Brought some Blues Clues fan art for Steve to sign and he hit me right in the feels!

He was so sweet and I'm so glad he liked it, made sure to bring an extra copy just for him!

I was Kuki Shinobu at Fanexpo SF this past weekend! ⚡💜

This was my first time putting so much effort into a cosplay. I bought it premade, but I quickly realized I'd need to do A Lot more than just making it fit nicely. I remade all the rope with yarn, sewed my socks onto stockings so they'd stay up, cut and painted foam for the armor, and even styled the wig with glue! 😱

Here's pics my sib @shapeshiftinterest took for me 🤗💖

This Jinshi/Maomao pair was so sweet, they were handing out hairpins and I got their last ones!!! I'm literally swooning bc Jinshi gave it to me like woahhh... just like in the show O(-(

This Anya and Daisuke Mouthwashing >>>> I nearly cried they're so cute 🥹🥹

I had a lot of fun!! And spend too much money :')

I cosplayed Peri!!!

WIP shots under the cut

I wanted the wings to look as much like insect wings as possible! Hand-painted them on shiny vinyl with a glitter tulle cover.

The wig took 40 hours alone 😭 and I made it from SCRATCH. Like, i sewed a base, and added wefts of hair layer by layer. the pompadour is mostly hot glue

Mads and Hugh matching outfit is the cutest, OMG. Tell me this is only in my head. TEAM GREEN was not real.

Matchy matchy was not real.

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

Everyone talking about their experiences meeting Neil Gaiman got me remembering when I met the voice actor Vic Mignona, who was canceled a few years ago for SA and so many other similarly gross behaviours. I met Vic when I was around 16 at Fanexpo. I was a huge Ouran/FMA fan. I approached him at his table with my male friend, same age, and we all chatted for a while and I got my manga signed. Things turned weird when Vic whispered something in my ear using his Tamaki voice, a dub quote or something, and then after saying goodbye he kissed me on my cheek. Without asking. My friend got a hug although I can't remember if he was asked first. Anyway I was on cloud nine for the rest of that day, but over a decade later... knowing now about the nasty allegations and charges against him... its just so obvious to me how wrong that was. He was a grown ass adult man kissing a 16 year old girl without consent.

Back to Gaiman— I see a lot of folks struggling to reprocess their fan encounters with him and I just want to say I totally get it. It's okay if at the time your interaction with him made you the happiest nerd in the world. It's hard to deal with memories like that tarnishing, so don't beat yourself up over your own ignorance and innocence. These predators are getting what they deserve.

What a year it has been! I started with throwing together a cosplay in a few days just for fun and ended up being so inspired that I decided to make it again… and again! I love Katamari Damacy so much, I wanted to make the best possible version I could. And I think i did, I love my final cosplay so much and im so happy all of the Katamari fans do too!!
