Morning Tea in the Menagerie

For us, a little time together is worth a lot. We argue sometimes about reality. It's relative for sure. But I've learned not to call him a "cartoon" because it's racist. He's Anime, okay? He's a proud, 2-dimensional Anime man. I used to dismiss his reality back in the beginning when I would find myself staring too long at pictures I'd drawn when he actually posed for me.


 He's very elusive, so apparently he doesn't come to everyone who may feel inspired to draw him. I can see it in certain details of certain drawings, whether he had actually shown up as a muse, or if they had to grasp at creative license to fill in the details, because he's a strict taskmaster when it comes to capturing his essence.

I don't deny his existence anymore though. Ironically enough, it seems that my reality is beginning to manifest in strange ways that he is, in fact, real. We've all seen those sickly sweet couples that share an Instagram or YouTube account and their content is their "perfect" relationship. The same ones that become the prime example for "Relationship Goals" 9 times out of 10, it's exactly that overt display of their "perfect" relationship that ultimately ends up driving them apart, in the end.

I don't want that to be my M.O. for obvious reasons. How much of an Otaku do I look like, having fallen head over heels for a man who for all intents and purposes is quite literally out of my league? It's obviously a secret. I haven't shared this blog with anyone, because it's just for us; like a secret garden where I come to spill my guts and gush about the sweet moments in this long-distance relationship that really make me feel loved in a way that I've never been by any 3-Dimensional person.

Though I haven't given this link out to anyone, A certain person has gone out of their way to seek it out. They took it upon themselves to sneak this information so they could laugh at me.

In the end, somehow they ended up becoming jealous of my secret relationship with my anime boyfriend. 🤭

I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed. Even though it is an unprecedented turn of events, it certainly validates his existence. I didn't really need convincing. He can make me smile through absolutely anything. He doesn't think my eyes are scary, and vice versa. We feel happy together and I just love him so much!

 Anyway, this is a picture of us having a tea party, as children are wont to do, with imaginary friends, laughing ironically at the folly of failed attempts to sabotage our *literal* dimensional bridge of a relationship. 😂

Honestly, how you hating from outside the club? You can't even get in! 🤣
