OH MY FUCKING CHRIST IM WATCHING BLACK BUTLER IN ENGLISH FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I SPIT MY FUCKING DRINK AND SCARED MY CAT JESUS CHRIST WHAT SEBASTIAN FUCCK I JUST I FUCK.

THIS MUTHERFUCKER IS TRYIN TO MAKE ME PREGNANT WHAT

So I didn’t share this story yet but I will.  So, at Anime Detour this year, I made a Sebastian woodburning for the charity auction.  I asked the girl in charge of the auction if I could come by before the con for J. Michael Tatum (Sebastian’s V.A.) to sign it.  She asked guest relations and it was decided that, yes, that would be a good idea.

So I was sitting in the hotel lobby on Thursday night (there was a HUGE SNOWSTORM GOING ON BTW THAT WE DROVE THROUGH) and he walked through the door.  I kinda just sat there like, “Ahahahaha… not moving, no, just… no he’s… no,” because I get really stuttery stupid around guests I like.

So the guy in charge of guest relations walks over and tells him the situation.  Meanwhile, Greg Ayres walks over, and he recognizes me and my partner because he goes to every con in the universe (seriously I adore him) and because we spoke at the “It Gets Better” panel did a few years back.  Greg is like, “Hey ladies,” to me and my partner and we hug and stuff, and THAT’S when Detour’s guest relations guy brings J. Michael Tatum over.  I’m like, “OMG OMG OMG,” and Greg is like, “Hey these ladies are awesome,” right in front of J. Michael Tatum. 

So my brain is like, going into shock, and I kinda just hand him the woodburning to sign.  And he SPAZZES over it, like, “OMG YOU MADE THIS AMAZING!”  Then he posts a picture on twitter (which ironically we had a bunch of people wander over to our table on Friday lol).  Then he hugs me, and I’m like, “OMG HE’S HUGGING ME!”

So I let him pick a coaster he wants, just to have, and he picks the NO H8 Sebastian coaster I had made.  I’m like, “Yeah this topic means a lot to me I’ve been with my partner for 11 years.”  He’s like, “OMG AWESOME I’VE BEEN WITH MY BOYFRIEND FOR 12 YEARS!”  Then he signs my Black Butler boxset and we get a picture together.

BUT THE STORY ISN’T OVER!

So on Sunday we go to the “It Gets Better” panel and he’s on it.  So after the panel (in which I shared my story sort of and just… yeah) I go up to him to tell him how the woodburning did (went up to $115, it started at $50, so I call that a victory) and I get hugged again.  So I’m standing there like, “Uh… so… can I ask a favor?”  He’s like, “Yeah?”  And I’m like, “… can you do the Sebastian voice?”  And I feel really derpy, like, “Der I can’t stop smiling and blushing and can barely look him in the eye but I’M GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH THIS O.K.?!”

So then he leans in.  And whispers into my ear, “Is that an order,” in the Sebastian voice.

And… do you ever feel your face about to melt from how hot it’s getting?  Because that’s what happened to me.  And I kinda just like turned away like, “Lord have mercy on me,” and ducked into my partner’s arms like, “Oh god I’m going to die right now.”  Later, after we left the room, her and my friend were like, “What was that reaction about?”  Because they didn’t hear what he had said.

I told them what he said and they immediately understood.

So that’s my J. Michael Tatum Anime Detour story.  

On and here’s the woodburning in question:

I still wonder who it went home to.  Whoever you are, thank you so much, and I hope it makes you happy  :)

I’m just now learning about it, but I have recently made a clock about it that sold at Anime Detour  :)  Someone bought it, but they took a picture  ^^  I can always make more things from the series  :)

Had a blast!  Sold some stuffs.  Hung with awesome people.  Pimped myself out.  And just… a great time all around.  Thanks for a great time, everyone!  Feel free to message me or poke me or glomp me or whatever if you ran into us (Sewn Together Reflections with woodburnings and things)  

Hi followers!  Here’s a preview of what to expect tomorrow at Anime Detour. I say preview because this isn’t even close to half of it.  Be sure to come visit me (Sewn Together Reflections) and check out what’s there.  Also, feel free to tell me if you’re a follower  :)  Also, the Sebastian woodburning will be in the charity auction, signed by J. Michael Tatum himself thanks to Detour staff being awesome.

Con tomorrow!  One hour of sleep!  Yay!

Sonic dress done!

Designed and made the dress myself for my wifey to wear to Anime Detour 2013 ^__^

SQUEEEEEEE My secret Anime Detour cosplay is done.  Check out that Green Hill Zone on the side.  My babe is the bestest wifey ever  :)  She designed and made the dress herself  ^^  I’ll probably be wearing this on Saturday, but it’s so cute I kinda want to wear it all weekend, lol!

Hello everyone!  Sorry I haven’t been doing much writing lately.  Anime Detour is only 2 weeks away so its crunch time on getting things done for my table.  I thought I’d share some pics of what I’ve been up to.

1.  Shin Megami Tensei tarot card coaster set!  There’s only 8 more left to woodburn, but the picture shows that I, indeed, have every single card that shows up in Persona 3 and Persona 4 :)

2.  Sebastian Michaelish woodburning.  For Anime Detour’s charity auction to hopefully be signed by the voice actor and put up for bid.  His eyes are painted red because he’s “one hell of a…” yeah you know the saying.

3.  Eva unit 01 woodburning.  For sale at my table along with a whole bunch of other things.

4.  Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop.  For sale at my table along with a whole bunch of other things.

Also at the table I’ll have business cards for my book, “Treat Me Kindly,” since they came in a week earlier than expected  :)  I’ll be spending this weekend writing, since I have a short story to look over and edit by Monday.  Whee, busy busy busy!

Message from the writing blog on why the heck there hasn’t been much writing lately.  Look at them crafts, yo!

OMG!  Last woodburning done before the weekend!  Cowboy Bebop, man, where do I begin?  Despite how many times Cartoon Network has played this (are they still playing it?) I still have so much love for this series.  I thought a cool, silhouette of Faye Valentine would be great for a last big woodburning for Anime Detour.  If I magically have time left in the next two weeks I might do another big burning, but I doubt that I will, so Faye is the last one for this con  :)

Picture one:  All finished!  White smoke and all!

Picture two:  Beginning sketch

Picture three:  Woodburned, minus white smoke.

See you in space, cowboy!  Or rather, see you at Anime Detour  ^^

*deep breath*

O.K.  I got terribly distracted with writing and things so I haven’t worked on this in a while, but with Anime Detour coming up soon it’s back to crafting I go  :)  The insane woodburned coaster project commences!

The goal is to get the arcana from Persona 4 (and technically Persona 3) and Persona 4 Golden done in time for the convention (hence why some numbers repeat, like how Souji and Adachi have the 0 slot, ect.) There’s only 4 left to sketch: The Devil, The Sun, the Moon, and the World (I believe that’s what it’s called?)  Then I might do the back of the card as one since I like the way it looks.  So 25 (+1) coasters.

^^;;;

I’ll be selling these individually since I don’t really expect anyone to buy all of them at once, lol, but Detour is April 19th, so I hope to have a finished picture posted by then of ALL of them.

The two pictures here are the coasters so far.  Ten are woodburned and done, the others sketched (since I sketch the image in pencil first then burn over it, everything is done by hand).  To think, this started with the Magician as a test… now it’s pretty out of control!

So um… enjoy?
