick which of the 2 fabric posters you wanted:

The B prize was a set of acrylic stands (probability: 13.8%, random out of 10 different kinds):

The C prize was acrylic keychains (probability: 20.5%, random out of 10 different kinds). The Anime Bako account (which is posting these tweets) recommends attaching them to a bag when you go out:

There are also D prizes (1 of 10 random square can badges, probability: 27.4%) and E prizes (1 of 20 random Polaroid-style cards, probability: 34.2%):

On January 1st 2024, the Boueibu official Twitter (X) account wished everyone a year overflowing with love and happiness. Please remember the Boueibu series this year too.

(Update: In terms of fruit, the Christmas cakes only have strawberries, while the Valentine's Day cakes have the choice of strawberries or yellow peaches.)

Creator: @lidoxia Recipient: @a-writing-trickster-angel Title: Sweet Valentine’s Characters/Pairings:KinAtsu Comment: Happy Valentine’s Day! Honestly as soon as I read “monster shenanigans” I knew I had to draw this :D based on that episode from s2 where Yumoto eats the weird chocolates but this time Kin-chan is the victim… save them! I adore your fics so I hope you like it :D (this went out of hand and ended being an 8 page comic :P). Read from right to left like a manga! (//whispers, also bless silvormoon for being an amazing beta)

Uhm.. hi... I think I’m the first one to post for the valentines exchange (It’s possibly because of time difference.. Its already 3:42 pm here in my country)...

My first gift that I’ve ever made in this fandom is for...

@animetrashfire

I’m so sorry if it looks unfinished.. school’s a mess right now but I really tried my best to make this look decent enough for an exchange...

By the way, most flowers here have meaning (even that clover at the sign) (and guess where I get the name of the shop XD)... There’s a lot of roses in here, mostly gold, coral and the cliche red ones... There’s carnation too (red)... And a lot more flowers (I’m sorry my mind is at a whirl right now), ahehehe...

Anyway, I really hope you’ll enjoy this humble gift of mine, animetrashfire-san....

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!! ^_^ <3

Media hyperfixation: Boueibu! 📌, ✨, 🎶, 💕, 🏳️‍🌈 and 💎

Yessssss

📌 how did you find your hyperfixation?

Tumblr. Someone I originally followed for... Sailor Moon I think? posted an edit with the SC in flower crowns. Shortly after there was a promo post of sorts (you know those “omg watch this and here’s why” lists). It looked hilarious, and I watched the first two episodes on a whim. I knew I would love it within five minutes.

✨ what draws you towards your hyperfixation? what is interesting about it?

I fell in love with the humor. Aside from that, I love how the the monsters and their complexes or problems that lead to them being turned into monsters set a theme for the episode, and the DC’s idle talks are always around the same subject. And especially in s1 all the loveless felt so real! Comically exaggerated of course, but deep down they dealt with realistic issues. I saw myself in many. And I love how, at the end of the day, the most important form of love that Boueibu promotes is self love! Some of Yumoto’s speeches seem to contradict each other, and they do, because the show acknowledges that there is no catch-all answer to the question of happiness and self-fulfillment! Everyone has different needs! It’s neat!! Man, do I have a lot of thoughts about s1 loveless.

🎶 if your hyperfixation has songs/an ost, what is your favorite song from it?

Full of bangers and bops, here’s a non-comprehensive list: I refuse to rank the op-ed’s. Never Know and Why So Cool feed my emo soul. Narukoryu-kabu de Moukeru Houteishiki (god I hope I got that right) has swing. Brother Lover Rapper is RAP. IT’S BOUEIBU AND IT’S RAP. WHAT MORE COULD I WISH FOR? LITERALLY?? IT COMBINES TWO OF MY PASSIONS. Sync a Think is an ioryuu anthem. Does your ship have an official anthem?? I could make my brother listen to Idols no Shinjitsu and he would like it blissfully unaware that it’s from an anime OST (has anyone figured out what the lyrics are yet..?)

💕 tell us about one of your favorite characters and why you like them!

I’ve rambled about Ibushi enough tolast for a life time but who cares! Who am I if not THE Ibushi stan? You enabled this.

I still don’t know WHY I fell for him so bad but doesn’t matter. First anime character I called my husband. Unfailingly loyal, polite and patient but not without snark, passive-aggressive at times, knows when to pull punches and when not to, great backstory for his molluscophobia, deep velvety voice, tall dark and handsome, best oneliners, observant (contrary to what a popular fandom meme would have you believe). Criminally underused. You know there’s something amiss when a character SHINES in the side canons but could be completely removed from the main canon with minimal consequences to the story.

🏳‍🌈 do you have any headcanons (lgbt, race, neuro, etc) that are important to you?

At this point I can’t NOT see Yumoto as autistic. He has a “unique way of thinking”, he has special interests (animals), the cuddling is a sensory thing (he needs some kind of physical contact a lot), he stims (remember when ioryuu were giving each other the silent treatement and Yumoto, to quote Atsushi, “resorted to repetitive movement” and was so engrossed in it he didn’t even notice right away that Wombat was removed from his arms), he has routines (again, a certain number of cuddles), he minmaxes at school (zeroes in Japanese due to the aforementioned “unique thinking” but can allegedly tell the area of a shape by looking, so clearly he excels at geometry), he has trouble catching some social cues and conventions. That boy is autistic, y’all.

I have my sexuality and gender headcanons as well, but nothing so “important” I wouldn’t be able to adjust different interpretations for fics or whatever. Like my Ryuu is always 100% bisexual babeyyyy but if someone prefers him as gay that’s right-o, I’ve talked about ace Ryuu before, and I can even deal with him being honestly straight (bonus points if Io is still in love with him. One-sided pining train here we GOOOOO). I generally headcanon Io as demisexual, but have written him as gay as well. Is En gay or pan? Why can’t we have both? I’m flexible. But Yumoto is autistic, amen.

💎 are there any fun facts or trivia that you would like to share?

In s2 ep1 the DC talk about hourglasses. Ryuu seems to think saunas often have them, to which Io mentions he has a friend with a Finnish sauna in their home. First of all, this indicates Io has friends outside the Defense Club, which I still cannot believe after four years. Pics or it didn’t happen, Io. Secondly, and this is where I’m actually going with this, Finnish saunas do not have hourglasses in them. Why the hell would they? Not saying you CAN’T or SHOULDN’T but why WOULD you have an hourglass in a sauna?? I’m Finnish. Pretty much every Finnish home has a sauna. So does each swimming hall, usually more than one on both men’s and women’s sides of the showers. My family are sauna enthusiasts even by Finnish standards. I do consider myself an authority on this. I’ve been to, who knows, dozens of saunas in the 24 years I’ve lived on this Earth. Never seen an hourglass in my life. I’ve asked around, neither has anyone else I know. This unimportant throwaway line BOTHERS ME. Sauna is an integral part of Finnish culture. If you had to sum up the entirety of Finland in one word or one concept it would be sauna. You can’t just go around making lies. Sure there are saunas in many other countries and cultures as well and naturally they vary, but what the hell. What the shit and fuck. Look me in the eyes. I’m not joking.

media hyperfixation asks I promise to chill if you send in any more

Under the Rain! Part 3/3 Previous

Also on Ao3

The end! This was a wild ride and I dont know if I want to do it ever again lol

[crickets-lovely-place]

Being in a small fandom is so weird. Like, “there’s at least seven people in this valentine’s exchange we’re doing! Wow! That’s at least seven new things! Wow! That’s so much stuff!” 

Seven things is not? so much stuff??

Also I really hope there are more than seven people in the exchange but I am not privy to this information. XD

[italyobsessions]

happy valentines day!! :3c

[rurikorisu]

Happy Valentine’s day !  Since 2018, I’ve started to draw each pair each year. Finally I’ve completed the Boueibu this year and my chibi’s style changed a little ^^’ 

[badly-drawn-boueibu]

First post of my new side blog (HOLO IT’S ME ADRI) So, I decided to make this blog/ask blog thingy, because I had a fun time drawing the Boueibu boys in this poor fashion

So, I gift you: Ryuu’s own Valentine’s Day Plans 

with his bf Io

RobiHachi Drama CDs

Waiting for them to arrive at From Japan so I can forward them, but I'm thinking about their names and what they could be about. (Please correct me if the names are wrong, I used a combination of Google Translate and Jisho.)

Don't know whether the CDs take place during/after the episodes that come on the volumes they're grouped with, or if they're post-series. Would make more sense if they're around the episodes they come with, but who knows?

Once the CDs are in my hands, I'll upload them to the Internet Archive.

Drama CD 1 People Have Different Tastes (ドラマCD① 人の好みは千差万別, DoramaCD① Hito no Konomi wa Sensabanbetsu)

Probably Robby and Hatchi having disagreements like in episode ten.

Drama CD 2 What is the Lost Thing? (ドラマCD② なくしものはなんですか？, DoramaCD② Nakushimono wa Nandesuka?)

Can't think of anything that was lost in the Pluto or merfolk episodes, can you? What comes to mind for me is the Cheshire raccoon from the opening.

Drama CD 3 The Relationship is a Different Star (ドラマCD③ 縁は異なもの星なもの, DoramaCD③ Enishi wa Kotonamono Hoshinamono)

This is the one that's paired with Wombat's episode and the eel episode. Could there be a Boueibu reference??

Drama CD 4 Duty and Clams (ドラマCD④ 義理とハマグリ, DoramaCD④ Giri to Hamagiri)

This is from the volume where they go to the theme park, but judging by the title I think it's going to be about the robot planet (since iirc they thought it was a planet where they could eat clams). But who knows? The duty aspect could be marriage. "Obligation" might be a better translation than "duty" since I know "giri choko" is the "obligation chocolate" given out on Valentine's Day in Japan.

Drama CD 5 Promised Dog (ドラマCD⑤ 約束のイッヌ, DoramaCD⑤ Yakusoku no Innu)

I found out "Innu" when spelled like that is like "doggo" in English. Maybe it's an original story where they find a dog?

Drama CD 6 Memories and Thoughts are Priceless (ドラマCD⑥ 思い出と想いはプライスレス, DoramaCD⑥ Omoide to Omoi wa Puraisuresu)

Definitely a retrospective of going to Isekandar. Maybe the start of their journey to Izumondar?

[magicalgirlsandcerulean]

Preorders for the Boueibu (LOVE and Happy Kiss) Valentine's Day cakes and macaron sets (with matching badges) are still being accepted. There's only a limited number of these, so order quickly if you want some.

Hi there! Submitting my piece for the exchange ^^.

[kinatsuaddict17]

Me and my friends had our own impromptu valentines exchange, but we have to give gifts to all of our friends (luckily were only 3 XD), and my otaku friend gave me this cutie <3

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!!!! ^_^
