Guess who saw three of the prettiest boys in the world today? That's right, me!
I went to the first Aussie Supernatural convention "All Hell Breaks Loose" and it was incredible!
I need to get this down before I lose it all because it was all so fantastic that I don't want to forget a single thing! Although I'm certain I already have. It's okay though, I'll refresh my memory once the DVDs are in. And I really want to remember because all three of them did and said some hilarious things.
The most important thing: I saw Misha Collins in person and he was even more fantastic than I ever could have imagined. Honestly, nothing could have prepared me for how relaxed and friendly he was. Whether talking on stage to a room full of rowdy fangirls (and the odd sprinkle of non-girly people) or one on one in the photo and autograph sessions, he was just so natural. He was easy to talk to. There was no awkwardness or anything. I mean, sure at the back of my mind there was the inevitable 'OMG IT'S CASTIEL!!!' squee that I can't repress, but he was genuinely nice. Very easygoing and just so down to earth.
The photo session was just a blur! We shook hands and I told him that he was taller than I expected - I suppose when you're up against Jensen and Jared, height is really hard to gauge :P - and he said that it was okay, he'd just duck down for me. Then I got a cuddle, a photo and practically floated away. It was just so fast!
He was the first one to talk on-stage. I can't even begin to remember anything he actually said, but he spoke clearly, he made jokes, he engaged the fans and answered the questions. And the man is absolutely hilarious - and mildly geeky. We got a whole hour of listening to him talk, but honestly, he could've nattered on all day and I wouldn't have minded.
Afterwards there were autographs. At first I wasn't planning on getting an autograph for myself, but after meeting him during the photo session, I was so blown away that I couldn't resist. This was where I got to talk to him - like, really talk to him. It was only for a few minutes, but he remembered me as the 'short girl'. I got to shake his hand again and he signed my autographs. There was some mindless chatter in regards to my two autographs, and then he smiled and said thanks. I got to look into those eyes! He was absolutely adorable and he looks really good in person! The second autograph session was later on in the day and he remembered my goddaughter and her firm handshake. I got to shake his hand yet again and I told him that it had been absolutely fantastic to meet him. And he smiled again and I almost melted right into my shoes.
I saw him once more close up when I got my last minute Jensen autograph - yes, Jensen's eyes are as gorgeous in real life as they are in the pictures, in case you're wondering. My goddaughter and I were waiting in line and we were standing in front of Misha. Jensen and Jared were signing autographs but Misha had finished, and he was sitting there being all cute and stuff, and then Raquel told him that he had someone waiting for him and he picked up his pen and did the smiley thing (cue melting). He is just so adorable!
I went in obsessed with Castiel and came out completely in love with Misha. I still love Castiel of course, possibly even more than I did before, but the person behind the angel just knocked me sideways. I wasn't expecting him to be so marvellous. Words cannot describe how incredible the experience actually was.
They were screening unaired (in Australia) episodes in between the talks and autographs and photos and stuff - I'd already seen them all but it was fun to watch with a bunch of people. There was cheering when the boys did cute things (and when there was demon torture of the Ruby variety), ooooohs and aaaaahs at the blood and stuff, and laughter at the silly bits. Naturally, there was also catcalling at the sexy stuff.
Jared and Jensen were both cute and scruffy and they were very cute on-stage together. Jensen was very pretty and more quiet than I'd expected, but Jared more than made up for it by being completely hyper. They were both very nice though, and diplomatic when it came to discussing things like the girls on the show and awkward questions. They did some silly things; Jared had everyone in stitches with his antics with the Fantales and Jensen made an 'I'm with stupid' t-shirt (that pointed to Jared) for the charity auction. Misha was delightfully adorable when he came back onto the stage at the end.
Even as it was happening it all felt a bit surreal. One second you're watching an episode of Supernatural on the big screen and then the next the boys are standing there talking to you or you're getting your picture taken with Misha Collins. I don't think it's really sunk in yet, even though it's over. On some level I still can't believe it, not really, but I'd do it all over again in a second!
