/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I used to be a weeb back in middle school, but definitely not as bad as others. I think my worst habits were doing hinata's finger twiddling, being super shy like her, and whenever I was really surprised I would pose in shock (think of ranma and how their hands would go up in a metal "\m/" pose, idk what its called). I also drew retarded anime shit with zero understanding of anatomy, which is still screwing me over years later as an animation major.

I guess I call myself more of an anime fan now because I do watch a lot more than I used to, along with a bigger variety of series. I don't really have a specific waifu or husbando but my dressing style and living screams the wrong impression I want on people haha.

>70% of wardrobe is anime shirts, rest is lolita and some fairy kei inspired things
>pic related is my favorite jacket in the whole world, not because it's azusa but I just really like cool colors and allover print
>have been collecting figures for about 2 years, bf and I have about 600 pieces
>unhealthily like goofy characters and have seriously considered commissioning an artist for a space dandy, Jojo, or polnareff daiki
>boyfriend likes to collect Japanese (specifically bemani) arcade games and anything related to em

I feel like the anime weeb phase was something that didn't affect me a bunch and thankfully didnt made me too socially awkward. but the exposure to anime has definitely affected my hobbies and my college life. Sometimes I think my mom hates that I do the things I do because it betrays my culture as well.
