Also, it is good to know that I'm not the only one who writes "peeps be like".

Also, Den's not THAT scary. Except to that one VA...

And then I introduced you to the Yuusha saga... GIANT ROBOTS!!! :D


lol Yeah... *gears up for story time* I'm putting it behind a spoiler, so you can click at your own discretion, but be advised this happened 10 years ago, and I've grown up a LOT since then. also, don't be drinking anything whilst reading.

So I was at my very first convention ever, in the fall of 2005. At the time, I was OBSESSED with the original Fullmetal Alchemist, and with one of the voice actors, Vic Mignogna. He happened to be one of the guests at this particular convention, and over the course of the second day, I'd managed to gather a group of fangirls of his together...

Now bear in mind, the convention center was HUGE. The Dealer's room had literally hundreds of vendors and artists and booths. Big, echo-y room. Keep that in mind. It will come up again shortly.

I lead my group of like-minded fangirls into the dealer's room once someone got the idea to see if Vic was in the dealer's room... Still not sure whose idea it was. Upon spotting him sitting at one of the tables and signing autographs, I let out a squee so loud and high pitched that it silenced the entire dealer's room, and it ECHOED.

And then I lead the fangirl charge. I was clad all in black, and at the time, my hair was dark brown, nearly black, as well. And I'm no dainty little thing. So picture this big huge, scary gothic-looking girl leading at least 20 other screaming fangirls right at you. That's what happened.

Vic, who happens to be a fairly tan guy, went PALE, grabbed the bodyguards on either side of him, and used them as meatshields.

And that's the story of how I traumatized a voice actor. He still told the story years after, and I haven't been to a convention he's at since, because I fell out of the FMA fandom, but I someday want to go to one, and ask him about it, just to go "Yeah, that fangirl who lead the charge? That was me. How ya been?" just for his reaction.
