Creating a Safe Space in Fandom
Being a fangirl looks different to each person. In this episode, Moon talks about using her art as a way to connect fangirls together.
I want to just prove to myself that my ideas are valid, because never think you don’t have a valid idea. It might not be successful in the way you hope or anticipate. But there’s different ways to gauge success and that’s exactly what I’ve done. It’s gotten to the point where it’s changed the minds of those around me where they actually are telling me to do more. They’re giving me more ideas.
