My MomoCon Highlights:

- Dana. Complimented. Me. On. My. Eda. Dress

Not the first compliment of the con. I had purposely tucked away the dress until Sunday for the Owl House panel day and when I was going to get the group photo. So it wasn't what I wore the preceeding days.

I got several about my CHB shirt on Saturday (the day before). Along with a couple of conversations about my Friday outfit including with Cissy herself.

But Dana’s compliment on Sunday during the group photo was what completely sent me into a short circuit.

If you know my history and love for Eda as a character then this isn’t a surprise that I totally short circuited after.

I honest to god don't know if she remembered the conversation or me showing her the photo of me in the same dress at the half marathon at Disneyland in January. When I had shown it to explain to her just how much Eda had impacted my life in the last few years. I do know she and the others I showed it too (I showed it to Sarah and Cissy) all thought it was the coolest thing at the time. And were absolutely astounded in the best way to find out I also did marathons! (which realizing that conversation also happened is starting to cause me reshort circuit a whole second time. Whoops!)

And follow up to that which is no surprise Dana was a total sweetheart even before the compliment. It’s always a bit scary to meet people that you’ve come to look up to for one reason or another. (the phrase never meet your heroes can unfortuantely be a real thing. Thankfully it was not an issue with Dana.)

And my tremor acted up a ton when meeting her and Sarah definitely didn’t help with the nerves.

And while I had no reason to get worried it was still nice. We got to talking about panels and stuff. I showed her some of my racing stuff.

I can't begin to emphasize the fact that she was genuinely extremely nice. And was taking time to talk to everyone who came up.

(fun fact I thought I was going to be late to get this print. But I wasn't.)

- Pretty much every member of the owl house crew gave me a compliment on my cane/staff. Even had one ask me where I got it from. That was unexpected but totally awesome.

Cissy and I had a whole conversation about costumes!

I was dressed up as Lilith from 2A on Friday when I was going around getting the first set of autographs and photos. So she saw me in the low battery conversation and we got started talking. And she mentioned she was going to be the same shirt on Saturday.

(She did for the record. I saw her wearing it when waiting for Zeno and Erica autographs both of whom were also nice)

Seriously the whole Owl House crew was super nice in every interaction I had with them. You always get a range of comments and reactions (nothing ever really bad) at cons. Because its cons ya know. Things are busy and crazy and you might not always catch every one on their best day. But I had nothing but compliments for the Owl House side.

I finally got a signed copy of this poster from Matt! I've always wanted a copy of this poster but never really could seem to time the Streamily signings right to pick one up. So I was delighted to see he was selling copies of this to pick one up.

(Also IDK if the person who found it after I accidentally dropped it in the exhibitor hall is on here when trying to shuffle my stuff around. But if you are. Thank you for turning it into lost and found at Momocon. I thought there was no way I was getting this back.)

Honestly I picked up a bunch of signed art at the con. The most I think I've ever done in one go. No regrets. That needs to be its own post though so I'll share another day.

CAINE ANGST / LORE THEORY 🎩🎪 !

hey guys, just before I get into the theory, you may think this is a bit of a stretch or overboard, and that’s okay, if you don’t believe the theory you can scroll or maybe interpret this as just something to think about instead 🙏

Alright so, this whole theory kind of came into my mind as I was just watching TikTok, and I came across this edit of AM from ihnmaims which apparently, gooseworx took inspiration off of for Caine, except the evil part, gooseworx confirmed that Caine isn’t really evil, he’s just oblivious

I’m gonna take the following quote to base this post on, as this quote was what got me thinking; “because in all this, wonderful, beautiful, miraculous world, I alone. Had no body. No senses, no feelings, never for me. To plunge my hands in cool water on a hot day. Never for ME, to play MOZART on the ivory keys on a (?) piano, NEVER FOR ME. To make love. I.. I.. I was in HELL, looking at heaven, I was machine. And you, were flesh.”

So, taking from this, 2 lines specifically stand out to me the most here “I was in hell, looking at heaven”, you can tell the circus means a lot to Caine, which means he must view the circus as heaven, and also the line “I was machine. And you, were flesh.” It’s not a secret that Caine is AI and the other circus members are all human, as it is stated multiple times in the pilot episode

I know you all are thinking “but bubble, the moon & the sun and NPCS are all AI too?” well yes, they are, but if you think about it on a deeper level, they aren’t real, they aren’t real people, they’re all just caine’s creations, Caine made them by himself, so really, that just means Caine must’ve been lonely and decided to create them 😕

To back this up, you can notice how majority of the AI / NPCS just praise Caine and tell him things to make him feel good about himself, like the moon when she says she loves him (I don’t ship them btw!), princess loolilalu who calls him god, and bubble who consistently encourages Caine, majority of them all just seem to praise Caine

Which led me to thinking, Caine had obviously created all the other AI before the human circus members entered the circus, meaning he was entirely on his own before they appeared, he must’ve felt so lonely that he decided to create AI / NPCS that mimic other humans, NPCS & AIS that make him feel loved, and special, since they all seem to, well majority of them, praise him in some sort of way ☹️

What if he just doesn’t know what real love feels like, what if he wants to feel loved, what if he just programmed these AIS & NPCS so he could feel loved in some way, Gooseworx has also hinted at possible Caine angst in the future episodes too, as when Gooseworx, pomni’s va, and caine’s va were at momocon, alex, caine’s va was saying how he can sympathise with Caine, which gooseworx replied back to him saying “I hope you guys are ready for that..” also, on an older post gooseworx made, someone asked if Caine can feel loneliness, which gooseworx replied to them with a picture of jax smirking, hinting that Caine can feel loneliness ☹️☹️

THAT IS ALL I HAD TO SAY THOUGH REALLY, JUST A THOUGHT, I mean to me personally, it does make a lot of sense, and it’d be interesting to see how Caine angst will unfold in the future episodes, this theory may seem a bit of a stretch, but again, it is just my thoughts, it doesn’t mean I’m necessarily right, I just think it’s interesting to think about in my opinion 😭🙏 it got me thinking after seeing the AM edit, as I’m aware that Caine is inspired by him, he’s just not as evil as AM

NOBODY CAN EVER MAKE ME HATE CAINE, GUYS, I AM HIS #1 DEFENDER. 😞

Hey everyone, hope you are all having a good one,

Kyoko cane is in the midst of making her momocon performance outfit for next Saturday.

and I know I don’t post often as much because of life situations and looking for work.

Since I love dabbling in this art to expand my world of work.

TOON THEORY: Team LHHAFBBHQ was turned into the Supervisors

Insane ramblings under the cut. 

As I was wistfully recalling my time at Toonfest at Momocon 2023 and the cherished memories I made there, I wondered to myself;

“Huh. We haven’t heard about the Executive Office Tower in a hot minute, I kinda expected it to come up during one of the panels. Ah well, it's nice to see the Cog Facilities revamped, and those new Supervisor Cogs are really cool-”

That’s when the first of many thoughts struck my optimism-addled brain. 

“Huh. Team LHAAFBBHQ was made up of two guys and two girls. The new Supervisors are made up of two guys… and two girls.”

I, like many of you, rolled my eyes at this thought at first. Two guys and two girls in a team of four is just balanced character design. But that inconsequential little detail opened the floodgates to more tiny details that quickly added up in a big-and uncomfortable- way. 

Who’s Who?

I found the character summaries for Team LHAAFBBHQ and the new Supervisors, and started comparing. Some details fit together more cleanly than others, and there weren't any massive smoking guns, but there were frequent enough small details that led me to believe that what I was seeing was more than coincidence.

I collected my resources and made highlights that I thought were of interest, with some notes to explain my thought process. Maybe you can see something that I couldn’t.

Captain Rollie Dandysnooker - The Factory Foreman

Similar carelessness. Rollie has a history of getting the rest of the team into slapstick scenarios, which is hinted to be reflected in the Foreman’s behavior

Unfortunately (or fortunately), there don’t appear to be any other parallels at this time, or at least none I could see. 

Prof. Von Fumblesplat - The Mint Auditor

Both Auditor and Fumblesplat are described as intelligent and analytical

Both summaries make a point that they plan ahead for multiple possibilities

Silly Lilly Gigglesnout - The Office Clerk

Lilly is known to be quiet; possible connection to Clerk’s abhorrence to Sound?

Lilly is the intelligence gatherer of the team, and The Clerk’s control of her witnesses gives her control of the information in the court

Lilly is described to be knowledgeable of everything and everyone in Toontown. Where better to store that knowledge than the library?

The Office Clerk’s face is very long, almost stretched out, kind of like a horse Toon’s (“Why the long face?”)

Colonel Violet Supergrooven - The Club President

Violet is the strongest in combat in the team. As the Bossbot Supervisor, The Club President is the strongest of her peers.

How could this have happened?

The back of the President’s hair strongly resembles the “hair” of a cat Toon. This detail is in almost all of her progress sketches. 

Edit: a detail noticed by @surleetonin:

As anyone who has been keeping track of Team LHAAFBBHQ’s last known whereabouts knows, it’s all but confirmed that the team is (or was) being held prisoner in the Executive Office Tower on Bossbot HQ property. 

The first hint we got to the Supervisor’s existence we got was an Email from The Chairman himself, in a memo to the entire company. However, when it came to the debut, who made the big announcement?

So… What now?

The CEO. Why is HE the one who “hired” the Supervisors, when the idea was The Chairman’s?

To link the Supervisors to the Bossbots, and maybe, just maybe, Team LHAAFBBHQ, who were taken by the very Bossbots they had set out to find. 

Maybe I’m wrong. Heck, It’s very likely I’m wrong. Mayeb the Supervisors were hires from outside the company, robbing a poor Flunky of his hard-earned promotion. Maybe Team LHAAFBBHQ got distracted playing the world’s longest game of Toono. Or Maybe Joey and the gang just forgot about the Executive Office Tower entirely. 

…But I don’t think they did. The Rewritten team forgetting, I mean, the other two things are very likely to happen.

Just after Team LHAAFBBHQ went missing and BBHQ was hunted around and found, Sir Max, AKA Joey, teased the possibility of a new playground. At an earlier Toonfest, the team announced they were going to redo all the textures in the game. Both promises remained dormant and unfulfilled… until this year’s Toonfest, which confirmed both. 

In Conclusion:

I have full faith that the dedicated team behind Rewritten hasn’t forgotten the Tower, or Team LHAAFBBHQ. And I know that they’re going to come back, in some way, shape, or form.

I am mentally ill :)

Hi there! I just wanted to say my friend and I saw your "If you kill me" amv at momo and loved it so much!! thank u for sharing :)

Hi hi! This was such a sweet message to find in my inbox! Thank you!!

MomoCon this year was my first time ever making finals at an AMV contest, and it still honestly feels unreal. Thanks really must go to SLICE (Short Little Iron Chef Edits), at BentoVid, though! I don't think I would have ever found that song and made the video if I didn't participate in the challenge.

And fun fact! This year's Coordinator's Choice at MomoCon was also a SLICE video! That's sadly not in this playlist (because it's not on YouTube now), but there are more SLICE videos here!

I'm so so grateful I was able to be a part of SLICE and subsequently a part of MomoCon this year. Thank you again for the sweet message!!
