Chuunibyou/LARP Thread

I thought this was a Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai based LARP thread at first.

Um, my friends and I used to play pokemon trainers as kids... not really embarrassing, sorry. I got nothing.

In middleschool a group of friends and i used to pretend to be hetalia characters i was south korea

>>8866771
haha don't feel bad. i was hoping this thread could be like some form of cathartic release as we admit to ourselves our most embarassing moments and accept the fact that we all were, at one point, immature lame-brains

Excuse me if it's haphazardly written, I usually proofread my greentext but I cannot bear to look at this one any longer than I need to.

>Middle school I think it was.
>I was the weird kid.
>Not "chuuni sperg mc fuckweeb" weird, more "eat glue and stick crayons up my nose" kinda weird.
>I also have these two friends.
>Twins.
>Not all that weird, seen as weird by association with me, mostly.
>So outcast not even the local weebs want anything to do with us.
>Can't blame them.
>Have this RP game in which we are aliens.
>Some alien race sent to investigate humans.
>"yeah, that's why we're outcast! it's because we're aliens!
>"it hurts.jpg"

Still, we weren't too retarded about it, it's not like we actually believed it or shoehorned it into other people. It was normal child play for the most part.
Until.

>About 7th grade, maybe.
>Hormonal 12-13yo, starting to discover sexual urges.
>Afraid of wanking for some reason, had only been dry-humping a pillow for relief.
>Still a fucking sperg.
>Talking to one of the twins, can't remember context.
>"So, anyway, I wonder if you have had sex with your pillow" or something along those lines.
>Blank stare from him.
>Repeat the question, completely oblivious.
>"WTF no!"
>"huh" I say, and we keep going like nothing.

I'm sure that exchange, or similar, happened multiple times, to the point he must have thought it was normal for our age or something. In my subconscious, though, I must have realized that was a little weird, as I always talked it with only one of the twins, and avoided the issue with the other, leaving him mentally virgin to how fucked up I was.

cont. for what this has to do with the alien RP we did.

>They're both sleeping over at my home.
>Mum is excited because I'm finally starting to have some friends.
>Convince mum to let us sleep on a tent, because "we're aliens, we gotta set up camp on the wild planet earth" or some shit.
>Spent evening fucking around on the tent, eating marshmallows, playing alien pretend thing.
>One of them receives a call from their mum, says he has to run an errand and leaves.
>Now I'm sitting here alone with the other one.
>On a tent, outside the house.
>At first we just keep pretending to be aliens though, like normal.
>Until I hear him ask a question
>"So, we're stranded aliens on planet earth, right?"
>"Yeah, what of it?"
>"Well don't we have to procreate?"
>"What?"
>"I mean, to preserve our species... it's only the three of us after all"
>At this point I don't know what to think, maybe I came across as gay to him with all the pillow humping talks I had with him or something.
>I didn't know what to do, but since we were still pretending to be aliens, and he framed in such a way, I just said the first thing that I thought would prevent him from trying to make out with me.
>I held a nearby pillow in the air.
>"H-Have you forgotten, captain [Weird alien-sounding name], we were given these... uh... female models.... for procreation purposes"
>He just plays along with it
>I won't dedicate more than one line to what happened next, just a pillow humping duo session, along with the most pathetic moment in my whole life.
>Awkward silence when that is over
>Other twin returns.
>Twin that stayed with me tells him about what happened while I glare at him.
>Awkward night sleep.
>Awkward morning
>We were never aliens again.

i was pretty bad with my friends around middle school, we had two games we'd play one was a fighting type game called "pental saga" (i didn't name it and i have no clue where the name came from) but it worked like a magic fighting game, we had another one called "circutry" that was basically a .hack// rip off both were fun then but super embarrassing. now

>>8867252

This, but with Naruto

I must have been around 10 years or so, but I once made one of those baby digimons out of clay in the hopes it would turn real. I basically prayed every night for it.

>Be me, high school kid
>Be that one geek who always goes 'Dude, all these normies are so damn stupid'
>Sit at back of classroom, not friends with anyone in class
>Convined ugly becuase fat and not very happy about being grill(Because all grills need 2 b sexy rite)
>Obsessed with the 19th century
>Wear suit jacket
>Realize self looks gorgeous
>Get shirt, waistcoat, shorts, and kneesocks.
>Wear this primitive kodona to school every day.
>Assigned to hold presentation on Victorian era
>Spend half the lesson talking about it while dressed in frilly shirt, frock coat, and striped pants
>Wear frock coat and inherited top hat outside
>Say 'Good day' as a greeting
>Attempt Victorian complicated speech
>Ended up sounding like Bertie Wooster on speed
>Yeah
>I was a Victoreeabo

I'll be completely honest; I'm still a total chuuni. I think it's because I was always such an ugly duckling as a kid but I revel in weeb attention. People often mistakenly assume that I'm part Asian and while normally I'll tell the truth, if a starry-eyed weeaboo asks me this I'll neither confirm nor deny it. When the Twilight craze was at its peak I got so many comments on my pale skin/copper brown hair combo that I started playing it up and even started using body lotion with a faint sparkle. One girl completely lost her shit when she first noticed it. I considered getting yellowish circle lenses but that was going too far, even for me. Tbh I never even read the books or watched the movies. The vampire shit was purely about fucking with/getting attention from Twitards.

I got into lolita because I genuinely like the clothes, but the fact that they let me be a pretty pretty princess all day everyday and attract admiring weeaboos to me ("oh em gee a real life gosurori!") certainly helps. I've had several guys declare me their IRL anime waifu. I make sure not to actually lead them on, though, and don't accept gifts or anything like that.

I'm not sure why I'm like this. There must be easier and more effective ways to get attention, and from people who aren't total dweebs. I think the attention is only part of it because I also really enjoy being surrounded by cringy people. They're like a source of entertainment that actually seeks me out.
I know I'm pathetic. One day I'll probably attract a truly crazy weeb who ends up stalking me or something. But until that happens I will happily continue to be Anon-chan, Gosurori Waifu Queen of Losers.

My friends and I had full on Beyblade tournaments. It was super fun, and makes Beyblade one of the most nostalgic anime of mine.

My siblings and I still play Noodle Wars. It's like a really diluted limb based LARP, with cut up pool noodles for weapons.

I had a gf at the time of the Twilight craze that fetishize me in the sense that i has tan and had good looks,and abnormally high body temp.I ran with it for a while but not in a rp sense.
Our whole group was hardcore chuunis with alternate names and backstories and this was in high school. most of them dropped it after graduation but kept the nicknames, I sorta did too.I have a hyperactive imagination, god help me if I go schizo or loony one day, so i still imagine scenerios that last a day if the day gets boring and make internal delusions that I can mentally impose but not actually see.

>>8869756
this reminds me of this famous 14 year old 'prodigy' musical conductor who does that shit, but it's Renaissance instead of Victorian.

I'm still pretty chuuni, my bf kind of is too tho so it's fine.

I used to pretend to be a Japanese/American girl on the interwebs (and a little at cons) because I was never taught anything of my heritage (parents are white, I am adoptive chink), and I just wanted to fit in with something, it might as well be muh japanese animes. I just remember being so lonely and miserable, I felt like I didnt fit in anywhere. I've gotten a lot better since then, though, and I'm deff better for it.

>>8870231
what do you guys do that make you chuuni

>>8867249
>>8867252

this is the best thing i've ever read on /cgl/

thank you for sharing!

my friend group spent hours together creating edgy backstories for each other. they weren't very inspired, either. mine was that both my "real" parents were secretly idols and that when i turned 16 they would come and take me to glorious nippon so i could join them.

>>8866777
desu after a few of these threads i feel like it was really common. i was japan, being a weeby fuck i loved it.

I pretended I was a ninja. I must have folded hundreds of paper ninja stars in 7th grade. I got kicked out of the catholic middle school and sent to public after I thought i was some sort of badass and started threatening people with scissors. After some severe asswhuppings, I slowly became a normal kid. Highlight of my high school life was when I was one of the first kids picked for a baseball game in PE after several years of being one of the last kids left.

I used it as a release in middle school, mostly after I felt rejected by everyone around me. I still hold on to a bit of it just to make enjoying fiction more fun. Probably throwing out anonymity by posting it, but w/e.
Tldr completely undefeatable superhero alter ego created from four different people (thanks Boomerang for introducing me to Firestorm and thus fusion, I wasn't a DBZ) which were myself (or I guess the name I chose for myself in a fictional universe), a certain blue fox, a certain EM Wave, and a certain purified (I guess) supercomputer entity (show hadn't gotten far enough to ruin my "it's a corrupted version of her brother!" theory yet) and there was some bullcrap about how Mega's energy interacting with Krazoa powers using Xana's translation or whatever, or maybe it was his darkness factor, I forget. Either way, it developed into a "power corrupts" story, I used the characters as alternate personalities for myself if "I" got tired or something. Defeated a couple Big Bads that way arbitrarily, "XMians" (because AM, FM, naturally satellite radio had to have a planet too) and "Dark Auras" being chief among them. I made them up when I closed my eyes and immediately saw the outline of a monster, then decided that’s what one of them should look like - I didn't realize I literally just drew a pointier purple and black version of Alien until a few years later, but I actually went on to create the thing in 3D a year after the whole thing was over. I also had a story arc involving Disneyland which I took from an old site (Read through the internet archive of freewebs com disneyconspiracy this it’s terribly cringey but guaranteed to make your next trip to CA Disneyland a lot funnier) and sort of went to and “altered” the spots it mentioned to turn things in favor of the Rebels (which amounted to subtly Force twisting things with my hand).

>>8871346
Eventually the dark side of it manifested itself, which (thanks freaking Naruto/Bleach/ANIMAL I HAVE BECOME) I used to vent my angst. It was only after someone appeared in my life during freshman year and actually tried to care about me that I was able to fully throw out my dependency on it. I never really knew her all that well but I have a lot to thank her for. Literally answered prayers there. I bullcrapped an ending AU for my character after I stopped, where she sacrificed herself and it finally got through to me that I had to give up the power or be consumed by it. Upon subduing my dark other with this newfound strength, I retroactively wiped all trace of the hero from actual reality, creating the normal timeline we have now.
I tried writing a fic about it but gave up. Years later tried rewriting it. Then KHBBS did exactly how I was going to have the final battle look with the Ven vs Van fight, and I gave up for good and posted spoilers of how it would've went down. Nowadays I have a different story I chuu on, but I normally keep it to myself unless someone asks. The “plot” is infinitely more fun/hilarious because it involves real-time watching cartoons/other works of fiction. Among things in that plot are “Lapis is the one who knows about other realities in Steven Universe, but she’s trapped as Malachite due to the offscreen influence of another person with that knowledge who went rogue after their show was FINALLY cancelled, looking at you, Gil from Johnny Test, abusing your reality warping powers to force main characters to fawn over you throughout your series.

>>8871347
tl;dr when I saw the words "Dark Flame Master" appear I immediately knew I was going to love watching Chuunibyou because I'd called myself something very similar in middle school. There's more to it but explaining any further is just... no. (unless you REAAALLLY want it.)

>>8871347
>Nowadays I have a different story I chuu on, but I normally keep it to myself unless someone asks
Nah, that's just a normal fantasy, I do that too, wouldn't call it chuu2.

When I was VERY little maybe 7-9 I imagined that I had a power where if I snapped my fingers in front of an item at the store it would appear in my bedroom for free. I had a little inner drama where I was hired by some villain organization to steal things and ended up taking over and ruling my own country because the organization leader was an evil king of course.

>>8866762
I had an entire imaginary world called Meebiolia. Among its inhabitants were a rectangle-headed girl named Beebee Brickhead, Carlatta Manzana, (pop star alter ego of my bff at the time) and Kate Kim. (My own pop star alter ego.)

I had a fashion magazine where I would post the latest Meebiolian news and keep up with trends. I'm honestly surprised I never added any weeby mahou shoujo tropes into the world, as I was big into Tokyo Mew Mew at the time.

>>8871358
this.

chuuni is taking it out of your imagination into the real world, believing in it to a degree that will retroactively look like psychosis.

LARPing imaginatively (as e.g. Hetalia characters) is different from being chuuni, but its own kind of cringe.

daydreaming in general is the default state of the human brain; go wild with it. just don't let it destroy your social standing.

>>8871358
At what point does it stop being fantasy and start being chuunibyou I wonder...?
I guess it's the "using it as a crutch" thing, but then I've done that with the more recent plotline too when under a LOT of stress (and it does tie back in to the original as an example of "what not to do")

>>8871511
when it IS your real life.

anyone have the final fantasy 7 horror story that used to get posted a lot? i hardly remember the details except it involved creepy shit from someone who thought she literally was Sephiroth maybe?

>>8871517
found it immediately.

THIS, my friends, is the true meaning of chuuni:

>>8871521
>being this bad
Jeez anon my eighth grade self looks manageable compared to this
I still have these like mental blocks sometimes that I have get over in some chuu-ish ways but it was never this bad
At least I was smart enough to contain it with my sister and cousin
The worst I probably did involving anyone else was when my sister revealed my crush to my parents I switched her powers to be ice based and removed her from the fire-based powers I considered superior. Hilariously, she then took that idea of an ice character and made her first OC (originally as mary sue as it gets) that she's rewriting nowadays, and is probably quicker to respond to the nickname "Icy" that stuck than her own name. So something good did come out of it, I guess, once it was all said and done.
But dang man. That is probably the truest chuuni ever, and it ended up pretty much the worst possible way.

I would pretend to be Ciel and my currently then bff was Sebastian. I was short and lean and she was as well so we would do yaoi pairings a lot. We also dreamed of cosplaying as Miharu and Yoite from Nabari No Ou because why not and pretended to be ninjas and junk in 7th grade. We would scream and giggle whenever we thought of us kissing in our crossplays and when drawing yaoi shit. It was fun until it lasted though.

When I was younger, I would pretend to be in a blend of Pokemon and Blue Clue's looking for pikachu paw clues with my trusty pikachu plushie and run around having fun catch pokemon in my little world and solve the mystery of the day. Good times though

>>8871521
jesus fuck i forgot about some of this

>I think I'm going to be selling some of Jen's worthless stuff that she left here on ebay along with a description of what happened to me. I was wondering if I could link your site as well. I'm hoping that people will feel sorry for me, and pay more than the item is worth. For instance, I have a riding crop that jen broke across angel's back, and then continued to whip her with, leaving huge bleeding gashes across her back. That might sell.

>I finally figured out how to get Jen to bathe. I would tell her she smelled like vampire, and she would go and shower so that noone would know. I think that was genius.

>I have no father, and my mother isn't human. My crazy Uncle Michael works for MI-5, and my Best guy friend was created in a super secret laboratory in Glendale, California, and "born" in the same hospital I was in Pasadena, which leads us both to believe that I might be part of the same "project". My husband, by the way, besides being Metatron, is also a No Life King. Not a nosferatu, no, but an echthros. And a mad scientist. And an Emperor. And a Priest.

Oh god in middle and late elementary school me and my sister used to pretend we were Ichigo and Zakuro from Tokyo Mew Mew. I was so obsessed. God there's a video of us on YouTube somewhere singing the mew mew power opening and dancing and shit. Like we filmed a goddamn music video with my shitty video camera and put it together in windows movie maker. I can't remember the login of that YouTube so I can't take it down. I've just been waiting for it to pop up in a cringe thread. It's probably bound to happen someday.

Most of this is normal pretend playing. I am glad you anons don't go into full delusion mode.

>be young me, abuse survivor trying to cope with shit

>comms joined are a mix of yaoi pairing shit, magick powers shit, and abuse/trauma shit
>because being raped repeatedly on the astral plane by a mad scientist who magically stalks you to this day is EXACTLY THE SAME as being abused on the physical reality everyone else has access to

I used to play Tokyo Mew Mew with my little sister when I was 9 years old. I was Mew Blueberry and I bought a sparkly leotard and scrunchy I put on my leg to make it look like I had a magical girl costume.

Now, I'm about to graduate high school and I know a guy who is still unbelievably chuuni, to the point where he's renamed himself to "Crowaguard Ravenheart" and claims to be a snowfelt demon crow from hell. I can see if I can find some screencaps of him if this is interesting

>>8866777
I remember when I moved school and the first, well second, group of friends I met were huge Hetalia fans while I was slowly losing my interest in it. By the next year it was like we had agreed to forget about it.

When I was like 10 me and my best friend used to pretend we were the twin children of Sabrina the Poke'mon gym trainer (she was probably only 14 in the anime but to our 10 year old minds that was ancient) who had been sent to earth when Team Rocket invaded Saffron city. Our names were Sarena and Ace we obviously had powers like our mother but we couldn't use them because then Team Rocket would find us, there was a lot of angsting over how if we could just use our telekinesis then they'd see; they'd all see!

A couple of years past and best friend and I got into Dragonball Z. We came up with this whole plotline about how Sarena and Ace in trying to get back to the poke'mon universe somehow ended up in the DBZ one and we could now switch between that and earth. We were obviously far stronger than Goku and were the ones who defeated Cell not Gohan. We pretty much spent every lunch break talking about how cool and powerful we were and how much we missed home and shit like that.

It all came to and when we were sent to our crappy towns gender segregated high schools. But I did write a couple of 'books' about our adventures that I still have. Despite how cringy it all was I still miss being Sarena the daughter of Sabrina the psycic gym trainer who was stronger than Goku.
