FSS' TPN Journey Timeline:

March 26, 2021: On a whim put TPN S1 episode 1 on at 1am, become immediately engrossed by the end of the first episode but cut it off after episode 6 because it's now 4am and I need to go to bed. Pick it back up again 12 hours later because I have to know what happens next.

March 27-30, 2021: Read starting from chapter 38 until the end of the series after asking some friends what they thought of S2 that had literally just wrapped up two days ago and gathering the general consensus that S2 was Not Good while avoiding spoilers other than the S2 promotional poster art. I watched S2 episode 1 and then read the corresponding chapters, watched S2 episode 2 and read the corresponding chapters, watched S2 episode 3 and read the corresponding chapters and realized this was where the canon divergence came in, so from that point I stuck to reading just the manga before going back to the anime.

March 31, 2021: I enjoy the series enough I'm willing to drop 130USD on a copy of the S1 blu-ray.

April 2021: I find @1000sunnygo' blog and discover she's translating all of the behind the scenes information presented in the mystic code book. There's two chapters out at this point so I regularly keep up with new posts throughout the year. I am a kid in a candy store with all the informative, new-to-me content being shared not for monetary gain but just a genuine appreciation for the series.

December 29, 2021: The technical official start date of this blog when I debated whether to commit to having a side blog or to continue brainrotting on main.

February 14, 2022: After nearly a year of having this series occupying my idle attention, I feel like it's worth having a side blog and share my first shitpost.

Happy anniversary to my binging this series and it claiming my heart 🥳💜🧡💙🎉

Somehow I managed to avoid all of the spoilers other than “the orphanage is a farm” for years and only got into it the day before the S2 finale aired. I didn’t think I’d become so smitten, randomly deciding to watch an episode of S1 because it was recommended by Netflix in the wee hours of the morning, and yet here I am a year later, still incredibly endeared to it.
