Name: Emily H.
Location: Oakville, Ontario, Canada
Bio: I am college student working my way to become a pharmacy technician. Once I graduate, I’m going to start towards getting my license. I am a passionate fan of sci-fi and fantasy since I was a little girl. I have a very vivid imagination and I love to write so I blog on my down time.
So many fandoms. What’s yours?
Disney, Star Wars, Star Trek, Mass Effect, Transformers, Pokémon, Marvel, Game of Thrones, Bionicle, Halo, Chaotic, Lord of the Rings, Gears of War and so much more!
What does it mean to be a fangirl?
To me, being a fangirl shows that you’re not afraid to admit that you are one and the things you do as a fangirl. For example, I have the confidence to admit that I am in love with many different fictional characters from my fandoms such as Plo Koon from The Clone Wars. I’m not afraid to wear my favorite clothes and jewelry that represent a fandom I am in when out in public, and overall I’m not afraid to be myself. I think every fangirl should embrace what makes them special and do what makes them happy no matter how unusual it is. All that matters is that you enjoy it, and if other people like what you do, that’s a bonus.
How do you subtly (or not-so-subtly!) work your fandom into everyday life?
Oh my, well as a huge Star Wars fan I have a lightsaber but since I can’t bring that around with me…I love my accessories! I have nerdy jewelry from Star Wars, Transformers and Game of Thrones that I wear with my everyday clothes to school and I will do the same thing at my future job. I even made 3D printed rings that are like the ones worn by Claude Frollo to represent my love for The Hunchback of Notre Dame, one of my favorite Disney movies.
