I remember you from somewhere’I had kind of hoped she would remember me but didn’t expect that at all as when I met her at LFCC 2018 it was so busySo I was super glad and flattered tbhI told her that basically we talked in Italian last time we met and so she went “oh that’s why I remember you!”And so I cheekily asked her if she could write something in Italian for my autograph - if she still knew her ItalianAnd she was like of course I can pff and we started chatting half in Italian half in Englishby that point people from the queue were saying omg how do you say this and that in Italian wowShe thought about it for a bit asking me if she was making any mistakes and eventually wrote a nice dedication in ItalianIt’s a simple “Nice to see you again lots of love” but it’s so much more special to meI complemented her on her Italian coz it’s seriously great and she was all pleased saying “see I’m good”Later on at the photo op she greeted me by name with a cheerful “Marco facciamo una foto!” (Let’s take a picture together!)I asked her to do the iconic 12th doctor’s pose (because I wanted a different pose from last time)she commented “okay I’ll basically be the 12th Doctor in a dress”And dare I say she’s brilliant at it like look how cool she looksShe’s such a starIngrid Oliver speaking Italian is my happy placeHonestly in another life I would have such a massive crush on her nglps ignore the state of my hair pls
