I got a solo picture with charlie yesterday, and one with NM&P this morning. Both experiences were absolutely Wild. The photos themselves were really quick in and out things, but the line itself - and this totally could only be me lol - but I was so excited I was shaking before and after.

I went as Elektra's Daredevil cosplay for his picture, and was very quickly rendered speechless by compliments from both the camera woman and charlie (he said i looked amazing!! and that he loved the costume!!) and suddenly didn't know how to speak so I did fumble my pose request LMAO but at the end of the day he put his arm around my shoulder hskahds 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

And i actually went to C2E2 a few months ago and met Elden there, and it was so crazy because he recognized me when I went up for the group photo! So that was a nice little surprise that had me feeling amazing. Deborah gave me a hug before the picture, and I honestly might’ve been somewhere else when that camera flashed lol

there was a born again panel on Saturday, which was SO fun to attend (i think the panels get posted to youtube in a few days to watch later!) and I'd been in line to ask a question (i study psychology and trauma for fun. as a hobby. as one does. for character writing ofc! and i had a beautiful question i wanted to ask about character flaws) but I had Zero luck bc the panel ended when I was just a few people away in the line lmao. Deborah was so eloquent, Wilson was unhinged (never get that man media training pls) and Charlie was desperately trying to not accidently flash the audience LMFAO his shorts. Were SO short. Their 5 inch inseam and that chair were Not Working Together

I did autographs today, and genuinely. I think it might have been some of the biggest highlights of my life. I'm not sure what could beat how absolutely lovely and amazing and genuine these people are, and i can try to describe in words how incredible they were talking to (and believe me when I say, be glad I have my thoughts put together now bc a few hours ago, I was a MESS)

I drew fanart for charlie, wilson, and deborah to both sign and printed a copy to give. I was. Devastated. when somebody spilled their drink over the art I made for deborah and I didn't have the time to leave the con and print another copy so I had to improvise for her. But she was so sweet and wonderful once I got to actually talk with her. Deborah has been a huge storytelling influence on me since I found Relics & Rarities, and when I started to express that, she actually stood up to block the exit so we could keep talking and the handlers wouldn't usher me off and I was like omg 🥹 we chatted a bit about d&d and god of war and she hugged me so many more times before taking another picture

Wilson was so full of energy and you could just tell he was happy to be there. A family in front of me were speaking Spanish in line before getting to him, and when it was their turn he immediately Also started speaking Spanish and held the whole conversation that way which was amazing. I could see the way this kids face lit up.

When I went up, he greeted me by name (on a sticky note on my art!) and while he was signing, we talked about Dex and his portrayal and the differences between the character from the comics to the show, and I made a joke about wanting to dissect Dex like a lab experiment. And then I made an offhand comment about how I was glad to get the art done before getting there (i drew it on a whim at 7am after waking up and having a vision) and it was incredibly validating to how I perceive my own art skill when his jaw dropped and he complimented it lol. And he got so excited when I asked if he wanted a copy to keep and basically demanded I hand it over if I had one, and basically giggled when he flipped it over to see the note I left on the back!! And I'm noticing its a trend with this cast to piss off their handlers bc then wilson asked if I wanted a few selfies without me having to pay for them and he ran around the table so fast to me there actually was no stopping him

and charlie was so wonderful. absolutely incredible. devestatingly handsome. 3/3 for the autographs and getting recognized from the day before. He was basically wearing the same goofy dad fit and it was so silly to me, but I genuinely felt my heart in my throat when I got up to him and his full attention was on me. It was actually INSANE, how like fully focused he gets with each person he meets, how this man doesn't burn out from the intense social interaction I'll never know. But he started the conversation, and asked how I was doing and if I was having a good time, and if the pictures we took earlier came out good. Then he was baffled when he asked if I was local or traveled, and he seemingly thought he wasn't worth it to make as far of a trip that I did which is a Wild thing to say

And doing my hardest to not have my voice shake lol, I told him how I've been a fan of his since watching Stardust, and how much Daredevil and him caring so much about Matt and both shows mean to me personally, and how much it and him helped me find my creative spark again over the years after a rough patch. And that prompted him to ask if I drew the art he signed and when I said yes it was basically the same reaction as wilson and he couldn't believe it lmao and he asked so gently if he could write more on it after he signed and I was like. Ofc?? And he left a little note of how beautiful it was. And then the cherry on top- also incidentally the moment in which I think I died for a bit- was when he grabbed my hand and told me that if my writing was anywhere near as good as my art (which is. Embarassinly ironic) then he was sure I'd get into the creative fields I want to go into and i almost started tearing up right then and there. And he took his copy from me so carefully and tucked it into his bag, and istg that man is actually going to kill me one day.

(charlie was hairless btw. face, arms and what else i could see completely smooth 😔 barely even a five o clock shadow)

I don't think anyone or anything could have prepared me for eye contact as long as he kept it, or what he said to me or even his genuine earnestness. I was broken down, melted, and rebuilt in those five/six-ish minutes I had with him, in awe and trying not to freak out and trying not to get distracted. a million/10 experience. I will be dreaming of it for the forseeable future, and I can still feel how he held my hand hdkahdkshksj

also, the art in question bc im already sharing :) would take pictures of the signed copies but they have my full name lol
