Ovig

Ovig is a term that has emerged in informal online communities, particularly within certain subcultures and fandoms. It refers to the act of enthusiastically supporting or admiring a fictional character or pairing. This support often manifests as creating fan art, writing fan fiction, engaging in discussions, or otherwise expressing strong positive feelings towards the subject of their affection. The term is derived from the word "ove," a combination of "obsession" and "devotion," and is often used playfully or in self-aware contexts.

The intensity of ovig can vary greatly among individuals. Some may simply enjoy a character's development or a relationship's potential, while others may dedicate significant time and resources to expressing their ovig. It is generally considered a harmless and creative outlet for fans to engage with media they enjoy. While the term itself is not widely recognized outside of specific online circles, the underlying concept of passionate fan engagement is a long-standing phenomenon in popular culture. Ovig is a modern iteration of this, colored by internet slang and community dynamics.
