“I watched a lot of documentaries on post-traumatic stress and a lot of army documentaries about the training programs and some of the extreme sort of circumstances that some of those guys that are training to be Navy SEALs and some who are a part of it go through. I was trying to understand what it is, what it means for someone to be desensitized, to no longer question hurting something. I did as much research on all that stuff as I could in order to kind of know what that was like. And then my stepdad actually has Alzheimer’s, so there were parts about watching and studying that kind of disease, also, observing people like that that kind of helped me a little bit.”SEBASTIAN STAN

So this weekend, for my autograph, I gave Sebastian this picture for him to sign. He did a cute little head bang against the table and did the cute little puppy dog smirk and ugh. 

For anyone who can’t make it out, he says, “I…don’t know why this exists, I’ll tell you right now, I’m…. these were not women’s jeans! THEY WERE REAL. THEY WERE MAN JEANS.”

STORY TIME BEHIND HIS FUCKING FACE:

Ok so when it’s my turn to take the picture, I go up and I ask Sebastian what were we going to do for it like “What are we doing, Sebastian? What are we doing?” and he goes:

“I don’t know but your hair looks AMAZING!”

I’m like 8D *internal dying animal noises*

But I keep my cool and I’m like “Thank you! Would you like to touch it?” because this is just a thing that happens so I wanted to offer since he complimented it.

He was like “No but can I just rest my head on it.” and I you’re goddamn fucking right I said yes.

A stronger and far better woman than I might have said no, but I am not that woman.

BUT I DIDN’T KNOW THAT THIS WAS THE FACE YOU MADE, SEBASTIAN, YOU LITTLE SHIT! THIS EXPLAINS WHY THE GIRLS AFTER ME JUST FELL OUT LAUGHING OMG!

He looks so fucking happy laying in my hair though, like I can’t even breathe right now y’all and it’s been HOURS.

This is the man who actually leaned over and took a selfie with me even though the handlers said no.

This is the man who got in trouble for giving too many hugs despite the handlers giving him absolute glares of doom and faces of “WTF ARE YOU DOING SEBASTIAN?! WE SAID NO!”

This is the man who went out of his way to make each experience with his fans work out the way they wanted it to and who did it all with the most wonderful smile on his face.

This man… this absolutely dorky sweetheart of a beautiful man is everything.
