Oh, thank you for this explanation, I'm a Tumblr regular (these days, not even an LJ regualr, sigh) but I happened to see 'feels' and was wondering whether it was understood in fannish speak as more than just an abbreviation of feelings...and it is :D

As a fan, I perfectly understand where 'feels' comes from. Fandom emotions are somewhat different from Real Life emotions.Also,l I love your gifs :)

thanks!
