i'm sorry to make this kind of post bc this discourse comes up all the time but i'm talking to 10 year chihayaP friend rn about imas/the 15th anni, i showed them pictures of the offkai i planned for kotoha's bday a few years ago and they said "you're a model producer"[1/?]
it made me emo hearing that from them and i realized that i also really respect them for sticking with and loving chihaya from childhood to adulthood even though they've expressed regret over not being able to play mltd bc they're not good at mobile games... [2/?]
they're also texting me from work saying they wish they could be watching the animas stream instead... what i'm saying is that (cliche ahead) it's easy to feel pressured by twitter culture into thinking that you're a better or more dedicated producer only if you [3/?]
rank in events/collect merch/etc, but that's just a later born fallacy and from the start producing was about loving your idol and wanting to be by their side. [4/end]
