🐣

(pardon any misspelling, grammar errors, skipped words, and agonizing paragraph format, I started writing this at 2am😭)

March 14th 2023 was officially when I joined the scythekick/dropplets membership! (I still remember the battle i had to do figuring out how to do it with a vpn, it was truly trial and error...

And the day before (March 13, 2023) was actually when I made my first thumbnail for him!!!

But i think what officially made me become a scythekick at heart (before I even knew it) was when I first downloaded his model sheet to draw him for the first time on February 17th 2023!

It's really funny actually, I was watching (started out watching) Luca and Vox mainly, but sparsely because of time zones. At the time I wasn't really too dedicated but I still watched all wave debuts after Luxiem (including Xsoleil!) The funny part for it was that I actually just missed his debut for the relay by a few minutes 😭😭😭 (but i did get to catch meloco's, ver's and kotoka's!)

When I first saw his design and heard about his lore I wasn't too interested in the rough guy delinquent rp so i didn't think much about watching him.

It wasn't until i saw a clip of him and hex playing minecraft where they accidentally cut down one of (i think pomu?)'s tree and they started panicking.

And let me tell you I LAUGHED!!

Then I was like 'huh, this guy is pretty funny!' so I went ahead to his channel to see/join a few of his streams.

I can't really tell you what was the first stream I ever officially watched from him (it was probably yomawari, i do remember the making of the safety bush joke but i didn't stick around lol) because honestly, long form content from anime boys was actually still sort of new to me (and before I was watching irl streamers on twitch and short form 1 hour max video's at best). I kind of dipped from anything I lost interest in but I DO remember what the first stream i saw live and actually stuck around for was: Melatonin :D

and if you know the timeline of things, the day i bought the membership was LITERALLY the next day, I was SMITTEN!!! He was so funny/silly, sweet and really interactive! (which really surprised me!)

Now of course i did have some moments where I became afraid to actually become a dedicated fan to him, because prior to all of that I didn't know they could graduate and leave forever! All the youtubers i have watched, and so far the vtubers I had ever heard of at the time, stayed active for like YEARS

and then Yugo graduated

and then Mysta

and then Nina

and then I started getting really scared because I started dreading the day his name would appear and I began to think it would just be easier on me to not become attached at all!

so for a few streams i kept my distance but of course that didn't last very long (lol)

I don't remember who said it but they said 'appreciate them to the fullest while they're still here' and eventually I started coming around because I thought it would actually be 10 TIMES WORSE for me if he were to graduate and I barely interacted with him at all!!

So eventually I decided to fully love this guy as a fan, to cheer him on, to celebrate, to listen, and even to hang out with other scythekicks!

and now it's been (almost) three full years for me! I still can't believe so much time has passed, it truly doesn't feel that way...

It's kinda scary how fast time flies fr.

...

Honestly if there was a chance for me to become a scythekick again in another life, with the same path of suffering and hiccups...

I'd do it all again. Thank you!
