Just me rambling about anything and everything. From Anime to Cosplay, to just about anything.
My name is Abi (or SerenaTheMoonPony online) and welcome to my blog; Fangirling with Abi!
Hey guys!
So, today I'm going to talk about the anime convention I went to this last summer; Animaritime 2014. I wanted to write this post like...seven months ago, but things got in the way and I just forgot about it.
I had a lot of fun during that weekend; I even met a few bronies that I actually still keep in touch with today. I even dressed as Rainbow Dash during the convention. So, if ever any of you guys are in the maritimes in late June; you should totally try to make it to Animaritime! Here are some pictures that I took during that weekend.
This is what I was wearing Saturday and Sunday during the Con :D
Like I said, met a lot of bronies during that weekend, and I couldn't help taking pictures of them, so sorry for the lack of non-pony related cosplay pictures. Anyway, that's all for now guys, so until next time!

Hey Guys, I know I said the next post on here would be about Animaritime and that was like...seven months ago? Yeah, I forgot. Sorry :) (By the way, Happy late New Year/Holdays guys, hope yours were as awesome as mine)
Anyway, today I wanted to talk about Leelah Alcorn. Now, for those of you who may not know, Leelah was a 17 year-old transgender who committed suicide on December 28th. Now, this story really struck me when I first heard of it. Leelah posted a suicide note on Tumblr in which I read a few times, and it actually brought me close to tears. Now, this struck me because I myself am...I don't want to say 'bi-curious', but that's the only word I can really think of to describe my sexuality. (That or Pansexual...) anyway back to my point here; so because of my part in the LGBTQ community, it hurt me to think that this girl killed herself because her parents weren't okay with her being a girl and not the boy they had when she was born. So, because of Leelah's death, me and my friends did a day of silence (or at least we tried to) in her honor. We also wrote 'Rest in Power' on our wrists. Leelah was indeed an inspiration to many people-myself included who dedicated fan art to her, songs even. I myself wrote a poem and dedicated to her on Wattpad. (I'll add the link below for those of you who might be interested in reading it) It's tragic that Leelah had to end her life for people to try and change the way the LGBTQ community are treated. So, I guess the moral here is, if you are gay, lesbian, bi-whatever sexuality you may have- and are feeling suicidal or afraid to come out or are having issues with your loved ones supporting you, just know you are not alone and there is always someone to talk to! (If any of you want to talk to me about this kinda stuff, I don't mind at all. you can email me facebook me, Tweet me, talk to me on Tumblr-whatever floats your boat- I'm willing to listen and try to help you as much as I can <3 )
So that's really all I had to say in this post, so I will leave links to all them accounts I have as well as the poem I mentioned below all this so please feel free to add me or message me about literally anything. I won't bite. Promise (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ
OH! I forgot to mention, I made a little tribute video for Leelah. It's not much, but if you guys want to see it, it's just below this sentence. :)
So, today, I want to talk about the Sailor Moon re-boot. I was so thrilled to hear that Viz would be re-dubbing and re-mastering all 200 episodes of the original Sailor Moon anime. (Yes, that includes stars S as well as the films) not to mention they said they were planning on releasing this re-mastered anime sometime In late 2014 and that it will be on DVD, Blu-Ray as well as digital. I, for one am quite excited to get my hands on this. And for you moonies who are reading this, apparently they're gonna do some changes to the original English dub (I.E: sailor Neptune and sailor Uranus are gonna be portrayed more as lovers as opposed to the original where they were cousins) but anyway, just wanted to share with you all the joy and excitement I feel about this.
So, this is AbiTheOtakuGirl making an exit!
Here's a pic of Luna and Artemis simply because :)
AbiTheOtakuGirl here and today I want to talk about "bronies".
In case you didn't know, a "brony" is a fan of "my little pony" who isn't in the target audience. I, for one, am willing to admit that I am a brony and I am not ashamed to say it! I like My Little Pony and there is nothing wrong with that! See, at first, I was really really scared to tell anyone that I am a brony because of all the horror stories I've heard about people being bullied and stuff because of it and I was afraid of what my friends were gonna say as well as my family. But once I told them, I realized there was nothing to fear.
So, moral of the story: if you have something that you wish to share with your friends/family, (and it can be anything- sexuality, that your into a certain fandom, that your in a new relationship, ANYTHING really) go ahead and tell them. The worst that can happen is that they don't approve. But then again, it's not up to them to decide for you on this kind of stuff. If you feel as if you aren't ready to talk with them, they do so when you are ready.
I don't know if I told you guys or not, but I ordered an Organization XIII Cosplay a few weeks ago and it just came in Friday night!! I am so happy and quite satisfied. I ordered it from HelloCosplay. Now I can't wait to get onto styling my wig and making the lexicon for my Zexion Cosplay for when I go to Animaritime this summer!!
Anyways, here are some pics of the Cosplay itself:
Anyways, that's all I really had to say so this is AbiTheOtakuGirl making an exit!!

I had ordered an organization XIII coat from hellocosplay.com and i just got it today!! I am so excited!! I will have pics soon...I promise! Anyways, not much else to say so this is AbiTheOtakuGirl making an exit!
