FANGIRL

There are some kinds of love in this universe. Without love, a human being will not be able to live normally and there will be something empty inside their hearts. This can be love for our God, parents, families, lovers, or maybe just for our bestfriends. But now just think about this case: how about love for someone that we have never even met before? Maybe just fangirls who know how it feels, because they are the one who have a non-sense head over heels in love all over the time.
What thing that comes in your mind when you hear the word “fangirls”? Maybe just a bunch of weird girls who are too much obsessed with the artist whom they admire to death. Why are they so weird? Because commonly, fangirls always have their own world, their own strange hobbies, and their own reason for being so crazy. The things such as plastering their idol’s face as their phone wallpaper, sticking so many huge posters at their rooms, overreacting when their favorite songs from their precious boys are played at the public place, sighing desperately when their hardisk is running out of memory due to a bunch of photos and videos that are too precious to be deleted, and other nonsense actions; they just do it naturally and with no other purpose than their own satisfaction over the idols. They just want to feel close with their boys. Moreover, fangirls even often call them as their ‘‘husband’’. See? It seems like fangirls’ imagination is their last hope.
The other thing about fangirl is for most of them, every single thing about their boys always matters. That is why they joined some fanbases that keep updating about their boys’ current condition all the time. And believe me it means trully literally, starting from what their idols are doing, if there is any newest clip or tv show, attending some events, or even just being spotted at a supermarket without wearing any make up. They keep sharing the information with the other fangirls all over the world. That’s why for these

    The word “fan” is coming from its etymological Latin root “fanaticus” which means enthusiastic and frantic and it is recognized as individuals who are fanatically obsessed with certain subjects. In general, the group of fans can be further defined as fandom. Fandom is more than merely an individual activity of being a fan, but rather, it is a collective behaviour and communal strategy forming an interpretive community of certain sub-cultural cohesion “evaded the preferred and intended meanings of the power bloc” (Gray, Harrington and Sandvoss, 2007). Fandom takes the form of group through which participants will socially share imagined concept and ideology of the community. It consists of observable network of identifiable individual as fans.…

    Change is one word that can allude to many different events in someone’s life: college, being a significant one. Not only the chance to discover what someone truly wants, college is full of parties, meeting new people, and the freedom of finally being an adult. Aspects that every student looks forward to… except Cath. Cather Avery is not ready for college and especially not ready for the biggest change of her life: being separated from her twin, Wren, who decided, without Cath, that she would be rooming separately. Fangirl, written by Rainbow Rowell, is Cath’s story, weaving through the ups and downs of college as well as young adult life and everything in between.

    Lauren Greenfield Cults

    So not only are they collectively longing for the celebrities lives, but many are longing for the lives of those they are surrounded by. Celebrities do, in fact, need their fans to purchase their merchandise and promote their work. Without fans, there can be no celebrity. Fans, on the other hand, believe they need the celebrities, not only to belong to a community, but to have a personal connection with someone successful. As Lauren Greenfield stated, “[t]he cult of celebrity bridges ordinary and privileged lives, as fans identify with their tabloid idols and enjoy the illusion of an intimate connection.” When watching a YouTube video or reading a tweet, it becomes easy to forget that the celebrities are not talking directly to you. Even when they do tweet fans directly, it can become very easy to believe that they view you as a friend, because that is how you have viewed them all…

    Many people look up to others as a source of admiration. Celebrities are usually the main targets of idolization because of their lifestyles, careers, struggles and successes. Celebrities are portrayed in the media in ways that make common people want to be like them and do what they do. Celebrities live amazing lives from what we see. They accumulate wealth and fame which draws the attention of people. But for some people like myself, I admire celebrities because they are a source of hope. At the age of twelve I sat at my kitchen table flipping through a gossip magazine (I cannot remember which magazine probably Us Weekly or Star). I flipped the pages briefly reading any articles, but not paying much attention to them. I eventually stopped when I saw Paris Hilton. She was so beautiful with her blonde hair and blue eyes. I can remember it like it was yesterday: her hair was in a bob and she was wearing a lavender dress. At that time I did not know that I was going to become her number one fan, but no one ever does. Over the past six years I have been a fan of Paris Hilton. I was not always her number one fan, but as time progressed, I went from an ordinary fan to extraordinary number one fan. Following these steps was very successful for me and can be very vital for you. As long as you are fascinated by a celebrity and determined to become his or her number one fan, to act in accordance with these steps will be easy. When I became a super fan there was no one that helped me, but luckily I have compiled these guidelines to make it easier for you. There are a few guidelines that I have set up to help assist you as you begin your journey to becoming a celebrity’s number one fan.…

    People can have romantic love, as much as it sounds gross, it’s true and others will someday have romantic love. People can have friend love. Friend love is actually really special. Say someone has known a boy for a very long time, and they consider him as their best friend, they may sometimes say you love him as a friend. Another one is family love. My personal opinion is that family love is the best love there is. Sometimes people have to be very careful what they do and say to their family members. Before Rachel went to school, she got in a huge argument with her brother and those were the very last words that he ever said to her before her death. People never know what could…

    The familial, maternal love from both families, especially after the lover’s bodies are discovered. The obsessive love Romeo has for Rosaline, and then Juliet. The infatuation Romeo and Juliet share. The unrequited love from Paris felt for Juliet and the everlasting ‘love’ between the dead lovestruck teenagers. Can that even be classed as love? What they felt for each other was either lust or infatuation, neither of which usually end romantically. Were the most famous fictional lovers in history ever truly in love at all? However, has anyone ever really been in love? Is love just a myth, the holy grail of emotions that seemingly everyone would, without question, die for? Love sells, this much is unquestionable. All anyone ever does is to be loved, by themselves or others. Every action made can be derived down to one driving force, love. Humans crave the feeling of being loved, some even get addicted to the feeling of falling in love like it’s a drug to be abused. It makes us weak, open to harm, and yet we still chase it like junkies craving another hit because there is no love without the possibility of pain. Thus making us all weak, but strong at the same time. There is almost nothing one wouldn’t do for true love but if one does not know true love but believes their fling to be it, they leave themselves completely open for the other to destroy them. The ultimate act of trust that Shakespeare's…

    Examples, such as these, are the type of phenomena scholars of fan studies encounter. These scholars recognize the overwhelming emotion generated by celebrity, note fan sentiments, and lacking the tools to describe emotion and the structure and purpose of fandom, decide, “It’s a religious thing” (Doss 1999, 72). As a credit to these scholars, fans use of religious language complicates matters and if one is to focus on that, you miss the purpose of this language. This first stream of celebrity music fandom-as-religion literature demonstrates the type of argument many scholars favor when encountering expression of fan sentiment, fan action, and the structural and functional purpose of fandom. A second, smaller, stream of literature aligns or characterizes fandom as a cult, sometimes literally, while a third stream challenges the celebrity music fandom-as-religion argument. This…

    Maltby and his team Identified three independent dimensions of celebrity worship. The first and least obsessive category is the entertainment social dimension, which relates to attitudes where individuals are attracted to a celebrity because of their perceived ability to entertain and become a social focus of conversation with like minded others. A more serious concern for young people is the growing popularity of worship of the second category, the intense personal dimension. Individuals affected by this realm of celebrity worship have intensive and impulsive feelings about a celebrity, often feelings of love or pride when their beloved celebrity wins an award. Scarily extreme and far too common is the third category, Borderline pathological. A person has uncontrollable behaviors and fantasies relating to their favorite celebrity in this dimension. Young people especially have been known to do more than just create shrines. They’ve tried drugs, robbed fellow fans, fought their way past countless security guards, and in the worst circumstances, taken their lives. “Our findings suggest the posibility that many people do not engage in celebrity worship for mere…

    To me Romantic and Passionate love is a huge deal that most people take for granted. People today don’t seem to put as much thought into saying “I love you” to someone as they should and don’t really have to same definition of love as some of these poets do. The poet that best represents my definition of love is Rainer Maria Rilke. Her poem simply says this “For one human being to love another is perhaps the most difficult task of all, the epitome, the ultimate test. It is striving for which all other strivings is mere preparation.”…

    Love means many different things to many different people. Some people think of love in a romantic or sexual way. Some think of love from friends and family or even a pet. There are many different kinds of love, but what is it actually? The American heritage dictionary defines love as an intense affection based on familial or personal ties. If this is so, then how can someone feel love for random strangers. Like when someone sees a picture of a starving child and they want to help or the recent shooting in Las Vegas, did people not feel love for those who were hurt? Nevertheless, love is not something earned through knowing someone or doing good deeds, love is always there for you, it is not just an emotion or something that feels good, love…
