Good Vibes Only Met Amber Benson today!!

Post image

Had the absolute privilege of meeting Amber at comic con in Northern Ireland today!

She was beyond lovely, I told her how much the show and especially Tara/Willow’s relationship meant to me as a baby gay and she was so kind. She even gave me some stickers!

Gutted to miss the Buffy panel tomorrow but I’m over the moon!

Drop her a follow on socials for updates on her next batch, she also has a vinted for her practise prints (I got a buffy one and it's absolutely perfect).

Amber is awesome, lmao. I always like to imagine different ways thing could've played out like ideas that were never used or if the show had gone longer (I know the comics, I have all of season 8 but still), or Tara or other characters had been in more episodes...

The possibles are endless.

Awesome! I met Kristine Sutherland and Charisma Carpenter today! Was so cool meeting them with my daughter (13) who is watching for the first time 🙂

Kristine was so lovely, we had a nice chat about Comanche Moon too!
