I guess I should finally post my introduction! I have waited too long.
A little information about me (Scroll down to see my Love Live! story)
I am the Quietchild its a inside joke for my username. I am a very loud and talkative person. When I was younger, two of my siblings were having an argument. My parents scolded us (How dare they include me), and told us we wouldn't be having a dessert. I jumped in, and said "... But I am the quiet child. I should get dessert." My whole family stayed silent and suddenly laughter abrupted. I got dessert, but somehow my parents still don't believe that I could ever be a quiet child. So I decided to forever use it as a username.

My Love Live! Story
My story isn't a normal one. I was in my anime craze phase (I still watch anime, but now it is not my only genre of tv I watch). I was watching the show Blend S episode 5 before I was introduced to SIF.

The link is to the part that made me get into love live! In the episode Kaho and Akizuki were playing a mobile idol game with music. I have never heard of the idol sub-genre nor played anime art-stylistic games. I played the normal games like candy crush, subway surfers, and so on. But in that three to four-ish minute clip of episode bought me into the idea of downloading an idol game. So I search up Blend-S video game references which brought me to this site.

The anime gameplay resembles Love Live! School Idol Festival. Somehow that named just stood out. So I download SIF, and I just couldn't get enough on it. I am not sure if I start in winter of 2018 or the new year of 2019. I am pretty sure I started playing right between those two years. The game started on the storyline of Aqours as the main group. So I was very distant with Muse at first because I was going through all the Aqours stories. When I first was introduced to Muse, I was thinking who are these girls Muse girls they can't replace my Aqours. Although, I quickly fell in love with Muse finding out they were the original School Idols.
(NOTE: I don't think one group is better than the other I appreciate both groups: Now that I am in the idol world I am very open to new groups because that's how the franchise grows, but I understand Muse shall always be the first school idols)
I found out later that year that there would be a new app coming out, and a new group. I wasn't there in the beginning of Muse or Aqours so I was super excited to follow the beginning story of Nijigaki. I got the world SIFAS when it first came out. I remember refreshing the app to see when I could open it because the app came out to download a day before you could actually play the game. I played for a week and study how to play, but gave up after while. I did play the Secret Party event, but I didn't get through all the stories. I did get the events cards, but I ranked 80,000 on that event. I then decided it was best to wait for a YouTube tutorial I could understand. I finally decided to give the app another try (I was still playing SIF at that time when I stopped playing SIFAS) I was very luckily at the time I opened the app. Because the game was at the next event Your Models Are Here. I watched 5 to 6 videos on how to play, and I now feel like a expert. I now play everyday of SIFAS, and I gotten pretty good. I had to grind for a long time after that, but now I am rank 51 and I have a lot of cards. I also frequently update my card list if you want to see what I all have. I love this community I know I told the mechanics of how I had gotten into this community, but the school idols really touched me. It was a story of friends as they train hard to great beautiful songs to lift people spirits and there own. I haven't watch the anime because I want to get all movies and dvds of the series. I just don't want to stop part way through the show because my streaming service doesn't provide one of the movies. The community is just so kind, and unjudgmental. The story and the plot a game is so interesting. I listen to the groups music all the time. My first Love Live! cd was Nijigasaki Tokimeki Runners. I hope someday to get all the music because it just so beautiful and heart felt.
I would also like to thank community creators on YouTube that I think some you guys should check out. I share what version the creators play on. Some notes about what they do there videos on and I wrote some special fan notes for the support of these creators.
