He was so sweeet and damn he smelled so fucking good. Though I don't think he actually got any sleep before Sunday because he came to the con in the same clothes as he was wearing to his night out and damn his was SO tired by the autographs, poor thing.
It IS a busy year, hopefully it won't mean it's finished yet! :D

Well, we SPN fans tend to be convention veterans, but I think the Marvel Brass is only just starting to understand what fandom really means(*mad cackle*). But the panel photos looked like Sebastian was at least thoroughly enjoying himself so I guess the lost sleep would totally be worth it.

No one does conventions like SPN :D And yeah, he was enjoying himself at the panel, plus he had Mackie by his side, so they kind of bounced off of each other, you know? They joked a lot and all that stuff. It was awesome :) It's just being around SO many people can understandably wear you out, he just could not say no to one person and then everybody started asking for selfies and hugs at the signing table and the handlers weren't against it, so. But to be fair, people brought him tons of presents for his birthday which was the week before the con, so he seemed very touched by that gesture. Plus, I mean, it's two days, right? I'm pretty sure for him there's more pros than cons doing the con and talking to all the fans :)

Yeah, having to go through so many people and making personal time for every one of them - even if it's just a few seconds - has got to be exhausting, both physically and mentally. But I think the fact that he's appreciative towards fans and the interaction shows that sudden stardom hasn't gone to his head (though from what I've seen of him in interviews and such, I didn't think he'd be in danger that way) which is great. I think he's probably going to have to learn to dial it back a little as time goes on, as not to wear himself out completely, so your experience should be a treasured one, but it's always great to hear the actors reacting so positively and openly to direct connection with the fans. It creates a good atmosphere for fannish endeavours and for the franchise as a whole.

No, I mean, his such a sweatheart and so modest and his a pretty private person and I honestly think that if it wasn't for Mackie who kinda brought him out a bit, the panel wouldn't be so fun. I'll definetely remember this experience, trust me. I'd love to attend more conventions with him in the future, especially next year or even in 2016 when the third movie comes out. Now THAT would be very interesting :)
