>>3312139Bear with me, I'm not great at making long posts particularly coherent.
I decided to watch her show on a whim after seeing a gembutt thread on the /a/ catalog and liking the look of the colorful characters and the idea of gem people (Steven Universe shit asides) since I had always been somewhat interested in gemstones and the like. At the time I thought it was just a Moe SoL type series, which isn't the kind I usually watch. I also watched it almost immediately after despite having quite a big backlog at the time, now that I think about it there were a lot of random whims that lead me to watching the show when I normally woudn't have, perhaps it was fate. Even from the very first scene I found Phos to be adorable, far more so than any other character before and one of the first times I really felt emotion for one. From that point on I aboslutely fell in love with the show, everything about it from the characters to the setting to the humor to the artstyle and music and of course Phos herself, especially once the suffering begun to kick in. I had to prevent myself from bingewatching the whole thing in one night and pace myself, though even then I had finished it by the next day. From there I went on to read the manga as well and enjoyed it too. I'm not really sure how long it took before I really started recognising her as my waifu but I don't think it was all too long since I started posting regularly in Houseki no Kuni threads not long after that. I just loved everything about her, from the exotic aspect of her physiology to her androgynous figure to her cheeky genki personality that I only learned to really miss once it was in part gone, and all the suffering she went through just made me want to care for her all the more. Theres probably more to it than this but as I mentioned I'm really not great at writing long coherent stories.
This was far more long-winded than I expected so a third post for the other questions soon.
