(Check the video above for the full meet-and-greet and Mark acting like a complete dork beforehand.)

I've been to DisneyWorld five times, but those trips to Disney can't compare to the amazing time I had at Indy Popcon.

I got to meet him. I got to say thank you. I finally got to tell me story and say thank you to the man who saved my life. I'm still in shock actually.

This is indeed me hugging Mark. (Despite what my sister claims, I am NOT KISSING HIS SHIRT.) That was a feeling that I hope I never, ever, forget.

I'll put a the hug video up on my/my sister's Markiplier IG account. @ tiny_box_warfstache

It may seem like I'm exaggerating to get attention, but truly, I am not. Never once in my life had I been so happy to talk to someone.

Oh gosh, I'm actually tearing up writing this. It was the best feeling in the world.

Nothing in the world made me feel more safe and happy than being in his arms. (Even if it was only for about 6 seconds.) I wish I could've frozen time around me, so that I didn't have to leave so soon.

But I did leave. And I left with something I'll never forget. A memory of me with my hero, and the thank you I finally could say.

It was the best day of my life.

And then there's my Mom meeting them...

We were at the front of the line, on Saturday, when my Mom saw them all (Jack, Mark, Bob, Wade, Tyler, Molly.) in person. She didn't even know who Jack was. But we stopped in line, in the front row, and my Mom saw Mark and Jack.

She yelled:
"OH MY GOSH! They're both so TINY!"

And I yelled:
"MOM! OH MY GOSH! They're both TWO FEET AWAY!"

Then when she met Bob, I heard her say:
"I don't know who you are! But my daughters told me I'd love you!"

I lost most of my respect for my mother that day.

Though I myself am guilty of nearly saying to Wade: "Holy crap, you're gigantic!" when he hugged me. That guy is like 6'6"! (Mark is 5'9" everybody! He only had half an inch on me, making him 5'9" so the fanbase can stop the debate!)

Also, Jack is just as loud in person.

Me: *walks up to Jack and waits for him to turn around*
Jack: *jumps* OH GOD, YOU SCARED ME!!
Me: *smiles awkwardly*
Jack: ARE YOU SHY?!
Me: Yes...
Jack: DON'T BE SHY!!
Me: *Thinking* Oh my gosh... He really does yell everything!
~Pictures, autographs, etc.~
Jack: THANK YOU!! IT WAS NICE TO MEET YOU!!
Me: Nice to meet you too.
Jack: BYE!!!
Me:*Thinking* Headphone user warning.

Bob and Molly were cool too. I gave Molly some Don't Starve fanart I made for her. She nearly lost her mind when I said it was for her, not Wade.

This is what she said:
"SHELBY! This is for me? Oh my gosh, this is awesome! Nobody ever pays attention to me! Thank you SO MUCH for making this! This is amazing! Thank you so much! *hugs*"

Bob and I had a nice, quiet conversation about FNAF 3. That was it. But it was still nice!

If I had to sum up the trip in one sentence:

Best trip of my life.
