So Catherine wrote this mini-essay on fangirling...
geniunely can't breathe right now
Explain the concept of 'feels' complete with appropriate examples (MHRA referenced and translate accordingly into keysmash).
The concept of 'feels' is a difficult one to explain. Many find it originates from a fangirlish[1] obsession with fictional characters, British actors, or Scandinavians. Under these conditions, feels can best be described as asdklfjhafgdfgh;jdafghadfk and usually result in permanent emotional damage and a rise in the sale of Ben & Jerry's[2]. Feels can arise from a number of different stimuli; for example, death of a beloved character, one character entering into a relationship that is considered an 'unpopular ship', a beloved character undergoing emotional trauma, or Ben Whishaw's face.
In this vein, the facial expressions of those who induce feels, also known as 'flawless individuals' have been known to force people into states of illiteracy, selective mutism, violent hyperventilation and, occasionally, temporary death. Though it is hard to trace the origins of this, some historians believe that instances of feels can be seen in traditional Scottish ballads wherein the buttons of one suffering from intense emotion would spontaneously leap from their clothing[3].
In conclusion, avoidance of feels is advisable, however, if one has experienced feels they are already too deep into the miasma of fandom. From this point there is likely to be no escape, apart from death or militant lesbianism. One could attempt to hide the wifi password, but most fangirls are able hackers. Feels, therefore are inevitable, painful and askljdshdk.
