So I went to Fan Expo yesterday! I wish I bought tickets for two days instead of one, i couldn't do all that I wanted. Most of my day was just waiting in line to meet voice actors.

Buuut the highlight of my day is that I met Dee Bradley Baker! I got a selfie with him and I asked what was his favorite Spongebob character to play. He said Bubble Bass's mom. He did voice impressions of them both. Its so weird to hear the voices come out of him since I'm used to hearing it on the TV. It was great though.

He LOVED my Slappy cosplay and said it was freaky. I am so so happyyyy. When I took a selfie with him, my friend said some lady also took out her phone to snap a picture of my cosplay. It may not be the most polite thing to do without asking but I really don't mind it lmao

It was my dream to go as Slappy since the first time I ever went to Fan Expo. Which isn't long ago but still. I felt like I was wearing his skin✨

I finally know how Slaps felt like in this instance wearing the Patrick costume

I spent the past week making the head out of paper mache and I'm very proud of it. It's not particularly strong because I was figuring this out while it was foing along. I spent most of my time sculpting and ensuring it LOOKED like Slappy, I didn't give much consideration towards visibility (his mouth is a seeing hole but you can just barely see. Also towards the end of the day, it began cracking around his jaw area so I couldn't wear it anymore. It's fine and easy to fix, I do kinda want to fix it up and make it stronger. Probably put a helmet on the inside and pad out the inside. I also want to give him false eyelashes lmao.

I had a lot of fun painting him though. It was like doing his makeup UwU he's also actually wearing makeup since I used an eyeshadow pallette to use as a highlighter on his skin. He's sparkly in person.

I also made his dorsal fin (I followed a basic fairy wings tutorial to make it) and my sister helped out and made the little gloves from socks. She finds this costume horrifying. I think that's the best part. I chased her around a bit as Slappy.

I also attended a panel and got an autograph from Neil Newbon who voices Astarion from Baulders Gate 3.

Mainly because my friend has been obsessed with the game lately. I didn't think I'd care much until I actually met him. Hes actually wonderful and witty and polite and professional, I could go on and on about it. My friend and I were both gushing about it. Even for the brief moment of meeting him at the table and he shakes your hand with both hands and looks you in the eye AHHHH✨✨✨😭😭

Unexpected but REALLY made my day <33

I ended up missing photo opportunity to meet Spongebob because the line was so long but this is a rare moment where I think it was worth it.

Especially since despite all of that, there are many folks who asked for pictures. Especially older folks. They were able to tell right off the bat that it was Peter Lorre related!

And the ones who were younger and closer to my age were still able to get it. I got a lot of people asking "is that Gomez Addams?" because Gomez is Peter Lorre inspired. Which was the PERFECT opportunity to infodump and tell them that Slappy and Gomez are both caricatures of Peter Lorre. I actually have a printed picture of Peter Lorre that I kept in my tote bag just for this purpose <3

When I was standing in line, one man was looking at the Slappy head for a bit and said "he has a face only a mother could love. He reminds me of a certain actor" to which I just had to say "Peter Lorre!" Hehehehehe

There was also a paramount section where they had Spongebob mini golf.

I actually met a dude while I was in line and he was also a Hardcore Spongebob fan. Its actually crazy to find someone as deranged as I am irl. It was soooo much fun just chatting with him. We ended up traded socials. I kinda wish I stuck around longer but we didn't have much time left ro really explore the con so my friend and I did a mad dash trying to get through as much as we could before the con closed.

All in all, I had fun. I'll probably reuse this costume next year. Perhaps I could find a brown tailcoat suit too so the cosplay can be 100% accurate.

Here are some miscellaneous cosplay pictures:

This one is my favorite <3

Imagine Good Omens would have been filmed in the 1980s (in a universe in which 1980s were as progressive as the 2020s)

Imagine Tom Baker as Aziraphale

Imagine Jeremy Brett as Crowley

Imagine it the other way around

Boygenius Are Right at Home at Madison Square Garden

Boygenius – Madison Square Garden – October 2, 2023

Boy (!), did these people love those people. These people were all of us — the assembled throng at Madison Square Garden on Monday night, anyway — deeply enthralled by what was occurring on the stage and the vibe filling up the whole place. Those people were boygenius — the inspired supergroup comprising Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers — headlining there for the first time and completely owning it.

Supergroups are usually good-natured stunts, or at least don’t feel set up for any kind of real longevity. Boygenius, on the other hand, are convincingly a band. The three principals share an affinity for the space where open-armed, melancholy, confessional folk-rock meets steely, fist-pumping resolve, and while their individual styles are different, boygenius are the through line among them where somehow all this deeply intimate, soul-bearing music translates to a huge stage, way bigger than its individual parts, losing none of its quietly (and sometimes un-quietly) devastating power.

They began the set a cappella, singing “Within You Without Them” from backstage in gorgeous three-part harmonies, like a next-generation Emmylou Harris/Alison Krauss/Gillian Welch. From there they took the main stage to rapturous applause in front of a sturdy four-piece band — drummer Madden Klass, bassist Tiana Ohara, keyboardist Sarah Goldstone and well-utilized multi-instrumentalist Melina Duerte — and sliced into “$20” and “Satanist,” both full-throated rockers, sometimes with screams, as if to remind us that despite sometimes-delicate music, this would not be a delicate show.

Throughout it, boygenius proved masters of balance. The three-part harmonies returned to great effect on tunes like “True Blue.” Each took multiple turns singing lead vocals, drawing briefly from their own catalogs — Baker’s “Favor,” Bridgers’ “Graceland Too,” Dacus’ “Please Stay” — but focusing largely on the already-formidable boygenius catalog — the tender, ethereal, pained “Emily I’m Sorry,” the heavy “Bite the Hand,” the stirring “Me and My Dog,” all highlights.

There were newer songs, too: The set closed with “Powers,” debuted a few nights earlier in Philadelphia and one of four tunes the band played late in the show from a B-stage, immersing in the audience — endlessly, that joyful, triumphant vibe. Joined by opener MUNA for the final encore, “Salt in the Wound,” boygenius left us feeling benedictory — take these good feelings and embrace them for how beautifully raw they really are. —Chad Berndtson | @Cberndtson

For @spntoxicfemslashevent day 22 fibre arts (and actually looking at the prompts, also power imbalance): crocheted manifestation of Lily Baker / Lilith. What if you killed everyone you touched (including your girlfriend) and then there was this demon who was very much tied up in all that, but also she doesn’t die when you touch her. Pre-Lilithing Lily Baker square under the cut for comparison.

Oh no! I slipped and made fanart for @buggachat ’s amazing Bakery Enemies AU comic!

Mari was totally gonna still be wearing her adorable “Sew What” shirt but I liked how her body gesture looked too much to cover her up so I guess it’s spicy now! I had to keep Adrien in the oversized “Kiss the Baker” shirt though. It’s too cute and the way it keeps falling off him is just *chef’s kiss*~

⚙️ Spring updates aside, the official Discord server has decided to put the next update in convenient pictures to save and repost anywhere!

🐦‍⬛ You’re more chipper than usual today. Good news coming in?

⚙️ MY MAGIC CANDY, THAT’S WHAT!

🐦‍⬛ Oh. That’s wonderful to know.

⚙️ They omitted most of the details from the picture, but my Magic Candy is what’s important.

🐦‍⬛ Mhm……

☁️ Caramel Choux Cookie seems like a nice Cookie, although Editor Meringue would consider her a near miss with one of his other original characters. But hey, I know he can make it work in his favor too!

The butcher, the baker and the spy maker....

Before I, Claudius, before Inspector Wexford, English actor George Baker was--along with Sean Connery--a candidate to portray James Bond

Here they both are in the 1960 film The Square Ring. Baker went on to roles in Bond films including being the real Sir Hillary Bray in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Snappy dresser, too.

And kind to animals.....

Boygenius at NYC’s Madison Square Garden: Concert Recap – Billboard

[spongebob-connoisseur]

Tumblr is being my biggest h8r right now, BUT I do have some good news! I have an opportunity to meet Dee Bradley Baker at Fan Expo! He voices many characters in the show such as Perch Perkins, Bubble Bass, Squilliam, Kevin the sea cucumber and various other secondary/background characters! I can't wait <3

I plan to get an autograph, I have noooo idea what to say to him tbh. He voices so many SB characters and thats a big deal to meeee but he doesn't voice any of my favourite characters :// (excluding him doing the occasional hissing of Nosferatu)

What would you guys like?

Let's Play Constantine |09| The Final Seals

These are not the most difficult puzzles in the world, but the second one can end up being a doozy if you just mash buttons mindlessly. Still, with the final seals in hand, we can grab the Lexicon and head back to Beeman for tea and a spot of reading.

experienced abrupt nostalgia for childhood, but specifically the part of childhood in which going to a bakery specialized in pies was always an exotic and thrilling adventure, because "what is a particular flavor of pie actually like, and is it good" felt like highly complex knowledge that only adults could master. the huge variety of pie flavors out there in the world would surely take one's entire childhood to catalogue
