Inside the Theme: Woodland Fantasy

This month is all about fantasy, from the halls of Hogwarts to the moorlands of Middle Earth to the northern Wall of Westeros. Elves, fairies, dragons, the whole lot, get our imaginations soaring into uncharted waters and worlds that we walk only inside our own minds but are still rich in history, geography, and culture. From urban settings to classic medieval fare, we love it all. Fantasy is a…

~Notice Me Sempi~ My answers for Inside the Theme this month! <3

This month our mind is on our Senpai! Wouldn’t you just love for your favorite fandom senpai to notice you? And when they don’t, don’t you just want to eat your feelings? And sometimes, don’t you want to say “Screw it!” and pal around with your Galentines instead!? Each month we ask 5 hard-hitting questions as we go Inside the Theme. ~IGGPPC Forum & Site

1)Who was your first fictional crush? Who…

1)Who was your first fictional crush? Who is a current fictional crush?

My first fictional crush was Sailor Jupiter/Makoto Kino! Well, it was more of a mix of wanting to BE her too. But yeah, I totally had a Sailor Moon poster with Sailor Jupiter on it next to my bed when I was, like, 10. I would give it goodnight kisses and everything. Wow, why did it take me so long to realize my gayness? Anyway, I guess a current fictional crush would be a tie between Natasha Romanov/Black Widow and Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. I’m actually currently writing a reader-insert/Black Widow fanfic for AO3...I really should update that.

2) You’d love for senpai to notice you… What secret admirer gift do you send in silent hope for some attention?

Well, I guess if I was trying to woo Mako-senpai, I would try to make some kind of homemade baked goodie? Or a potted, flowering plant!

  3) What is your go-to indulgence when you just want to channel your inner Usagi and eat your feelings over that clueless senpai?

Chocolate. Just all the chocolate things. Unless it has almonds or any nuts that aren't peanut butter. Nuts just aren’t my deal.

  4) Feel like sharing an awkward dating anecdote? 

Always let someone know that you are going on a date with them BEFORE you go on the date! I’ve had so many instances where I’m the awkward, clueless person who doesn’t realize they are attempting to be wooed.

5) Never mind senpai! Give us a short galentine’s day poem to celebrate all the amazing ladies you love!

All girls are beautiful, all girls are great

Girls should be able to stay out really late

And not have to worry about creepers or fights

Inside The Theme January 2016

1) Has first contact already happened?

Yup. Have you seen ancient aliens? (Note: watching ancient aliens while taking an art history class & asking your art history teacher about aliens in art is not a good idea. This will lead to annoying the teacher. But it’s very fun for yourself.)

2) What do you think is in area 51?

Government secretes. Not just pertaining to aliens though. I think it’s an…

Inside The Theme: We Want To Believe

This month the club celebrates all things extraterrestrial. Collectively, we’ve wanted to believe ever since we first grasped the idea that we, the inhabitants of Earth, might not be alone in the universe. The possibility of life on other planets has been a subject for scientist, astronomers, all manner of artists and now The Geek Girls Pen Pal Club! Join us as we answer these questions, and be…
