hi! this is my first post here but i really felt like the "what's your love live story?" event was a perfect place to jump off from! it all started about 2 years ago. i wasn't going through the best time, with failing grades and bullying in school, so i really needed something else to get invested into. i had heard a decent amount about love live over the years, since i spent time in anime and rhythm game communities, so i went on the google play store and downloaded school idol festival. i don't want to make this all about ruby, but... i immediately fell in love with her character. she was the starting girl i picked in game, and just from reading the stories and seeing what she said on the home screen she helped me stay connected to the world of love live. i didn't know how to do much (it was my first gacha game of any sort), but reading the aqours stories and playing the songs really made me happy and gave me something good to do when my life wasn't too good. nowadays, i have to say... i'm a BIT addicted. my comfort from sif led to me buying a ruby nesoberi, and then some love live rubber straps, and them more nesoberis... and at this point i have a pretty decent you and ruby ita bag, a hanayo bag in progress, and uh... 13 nesoberis. yeah... but they all make me so happy, and talking to other people who also love love live makes me really happy! so i owe a lot to these girls, even if it isn't as much as some do. i'm truly grateful that i found them :) i added a picture of one of my ruby nesos that i took at a cat cafe! i hope you like it :)
