Loo and then Rupert came to Artist Alley just to say hi to me ❤ How is this my life???
I’m literally writing Loo a note when I look up and see her in front of me! She says hi and shakes my hand and introduces herself (lol as if I didn’t know). Loo insisted on buying a “We Can Do It” shirt even though I had planned to give her one. She also saw my Sherlolly Shirt and I did the full Ask Me About My Ship demo (“So, ask me about my ship! And then I do the flash reveal) and so she got to see the Johnlock too. She thought it was funny and cute.
THEN RUPERT comes in not 20 mins later, sees that I’m with a customer and INSISTS on waiting until my customers are done, even though they were happy to step aside so that he can say hi to me. SO HE STANDS AT THE DOORWAY AND WAITS FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES and I’m going nuts knowing he’s right there and he’s there specifically to see me. THEN when I finish the transaction he comes to me, shakes my hand, and says he got “my message.” I MEAN other people have told him to come see my table and I was like UH here’s a shirt for your wife. (A few weeks ago I communicated with her via @gravesdiggers and she had asked for a Lestrade shirt when I offered, and I was going to hand it to her when I run into her during the Con). I tell him “It’s a shirt with your face on it” and he goes “the last person who needs a shirt with my face on it is her!” 😂😂 So I tell him it’s for the times he’s gone on a shoot 😂😂 He thanks me and makes sure that I actually want to give him one (yes!! Enthusiastically!!). I ask him if HE wants a shirt and he’s like NOPE 😂😂
I AM SHAKING AND CRYING
AHHHHHH I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤

This idea is so brilliant that I’m stealing it.
@conversationswithjohnlock has offered to bid on behalf of someone in the Sherlock fandom who doesn’t have the funds to bid in the @fandomtrumpshate auction. I would like to do the same.
So here’s how it works:
If you would like to bid, but are unable to do so, send me an ask or a message. On Saturday, January 13 at about 7:00 p.m PST, I will choose one person at random. I will contact that person (keep your lines of communication open!) That person will place a bid for any Sherlock-related fic or art or whatever, and I will cover that bid up to a total of $50.
I won’t tell anyone who you are except the FTH people, who will need to see my proof of donation.
I know that $50 isn’t a lot, but there’re still creators with no bids at all.
@conversationswithjohnlock , I hope you don’t mind, but I see this as a win for absolutely everybody.
As of now (Friday evening) I have had no takers on this offer, in case you were considering it.
And there are still a lot of good creators with surprisingly low bids.
@imnova I’m looking at you! And anyone else out there who’s been wanting to get involved with this auction, but just can’t spare the funds right now. This is a generous offer, for a good cause. You’re actually helping people out if you take @bluebellofbakerstreet up on it!
