This post won't get any notes and I don't fucking care--I CLIMBED MOUNT PADALECKI TODAY.
So Atlanta Comic Con is this weekend and I saw that Jared Padalecki was going, but what's CRAZY is his rates were half what they are at SPN cons so it meant he was now within my price range ($160 for the photo op, $140 for the autograph) so I saved up and me and my friend @batmarg drove up to see him at the GA World Congress Center.
So we did the autograph first. I told him that it means a lot to me that Sam is kind of an outcast and has this anxiety and anger issues, and that I really enjoyed the performance. He was so sweet and gracious and told me I looked pretty, which is so awesome.
I also got to meet Ron Perlman at his autograph table. He's a man of few words, but he made a couple of chuckleworthy jokes and thanked me for coming out to see him, and he gave us each a fist bump! It was a legendary moment, no pun intended. What a guy.
As for the photo op with Jared, that also has a little giggle moment attached to it. I always ask actors or celebrities if a hug is okay--I never want to be disrespectful and do something outside of their comfort zone--and he grins at me and says "I fucking LOVE hugs" and then gathers me up in his arms and SQUISHES ME INTO HIM SO NICE AND TIGHT. Oh, it was PERFECT. See, I'm 5'8'' and that's 3 inches taller than the average American girl, so I kind of have a little bit of a complex where I like guys over six feet tall because I just feel safer when they hug me, and I didn't even ask him to squish me but he did it anyway and I am OVER THE FUCKING MOON ABOUT IT. I love, love, love being squished by tall celebrities, so he really did make my day, month, year, and life with that. I'm so grateful I got to meet him and without having to fly to an SPN con and pay $300-350 for it too. If nothing else, I thank 2024 for letting me have this one tiny little thing in the field of misery that is my life.
Thanks for everything, Moose! It was wonderful meeting you. <3
Real talk, Nolan is a class act. He said that his N. Gin voice was one he loved to do offhand, and mentioned that he’d never seen an N. Gin cosplayer before
It’s October 20th and my fave’s birthday so it’s that day that I write the exact same thing from previous October 20ths. It’s fine…
When I was a kid I had a crush on the mean guy in a bunch of movies and then decades later that mean guy turned out to be one of the best actors on television and that mean character he is best known for is now my favorite person on my favorite show. Usually your childhood crush doesn’t wind up being your favorite actor decades later but here we are and it’s amazing. Plus…I was boy crazy so, honestly, there were options and this one is the only one that stuck, man!
Happy birthday to that guy today, who is always kind and patient and makes every fan feel seen. That’s not the norm and it speaks volumes.
Also, he refrains from ever saying “what is wrong with you?” or “why?” or “settle down already!” I appreciate that.
Enjoy these pictures of him waving his arms around dramatically.
