Hello, you don’t have to answer, but how’s your father doing after the strokes he had? Did you and your family manage to get him therapy? How are you doing? It’s hard to be young and take on such a large responsibility— no one thinks to check in on us. —peace 💕

This is one of the kindest and most thoughtful messages I think I’ve ever received. I’d like to take this chance to thank you with all my heart for how sweet this is, it made my day.

My father is still struggling quite a bit, he was very willful and independent before everything and now suddenly he can’t do half of what he use to. It’s taking a toll on him in that respect more than anything I believe. He no longer has vision in his right eye, and his right side is still very numb and weak. So he can no longer drive or work, and since he has no health insurance we weren’t able to get him more than a couple trial classes of therapy. As for myself, I’m surprisingly okay, it’s always hard to watch someone go through something like this and tell you they’re scared and then be unable to do anything to help them. But it’s a familiar encounter for me, because back when my mom got sick I was the one taking care of her and taking her to her appointments. It was a difficult experience but I grew so much from it. It gave me patience and a kindness that I never had before. 

Thank you so much again for checking on me, you have such a kind heart and I wish you the best my friend. 💖

I've always loved your tumblr but I guess I never really bothered to dive too deep into it. Do you think anime has evolved in a way that has improved society's outlook upon it or is it still sort of a weird and nerdy thing to like anime? I have to ask because when I was in high school there were different groups and one that stood out to me was the anime club and those kids were always not as popular. Is it because anime/fantasy/games are safe haven for us? ^^

Thanks for the kind words!

That's a really good question.  I did a poll a while ago, and otaku still seems to be considered a really odd group in adolescence. 

But to me, things are getting much more dynamic and complicated these ways when it comes to acceptance of otaku culture.  Nerd culture is becoming so big and accepted that it helps anime, I think - so so so many people watch at least a little bit of anime these days.  I mean for college folks, you're probably in the minority if you haven't seen at least a bit of it.

On the other hand, otaku are still the odd men out even in nerd culture.  We're not weirder than other geeks (although a subset of the culture represents us in a negative way), but our topic is less known and less mainstream, so we remain kind of segregated.

Still, things are generally trending up - and that's a real good thing.

chewypumpkin answered your question:Hi guys! I think it’s a time for new theme so I...

I really like this theme…but wouldn’t Hannibal like something darker? Idk his office is dark.

Well, yeah, his office his dark, but we're leaving his office for season 3 and you know how I imagine the next season :), so I chose the light colors. However I'm glad you like it.
