The satanic cult that will destroy you and everything you love. They will take control of your mind and break it so you think about nothing but your ships, fanfics and fanart. Don't try to fight back, just sell them your soul while you fangirl screech to the grave.
A fanbase is a word used to describe the collection of people who mutually enjoy something. A fandom is so much more than that. This is when these people unite. Their passion is sucked into one single point and forms a black hole of fantasies. They feed off it and their passion grows. An inferno of animated gifs and captioned screengrabs explodes outward, engulfing every tumblog in sight. Fangirls screaming and crying everywhere. All is lost.
The wars between boyband 'fandoms' strike fear into the hearts of many.
Fandom means family. And family means no one sits alone in mental institute. Because there are so many days when it looks like we are all going to end up in one.
( Warning: Prepare some cash, if you are joining fandom. Therapies are expensive)
A fandom is a group, or community, of people who like a game, book, or specific topic. Usually on social media, a fandom is not a uncommon sight
Most people have gone into a fandom, and there is a most likely chance a person will go into a fandom, and leave one, once in their life.
Fandoms can be good or bad, depending on the age of people, the smarts of people, and the amount of cringe of people. Emojis and cringe, etc. can ruin a fragile fandom. Not to mention horny artists who have the urge to make porn. (At least the art is good.)
An innocent word used for describing a cult of sleep-deprived people who obsess over one or multiple comics, books, tv shows, movies, video games, etc.
(I mean this in the nicest possible way, I am a member of a number of fandoms myself.)
Beatrice is a member of the Divergent fandom. She cannot stop reading fanfiction and searching fanart. Her OTP is FourTris. She read all the books before seeing the movies.
A group of fangirls/boys who are usually found on social media sites such as Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram.
They are actually some of the nicest people you can meet, since many have been through their share of pain and can understand most people's emotions.
Most non-fangirls/boys tend to believe that we're brainless psychopaths with zero grammatical skill, who will murder anyone who is standing in the way of their favorite book/celebrity/etc, but that is not true (in most cases). We're actually pretty nice people, and if you get to know a few, you might actually like them.
Those "fans" that claim they're going to marry a celebrity and actually consider it true are fake fans and are not to be believed.
Many of us actually write brilliant fanfictions (The majority of us prefer Wattpad over Fanfiction.net) and draw amazing art (Example: Viria and Finchwing on DA), as opposed to what many of you want to believe.
A few fandoms are (and are not limited to) Warriors (Warrior Cats), Demigods (PJO and HOO), Directioners (One Direction), the 5SOSFam (5 Seconds of Summer), Whovians (Doctor Who), the Tyler Oakley fandom (Tyler Oakley), the Bro Army (PewDiePie), etc.
***WARNING***
YOU SHOULD NEVER INSULT A FANGIRLS/BOY'S OTP, FANDOM, OR LOVED CHARACTER/CELEBRITY/BOOK/ETC. YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF MOBBED BY HUNDREDS (I'm not exaggerating) OF FANGIRLS/BOYS IF YOU HAPPEN TO DISTURB THE WRONG FANDOM. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE US
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Person #1: I'm actually feeling a bit sad.
Person #2: Why? What's wrong?
Person #1: I accidentally slipped that I hate Harry Potter and 5 Seconds of Summer on my Instagram account, and people started attacking me.
Person #2: They were probably the fangirls. If one hears that you hate something they love, they'll call the whole fandom over.
Person #1: Yeah, no kidding! My account got so many reports that it got deleted! And then somehow they found my backup and private accounts and got those deleted, too!
Person #2: Well, at least now you know not to mess with fandoms!
