CC wrap up 2019

Thursday: I woke up bright and early hoping to get into Hall H (stupid me, you can never get in unless you camp over night).  So Stood in line for the exhibit hall and bought a bunch of junk (will post pics later).  Down side I was walking to Sea Port Village (small shops and restaurants), it’s about 10 minutes away and one of the places I usually go to was closed.  Permanently >_< had lunch, rested for a bit and then went back to the exhibit floor and bought more junk.

Friday: Early once again and managed to get into Ballroom 20.  First panel was Syfy’s it came from the 90′s, there was some nostalgia but most of the things they had were shows I’ve never heard of or watched.  Then again I was a kid in the 90′s and mostly watched cartoons.  Got stuck watching Veronica Mars Revival, tried to keep an open mind but it’s not my cup of tea.  Finally got to see what I wanted to afterward, Steven Universe.

We got to see a new trailer and hear a new song from the movie, sung by Estelle.  I think the most interesting question was since Pearl knew Rose’s identity, why doesn’t Sardonyx? Rebecca Sugar said it’s like a relationship between parents and children.  Where you have Garnet and Pearl as ‘parents’ and Sardonyx is a ‘child’ and Sardonyx only knows what she is told.  Since Pearl never said a thing about Rose, therefore Sardonyx would not know about Rose.  The other question I liked was someone asked how the cast feel about ships and do they like them.  Michaela Dietz answered she liked Onion’s dad’s ship XD

Once it was done I ventured out for food, yet another mistake.  I went to the mall nearby (also a 10 minute walk in another direction).  No one bothered to tell me 90% of the mall had it’s business closed which included the food court.  Left the mall and tried to go to the sushi place the year before, there was a sign in the window saying it was closed permanently >_<  Found a burger place and inhaled it.

Sat in one of the rooms waiting for Roosterteeth.  First on I saw went over the horror genre in comics, I don’t care much for horror but it was very intriguing to listen to.  Got stuck with a comedy show by Fred Savage (I didn’t think it was funny) and a new show called neXt which is about a super computer trying to take over everything (I didn’t care for it).  Then Roosterteeth showed up (hooray!), we got to see Adam Kovic’s new show which looked like a bunch of silly shorts.  A clip from RWBY, it was a fight scene but it wasn’t complete yet, you could still see what needs to be animated.  It was pretty cool.  Saw a trailer for Achievement Haunter season 2 and the bury Gavin alive.  I was cringing the whole time.

Saturday: Last time I woke up really early and dear god it was taking it’s toll!  I stayed in room 6bcf all day cause there were a lot of panels I wanted to see.  First off was a new series on netflix called Seis Manos which is about these martial artists in Mexico, there seems to be a super natural twist to it was well.  It stars Mike Colter, Jonny Cruz, Angélica Vale, Vic Chao, and Danny Trejo.  Looks promising!

Saw Quick Draw which was always funny, cartoonists such as Sergio Aragonas, Scott Shaw and Floyd Norman are given prompts and they draw them.  Scott Shaw told a story once he drew himself as well poop.  One of his lesser known creations, he put peanut butter all over himself at one Comic Con and walked around like that.  He went back to his hotel and cleaned himself.  A week later the plumbing in every room exploded with peanut butter.  Ew!

Cartoon voices came immediately after, which had Marieve Herington, Adam McArthur, Laraine Newman, Lex Lang, Eric Lopez, and Fred Tatasciore.  They did a cold read of Repunzel and were free to ad lib what they wanted to say.  I wish I could’ve recorded it, my sides were splitting by the time they were done.

Saw Sesame Street for it’s 50th anniversary and the cast of Critical Role.  Beging to wonder if I should start the series, but I have no idea on where to start.  What I really wanted to see was Hideo Kojima, he did not disappoint.  And as usual kept a number of things in mystery.  We got introduced to Nicolas Winding Refn who will also be in Death Stranding.  He was in the clip we saw, the guy has a device on his heart and technically he’s dead.  The device starts his heart and he lives in 21 minute increments.  For the 3 minutes he’s dead he’s looking for his family on the other side.  It was awesome!

Last panel of the day was What We Do In The Shadows, we saw the episode with the vampire council.  When it was done the cast came out along with the creators Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi.  They were all very funny, although I do feel bad for Matt Berry since now every time he goes to work and someone see’s him, they yell, ‘bat!’.  The moderator was going to as Kayvan Novak if that was his real hair or a wig, it was his real hair.  He says in Nandor’s voice “Yes and I have Guillermo comb it for me”.  I was dying.

Sunday: Nothing really exciting, just last minute things to buy if I didn’t get them on Thursday.  Went home and passed out!

[tumblunni]

OH MAN I HAD SUCH A BAD SLEEP I took too many headache pills and forgot they contain caffeine and i was up all night Dying Of Tired and then when i finally passed out i had like five damn nightmares at once?? Its hard to even remember most of them but I just know I was really inexplicably legitimately panicked about a bunch of super arbitrary nonsense. Like.. brain so shot that I couldnt even compose a decent narrative for why the thing is scary. WTF...

Like at one point I was just reenacting the final boss fight from Deadly Premonition?? And like there’s a bunch of actual reasons why that thing pisses me off, like how cliche it was to make the One Fat Man In The Town the villain, and how suddenly we’re adding a really crass rape plot and LOL isn’t it even more gross cos he’s overweight. Right after a big ol ‘demon trans person’ fight and one of the most sympathetic characters getting dragged through the mud and discarded. Like seriously fuckin EVERYONE betrays you and then your love interest dies from monster rape while crying ‘don’t look at me I’m soiled’ and fucking PUNS cos evil fatman is some sort of plant monster. God I stopped caring about that game immediately, it went from zany weird to just horrible. ...but in the dream it wasn’t any of that sort of nuance, it was just me for some reason being legit terrified of evil fatman’s comedy boss fight. Seriously, after how detestable he is, they give you a stupid fatness stereotype joke fight where he bounces around like a terrible 60s b-list superhero. Why was dream me legitimately terrified of friggin yoshi ground pound man?! I think the real terror here was just that I was reminded this damn game exists.

And then also for some reason another part of the nightmare was Supreme Anxiety over designing a fan character for sonic the hedgehog?? Somehow I’d won the awesome right to add a character to the series and I was like BUT I HAVE NO IDEAS EXCEPT *points at literally the exact same sprite of my terrible super sonic recolour monkey oc from age 12, somehow blown up to the size of a building* And like I needed to demolish that but it was made of lego bricks, and I was all ‘aaa but i don’t even know if the character would be put in the games or the sonic boom tv show, they have very different sense of humour. do i have to make a playable character or just a comedy npc like the Meh Burger guy?’ incidentally sonic boom the show is awesome and reminds me of my childhood cos lol we got AoStH in britain instead of that grimdark future freedom fighters thing. That was our comic instead! its funny how similar the british and american comics are and yet how insanely different! but i still love a zany fourth wall breaking trash show and im so fucking happy we now have a way more well animated one! Anyway this was SO SUPER STRESSFUL cos I havent even been very involved in sonic fandom since I was a lil kid, but it was a thing I did with my now deceased grandma so its Kinda A Big Deal. I think dream me even considered making a character based on her, but I decided it was too close to eggman. She was such a supervillain of hugs! So yah it just ended with me at Green Hill Zone and then i fuckin run off into the distance and never come back. DONT GIVE BUNNI RESPONSIBILITIiiiiiies...!!

Also there was something about some sort of.. ghost phone app dating game? It was so weird cos I was a person sitting on a bus playing the app and then the love interest from the app actually got on the bus and I guess we were actually just texting? And for some reason I had to take pictures of the moon, which looked like a tiny head of eggman’s voiceactor with little stick limbs attatched. And a day and night cycle kept going super fast so i was like ‘ehh only ten minutes til another good shot’. And I guess the eggmoon got bigger to show your progress thru the plot...?? ‘That’s my favourite star’ says anime schoolgirl, romantically... So yeah all I knew was that this was somehow a horror game and supposed to have jumpscares, but I was like HELL YEAH DATING A GHOST! And then the plot twist was something like the bus was the bus to the afterlife and we were both ghosts. So like you’d get the bad ending for running away from ghost girlfriend and then find out the only thing outside the bus door is infinate blackness and You Was The Zombie Too But the bigger scary twist for me was that in this universe I’d died from being strangled by my abusive dad and then suddenly everyone was super unsympathetic to me and telling me I’d deserved it and oh man poor dad having to deal with a lil shit like me Zombie dating? perfectly fine! zombie dating an abuse apologist? NOPE.

And then i also dreamed about a neat game that I’m sad doesn’t actually exist. I was desperately trying to remember the name of it as if it did exist?? i feel betrayed?? XD It was something where there were four nature spirit boys and I had to help them regain their power and potentially have dating sim shenanigans I guess?? I just recall that they all started as a tiny mascot creature and it was that dumb cliche of ‘actually my true form was specifically an attractive person of the designated gender you prefer, at the exact same age as you! what are the odds!’ But they still looked pretty neat in their more humanoid form, they were still monster boys rather than the super superest of cliche dating sim characters. And I recall there was an interesting thing of every route being a wildly different genre? like they’d all start the same with me suddenly getting this weird mascot critter, but then the answer as to what exactly the spirits were and what his amnesiac memory was was always different. Like in one of them (fire, I think?) it turned out to be a post apocolyptic sci fi where the earth was running out of resources and children with psychic potential were kidnapped and turned into genetic experiments to create these ‘spirits’. They were more like humanized terraforming machines?? It was really kind of a neat plot twist?? And I recall that fire guy was a sad shy dood kinda like nageki from hatoful boyfriend, and his monster boy traits were interesting cos he had dusty grey hair with only a few scattered red strands, and it would blaze up into a burning white flame whenever he lost control of his emotions. (similarly with just a tiny red flame cowlick in the middle) And I think the water spirit was a very pompous kingly type whos mascot form looked like a slime from dragon quest. He was my favourite, he was good comic relief and very huggable! I think his plot got all twisty and sad tho, like it turns out he wasn’t the real king but just a clone duplicate made to use as a body double. And it was depressing that he was so convinced his memories were real and so utterly oblivious to the fact he was like.. melting, a lot, often. Thats normal rite? U just cant do it cos you’re a commoner! These magic powers are totally a thing of the royal lineage and not proof that I actually really am a dragon quest slime with a bad case of identity issues! Anyway we punched the jerkass king and rescued the real prince and they lived happily ever after as if they were just a regular set of twins. And human prince was all ‘I’mma be the best wingman!’ and kept teasing you about ending the story on a kiss. It was cute! I dunno about the other two love interests tho, I just definately know there were four of them for some reason. Also for some reason dream!me was constantly criticising the game’s art style, that was a little annoying XD

Bryan and my auto’s story at RDC3

Ok. So. A LOT of things have happened at RDC3, and I haven’t processed any of them. But this one, especially... I need to write a post about it (if you want to know more about my adventures at RDC3, you just need to go to my twitter, or the thread I made with ALL my tweets about the con, HERE, and take a look).

Also, it’s gonna be long (that’s what he said), so I’m sorry in advance. But bear with me.

(Before I begin, I need to give some context. In case you don’t know, I have a book. Basically, a few friends surprised me by working their asses off to put together a lot of my fics to print them, because my dream has always been having A BOOK with my writing (because writing means SO MUCH TO ME, gosh). At first it was supposed to be something just for me, and the first version of the book, the one I have, even had some problems, mistakes, etc (which I love because now it’s unique xD). But when I announced what had happened on twitter, some people told me they wanted to buy a book. I was shocked, because I was like, what the hell?!?! And I still am a little shocked that there are people now with my book on their bookshelves- but, that’s not the point. The point is I corrected the mistakes from the first version and put it up for sale, and people actually bought it (!!). Some people bought it for RDC3, so I brought those books with me, and around 6 extra copies just in case someone wanted to purchase it there.

Okay, context given, I’m gonna get on the story.)

Before the con, while thinking what to take to get signed, I considered the Feeding Hannibal book, the art book, etc. But while I would’ve also loved that, I also considered the copy of my book. Because it was... so much more personal?? And after all the good things the book has brought me, having it signed by them would make it EVEN MORE special. So, even though I was scared as hell about it, I finally decided to take the book.

And now, we fast forward to the con. The Gold tickets had the autographs with Hugh and Bryan on Sunday, and with the rest on Saturday. As a quick anecdote, Scott signed my book (after asking what it was, I told him, and he said “uh, nice!”) but wrote my name “wrong”, just without the acute accent (my name is Icíar). When it was Aaron’s turn, after asking me to pronounce my name like 5 times and saying “oh my god, looooovely!”, and trying to pronounce it himself and failing (he’s so cute xD), he opened the book and asked, “this is an acute accent, right???” and I went like, “yeah, but don’t worry, because most people don’t put it on the name” (which is sadly true, and most people here in Spain pronounce it wrong whether it has the acute accent or not xD). But he went like, NO! I’M GONNA WRITE IT!!! And Scott didn’t??!?!” and looked at me like !!!! And I joked “yeah, can you believe him??” XD. So, he signed it, and then added a GIANT arrow to make sure we all see the acute accent xDDDDDD

Okay, Sunday. I was so SO nervous.

We came to the autograph’s queue for Bryan and Hugh. They had put Bryan first and then Hugh, which was a HUGE mistake because Bryan was taking sooooo long with each single person, his queue was the slowest ever. So they had to be constantly relocating people from Bryan’s queue to Hugh’s, because his queue was running out while Bryan’s wasn’t moving. That’s what they did to Emma ( @firuflies, who was coming with me) and I, and they sent us to Hugh’s queue. When I got to him, I handed him first the Holy Trinity print from @camilleflyingrotten that I was also taking to have signed. He looked at it and said “this is awesome...”, then signed it and announced cheerfully “top of the iceberg!! (his signature)” xDDDD. Then I gave him the book, and when he saw the “Mongoose” title, he GIGGLED, as if saying “aaah I know why this is called Mongoose”, but thankfully didn’t ask anything else (thankfully because that would’ve been TOO many emotions, for sure xD).

We went back to Bryan’s queue and I swear we were there for like an hour. BUT, THE MOMENT CAME FINALLY.

I was going first, and Emma was behind me. So I said hi, and he was as cheerful and kind as ever. The first thing I did was explain to him that we had brought him a letter from the @hannibalcreative, and I had brought him another letter and a poetry book I wanted to gift him, but the stewards had taken the gifts from us at the entry. And he said, “but they’re in my box???” (like, super excited), “Yeah, yeah, they’re in the box!” “Okay!!!” (he’s seriously the best xD). So I finally give him first Camille’s Holy Trinity print, he takes it and says “Oh Camille, she is SO talented...” (in case you missed it, Bryan fucking knOWS Camille, and he loves her art. He talked ABOUT HER on stage on one of the Q&As, and about the Cuba Kiss one with Hugh xDD), and Emma and I were like, “YES, SHE IS SO TALENTED!!” and he told us that he wanted a Cuba Kiss poster, so I told her, “well, you have her redbubble now!” (he asked her for a card) ahaha. 

So he signs the print, and then it was the book’s turn. He takes my book - which, by the way, MY copy of the book doesn’t have the title or name on the front, it’s just the ravenstag -, opens it and starts flipping through some pages, and then I start shaking, because he’s gonna ask, he’s gonna ask- and he asks: “whaaaaat... is this...?” So I go like “uuuuuuhhhh thissssssss issssss... a collection of.... fanfics that I wrote?? (I probably sounded stupid, but I was seriously like !!!!) My friends put them together to print them... and then... we printed a few more for people who asked for it...???” So in that moment Bryan looks up at me open-mouthed like !!, and asks, ASKS, “Oh!! Can I order it??” In that moment I started shaking (like, seriously), and I opened my mouth but my brain didn’t cooperate, and I think I only managed to mutter “uuuuuuuh” (bob Burger’s Tina style). But luckily, Emma was right beside me, and she reached for my backpack, yanked it open and pulled out the last extra copy of my book I had left, and says, “ACTUALLY! *puts book on table* she has an extra copy!” At that point I’m like “O__O”, and Bryan looks at it and then suddenly reaches to his back pocket, pulls out his wallet, and says “Oh! Can I buy it???”

And. Well.

I died right there.

(Because. Okay. Leave apart the fact that this is a book written by ME, which, HOLY FREAKING FUCK, but I’m actually a nobody. But can you fucking believe Bryan Fuller pulled out his wallet to PAY SOMEONE for a collection of FANFICS about HIS SHOW??? Like, who THE HELL DOES THAT??? With any other creator, they would’ve side-eye me, judged me, they would’ve probably thought “this isn’t exactly legal, you know?” or just said “ah, okay” and kept signing it. But no. BRYAN FULLER ASKED ME HOW COULD HE ORDER IT, AND THEN HE PULLED OUT HIS WALLET TO PAY ME.)

*Clears throat*

Okay, so. I obviously told him, “NO NONONO!! Please keep it!!!” Because I was NOT going to accept his money, like wtf!! And he asked, “you sure??” and I don’t know how I didn’t start chuckling bc !???!?, and said, “YES OF COURSE!!” So he picked up the book, put it on a small pile of things he had on the table, and looked me again in the eye and said “thank you!” to which I said “no, THANK YOU!” (I think I thanked him like a million times from that moment to the moment we left). After that, I was fucking dead, and didn’t catch it, but Emma told me he also touched the book right before signing mine, and said “I can’t wait to get on this”, so HAH BYE.

After that he finally signed my actual copy of the book (which I love because he chose THAT quote and I almost cried right there when I saw it), but in that moment I was like, “OH SHIT, I should tell him my book has... you know. SMUT!!!” So I went: “I should warn you, though, this has... this is...” and as I was so fucking dead, I coULDN’T FIND the word I was looking for (explicit, or something... you know. More subtle), so I blurted out: “PORN.” I think Bryan smiled and started waving his hand like “it’s okaaaay”, but I wasn’t finished, and I continued: “WELL, I mean. You showed us a DICK(*), soooooo...” and he nodded and said “Yeah! And I have porn too!” (which right now I don’t know if he means the pic he showed us, the book itself, or SOMETHING ELSE?? But oh, Bryan xDDD). So yeah, I’m the one that blurted out PORN in Bryan’s face because I couldn’t remember the proper word xD.

After that, he signed Emma’s things, I was like “holy fuck holy fuck hokyfcuk” meanwhile, and I even said “okay BYE!” before Emma was done, and I was like, “SHIT, COOL IT!” But how could I cool it xD. When she was done, I thanked him AGAIN for everything, and I went out of the autographs’ room while Emma told me to breathe or something, but I was seriously like “O____O”. I don’t know how I managed not to cry, but I was SO DEAD. After that, I went to my group of friends and collapsed on the floor (bless the floors, our friends this weekend), and took me like 2 hours to react xD

(*) At the Meet&Greet, he asked us what our favorite part of American Gods was, and I leaned forwards and asked, “you mean, apart from the Jinn chapter...?” He also leaned in and looked at me and said, “oh, YOU LIKED THAT? WELL!” and took his phone and searched for something while he explained to us that the special effects department had sent us a picture of the Jinn, and he sent it (I guess to the studio, or whatever? I can’t remember that detail, but anyway), but they asked him for a BIGGER penis *in that moment Bryan rolled his eyes xDDDD*, so as a joke, they did *THIS* And then he proceeded to show each of us the picture of the Jinn... naked... with a HUUUUGE penis. Like, yeah. They can’t complain with that lmaoooo (which, by the way, IT WAS SO FUCKING COOL and I can’t believe he showed us that and I can’t wait to see the show, AAHHHHH!!!!!). So after that, he also said that if we liked that, they’ll be doing it MUCH more explicit in the show, because if the book had a blowjob and then cuts to the aftermath, the show is gonna be EXPLICIT, because it’s two muslim men and IT’S WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO, and I was like, YASSSSS.

So, yeah. That was the story of how I talked about penises and blowjobs with Bryan Fuller, and then he tried to buy my SMUT. I am deceased 👌
