Amanda Tapping at Fedcon 2023
Stop deflecting compliments by making jokes, Amanda :) We mean it :) You are light and you are amazing.
#amanda tapping#thanks so much to whoever said that to her#I wish I had the courage to just tell her stuff like that#I get so nervous and so self-conscious#and get afraid that I might just sound exaggerating#even if I totally mean it#from the bottom of my heart#I love this woman so much#because I owe her so incredibly much#and I'll never be able to pay it back#ray of sunshine#light indeed#I'll stop rambling#gif set#mine#fedcon

Continuing the posts of my coffee paintings 🙌 This time, it's Éomer's turn, and probably my most action filled coffee painting thus far
I loved working on the armour, though it wasn't the most clear reference shot, since it's straight from the movie.
The best part was being able to gift it to Karl Urban. I brought the painting to FedCon in Germany, but when standing in line for signing, I was told there was barely any time for talking, and no pictures allowed. If I wasn't able to tell him what the painting was, I decided I'd only give him a print. But when I got to his table, he instantly said: "Hold up! What's this?" And I got the chance to explain how I'd painted it with coffee, and if he would like he could keep the original, or just keep a print, since I know he (and every other celebrity) gets a lot of gifts. He said: "You know, I do get offered a lot of gifts, and I really can't keep them all. But I'd really like to have this," which made me so happy to know 🥰 He also mentioned it was his one of his favourite scenes.
He was more than happy to let me snap a picture too, which turned out a bit dark since he was sat in front of a window. And I got an awesome autograph on a print to keep. It was an amazing day, and Karl was absolutely lovely 🫶
Painted with instant coffee on A4 heavyweight paper.

After 3 days of FedCon, the adrenaline is finally wearing off and I’m dead tired but refuse to go to sleep for some unknown reason.
It was great to see old friends again, and meet new ones. We had fun, even when we had to wait in line for a very looong time.
Rick was Rick; charming, patient, funny, and his thoughts were only loosely connected.
Amanda was gorgeous, full of energy, patient, and back to her old self, or rather to a new self. Oh, and she wants “more sex”. (Pls wait until the gifsets and clips drop on the internet because my exhausted brain is not able to get the entire story straight/together from the panel anymore.)
Michael was a bit loud and tried to be funny when he clearly wasn’t but friendly and behaving during the autograph and photograph sessions.
Ben, Teryl, and Tony were funny and charming. I gained a new respect for them.
The old SG-1 gang clearly had a blast.
And so did we.

Few thoughts on Farscape which I started watching from the beginning again because i think when i last started it i must have been having a fever or sth bc i didn’t remember anything
I’m currently on episode 10
- Aeryn + big guns <3
- i firmly believed that Zhaan fucked everyone on the ship
- i’m not a big fan of slime and other fluids coming from a body (blood is okay i guess?) so it’s kinda hard for me to watch anything with Rygel but I might be getting used to is
- i think Moya might be my favorite character (I also love Aeryn, Zhaan and John and Pilot but… Moya <3)
- also Moya pretty <3
Anyways, this time i’m having a good run so i think i might finish Farscape or at least watch the better part of it before FedCon which Ben Browder and Gigi Edgley will be attending :)

*sighs* I usually don't have FedCon blues but this year it's lingering a bit. What a weekend! So happy I got tickets for both days this year: worth every damn penny for Anthony Rapp alone - having him serenade us TWICE with two NON Mark songs was HEAVEN!! (still saying they need Saturday night concerts like other cons have; especially when they have HIM there!)
Anyhow, he was my absolute highlight and the main reason I went! Both his panels were fantastic and well worth attending!
Also: the SNW cast - Melissa Navia is such a delight (despite being jetlagged as HELL!) and I REALLY hope she comes back soon, I need more of her (and possibly a photo because she's amazing!).
Surprisingly (because I didn't really plan on going to it), Todd Stashwick's panel was the first on Sunday morning and it was hilarious! That man was on fire, got gifted THREE Titan's and I've never anyone being happier about (fan)gifts in a while! Such a great start into the day!
Of course it was great seeing MY crew again even though it was rather brief this year! But there's always next year!!!
What else? AR loved my rainbow earrings and said so before our photo which makes me grin just a bit more! Then I got gifted a Tribble from a stranger just because they had them! How awesome is that! Met some lovely people in the queue on Saturday and we chatted away the waiting time.
Went star/polar lights gazing on Saturday night... (in Arthur voice) we failed! No auroras to be seen but we had a blast nevertheless!
Another fantastic weekend in the books!!!
And since the OFMD con was happening at the same time, I naturally had to rep our pirates at a scifi con - as you do!

lmao that reminds me how during my very first convention my friends were approached by rtl (aka a big German broadcaster) and then a very obnoxious and rude journo and his team accompanied us for a whole day. My best friend and I, we kind of made fun of him so we were completely cut from the programme, but my other friends ended up in this very biased and rude tv-segment that eventually got so much backlash that the journo was demoted to doing street interviews. I distinctly remember him asking if my friends "had found their elf princes yet" and then cutting their answers to make them look like complete idiots. I have never seen anything more out of touch and cringe but also actively manipulative and mean-spirited.
This kind of ragebait "journalism" will (sadly) always be a thing though - but it didn't stop gamescom or fedcon or dokomi or the WTG from being successful so hopefully we'll have many more BL fanmeets and events in Berlin and the rest of Germany/Europe soon. 🙏
Oh? Germany? What's it with Berlin as the new European BL hub?
Nvm it's "only" Yin and War and (understandably) non of the other actors. I was very tempted there for a hot minute. 🫠

Anson Mount and Ethan Peck at their Fedcon panel promoting Star Trek: Discovery, Bonn, Germany, June 10 2019
Ethan: That's a good one. We should do, like, a cop thing. Anson: Starsky & Hutch. Ethan: Yeah. They're also different ages? I've actually never seen it. *audience chuckling and making disbelieving noises* Ethan: Did I just make an ‘old’ joke again? I didn't mean to, that's unfair. *laughs*
#anson mount#ethan peck#star trek discovery#star trek#fedcon#*appearance#appearanceedit#*edit#anson just casually sipping his coffee after giving an answer#while ethan is like 'does that mean i'm robin???' :D#i think anson is teasing ethan because he knows one of ethan's dream roles#is batman#i love ethan's '????' face and anson's laugh and the audience reactions#the questions from the audience are so thoughtful and detailed#one of the best panels anson and ethan ever did

I was way too starstruck to even think about taking lots of pictures, but I made sure to at least snap a couple (poor quality ones) of these two.

Though the writer’s strike affects her, Amanda stated at FedCon and LFCC that she takes this summer off from work to spend more time with her daughter and prepare her for university. That was her plan regardless of any strike happening.

The Greatest Night of the Jazz Age
Last Sunday, @ginges-stuff and I attended the matinee of the show. It was a fantastic experience.
The venue is built as a 1930s New York nightclub and offers an authentic atmosphere. There are three stages (one with the band next to the entrance, one in the middle and one behind the bar at the back of the room), several round tables on the floor and additional seating at a little higher pedestal on two sides. We sat at a table with high chairs at the side and had a great view from there.
The show started at 1 pm with Miss Belle Livingstone (Suanne Braun) welcoming everyone and promising the greatest night of jazz, ever. She wore a red dress that flattered her figure and gave the impression of a woman who knows the ins and outs of running a speakeasy. Always a saucy quip on her lips, she worked the room and made sure everyone was having a good time.
Belle and Valaida (the resident singer) took turns exciting the audience with their amazing voices. They were accompanied by four dancers (the spirits) and a fabulous band. Through music, song, and dancing, we learned the story of Belle’s life, her past, her hopes and dreams.
Besides the main attraction, there was another show that was hidden from the obvious eye: the choreography of the waiters and waitresses. Well attuned, they ensured everyone got their drinks and their food in the allotted time windows. However, serving drinks didn't always work out the way it should have. Drinks could be ordered with your phone scanning a barcode that included your table number. Somehow the app changed the table number or used a default because several times, we were asked if we had ordered the cocktail/champagne/wine. If we had been any lesser human beings, we would have said “yes” and gotten free drinks which someone else had paid for.
The three-course-menu was excellent and delicious.
At one point when @ginges-stuff and I were talking about the upcoming Fedcon event and fangirling over Amanda (as usual), Miss Belle came up to us and asked us if we had a good time. We were so surprised by her sudden presence that we could only affirm with a simple, “Yes, we have a great time.” Then, she winked at us and was gone again. And we missed the opportunity to say something funny. The entire day, one quick-witted sentence was stuck in my head, “Miss Belle, you are looking stunning, as stunning as an Egyptian goddess.” I missed my chance, which in retrospect is probably for the best.
At the end of the show, tension built up once again when the police raided the place and caught Miss Belle with a bottle of alcohol. But she didn't stay in prison long, because there was a party to celebrate.
The three hours flew by, and we left the place with a feeling of “Yes, indeed, we had the Greatest Night of the Jazz Age.”
If you have a chance to catch a show with Suanne, do it. The experience is well worth your time and your money.
