"Fangirls (or fanboys) have many different levels of dedication. For the unaware, they are a group who obsesses over a fictional character or actor.\nSome show their love for their TV show or movie of choice with a fandom inspired pin. Others have built room shrines like the one from Hey Arnold. How much you fangirl is a personal decision. \nSee also: 18 Drawings You'll Swear Are Actual Photographs\nWherever you fall on the scale, there are others who understand your feels. This is the full cycle of fangirl-dom.\n\n\nThe 14 Levels of Fangirling\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Casual Fangirl \nThis show is pretty good. You're definitely going to see the sequel to that movie. The actors and actresses are talented, attractive individuals.\n\nImage: Tumblr merlincaststalker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Fangirl Lite \nActually, this show is excellent. Is there fanfiction? You won't leave the cast photo as your screensaver for that long ... you needed a new one anyway.\n\nImage: Tumblr mrl0n3w01f96\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Self-Aware Fangirl Leveling Up\nYes, you've watched the trailer ten times just to make sure you caught all the subtext. And maybe occasionally paused on close-ups of the leads' faces -- just to see what their facial expressions said about the plot. But you're not going to tell anyone about it.\n\nImage: Tumblr shitlockandwhatupson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Collector Fangirl\nYou just need a T-shirt with that one quote on it. And maybe a sticker of your favorite character. And an exact replica of that ring they found in that one episode.\n\nImage: Tumblr whenincambridge\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Fangirl Denial\nThe next movie in the series came out, and you read that the actors are trying not to laugh at an inside joke in the last scene. And when the lead actress pointed in the first scene what did she really mean? Maybe you should talk about something else.\n\nImage: Tumblr dreamychick\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Fangirl Submission\nYou know your friends are sick of hearing about your fandom. You know you should talk about something else, but the feels are too overwhelming. You have to share them with someone. Anyone.\n\nImage: Tumblr browndude123\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Overtaken Fangirl\nThe story is just so perfect: the lines, and the way the characters say the lines with their mouths and their voices. How is anyone talking about anything else?!\n\nImage: Tumblr heroinforthesoul\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Apologetic Fangirl\nYou realize you've been a bit obsessive and you feel it's time to apologize to your non-fandom friends for trying to drag them into it. \n\nImage: Tumblr color-me-naive\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Fangirl Community\nYou discover message boards and fanblogs. There is a whole slew of people just like you. Suddenly, you are obsessing over your Facebook friend list labeled \"People Who Get It.\"\n\nImage: Tumblr whatshouldbetchescallme\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Analytic Fangirl\nAfter watching that one scene for the hundredth time, the line repeated two seasons later totally makes sense! Did anyone else catch how the lead said \"hey\" to his lady friend? They are so in love. Everything makes sense.\n\nImage: Tumblr t3mporarily-alive\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11. Judgmental Fangirl\nThis is a level many will skip, as fandoms are supposed to support the community. But if someone doesn't know the name of the restaurant in episode 203? Judging you.\n\nImage: Tumblr babyfloop\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12. Raging Fangirl\nEVERYTHING IS FANDOM AND EVERYTHING HURTS AND CAPLOCKS ARE THE ONLY WAY TO PROPERLY EXPRESS ALL YOUR EMOTIONS.\n\nImage: Tumblr whatshouldglotzbachcallme\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13. Unapologetic Fangirl\nYour fandom is the best fandom. Your characters are the best characters. You are not interested in hearing from anyone who disagrees.\n\nImage: Tumblr thecakeandeatingit\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14. Fangirl Exhaustion\nCompletely obsessing over a piece of pop culture can be tiresome, and sometimes you just need a break. Unfortunately that's not going to happen, because there are GIFs to be made and fan art to be drawn.\n\nImage: Tumblr jennywilliamson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhatever you're level may be, it's OK.\n\n\nImage: Tumblr medschoolapplicant\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeople offline might not understand your devotion. \n\n\nImage: Tumblr yourewelcomeforbeingmyfriend\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut the internet understands.\n\n\nImage: Tumblr twitchyhedwig\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Flickr AndrewH324"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
