comic con, gerard way, and shelter omg
First, first, first! COMIC CON was some of the best four days EVER. :DD I'm still sort of reeling from the awesomeness of the entire thing. hee! So! Instead of boring you with the recap of the entire event, start to finish, I'll give you the highlights! In bullet format because I'm still suffering from I want to be back in San Diego brain rot.
- Gerard Way is a huge, total dorkus and I adore every single thing about him. Audra and I sat through his entire panel, leaning against each other, and giggling helplessly because his awesomeness leaves us verbally incompetent. :D
- Grant Morrisson (and btw, if you've never read Doom Patrol then you are missing out on some of the most brilliant, mind-blowingly amazing story telling in existence) is way, way cooler than anyone who writes comic books should be. Not that comic book writers are not inherently cool, but still -- WAY COOLER.
- Really, Audra and I just sort of flailed wildly about the existence of both Grant Morrison AND Gerard Way. Seriously. (And no one can blame us for our obsessive fangirling. They both really are just that aweosme. :D)
- Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog rocks my world. (And someone should really be writing Neal Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion rps. Like now. They're both just too adorable for words. And I know because I totally saw them. *giggles stupidly*
- Plotting slash stories where the Panic boys run rampant through Comic Con, crazily texting each other and taking randomly bad pictures with their cell phones is SO MUCH FUN. And, yes, maybe the beers and then the pitcher of sangrias aided in the funny but even now, the story is still funny. ha! (Not that it will ever, ever get written but. The fun was in the plotting! And the alcohol!)
- I got to meet miriad! And she is hilarious, and wonderful, and she did not mock Audra and I for our drunken commentary during the masquerade thing. :D
Seriously, those four days were amazing. I just...can't even tell you all how amazing. :D I left San Diego in tears because it'll be a whole year before I can go back. Eeeee! It was a weekend of giggling, and helpless laughter, and pretty much being completely stupid over Gerard Way (and some guy from Torchwood! Who slouched adorably!). How much better can it get??
In conclusion: COMIC CON. OMG. :DD
And then yesterday, I watched the movie Shelter, which is possibly one of the most adorable movies ever made. It's a walking-talking-eye-candy gay romance movie that's not just a good gay romance movie -- it's actually a truly good movie. Really! How often does that happen? If you're interested, there's a primer for the movie and the (very teeny, tiny) fandom here.
Anyway...I made icons. (Icons! Something truly fannish for the first time in months! :D)
