...sorry, every1 probly sick of this, but I still cannot wrap my brain around this very simple fact - when am remembered**
Just.... be me. Pop onto a Twitch to watch some ancient nerdy VHS stream (it was being digitized, and the person threw the gates wide open)
Now important note here: dunno about you kids and your carefully created "brand" on socials (what with adding "official" or "the" etc).... but back in da day of AOL/AIM you picked a weeb-name and that is forever ya damn name on everything since!
so anyway! I pop in, and my screen-name on there is some benign nonsense Them: hey there , welcome Me: <<< ---- anna Them: Annanekochan?! oh shiz me: the one and only!
That very specific combination of letters ain't been used since recorded history doesn't go back that far at least 2002 and holy fuck dude, you remembered me?!?!?! From that freakin long ago!??!!? was ready to straight up start bawling at my screen Is this how the Soap Opera grandmas feel when they are suddenly called by ages-long-abandoned nickname?
Like sure, the East Coast cosplay scene was way smaller then, but even by those numbers the fact am remembered is absolutely making me full of feels over here
**not like, "oh saw you last year" but seriously, we talkin decade+ timelines here. People met me ahlf a lifetime ago and somehow still recall? Positive nerd stories? BLESS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
anyway, perhaps some more history-inclined have heard legends of Man-Faye, or Sailor Bubba .... but are you deep-cut lore enuff to have heard of SAILOR BACON! (or a Dan Hibiki cosplayer snortin pixie-sticks. It was a dumb goof that one time)
