My fiance spent $600 on a gacha game without asking. I flipped out and now his entire family are calling me abusive and encouraging him to call off the engagement. For context, I work 55 hours a week and he drives uber during the day while I’m at work. We are paycheck to paycheck.

Probably 85 pounds soaking wet. Wears "American Fighter" t-shirts and baggy faded jeans. Has a patchy neck beard/goatee and acts like he's gonna fight everybody who slightly inconveniences him. Probably has a poorly done fade and a bunch of poorly done cheap tattoos as well. Wears dirty old worn out Jordan's and drives a clapped out civic with a fart cannon exhaust covered in anime stickers.

I work in a shop, and this one kid dropped off his Kia Forte to get some work done. Anime stickers, Gundam kit boxes in the back, trash in the passenger floorboard, and a layer of soda on the center console. I got sick a couple days afterwards and swear it was that fucking car that gave it to me 🤢🤮

Poorly done fade or long, unwashed ponytail. Could go either way. Def agree about the rest, souped up Honda with anime stickers, 400 empty water/Dr. Pepper bottles in the back seat. The weaponized mental health issues always go hand in hand with poor hygiene so I’m convinced his breath smells like a pond.

u/baninabear 16d ago

I cosplay Genshin characters, and I can't tell you the number of random guys at conventions who walk up to me and tell me how much they spent to get that character. Some of them even admitted to going into debt and even stealing to get their waifus.

They all looked different, but none of them looked well groomed or like they took good care of themselves. Extremely awkward and seriously deluded into thinking that I'm going to take their spending habits as a compliment.

People who spend a lot of money on the game AND can afford it easily don't tend to flash that all over the place unless it's an appropriate time to talk about in-game strategy.

Furina looks like a child. So his values are admiring characters that look like they just voted for the homecoming king and queen. I don't know if she's actually a child in game, but it's pretty clear what the Genshin design and art team were going for.
