30+ hours and my brain is now mush

Once upon a time, I didn't ship anything in LoveLive!. Then I finished S1 and wondered why the hell the entire fandom shipped NicoMaki. Then I finished S2 and wondered why the hell *I* shipped NicoMaki. So I drew this in an attempt to figure it out myself. Inspired by that Cool Nico in SIF who goes "Coool" whenever she pops up. Cutest thing ever.

I petered out at the end because 20 days later, I had a better grasp of their characters (and why I shipped them) and realized that what I was drawing was nowhere near that. ...Also, I've sat on my ass for 30+ hours this week trying to line this and month-ago Connie didn't think to finish that last sketch so present-day Connie just said 'Fuck it' and gave up.

tl;dr: Super OOC but I spent too long on this to not upload it. Why the fuck I went on for so many fucking pages, I don't even know.

If you check my twitter over the past few days, you can witness my descent into madness.

Okay, my eyes hurt, my ass is killing me, I'm starving, and I'm missing my tv show. Goodbye forever.
