Bun Bun was the dance troupe leader of the Erudancers at PSU and is the widow of Miss Green.

## Early Life to Young Adulthood

Bun Bun was born in a village named Elvira in the now extinct nation Bunnin which makes up South Pixistan. Their father, Bunnaboy, was a carpenter and their mother, Connee, was a construction worker. Bun Bun is the sixth born of ten siblings. They became fascinated by dance after watching Easter celebrations. The Bunnin Orthodox Church celebrates Easter with several performances ranging from acapella singing to elaborately coordinated dances known as *fluffles*.

When Bun Bun was 13, the Pixistan army invaded South Pixistan. Bun Bun and their family evacuated to a nearby bomb shelter which ended up collapsing, leaving only their mother and second youngest sister alive. Bun Bun and their remaining family members attempted to cross the border into the Democratic Republic of Chromatina (DRC) but were captured. Bun Bun and their family were forced to live in North Pixistan to lodge at re-education camps before being moved to East Pixistan to settle in their assigned home. Bun Bun enrolled into the Moviestar Youth League where they emphasized in art. Upon graduation, Bun Bun majored in Danceology at Pixi State University (PSU).

While at PSU, Bun Bun started their own dance troupe called the Erudancers with other students, where they met Miss Green. Bun Bun and Miss Green celebrated their queer platonic wedding after they graduated and settled in Movie City.

## After Miss Red's Death

Bun Bun became riddled with guilt over Miss Red's death and often times blamed themself for it. They thought that their decent understanding of Booniese from Miss Green's studies could have saved their life. Bun Bun fell into a deep depression and coped by drinking Boonie Juice. He struggled to discipline their boonie child and grandchildren, letting them roam around Movie City and raid anywhere that had high concentrations of children and/or infants. Bun Bun depended on Cletus for support who reminded them to take their antidepressants and take care of chores. When Miss Green returned, they felt even more guilty despite Miss Green assuring them that it wasn't their fault. It took Bun Bun a few months to understand her words.

## After Miss Green's Death

Bun Bun fell into a deep depression that required them to be sent to a psychiatric ward. Before this, they were an active proponent of the Anti-Pixi Movement, choreographing flash mobs, planning dance parties, and directing art films to spread their message. Once Bun Bun was released from the ward, he found meaning in life again once he saw Fetus and its octuplet grandboonies dancing in a circle around a baby before disemboweling it. Bun Bun started the #dothegrerk movement (a movement where moviestars danced Miss Green's twerk style to express their defiance of Pixi Star).

## After Miss Yellow's Death

With their children, boonie grandchildren, and boonie niblings to look after on a nearly daily basis, Bun Bun suffered a meltdown and needed to be hospitalized after they ran into the street and got hit by a truck. Miraculously, Bun Bun survived and was able to make a full recovery. Bun Bun credits their recovery to Just Hope, who led its followers to pray at Bun Bun's hospital bed every night. Bun Bun later converted to Just Hope's religion, Boonism, and attended services with them every Sunday. Through Boonism, Bun Bun was able to recover from their trauma more easily and create more art.

## Works

#### Erudancer Era

* *Pink Hole Sun* — the Erudancers, all dressed in pink, do elaborate, geometric dances around a burning pile of books. There are multiple cutaways to Pixi Star's speeches and parties. A somber version of *Bulletproof* plays throughout
* *Come With Us* — a site-specific performance in the MSP Forest. The Erudancers crawl around on all fours. If they encountered a flower, they would stand up and do a flip, and then continue crawling. If they encountered a log, they would lay down and roll for 11 seconds. If they encountered boonie droppings, they would scream for 1 minute. The performance ends when each Erudancer encounters a different flower, log, and boonie dropping.
* *How To Grow A Peach* — each of the Erudancers represent a deity who have a supernatural gift (Miss Green = the power to rapidly name green things, Fernando = the power to use the power of the planets to become an alien, Stone = is able to imitate stones perfectly, Emo Gurl = a master poet in Emo Literature), except for Sharles. Bun Bun, the deities' advisor, warns Sharles that if he does not discover what his power is, he will be sacrificed to the Supragod (depicted as a green couch with a wide mouth full of razor-sharp teeth). Sharles is tasked with challenging each deity to see if he can overpower them, but he fails at all of them except for Stone because she let him win. Stone is then set to be sacrificed instead, but Sharles disrupts the ritual by twerking on the Supragod. Bun Bun then explains this was all an elaborate set-up to help Sharles discover his power: twerking. Sharles, unfortunately, reacts with a mix of shock, disappointment, and confusion.

#### The Green Period

* *The Dissection of a Dictator* — A wax figure of Pixi Star is filled with cow organs. Bun Bun is seen cutting open the wax figure and removing organs. At each removal of the organ, the film cuts away to disturbing scenes of Pixi Star (biting off a moviestars face while under the influence of Boonie Salt, coprophagia, urophagia, running around naked by elementary schools, etc.). Miss Green recites poetry throughout.
* *That Pink Pink* — Bun Bun conducts a boonie choir which sings about cunnilingus in Booniese. Miss Green, dressed in a pink and white striped onesie, dances dramatically around them. There are three different weather changes throughout. In the first third, the sun is shining in a cloudless sky and a single AR-13 falls out of a tree. In the middle, raging storm clouds form and begin raining pink pocket pussies. In the last third, the sky becomes a white sheet of clouds. Tiny clones of Pixi Star emerge from the pocket pussies and crawl around.

#### The Red Period

* *Fashionista* — Bun Bun dresses a nude mannequin to look like Pixi Star. The mannequin then melts into the floor and seeps into the ground by a nearby farm. A family of moviestars harvest their vegetables and prepare meat. After they pray at the dinner table, the food turns pink and grows limbs and eyes a la Pixi Star. The family escape into a cornfield. Meanwhile, the pink food hike down the road.
* *A Series of Poses* — At the beginning of each of the 13 scenes, Bun Bun strikes a dramatic pose. Each scene then shows a different storyline featuring moviestars of all walks of life getting ready to go to a party. But at each party, the moviestars die in horrific ways (stampeded by boonies, death by camera flash, etc.) Their dead bodies mimic Bun Bun's poses.
* Mars — Since this art film was made after Miss Red's death, it was extremely visceral and aggressive. Bun Bun is seen building a wooden house and setting it on fire. They build a stone sculpture of Miss Green and then pushes it so that it falls into traffic and causes a pile-up. Bun Bun wraps a bat with barbed wire and destroys 10 pink mannequins will shouting different names referring to Pixi Star (the Pink Menace, the Pink Dictator, etc.)

#### The Yellow Period

* *Rebirth* — Bun Bun films themself nude giving birth to Pixi Star in a bath tub in the MSP Forest. As they give birth, a series of original compositions by Bun Bun play in the background by a concert band of boonies + Miss Yellow.

#### The Brown Period

* *Untitled* — Bun Bun and Miss Brown construct a white statue of Pixi Star. They then time lapse footage of the white statue over the course of 66 days. Boonies stop by to lick, urinate upon, defecate upon, vomit on, caress, sing to, vent to, and dance around the Pixi Star statue.

## Fun Facts

* The names of Bun Bun's siblings are also repeated syllables as well: (from oldest to youngest) Ban Ban, Ben Ben, Bin Bin, Boon Boon, Bōn Bōn, Been Been, Bün Bün, Byn Byn, and Bn Bn.
* Bun Bun's aesthetic comes from a branch of goth culture called Hop Goth, goth mixed with Bunninese culture.
* Bun Bun's relationship with their boonies is quite complicated. Bun Bun originally found Fetus living in a cardboard box at the outskirts of MSP City. Bun Bun was reluctant to take in Fetus because in Bunninese culture, moviestars eat boonies and they are not seen as pets. But Bun Bun saw themself in the boonie and pitied it, so they took it home. However, Bun Bun did not know about Fetus's disturbing past. So when Fetus started eating babies / children, they became fearful and distant. After when Miss Green passed, Bun Bun and the boonies' relationship disappeared. The boonies dropped out of boonie school and they spent their time hunting for babies / children in the MSP City. Bun Bun was not able to locate the boonies when the MSP police was searching them. But when the boonies reappeared to host borgies at their house, they did not report the boonies to the authorities because Bun Bun was their legal guardian and responsible for their actions as well. Thus, Bun Bun simply made sure the boonies were not caught by the police.
* Bun Bun is more of a homebody nowadays, only leaving the house to run errands, shoot art films, or help the M&M siblings.
* As a side gig, Bun Bun helps the Red Boonies in their operations.
