Q. Who would be your top 3 dinner party guests, dead or alive?

Vico said the first name that came up for them was Aubrey Plaza as they recently watched Agatha All Along. Nathan asked if she’s a celeb crush for Vico who said yes 100%, she’s so funny and witty and smart. Vico said they recently watched a movie that Aubrey wrote, produced and acted in called My Old Ass and was gushing over an emotional scene where she has just one perfect tear and Vico said they were watching it like ugh, fuck you, you are so beautiful. Nathan then had to clarify whether the name of the movie was My Old Ass or Mild Ass as he couldn’t quite tell.

Vico’s second choice was a Puerto Rican poet called Julia de Burgos who they find incredibly inspiring, and said that there was a lot of speculation that she was sapphic, although of course there’s the people going with the ‘they were roommates!’ version of events as well.

Their third choice was Janelle Monae, and Nathan said that sounded like a perfect combination, then was like, a dream blunt rotation, then claimed not to have any idea what that meant.

Nathan said going back to an answer he’d given the day before, he loved Ella Fitzgerald and is fascinated by her life, so he’d want to have dinner with her even though he thinks she’d probably find him super annoying as he’s such a huge fan.

Then he asked the audience if anyone knew who Rik Mayall was, and was surprised that loads of people cheered because he forgot for a minute that he was in the UK. Vico was like, well I have no idea who that is, and Nathan said Rik was his greatest comedy icon and inspiration, and that he grew up obsessed with The Young Ones and Bottom which he said he thinks is pretty obvious in his work. He said Rik was one of the very few celebrity deaths that he really felt properly sad about, along with Victoria Wood. So he said he’d want to invite both of them, and maybe throw Tina Fey in as well.

Vico said that was a good combo, and Nathan was like, Ella Fitzgerald would probably just be sat there thinking what is happening?? but those would be his choices.

... i don't even know where to start - the wonderful Jace took so many incredible photos, I can't share them all (and yes, I did ask permission).

Maybe start at the beginning, huh?!

And these are only a handful of the incredible shots Jace took - go and check out their insta - so much more gorgeousness to look at!!!

... my heart is overflowing with joy and pride and the most happiness I've had in a while. So for now, just pics, words will come once they come - right now only EMOTIONS! Massive and HUGE and overwhelming. Very blessed, very happy, very very tired so yeah, have some pics!

My brain and my heart are still VERY FIRMLY in a hotel in Gatwick airport, basking in the most insane and most wonderful memories ever made! As always, there will be a write-up, this one will be MADNESS (because this time around I have VIDEO from all the panels (THANK YOU @siren-events-uk for that wonderful option!)) and the THINGS that happened away from the panels are so crazy, they'll be stuck with me forever!

As of now: pics! Enjoy!

(and yes, that DJ hug pic IS indeed signed as well but it feels too freaking personal to share right now *shrugs* it's weird, it's probably not even that deep or anything but to me it's special so I'll keep it to myself for a while!)

Im still flying so fucking high, you won't believe it! These people and this fandom are fucking outstanding - there's nothing else in the world that comes even CLOSE to what just happened this weekend!!!

I am so full of love for every single person at this con, and I would do it all again in a fucking heartbeat! Last November was already great but this?
