Abstract: In this paper I gaslight myself to believe that my senpai loving another classmate is a good thing. Specific: Love Triangles are so 1990s. TV, trashy romance novels and other media need to get with the times and give us more complex romantic relationships. This paper presents novel romance stories for novel romance stories and visualizations of such relationships until I don’t know how to anymore. We propose that the only good love stories are incomprehensible love stories.

The prevalence of online connection and communication opens possibilities for various groups to emerge unsupervised by the wider society, including potentially dangerous cults. This paper specifically examines whether the online group "Starknights," a fan community of virtual YouTuber Jelly Hoshiumi, meets the criteria of a cult.
