Hello, just wanted to share that I'm quite a fan of Star Wars. I own a few combat-ready lightsabers (more than I want to admit). I'm also a member of the Rebel Legion, a Lucas-film accredited cosplay group. Seen in this photo is my Imperial Knight costume.

Hi! I'm a fan of the sitcom Friends. It was suggested by my middle school friends. Now, I watch it almost every day and it never fails to put a smile on my face.

Hi!! I’m a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I remember watching the last movie, The Return of the King, on TV and I was so enchanted by it. Since then, I’ve done marathons of the trilogy countless of times (none recently due to school works) and I’ve even collected their action figures (if you find any good Pippin ones please tell me 😂).

Hello, I am a fan of anime since I was young. My parents were fans too so me and my sister got into it because of them. I have cosplayed some characters from Kaichou wa Maid Sama and Fairytail. I recently finished Violet Evergarden and it has been added to my favorite list.

Hello! I’m a fan of the American Horror Story anthology series. My favorites out of the nine seasons so far are Murder House, Coven, and its crossover which is Apocalypse. Whenever I can’t decide on what to watch, I often find myself watching the finale of different seasons. No matter how many times I repeat it, the episodes still leave me aghast.

Hello everyone! Since I was a kid, I've been a massive football fan. It stemmed from the fact that it was the sport me and my friends played in school. I find it interesting how it has such a huge following around the world, as well as how it brings people together— heck, I even did my thesis on it. I also enjoy watching games to get a feel of the different tactics used by managers, opposed to the usual admirations of certain players that most fans do.

I loved reading books when I was younger. Fantasy novels were probably the only reason why I became proficient in English. In my spare time, I still find myself distracted by fics.

I'm a huge basketball fan! Ever since I've rekindled my passion in following the NBA around 3 years ago, I haven't stopped watching videos and formulating my own insights on what's going to happen within a season. The game is such a simple concept that is very easily followed, and one can create a group dedicated to talking about it. From this, one of my closest friend groups started as a Fantasy Basketball group, and it has then evolved into something even deeper.

Hello guys! I would like to share that I became a basketball fan during the late 2000s when I became a fan Kobe Bryant. Ever since then, the game of basketball never cease to amaze me due to how a simple game can become really complicated. From understanding the plays to observing the tendencies of teams and players and used it against them. The sport helped me in making friends and it became my pillar that I lean unto during times of sadness and frustration.

Hi! I’m a diehard football fan. How diehard? Since I was 12 and until this day, I wake up (or rather, stay up hehe) very early in the morning just to watch a football match in real time! (because of our time difference with EU) For me, it’s a different experience to watch a match in real time than just watching the highlights or a replay. What I really love about football is the unpredictability of every game and the anticipation that comes with it. I tend to make analogies on life using football terms and common occurrences as a means to get through. The most general I have is that football is basically how reaching a goal can entail many unsuccessful attempts until it is finally attained, especially through teamwork. And when it’s attained, it’s worth celebrating together!

Hello! I love animation a lot, may it be western cartoons and others, especially anime. I've been watching since I was in elementary and it has been a big part of my life up to now. I'm very well versed with its different genres and it has greatly influenced the other aspects of my life. It got me into art, cosplay and makeup. It also influenced my fashion style which incorporates Harajuku fashion.

I know anime is not for everyone, but, judging others for what they like without even understanding why is not okay.

Anyways, if you want recommendations I have quite a lot! I like talking about this very much, I'm passionate about the shows I love.

Hi, hello! I have this crazy obsession with perfumes. You might find this odd, but I believe that the greatest compliment one can receive from anybody (and by that, I mean ANYBODY) is being told that they smell good/nice/great/all of the adjectives related to these words. My craze for scents influenced me to become more confident in what I wear, and actually, I became more hands-on on my style since I base my scent on what kind of outfit I'll be wearing for the day.

If you have recommendations or need one, let me know! 🤩

Since the start of quarantine/lockdown, I've been watching RuPaul's Drag Race, a show that I had been meaning to watch but never got around to until now. It's become one of my favorite shows now because of how funny and loveable the queens are and because it taught me so much more about the LGBTQ+ community that I didn't already know. I also think it really shows the queer community in a positive and empowering way.

Hello! Currently, my favorite series to stream would be Buzzfeed Unsolved, but, a few months ago I consistently re-watched Crimson Peak. Regarding music, it ranges from BTS to classical pieces.

Anything that amuses me or inspires me to create art, I would willingly consume. According to a friend, my taste in pop culture is "very eccentric but with renaissance undertones" - confusing but somehow makes sense.

Hello! I love the show POSE because it captures the overlapping struggles, joys, and the overall culture of our community. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, this show makes me feel represented and seen. It also made me aware how far we’ve come in terms of fighting for our civil rights and our place in this society. But most of all, I enjoyed it because of the extravagance of the show. It reminded me of myself and my high school friends. Since it was set in the 80s approaching the 90s, most of the songs that were used as part of the soundtrack were by Madonna and Whitney Houston which I really really love.

I have always been following The Big Bang Theory from the first season up to the 12th. What makes it different from all the sitcoms I've liked and watched for a long time is my fascination for science and astronomy. It made a big impact in my teenage years. I love how it's a sitcom about scientists because it's not something you always see on TV.

I religiously watch Modern Family everyday, especially while i eat my meals. It never fails to cheer me up and even though I've already memorized everything that's happened in the series, I just never get tired of it.

I have always lived my life between the pages of books. I find it hard to choose one specific series because it is like making a mother choose who her favorite child is but, The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare is one of my all time favorites. I really do enjoy fantasies specially with a bit of romance. Also, these series mirrors our world today and the social issues that are happening, it just includes some faeries and vampires but it can be very relatable. They also made it into a movie and  TV series although I prefer reading the books.

p.s I recommend this to those who love adventures. You can explore different worlds even by just staying at home ;)

It was hard for me to find just one aspect of pop culture that I love because I have always been such a huge fangirl, so much so, that my mother often scolds me for being too easily obsessed. Tv shows, movies, musicals, books, anime, sports - you name it and I have something I'm absolutely in love with in there. My fandoms range far and wide, but the root of this love for it all could probably be traced back to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

Rick Riordan's books were some of the first novels I ever read and followed religiously. It sparked a love in me for books, history, and all things fantasy; in fact, I would even go so far as to say that it thoroughly shaped who I am as a person. I've reread the series around 15 times by now, and I can safely say that I will never get tired of it.

Hello! I've been following Rupaul's Drag Race ever since its 5th season. I love the show because it gives drag queens the platform to showcase their talents to the world, and it brings attention to the LGBTQ+ community. I also love how the show always casts drag queens with very different backgrounds and personalities because it shows viewers that gay men shouldn't be put inside a box, and that femininity should also be embraced and not shunned. As a member of the community, I appreciate how the show gives visibility to LGBTQ+ people.

Hi! I am not a fan of watching TV series or films. I am more into PC gaming and playstation. However, recently I stumbled upon this Netflix show, The Umbrella Academy. I found it interesting and also kinda timely. It made me see how imagination fuels change in society The themes in the series are many, but one I relate to the most is that the power is within all of us. We do not have to be special or super; we actually have to conquer our own fears and doubts in order to move forward. This is the kind of pop culture I consume-- something empowering and also challenging such as in the playstation games I play with my friends. I like to think out solutions while also having fun. I am picky with the kinds of content I consume because I dislike being kept stagnant or dumbed down by other kinds of popular media that surround me.

Hi!! For a change since I relate to a lot of things in the padlet, I’ll talk about video games. My all time favorite is probably Bioshock Infinite or Undertale (honestly I love a lot so it's still hard to choose), but currently I am addicted to Animal Crossing New Horizons which I think has definitely gained a lot of profit due to quarantine. Back in Katipunan, I’d usually play CS:GO at techtite with my friends or blockmates when we had a big gap between classes. For me, video games are a crucial part of my life because not only do I enjoy them, I also learn a lot from them when it comes to morals, teamwork, and the like. It’s really important to me especially right now because it helps me destress and connect with friends even through simple games on the phone like Among Us or skribbl.io. I also like the aspect that video games brings us together (aside from toxicity of course), and is a fun pastime with family and friends. I grew up with my older brother (24) so he’d let me play on his Game Boy Color (with the multigame cartridge lol!) when we were younger and eventually I got my own DS Lite and we’d share with each other as he had a PSP.

Hello friends!! Before I dont play a lot of video games but since senior high school and with the influence of my friends and classmates, I got addicted to playing video games. The current game I am addicted to is Call of Duty Mobile. My cousins dragged me to play this haha and now I have a clan and we compete on tournaments. In this game I can socialize and take away some stress from acads, but also due to addiction I tend to buy alot of ingame accessories like gun skins and etc. Until now I still play this game and sometimes I play until 5 am hehe.

Recently, I have been hooked on watching sitcoms. Anyway, a few months ago, I started watching more sitcoms after thoroughly enjoying binge watching Brooklyn 99's latest season. I asked some of my friends for suggestions on what to watch next and they suggested I watch The Good Place and OH DIP, I loved it so much. Probably my favorite series so far. It tackles a lot of heavy topics but they put it so lightly and entertainingly. I love how they discuss a diverse set of topics and how the characters are all different in their own way. For me, it was also somewhat of a reminder especially since I was having a hard time when I watched it. Overall, I just want to say that the Good Place has everything I want and I love it so much

I recently checked my top artists on Spotify for the duration of my account being created and this is what I will share with you. I love listening to different genres of music depending on my mood or what I want to feel. Besides this, I also like watching Korean variety programs like Running Man because the games they play are very creatively made (from the mechanics to the props!) and The Return of Superman because I love cute babies! Also, Korean idols have been doing these reality concepts and post them on YouTube which I also enjoy watching.

When I was a kid, I used to think that I’d grow up to be the kind of girl who is fashionable, athletic, and sociable. To the despair of my parents, things did not turn out that way. What happened was that the older I got, the geekier I became. Fantasy novel series became my life, at age 12 (The Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare; Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns of Roses by Sarah J. Maas). Instead of watching shows a normal 16 year old girl would watch, I avidly turned to cartoons (Avatar: The Last Airbender; Voltron Legendary Defender) and anime (Fruits Basket; Kimetsu no Yaiba). I may not have grown up the way I thought I would, but at least I grew up following my heart.

Hello! I'm also a Football fan like the others. My favorite team is Real Madrid and my favorite player is Sergio Ramos. I grew up playing football instead of basketball because I think basketball is really common and I think playing football will make me unique among my friends. I fell in love with the sport ever since I was a kid. I have represented the country on the international stage a few times. Now I focus on defending the UAAP crown for the school. Football is the reason why I wake up at 3 in the morning to watch my favorite team or to train.

Hi! I'm in a lot of fandoms because I get obsessed quickly. I'm a fan of the tv sitcom, Seinfeld. When I was in 7th grade, my aunt introduced me to this show. She and her husband are avid fans. They had the DVD set of the first four seasons and we watched it together with the whole family. My sister and I loved it. We begged our dad to buy the DVD sets for seasons 5-9. After watching all of the episodes, we would still rewatch it. We watched the episodes with commentaries from the actors, directors and writers. We basically memorised the lines in the show. This show holds a special place in my heart because it strengthened the bond I had with my sister and my family, specifically my aunt and uncle. They don't have any kids and they treat my sister and I as their own children.
