oozora-no-criss:

It’s 2018

and I am still waiting for Nezushi reunion.

Storytime:

The year is 2017, the place is Anime Iowa.

Greg Ayres is going to be there. I have seen him before. Everyone who has ever been to an anime rave has seen him before. This never lessens my joy in seeing this treasure of a man.

The last time I met Greg, I had him sign OHSHC merch of mine. But this time? I want to give him appreciation for one of my favorite anime series of all time.

I had a No. 6 print for him to sign, but I left it at home. I NEED Greg to know how much I loved this series. I get an amazing Nezushi commission from @pinkstarpirate (please commission them, they’re amazing).

I go into Greg’s line, and he seems fairly quiet. Smiley, as always, but quiet. He’s signing Monokuma this and Nagisa that, and THEN, I drop this picture in front of him and he shouts, at full volume:

“YES! THIS IS WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED!” And he points at Nezumi. “If HE weren’t such a big meany pants!”

And it added ten years to my life.

The Nezushi reunion is Shion-approved.
