OMG PLEASE TELL THE CLANNAD STORY LMAOOO
omfg lmao ok fine. its long and dumb and legit facepalm stupid but I have time to kill, so I hope you do too. Get ready, grab yo booze and gather around kiddos its story time.
ok first context of this story is I dated this guy for 2 years while I was 19 in uni. lets call him..... Sony Erikson. Erikson for short ok? Ok.
One important thing you need to know abt Sony Erikson is that he was one of those nerds that took.. fiction way too literally.. basically claiming this one work of fiction would be what he aspires his life to be. Like Ted in HIMYM being a die hard Star Wars fanboy and naming his kids Luke and Leia... .. . actually exactly like Ted bc dis guy told me the exact same thing.. huh. nothing wrong w sw or himym ted btw js
So Erikson, was a family man. He wanted 2 kids - a girl and boy - and a whole nuclear family with a white hot soccer mom SUV in the suburbs to go with it. Keep in mind we were both 19 and he was already talking abt all of this shit while I had VEHEMETLY expressed I never ever ever never want kids. no. nada. Im fuck shit scared of childbirth this fear aint going away. I'll be the one whiskey aunt til the day I die, swear on it. red flag #1 ok.
Erikson, was also an anime fan. And you guessed it, one of his favourite animes of. all. t i m e. is Clannad. And yknow what Clannad is about? FAMILY. So being the typical couple we are - making our s/o watch things we ourselves like but they might not enjoy - obviously he makes me watch it in the hopes of trying to convince me I would change my mind about future children when I am still a I-have-no-idea-what-Im-doing-in-life 19 year old. Clearly a brilliant plan for someone Im not even sure I want to spend the rest of my life with.
.... I kid you not when I say, he said to me: "Clannad is what I aspire my future family to be like". Word. For. Word. red flag numero deux.
Ok fine. We watch it. Get thru s1 and its not terrible... tolerable nbd. I actually found it quite cute.... But yknow what else happens in Clannad? THE TERMINAL ILLNESS CARD. ahdjkfkdls B R U H I've seen enough kdramas back in the day to know how dumb this trope is,,, and I h a t e it. Despise it with a burning passion. Terminal illness is not your accessory for drama, producers. Get yo shit together and do some real research.
But dis guy. Dis Erikson guy. Looooveeesss it. He's sappy and thinks its the greatest expression of love and family and compassion and committment there is.
... barf.
Tbqh I would've been less mad at the TIC and sappiness if weren't for the fact that the image of Nagisa - the main chick - sweet sweet softspoken timid housewife Nagisa - was his "ideal" image for a wife and therefore "what he wanted [me] to be".

B I E T C H. If there is one thing I am known for it is being a stubborn bitch. Especially when someone tries to change who I am - I just do the exact opposite. So guess what bud, I got more hardheaded than a Steelix with Iron Head. I dont take shit from anyone. I aint your sweet housewife.
But I digress.
You keeping up with number of red flags so far? Bc we're at three.
So. We get thru like the 10th episode of s2 or smth and I've had enough. I cant take it anymore. And then he gets all upset at me for not... enjoying it....??? Even tho I made it clear I wasnt expecting to enjoy it considering the themes and what it was suppose to mean???!?!?!?... so ye that snowballs into a hissy fit and I just leave. Not dealing w this bs.
We dont talk or message for a week.
L m a ooooooooo
Ok so like a week goes by and he msgs me like "so are we gonna talk abt this or wat?" And then ok ya sure we sit down and talk abt what happened like what couples should do.
But the conversation doesnt resolve anything and digs up even more issues we'd already been past. Or so we thought. I point out the things I dislike abt him and he calls out that Im too stubborn, that Im not feminine?? enough and that it demasculinates him - LMAO WOW IM SORRY I HAVE TO LAUGH HERE HAHAHHAA - and that Im an alpha bitch. Exact words.
Y u p.
Woweee.
Ya bye. I call it. I leave.
The end.
... not really. There's a sequel to it where he tries to "get me back" for 3 months following but thats for another time. But ya thats how I broke up w an ex over Clannad. HAHHAHAHAHA god what was I thinking,,,,
