In case you didn't know, Sleepy Hollow actor Orlando Jones is a huge fangirl when it comes to his FOX supernatural drama and to celebrate tonight's finale he's teaching you how to be a fangirl too.
Jones' suggestions are below, and if it doesn't become quickly apparent, this man can speak Tumblr fluently.
Which makes sense seeing as he has his own Tumblr where he regularly reblogs Sleepy Hollow fan art, particularly ones of an Ichabod/Abbie variety.
You can check out Professor Jones' lesson on how to be your best fangirl below.1. Pick a fandom (or many) and get to know the other people who are involved (and who will either end up being your close friends or mortal enemies depending on who you ship).2. Learn how to speak Fandomese. (Can I Ship It, Yes You Can.)
3. Show us the flair: Write fan fiction, make fan art, create any transformative works inspired by your passion/obsession.
4. Troll It Likes It's Hot: Be critical, discuss the things that are wrong with the program you love to the point of getting on everyone's nerves.
5. Be Respectful/Don't Tag Your Hate: You can have opinions just don't be a dick to others when sharing them.
6. So. Much. Feels: Get overly emotional about your ships, how to make them canon and why the creators are problematic and generally get swept up in the majesty of the story world you've embraced.
7. Protect the celebs and OTPs you love from any outside intrusion by "people who don't understand what the show is really about."
8. Always have snacks (especially popcorn) at the ready.
9. Attend any conventions where your fandom is representing and commence maximum squees.
10. Don't take anything personally in fandom because it's NOT. THAT. SERIOUS. (But it is A LOT of fun.)
