SPN NJ is somehow never my favorite con despite being the one closest to home but this year was made so much better by wonderful friends <3

Friend number one chooses to remain incognito and graciously invited me to join their Misha/Ruth op.

I have always wanted one of those Dean hug ops but I never liked that he always looks so somber in them. So I walked up and said “Can I have a Dean hug, but like a happy one?” Jensen contemplated this for a second, like he was trying to figure out what that would look like. And then gave this tiny little smile and said “Yes.” And then I had to basically snuggle and his hand was in my hair and my brain absolutely separated itself from my body, because I walked the wrong way out of the op.

Absolutely adorable Winchester kids photo with my wonderfully talented friend Liz.

Jordan drove all the way from Ohio to join me in NJ just to hug this man. I think it was worth it.

Some serious adorableness going on in this one. 

Jordan needed an “I don't understand that reference” op. Misha delivered. And then promptly broke character to wink at me. Because Misha. 

My big take away from this con is “do more ops with friends” because I’m more relaxed and less in my head and everyone looks so happy. Good times <3

Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need

alright guys, stay vigilant, once again Supernatural New Jersey has rolled around and the chaos gun has come pre-loaded. That con can get unhinged

[were-wolverine]

all i’m saying is… jersey just does things to people. like make them bisexual.

[rainsongdean]

cant believe i started the bisexual misha renaissance. you're welcome. or i'm sorry

[gay-david-tennant]

here's a meme i made to honor all the feet that guy put in his mouth already and in anticipation of future conventions (in New Jersey specifically):

[kidneys-and-custard]

If someone wishes you well before a trip to New Jersey and you don’t see the message until after the trip the absolute best way to deal with that is to wait until you’re about to go to NJ again the following year and then respond like it was that trip they were talking about all along. I learned this from Billy Moran and I’d say it’s almost as iconic as coming out in NJ and then taking it back later on even though WB pressures you not to, which is a trick we all learned from Misha Collins.

SciFi Valley Con, what a weekend!

I need to share this somewhere because it was all so amazing, I'm still a bit dazed .

First, behold this set up, because holy shit was it a lot of work!

So, on to the details. Back in Charlotte, I'd promised both DJ and Ruth tote bags with my Garth & Rowena art, respectively (they'd seen other people carrying them around but I'd sold out before they stopped by looking for one.) Didn't know if they'd actually remember BUT Friday at SFVC was fairly slow so I went to get my autographs and hunt them down. First I went up to DJ who, as soon as he saw the tote bag, came rushing out from behind his table to give me a big hug. "I don't care if it's egotistical I'm carrying this around all weekend!" All Friday he had it out on his table, too, so that it ended up in one of the con's promo videos on Instagram.

Next up was Rick...who was just a doll, taking his time with each and every person! I was just going to get an autograph for myself but as soon as I showed him the painting he was just literally speechless for a while, came around to give me a hug, asked his handler to take that picture he posted on Instagram, I gave him a print and we chatted a bit but I felt bad taking up too much time. (I did go back on Sunday to get an autograph for Mr. Hawkland's office and totally cracked him up with my/our usual request for something mentioning feet, since the hubster is a podiatrist.)

Then I saw Ruth briefly had no line so I dashed over and handed her her bag and she was immediately all "Oh! Oh! Emily, come over here!" (Emily Swallow was signing the next station over.) "This is the artist who has that lovely painting of the two of us I was showing you!"

I'm now like....wait a minute...they're showing each other MY ART?!?!?! I knew Ruth liked the piece — it was the one I did for the femmeslash bang claimed by @father-salmon — Emily immediately slips out from her table where she had a long line and was like, "Hi I'm Emily" to shake my hand and I'm like OMFG I KNOW YOU ARE and they were just both being so sweet I could've cried. Ruth was asking if it would be ok if they made copies of that piece available for signing (like, absolutely?!?! I'M the one skirting the edge selling these prints...) Anyway, Ruth let me pick out a picture to get signed for free, I ran back to my table to get the new Amara piece I'd done signed by Emily and to print her prints of each. And she wouldn't even let me pay for getting it autographed either, just was being so kind, I mentioned how Season 11 is my favorite and how much I've come to enjoy Amara every time I rewatch and then she wouldn't let me leave without a hug. *sob* Saturday morning she even stopped by the table to look at more of my stuff up close and tell me how Ruth was carrying her bag around everywhere.

Oh and Sunday morning before we opened for the day, I'd just set up and stepped out to get something to drink, come back in and Mark Sheppard is at my table by my Crowley prints and postcards talking with his handler. He was like "Yeah I've signed a lot of these" and was surprised the big banner print hadn't sold yet (so was I). He actually remembered signing the original paintings back in Pittsburg 2-3 years ago, I do not know how he remembers these things.

Anyway. Sales were kind of meh since the crowd was only very partially an SPN crowd BUT I cannot remember having such wonderful interactions with guests/actors ever like this. It's a little freaky because it hit that the Creation con regulars (DJ, Ruth, Mark) definitely know & remember me. And I guess that's a good thing? I suppose we'll see how it all unfolds next year as this was my last con for 2024 (next year I'm planning on doing SPN Boston, New Jersey, Novi, Philly and maybe Chicago too.)

WALKING DEAD: DEAD CITY in NEW JERSEY We’ve been getting a ton of requests to do a special convention saluting this great show. We would tentatively do this event in New Jersey, let us know if you are interested so we can pursue!

Are they going to give JDM his own convention, now?

Huh... I guess his SPN-con sales must be good enough for CE to consider giving him his own convention. I wonder if that was the plan all along... either by CE or JDM. Could this mean JDM won't be doing SPN cons in 2025? Or would he do both? If he doesn't do SPN, Jensen and CE will have to find some other headliner for those cons, otherwise he's stuck with Misha, and we saw how well that sold (or didn't, lol).

I do applaud CE for finally thinking outside the box this year and reaching out to other fandoms. They finally saw the writing on the SPN wall (a year too late) and realized they would need other income streams.
