== Con, Vico, Nathan, Kristian ==

This past weekend, Con, Vico, Nathan, and Kristian were out in Columbus Ohio at Galaxy Con! As you can see by the photos below, the sheer amount of Pirates that were that was immense! I've read so many wonderful stories from all our crewmates on every social media platform-- and it sounded like an absolute divine experience! It sounds like some folks got some food poisoning thought! I hope you all are feeling so much better by now!

Con sent a very sweet note after the con on his Threads (I ran out of screenshots on tumblr so here it is in text!): "Dear people of galaxyconcolumbus we can we saw (we got horrible food poisoning but that's another story) and we meet the most beautiful, powerful, weird, filthy souls and you touched our hearts. Thanks you one and all for the glorious weekend ... you are loved, your are powerful, you are the future. Don't walk...fly x"

Nathan apparently found his favorite food ever at the hotel coffee shop in Columbus, he posted more than once about them. Anyone from the con know what's in those? 👀

Some of you may recognize Joel Perez from Helluva Boss amongst other voice work! Vico and Nathan got to hang with him at GCC!

Vico kept us well fed with pictures of their Izzy Drag costume and pics hanging with Con at the One More Song Drag & Variety show!

The absolute sweetest, badass crewmate out there-- Irene Adler was kind enough to let me share these pictures of Con at the OFMD Panel. These shots gave me some wonderful laughs and you can just feel the joy there, thank you Irene!

= Fan Spotlight =

= One More Song =

From what I hear, the One More Song Drag and Variety show was absolutely unforgettable! Between all the extremely talented performers-- Con's attending his first drag show, and Vico's stellar performance, you can just feel the buzzing of energy popping out of the screen-- I can't even imagine what it was like in person! Not only was it fabulous, but the proceeds raised were for an amazing cause -- the Kaleidoscope Youth Center. The version on youtube is just the live version, they'll be working on a full edited version of the show. You can follow their social media accounts @onemoresongofmd. In the meantime, if you would like to donate to the Kaleidoscope Youth Center cause you can do so here: https://kyc.app.neoncrm.com/forms/onl... and if you'd like to let them know One More Song is how you found them, they'd greatly appreciate it!

== Love Notes ==

Hey there Lovelies! Gosh the amount of love and sheer joy I've heard about from the convention is just beyond belief. I've talked to so many different folks, that span from all across the fandom, and everyone has such beautiful stories of camaraderie and kindness! I wanted to say-- Some of my dear friends passed on your well wishes (I wasn't able to make it even though I really wanted to and was planning on it earlier in the year) and hearing that some of you were thinking of me really warmed my heart (I may have cried a bit, but it was a good cry). So thank you so much, the message did reach me!

I don't think you all know just how much those of us who can't make it to conventions appreciate all the joy and fun you all share on your socials. We're getting a glimpse of the glee there and it helps us feel like we're not missing out on the wonder of this fandom. I saw the group selfie, and you know what? It made me so very happy. I recognized SO VERY MANY of you, even though we've never met in person. I see your smiling faces across social media, and even if I only know you by your online handle, I've come to know so many of you and so when you all get together like this-- it's like the best thing in the world. Getting to see so many people I recognize and interact with and care about all in one place having such a great time is honestly just such a wonderful gift. I know that we're a few days after the convention now, and I know a lot of folks are experiencing Post-Con depression/funk and I just wanted to send you a reminder that nothing is over. You aren't in person anymore right now, but your presence is everywhere, and people get genuine joy from it and you every single day. If you're feeling the drop in dopamine, remember to drink some water, get some rest, and pop back on when you're ready. We love you crew. Take care lovelies <3

was really looking forward to seeing what happens to Ed and Stede and the Inn. if they manage to make it work or if it will be up in flames with them back on the Revenge within a week. it now seems like we’ll never know and yet we get to watch every scenario under the sun play out in fic and art. the ending we got was not enough and yet it also felt like the perfect ellipses on their story. the possibilities are endless. they lived happily ever after. and will forever.

[celesmaxwell]
