panel things!

coming into the series as a newbie and into the fandom was extraordinary and insane, changed his life

he finds himself in situations now that leave him overwhelmed

when asked about the physicality of her performance, joe joked grace broke her arms for real as chrissy

joe wasnt given any homework from the duffers for his part, said he maybe pulled some 80s inspo from the breakfast club

he doesnt play dnd, only played it once because he had to for the netflix thing and had to pretend to know what he was doing

joe doesn't know what animal crossing is

he hasnt really played guitar since the show

doesnt have much time for hobbies, said he still cooks

grace said she binge watches indian matchmaking on netflix and joe joked that he was going to watch that too now

he said a lot has changed for him but at the same time not much has changed at all, is glad he gets to travel and work more

joked he was furious when he found out eddie was gonna die

grace said she liked dying because she'd never done it before, then gave joe a look (bc he fucking dies in everything)

said the kas theory sounds amazing and that he doesnt know if its gonna happen

when asked if he could play any person in history, who would he pick, he let the audience decide because he didnt know - they went with RDJ or Heath Ledger

if he could be a magician in a movie, he'd be david blaine

he said it’s moving to hear how these characters have changed peoples lives

if joe could talk to his future self, he'd ask how it's all going

if joe could talk to his 16 year-old self, he'd tell him to go to bed and do his homework

in the ST5 scripts, it was always master of puppets (never another song), like his death, no discussion

joe talked about hanging out with his cast-members and mason coming up with fun things to do, like going to the aquarium together

joe was asked 'american or european dr pepper' and he said ?? there's a difference?

joe met andy serkis and had sushi with him, said he’s great, no big deal

grace said joe would be a great paul newman - joe said, no he wouldnt

he kept rubbing the mic on his mouth

joe's not a starwars nerd

but he met darth vader and thought that was cool

first piece of media that inspired joe is disney's animated alice in wonderland, said he loved that film when he was younger

(xoxo to @jo-harrington once more who fed me live updates all throughout the full panel!)

alright friends

i’ve slammed back two margaritas, had some tacos, & feel mentally stable enough to talk about the con so let’s get into it

*long ass rambling under the cut

so this entire con was extremely chaotic. i’ve only been to one con before, and it was a horror con last year, and that one was an absolute shitshow. this one was significantly better, but still a hot mess. emphasis on the hot. it’s texas y’all, and it’s summer, so ya girl was sweating all day (my mood is also directly affected by the heat 🙃)

it was really hard to tell where everything was supposed to be happening, and we had to ask for directions several times

the first op we got was with hayden, and that was a MESS. they were so behind schedule with his pictures (our time was at 2pm and we didn’t even get to him until like 3:45pm) so i didn’t get to go to the daredevil born again panel. i was also super stressed and on the verge of having a panic attack that i was gonna be late for my op with charlie and jon bc that was at 5pm

luckily, we made it. ✨ hayden was so incredibly sweet, and really fucking tall, and has one of the most soothing and mesmerizing voices ever. he made direct eye contact and said hello, thanked us for coming when we left, and was smiling the entire time. he was so so so lovely

now charlie & jon’s op was super on time. their people weren’t playing any games. unfortunately though, we got put in the wrong line which fucked us over when it came time to take the picture, bc we ended up getting super rushed through it

as soon as we stepped into the booth, charlie told me to go to jon, to which i was like 🫡 yes sir. now i had told my partner that i wanted to stand in between charlie and jon (i wanted my main character moment, & he was cool with that) but since things were rushed, charlie directed him to stand next to me and then charlie stood by him. so unfortunately, i didn’t really get to interact with charlie at all, which did break my heart, not gonna lie to y’all

but that honestly was not his fault at all. the con was super packed, and i think they oversold tickets, so he was doing his best to help move things along as quickly as possible while still making sure everyone had a good experience

also i can’t even imagine the pressure they are under meeting so many people in one day, and they were probably overwhemled and exhausted themselves, but you’d never know it bc they were both so happy and excited

but, charlie did smile at me, and his smile is so much more blinding in person. i can’t confirm what he smells like, but i can confirm that he was so incredibly sweet, is way more handsome in person, is so fucking british it’s comical (experiencing that accent in person was 🫠), and i could tell he was genuinely so excited and happy to be there

now onto jonny boy. see i thought when charlie smiled at me, my soul left my body. but nope, there was still more soul to lose. jon called me mama (his exact words were, “c’mon over here mama”) and i’ll never fucking recover. i think he could tell i was overwhelmed, bc he put his arm around me, looked me right in the eye, smiled so sweetly and asked me how i was doing, to which i smiled like an idiot and said this was the best day of my life. i asked him how he was doing and he laughed (he fucking laughed y’all) and said he was doing good. he also smelled SO GOOD (exactly like what I thought he would smell like: earthy with some spice). he was so gentle and sweet. also can confirm he says y’all

the picture happened so fast, it literally felt like a split second. jon gave me a little pat on my back and smiled again and told me to have a good day, and charlie smiled at me again and said thanks for coming

i was incredibly emotionally overwhelmed when we went to pick up our picture. i was already super overstimulated, but there was also this disappointment gnawing at the pit of my stomach bc everything happened so fast, and i didn’t get a chance to say how i wanted my picture. then when i got my picture, i felt even worse bc i feel like i look so uncomfortable and frazzled

i didn’t get to take many pictures during the con at all (i think I only took 3) so i apologize for not really having more to post for y’all. the whole thing was just far more overwhelming than i anticipated

i am so sweaty and overheated, my feet are killing me, and i’m trying not to cry. i know this all sounds dramatic (i am a drama queen) but i’m trying to focus on the positives of today. i know they say don’t meet your heroes, but if your heroes are one of these three guys, definitely meet them. you won’t regret it. they are just as fucking wondeful as we think they are, if not more

i got to meet three of my favorite people in the whole world. i got to hug hayden. i got a blinding, beautiful smile from charlie. and i got an incredibly sweet interaction with jon. i may not like how i look in these pictures, but i’ll get over myself when my emotions settle, and every time i look at them in the future i’ll remember today was one of the best days of my entire life bc i met my boys 🥹

also i feel really special that jon actually smiled in this picture (he’s like straight up cheesing) bc homeboy never smiles (which, same. that’s why mine is so fucking awkward)

if you’re still reading this rant, i appreciate you listening to me ramble. thank you for being an incredible friend <3

and if you’ve been wondering what the tiny evil little demon behind the screen looks like, here ya go :)

psa i am not as tall as these pictures make me look. it’s the angle, & i am wearing boots :) ya girl is a humble 5’4 on a good day

[luckkythirt33n]

Fan Expo Dallas going to be a whole lot of fun and a challenge. Already mentally preparing myself to meet DT and now I gotta tell Brian™ to shut it?! I'm actually going to die.

the daily struggle is real.

tw: SA

this makes me so angry and sad because wtf is wrong with some people? claiming to ‘love’ someone and then treating them like an object or a zoo animal is just so gross, not to mention it’s a literal crime. I can’t imagine how Joseph must be feeling right now because I know he was so excited to meet his fans and then this happened? just gross. I wouldn’t be surprised if he distanced himself from fans or requested a ‘no-hug’ / ‘no-physical-contact’ policy or some sorts of plexiglass after this, and I honestly wouldn’t blame him if that happened because apparently it’s so hard for some people not to be a predator.

I can’t believe this even has to be said but yeah, no, don’t SA someone just because they play your favorite fictional character in a tv show.

actually, don’t SA anyone.

there’s so much going on here

“He’s so tall and handsome as hell.”

[pollenallergie]

If what I’ve read about on my dashboard today is true, then FanExpo should let Joe out of his contract asap. I wouldn’t blame him if he never wanted to do meet and greets again at all after this. In fact, him refusing to do meet and greets from here on out would be more than justified. At the very least (the very, very least), they should let him opt out of photo ops and give him some sort of physical barrier between himself and the fans during autographs. It’s a shame that the actions of a few could take those opportunities away from everyone else, but I think that’d be the safest thing to do. Give him a break.

As for that fan… Ik he probably won’t, but god I wish Joe would press charges. That sort of behavior is literally a crime, that person deserves to be punished.

@eddiemunsonsmum’s comparison of this situation to what happened to Tom Hiddleston is incredibly apt, from the zoomed in pictures on their bulges, to the groping fans, to obsessive, mob-like mentality of their fan bases. This isn’t simple fangirl behavior, this is stalking, sexually harassing and abusing, sending death threats, cyber bullying, etc. These people aren’t fangirls, they’re the scum of the earth and they’re a threat to the safety and well-being of our favorite creatives (actors, musicians, etc.). More protective measures need to be set in place to prevent these types of people from interacting with these creatives.
