#in a little over a week i have almost all of the basic hiragana symbols down

[bi-rising]

listen, i’ve never liked the term “weeb” before, bc lord knows that i was called a lot of not-technically-insults-so-nothing-was-done-about-them kind of things, but the more my brother keeps telling me my genuine interest in Japanese culture and actively learning Japanese is just me being a “weeb” while i have to listen to him talk about final fantasy 14 that he plays for literally 12-14 hours a day (no, i promise, i am not exaggerating) and if i don’t pay enough attention to his spiels about it then he gets genuinely pissed off at me, the more i feel genuinely bad when i get called a weeb and the harder it is for me to be excited at all about what i’m learning and accomplishing

#like........ #in a little over a week i have almost all of the basic hiragana symbols down #(so about 40 symbols) #and if i say anything about it i just get called a weeb #this is why i don't share my interests with my family #and why it's even difficult for me to share stuff with my online friends
