#221b con 2017

Sunday’s outfit at 221B Con!

I finally got a pussy hat, and it matched my ‘Softly, Gently’ Sherlock shirt (which I finally got to wear around other fans!)! I actually got a lot of questions as to where I got the shirt, so in case anyone is wondering, it’s from @anotherwellkeptsecret ‘s redbubble and the original art is here ^_^

It was great seeing you again, Kelley!!

I will most likely get this box put away in time for next years #221bcon http://ift.tt/2tGZxJR

my heart was stolen when sashaforthewin made eye contact with me and maintained it while proceeding to play careless whisper on a kazoo

And this is why the Sherlolly shippers are the best in any fandom. Take every insult, every bit of snark you can hurl - extinct like dinosaurs, nothing but girly cis-girls in flounces and pearls - we run with it to hilarious results. All this dino needed was a timer set to 8 minutes.

I’ve already gotten a ton of comments on the shirt I’m wearing (the above design on a charcoal sweatshirt) and people asking where I got it.

Here is the link to this excellent design on Redbubble! Not my design, but I wish I’d thought of it.

221B Con 2017 Intro!

No one asked for it, but just in case someone wants to know, LOL

Name: Steph / Stephie / Stephers ... 

Pronouns: She / Her or whatever makes you happy :)

Age: 35

Located: Ontario, Canada!  

What do you do in fandom?: Nothing much, really. XD LOL. I write meta, shitpost, draw, and enjoy making people happy and feeling welcome and loved.

How long are you staying?: Thursday night to Monday morning 

How are you getting there?: Flying

Cosplays: I sadly do not have any ready... Unless y’all want me to dress up like Sora from Kingdom Hearts LOL

Roomies: @yorkiepug

Where to find me: This is my first 221B Con, so I have no idea. Most likely wandering around with Sandy, but probably mostly at panels and fun events! We’re going to the burlesque one of the nights!! :D

Drinks: Ah yup! Sandy intends to get me wasted. She may regret this; I get very silly, cuddly and whiney when I’m drunk. Or cry uncontrollably... don't let me drink whiskey. The one time I did, I cried on the floor until I sobered up 2 hours later.

Hugs: YAS OMG YES PLEASE. Seriously I don’t get much human contact in my real life, I intend to stock up my Hug Stores until my next Human Interaction Event.

Pictures: Absolutely, but if you post them please ask me first! AND I want to reblog them if you have them! 

Anything else?: I LOVE LOVE LOVE meeting people, except I have this ONE teeny tiny issue: I am SHIT at making friends in RL, and am shy as fuck and tend to stick by people I am already familiar with until I am comfortable with the area. YOU will need to come to ME, introduce yourself, and then we’re friends! PLUS I’M REALLY REALLY bad with associating names and faces (hence my dislike for constantly changing URLs...), so please don’t be offended if I forget your name. PLEASE. It will take a few times for me to remember them (this is a large part why I have such social anxiety and mostly spend my time alone).  FINALLY, this is my first 221B con, and I am SO EXCITED to meet my Tumblr friends and soon-to-be friends!! DON’T BE INTIMIDATED BY ME, PLEASE. I am actually a smoll dork in real life and seriously am nothing to be nervous over.

Contact info: Ah, at the con it might be a problem because I am Canadian, and I will get charged up the ass if I turn on my data on my phone.... so I need to be anywhere wireless, LOL. OTHERWISE, I have iMessage, Hangouts, Facebook Messenger and Tumblr! DM me and we’ll get personal ;D

Reblog this intro: Sure if it makes you happy!

A brief glimpse of this past weekend with 622 of the best people the Sherlockian community has to offer

DOOR DECORATION CONTEST WINNERS!!

From the humor of Balloon!John, the salt of the dumpster fire, the inclusivity of sailing all the ships, and the ingenuity of recreating the feel of Stranger Things in an Atlanta hotel hallway, our winners were a fun lot. They along with many others who took time to spread the con love should be commended for their creativity, snark, humor, love, and a hundred other good things. If we had an unlimited budget we’d throw prizes at all of the entrants.

Thank you all for contributing to something that we look forward to every year. We love you guys!!

To my Sherlock. Thank you, for always being an inspiration, and my favorite brother. I am so thankful for you and the bravery you give me.

ALERT: ATLANTA BRIDGE COLLAPSE

Hey, are you driving into or around the Atlanta area? There was a major bridge collapse due to a fire, read about it HERE.

The news is saying it could take months for this to be fixed, so in the meantime please look into alternative routes or transportation to access Atlanta.

A roundup of Saturday at 221B Con!

We had our live podcast panel in the morning; thank you to everyone who came out and discussed Sherlock characters we identified with (or didn’t).

We walked down a mechanical shark for funsies to the vendor room.

We had the crobabies reception with @crochetjohnandsherlock! A good time was had by all (except the Margaret Thatcher piñata probably), and most definitely by our own Left Shark, @foxestacado!
