#cons: anime expo

[mightysen]

CHRISTMAS IN JULY CAME EARLY: Me and @chongoblog are at Anime Expo!! Stop by artist alley table J50 to snag some cool art and autographs!! 💫

All the autographs I got! The only person on my list I didn’t get was Matthew. His lines were long throughout the whole con. But I got a picture with him and he complimented my Shaggy cosplay, so I still consider it a win! He was super kind.

The Hazbin gang were all so sweet and talking to them was so much fun! They all seemed to love my Sir Pentious cosplay! Erika even asked for a pic to show Alex. He didn’t respond while I was there, but he’s a very busy person, so I get it completely ^^

I nearly cried when I got to meet Rob. I have looked up to him for so long and it was so amazing to finally meet him. He was as wonderful as you’d expect. It was super hard to choose which poster for him to sign because he plays so many characters I love. I ended up picking Donnie because TMNT 2012 is my favorite version and I never see anything for it. I was telling him about how even some of his super specific roles like Eric from The Little Mermaid 2 have stuck with me and he gave me a hug! He also addressed me in Donnie’s voice and knew how to spell my name without me even needing to tell him! Most people don’t spell it right. He also complimented my cosplay and asked me how to make it and everything (I was Sir Pentious that day). It was such a good time. I would talk with him all day if I could. I unfortunately didn’t get a picture with him because I didn’t have enough money (things tend to go wrong when I’m trying to save money and I had to pay to fix some things the month before fhfhfhdn). But I’m hoping to see him again one day and next time I will get a picture!

Grey was so fun to talk to! She actually had her hair put up with a pin to look like Azula (Avatar: The Last Airbender), another character she plays. She excitedly addressed me as Shaggy (the cosplay I was wearing that day), telling my sister and I to "throw Scooby Snacks at any monsters you see!" and told us not to unmask anyone :’) she’s so silly and fun I love herrr! She gave us a hug, too! Frank was super nice and loved the poster my sister brought for him to sign (she got it from an artist at the con) and he even did Scooby’s voice to us!

My sister is a big fan of Cameron Monaghan, so we went to his panel. She was able to get a pic and autograph with him, too! I don’t have the pictures with her because I don’t think she’d want me to post her face here lol.

I didn’t get an autograph from him because of money, but I also got to meet Johnny Yong Bosch! He’s most known for Ichigo from Bleach, but what I was excited for was talking to him about Danganronpa (he is Hajime and Rantaro)!

This is my haul I got from comic con (excluding the things that came with my ticket). I did, indeed, come home with 4 Miku figures. But one was free! Because at that booth it was buy 2, get 1 free.

I also got a Neighthan Rot doll for fairly cheap (they go as high as $70 online). Tbh a Monster High doll is the last thing I expected to get at a con, but I’m pretty down with it lol. Especially because it’s in great condition and still had his journal!

For the Harry Potter sticker and pin, we got those for free at a free Harry Potter trivia we went to because HP is my sister’s favorite book series. She also won a book she doesn’t have! It was like a Dumbledore side story (note: neither of us support or like Rowling as a person. She did not get any money out of us, as this was free).

The mushroom sticker was given to me by an artist as I passed their table! Their info is there on the sticker if you’re interested in their work!

The stickerssss! They make me so happy. There was so many more this artist had that I wanted, but I didn’t have the money for it, unfortunately. I got Ciel, Sebastian, Grell, and Undertaker (Black Butler), Bill, Stan, Wendy, Dipper, Mabel, and Waddles (Gravity Falls - they didn’t have Soos or Ford rip), Craig and Tweek (South Park), Sir Pentious (Hazbin Hotel), Stolas (Helluva Boss), Rampo (Bungou Stray Dogs), and Amaimon (Blue Exorcist).

This stuff came with my ticket! I LOVE the poster!

I didn’t get these, but I thought they were really funny.

i've got to stay more updated on when cons are happening in my area i cannot keep missing these things by mere shreds

Opinions on Meltan....just gathering info for meltanfan395 ....

I do not know who that is.

Meltan is a fine pokemon. It is not the subject of my field, so I do not know very much about it, but it is cute.

before i went to a con for the first time i felt so awkward and distant in fandom spaces??? but since then ive never had purer interactions than those with the junko cosplayer I sat with waiting for a critical role panel. talking to an imogen temult cosplayer with their partner dressed as pat from ghosts and comparing d&d experience. having someone random come up to me and go OH WE’RE THE SAME CHARACTER CAN WE TAKE A PHOTO! and feeling that warm fuzzy feeling.

it’s hard sometimes to remember that despite toxicity, fandom is really where humans come together to just ENJOY things. pour creativity and life and time and it’s all just so lovely.

Back to back to back!

I know it shouldn't have, but it caught me completely off guard when Ryan and Natalie both knew I was cosplaying Fred! And so did a person in line for Chris' table (they said they'd be Moriarty [I presume William?] today; hopefully I'll find 'em)! c:

I wasn't really expecting it, 'cause y'know, Fred is kinda always off to the side and doesn't talk much. I was just so ecstatic!

Anyway, they are all wanting a continuation of the anime just as much as the rest of us do. Hopefully we'll get that wish one day sooner than later!

See you next week!

Just sketched out my first notebook cover !

Notebooks will cost RM20,

I buy actual notebooks and will draw on the one by one because getting notebooks to be manufactured is too expensive for my current budget.

Webzine 02 is out on Patreon and with it the list of moots and faves who are tabling this summer in the US and Europe (that I could find...)

I would love to do this again next year! So if I forgot a friend, let me know if you intend to table next year, I would love to shout you out.

This month on the webzine: Commissions (BCS, Disco Elysium), the Graphic novel pitches I am working on, Moodboards, and artist spotlight!

You can read the webzine for any amount donated.
