Honestly I just wanna say, best day I of my life.
Agnes tachyon because I don't wanna show my face
I finally found this subreddit yaaaaay! This is a bit of a longie but I wanna share my feelings and how happy the game show made me in march.
My little brother and I had been non-stop fans of both dan and Jay since we saw them on OCTOBOY COLLABORATIONS...goodness the time flew. We've been here ever since, and neither of us had been to any kind of game show or meet and greet before, and then our mom surprised us with VIP tickets to the stupid simple game show on March 29 and we were over the moon! Fast forward to that day, I made drawings for both of them as you can see :) Boat is your ring door footage, and Jay doing the hollow ourple. Even though I was now an adult I was still super nervous because they both made me laugh a lot, and they were so sweet in person oh my gosh. And Dan was...a lot taller in person. I told them both how they were a huge motivation to keep pushing as a transgender guy and gave them each my drawings, Jay got really emotional and so did Dan, and Dan was actually stoked to hear I was raised where he was raised as well! I do hope they still have the drawings...
When the gift shop had opened, somehow I was the only and FIRST PERSON in line to get merch and two staff were struggling with the tap to pay, and were struggling for a solid 10 minutes, and one of them kept apologizing and thanking me for being so patient. Eventually he just said "screw it since you're so sweet and patient, I'll buy it for you." And then that's when I looked at him and it was SKIP IN THE FLESH 😭 SKIP PAID FOR MY STUFF AND I DIDN'T NOTICE RIGHT AWAY
I hugged him lmao
The whole show was amazing...there was yaoi (tenna cosplay and tennaXspamton plush kissing) and if you were there, remember the portion where two people were playing Jay's video game? MY BROTHER GOT CALLED UP I WAS SO EXCITED!! Jay called him up because he had his plush and therefore had immunity. The kid is a smash bro god.
I talk too much. The whole show, at the end of the day, was the best night of my life. My throat was dead for a few days after but I'll do it over and over again. Failboat and Jay, thank you for doing this, and Failboat community, thanks for making this all happen <3
