On the YA Crush Tourney and Comic Con

Some of you may know that during the 2012 YA Crush Tourney, my boy, Will Herondale, made it all the way to the finals just to lose by 30-some votes in the last half hour to Adrian Ivashkov.
It was traumatic and heart-breaking and just talking about it is giving me traumatic flashbacks so let's not.

And as if that weren't bad enough, the same thing basically happened this year as well!

grrrrrrr.....

Richelle Mead totally threw down the gauntlet and promised a Dimitri-POV scene from book 1 if he won. Cassie Clare followed up by promising the cave scene from CP2 in Will's POV if he won.

But. He. Didn't.

Bitter? Who? Me? YES.

Darn you, Richelle Mead and your tempting temptations. To all the people who didn't vote for Will: imagine me giving you the Look of Disappointment. Uh-huh. I hope you're happy with yourselves. *hisses*
Dimitri had a constant lead of about 500 votes so it wasn't like the loss came out of nowhere and I didn't see it coming. BUT STILL.
U G H
My poor shadowhunter baby.

If it were any other fictional boy that Dimitri had been up against (and really, I mean any other character at all), I would not be this upset.
But- Will Herondale. You guys know how protective I get of him.

So. Congratulations, Dimitri. I guess.

still bitter.... I am a bittermelon

All I can say is that the extra POV scene better be good......
I'm still holding out hope for next year, though! I WILL SEE WILL HERONDALE WIN THAT DARN CRUSH TOURNEY IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO.
And they do say that the third time's the charm. *fingers and toes crossed*

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT COMIC CON.

AGAIN.

This year's SDCC is probably the best one that I've never been to. Let's list the reasons why, shall we?

• X-Men Days of Future Past entire cast
• Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss (the trolls....) + A SHERLOCK PANEL
• Benedict Cumberbatch's adorable video (brb sobbing)
• TMI PANEL (aksjdhflaksdjhf)- EVEN GODFREY GAO WAS THERE
• Robert Sheehan being his adorable geeky self and his camera
• Game of Thrones cast
• New Catching Fire trailer!!!!
• Colin O'Donaghue being his perfect Irish self
• Veronica Roth + Divergent cast
• Karen Gillan shaving her head! O__O
• Avengers. Avengers. All things Avengers
• Superman and Batman in a movie?!?!!?
• HUGH DANCY IN A FLOWER CROWN (way to go, Tumblr! #fannibal)

If you have no idea what I'm talking about in the bullet points then chances are you haven't been shamelessly stalking the internet for Comic Con updates. Good for you. I don't recommend doing this because it is literally painful each time you see something awesome that you're missing out on.

But here's the thing: just as I was starting to accept the fact that I'm not at this super awesome event, THIS GUY SHOWS UP:

LOOOOOOKI!!!

........

Tom Hiddleston shows up in full Loki attire to introduce new Thor 2 footage...

1. No

2. No

3. N o

4. NOPE

5. NOoOOOOOoO

I. Will. Never. Get. Over. This.

Goodbye, cruel world.

*crawls into a corner and sobs*
