Vico and Nathan, highlights #3

Q. Who would be your top 3 dinner party guests, dead or alive?

Vico said the first name that came up for them was Aubrey Plaza as they recently watched Agatha All Along. Nathan asked if she’s a celeb crush for Vico who said yes 100%, she’s so funny and witty and smart. Vico said they recently watched a movie that Aubrey wrote, produced and acted in called My Old Ass and was gushing over an emotional scene where she has just one perfect tear and Vico said they were watching it like ugh, fuck you, you are so beautiful. Nathan then had to clarify whether the name of the movie was My Old Ass or Mild Ass as he couldn’t quite tell.

Vico’s second choice was a Puerto Rican poet called Julia de Burgos who they find incredibly inspiring, and said that there was a lot of speculation that she was sapphic, although of course there’s the people going with the ‘they were roommates!’ version of events as well.

Their third choice was Janelle Monae, and Nathan said that sounded like a perfect combination, then was like, a dream blunt rotation, then claimed not to have any idea what that meant.

Nathan said going back to an answer he’d given the day before, he loved Ella Fitzgerald and is fascinated by her life, so he’d want to have dinner with her even though he thinks she’d probably find him super annoying as he’s such a huge fan.

Then he asked the audience if anyone knew who Rik Mayall was, and was surprised that loads of people cheered because he forgot for a minute that he was in the UK. Vico was like, well I have no idea who that is, and Nathan said Rik was his greatest comedy icon and inspiration, and that he grew up obsessed with The Young Ones and Bottom which he said he thinks is pretty obvious in his work. He said Rik was one of the very few celebrity deaths that he really felt properly sad about, along with Victoria Wood. So he said he’d want to invite both of them, and maybe throw Tina Fey in as well.

Vico said that was a good combo, and Nathan was like, Ella Fitzgerald would probably just be sat there thinking what is happening?? but those would be his choices.

Come make friends on Our Con Means Death!!

Does anyone going to MCM in London for the OFMD panel know whether the panel room being full is likely to be an issue? I have bought a standard ticket for the day and plan to get there as soon as it opens (or earlier and wait). I don't mind not getting a good seat but i'm stressing about too many people being there for me to get any seat. Plus, i'm not very familiar with cons and haven't been to a panel at one before. Does MCM selling only limited tickets make this not an issue? I've tried asking this on Twitter and asking MCM but got zero (0) notice. Would greatly appreciate inisght from people who've been to con panels before pleaseee

I have so many thoughts but I at least want to address the "for the new unicorn" note. because first of all it's so incredibly gratifying for izzy to finally be accepted into a community. it was shown before that the crew cares for him in some way but it was the first time he really saw that. that he isn't useless and alone, that he still has a place on the ship. even more so the crew WANTS HIM to be on the ship. and also that they want him to embrace his disability which doesn't make them think any less of him.

but also the choice of words. because inherently it rings queer, unicorn as a symbol of queerness. and even if it may have a negative sound when you use it differently here it is extremely positive. izzy is not only accepted to the crew, he's also accepted to the queer community, to the family. the unicorn on the revenge was also the one that was leading the ship, so one can argue that they want him to take that role in their dynamic.

and you can see that he does so immediately. he puts himself together and starts helping the crew. he's still bitchy but no longer violent and cruel. he helps stede and lucius immensely because that is what he does now. he's part of the family. twat.

me, on the mic at the NYCC OFMD panel: Hi all! Lovely to see you, but this question is actually just for Nathan…

Nathan: [flounces in a “that’s right bitches” sort of way] Yeah no they’re fine, go on.

Me: So, Nathan. Speaking as the only person who has kissed 3 people on this stage [pauses briefly for audience reaction then barrels on] who is the best kisser and why is it Con O’Neill?

Nathan: [immediately regretting everything]

Vico: [clapping & dying of laughter]

Matt: [blushing & chuckling]

Con: [leaning back with a cocky smirk] Answer it, Nath
