Since you've been going to it forever, what did you think of the new venue for Holmat?

Honestly I really liked it!! I know folks have been pretty negative about it but here’s my honest breakdown:

It felt like pre 2012 megacon. And I mean that in the best way possible.

The dealers room was huge and the artists alley was MASSIVE. I mean huge. With a fantastic selection of merch and goodies. I didn’t do many panels (they’re not really my thing) but the ones we did end up in were fun.

My only real complaint was the organization of where things were located because it was a HIKE to get from panel to panel. One can assume the OCCC doesn’t allow 18+ panels so those were all held in the Hyatt at night which meant going back and forth over the skybridge depending on where you wanted to be. The con center is pretty spread out in general meaning you always had to be walking to get from place to place. No big deal to me but I was in God’s worst shoes accidentally so my feet are a mess.

A lot of folks are bitching but like… what else did you want them to do? I’ve been going to HolMat since it’s literal first year when it was at the double tree across from Universal. Yeah the Marriott world is fancy but holy shit, everything else about it was a NIGHTMARE. Hotels, parking, transportation, overcrowding- HolMat is a nationally popular con, it has been for years, and it should’ve moved to the OCCC years ago.

It never felt crowded (besides between some of the AA booths, which could’ve been spread out more) in a way that I felt like I was going to fucking die BUT there were still PLENTY of people. Merch and AA selections were great, again, which is huge for me because even at NYCC I barely found ANYTHING I wanted.

It being in the West Concourse brought up SO many memories of old Megacon before it became unfathomably crowded and popular. I absolutely believe the people bitching are just mad about not having their fancy pool cosplays anymore. Could it be a little more decorated? Yeah I think. Panel locations better organized? Absolutely. Staff less power tripping and better trained? You bet. But the space was PERFECT for the number of people. Plus even not staying in the host hotels, there are so many within SUPER easy walking distance which made parking way less of an issue.

Genuinely I don’t know what folks who’re mad wanted. It has outgrown all the reasonable hotels in Orlando besides MAYBE (MAYBE- I don’t know all the deets on their convention space) the Gaylord but because ICE! Is there during December it could never happen.

Anyway, had a genuinely great time. 8/10, better space organization and move it to early December again please

ah so I’ve finished rewatching fmab again. *admires Edward shirt* hopefully I don’t become unobsessed soon *puts on Alphonse sweatshirt* it’d be a shame *drops art book* oopsies let me grab that *drops 4 koma book* darn im real clumsy today hopefully I’ll be able to focus in class *opens 4 fmab fanfic wips, one of which is only in planning stages but said planning stages comprise of 60+ pages of info* darn I already can’t wait for next weekend *counting saved cash to find more fmab stickers at megacon*

I don’t foresee it going away anytime soon. dear irl friends, you’ll have to deal with it…

on an unrelated little note before I even began my rewatch and became obsessed again I was at a con in July and one booth was selling these stickers of crocodile ed from that one scene where he’s making fun of Mustang and I said “wow I love fmab I need to watch it again” and the artist was so happy and we had a convo about it and a guy walking by overheard and joined the convo and we had a nice little talk about how much we love Edward and then these people dropped their ages and they were late 20s and early 30s and here I am saying 18 😭😭 I bought the sticker btw gotta support artists!! that wasn’t a little note my apologies I just like to ramble

[jocelynships]

You know. Sometimes it hits me how much better life has gotten for me since all the bullshit I dealt with in 2016-early 2019. And god. It makes me emotional.

Putting stuff under a read more bc it does get a little heavy but it’s good

Not gonna ramble too much, but I was my very alone. Literally had no one in my family to rely on, and most of my friends lived super far away from me, so I didn’t see them often. And I was. Very isolated bc I wasn’t allowed to have a job or try to get a car. My grandparents would take me to college and that was it.

I was suicidal at that point and it wasn’t fun. I never had a plan or like. Cut myself. But I didn’t take care of myself at all. I was depressed all the time and didn’t find joy in anything except really self shipping. And even though the therapist I saw for a couple months wasn’t a good fit especially when she tried to pull my dad into everything, she did approve of that and said it was a good coping method.

But man. I wish so badly I could go back in time and hug my 18-20 year old self and tell her of all the amazing things that have happened to us.

We got to work at Disney. We got the most amazing boyfriend ever. His friends are amazing too! We finally got to go to Megacon, we met and are going to continue to meet our online friends. We met the voices of Sonic, Wolverine, and the Ninja Turtles! And speaking of Sonic, he finally got his movies and it they are GOOD! We saw Cats live on stage! We saw KISS, The Killers and Paramore live! We got our license and a car! We’re finally moving out away from our family! We work at Universal now! We’re finding happiness in small things again!

I just know younger me would be so happy to hear of these things. She’d be over the moon.

I’m just. Really grateful for all of this. And what really made me realize I’m finally becoming happy again is someone gave me a friendship bracelet on my way out of work tonight all because they liked my backpack and the pins I had, and it made my whole entire day.

I’m just. So happy right now. And so happy I had these fictional characters to help me through such a rough time in my life.

[btbigelow]

here's to a hopefully prosperous and fruitful 2025 for all of us!! This is my confirmed convention lineup for 2025. I'm still waiting to hear back from some events. Next up: Megacon. I still can't believe I got in T v T I've been hard at work preparing for it, and admittedly I've sort of been spreading myself thin, hence my lack of posting here. Maybe after I can relax and take time on the commission queue.
