Friday (Meet & Greet)



So I paid like a LOT of money that I really can't afford for the M&G, wherein guests rotate round tables of four attendees for about 4 mins each.



SO THIS WAS MY TIME.



I paid it for Tom only, and there was some fuck up on the rotation of guests and my table DIDN'T GET TOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS SO ANGRY AND SAD. BECAUSE I PAID FOR THAT 4 MINUTES WITH HIM AND DIDN'T GET IT.



But here is what went down from what I recall:



-Italia: quite short, a bit funny, very very beautiful but average otherwise. Seemed nice! This is her first con, and has always just been on the sidelines for Robbie's appearances before. Seemed sweet!



-Robbie: HOLY FUCK HANDSOME. I never thought he was good looking before, but he's seriously handsome in the flesh, it's striking. Also very very nice guy, very talkative, very down to earth, funny. ❤



-Franz: what a qt! He was very sick and his skin was absolutely FREEZING.❤



-Keiynan: really nice kid! Quiet, genuine.❤



-Danielle: she seemed nice enough, and she was talking about interviews a bit and about how important it is we watch (as i'd said I was up to date as I watch online and don't have a TV etc lmao and she jokingly berated me), but omfg HER VOICE. Like high and clipped if that makes sense. I was surprised actually how she sounded irl, very different. (MORE ABOUT DANIELLE FURTHER DOWN)

She DID like my STAR Labs tool kit though! ❤



-Amy: very sweet and funny, very personable, loves cons and was interested to find out what else we watch and other cons we go to, talked about the SPN guys fondly, said she recognised me from a SPN con, which is weird as I did meet her at one like 4 years ago. ❤



-Mike Rowe: spent most of the time talking to a guy at my table about his tattoos, and talking up his band and rock/metal music show tomorrow night. Ok guy though, friendly, down to earth.



-Sean Pertwee: handsome and rugged, but smelled distinctly like a bottle of white wine had been poured all over him lmao. On the sauce!



-Cory: I don't watch Gotham so I knew nothing about this dude, but he's REALLY HANDSOME and cleancut irl!!! And very sweet, very into art, was talking about all the galleries he's been to in London and all the exhibitions. He's staying with Sean Pertwee and his fam right now.



-Peyton: honestly didn't have much to say for herself at all.



-Ciara: her voice is ALSO really high and clipped/nasally! Who knew! Her Kendra voice is NOT how she normally speaks at ALL. Unrecognisable voice.

I didn't rate her though tbh, there was something kind of idk 'off' about her? Idk if she was reserved or something but it was strange to me. Maybe she felt shy? Nervous? Stunningly beautiful in the flesh though.



-Falk: I'M SHOCKED. I'M SO SHOCKED. Falk is INCREDIBLY personable, kind, funny, talkative. Like... I hate Hawkman and his acting has sucked lmao, but omg Falk is pretty great. WHO KNEW.

He was very very sweet to me, was joking about about having gone on a field trip when he was at school in the UK to the Isle of Man (where i'm from), and I was all mock offended about all the sheep he was talking about, he was laughing, and touched my arm in that way you do someone you're close to in apology. And squeezed my arm and gave me some kind of bro-hug on the way out.

I couldn't have been more shocked by him tbh!!! ❤❤❤



Now.... on to the upset.



Charlotte: So the rotation system was in place so we got all the guests - but there was some fuck up, and when it was Tom's turn to come to our table, Charlotte's handler pushed her in the line and Tom's handler steered him past us, SO WE WERE MISSED!!!!!!!!!

Charlotte seemed sort of sweet, whatever, and mostly just talked about Emily, and Emily this, Emily that, Emily doesn't do cons normally, blah blah, and I was talking to her about how on twitter i'd seen people were coming in from the US and such just to meet Emily. MORE ABOUT CHARLOTTE FURTHER DOWN which you WILL want to read!!



But because of HER I MISSED TOM’S ROTATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder I have always and will always hate Mama Smoak.

Brandon: ok you all know i'm not a Brandon fan... BUT I LOVE HIM NOW. He's actually so so sweet. We only got him for about half a minute, most of which the time was spent sanitising his hands and explaining that he was sick and didn’t want to infect anyone.

Then Tom walked past with his handlers on the way out and I saw him go, and was like "omg but we haven't had TOM yet!!!" And Brandon was like "TOM!!! TOM!!!!!!! TOMMMMMM!!!!!! and waving and beckoning him over. Which I thought was very sweet of him! So i'm a fan now. Brandon gave me a precious precious gift. ❤❤❤





TOM: ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

So Brandon beckons him over as he's being made to leave, and I have had my Harry pop out on the table all night and basically everyone had been like "who is that? Harry? Harry who?" (Robbie said it scared him because it has no mouth!)



But as Tom approaches our table HE SPOTS THE POP IMMEDIATELY and dashes over all "OH MY GOODNESS!!" And reaches to grab it up. "HOLY HANNAH IN A HANDBASKET! IT'S ME!" And he's all "can I take a selfie with him? Is that ok? Is this yours?" I was all "YES HE'S MY PLUS ONE, BUT GO AHEAD."



And then he just gets his phone out and starts posing with Little Pop Harry for selfies, and I was stood right next to him looking at his phone screen and watching him pose with Harry.... and my god IT WAS FUCKING UNCANNY. THEY LOOKED COMPLETELY THE SAME.



But you know when friends take selfies and you lean in over their phone to check it out and you're up in their personal space looming at their screen... it's automatic isn't it! And I was on autopilot, I was so dazed by standing next to him. I WAS SO UNCOOL BUT HE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND STOOD NEXT TO ME AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND IT WAS SURREAL.



There was some joke about Superman as Brandon pointed out the tats of a guy at our table, Tom said something in that rambly nonsensical way of his that I love, and then he's like "WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT, THERE IS SUPERMAN, ACTUAL REAL LIFE SUPERMAN!" at Brandon who was stood there with his hand sanitiser. "OR AM I SUPERMAN?!" I was like "Tom, no no, you are BATMAN, you are actual BATMAN remember!" And he was like "I am BUT THAT THERE, THAT THERE IS REALLY ACTUAL SUPERMAN! JUST LOOK AT HIM!"

But then before he could talk to us really, his handlers grabbed him and dragged him off to the next room.



All I know is that that brief moment in my life changed my body and my soul forever.

RIP Chasing Life tbh. :(



I want to know if Brandon is over his Ayn Rand infatuation. I haven't been able to take him seriously since he gushed over Atlas Shrugged. That was years ago but when it comes to Ayn Rand my grudge doesn't come with an expiration date!!!!1!



And does Danielle come off freakishly smart in person? The main thing I remember about her and her sister is how they graduated high school at, like, ages 12 and 13 IIRC. I think Kay even took Jesse McCartney to her high school prom.

Tom sounds AMAZING! I'm surprised you kept it together, I would die if I ever met him

John Barrowman is adorable as always, did you see his snap with him and Garrett doing voice work together? So excited!

Danielle sounds really nice, I feel bad for being meh over Caitlin. So much for those Candice rumors

Charlotte Ross has some goddamn nerve

I'm glad Katie got some love, smh @ rude people making up shit, and I'm glad about the spoiler

Can you confirm whether Brandon Routh has a big penis like rumors say?

lmao I CAN'T confirm about Brandon's cock! I MEAN I WISH I COULD.

If Barrowman got to be on Legends, he'd confirm it for us in panels for sure.



Danielle is SO nice omg, I felt bad for being meh about Caitlin too now lately! Because SHE is a thousand times more interesting than Caitlin Snow is, which is not her fault given the material.

Just like Falk Hentschel is a thousand times more interesting than Hawkman!!!



So many rude fucking Olicity shippers were going around trash talking Katie, and because both EBR and Amell were there, the place was FULLLLLL of Olicity and F*licity fans. WEARING THOSE UGLY BATHROOM THERAPY T-SHIRTS, lordt they're ugly shirts.

It's no joke taking the piss of alcoholism and making messy comments about someone's addiction (or lack thereof in her case), especially when her family went through so much because of it.

I just missed out with my post, hold me T_T



You're the fucking best, know that. A true inspiration <3





So Cory Michael Smith is just like Nygma irl? Lmao good to know

so I slept in and missed that creature cackling

Boo at 1996 people with atrocious taste

Did Danielle talk about Time Lapse if you can recall? That's the only her movie I saw and the ending was hilarious, loved it

Caitlin really should be single lol

thinks Caitlin feels that Harrison is more of a paternal figure aka DADDY

Did Brandon talk about Chuck? I'm obsessed, I know.

Good on Katie to come back from hospital to you guys, respect.

when he can’t even be bothered shelling out money for acting lessons DAMN <3

Dem aquaguns.........





I don't trust people who don't like TomCav. It's the whole point of our existence - to admire him with every passing second



Also can I pick your brains about uk cons? Like, I want to go and probably will have the money for the next year. Something as chaotic and filled with precious people as this one. Where and when should I start looking out for announcements?

SATURDAY



I did four lounges today (Katie's one was postponed as she was in hospital with a torn bicep) - TOMCAV FIRST and there was an obnoxious loud American woman who kept talking over everyone. But I did get to ask him about MATES! And also to do his Ralph Fiennes impression lmao.



Then I had a Keiynan lounge booked.... and ONTD Flash & Legends Fam, when I got there, one of the crew was like "do you mind if Franz's lounge is merged with yours?" And I was like, fine, just means we get two for the price of one.

Franz and Keiynan arrive.... and it is them two, and JUST FOUR OF US ATTENDEES. Hardly anyone had booked to see them!!! JUST FOUR OF US OUT OF 2000.

I monopolised that entire session and was the most talkative af. I told Keiynan that we all stan for him and want Kid Flash to take over. He loves Barry though so he was like “nooo! What about Barry!”

Both of them are SO sweet and nice ordinary guys. We were just chatting away like old friends the four of us! And Franz LOVES working with Victor <3



Then I had a Barrowman lounge and IT WAS HILLAARRRIOOUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS non-stop laughter. I was too busy laughing to remember much, and we’re not allowed to take notes or anything, but there’s a LOT of new stuff coming out that he and Carole are writing for Torchwood, and also he’s contractually not allowed to appear in any DRAMA for another network. He was asked if he wanted to be Oberyn Martell on Game of Thrones (but he’s white...?) but he couldn’t due to his CW contract.

And he talked about hot men a lot! OBVS.

And about Scott’s dick being online for all the world to see, and how press like the Daily Mail tried to make a thing of it like he’d ~exposed~ his husband. He told us a hilarious story about a friend of Scott’s mother calling her up to say she’d seen the d online, but that his mother wasn’t even phased, as Scott walks around naked CONSTANTLY.

Then the Danielle lounge...........................

Well. Embarassing.

She was actually really REALLY nice, and she's got a bit of a sharp sense of humour and wit that you don’t often see from her in press and obviously not on the show, I can see why Tom likes her so much. She's funny actually! Not in a way that makes you laugh at all as with Barrowman, but just in her commentary.

HOWEVER, she loves Police Brutality Patty because she’s friends with Shantel irl. Poor taste.

But she does want more scenes with Iris and with Jesse! She is more about girlpower than anything.

And thinks Caitlin needs to be single now.



ALSO I kept mentioning "my online community" where we talk about the show, and she had me answer some questions for her on what we knew online so far. She kept saying “why don’t you answer this one for us! What’s online right now?”



She asked me what this online community was because I kept casually slipping us in there, and I was like "it's called Oh No They Didn't... BUT DON'T GO THERE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE WAY WAY WAY HARSH ABOUT YOU." And she was like "oh HONEY, you should see twitter, I get thousands of messages a week! Really harsh nasty stuff!"

I just said "no, no Danielle, this is like BLOCK TEXT of dragging." Her expression was a PICTURE. Oh my days.

She promised she wouldn't come here to spy on us lmao.



HI DANIELLE.



Also some random french girl asked about SNOWBARRY.

This girl asked her "will we be seeing more intimate scenes between Barry and Caitlin?"

DANIELLE'S FACE. She was like "what intimate scenes have we had so far?!"

Then like "no... no no, they're like siblings, they’re in the lab together that’s all, they have that kind of relationship, there's nothing there at all, and I think before they can even think about anything like that WestAllen has to come first, and be central to Barry's story. I know there are shippers... WestAllen and SnowBarry... but WestAllen is the direction they're going in, pretty clearly. I think you need to let WestAllen have this."



MWAHAHAHWHAHAHHAHAHAHHHHAHAHA burn SnowBarry shippers BURN.



I told her it was dannggeerroouusss to say that, and that I was going to put it up on twitter. She made a fake scared face and went “nooo!” I was like "don't worry, I won't really! I'll protect you Danielle!" And she was like "thank you, i'm relying on you to keep me safe” and winked.

She had good banter and comic timing surprisingly!



I also asked her about Caitlin/Harry (Snowells), and said that the shippers were also detecting something there before Jay got in on the scene, and was that ever discussed or in anyone's mind in terms of the show and Caitlin/Harry... and she was like "NO NO NO, definitely not, that was never intended, it's like a paternal relationship I think."



Which I don't see at all, and I wonder if Tom would say the same.



But generally apart from me asking some stuff, and some other dude asking about her work decades ago, it was AN AWKWARD LOUNGE. A lotttttt of silences. Most of us had no idea what to say, barely any questions.

Like I just talked about online shipping so there was something to say to fill a half hour of silence. She was like “well...... " more silence, then I said “awkward silence?” And she laughed, and everyone else just got MORE awkward! It was weird!



AWKWARD AF.

Tom Lounge

-Tom talked about MATES, and did his Ralph Fiennes impression (at my eager request!)

-Talked about the dents in the cortex set walls from when he’d deliberately drive the wheelchair into them again and again last season.

-MIMED OUT SPINNING IN THE WHEELCHAIR. There was t-shirt ride up repeated bare Lower Back on show as he span slowly round and round bent over.

Repeat. BARE LOWER BACK.



-Discussed how all of the various Harry quirks were added by himself, as he thrives on physical acting, and Harry is an extremely physical character and “a badass”, also “a malcontent”.

-Did the gun cocking sound and mimed out his Harryisms!

-He spoke again about how the writers had Harry very much the same as EoWells, same mannerisms, same speech patterns. And that he was all “no no no!” and switched them all up - SNOW, and CRISCO/RAMON.

-Said the usual about Eobard being who he signed on to play and ultimately who he always goes back to - said that Harry is very different to Eobard, but ultimately a variation on a theme.

-Also mentioned the modulating of Harry’s voice down, comparative to EoWells.



-Genuinely loves everyone on the cast, they spend all their time between shots playing about, and then Carlos gets his guitar out and they start singing and just singing non-stop.

-Grant is “so winning.”



-Talked about Carlos a lot - he’s a “musical genius”, mentioned the Letter Carrier and that Carlos “almost died” doing it, he takes it all seriously to a level beyond the rest of them.

-Carlos’ music from The Letter Carrier is his 40 minute running music on loop!

-He said that he and Carlos are going to be RECORDING SOME MUSIC TOGETHER and putting it online for us at some point!!

-The entire cast “proceeds from gratitude” as a whole.

-Various other things… but I was so busy just GAZING from being in a room with 20 other people looking at him and talking to him and looking at him. And we weren’t allowed pen/paper.



Nothing we haven’t heard before ultimately (except maybe about Carlos’ running tunes?), but the floof was on point and his precious face even more so!

I would say from all that he said it was indicative of him being in Season 3 which at this point is all but confirmed anyway, although we ran out of time right before I was going to ask him for confirmation. He talked about next season and the future and continuing to play on these multitude of roles within the show. So...

SEETHE, TOM HATERS!!!!!



Tom Talk

Time to play TomCav Bingo!











-Much of the same content as the lounge, actually, similar questions, and again I was ultimately too dazed by sitting on the front row a few metres from him to take much of anything in.

-Entered by running onto the stage and straight off the other side, then back on again.

-“I don’t compliment well…”

-Talked a lotttttt about his Time In The War, When The Boys Came Home, and Back in the 40s… at least 6 separate mentions!

-Loves the physical comedy aspect of Harry!



-Grant and Carlos LOVE it when Tom throws things at them!

Tom decided he wanted to throw pens and board erasers and anything to hand at them in scene, and being All About Consent and precious as he is, he asked if it was ok, and would they mind if he did that, could he do that, were they sure.



And they were both like:

“YES. YES, TOM! THROW IT!!!!! THROW IT AT ME!!!!!”



SO HE DID. AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. AND THEY LOVE IT.







-Acted out “Run, Barry.......RUN.” As Harry!!

-A lot of banter and comedy with con attendees who were asking questions, a lot of back and forth. He was his typically humorous self, and the room was in good spirits.

-He was asked a generic question about playing Harrison (I forget the gist), and responded: "Harrison from Earth 1, Earth 2, or... Earth 3?" Turned to look at the audience, and everyone OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH’ed.



-He was asked who his Favourite Cast Member To Film With Is:

And word for word TomCav Flashback!



WORD. FOR. WORD. Then.

"If you think for one second that i’m going to open THAT can of worms, my friend… you’re sorely mistaken!"

aw no she's too sweet to have an awkward panel!



I would have asked her about Sky High lmao I love that movie (and we were cheated out of a Warren/Layla romance) and asked her about Steven Strait and about her sister and just a lot of stuff. I remember her from heaps of Disney stuff so it's a shame no one but you and that one guy was asking questions.

I think ONTD needs to get with the program about Danielle and start stanning for her too instead of hating her... i'm going to lead the charge! ❤



Danielle even tweeted at the con to Rogue that she'd heard they had printer problems and she would stay late as long as it took to sign anything for fans which they'd not had a chance to bring to her table because of the printer problems.



And Katie was legit there HALF THE DAMN NIGHT long after the convention was over!!!! FOR REALS. WITH AN INJURY. She was sat on her own in that big room just signing and personalising and talking to the fans for hours on end. Unreal.

I mean, she's not and never been a real threat to WestAllen. WestAllen is the most canon ship there is. It's unsinkable at this point. It's really time to let go of the Danielle/Caitlin hate, tbh.



My only complaint about WestAllen shippers is how they go after her because it's low-key just like Olicity shippers and Katie. WestAllen shippers should be better than that. Especially since we're a lot of the same people too.



People are just kind of hating to hate at this point. Lets ship WestAllen, stan Iris, and also support the other women on the show. Attacking a woman because she's a threat to your ship is always trash behavior and we gotta be better than that.

YES I DID HE WAS EDIBLE AS FUCK BASICALLY AND I COULDN'T REALLY CONTROL MYSELF.



I was the luckiest bitch in the building basically. Everyone was only allowed in ONE Hall all weekend, and the Sunday Tom talk I shouldn't have even been able to get into, but my friend's girlfriend was like "oh do you want my pass? I'm just going to chill and do some autos, I don't even need it." AND SHE LET ME HAVE HER PASS SO I COULD GO AND WATCH TOM AND TAKE ALL THOSE PHOTOS!!!!



It made the weekend COMPLETE, you know? Nobody else got to see him talk TWICE.



AND YES I GOT HIS GLASSES LMAAOOOOOO. What kind of STALKER.



He was like "I LOVE YOUR GLASSES." lolllllll HE KNEW. ❤❤❤❤❤

SUNDAY





Ready for the day!









Katie Lounge

(15 mins late as no Rogue crew knew wtf was going on and told me it wasn’t happening!)

-I asked about the upcoming episode of The Flash – she loved playing Black Siren and being on The Flash, didn’t want to say too much in case she spoiled it. LOVED the Black Siren costume they made for her, but the pants weren’t stretchy leather like Black Canary’s costume, so the first day she sat down to have lunch and they split right across the middle. They already had the costume done, but she was the one who decided on her hair and makeup.

-Is always up for returning and playing in this world, has told Guggenheim as much.

-As I entered late, another attendee was asking about Nyssa/Laurel, and Katie was saying that it was actually something discussed early on, and making that a romantic bisexual relationship, but that it was ultimately decided against for reasons she doesn’t know but thinks due to the connection with Sara and everything that entailed. But Katie said she would have been totally up for it and is down with Laurel being bi, and mentioned her Melrose Place character.

-If she could have changed one thing – didn’t like the Laurel/Tommy relationship in season one. Loves Colin, but felt that Laurel was written too one-dimensional in S1.

-Generally super super sweet!

As I came in late, I got to sit RIGHT NEXT TO HER. Stunningly beautiful up close.



- A good and noble sis who was in the Katie lounge before I got there said she was getting a bit choked up at the beginning, and talking about how much she put into being the Black Canary, working out, researching, devouring all the source material, and doing everything she could to try and do Laurel justice within the bounds of the show.



She went to AA meetings for Laurel research, but as she has a history of alcoholism in her own family she grew up seeing the damaging tragic effects of it, which is why she really wanted to do the storyline justice. She found that storyline very draining, but also personally rewarding.



I missed the Katie Panel because of clashes with Tom stuff :(

BUT people are telling me that she hinted at this week’s Flash episode not being the end for Black Siren, and it may not be quite what we think...

ALSO ALSO TEDDY SEARS TODAY CONFIRMED AT A CONVENTION IN THE US THAT BLACK SIREN SURVIVES!!!!!!



Katie Auto

Ok so Katie had a muscular tear in her left bicep (she signs right), and having missed an entire day of the convention she had all the photos and autos still to do. An entire two days worth. Of 2000 attendees, ALL of whom had a FREE AUTOGRAPH INCLUDED IN THEIR PASS for her and most others.

Katie did hours of photos, her lounge, her panel, AND she sat and signed and talked to the fans all afternoon and well into the evening. The convention finished at 6pm, John Barrowman saw us all off, and I got my Katie auto by 6:30pm due to my priority pass.

But friends of mine were still there queuing to meet her at almost 8PM hours after the event was over, but she insisted on staying to see and sign for everyone, despite being in discomfort from her arm.



Yet if you look at twitter or tumblr, it’s full of Olicity and Anti-KC assholes saying she was wasted and hungover in her hotel room, faked being in hospital, and just didn’t care about her fans, and saying all kinds of horrible things about her. Yet she stayed behind when all the other guests had left and signed on her own non-stop for hours and hours and hours and hours AFTER THE CONVENTION WAS OVER.





(15 mins late as no Rogue crew knew wtf was going on and told me it wasn’t happening!)-I asked about the upcoming episode of The Flash – she loved playing Black Siren and being on The Flash, didn’t want to say too much in case she spoiled it. LOVED the Black Siren costume they made for her, but the pants weren’t stretchy leather like Black Canary’s costume, so the first day she sat down to have lunch and they split right across the middle. They already had the costume done, but she was the one who decided on her hair and makeup.-Is always up for returning and playing in this world, has told Guggenheim as much.-As I entered late, another attendee was asking about Nyssa/Laurel, and Katie was saying that it was actually something discussed early on, and making that a romantic bisexual relationship, but that it was ultimately decided against for reasons she doesn’t know but thinks due to the connection with Sara and everything that entailed. But Katie said she would have been totally up for it and is down with Laurel being bi, and mentioned her Melrose Place character.-If she could have changed one thing – didn’t like the Laurel/Tommy relationship in season one. Loves Colin, but felt that Laurel was written too one-dimensional in S1.-Generally super super sweet!As I came in late, I got to sit RIGHT NEXT TO HER. Stunningly beautiful up close.- A good and noble sis who was in the Katie lounge before I got there said she was getting a bit choked up at the beginning, and talking about how much she put into being the Black Canary, working out, researching, devouring all the source material, and doing everything she could to try and do Laurel justice within the bounds of the show.She went to AA meetings for Laurel research, but as she has a history of alcoholism in her own family she grew up seeing the damaging tragic effects of it, which is why she really wanted to do the storyline justice. She found that storyline very draining, but also personally rewarding.I missed the Katie Panel because of clashes with Tom stuff :(BUT people are telling me that she hinted at this week’s Flash episode not being the end for Black Siren, and it may not be quite what we think...ALSO ALSO TEDDY SEARS TODAY CONFIRMED AT A CONVENTION IN THE US THAT BLACK SIREN SURVIVES!!!!!!Ok so Katie had a muscular tear in her left bicep (she signs right), and having missed an entire day of the convention she had all the photos and autos still to do.

KATIE CASSIDY CONTINUED...



I told her that my online community ONTD lovveeeeessss her and supports her, and that everyone wanted me to tell her that, and that most of us quit Arrow when Laurel was killed off.

She said “you’re so so sweet!!” and re: us quitting the show “I’ll be on The Flash this week though, you’ll see me then!” I said how we were all excited about it, and we hope she’s on the Flash FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER. She laughed and said “well you never know!”

I said “WELL THEN, SEE YOU IN ALL OF SEASON 3!” And she laughed again, beamed so brightly up at me, thanked me and said “Season 3! Yes! Let’s go!!”



And who else was signing long after their allotted time because fans were still waiting? DANIELLE. Whereas plenty of others just got up and left in the middle of sessions because they were bored and couldn’t be bothered... Charlotte Ross.



COLTON HAYNES

Colton is such a sweetheart. This isn’t the first time I’ve met him at a con, but the first obviously since he officially came out. I missed his panel with Willa unfortunately, butttt in the auto queue the room was getting insanely hot, and his queue was miles long, so he got up and quit his table, and walked down the line, signing for everyone standing up! He said “I just want to stand up and see you all, I don’t want to be sat with my head down the whole time



Charlotte Ross

What can I say about Charlotte... well. She was getting up and saying how BORED she was and just leaving in the middle of her autograph sessions whilst a massive queue of fans was waiting to see her, all “do I have to be here?!” in front of them.

She was also acting like a massive diva, and refusing to sign for the fans!! She flat out refused to sign some of the official images, including the black and white convention shots taken of all the guests at the beginning of the event. All because she didn’t like how she looked in them.

Her behaviour was so obnoxious and rude in the autograph sessions that there were a multitude of complaints, and reports say that eventually even Stephen Amell had to have a word with her about it!!



Danielle Auto

She remembered me from Friday’s Meet and Greet and Saturday’s Lounge, and was like “I hope the lounge was ok yesterday? It was so awkward!! I’m so sorry! Nobody had any questions!” I assured her it was ok even if SOOOOO awkward, that I enjoyed it, and apologised to her for basically talking constantly, she said “no no honey no! Thank YOU! Nobody else was saying anything, you could have said more!” I told her I didn’t want to be THAT person who talks nonstop and doesn’t let anyone get a word in edgeways, but she said I’d saved it actually. I promised to think up more questions for next time!

She was super super lovely and sweet, and very funny. I kind of love her now! ❤



EBR Auto

Got this for a friend who had a queue clash, and she was fine, pretty monosyllabic. Reports coming in say she barely looked up during autos, but she was the most popular guest by far as she’s so rare and people had flown in from ACROSS THE WORLD to meet her, so she was very rushed to sign.

I was near the end of her last queue, so just said to her that I felt badly that Felicity didn’t get to actually do anything with the paralysis storyline, and it was a wasted opportunity and poorly handled.

She just kind of idk smiled sadly at me and said “yeah.”

And that was that!



Stephen Amell

I obviously didn't pay £45 to get him to sign, but I saw him in the corridor a bunch of times and he was all "hey guys" as he walked past queues and queues of fans waiting. And he was nothing worth writing home about in any regard.

NOT SORRY I SLEPT IN AND MISSED HIS PANEL.

Hard pass tbh.



HARD PASS.

Brandon Auto

We were at the very end of his queue, so the last people he signed for all weekend so got to have a bit of a chat.

SUCH a lovely guy!! YOU HAVE BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG [Bad username: rawr_santi]!

I was telling him how I actually hated Ray on Legends because he was all moody and sullen, and not the Ray of Sunshine he’s meant to be, and Brandon said “it’s romance problems! All that love drama has got him feeling bent out of shape!” We had a bit of a laugh about ~cursed love and all that, and my friend was all “NO RAY IS THE BEST, YOU’RE MY MAN CRUSH.” It was hilarious. He was sweet and thanked us for coming and hoped we got home safely!

Other autos

Everyone else was actually lovely – I didn’t end up bothering with Stephen Amell for obvious reasons. As IF I’d pay so much extra money to meet him when he can’t even be bothered shelling out money for acting lessons!





Tom Auto ❤❤❤

As Rogue were saying they wouldn’t allow food gifts, my plan to bring Tom a bag of Clementines (top rated snack by both Tom and Magic, MATES #46) was foiled, so instead I learnt the noble art of Candle Making, and made a Clementine Cake candle using eco soy wax. And made custom labels. And went all out.

It’s called ~Respect For Women~, OBVIOUSLY.







He couldn’t believe it, and that I knew which episode it was, and just seemed so surprised, touched and taken aback. "Wow... I can’t tell you how much that means to me that you actually know that."

And he signed Little Harry’s little head! And took more selfies with him. He promised to put them up on social media soon when he escapes UK roaming charges.

He was like “I LOVE YOUR GLASSES.” And I was like “I LOVE YOUR GLASSES TOO.”

Our glasses are cute, ok!

Then “I LOVE YOUR REVERSE FLASH LANYARD.” To which I restrained myself from the obvious reply of “I LOVE YOUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE.” Which would have been accurate, but may have resulted in security being called to the scene.

I took a photo of myself outside the auto room afterwards because Tom got me feeling cute af and like I could take on the world! ❤







Tom Photo ❤❤❤

YES I ASKED FOR A HUG NOBODY CAN JUDGE ME ON THIS.

The Cavanarms were out of ALL control. What kind of musculature!

AND THE FLOOF.

And the everything, let’s be real. The everything.







Random Observation ❤

Tom asks for permission always. Before doing anything which may tangentially involve you, he asks if he can, if that’s ok, and waits for full verbal consent before proceeding.

Beyond precious and lovely and tremendous and winning.

While I would never want LL/Nyssa due to Sara/Nyssa, I kind of love how Katie doesnt gaf and just wants what she wants.



I am even sadder after this that she got let go and that MG was probably just laughing in his mind when she was telling him he she would love to come back for more.

I definitely next convention would get a photo with him. Tbh I really like him now!

HE DID ME THE BIGGEST SOLID IN THE WORLD AT THAT FRIDAY MEET AND GREET.



Tom's irl GRIN when he saw Little Harry the first time was so big that he looked like the actual irl Cheshire Cat, I kid you not! I HAD TO LOOK AWAY IT WAS LIKE STARING INTO THE SUN.



Danielle is SOOOO nice and funny!



Also there was a HUGE cock up with photos on sunday, like the printers and paper didn't work, so over 8000 photos were like... not printing. THERE WAS BASICALLY A RIOT!!!!!!!!!! SCREAMING, CRYING, PUSHING, SHOVING, CHAOS.



I had no idea this was happening because I was sat in Barrowman's talk eating pancakes and raspberries and cream lmao well out of it but heard about it after the fact. All because the photos were not printing! PEOPLE GOT FIRED.



A fan tweeted Danielle about it saying that they wouldn't be able to get their photo printed by Rogue as promised, and then even not for months because Rogue are saying they have to wait for a digital download (some from like last year still aren't online yo)...

Danielle tweeted back AND TAGGED ROGUE EVENTS IN:



"That is horrible. Very disappointed in @rogueevents & I hope they make this right"



Say goodbye to Danielle ever being invited back here by Rogue, holy shit!



John is the BESSTTTTTT. This is why I want Malcolm to LIVE, because Barrowman gives off so much love and joy in the world. SIS DID YOU SEE ALL MY BRANDON PHOTOS THOUGH?
