251 messages. There was going to be silly bit about how common 250 is, but due to my 250th message being... this, the whole thing was ruined. Hooray...
At least there's 2500, right?
Anyways, since I've hit my numbersake, I'll go tell you my normie "origin story", I guess.

It was April... It was hot outside, nothing to do, and I was doomscrolling on Twitter for the 100th time that month. It was just a normal day until I saw a tweet about how azumanga fans not watching the anime. You see, I've had my eye on the anime due to clips that I've seen, which resulted in me growing a liking to the series, akin to those very same fans that tweet was about. Due to this, when I saw the tweet I thought to myself, "fuck it I rather watch the anime than be associated with those people" or something like that. After a while, I've finished the series, and I even got a bit emotional at the end. It was a nice series, but I've now opened the flood gates and started my quick path into becoming the dweller you all don't know nor care to!

Summer came after a few months, and it was already ruined when some relative I knew died. Basically, it resulted in me having free and practically unmonitored access to... Netflix. (My family is broke, ok) This resulted in me being able to watch a few animes, like the Ranma 1/2 remake, which was actually my first romance manga (or the first one that left a decent impact on me) Since the second season haven't came out at the time, I yearned for the next season because the cliffhanger pissed me off. Luckily I found out the anime was actually a remake and the manga finished like... 40 something years ago. Luckily, I was able to find the original anime on YouTube, where I finished the series there. I like the remake (as it stands now) more though.

Funny thing, the original anime is still the longest series I've completed/catched up on. It's exhausting, which is probably why I like series with 1-2 seasons more. Also watch Scissor Seven

While that was happening, I found a little anime called CITY THE ANIMATION, while it is one of my favorite animes (and manga), it also had a little bit of a side effect. You see, after watching a silly web-show on Twitter, I unknowingly started a chain reaction that ended in me... reading Yuri. I'm not joking, this twitter web-show actually kick-started that whole Yuri mess I was in. By the time I saw CITY THE ANIMATION, I saw already yuri-minded... jokingly of course. Yuri, as a genre seemed like a joke used to mess with my friends about shipping them or whatever. This was already fueled by my het romance addiction as well, which I joking said "I watch them to cope" once. Either way, that silly joke would've stayed a joke, if it wasn't for one major breakthrough in my normie development...

...Which you'll hear more of in the next milestone! :wooow: It's getting late, and I rather wake up feeling less like I want to hang myself, so I'll just leave it like that. It's not like any of y'all care enough for a continuation anyway, right? :huh:

Either way, here's to plently of more pointless but fun times here.
Goodnight, Dex-chan lovers! :wooow:

Bro… a 250 message origin story? That’s not “ruined,” that’s peak performance. Azumanga out here like “let’s casually warp someone’s entire anime timeline.” 😭

Also, the Ranma time travel YouTube hunt? Absolute chaos. Imagine digging through 40-year-old anime like it’s archaeological treasure. (Indiana Jones has nothing on you).

And CITY being the accidental Yuri gateway… classic. “Just a joke” always ends in full-blown obsession. It’s the law of anime/manga physics.

But honestly, this was a fun read. Don’t ghost before the next milestone, or I’m reporting you to the Dex-chan lovers’ council.

Sleep well, legend. Here’s to more pointless anime spirals, Yuri mishaps, and ruining perfectly normal days forever. :thumbsup:

I'm surprised there's someone who actually read that whole thing. Because of that, I'm gonna make a silly "Omake" to this story.

The silly web-show I talked about was... Horse Race Tests. How does this connect to the start of the "Yuri Path"? Inside jokes. You see, if you've seen the twitter web-show, there was a certain... incident relating to two horses: Jovial Merryment (the GOAT), and Lighting Strikes Thrice (she was called yellow back then). If you know you know.

This probably wasn't the introduction to yuri content, but it was definitely a notable one. Plus, I'm quite a weird person. I've had OwO on my phone case once. No idea why I've said that, but it's now something that you may think about if you see me on the forums. :3

Also, my actual first anime wasn't Azumanga Daioh. It was something, much... much more normie.
It's actually English dubbed Naurto... on Netflix! We've come full circle! I believe I only finished season 1, so I see Azumanga Daioh as my first completed anime, since it... was. Either way, Azumanga Daioh was still THE anime that changed me the most, since it kick-started this whole mess. It's still strange to think about how I would've been a powerscaling dumbass if it wasn't for me getting bored of it. Thank God for Midurto being itself, I suppose (I suppose, yeah!)

Also, that was a 251 message origin story, not a 250 message origin story. Get it right...

You really said “bonus lore unlocked” and dropped Horse Race Tests on us 😭
That’s some deep Twitter damage Jovial Merryment vs Lighting Strikes Thrice is one of those things where you either instantly get it or you’re forever confused.

Also the OwO phone case confession is wild?? That’s permanent character trivia now, sorry. I will think about it if I see you around the forums.

Dubbed Naruto S1 on Netflix being the true first anime is the most full-circle normie origin imaginable, but yeah Azumanga as the first completed one absolutely counts. It didn’t just change you, it rerouted the entire timeline away from powerscaling hell. Midurto died so you could live.

And yes, yes, 251-252 messages. The extra one is important. That’s the lore epilogue. Put some respect on it.
