The Guidebook to maintaining a relationship with a fangirl:
To be my enemy: disrespect what I do, mock my fandom and or fellow fangirls.
To be my friend: nod and offer vague support when i’m ranting/fangirling, listen, and pretend to understand how cute my protagonist is, and what a douche the antagonist is.
To be my best friend: be a fellow fan, or at least have a knowledge of my fandom. speculate with me, calm me down when i’m feeling too much, and promise yourself i’ll return to semi-sanity when the next episode is done with.
To be my parents: pass off my love for fictional characters as a completely normal, young adult, way of avoiding real-life drama and hurt, and tell yourself that the fanfiction you found crammed in with my school things are a healthy expression of my creativity, and offer promise to my future as a novelist.
To be my significant other: physically and emotionally support me when our favorite characters are hurt, compliment my otp, debate theories, be excited about updates, leaks, and previews, cosplay with me, and squeal like a little kid at disney when things turn out alright.
So I accidentally let my fangirl out today and school and i started crying because i was so excited i don’t know what came over me but everyone around be dispersed because they thought i was suffering a mental breakdown
wtf jill I just read the heromine and the sorting hat fanfiction cannot unsee cannot unbreathe holy shit what was that what was that.
But no, seriously guys. There was one part I liked.
“Goodbye cruel world.” The hat intoned before he jumped from the edge of the tower. He closed his eyes awaiting the end.
A wind picked up and the hat spiraled, floating downward until he landed on the ground relatively unharmed.
“Oh shit, that’s right I’m a hat.”
Fandom (a portmanteau of fan [fanatic] and the suffix -dom [domain], as in kingdom, freedom, etc.) is a term used to refer to a subculture composed of fanscharacterized by a feeling of sympathy and camaraderie with others who share a common interest. Fans typically are interested in even minor details of the object(s) of their fandom and spend a significant portion of their time and energy involved with their interest, often as a part of a social network.

Whenever i’m reading a book, the protagonist becomes my best friend, the antagonist my worst enemy, and the protagonist’s friends and helpers my family. I’m not sure why, but that’s how it always works. I merge into the book, and before I know it, i’m walking around my world, in the mindset of the fictional one.
