I got to meet Mark Rowley and Arnas Fedaravičius at Wales Comic Con!

And they were *so* so lovely. Arnas hugged me twice and decided we should pose like royalty, walking towards the camera all regal-like. Mark came up with our goalie-jazz hand pose. I only almost knocked over one lighting feature. All in all a good day.

BONUS PANEL PICTURE:

Bonus goss from the panel:

Both were big fans of wrestling as kids. If Finan and Sihtric were to have a wrestling move, it would be the 'Yes, Lord', in which they rough up the opponent, do 90% of the work, then get Uhtred to finish him off with his sword (or a piece of chicken).

When they lived together as housemates, their neighbour, Joy, a little elderly lady, would garden outside their bathroom window every time Arnas was in the shower... As Arnas said, he liked to bring 'joy' to Joy.

Both struggled getting out of their costumes in The Last Kingdom and that's why there was no topless scenes for them as it would have taken them a good half-an-hour to get their kit off!

When they got the roles for TLK, Arnas was working handing out leaflets and Mark worked in a restaurant in London. Funnily enough Mark's colleague at the time was a Lithuanian man who turned out to be Arnas's sister's ex-boyfriend!

They're planning to set up a Twitch channel together for when the movie comes out (next year sometime!).

Arnas brought his dad to the convention!

An amazing day all around! So glad I finally got to meet them :D

Its a good week late because I needed that long to process it, but Tyler Hoechlin was literally the sweetest person ever at the ICC Comic Con, and I had the opportunity to sit in on the panel for Teen Wolf, which gave me this gem to share with you:

Tyler's favorite monster in the show was the Kanima, in part because of seeing Colton in the SFX and teasing him about the reaction he had to the paint but mostly because it meant he got to do 1:1 scenes with Dylan, which he enjoyed the most and wanted more of. He said he found the scenes incredibly fun and that Dylan was amazing to work with.

They don't have the panel footage up yet but I'll link it as soon as they do with transcription so you guys can see!

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds cast + Runa ♥

Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, Jess Bush, and Christina Chong with her dog Runa at the Wales Comic Con panel for Strange New Worlds → Telford, England, December 3 2022

The cast got to cuddle a sleepy Runa as the panel went on. After spending some time in Anson's lap (receiving lots of scritches), Runa went to Ethan and, dozing off, used his forearm as a pillow.

Runa appears in the Strange New Worlds episode 1x08 "The Elysian Kingdom". When our Enterprise crew turns into storybook characters, Runa and "Princess Thalia" (Christina Chong) look adorable together wearing matching sparkly outfits.

I had a fantastic day yesterday!

As many of you know this year marks 25 years since Pokémon: The First Movie ‘Mewtwo Strikes Back’ was released. To celebrate, MCM London Comic Con - which was held this weekend - decided to stage a reunion for the original English dub cast of the anime. The convention organisers had managed to get the amazing Veronica Taylor (Ash), Eric Stuart (Brock and James), Jay Goede aka Philip Bartlett (Mewtwo in ‘Mewtwo Strikes Back’), and Rachael Lillis (Misty and Jessie), plus Dan Green (Mewtwo in ‘Mewtwo Returns’ and Entei in ‘Spell of the Unown’) as guests!

As you can imagine thousands of fans descended on the convention to have the chance to meet their childhood heroes, myself included. (I’ll pop the rest under a read-more to save your dashboards lol).

I still have a real soft spot for Pokémon and it has, to date, been my longest loved fandom; especially the character Mewtwo. As a kid and then teen, he was the character I really felt a connection to. I think a lot of fans did. It was also thanks to the first movie that I met a lot of friends in online fan forums and websites (ah, Geocities fan-sites and the ToM forum, you will always be missed).

I have actually met Jay once before at Wales Comic Con in April 2022 and I found him to be very friendly and charming, making time for everyone who came to his autograph booth. So, when I found he had a Facebook and Instagram account following Wales Comic Con, I followed him there as he makes some really great artwork. I never expected him to follow me back, or just casually chat with me! (If you had told 11-16 year old me that she would meet and chat online with the voice of Mewtwo, she would have melted into a puddle of fangirl goo 😂, and to be honest, I’m still kind of star-struck now)!

Naturally, I wore a lot of Mewtwo and Pokémon themed items to celebrate the occasion and made my way over to the autograph tables when I eventually got in the venue. It was so crowded! I’d made sure to bring a little something for the voice actors to say thank you for basically making my childhood and teen years special, and queued up to see them all, starting with Jay.

Jay recognised me as soon as I got to the front of the queue at his table and greeted me with a big smile and ‘Oh wow you’re here, that’s great!’ after we chatted briefly he asked if it was okay to give me a hug. I said sure, though he couldn’t find a way around the tables (they were all in a long line reaching right down the main hall) so saying ‘Hold on I’m finding a way round’ he then (to the amusement of his assistant and others in the queue) proceeded to crawl under the autograph tables, got up and gave me a big hug, then took a selfie with me. He’s an absolute sweetheart. My day was made right there! I also managed to get two of his original Mewtwo paintings. They’re brilliant, and I love them to bits.

I got my Mewtwo Strikes Back novel autographed and chatted with Jay a bit more before going to queue for the photo-ops. They were great fun.

I queued back up again after to try to get the rest of the casts’ autographs. The lines for them all, especially Veronica, were huge! I loved chatting with fellow fans whilst we waited, and every single cast member was so friendly, taking the time to really interact with everyone.

Dan Green made me laugh as when he gave me his autograph, he saw Jay’s signature and signed his ‘Dan “Mew-too” Green’ and explained he did it because ‘We share him, he was first though, so Mew-too for me makes sense’ 😆 He’s a sweet guy.

Eric and Veronica were so cool, doing impressions for younger fans who came to see them, and making sure all the fans had a great experience. Veronica spends a good amount of time with every single fan, which is just amazing considering the sheer amount of people who were waiting to meet her.

Rachael and her assistant loved my denim jacket (it has a huge embroidered Jigglypuff patch on the back as well as other iron on patches on the sleeves) and as Jigglypuff’s VA, Rachael was happy to see it.

It was such a great atmosphere there and a lot of fun. I’m so glad I went and got to meet the cast that defined my childhood.

Always in the end, comes hope and rebirth.

First con on my home turf and I brought Sailor Saturn! This was one of the first bought cosplays that I had to make major amendments to because it didn’t fit me properly and I absolutely love how it came out! I still need to learn to walk in heels though - I took them off after these were taken (and ended up ripping them apart a few weeks afterwards) 😂

CHARACTER: Hotaru Tomoe / Sailor Saturn

FANDOM: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

CONVENTION: Comic Con Wales - August 2022

(I forgot to post this??) He has the cutest ears. You won't change my mind. I've never really liked portraits, because I feel like they say so little of the person or character you are drawing other than plain looks... then comes Christopher Eccleson, and puts SO MUCH in a smile. The original photo was taken by someone in Wales Comic Con, 3rd of December, 2022. (I was there ^^) Now it's MINE. HAH!

More Jared only cons (well not Jared only but ykwim), please. Maybe it's a sign that CE cons are on the wane. One can only hope.

I agree! RICC was fantastic and I'd love to see similar cons continue. I was worried after RICC that Jared found it too exhausting and wouldn't want to do another one like that, but he seems to have planned well this time and is only at the con for one day. Hopefully, this bodes well for future regional cons.

We all know CE cons are diminishing in popularity. They're expanding to other guests, offering discounts, doing more photo and M&G combinations, anything they can do to hold on to the SPN family money. Except most general con-goers want to have an immersive experience with multiple fandoms, artists, vendors, etc. I imagine CE will be down to about 6-8 SPN cons next year and even fewer after that.

David Tennant and me at Wales Comic Con Spring 2022 ❤️ Such a sweetheart who quickly came up with a pose when I didn’t know what to do with myself 🙈

#sorry I'm not allowed to do hugs #david tennant #me and dt #meeting dt #wales comic con #I was totally unprepared for them telli g us like 2 minutes ahead that we wouldn’t be able to hug him #which was all I had planned for #I don't get why they can't announce things like this in advance #it didn't seem like it was David's own decision so I imagine the one's deciding that must have known in advance #of course probably because a) they didn't want to risk people getting infectes by everyonw touching him #b) probably didn't want to risk him getting sick so close to filming DW #I had two ops and it seemed pointless to just have to of me standing next to him looking stupid #which I really did in the first photo! #holy shit that waa terrible! #maybe my self perception is fuckes but I look like I weigh about twice as much as I do #in hinsight I should probably have asked if I could get another one because seriously #nobody is THAT ugly looking #and when we are paying this much the photographer should makw sure people don't look like complete shit #anyway I was for some reason a bit nervous hence why I have my hands the aay I do 🤣 #and apparently after the first photo when I was trying to figure out what to do #I posed my arms in a way that made hkm think I was asking for a hug #so he said #which only made me even more flustered! and I went no no I know it's just that I have another photo #and I'm not sure I even mato properly finish that sentence 🙈 #but he went OH! You want another pose! let's see what should we do?! #and somwone I got turned around and he went around me ans went OH we should go low!! #and down he went 🤣🤣🤣 #I I was so surprised while also my terribly shy self that I ended up in thia mid pose #But at least it's fun and different and I quite love it even if I still look weird AF 😂 #adding for the sake of my own journal kinda thing..should probably have done that when it was fresh in my mind but oh well
