You see a soul on a cross covered in flowers with shellfish at its feet and you suddenly resent them. It's not like you want to be the one up there on the cross, but so many people left flowers and shellfish for them. It should have been you...

Picture the soul on the cross, flowers all around it and shellfish at its feet. Feel your resentment grow.

Mnemonic

You realize you resent them because it looks like they're having fun (ふん). You aren't having fun, and you wanna be! How dare they have fun when you aren't!

You wanna have fun hanging out on a cross with flowers and all the shellfish you can eat. Your resentment grows and grows as you watch the soul having everything you suddenly want. Fun fact: when you see 賁 in a kanji, the reading is probably going to be ふん.
