Fangirls are scary, scary humans. We all know this.
It's a horrifying thought, I know, but have you ever stopped to consider that you might be a fangirl? It's important that you make sure. In this post, I will be identifying the symptoms of this mania to help you decide whether or not you have this problem.
So, without further ado:
1. You use the phrases "I ship it", "The feels!", and "I can't even!" in your everyday conversations.
2. You have a Pinterest board and/or a Tumblr blog dedicated to one of your fandoms.
3. You squeal or flail when your OTP does something cute.
4. You know what an OTP is.
5. You've had actual fights over which Avenger is the best.
6. You know that using all-caps is PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE.
7. You feel inexpressible pain when your favorite web-series ends.
8. You exaggerate. Big time.
9. You have so many crushes on fictional boys that you can't even count them all anymore.
10. You own fandom merch.
11. You know what fanfiction is, and you either write it, read it, or run away from it as fast as you can.
12. You have a hard time keeping calm when a favorite author retweets or favorites your tweet.
13. Your favorite people don't even know you exist.
14. You literally scream when a book ends in a cliffhanger.
15. You get angry when other fangirls ship the wrong ship.
16. Your greatest fear is series finales.
17. You have so many feels. So. Many.
Still unsure of where you stand on the Fangirl Chart? Here's a helpful guide.
If None of these relate to you: Great news! You are not a fangirl! Your life must be so very comfortable...
If 1 - 6 of these relate to you: Hmm, looks like you have a bit of a problem. You are certainly showing some symptoms. Don't worry, it's not too serious - as long as you keep it in check.
If 7 - 12 relate: FANGIRL ALERT. Things are getting out of hand, I'm afraid. The good news is that it's not too late to start working on your problem. Just remember - conceal, don't feel. Don't let them know.
If you relate to 13 - 17 of these: I am sorry. I am so, so sorry.
Later, everybody! I'm off to go marathon a couple of web-series and add a couple more hundred pins to my Doctor Who board!
love,
Hannah
I am a fangirl. And these describe me so well. I JUST CANT.
ReplyDeleteSee, I'm a fangirl.
We are scary. Very scary. xD

I CAN'T EVEN EITHER. Glad you're a fangirl, too :)
DeleteMy diagnosis says I'm a fan girl. :) I started laughing when I read the symptoms because they really described me and my feels.
ReplyDelete*fangirl high-five!* Glad this made you laugh!
DeleteI'm pretty sure, like, 18/17 of these apply to me.
ReplyDelete*sits in respectful silence*
*whispers*
I am...one of THEM.
You are certainly one of us, Olivia. #SHERLOCKIANSUNITE
DeleteHaha, good post, Hannah. I got about 6 or 7, so I'm doing okay! :P
ReplyDeleteThank you, Danielle! :D
DeleteEh. Not bad. I got ten of them. I'm usually a quieter kind of fangirl, which I'm perfectly fine with. I can definitely relate to all of the above involving feels. My feels take a beating regularly, haha. The only ones I don't do are the ones involving shipping and OTPS. Nope.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
There are so many different sorts of fangirls out there! I'm starting to realize that I should have mentioned that fact in my post. Thanks for commenting, Ana!
DeleteOHMYGOSH YES YES SO MUCH YES I MEAN WHAT.
ReplyDeleteLike, Season Finales. In Sherlock. YOU CAN'T OH MAN.
I love this. ♥
I KNOW, GIRL, I KNOW. Thanks, Peregrin :)
DeleteI am not any of those! There are some things I really do like, but I don't think I am that much of a fangirl. I am too much a dreamer.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, you know - I love seeing how everyone relates to or is different from the "typical fangirl" I described.
DeleteI'm not a loud fangirl... most of the time. I do scream OTP a lot though... (that Agony gif though... the feels, man. The feels! Feels on fleek!)
ReplyDeletexoxo Morning
Glad you liked that GIF...I had a good laugh about it :D SO MANY FEELS.
DeleteOooh this is great!! 2, 3, 6, 13, 14. YES. Awesome post!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emily!
DeleteYeeeeesh... I barely still fit in the 7-12 fangirl category. But I can't help it! I have so many feels and I ship stuff, and I. Just. Can't. Even!!!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me laugh and then groan at the fact that I will probably never stop being a fangirl. I feel so sorry for my future children if I ever have any... Hopefully they'll all be fangirls/boys and won't be embarrassed. XD
Fangirls rock! :) Embrace the fangirliness. Thanks for commenting, Elizabeth!
Deletehaha yes! To all of these! XD
ReplyDeleteAlso, loved the Green Gables Fables gif! One of my absolute favorite vlog adaptions. I am forever depressed until season two comes!
It's one of my favorites, too. #7 was actually referring to that! Thanks for commenting, Hannah :D Glad you can relate.
DeleteGaaah, these are so SPOT ON. Like, oh gosh. This post is just so brilliant! All the GIFs match so perfectly. I think I just have a little bit of a problem. But #15 is my life. All da way. I love love love your blog, Hannah! You've got a new fan and follower. (:
ReplyDeleteYou are so so sweet, thank you! I'm glad you liked this post! I'm off to go check out your blog. :)
DeleteTHIS APPLIES SO MUCH. I can't even.
ReplyDeleteWELL, GOOD. :D
DeleteOh gosh. HANNAH. I'm- I'm a full blown fangirl. This post is scarily accurate and I absolutely adored it. Firstly it's in list form, and secondly, each point HAS A GIF!!!!!!!! I swear, I almost started fangirling while reading a post about fangirling. Eeesh.

You're awesome, Chloe! Yeah, I thought I could get away with excessive GIF use seeing as this post was all about being a fangirl! Thanks for this comment :)
DeleteAbsolutely hilarious post Hannah! I see myself in so many of these - I can't count the number of times I've squealed about OTPs, fangirled in all caps or used the phrases "I ship it", "The feels!", and "I can't even!" in everyday conversation. Glad to know I'm not alone! ;) Love the GIFs and thanks for the wonderful, entertaining post! <33
ReplyDelete~ Zoe @ Stories on Stage
Thank you so much, Zoe! I'm so glad that you can relate to the fangirly feels.
DeleteI RELATE TO ALL 17. ALL OF THEM. SEND HELP. Actually...don't. I will can't even about shipping my OTPs in agony FOREVER AND EVER IN HAPPINESS. *collapses with feeeeeels*
ReplyDeleteTHANKS, PAL. OKAY YEAH I WON'T SEND HELP.
Deletepart of my mum's car number plate is OTP, i squealed ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's really funny :) I would've squealed, too.

ReplyDeleteThey all relate to me..
Wowzers... :D
Btw just curious who your Doctor Who OTP is.. I love 10/Rose, 12/Clara and my friend ships 12/Me :-)
~Evie
My DW OTP? Hmm...good question! I'd have to say 10/Rose and Amy/Rory. Also 11/Me. :D Wait so you ship 12 and Clara? Wow! I'm guessing Danny wasn't a fave...
DeleteThank you! =D Oh yeah Amy and Rory! (My brain goes Rory the Roman!) hhehe You can take 11 I'll have 12 :P and yes I do very much so. Danny was good I geuss, like he was funny and all but I didn't like the way Clara had to lie to him a lot and somtimes he just got annoying. Hmmmmmmmmmm *twitches nose in thought* Yup 12 and Clara for me.. =D
