I want to tell you how I got into Love Live! But let me tell you: It isn't a special, romantic or beautiful story. It was kind of random. But let's start: I used to be on an app called Picsart. Around 2014 I was part of a small anime community there and one guy there told me about an interesting and fun game he is playing. He was like: 'It's a mobile game with cute singing anime girls. Damn I am addicted.. they are so cute and waifu material, etc. ' You know.. the way he talked about it, I thought he was talking about some kind of sexual loli game so I wasn't interested in it first. Later on there was a friend of mind who started talking about Love Live! School Idol Festival (I seriously didn't know she was talking about the same game like that guy, I realised that very late). I've got curious since it seemed like a lot of fun. I've downloaded the game and there was the 'Kotori Bird watching' event ongoing and I tried to get her. Spoiler: I didn't but well.. It was the day I got pulled into idol hell. I wanted to know more and more about the whole franchise so I started to dig deeper and deeper. I watched everything of Love Love! SIP in few days and listened to every song of μ's. I was deep into idol hell but after a while I' ve lost interest again. Somehow μ's songs weren't appealing to me anymore. Idk when exactly I came back into the fandom but I think it was when Aqours got added to LLSIF JP. I wasn't updated about who Aqours was so I seriously thought they will be new rivals of μ's. When I started watching Love Live Sunshine later on, I've entered idol hell again and since that I am still caught in it with no regrets and I don't want to leave ever again. I don't have a lot of spare time because of work, family, friends, my boyfriend, etc. but whenever I find some time I am gladly spending it with Love Live! My boyfriend used to call Love Live! 'useless thing' but since he realised how much it means to me, he supports me. He still calls it 'Firlefanz' (it is German and means that something is useless or a waste of time) but he just calls it like that to tease me and probably because he can't remember the name haha. So everytime I play SIF All Stars I tell him: I am playing the Firlefanz game right now. :) My Firlefanz means a lot to me. The music, 27 wonderful girls, two amazing rival groups, two amazing games, the anime, our wonderful fandom and much more to cherish to respect and protect. I don't regret 'wasting' some of my time in idol hell and I never will. Even tho some parts of the fandom are kinda toxic, I enjoy the good parts of it. That's it. I won't talk about my best girls because it would take way too long. Greetings from Germany
