So like, my roommate keeps saying I smell like an otaku because I'm always watching anime or just listening to anime soundtracks with my earbuds in. I thought they were just messing with me and making fun of otakus in general, so I didn't even bother responding. But then I started actually showering with soap and stuff, and commenting

So I was actually shampooing my hair and everything (I used to just rinse with water when I felt icky), and my roommate was like, "Yo, how come you don't smell anymore these days?"

So the smell was actually coming from me after all, huh.

I feel kinda weird about this.

Been floating around communities since 2019

This meme keeps popping up whenever people talk about otakus and showers

Honestly I wrote that lol

Now I shower once every three days

That's major progress
