Fangirling isn’t something easy, okay? It requires a lot of patience, hard work, intelligence and what not. And not to forget, creativity. So here I am today, and I will be talking about fangirling. Just the basic things, you know.

Alright, to be a fan there are a couple of things you should know.

      1.       You should be a fan.

Yes, people. I dropped the truth bomb on you. Without an idol, you can’t become a fangirl (or a fanboy). I’m sorry.

              2.       Now that you’re a fan, get to know your idol.

A fan isn’t a person who is just charmed by the looks of their idol, or just likes a song or two. If you want to be real fan, you have to know them, their every single song/movie/book etc., their family tree, their small details. And how can you do that? Easy, just follow them on social media platforms, keep track of what they do, and yeah, don’t forget to watch every single interview of theirs.

 3.       Next comes the most important thing, fangirling/boying.

You’ve already researched about them and virtually became the closest person to them. Now comes the part where you actually show your appreciation to them, and if not them, then at least their fan community. You can make fan arts or edits. Sometimes if you don’t have enough time to make an edit, so you can just post their videos/pictures.

 4.       Reach your idol.

Now you’ve done so much to get noticed, but I have to break it to you that it’s not enough. If you want to reach them, keep up with all their posts and constantly keep commenting on them. Someday or the other, they will notice you.😉

 5.       Final touch.

Now that you’ve done everything, you just need to keep yourself updated, and yes, ALWAYS SUPPORT THEM. But one last thing, since you’re doing so much for your idol, do not divert from your daily routine and forget everything else.

So this is how you show your absolute support for your idol and at least, this is how I do it. And now I’m going to end it here. So… toodles.
