All my life I have wanted to meet my favourite youtuber, Markiplier. I first discovered him when I was bored and browsing through YouTube for any new gaming videos. A video about Five Nights at Freddie's gameplay came up on my recommended page, mostly because I was looking at a bunch of horror gameplays recently. It has been quite a popular horror game but I haven't seen any of the gameplays. I clicked on it.
"Hello, everybody. My name is Markiplier and welcome to Five Nights at Freddies, an indie game that you guys suggested," he began. While watching the video, the tension kept me on the edge of my seat. And also the creepy animatronics.
The jumpscares made me, of course, jump out of my seat. But at the same time seeing Markiplier's reaction made me laugh and really made my day. Ever since then, I have been watching many of his gameplays and other videos.
Since Vidcon was the most likely place to meet youtubers, I began saving up on my money and working part-time jobs for over a year now. Mainly because the tickets were pretty expensive, especially when I have to pay for transportation and accommodation. Now I finally got a chance to do the one thing I have dreamed for so long.
I managed to drag my friend, Quincy along with me to the event.
"Is it really necessary for me to come along, (y/n)?" she whined. "I could be binge-watching Orange Is The New Black right now."
"Aw come on, Quin. You know that this is like a once in a lifetime experience for me. Also, I needed someone to come with me or my parents wouldn't let me go."
She made an annoyed face but eventually gave in. "Alright then. But you are going to buy me lunch later."
When we got to the Anaheim Convention Center, I was awestruck. The place was enormous and there were so many people inside and outside of the venue.
There were many booths for interviews, companies promoting their products and fun and games. There were also halls for panels and performances. Creators and fans alike were taking pictures with each other.
While waiting in line for the meet & greet with Markiplier, someone had passed us by and walked over to the adjoining booth. Many of the fans waiting in line there were shouting and hooting for the person.
"Who the heck is that?" Quin asked. I tried to peek over the crowd but I managed to see the person's face. That said person went over to Mark and gave him hug. "I think that's Jacksepticeye! I've seen him in some of Mark's collab videos."
Everyone that saw the moment went nuts and started taking photos with their phones. They said a few words to each other and then he walked back to his own booth, where he likely was going to prepare for his meet & greet session.
As the line slowly moved to the front my heartbeat got faster. I felt so anxious meeting my hero after a year of blood, sweat and tears. And having to say 'Thank you for being there, even when I had my up's and down's in life' in person meant so much to me that I was scared to mess up my chance to do so.
"Hey, (y/n)? Snap out of it! It's your turn to be saying 'Hi!' to him," Quincy clicked her fingers in front of my face.
I was so busy being worried that I spaced out and forgot I was in line. As I walked up to him I waved. "Hi, how are you doing?" Mark asked.
Come on, (y/n), you can do this. Just say something nice to him.
"Hello," I said timidly. "H-here, this is for you." I handed him a square beaded bracelet with the letters 'MARKIPLIER' written on each bead. Decorated on the other beads were Tiny Box Tim faces.
"Oh wow! This is really cool. Thank you so much. What's your name?" He gave me a sweet smile, trying to make me feel more comfortable around him.
"I'm (y/n). I just want to say...that you have made me happy throughout the years that I have watched your videos and...you made my life a much brighter place. Thank you for making me smile."
All the while I was glad I didn't stutter my words or faint right there and then. Mark gave me a reassuring smile and pulled me into a hug. "No, thank you. Without you or the community I wouldn't be where I am today."
We pulled away from the hug and I asked him to sign another bracelet that I had made. We also took a couple of selfies with each other. Then we said our farewells. Once I walked away he continued to greet more of his fans that were waiting in line.
When we left the event, I felt so ecstatic that I had gotten to meet the person that I admire so much.
"You're in the happiest mood that I have ever seen you in." said Quincy. "Well, I'm glad that you finally got the chance to meet the guy. I would feel the same way too."
I chuckled and said, "Thanks...for coming along with me." We made our way back home with tired yet happy faces.
