Fanart GLEE: Once Upon A Time

I have a not-so-secret joy these past television seasons that comes from looking forward to new episodes of Once Upon A Time. This season started out pretty crazy and I freakin’ love it so much already. All you Oncers know what I’m talkin’ about, but I will not spoil it for anyone else! This series is teeming with so many amazing characters so this collection of fanart will be a little bit all over the place, but I wanted to show my appreciation for the new season… plus, it is kind of hard to pick a favorite character. I am Team Emma x Regina forever though.

Awesome Fanfic Monday: Frodo and His Rubber Undies

Welcome to another edition of Awesome Fanfic Monday!

One of my top fandoms is Lord of the Rings, so it goes without saying that a lot of my favorite pieces of fanfiction take place in middle earth. One of my favorite kinds of fanfiction is the parody. Nothing puts a smile on my face like seeing or reading about characters I love acting silly.

This week’s Awesome Fanfic Monday is dedicated to Frodo’s Mistake by Michicko of Fanfiction.net. This parody has everything an LotR fangirl could want. There is hilarious homoeroticism between Frodo and Sam, Legolas is acting like the sassiest of sassy-pants and just CAN’T EVEN, and Merry and Pippin are embracing their gangster side.

Fanart GLEE: Gundam Wing

Fanart by prodigybombay @ deviantart

Riding on a bit of an anime nostalgia train at the moment and how do I forget one of my first weeaboo awakening? Gundam Wing.

Sure, just like any other Asian girl who grew up with Sailor Moon, anime has always been a part of my life. It wasn’t until I fell into the deep, fandom hole of Gundam Wing that I discovered there is a level of love for anime that I’ve never explored before. Slash fiction? Pining for supposedly 15-year old boys who pilot war-rigged mecha robots? Fangirling with no concept of shame? Sign me up.

This edition of Fanart GLEE is dedicated to the five boys who defined what “doki doki” meant to me.

Love Live premiere in Los Angeles: Cry all your sparkly, weeaboo tears

If you are into anime at all, there’s no way you haven’t heard of Love Live, the insanely popular series that tells the story of a group of girls that saves their school by becoming an idol group, and gaining popularity by singing and dancing their way into people’s hearts, creating more new students for the small, failing school.

With two seasons under their belt, the 9 girls of LoveLive finish their story arc with their feature film, LoveLive! The School Idol Movie, debuting all of the world this past weekend. (Don’t worry, they are planning a new season, but it will feature different girls at a different school striving to be idols!)

NIS America distributed the LoveLive! movie across the US, including several sold out weekend showings at the Downtown Independent Cinema in Los Angeles, CA. Luckily, we (YumeNinja and Myself, ChubbyBunny Michelle) were able to score some tickets and join our weeaboo brethren to the path of our trash life, haha.
