OKAY WELL it was like. 2012 or something and I was seeing a play (for the second time) that happened to star one of Mr. Urban's well-known co-stars and friends. I was very happy there was an empty seat beside me, until a few minutes into the show, someone came in and sat in it. He smelled unbelievably good, but I didn't pay any attention until something happened onstage and he, very quietly, laughed.

At this point you will note that I am a person entirely divorced from sanity, because that small sound made me go rigid like a pointer in a cartoon and I just knew

I FORCED myself to Speak to him at intermission because, like, this was my dream. Any cast member of lotr was as a god to me. He clearly had no idea what I, an awkward young goth woman, was going to say to him, a hot man alone at a stage play, but when I said I was a fan he brightened up immediately. We talked about the play ("came to see one of my mates" I KNOW, KARL) and also about New Zealand (his home, my favorite place I'd ever visited), and passed a very pleasant 20 minutes. He complemented one of my tattoos, and we talked about that a bit. I cannot stress enough how kind he was about being essentially cornered by a fan at a play, and how normal and chill and nice it was.

I bid him a very rushed and embarrassed goodbye after curtain call and he went "maybe I'll see you at comic-con" which was very kind but entirely unlikely given the volume of people there.

I had one too many teas today a few hours too late in the day… so instead of sleeping I made these Nirvana in Fire gifs from a scene in Ep 1
