In which case, the full story will include the short bits. Story time, I guess. I like talking a lot.~
A few years ago I was dating someone and things just didn't really end up working out. I wasn't the right person for them and I figured it'd be best to break up with them. We broke up, didn't handle things the best, and I felt pretty horrible about it. I felt super guilty about it and needed to get my mind off of it so I started watching some stuff on YouTube. I often got ads for this one idol game, BanG Dream (or bandori), and I decided it'd be cool to try out and give it a shot because I needed a new game to focus on. I started playing more and practicing and I eventually just added strangers on it to my friends list and noticed some of them had their twitter accounts in their profiles. I decided to try and find other people who played on Instagram, and it led me to making a bunch of the friends I have now and meeting my boyfriend. A lot of these people were into Love Live (since they're pretty similar, anime music franchises made by the same company, both with rhythm games on mobile devices) and my boyfriend suggested I might be interested in it because of that. We sat down and watched the whole series (at the time) together and I started to really get into it and it's become that big thing for me. I got super hooked because I really enjoy the characters and the music, and the plot of the anime, and now I'm here!
So the short form is, I had a breakup which got me into idol stuff, I met people through that who introduced me to Love Live.
Hope that answers it, let me know if you have any other questions!
PG?
