I'm a little nervous about advertising this because I don't want to doxx myself, but you can get these stickers (available by donation) this weekend at Phoenix Fan Fusion in Phoenix, Arizona. Look for the table with the live reptiles - I won't be there, unfortunately, so I don't know exactly where it will be located.

Hopefully one day I'll be able to set up a dedicated online store with more designs, but that's way in the future if it happens at all. In the meantime, I hope you like these little guys!

My bff and I are going to Phoenix FanFusion next month and I'm really excited. I've never been to any con ever before despite 1, living in San Diego (where like one of the most famous comic conventions is located every year) and 2, being like a nerd for over 10 years and into all that nerdy crap. I just don't have local friends and I don't like big crowds that much so... whatever...

Anyways, I'm really excited though because my friend and I are going to cosplay when we go and I've got my two outfits fairly sorted out and they look pretty good I think!

First my friend is making a Howl costume from Howls Moving Castle, so I'm going as Sophie-

And two, she's going to dress as Terra from Teen Titans and I put together a sort of casual ish Raven outfit. I didn't really like the idea of wearing a long sleeve black turtleneck in June in Arizona so... tank top turtleneck. Plus shorts and not the like underwear bottom she usually has lol

Breaking Down "i barely know you"

This is technically for a panel at Phoenix Fan Fusion, but I thought I'd share it to give you guys a taste of what to expect from me at Phoenix Fan Fusion.

Going to comicon tomorrow in this bad boy, if anyone wants the pattern I’ll give you the link to the Etsy shop.

Even though I refuse to watch Dark Pheonix for multiple reasons, I am in fact going as Erik in the black coat from that movie.

F to me

Toronto comic con was so fun ;0;

Had a blast chatting with people and selling my wares!! Met so many wonderful people and hope to see them again some other con ^_^

There's so few situations where hot glue is the best adhesive for the job. Basically any other adhesive is usually better

The first time the Dagger Squad meets Darlin'

I just know they have some interesting opinions

Listen, you and I have talked about this enough to know for a fact that the opinions are flowing freely lol. I wrote about them meeting her in this post, but here are some specific thoughts/opinions everyone has in their own minds about her:

Javy: Well, this explains why Jake has been acting so weird. I would also be afraid to introduce my hot girlfriend to this group of horny assholes.

Natasha: Oh, this is too good. The jokes are practically writing themselves. She's twenty years old! I'll never run out of material ever again! Okay, Phoenix, start out by ribbing on him about dropping her off at daycare, and then work up to her spending his pension while she's still in college.

Bob: Thank goodness I'm not the only one drinking a ginger ale. It looks like hers is almost empty. Should I offer to get her another can? Will she think I'm weird? Am I weird? Will Jake be annoyed? Whatever, I'm just going to ask.

Mickey: Damn, she's like way too young for Jake. What's he thinking? Hmmm... I wonder if she likes comic books. I wonder if she goes to ComiCon. I wonder if she'll help me finally convince everyone to do a group costume this year.

Reuben: Don't make fun of Jake. Don't make fun of Jake. Don't make fun of Jake. Oh fuck it, I'm doing it.

Bradley: She looks so familiar. I swear I saw her at the Hard Deck before....

So the thing about me that's the biggest threat to my geek cred is that I love the third X-Men movie, The Last Stand. Love it. It's terrible and cheesy and ridiculous and the only thing that would make it better for me was if Alan Cumming had returned as Nightcrawler, but otherwise, it's my favorite. Everyone has universally decided it was the worst and ignore it, and I'm just sittin' over here with a special place for it in my heart. I am a fucking sucker for the big finale fight, I love Pyro, and nothing compares to me to seeing the Golden Gate Bridge scene for the first time when I was maybe 12(?). I was in awe. I haven't had that same "Oh shit" feeling again in any of the newer movies, and sure, some of that is because I'm not watching with childhood wonder anymore, but I still love the scene. When I got the chance to meet Chris Claremont at a comicon when I was 16 or 17, I got the novelization he wrote of The Last Stand signed; I guarantee I was the only one, and tell you what, it means more to me than if he'd signed yet another copy of the Dark Phoenix Saga, because I don't have the same emotional connection to it. It's one of my prize possessions.

I say all this so you know the sheer size of when I say, I saw Deadpool & Wolverine today, and that might be my new favorite.

Of course, I'll have to watch The Last Stand again to be SURE...

Epoxied this pin to a new badge reel for work, the Rogue Squadron badge reel I bought @ Phoenix Comicon in 2015 is on its last legs

What if Bella was Fae and didn't know it? The parameters for this are broad, so let's just say shortly after Bella was born, Renée took a trip to Ireland and left Bella in a stroller by the woods. Bella gets switched with a changeling and Renée never finds out.

Assuming Bella makes it to Forks, how does Twilight go down? (Feel free to give Bella whatever powers you think she should have/shouldn't have.)

I mean, first off, even if we get to Twilight, things are going to be very different.

Bella Loves Forks

Forks, a rural town with relatively little iron and steel compared to large American cities, feels great for Bella who's in constant pain in places like Phoenix with her mother.

Renee really hates on Forks, and Bella wants to hate it for a long time, but good god it's like getting medication.

However, we'll say that Renee got weird on Bella liking Forks too much so Bella awkwardly stopped going because it was clear shit would go down at home if she kept going. Bella and Charlie's relationship becomes strained then non-existent because of this.

So she only ends up in Forks in 2005 but uh... very clearly jumps on the excuse to go. Oh, you're married, Renee? Well gee shucks I've got to go live in Forks now, byeeeee.

This is made awkward as Bella can't lie (even more so than in canon, she physically cannot lie) so she has to dance around the topic whenever Renee asks her why she wants to move.

Bella's in Forks Now

Bella's determined to be a normal teenager. She fucked up at her last school by being weird all the time, but now is her time to shine. She will be a normal person, with normal friends, and nobody will think she's strange!

Bella fucks this up by speaking in verse at lunch about getting drunk on wine under the full moon's light.

"FUCK" - Bella Swan

Well, she's hot enough that this doesn't matter to the guys and Jessica... stares a bit but goes with it. So Bella's a huge nerd, she can date Eric and they can go to Comicon together dressed as hobbits or whatever.

Across the lunchroom, the Cullens stare and ask for dirt on the new girl. As before, Edward finds her overrated but finds he can't read her thoughts. He concludes she's uppity and has a desperate need for attention based on her constantly talking in verse.

They get to Biology where...

Edward doesn't smell the smell. Bella's one of the fair folk now, she's not human, she's going to smell weird but not delicious. Edward gives her a very funny look and concludes, eventually, she's not like Ephraim was (as Edward also thinks the shifter line died out).

He and Bella spend the lecture giving each other the side eye. Bella's spidey senses are tingling with this one and she tries to ignore it because nothing good comes from her spidey senses, it always leads to weird.

She decides it's just because he's hot and she must like him.

Yes.

That's what normal girls do.

Bella is a normal girl.

And Then?

See, the thing is, I doubt Bella can or will drive because too much fashioned metal. Bella tells Charlie, for reasons she will not explain, that she must walk to school. Charlie at this point doesn't question this, Bella's hated cars since birth.

As a result, she does not nearly get crushed by Tylor's van and is not carted off to the hospital where Carlisle would certainly no she's not human.

So, nothing happens.

Bella and Edward sit next to each other, but he just thinks she's weird and boring. Bella, for her own part, continues to tell herself she's hopelessly in love with Edward Cullen (because look how hot he is) and that these aren't the spidey sense tingles.

Weird stuff happens, I imagine, like Bella accidentally turning things into trees, being unable to cross lines of salt, being unable to cross running water, but everyone ignores this as the Cullens don't care and everyone else is too weirded out.

Twilight never happens.
