How do you subtly (or not-so-subtly!) work your fandom into everyday life?
I’ve been looking to the original Sailor Moon anime for outfit inspirations; wearing clothes similar to Sailor Jupiter’s casual wear helps me feel strong and confident.
Do you have a favorite quote, or personal motto?
“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light” -Albus Dumbledore
What does it mean to be a fangirl?
To me, being a fangirl is about caring a ton about a fandom, and finding friendships within it.
