[NSB HEADCANONS] - going to an anime convention with kane!

••●••••●••••●••••●••••●••••●••••●••••●••••●••••●••••●••••●•

pov: you going with kane to one of his fav's place in the world!!

warnings: sweet, sweet, sweet and sweet

type: super fluff and wholesome

member: kane ratan

oh damn, he would be so excited and so happy

like.. if you know kane, you probably know how much he loves animes and japanese stuff

he love watching animes

and if he can go see all the anime characters irl, he would do it

so when you asked yes to go with him to an anime convention, he was super happy and excited!!!

if you're the type to watch A LOT of animes, he would watch them with you

if you don't or / and would love to watch some, then, he would do it with you <3 and he would make you understand the story if you don't really understand and which characters are villains or heroes

he would drive with his car (or ty's car lol... JUST KIDDING.. or not) and put anime opening music in the background

ratan would probably talk about animes all along the drive

« Who do you want to meet? »

« WAIT Y/N!! WE HAVE TO SEE LEVI FROM AOT!!! »

"y/n, this is going to be so cool!! i'm so excited!"

he would do matching cosplays with you (if that’s smith you would like off!)

i know kane love cosplaying, so expect these kind of things with him!! but only if you're comfortable though! if you're not, then, he'll cosplay alone and would be totally okay with it! he really don't want to make you uncomfortable in any way!

he would hold your hands 😆

and he would say as an excuse "there's way too much people! i don't want to loose you"

well.. it would be an excuse and also a truth.. there's a lot of people, you know? he wouldn't want to loose you. but... he also want to hold your hand since he really love it how it make him feel

holding hands for kane, is something that really make him happy and all soft and mushy?

he would take pictures with you!!

And post you on his social medias 😏😏😏

and he would also take pictures with some of your fav anime characters

and if you don't have fav fictional characters, then, he'll ask you to take the pictures of him 😭😂

of course, kane would pay for you <3

not because he know you don't have money or because he's scared you'll be broke or something, but because it make him happy

see.. kane love making others people happy

a proof? he brought a mansion for the nsb boys for a month, i think one year ago? 😭 or he did something like that, but still!! he wanted to make the boys all comfy and cozy and happy and all, you know?

so i'm sure that if you couldn't afford something you would REALLY want, he would be happy to pay it for you (and he would buy it in secret to make you a surprise)

he would buy matching decorations, matching figurines or things like that

Idk why but Kane would be the person to buy a lot of surprise box

Or like anime surprise box 😂

Oh btw, btw!!! For the pictures!! he would also take sm with you

and also the tiktoks.. damn..

OFC HE WOULD POST YOU 😏😏

He have to show the world how lucky he is to be at this place with one of his fav person in the world

finally, going to an anime convention with kane is something super special 🩷

not because he love these kind of things, or that he know a lot of informations and things about them, or because he loves watching animes with you

I mean, yes its still fun going there and knowing who and where the characters are coming from, but also because you're with him and he's with you (help this is so cheesy- 🧀)

he love how he can truly be himself at that place and that he can live this amazing moment at one of his fav place with one of his fav person in the world <3 (thats you babe)

hope you guys liked it!! Requests are coming back soon :))

(i had so much fun writing it omg)

Dear FanimeCon Chair and Board of Directors;

It is with a heavy heart that we have called for a boycott of FanimeCon 2025. We had wished that our previous efforts to bring to light the issues within your organization would spur you towards making the reforms we had desperately wished to see while we were working together. Concerns that, unaddressed, would continue to bring harm to the convention that we had all worked so hard to put on. We had hoped that you would reach out to us when we first came forward, to understand our grievances and take steps to address them. When we did not hear from you, we aired our issues with the public, but you still stayed silent on what you were doing to alleviate our concerns.

While the private efforts you have made thus far are admirable, they are not adequate. There are still several glaring issues FanimeCon faces that could destroy the convention we all love. The following, public steps, will alleviate our most pressing issues and restore both our and the public’s trust in your organization and convention.

All 5 are required to lift our boycott.

1. Sexual Assault/Harassment Reforms.

• All FanimeCon staffers who have a known history of credible SA/SH reports at FanimeCon should receive a permanent ban from staffing or attending future FanimeCons.

• Update the Public Code of Conduct to include clear and concise procedures and investigations into SA/SH issues. These investigations should be performed by the staffing department AND a neutral 3rd party. (The Foundation for Anime and Niche Subcultures is not a neutral 3rd party.) Enforcement and utilization of this newly updated code of conduct should be of the highest priority- no more reports should be “slipping through the cracks.”

• All members of FanimeCon staff and Board of Directors should undergo mandatory, yearly SA/SH training. We recommend visiting The Office for Victims of Crime Training and Technical Assistance Center (OVC TTAC) for their free presenter’s toolbox and training modules or partnering with the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence (CEPDV) and/or VALORUS (who also has free resources for your organization to train in SA/SH prevention).

• FanimeCon Staff should be vetted via a background check. Staffers should not be allowed to staff if they have been convicted of a violent crime. Verified Credentials and Checkr has bulk pricing available (Checkr starts at $30/person) and the National Center for Safety Initiatives (NCSI) starts at $16/person with a $100 one time setup fee.

2. Refunds

Make good on promised refunds from the COVID years (2020-2022).

3. Accessibility.

Rebuild the accessibility department to include an ADA advocate & comply with federal and state ADA standards. This department should work in tandem with other departments to ensure their programming or public facing posts are accessible to all. This department should also be on-site or work closely with the Info Desk department to help those with accessibility needs access the accommodations they need to enjoy the convention.

4. Update and reform staff benefits.

Staff benefits should include:

• A free or deeply discounted hotel that is close to the staffer’s area of work.

• A proper food budget that is allocated to all staff members and should be standard across all staff.

• A dedicated staff outfit, large accessory, or uniform to make staff more easily identifiable.

• Discounted parking.

All staff perks and benefits must be posted publicly on your website.

5. Finances.

Fix all issues with the Franchise Tax Board and the Registry of Charities and Fundraisers.

Complete these reforms, and Failed By Fanime will lift the Boycott.

The following reforms are also highly recommended to increase our, and the public’s trust, but not required to lift the boycott:

Staffing:

• The Foundation for Anime and Niche Resources’ Board of Directors should not be department/division heads. This may constitute a conflict of interest.

• Revamp the Staffing Department to include a trained HR Director.

Communications:

• Overhaul the Social Media Department to ensure that important information is relayed to the public quickly and efficiently. Hiring a dedicated social media manager with training and experience in this field may help drastically improve your communication with the general public.

• Create a roadmap of upcoming changes that is publicly accessible on your website for attendees and staff alike.

• Increase the transparency of staff meetings- Meeting notes should be distributed within 24-48 hours to all staff. Recordings of the meetings should also be available within 24-48 hours. Dedicate a note taker & an audio/visual person to ensure that these meetings are accessible to all staff at all hours. A google drive accessible to staff will do.

Finances:

• Department Heads should receive their estimated budgets for the following year no later than October 1st.

• Open finances and budget information to Department Heads and above. There are a lot of disparities in budgets and space allocations between different departments, some of which we feel are unfairly allocated.

Miscellaneous:

• Rebuild the 24 hour programming. This was one of the things that made FanimeCon unique among other California conventions and it is sorely missed among the public.

• No major policy changes should be made or announced between April 1st and June 5th.

It is our sincerest wish to see these reforms put into action at FanimeCon and we invite you to work with us to correct the issues that threaten our beloved convention.

Signed, FailedByFanime
