-7 rather large knives. Not butterknives. Legit knives???? -A cleaver?????????????? -A fuck ton of broken glass. Its just littered everywhere. -a jacket covered with what I hope is fake blood -a holy but cursed grail of horrid 2014 art and writing, which were mostly warriors fan art, warriors ocs, and warriors fan fiction. And a drawing of the Minnesota police department outfit? I don’t even live in Minnesota -something written entirely in Japanese. Song lyrics?? ??? -Pokemon cards. Millions of them. -A glass frog that somehow is in pristine condition despite being covered in a foot of garbage -a tiny plastic monkey the size of my thumbnail I love him I named him jim -A hamper full of Gatorade bottles. -MY GLASSES I LOST AMEN -An xacto blade -Laminated pictures of poorly drawn crayon coloured furries (???) -a folded up map of south america covered in what is definitely not my handwriting. -that fucking creepypasta proxy symbol thing drawn in sharpie everywhere wh -a book handmade with cardboard, string, and notebook paper. The only contents were drawings of dragons. No words written anywhere. -British pence?????? I’ve never even left Texas why is???? -Some sort of currency with what looks like Hebrew written on it with weird curvy edges??? -a penny with a heart carved into it. I quite liked that penny. -DAVE STRIDER -a cricket. Like a feeder cricket. A live one. My dog ate it soon after he was freed -flowers and leaves. Just dried flowers and leaves -A pine cone. -a giant 3d minion puzzle which I immediately threw away because I’m like 89% sure it was cursed -a mysterious sticky substance -a pentagram. That’s concerning.

So I get to the autograph line with Luka aka @mustlovelance like 30mins before Jeremy’s first signing session and there’s no one there, right? We check the schedule because wtf we thought this would be harder to accomplish, but by that point a few other Voltron cosplayers show up and end up being #first just by nature of a staff member approaching and asking everyone to begin a line. We crack jokes together, kill some time, talk about cosplay and All Things Voltron because what else are you gonna do on line to meet people because of Voltron??? Jeremy shows up around five minutes into what was supposed to be his signing time, everyone collectively panics a little and gets that Starstruck Fan look on their face til he…… runs off to the bathroom which honestly??? What a Lance move, A+ my dude. 

He reappears, first few people go through the line and snap some photos with him. He’s incredibly personable and patient, double-checking name spellings and making sure everyone’s happy. Then it’s Luka’s turn, and she presents him with her Voltron board game gift which went over super well, his staffers even thought it was cool and asked for photos of the two of them with it. 

So then it’s my turn.

I ask him to sign my bayard [I know, I know, Red not Blue but SHUSH], to which he says I gotta get Steven to sign it next (boy you think I won’t…..). I may or may not have cracked a joke about Steven being the true cryptid. 

So then I get to ask him for a photo. Initially, I was worried my planned request wouldn’t be feasible and it’d just be an over-the-table selfie situation, but he was totally cool with stepping out and doing full body shots with people alongside his table setup. I expected him to be a little confused, or even to flat out turn me down since everyone had just done casual selfies or quick smiling shots until me, but I went ahead and asked anyway. The conversation went like so:

me: Okay, so uh, bit of a special request for the photo? Jeremy: Whatcha got. me: Can we have a bonding moment? Jeremy: -squints suspiciously- ….Explain??? me: I’m not gonna make you get on the floor but can I like. cradle you in my arms and dip you sort of….? Jeremy: OH yeah yeah okay— -goes to put his arm around my shoulders- wait no. I got a better idea okay I’m gonna jump— me: I’m sorry you’re what— Jeremy: —on three yeah i’m gonna jump okay— me: —are you serious oh my— Jeremy: Yeah yep totally are you gonna catch me? you gotta catch me okay ready and GO— me: —OH MY GOD YOU’RE SERIOUS UH OKAY OKAY YEAH SLDKAGJAS

Cue this disaster where I almost dropped him because I was so surprised and missed his outside leg

And then I Got My Shit Together and decided I would’ve let myself hit the ground and die before I let him fall

Bonding Moment™ achieved, photographic proof Obtained✓
