I've recently gotten into Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. It very much does feel like a shounen type story from the outside, but I did find myself relating to the main character a lot. It distinguishes itself from other stories in that it's a meta of all other stories. In a way, I could say was the main character at one point, depending on a single webnovel to read and look forward to for updates. I bring this up because it's very reminiscent of how I handled Durarara when I was barely a teen. Now I remember close to nothing about the franchise itself, but I will always hold the memory of this site with me. It would be a disservice to say my hours upon hours of blogging and chatting on here meant barely anything. It kept me alive when I was younger, it seems like. I've never been good at keeping secrets, but this site was the one thing I really kept close to my heart, excited each day to open it and talk to strangers once more without the pressure of all that I was in real life. It wasn't like I was an outcast or anything. I was just...me. I needed breaks from being me. Dollars was something else. It was a gathering of people who were like me, who needed breaks from our respective me's. That was comforting. That was my Ways of Survival. My time on here from the past had been a major contribution to the person that I am today. I am happy that I watched Durarara. I am happy that I stumbled upon Dollars. Sometimes, really, all it takes to live is a single piece of art to live by. Durarara was that for me. If you're reading this, thank you. I hope you understand me and feel a similar way.

So beautifully said, wonderful to hear that it has so positive and real influence on your life :) Many people crave little positive kind of escape, me included. You described it so perfectly! And I can relate too. At least in my small moment way of today. I have not trained for a while cause I was a bit sick, now I'm good and at last I went to the gym again. I was afraid of being weak after this pause. But I found myself feeling so motivated to train and stronger than expected. All thanks to me imagining being part of something bigger, being part of Dollars, training to be stronger - not just for me, but for others too. It felt awesome! Living in Durarara vibes today.
I know it's small contribution to your big experience you just shared, but hope it connects.
