So today I met the Harmon siblings, and let me tell you I had such an amazing day.
Richard remembered me from almost two years ago, when I went to my first ever con in Stuttgart, Germany and met him and Bob. I was completely shook that he remembered somebody who was so unmemorable, and because I was in full Octavia cosplay with war paint and all that on my face. He asked why I wasn’t in cosplay today and I told him my wig for my Clarke cosplay didn’t come in time, so he suggested the idea of a gender bender Murphy with purple hair! On my autograph he wrote ‘Purple hair Murphy... think about it.’
And then I met Jess for the very first time. She’s hands-down one of the sweetest, funniest and most down to Earth people that I’ve met and I’m so glad that I finally had the opportunity to meet her. I was at her autograph table for at least a good 10 minutes just having a chat with her about my art, about Richard, and about the lotion that I added to the gift bag that I got for her. We spoke about Dystopia, and how she didn’t even know that she was going to Dystopia until just before they announced it.
We moved on to the photo ops, and my one with Richard was first. It was fast but not rushed, people were still allowed to do poses unlike the first con that I went to. I originally wanted to do a titanic pose with Richard, the iconic one at the front of the boat where Rose has her arms stretched out, and I wanted Richard to be Rose and me Jack. But me being shy I didn’t ask so when I walked up to him he went ‘Hey Lisa’ and pulled me into this cute hug and he’s just so adorable.
For the duo I asked to be sandwiched in between the two of them, and Jess basically shoved me into Richards chest. Richard said ‘I’m gonna stand on my toes so I’m taller than you.’ He literally stood on his toes in every photo during the duos lol, I thanked the two of them and Richard said ‘Thanks Lis’ and I died inside.
And then for my photo with Jess I couldn’t come up with a pose so I asked her to think of one, so she wrapped me up in her scarf, but we had to retake the first one because only half my face was showing. She was like ‘I gotta keep you warm, it’s cold in here!’
But yeah all in all I had a beautiful day today and I can’t wait to see them again next month
Foot tattoo, one out of the many tattoos Jessica Harmon has. This one is a matching tattoo she has with her best friend. It says “the days” in Dutch and each notch is for every time she sees her best friend (that lives across the country). She told me to take a picture of it when I told her I thought this was a brilliant idea and that I wanted to get one with my BFF.
