Oh boy. The deer is teal with this one. Some of it's things a lot of you've heard before, but I tried to mention things I ( Read more... ) -
Fandom Snowflake Challenge #1
In your own space, introduce yourself! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.I don't talk too much about myself in public spaces - I could've flocked this, but then I wouldn't have been able to share it with other Snowflake participants, and that defeats the whole purpose!

The Manic Pixie Dream Friend
ETA: After I posted this, I realized that "manic" has bad implications in reference to actual mental health issues. Please note that I am ONLY referring to the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope, and not implying anyone is "manic." I hope that makes sense.
