Rank 12! First T100 and first PoPiPa T1000+! I made some mistakes along the way, some minor, some really major, in the end, all those boosts have been used successfully!
But the more I played as the event went by, the more I realised I didn’t really want the T100. It was obvious that I was never gonna reach T10 (#11 is more than double my points as well, that’s where the ‘fight for T10’ was happening) and after half of my boosts reserves were gone, I was pretty confident I’d solidified my T100. What I wanted to do was see how far I could go. Those 870 turned 890 boosts have been saved up throughout this entire year, from New Years. All of that preparation... for a weeks worth of time. Sure, seeing those numbers increase past the millions really excited me but at what costs? Near the end of Sep until now, I’ve been so busy that all my time on Garupa were in Lives. Not even any time for reading stories. It was not fun. It sucked. I wanted to stop and give up, but giving up would mean all those months prior would be wasted, and I’d come too far to give up. So I decided to still use up all the boosts, not for tiering or a high score, but to complete this 11 month journey. I started this, I may as well see it through to the end.
It’s time I stopped playing Garupa so methodically. Start playing casually. Start having fun again. Start getting some results again. I have issues with dedication, but it’s the opposite of what you’d expect; I get so engrossed into something that I forget everything else. Now that my giant dedication to this event is gone, I want to pick up everything I dropped prior to this event. 100% FC, PoPiPa 100% AP, writing (oh, the writing I want to do), not to mention the things I love doing normally. I’m starting anew, and I couldn’t feel more glad.
I guess New Years came early for me, huh?
Don’t say I didn’t warn you of a large block of text.

So I’m going to try out this 30-day challenge by Okusawamiikun! Here goes!
DAY 1: Favorite Band
This one’s a no-brainer for me! I just LOVE Afterglow. Why? Well, let me tell you.
For one thing, I love all of the characters. Like, in Poppin’Party, I love Tae and Arisa, but I don’t really care for the other three. All the Afterglow characters are so in-depth, relatable, and cute, especially Tsugu, the hardworking, loyal friend who sometimes goes unappreciated.
And then their theme. I love how they can just be theirselves onstage. For example, PasuPare basically just has the same outfit for everybody with different accent colors. In Afterglow, a part from the jacket and choker, they basically just wear their personal style. Plus, they all wear their jacket differently.
Their music is also amazing, and I think more deep than the other bands’. Apart from PoPiPa, I think their songs are also the catchiest. (Scarlet Sky was the first Bandori song to ever get stuck in my head!)
Well, thanks for coming to my Afterglow Ted talk! Bye! :P
EDIT: I realized my Afterglow picture didn’t show up and you have to click on a link to do it soooooo I picked a new picture (I know the jackets don’t show in this one and that’s what I was talking about, but whatever,)
