That horrible moment…
when you realise your friend is a weeaboo.
I have, well had, this friend who we shall call D. I met D back in Grade 10. She was in my Drama class and we got paired up for a short performance. Soon we realised our sense of humor was the same so I invited her to sit with my group at lunchtimes.
In this group we had a few anime fans, Herry Potter fans, some randoms, goths, emos, pretty much the rejects that the ‘popular’ kids didn’t want in their groups.
Anyway… I wrote really bad stories back then. Some fanfiction but I was never to serious about it. D noticed I was writing and stole the book out of my hands. She proceeded to read my horrible Naruto fanfiction and squeal extremely loudly anytime I wrote the name Itachi.
The next day she brought her laptop to school and showed me a 50 page fanfiction about her being Itachi’s lover. And she was only half way through writing it.
A few months later I went to Animania, a small convention held here in Brisbane. Since it was almost D’s birthday I got her a Itachi keychain because I knew she loved him.
Bad idea. She clung to and hung off of me for the next 3 - 4 months. She wouldn’t shut up about how much she loved Itachi.
Now, I just graduated last year in December, she is a quarter of the way through writing an original story. She based all the female characters off the group from school. I was made into an ‘Elemental’ or something. I don’t even know. She sent me the story a few days ago and asked for my feedback.
I just. I didn’t know what to say. Everyone’s name was followed by -san, -sensei, -chan, -kun, ect. She added random Japanese into EVERY sentence.
Now I’m all for using broken Japanese. If you are trying to or learning it!! It’s the best way to learn. But what she did, I just wanted to smash something. It drove me nuts.
Some of the male character seemed to be based off Naruto, Yu Gi Oh or Avatar characters. Like they were the character but with a slight change in hair colour or eye colour. And she hooked up with every single one of them.
So just a warning to people out there. Be careful who you become friends with. If they start showing the signs of being a weeaboo. Run.
