Yuki The Snowman

So the other day I created a thread on a Facebook group entitled “Who Is Your Favorite Gym Leader from Pokemon.”  I chosen Sabrina (Natsume for you Nippon-go speaking hardcore/weeaboo fans) from the first generation series (Red/Blue/Yellow)

Sabrina is pretty damn interesting. I love that she has some cool ass psychic powers; a trait that set her apart from the rest of the gym leaders.  She was also pretty out there with her emotionless state, up until a suicide bombin’ Haunter made her laugh her ass off.

I imagine she loves fucked up black humor comedy.  She seems like the type.

As I’m hunting down  fan art of the psychic Pokemon leader (and a few NSFW fan art) , in addition of fanart of the Hex Maniac trainer class (who happens to be my favorite trainer class in the series), it dawned on me: I like weird characters.  Not only that, a lot of my fictional crushes/waifus over the years are of the weird and creepy archetype.

Let’s break it down:

You guys know I’m a huge Hotaru/Sailor Saturn fanboy.  She was one of my very first fictional crushes as a kid (or waifu.  Whatever sad weird otaku shit we be callin’ this shit now).  I thought her weirdness and creepiness was amazing, something that made her different from the rest of the cast.

When the first Teen Titan cartoon dropped years ago, my two favorite female characters were Raven and Jinx.  I wasn’t a huge fan of neither Starfire or Terra.  Raven and Jinx were superior compare to the two mentioned.  Again, these two  were weird, creepy ass girls who I was attractive to because of their character design.

When I was getting into the GBA Fire Emblem games, I invested a lot of time, items and in-game money (as well as stats changing cheat codes lol) into the dark mage Sophia to make her my most powerful magic user.       Fuck whatever the elitist FE fanboys said about her being garbage!  I’m was going to make Sophia the best on my file! Plus she was shy, quiet, and had purple aesthetes, so added bonuses! I am very biased.

Further down in my weebish otaku adult life, I would fall in love and fanboy over characters such as Stocking from Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt, Tharja from Fire Emblem Awakening, and Tae from Persona 5.  The characters I named have this errie, dark gothic  and alternate aesthesis to their design nature.

Hell, now that I think about it, I’m attractive to weird women.  It is natural given I’m a part of the nerd subculture and nerds in general are weird.  Fuck, I weird myself.  I write blogs about anime culture.  I’m writing about crushing on fictional cartoon and video games characters who will never exist.  That’s goddamn weird as hell.

But really, I honest to god think me liking weird, alternate women may parallel to my fictional crushes over the year.  I am also charmed by nerdy women as well but that goes hand-and-glove with weird woman.  If I were to go into details why however,  I would be just repeating myself but with nerdy girls replacing weird ones.  Same shit.  Different toilet.

Weird people are awesome.   And attractive.
