Whether you’re a fangirl or fanboy, everyone has gone through this phase one way or another and once you can spot the signs, it just becomes all the more obvious. At some part of your life, you may have found yourself idolising someone, whether its bands, singers, groups or even K-pop, and there are definitely signs that show that. How much of a fangirl\/fanboy do you think you are? See how many things you can tick off this list to see if you were more of a fan than you thought.<\/p>\n
Whether it\u2019s already down and there are marks on your wall from it, we all know that a poster was once there. In my case? I haven\u2019t even touched the poster once since I put it up 10 years ago even if I stopped being a fangirl. Who knows if I\u2019ll even ever take it down!<\/span><\/p>\n \n I know you have scoured the internet at least, to find a quote or cartoon sticker of them that is unnoticeable enough that you can pass off as a simple sticker for your laptop or books. You probably don\u2019t want to come off too strongly of a fangirl but you still want to represent your faves, am I right?<\/span><\/p>\n Official merch is always more expensive than it should be and as a 16-year-old, there are often times you can\u2019t afford that. Sometimes, the official merch isn\u2019t even nice! In those cases, fan-made merch is always the best option. Who knows the best ways to showcase their idols than a fangirl?<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s be real, you buy tons of concert merch but you\u2019re probably never going to use or wear it. That\u2019s not going to stop you from buying more next time though. At least the shirts find use in bed. A friend needs to borrow a shirt for a sleepover? Oversized concert merch it is!<\/span><\/p>\n \n Whether it\u2019s a fact about your idol, of where they\u2019re born or their entire ancestry, or something that they have said or done, you still remember it. Years into the future, you may be getting married or working full time and one of those facts will just come to mind. It makes you wonder how you can so easily recite their entire discography but you can\u2019t remember your mother\u2019s birthday. <\/span><\/p>\n They may be gifts from others or gifts from yourself but whatever the case, you have many albums hidden away that you don\u2019t know what to do with now. You can\u2019t bring yourself to throw them away or sell them, but you will probably never open it again. Maybe one day you can show your kids your idols and pass on the legacy. At least vinyls are coming back into trend, so grab yourself a vinyl copy of your favourite band album to make it aesthetic.<\/span><\/p>\n What more needs to be said? There\u2019s definitely a ticket stub from an old concert in your memory box and that\u2019s totally valid. Perhaps getting them laminated might be a bit much though.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you have been blessed somehow and got the chance to meet your idol, the signed item is definitely still coveted in your bedroom somewhere. It could simply be an album, or a t-shirt, or even a phone case! They had to sign whatever you had on the time and that makes that item even more precious. <\/span><\/p>\n You may have done it knowingly or just out of curiosity, but the word fanfic isn\u2019t unfamiliar to you. If you have written fanfiction, girl, I know you spent more effort there than your homework. Perhaps the memory just came back to you and you\u2019re wondering what the ending to that one fanfic was?<\/span><\/p>\n Perhaps it was a fan-made music video, a lyric video, a photoshopped picture, painting, or even a song! The list can go on. You may have just dabbled into it or completed it with proud effort but, there\u2019s definitely some kind of creative piece dedicated towards your idol. <\/span><\/p>\n Going on from the 10th sign, you may have taken your hobby that one step further and gained a valuable skill from idolizing someone! Whether you learnt how to photoshop, paint, or write, perhaps those hobbies went on to become your choice of career or study! <\/span>No one needs to know why or how you got into those hobbies but we all know the reason deep down.<\/span><\/p>\n \n Whether a boy wore it or a girl, it doesn\u2019t matter as long as they looked cute in it and you think so will you. It might\u2019ve been expensive or might just be a small accessory but who doesn\u2019t want something their idol also owns?<\/span><\/p>\n2.
