“I CRADLED YOU IN MY ARMS” aka the Bonding Moment™

So I get to the autograph line with Luka aka @mustlovelance like 30mins before Jeremy’s first signing session and there’s no one there, right? We check the schedule because wtf we thought this would be harder to accomplish, but by that point a few other Voltron cosplayers show up and end up being #first just by nature of a staff member approaching and asking everyone to begin a line. We crack jokes together, kill some time, talk about cosplay and All Things Voltron because what else are you gonna do on line to meet people because of Voltron??? Jeremy shows up around five minutes into what was supposed to be his signing time, everyone collectively panics a little and gets that Starstruck Fan look on their face til he...... runs off to the bathroom which honestly??? What a Lance move, A+ my dude. 

He reappears, first few people go through the line and snap some photos with him. He’s incredibly personable and patient, double-checking name spellings and making sure everyone’s happy. Then it’s Luka’s turn, and she presents him with her Voltron board game gift which went over super well, his staffers even thought it was cool and asked for photos of the two of them with it. 

So then it’s my turn.

I ask him to sign my bayard [I know, I know, Red not Blue but SHUSH], to which he says I gotta get Steven to sign it next (boy you think I won’t.....). I may or may not have cracked a joke about Steven being the true cryptid. 

So then I get to ask him for a photo. Initially, I was worried my planned request wouldn’t be feasible and it’d just be an over-the-table selfie situation, but he was totally cool with stepping out and doing full body shots with people alongside his table setup. I expected him to be a little confused, or even to flat out turn me down since everyone had just done casual selfies or quick smiling shots until me, but I went ahead and asked anyway. The conversation went like so:

me: Okay, so uh, bit of a special request for the photo? Jeremy: Whatcha got. me: Can we have a bonding moment? Jeremy: -squints suspiciously- ….Explain??? me: I’m not gonna make you get on the floor but can I like. cradle you in my arms and dip you sort of….? Jeremy: OH yeah yeah okay— -goes to put his arm around my shoulders- wait no. I got a better idea okay I’m gonna jump— me: I’m sorry you’re what— Jeremy: —on three yeah i’m gonna jump okay— me: —are you serious oh my— Jeremy: Yeah yep totally are you gonna catch me? you gotta catch me okay ready and GO— me: —OH MY GOD YOU’RE SERIOUS UH OKAY OKAY YEAH SLDKAGJAS

Cue this disaster where I almost dropped him because I was so surprised and missed his outside leg

And then I Got My Shit Together and decided I would’ve let myself hit the ground and die before I let him fall

Bonding Moment™ achieved, photographic proof Obtained✓

I earned a bro hug and his thanks after all this, and that’s the story of how Jeremy Shada trusts me enough to tell me to cradle him in my arms despite meeting me for the first time ten minutes prior.

CTCon 2017 - Yugi + Kaiba Shoot

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THESE PHOTOS. I love cosplaying with @sreddous so much; we have way too much fun XD 

Especially when we are the entirely wrong heights for the characters we’re cosplaying. YOU AREN’T FOOLING ANYONE THERE, KAIBA. (The one of her on the ottoman so you can CLEARLY SEE THE COMPENSATION is my favorite. And the one of me patting her head.) 

Featuring me as Yugi and @sreddous as Kaiba. Taken at the ConnectiCon 2017 Photo Booth! Yugi Jacket/Pants by Killer Queen Cosplay; wig styled by me.
