hihi !! my name's fumika and i absolutely adore love live! my best girls are honoka, ruby, and rina, and i also have an immense love for the aqours second years! honoka is one of my major comfort characters and dokis and seeing cute fanart of her and listening to her solos with her beautiful voice always cheers me up. how optimistic, energetic, and determined she is is something i admire so so much and i hope that one day maybe i can be more like her.

i got into love live! sometime around 2016, when i was just entering middle school. everything made me anxious that year since it was new people and new things and i became really, really shy once i realized how judgemental people could be. i put up a major shell with everyone i came into contact with. i didn't want to go out with people or anything either out of fear i wouldn't be good enough. one day i was looking for mobile anime games to play, and i just so happened to find school idol festival !!! it sparked my interest in not only love live and rhythm games, but also music. i started with watching love live sunshine instead of school idol project which was a weird decision on my part, but i loved it so so much !! i loved the performances and the songs and the character designs and the messages throughout the show about finding what makes you shine, chasing your dreams, friendships, and also a little bit of coming to terms with yourself. to me, this is what love live! stands for! it became a major comfort for me, and since i was shy and really similar to ruby back then, seeing her character development in s2 made me even more happy.

i watched school idol project a while after, but no other character got all my love as much as honoka did. a lot of what i see in her i see in myself and she's just a really relatable character to me. you'll probably see me post about her and my other girls a lot here.. i call them my babies or wives or girlfriends a lot and i hope that's not too annoying! it's just one of my ways of expressing my love for them. i also have self inserts i might talk about from time to time because it's one of my ways of coping with things,, love live! is a major comfort series and has helped me a lot throughout my life. i'm trying to step out of my comfort zone and talk to more people who like things i like so i hope i can make friends here !!
