#german comic con frankfurt

[caesarflickermans]

brainrot, but I'm pretty sure we are going to get the Sunrise on the Reaping cover for the US version October 17th.

Because the German version will be revealed on October 18th, 14 o'clock—8 AM for New York—and I think Scholastic wants to have the US cover be the first we see.

They also happen to be at New York Comic Con, which just so happens to start October 17th, and which just so happens to be the place they did a cover reveal for tbosas.

(Images in order: Scholastic booth mentioned on this year's nycc website; announced cover reveal for the German version at Frankfurt book fair on Oct 18, 2 PM GMT; tbosas book cover revealed at 2019 nycc)

I went to the German Comic Con in Frankfurt yesterday and got to meet Robin Lord Taylor, Sean Pertwee, Drew Powell and Erin Richards! I also got an autograph from Robin, got to talk to all four of them (gave them tiny presents!) and visited a Q&A panel with them. The amazing @robinllordtaylor was there too - and we spent almost the whole day together!! (with an irl friend of mine joining us)

As I have a lot to tell about this wonderful experience, you can read more under the cut! But to summarise: I had a great time and the Gotham cast is precious, as always.

The first event to take place was the picture with Robin. Julia (robinllordtaylor) and I met about half an hour before that. The photoshoot turned out to happen earlier than expected (because they changed the schedule) but we managed to get there in time! I asked Robin if I could “arrest” him on the picture and if he could make a shocked expression....well, this is how it turned out to be! Really happy with the result.

Next came the picture with Erin. I made the same pose with her but sadly blinked on the first picture. The photograph allowed me to take a second one (in which I didn’t blink!) but the person that was responsible for the digital version of the pictures put the wrong one on my USB stick. Still salty about that but, well, mistakes happen.

Then, we took our pictures with Sean. I made that certain pose with him because Alfred is a good character (so there’s no need to arrest him, haha)! The photoshoots were pretty rushed by the way, so I didn’t really get the chance to talk to them.

However, that all changed when we decided to get an autograph by Robin in-between Sean’s and Drew’s photoshoot! The line was pretty long and Robin was on lunch break while we joined the line - but the wait was worth it. I’m from Austria and prepared Mozartkugeln (a famous sweet over here) for all four of them. But I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to give them to the actors without buying an autograph, so I decided to gave all four of them to Robin.

Well, I got my autograph (you can see it here), told him how much I love Gotham and explained that I came to Germany from Austria. But, as I wanted to give him the sweets, he made a shocked expression and said “Why don’t you give it to them by yourself??” He then pointed at Drew (who was sitting right next to him) and went “Drew is so nice, he won’t harm you! You don’t have to be scared!! And Erin loves chocolate - go give it to them now!!” I swear, it was sooo funny and sweet of him to say that!

(My friend, who has seen the first episode of Gotham a few days ago, also got an autograph from him - and Julia did, too! Her interaction with him was absolutely beautiful, I really hope that she’s going to talk about that one on her own blog soon. It was so great to see her, and Robin’s, reaction! He also said “Tschüss!” (”bye” in german) after the autographs!)

After he was done with writing the autograph, I quickly followed his advice and went right to Drew, as there was currently no one getting an autograph from him. I explained that I had a tiny present for him, from my country, and he confessed that he really wants to go to Austria someday. “Do you live in Salzburg?” - “No, but I only live one hour away from it!” He was really happy about the sweets.

Erin’s line was a bit longer. She loved the sweets and already knew them - and she told me that she has already been in Salzburg! I asked her whether she visited Mozart’s birthplace to which she said yes! I also talked about Gotham with her and told her how awesome her white fur coat in the new promo looks. I was pretty shocked when she told me that the show had originally rented that coat, as it was worth “20 grand”. Sadly, Erin accidentally burned some of it - and they had to pay for the whole coat! I feel pretty sorry for her, despite it being a very interesting story.

I also gave Sean some Mozartkugeln. He knew them already and told me that he loves them! He also mentioned that his aunt and cousin live in Germany and that he visits them sometimes. It was wonderful getting the chance to talk to all of them and I’m very thankful for the staff for letting me do so without buying an autograph (the autographs are pretty expensive). One staff member even said “aww that’s so cute!

After the autographs session, we got our pictures with Drew. He was in another photo booth, that’s why the background of his picture is a bit different! His expression on that picture was amazing. Afterwards, I got the USB stick with the digital versions of the photos.

The last event was the Q&A panel. We arrived about 20 minutes earlier and got pretty normal seats (they were pretty narrow, though!). The panel was about half an hour long and they answered questions by the fans. I was the second one to ask a question! “What did you enjoy most about working with Ben McKenzie as a director?”, as I read that he directed one of the upcoming episodes and figured that it was a question that they would enjoy answering. A professional was filming the panel, so I really hope that it will be uploaded to YouTube soon, which is why I won’t state all of their answers here. The short version: They loved it because Ben, playing the main character on Gotham, knows that show better than anyone else and because he got the fellow actors well and gave them a lot of freedom for that episode! He will probably direct more episodes in the future.

I also met great cosplayers at that convention - Arkham!Ed and Arkham!Oswald were my faves - and bought some merch and comics. Here’s a list of what I bought:

Batgirl Vol. 1: The Batgirl of Burnside (for my cousin, she loves Batgirl but hasn’t read any comics so far)

LEGO figures of the Joker and Superman (for my other cousin, he’s four years old and obsessed with LEGO Batman)

Gotham City Sirens Vol. 9 and Vol. 10 (because they seem to have the Riddler in it - also: Harley, Selina and Ivy!!!)

a black t-shirt with the Riddler on it

Batman-themed badges (Batman, Catwoman, the Riddler and a question mark)

japanese pocky sticks (always wanted to try this snack)

a plush Ryuk and L keychain (they were in a Death Note happy bag)

Overall, I am so thankful for this experience! This was the first comic con that I ever went to and I’m so glad that it turned out to be a wonderful day. Julia was so nice and sweet irl, it was so cool having someone to talk about Gotham and the cast with irl! She is also going to meet the cast again in May (at the Heroes and Villains convention in Londn!) - including Cory, my favourite cast member. Weeks before the con, she offered me to give him a letter from me, so I wrote that one a few days ago and gave it to her yesterday!! She’ll deliver it to Cory and I’m so thankful for that!

The only criticism that I have with the convention is Frankfurt’s convention area itself. It was very hard to find the entrance to the con because everything there is so big and confusing (worse than any airport I’ve ever been to). Otherwise, I really enjoyed it! (sorry for writing so much about this!!)

Gotham cast at comic con

All the cast members are so awesome omg. We got in line for an autograph from Robin and he was so super sweet i cant. He told us our cosplays looked great (we went as nygma and oswald) and was just generally really awesome. We met him again afterwards and asked for a hug and he was really really kind.i cant believe we got to hug him. At the panel, he recognized us and told everyone that we're cosplaying nygma and oswald. My nygma asked him if he thinks that oswalds step brother would have succeeded in seducing him rather than the step sister. He gave an in depth answer thah no, he does not think he would as oswald at that time is more of an asexual character, at this point in the series he only cares abot his family, his father and the step brother would have as little a chance as the sister had. Drew made the panel hilarious to watch. At one point they were asked which scenes were their favourites to film and Robin and Erin both talked about how they like scenes thar they can relate to in actual life or that they have somehow experienced before. Drew agreed to that...and then promptly told us his favourite scene was the bazooka scene because he can totally relate to that . Afer the panel we walked by the autograph area and since no one was in line for drew we went there to talk for a bit.during the panel we heard him tring to read the print on our shirts (we had printed "straight outta arkham" on them) and he actually regonized us and went "oh hey its you guys! Thanks for coming by" and asked us which part of germany we're from. He also found the print quite funny. Drew is just awesome~ we told him we just wanted to tell him that he was super funny at the panel and thank him for coming to germany, and he went "you only think i'm funny cuz u havent spent much time with me. Ask her, shes been here with me for 8 hours" and nodded to the staff member sitting next to him. And she just went "8 hours is already enough". Drew then told us a couple of german words he learned and thanked us for coming by to see him . We also thanked him and wanted to leave , but then he told us to wait and grabbed a small paper. He then proceeded to tell us "have a nice day" in german. He was really adorable and so enthusiastic about speaking german! He's awesome! The entire cast is awesome! Hopefully there will be videos of the panel up soon

My memories from OUAT NJ

Photo ops:

Emilie: "Hello Darling! I didn't know you'd be here!" 😍

Me: "Yeah I wanted to surprise you."

Emilie: "what will we do?"

We did a hug, a heart and then Emilie said: "do you want one with teeth?"

Me: "OMG of course!!!" And we did.

Then I grabbed my sheet saying "forever grateful for her" and she smiled about it and asked: "do we have another one? Because I have an idea!" after the pic when I held the sheet in her direction she grabbed it and turned it around so it showed to me. I'm almost crying in the pic because I nearly did!!

Meet&Greet:

Emilie was asking everyone where they're from and just added some small stories she experienced at the places. Like when she had her shooting in the wedding dress, which wasn't her own (my question), she got a bite. Then we talked about how one girl in the group turned after a bite allergic to meat. Also when she started to ask where we're from she straight looked at me and said: "I know you're not from around here!" 😍 When it was my turn I said "I came from the Red Inn" and it must have sounded like a hours motel lol because she got dirty about it "how is it?" and I said "horrible" 🤣 I then said I'm from Germany and Emilie asked where exactly and if they're doing Cons in Frankfurt. I said there once was a German Comic Con, but they didn't do it again, they do more in other cities. "I've been once in Germany... Where was that..." me: "In Bonn... When I was in Barcelona" 😢

We also talked a lot about leaves. How beautiful they are in autumn everywhere. There's this leave peepers thing in Boston which we laughed a bit about. Vera wanted Emilie to do leave peeping with her. Cuuuteeee. 🥰

Then she asked what Tik Tok is about. @juleswritesblog explained it's about lip syncing songs. I said she can do that and she said something like "to finally be good" and I was agreeing. 🤣 She wished everyone a lot of fun at the concert tonight. @betsypaige22 and me were like "no you, no us!" 🤣 (but seriously she's so shy about singing because she thinks she's bad at it, it breaks my heart 💔)

Emilie has one indie movie to shoot, but doesn't want to announce before the official announcement. And also a TV show next year. She said she'd move to NYC to film, but not like Texas where she doesn't have a community yet. I asked her if she'd film in another country. Emilie: "Like Europe? Yeah like for a mini series. They're doing more of them. I think it's so hard to keep a show interesting for over 22 episodes. I like the short series." Betsy said then "we miss you on our TV screens" and Emilie kinda sarcastic "I'm sorry!" 🤣

Assistant at the end of the M&G: "Okay, it's time to take pics with her."

Me: "and if I don't want one?"

Em: "then you just walk out of this door and be gone!"

Me: "okay" *pretending to leave* lol

Then I went first and said "see, now I'm even first" and we hugged very tightly ❤️❤️❤️

Autographs:

Emilie: "Hello again! Who's that for?"

Me: "it's a guy from Twitter, I don't know him..."

Emilie: "you don't know him??" 😏

Me: "no, it's a giveaway and I posted a pic of Lost and asked what episode it is and he answered in like 5 seconds which episode and what happened and I was like "I didn't even ask that" " 😂

Emilie giggled.

Emilie to a painting which was my next item to get signed: "Oh that's beautiful! Did you buy it?"

Me rambling: "yes that's the artist (pointing at the name on the pic). And it's for me."

She started to sign 'For' and said: "Oh you want me to write your name?!" 🤣 sure!

I gave her a rainbow pen for Vera. "She loves rainbow colors!" - me: "I know, that's why I brought it." 🤷🏽‍♀️😂

Emilie: "Good to see you, my love. Have a safe trip back."

hard at work at German Comic Con frankfurt

but I had a great team so....

[incblackbird]

Dortmund Comic Con

going to a convention as a “special guest” is a crazy experience for sure. I didn’t even know I was listed on the website as a special guest until @janiedean pointed it out to me and then I was kind of like “aaaaaaaaaaah wtf”

I had a stand with some other Game of Thrones related people. a Guy who sells a book about Brienne that he wrote and a couple who make GOT cosplays but are also involved in other ways, apparently they interviewed the cast at premiere’s for the German media, so yeah I heard some interesting stories about their experiences with the GOT cast.

I had two panels and the first one on saturday was a complete disaster, I was so nervous! But some people asked me questions about Theon and Viserys and my answers were apperantly convincing cause right after one guy from the audience immediatly walked up to me and bought a book right then and there.

The panel on sunday went a lot better, my friend who works at the con told me that two girls had come there asking for me specifically, and the rest of the audience was very intersted as well so it was easier for me to speak, because I noticed that everybody as was actually interested. and straight after the panel I sold two books to people who had listened to me. One of those two girls who had asked for me came with me to my stand and we had a lovely conversation about Theon, when she bought the book she asked if I could sign it. I think I turned red then, it was a kind of a weird experience but I was so flattered.

overal it was an amazing and very repeatable experience. I’m going to go to all the cons in Germany for sure. that is Frankfurt in May, Munich in september and Berlin in Oktober. In addition I might do two cons in the netherlands, in Rotterdam in March and Amsterdam in September, but I don’t have a confirmation on that yet. I’m gonna look for other cons as well but these are all from the same organisation so that’s easy for me.

For those of you who want to buy my book online, I’m not going to sent them myself, because that’d turn out too expensive I believe, But there’s an option for printed copies on amazon that I’m going to try to figure out. Whenever I have, I will make a post about it. Since I have the pdf it shouldn’t take me too long I think.

What was it like when you met Erin? :D

I met her at the German Comic Con in Frankfurt and gave her some sweets! I was kinda nervous tho and didn’t really know what to say to her, so I told her that I loved the white fur coat that she was wearing in “the new promo” (that was while s3 was on hiatus, in April)

Erin replied that she loved wearing it! she also told me that the show rented that costume - because it was worth “ten grand” amd because they only needed it for a single episode. however, a part of the coat accidentally got burnt during production…which means that the company/studio had to buy the entire coat and lost ten thousand dollars.

sadly, I do not have any sources to support this statement (as I didn’t record my conversation with her), only this post that I made about my experiences in Frankfurt: http://3dnygma.tumblr.com/post/159896507261/i-went-to-the-german-comic-con-in-frankfurt

at firat, I was wondering whether it was alright to share this piece of information - but then again, it’s not a scandal or anything like that, just an accident that happened on set. and if it was confidential, Erin wouldn’t have shared it in the first place :) hope that answered your question, anon!

My story of meeting Robin Lord Taylor

So, this weekend I was at the German Comic Con in Frankfurt, where I met not only Robin, Erin, Drew and Sean but also the absolutely lovable and sweet Eva ❤️

We had our first photoshoot with Robin on Saturday and since I’ve never been to a Photo OP at a Con before I was surprised at how fast everything goes. I had barely time to mentally prepare myself for standing next to Robin.

Well, and then it was my turn...and he was so nice! He smiled and shook my hand and asked how I was and then we already took our picture together (where I look beyond fucking awkward lmao)

Then later, after we got most of our other photoshoots with the cast, it was our turn to stand in line for Robin’s autograph. I was so nervous ... I watched as Eva and her friend met Robin and then it was my turn ...

I walked up to his table and he immediately greeted me with a smile and extended his hand.

He said how nice it’s to meet me, and I think I said the same thing back to him lol. Then I apologized for how nervous I was and he just held my hands and told me that it was okay. 

Then, he pointed at my Star Wars shirt.

Robin: I love your shirt! Me: Thank you! Have you seen the new trailer? Robin: *grins* Oh yeaaah! Me: I’m so excited! Robin: Me too!  Me: I just hope Luke won’t die. Robin: *laughs* Oh yeah! *knocks on table*

Then I gave him my little gift: a little bag full with traditional german sweets in it. He was super happy about it and thanked me and immediately began skimming through the bag.

Me: I hope you like german candy!

Robin: Oh yes! european candy is so much better! American candy isn’t so good *makes a thumbs down gesture*

Me: Yes, I’m sorry but it’s true, european candy really is the best. Especially german :D I think Kinder Eggs are even forbidden in the US?

Robin: Oh yes because small kids can like choke on them or something, but well... I don’t have small kids so *laughs*

Then some guy who worked at the Con (I think?) said something about the Kinder Eggs to Robin but I didn’t understand a word lol

When Robin turned his attention back to me, I was finally brave enough to tell him what I’ve been wanting to the whole time.

Me: I also wanted to tell you that I really admire you and everything that you do and that you’re so outspoken on important issues, it means a lot. Robin: Thank you so much that is so great to hear. Me: And you really inspire me and even helped me to come out. 

Robin then gave me the sweetest smile and put his hand on his chest before reaching for my hands (that were shaking so bad at this point fuckkk) again and taking them in his.

Robin: What’s your name? Me: Julia Robin: *squeezes my hand* Thank you so much for telling me that, Julia. 

I was a mess at this point and on the verge of crying and like the thing is...I think I saw Robin’s eyes getting a tiny bit wet as well...but maybe my judgement was a bit clouded or was literally blurry from my own tears lmao but anyway...this moment was just so moving. For me, personally. I can’t describe it. It was such a sweet and honest gesture and I really adore this man for all the kindness and love he’s putting out there in this world.

Then while I pay for the autograph I got to tell him how excited I am for Oswald’s musical number. And he pulled a little face, laughed and went “Ohhh god, yes...” lol  And he then thanked me again and I thanked him and he said “Have a great time, Julia!”

And this is what he wrote on my autograph...

‘Love + Light’ :’) 

--

Then on Sunday I had the chance to get another photo with Robin. I was wearing my Oswald shirt today and Robin immediately said “Hey, I love your shirt! :D” when it was my turn. We shook hands again and then I told him what pose I wanted and this is the result ...

This weekend was the best.  Getting to meet someone who’s such a source of positivity and inspiration in my life was truly an amazing experience. Robin is a real life angel and the sweetest nicest person to walk on this earth probably. 💜
