=== Origins (Jan-Feb 2017)===
On January 15, 2017 a 4chan user began a thread anguishing about his "daydream world telling him to die before August 28"<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34157760/</ref>. Other anonymous posters asked him questions about his situation, which he answered them, remarking that "they're comfy and it feels good to have others talk about your daydreams".
On January 15, 2017 a 4chan user began a thread on its /r9k/ board anguishing about his "daydream world telling him to die before August 28"<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34157760/</ref>. Other anonymous posters asked him questions about his situation, which he answered them, remarking that "they're comfy and it feels good to have others talk about your daydreams".
He made two other threads on January 20 and 26 respectively. In both threads, he was mocked by doubters<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34427161/#q34428439</ref> and asked questions by believers<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34305385/#q34306529</ref> - themes that would repeat throughout the history of the Project. It was in the latter thread that he first began to call himself Tsuki<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34427161/#q34435689</ref>.

The phenomenon continued through February. The anons of /r9k/ derided it<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34681102/#q34687443</ref>, debated it<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34681102/#q34700023</ref>, and clung to it as the only thing that made life worth living<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34681102/#q34699578</ref>. But, it remained a hit-and-miss thing: two threads failed to receive any replies<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34756738/</ref>, one of which was made by Tsuki himself<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34803507/</ref>. By the second week of the month, Tsuki had begun to make a website<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34814602/</ref>. The stories continued to pour in: of ordinary people, struggling with mental health and poor surroundings, finally finding acceptance<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34814602/#q34824968</ref>.

As progress on the site proceeded apace, an anonymous poster claimed that there would be "closed systems", but was ignored<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34864787/#q34869980</ref>. Two days later, Tsuki made multiple threads seeking advice on /r9k/ about what "communication technology" he should add to his website: forum, imageboard, or IRC<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34915245/</ref>. Fatefully, Tsuki considered and rejected IRC<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34915245/#q34918106</ref>, but did decide to have an imageboard<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34942168/</ref>.
===Completion of the website (Fed-Mar 2017)===
The website opened partially on February 19, 2017<ref>https://desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/34978041/</ref>.
The TSUKI Project alleged that by joining the website, the users called migrants, would transfer from Life (our present system) to LFE, the next system once they died, but warned users to not commit suicide.
