>>99322720I'm not sure if by "stages" you mean like fandom route or emotional process so I'll try to touch on both.
I had just gotten out of a divorce at the time and spending a lot of time on /co/ which at the time had semi-regular Projekt Melody threads. That led me to /vt/, but then decided I wanted a less horny vibe so tried to get into Hololive but didn't really click with any of the Myth girls, but I found NijiEN and Pomu and she made me laugh for the first time in about six months. Found Lottie when Pomu announced her graduation, clicked with her because she was also a 'dachi and I love Goji. Stayed because Lottie/Lazuli heals my wounded ojisan soul with whimsy, and watch Mint too.
