Shrimpfeld

A crude Garfield Mii with a shrimp hat

## Overview

**Shrimpfeld**, real name **Garfield The cat**, also known as **Shrimpfield** is a Mii that, when not dead, inhabits Spagonia Island in Jabroni Mike's Tomodachi Life stream series. He takes on the appearance of a crude Mii recreation of **Garfield** from the comic strip of the same name, created by Jim Davis. In addition, it appears his head has been fused with the tail of a shrimp. Shrimpfeld was given his name by Mike upon seeing the Mii, he was to be officially dubbed "Shrimpfield", a concatenation of Shrimp and Garfield, but Tomodachi Life's nickname character limit forced Mike to settle for Shrimpfeld instead. Although, he was able to change the nickname's pronunciation to "Shrimpfield" in game.

Shrimpfeld is one of the most infamous and beloved Miis on Spagonia Island, so much that his mere existence and non-existence, is often bemoaned by Jabroni Mike's Chat. So much so that it is a common ritual for Mike to hold a session of Judgement Bay (An event in Tomodochi Life where a random selection of Miis from the island will randomly choose between one of 2-4 choices drawn by the player) once every stream, on whether or not Shrimpfeld should be euthanized or spared, likewise on if he should be revived or left to rot in Hell. He has been killed and revived numerous times over the series.

## Origins

While it is unknown how Shrimpfeld came to be, there are 2 popular theories. The first theory is that Garfield and a Shrimp were involved in a teleporter accident resulted in the shrimp being fused to Garfield's Head. The other theory is that Shrimpfeld is a member of the humanoid Zora race from The Legend of Zelda video game series, in which Shrimpfeld's amphibian trait is a shrimp.

## History

### Early Life

Shrimpfeld was born January 31st (year unknown) on Awesome Island, 275-715 Waffle Isles, Strawberry Ocean in the game Tomodachi Life. He first appeared when Mike imported a Garfield Mii via QR Code into Spagonia Island. Upon seeing him he dubbed him Shrimpfield, ultimately being shortened to Shrimpfeld in order to fit the game's nickname character limit. Shrimpfeld's real name is Garfield The cat. In giving Shrimpfeld "*wacky lore*", Mike chose to set Shrimpfeld's relation to him to "Parent", stating that he was his father. Mike also decided to set Shrimpfeld's Creator field to "Satan".

### The Shrimpfeld Hatred

Due to his appearance, Shrimpfeld quickly became the most despised Mii on Spagonia Island by Mike's Twitch Chat, The Island's residents, and even Shrimpfeld himself. His existence almost unanimously being bemoaned by Chat. Comments such as, "What a reprehensible fucking character", and "He's a fucking abomination, please let him die" were very commonly directed towards Shrimpfeld from Mike's Chat.

### The Spagonia Shrimp Trials

Mike eventually appeased Chat's lamenting by beginning to regularly hold a Judgement Bay vote to decide whether Shrimpfeld would be killed (deleted from Spagonia Island) or spared.

The first vote was held on September 1st, 2021 resulting in a 16:16 Tie. A second vote was held immediately thereafter to break the tie, this time with the three choices of; "Kill", "Fuck His Ass", and "Save". Save won with 11, 9 and 12 votes respectively. In that same vote Shrimpfeld voted to kill himself, saying his catchphrase "Lasanga.", in response. This was the first reveal of Shrimpfeld's self hatred and craving for death.

The third vote was held the next Tomodachi Life stream on September 10th, 2021. This time the vote was between; "KiLL Shrimpfeld", "Give Shrimpfeld SLoppy Toppy", and "Let him Cum.", With a 12, 12, and 8 votes tie respectively. Mike speculated that the voters weighed this decision heavily. Mike ruled that neither result would happen. This time, Shrimpfeld did not vote to kill himself, but rather voted to give himself Sloppy Toppy, commenting "I thought this one smelled better". Mike said this revealed that Shrimpfeld "has a bit of a will to live now". During this stream, Mike declared that the vote to kill Shrimpfeld would only be done once a stream.

The fourth vote was held again, on the next Tomodachi Life stream on September 15th, 2021. This vote was between 2 options where Mike drew a crude depiction of Shrimpfeld being killed, represented by him being stabbed in the heart by a knife, and the other option simply saying "No KiLL ShrAmpFeLD". The vote concluded with a 15:17 ratio of votes respectively. On this vote, Shrimpfeld voted for himself to be killed, once again stating his catchphrase in response.

The fifth vote was held on September 29th, 2021, where the 3 choices were "KiLL Shrimpfeld", "SPARE", and "KiLL HAPPY". However, Mike's Chat was thirsty for bloodshed and instead convinced Mike to change the vote to "KiLL Shrimpfeld", "KiLL BoTh", and "KiLL HAPPY". "KiLL HAPPY" won the vote with 2, 12, and 18 votes respectively. Shrimpfeld voted to kill both, not being content to go out on his own, wanting to take Happy with him in a suicide pact. Thus, Happy was executed and Shrimpfeld went to live on.

The sixth vote was held on October 6th, 2021, with 2 choices, one depicting him about to be executed by a guillotine with the word "KiLL" written atop the device, and the other simply saying "Do NOT KiLL ShRampmaN". The vote resulted in a 9:23 ratio respectively. Shrimpfeld voted for the former, stating "It's a good choice. Trust me". At this point, people were beginning to think Shrimpfeld could not die, as if having a curse against his death. A Chat member speculated that the people who were voting to not kill him, hated him even more because not killing him would cause him more suffering.

The seventh vote was held on October 27th, 2021, with the 2 choices being "KiLL Shrimpfeld" and "Do NOT KiLL the 'FeLd", resulting in an 8:24 ratio of votes. At this point, even Mike began to think the votes held himself may be rigged.

### The First Sacrifice

Shrimpfeld was first killed after the first successful vote following numerous votes were held to decide his fate. On November 1st, 2021, the eighth vote was cast, with the 2 choices, the first being a depiction of Shrimpfeld being shot through the chest by a gun, and the other stating "Do Not KiLL". The vote resulted in a 27:5 ratio, finally breaking the long running streak of Shrimpfeld being spared. Once again, Shrimpfeld voted for himself to be killed, his final words being his favourite; "Lasanga". Mike stated that he did not want to kill Shrimpfeld and he was sad to see him go. Ultimately, Shrimpfeld was finally shot and killed, ironically dying on a Monday.

### Post-Shrimp Island

After killing him, Mike revealed that, even though at first he despised Shrimpfeld, he had come to love Shrimpfeld. Soon after the same had also had happened to Mike's Chat, and now lamented the consequence of their actions. A Twitch Chat vote was held to see who was happy that Shrimpfeld was dead, resulting in 57% of chat voting no. More than half of Chat desperately wanted him back. Mike suggested the idea that he could potentially come back. Mike said he thinks Shrimpfeld died to teach the bloodthirsty members of Chat a lesson, asking them to take some time to introspect.

It was suggested by Chat that Mike should now hold further Judgement Bay votes to determine if he gets revived every Tomodachi stream. Mike thought this was such a good idea, that he could not turn down the idea.

### First Resurrection

Shrimpfeld was resurrected, but in a different form as "Shrimpfeld the Risen". He returned to this plane of existence with an elongated, wrinkly, hairless emaciated body, and with his eyes replaced with pitch black recesses. Eventually, he was executed once again.

### Second Resurrection

Shrimpfeld was resurrected once more, as a hot goth babe called "Gothfeld".

## Personality and traits

Shrimpfeld's 2 personality traits as assigned by his original creator in Tomodachi Life are Outgoing, and Trendsetter.

### **Outgoing:**

* Overall: Social, charming, energetic. Character: Comfortable in almost any situation, and makes new connections easily.

### **Trendsetter:**

* Radiant and always on form. Has an effortless style that is admired by all. Able to easily adapt to new situations.

"He consumes, it's what he does." ―Mike in response to seeing Shrimpfeld's assigned personality traits.

"People often look to me for inspiration." ― Shrimpfeld greeting Mike for the first time.

Even Shrimpfeld hates his own existence and longs for the sweet release of death, often voting to off himself during Judgement Bay whenever he's involved.

Sometimes he will remember something funny and burst out laughing in Public.

He always knows what to say when he meets someone new, thinking it as a gift he has. Mike speculated that Shrimpfeld blurts out a *specific* single word.

"Shrimpfeld exudes Omega Energy." ― Mike
