✌Finally Fessing Up✌

        Every once in a while, fangirling can go extremely wrong. Not the terribly tragic wrong, but the super hilarious crazy wrong that you'll laugh about when you're older. But sometimes, you can't wait until you're older to find something so funny you laugh until you cry. And that's where these confessions come in! From manga mishaps to crazy cosplay, enjoy this batch of fangirl confessions.

        Remember, if you want to send in a few of your own, just PM at @FandomzUnite, with your confession and include whether you want it to be anonymous or with your username. Now, let's hand it to this month's stars!

@ChidoriQueen: Since I'm Chinese and currently learning the language, I like to read the Chinese translated version of manga to improve my language skills (for example, I own the entire set of Fullmetal Alchemist in Chinese). One day, I was looking on an online catalogue and saw a nice version of the Durarara!! manga, so I promptly ordered it, eagerly awaiting its arrival. However, when I received it, it turned out to be a pile of sexually explicit Shizaya doujinshi, which any sane person would not want within a ten mile radius of their parents. Me, being the sensible person I am, basically dumped the doujins into the hands of tumblr user hugh straightboymamoru, being that he, at the time, unironically liked the ship. I can confirm that said doujins currently reside in an obscure corner of his bedroom, where no prying eyes will gaze into its horrifying contents and have their retinas permanently sheared off. 

@canada-: Alright, so here is my Anime Confession. You may not believe it, but it was real and it happened and-- o-m-gee, just read. xD So I’m on the bus ride home from school that’s near my city’s convention center. I'm still not even sure, but there may have been a ComiCon there or something, but I hadn't heard anything like it or I would have gone. From the doors of the mall come ten people dressed perfectly as the Akatsuki: costume, makeup, and even their fricking personas! By that point, I'm dying on the inside. I try to take another look and when I do, I realize that they were looking my way. By body goes stiff and it's only a moment later when I see the crosswalk go white, signalling the cars to stop. Oh, they stop alright. The person acting as Pain jumps out in front of me, trying not to laugh his ass off, and shouts, "Almighty push!" I'm lying on the ground, spazzing out at how hilarious the whole thing was. The person dressed as Konan scolds him for standing in front of the car - the light had turned yellow - while the person dressed as Hidan is practically pleading for him to get hit by the car. Kakuzu calls him an idiot, Deidara points out that the money monger would just get the insurance money, and they start arguing. The one dressed as Sasori tells them to shut up or he'll turn them into puppets, and "Tobi" is trying to "talk him out of it". Zetsu is on the other side of the road and pretending to change the conversation between White and Black with their voices. And Itachi and Kisame are just watching. They are just watching.

        They were acting spot on with their roles and I hadn't believed it was possible because everyone in Hamilton is half-assed. But it was perfect; "Kisame" even had Samehada - he said he made it himself instead of buying it - and "Itachi" those Sharingan contacts. "Konan" had dyed her hair purple a little while ago and went with it. "Pain" simply added to the piercings he already had. "Tobi" made the mask from paper mache, and "Zetsu"'s trap thingies (I forget what they're called, omfg). "Kakuzu" had made the Akatsuki uniforms by hand - it took him three months to prepare them - and "Hidan" gathered all the accessories necessary to make their appearance.I went home -escorted to the Upper Wellington bus by the "Akatsuki" - and told my mom. She called said I was "(swear word) - up".I guess we all have a little dedication, don't we?

These were so funny! I literally laughed for five minutes straight. How hard will you laugh?
