How I started playing Neko Atsume

Dear Aditi,
   Today, the title of the post is actually related to the post itself. Well sorta. As close to related it will get with me. So, as you know I am kind of obsessed with this game Neko Atsume. It let's me feel some sort of accomplishment without really doing anything. And that is what we all want, right? Plus, the game itself it cute af and makes you want to you inhuman noises.
Now, to the point. I started playing this game because of a fanfiction I read. It is a miraculous ladybug fanfiction, about the two main characters getting close to eachother through this game, talking about the virtual cats they have. While reading it, I did have the thought that such cute things never happen in real life. That was until it happened in real life. I was nicely chilling in design class, and this other girl, Alia, started playing it in class and I heard the music. And instantly we started talking about the amount of cats we have and what we named them. She doesn't rename her cats, which sort of seems weird to me because who wouldn't want cats named 'squishy bun bun', '3 dollars', moon moon', and 'Aditi.' Personally I think she is missing out. So, I named a cat after her. Alia. Which is actually a half decent cat name, but really my cat naming standards aren't that high.
Anyway, I got into watching Miraculous Ladybug for 2 reason, one my dear friend asked me to. And second, because my tumblr dash had got clogged with gifs of these two very beautiful characters- and I just had to know what all the hype is about. And it stands up to all the praise it has got.
The point I was trying to make is that, fandoms bring more fandoms. It's only deep rabbit hole, that once you jump into is a whole new world filled with wonder and delight. But while you are there you kind of forget your responsibilities and stay up till 5am and then you aren't able to go to college. I have a problem. But I don't want a solution.
ILY,
Upa.
