It's way more entertaining

It’s a set in my heart

is sayo okay ?

yeah anyways i just finished reading the event story and bruh im dying i love it its just so fricking good especially the ending with sayo explaining how just cause their twins doesn’t mean they needa be the same and yeah you know

definitely my top favorite event stories ! (๑･̑◡･̑๑)

I got into the Top 1000! This is the highest I've ever ranked in an event, so I'm pretty proud ^^

I’d love to go for Top 10, but I am going to stop tiering as I pretty much secured a Top 100 finish when the event is over.

College final exams are in 3 weeks so I need to prepare; and CharaExpo ‘19 is right before finals week so I have to study a lot and get ready before I leave for Anaheim. I tiered so high because I want to secure a Top 100 finish and not have to worry on losing it.

I think just over 3 million points should do it.

Studying is more important than tiering.

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.

Here we are again...
