All men must die convention - The second edition
I finally have my digital photos and here are some with Joe (+ Jacob, Iwan and one of my friends). I hate myself on those pictures (i feel soooo ugly), but Joe and the boys are amazing ! I’ll post my pics with other cast members later.
I didn’t put watermark on it, but please, don’t repost without credit and don’t cut me off my own pics. Since last week-end, I saw that a lot and it’s not very respectful nor pleasant for the fans. Thank you in advance.
Now, I’m gonna explain you my week-end. It’s going to be long, feel free to not read lmao. As usual, i’m really sorry for my poor english. I write this very quickly, because I have to go to work in one hour ahah
So, as I already said in a previous post, this week-end was magical and Joe was the best.
During the autographs on saturday, while I was waiting for Jack’s, I heard someone calling me by my name. I turned my head and it was Joe ! He remembered me from last year ! He asked me if i was ok and he was like “ok, i’m gonna give you a hug”. He came to me and hugged me so tight, it was so cute.
And when i saw him later, for his autograph, he was amazing. I spent 15 minutes with him (I’m so sorry for the fans waiting behind…) and it was incredible. He gave me so many hugs and he remembered many things from our last meeting. He was still excited about the fanbook i made him last year. He looked at my photobook and was happy to see our photo ops from last year. We talked a lot, about the con, our lives and stuff, it was so chill.
I gave him a gift, a football shirt for his collection and oh my god, he looked like a little boy on Christmas morning ! He seemed genuinely happy and told me many times how amazing it was and how much he loved it ! (Later in the week-end, he told me that he talked about this gift to other fans and that he told to all his friends about it ahah). We had a long talk about football, it was fun ! He wrote my autograph :
I told him my mom was at the con and he was so excited ahah (When i saw him later, for the photo ops, my mom was behind in the queue and he told me : “Is that your mom ? You look just like her” and after that, he called her “mom” the whole week-end, even signed her autographe “to Annette/Mom”, ADORABLE !)
Then, i wanted my Gendry Funko pop signed too and i asked him a Gendrya quote. He went with “I can be your family” and told me “I know it’s an Arya quote, but that scene was so emotional and i loved it”, i was like “awww”.
Then, i had to leave, after my 15 minutes with him ahah. I saw him many times during the afternoon : for his meeting-room, his photo ops, the duo with Iwan, the group picture and the duo with Jacob (he loved the idea of using kazoos lmao). He was always so kind, always had a cute word for me like “nice to see you Estelle” and he even called me “lovely Estelle”.
I saw him after, for the selfie lounge and the VIP moment. During the selfie lounge, I went to see all the other actors and had nice chats with all of them, and I finished with Joe. And when I went to see him, we had an adorable and funny moment.
I wanted a seflie with Jacob and him. But Jacob was sitting with Pilou and Gemma. So Joe, who had already taken me by the waist for our photo, took me to them. All three stared at us, as we came towards them, holding each other’s waist, and Jacob said : “Are you gonna make an annoucement ?”. We laughed and I said that I just wanted a selfie. Jacob replied : “Oh shit, I was hoping for some exciting news” and Gemma said : “I’m so disappointed right now”, it was so funny.
I took my selfies with Joe and Jacob, and then, only with Joe.
After that, the VIP moment started. I literally spent 30 minutes with Joe, talking about a lot of things, like football (yes, again ahah), his home, Nottingham, Notting Hill, Hugh Grant, alcohol, his rosy cheeks (yes, don’t ask me why…..), the con itself, my job, etc. It was incredible, but really simple, like if I was talking to a friend, because he makes you feel so confortable ! We also talked about Gendry’s proposal, it was nice.
After that, i saw him and talked quickly with him at the pizzama party, but i spent most of the time with my friends.
Sunday autographs were quicker, because Joe’s manager asked him and the staff to spent less time with fans. But I still had a good five minutes with him. We talked about our nights, the book, our pictures from saturday, his football shirts collection, etc.
I gave him the letter and the bracelet from @whatmakesmebleed and he was truly happy about him. He immediatly put the bracelet and asked me to take a picture of him for Amber. It was really nice and thoughtful. He also said that he was so sorry to cancel Con of Thrones.
Then, he wrote me the cutest autograph i’ve ever read. When he was writing, the staff member who was next to him looked at me with a big smile, and my friend Johanna, who was behind me, hold my hand so tight. He hugged me and told me he was always happy to see me and that i was lovely.
After that, i saw him again for his meeting room, his photo ops (he made a joke about the proposal pic, about my ring ahah), the duo with Iwan, the group picture and the duo with Jacob. This duo was my last photo op of the week-end and i was really sad. When i told him it was our last moment together, he hugged me and told me again stuffs like “it’s always lovely to see you Estelle” etc., and even Jacob, who isn’t a hugger, hugged me ahah
As all my friends, i was a mess during the closing ceremony and we were all so sad when they left the stage. But then, we had a little surprise. Joe’s manager (who is also the manager of most of the actors who were there) allowed us (people with VIP pass) to come in the selfie lounge room (before it started) to say goodbye to the actors. They were all so cute, they all hugged us, Joe came twice to me to say “bye” and hugged me. I thanked him, he thanked me, it was messy, but it was a perfect way to end the week-end.
And when he left the selfie lounge room, 30 minutes later, i was waiting for my last printed photo op and he waved at me and said “goodbye” one last time.
Now, i have the worst DPC ever, but this week-end was absolutely perfect. I had a blast, all the guests were amazing, nice and funny, and Joe was simply the best.
Sorry for the long text, but I wanted to share that with you. Thanks for reading !!
