The fandom tattoo

So I've got a couple of tattoo, today I got my fifth tattoo and the first fandom one. I've been a fan of Supernatural for almost ten years now, walked around with the idea for a year so I decided that now was the time to get it done. So today was the big day and I got my Supernatural tattoo, the anti possesion symbol with the line: Family don't end with blood around it and yes it's spelled right.

But it also got me thinking, how many people walk around with a fandom tattoo? A storm trooper, a beautiful quote from your favorite book or maybe a tardis. I just love the idea that people decide to commit to the fandom they're in. That they decide to immortalize that part of them, I just love it!

A lot of people don't understand why we decide to get that specific tattoo, don't we know it's for life? Well I do and you know what if I'm old and my grandchildren ask me what it stands for I will always remember the wonderful fandom I belonged to. The wonderful people I met because of my tattoo or just because I'm in the fandom. It's a part of my life I never want to forget about.

So how about you? Do you have a fandom tattoo?

5 Fandom Friday: Characters with my favourite fictional fashion.

This is a hard one for me as I'm not a big fashion fan, but I try to make it work. So here is my top 5.

1. First of all Charlie Bradbury from Supernatural, she likes to dress in geeky clothes with geeky t-shrits. I kind of dress as her already

2. Margaery from Game of thrones, she always looks good

3. Eleanor from Eleanor & Park I love what she does with the clothes she has

4. Daenerys, I love her dresses, they wouldn't look good on me but I like them all the same

5. Cath from Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, she likes her fandom t-shirts and so do I!

So I  made it to number five, I'm proud of myself. 

Jus in bello day 3

So there it is, the last day of Jus in bello, it came way to fast and I just wasn't ready to say goodbye to this wonderful con and all the wonderfull guests. I wish I had more days there but it just wasn't going to happen.

So the last day is just a sad day, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun! Because we did a lot of ops on the other two days, today we only had our photo op with Rob and Richard. So this day I decided to just enjoy the panels. One of the most fun panels was with Osric, Felicia and Greyston. There were a lot of fun questions and seeing them play with all the things on stage was just fun!

Felicia was one of my favourites before this weekend, after this weekend I'm an ever bigger fan! She's just funny, geeky and so nice. But I'll write another blog post declaring my love for her on another day.

So because I decided to just get hugs from everyone I decdide to just do that for my Richard photo op. Like all the othere actors he was really nice!

The only thing that just takes forever is the break so you can eat something. Yes it's nice that they give you the time to do just that. But because there was a fire at the airport a week before Jib a lot of reastaurants were closed. So waiting for the next panel to begin took a while, but luckily it was Misha's panel and he decided to just start a litte sooner. Misha is just fun, you can ask him anything and he'll answer, sometimes seriously and sometimes he just jokes and give you a funny answer.

We only had our Rob authograph, after the hug I said to him: Now I can tell my friends that I've hugged god. And he just smiled and said: Nice. Haha he's so sweet and later that evening we went to his concert, that was amazin and I just keep listening to his music.

Before we knew it the einding was near, we had just one panel to go: Misha and Jensen. It was so much fun, Jensen flashed us so that was really nice! And Misha and Jensen danced so that was a lot of fun.
I almost cried at the end ceremony, just because I knew I was going to miss this. I won't be going next year, but hopefully the year after I get my chance again. After everyone left the panel room we stood outside in the hall and just sang Carry on wayward son and it was the best moment ever!

So I loved Jib, I want to go again it was the best experience I've ever had!

Juss in bello day 2

So the second day of Jus in bello was Jensen day for me, the day of the photo op and authograph. I was nervous all morning knowing I would be meeting my favourite Supernatural star. So we skipped the opening and went straight to the line to wait for the session to begin. I was with another fan and she was just as nervous as me. So while waiting for our turn whe talked about how nervous we were, who should go first, etc.

Then the moment was there, I was standing in front of him and shaking with nerves. I asked him if I could get a hug for the photo and he agreed. ( I'm glad he did haha ) I was shaking the whole time the picture was being taken and it was over before I knew it. I told him I was so nervous about asking him for the hug and he replied with: You did great. I'm going to be honest here, I felt like crying when he said that. He's just so nice!

After the picture we decided to go the stage room, so we could watch some pannels. I have to say I love pannels. The interaction with the actors is always so much fun to watch. When they announced that the autograph session for Jensen was open we made out way to the next que. You could see that there wasn't a lot of time to say something and I think I only said, thank you after he signed my book. ( I have a copper art book, I'll make another post about my book soon. )

Jensen's panel was so much fun, he told us about Jared and how he was doing. And he opened up to tell us that after becoming a father he learned to open up to the fans a little bit more. To really feel our hugs and the love we give him. I thought it was the sweetest thing to say! And he closed his panel with singing Sweet home Alabama, is there anything this man can't do?

The beauty of Jus in bello is that the organisation is so good that we could just hang out in the stage room the rest of the day. We just watched panels and enjoyed ourselves. I had the most fun at the Mark Sheppard and Osric Chau pannel, Mark likes to make everybody nervous including Osric. So when he started a story about Misha Collins trying to be a professional Mark shouted at him: So you're saying he's unprofessional in front of his fans? Osric started to get nervous haha. It was just so much fun to watch those two on stage.

Another highlight of this con was the fact that Robert Singer was there, you get a whole diffrent view of the show. Because here is a man that's making this show behind the scenes. I loved listening to him.

Because we had a Jared photo op and he wasn't there we switched it for a double photo op with Felicia and Osric. I just thought that this was the most fun option to switch to. So we did a Charlies angels pose, I loved it and I just love both of them. They are so nice and geeky.

At the end of the day we decided to get the autographs of Robert Singer and Rob Bennedict so we could enjoy the next day with only a photo op with Richard and Rob. They had more time at the signing table so you had more time to say something to them.

Day 2 was so much fun, with as highlight the fact that we had our photo op with Jensen of course.
