I’m not sure this counts as a confession at all, but I’d like to say that this blog has made me so grateful for the way my family handled my weeaboo-years in high school.
I used to be the kid who threw random Japanese into every sentence, who wore a Naruto headband to school every day, who religiously watched every anime that caught my attention (subbed only, thank you very much)… Well, you get the idea.
My parents never complained. They bought me anime-related things for my birthday, mom never gave more than a shrug when I cosplayed as random male characters, and the one time she picked up one of my yaoi books, and read the whole thing, her only complaint was that the characters said “fuck”.
So anyway, thanks for letting me see how much I took my parents for granted. I really appreciate them so much more.
Mod M: Reading these stories has made me appreciate my parents a lot more, as well! To this day, my mother is willing to help me with my cosplays if I need a hand :)
