Seriously Geeky Sundays: Geek Pride

September 20, 2020September 20, 2020by Meg // A Geeky Gal6 Comments

Heather at Just Geeking By has created wonderful and unique prompts for Sundays! There are a few other sites out there who post weekly prompts, but I have to say Heather’s are by far some of the most unique and imaginative that I’ve read. I’m really excited to make Seriously Geeky Sundays a staple here on the blog! See the prompts here!

I am playing catch up currently so these are past prompts that I wanted to participate in. This prompt is about Geek Pride. Heather asked “Did you guys know that there’s a Geek Pride Day? I didn’t until last year. It originally started in Spain in 2006 before spreading around the Internet to become an annual celebration of all things geeky. It’s tomorrow [May 25th], and it is the inspiration for this weeks theme. “

I’m super excited to be the first host of Seriously Geek Sundays! Heather has graciously let me pick an August topic, and if you read the title, you already know it’s ANIMATION! Heather says that there are so many different types of animation out there now and each of us have our own favorites and memories associated to them. This week we’re picking your brain about the animated world.

Five Fandom Friday

5FF: K-Pop & K-Drama Webtoon Comics

June 26, 2020June 4, 2020by Meg // A Geeky Gal2 Comments

Sartorial Geek recently partnered up with The Nerdy Girlie and Super Space Chick to bring back 5 Fandom Friday! You can see all the prompts for 2020 here! If you’re participating in The Nerdy Girlie’s 5 Fandom Friday, you may have noticed a few of us have made some DLC’s (downloadable content) to complement the already lengthy blog prompt list courtesy of The Nerdy Girlie and Super Space Chick. You can check out my first DLC for 5 Fandom Friday at the GG Pack (the Geeky Gal Pack) and my second DLC here at GG2 Pack!

Today’s 5FF isn’t listed on the latest GG Packs or on the original list, but I felt like it would fit in well with 5 Fandom Friday and this month’s theme anyway! I’ve gushed about some of my favorite freaky webtoons as well as some of my overall favorites so far. This special edition of 5FF is all about K-Pop, K-Drama, and Korean inspired comics!

K-Confessions, Mental Health in the Geek Community

10 Healing BTS Song Lyrics

June 24, 2020June 9, 2020by Meg // A Geeky Gal9 Comments

Most K-Pop isn’t open about mental health, mental illness, or personal struggles, and that’s where BTS is different. One of the biggest reasons I love BTS is their incredible lyrics that touch on aspects of mental health and mental illness. Their music videos speak volumes even with a language barrier. Their canon Webtoon, The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt.0: Save Me, dives into the mental health of their alter egos as well and lends a hand to their narrative of healing, loving yourself, and moving forward.

Today I wanted to share some of my favorite lyrics from BTS’s songs that have been healing for me. Whether I was deep in depression on these days or just needing a little reminder that I’m going to be okay, BTS was able to touch my heart, and I hope that some of these songs and lyrics can help you as well.

Top 10 Most Streamed BTS Songs

June 17, 2020June 9, 2020by Meg // A Geeky Gal17 Comments

While I’m still really sad about not being able to attend BTS’s concert due to COVID19, I thought today would be a good time to share ten of my most streamed BTS songs! I gathered these from Spotify and Spotify.me (most known for giving a year-end review of your streamed music for 2019). I don’t really have a way of putting these in a true top 10 order so consider that these BTS songs are in no particular order.
