MY MOM WONT STOP TELLING ME TO STOP IT WITH THE 'JAPANESE TRASH'.
first of all:
ITS ANIME.
Second of all: IT AINT TRASH.
my mom is always on my case about how anime is a waste of time and that it isn't Christian, and it's ruining my morale, and how I'm beginning to act like one of those 'stupid cartoon characters' (again, ITS ANIME. ITS NOT A CARTOON!)
For the past year or so, I've been full out otaku. It's the main thing I talk about, main thing I even do-
yet she doesn't accept who I am.
It would be nice if I had SOMEONE in the house to stand up for me, but my dad always comes home really late in the evenings from work, and although he tolerates it, he's not really for it either.
Then there's my sister;
SHE'S JUST A LITTLE SH*T!!!
She`s five years older- and SHE TAKES MY MOM`S SIDE. Àt least she doesn`t call it trash- she just doesn`t even say anime.
She says i`ll be made fun of at school, when in fact I've made so many other otaku friends at school because I've been open with the fact that I like anime. you guys have also been some of the best friends I've ever had :3
So my mom starts yelling at me about anime, and my sister backs her up saying that all she hears me talking about with my friends is anime anime anime and that I don`t do anything else, that I have no life.
EH HEHM. NO. I DO A LOT OF OTHER THINGS BESIDES ANIME. I HAVE A LIFE. Then I defended anime saying that I've met so many friends because of it, and I don`t spend ALL my time on it. I said that`s it`s a nice little community of ppl who like it.
Her response, she answered in DISGUST, `so like a COLT or something?`
then comes the real dilemma: I want to audition for Cardfight!! Vanguard Abridged by Cardfightr Huntr to play the character Rekka.
If I get the role, I have to be able to redo lines at a moments notice, and stay committed to it all the way through.
My mom doesn`t know that I've been making an audition. If she did, she`d take away my mic. and my phone and keep all access to anime or internet away from me.
The deadline to send in the audition is Friday the 13th- THIS Friday. So I have to send it in today or tomorrow. If I get the role, i`ll have to tell my mom I got it, but then she might stop me from doing my lines and sending them in, saying,
``not only are you so obsessed with anime that your making and doing shit like THIS, but you`re sending your voice via email to some STRANGER!?!?!?! I WONT ALLOW THIS!```
What. the fuck. do I do?!
I`m passionate about doing this, and I know that sending it in and not getting the part would hurt me a lot more than not sending it in and never knowing if I even had a chance!!!
My mom is the only person standing in the way of my dreams. So what. do. I do!?
My friends have all been saying, GO FOR IT! or YOU CAN DO IT, who cares what your mom says!
But no matter how many times I say it they just cant seem to get that my mom HATES anime with a PASSION.
I wish I could just leave this house. When I get out of high school I'm going to a college as far away from home as possible, dying my hair white, and making abridged series, and going to conventions... AND ILL BE ALLOWED TO BE ME!!!!
But for now I'm stuck her and a ping pong battle is going on in my head;
SHOULD I AUDITION?
...
OR NOT?
