#nekocon 2021

[queerasdaycosplay]

Nekocon 2021 was a little disappointing because I couldn’t get time off work, but I did go Saturday and Sunday! I was Wooloo on Saturday and apparently didn’t get any pictures but I got to wear Vanillish to a con finally and get some good pictures!

Prompt: “You… made me a cake?”

It had been a simple joke, Clavis thought. She was naïve enough to believe him. Let her think that it was his birthday when it very much wasn’t. He, however, did not expect to see Emma at his door looking a little tired, a smudge of flour on her jaw, absolutely beaming at him. The cake was simple yet elegant, with a very proud ‘Happy Birthday Prince Clavis!’ written on it in icing. It had all started earlier in the day when she had been pestering Chevalier in a way that had Clavis rolling every time he witnessed their interactions. From her stubbornness to his disdain, it was always amusing. Everything halted when she asked when Chevalier’s birthday was.

“That’s hardly any of your concern.”

Chevalier’s words were short and his look was scathing. Clavis saw his opportunity and came around the corner, tapping Emma on the shoulder. He grinned as she leapt and squeaked.

“My Belle, I know what should be your concern. Today is, in fact, my birthday.”

Their conversation had waned when Emma became lost in her own thoughts. Clavis had not, however, expected this as the outcome.

“You… made me a cake?” He asked softly, unable to keep the surprise off his face. He felt his heart stutter and something in his core shake at the purity of her actions and the way she was literally beaming at him.

“Of course! I couldn’t just let your birthday go by. I can’t believe no one is doing anything to celebrate and I-” She paused and looked at him. He still looked stunned and even had a faint flush to his cheeks. “Clavis, are you feeling alright? Oh, was no one celebrating today because you weren’t feeling well? I should have asked before-”

Emma’s words were cut off as Clavis quickly brought both her and the cake into his room. He put the cake down quickly on the nearest surface he could before enveloping her in a tight, but not suffocating hug. Emma let out a noise of surprise before gently returning it. “You’re too good for your own good, you know,” he murmured into her ear, pressing his temple gently against her head. “Allowing yourself to be pranked with the most radiant heart,” he continued, giving her a sheepish smile as she pulled her head back. He took it as a good sign that she hadn’t let go of him completely.

“I know.” Clavis pulled back now, blinking in disbelief at the coy smile that appeared on Emma’s face. He opened his mouth to speak but felt he looked rather like a goldfish, unable to form words. Emma giggled and squeezed Clavis a little tighter. “Yves told me. Can you believe he helped me with this cake anyways?” Clavis’ disbelief turned into a genuine laugh, making Emma’s smile go wider. He hugged her close again and placed a lingering kiss on her cheek.

“Keeping me on my toes, little mouse? I suppose you’ll learn a thing or two before you have to leave.”

My #1 post of 2022

Random Ikemen Headcanons:

Pregnancy/Dad edition

Includes 18+ Content

~*Minors DNI*~

IkeRev:

Sirius has wanted a family as long as he can remember. Growing up with little siblings all over the place is a comfort for him. And when you ask him about having kids he’s honestly a little nervous that you don’t want them but respects your choice either way. (That just means he’ll get to be the cool uncle) (Fenrir and Ray disagree) He still gets dad of the year every year, though. Calls the kids ‘sprout’.

Blanc didn’t realize it was his kink until it slipped out one night nonchalantly over tea. “Blanc, I know you like kids but… what about ours?” It was good Oliver had moved elsewhere by this point because you two fucked. Like. Rabbits. While you both thoroughly enjoyed the process of getting pregnant, Blanc absolutely spoils you when you’re pregnant. Massages, carrying you whenever he gets the chance, begging Luka to make you whatever strange food you want. And once the baby is here? Proudest papa when their hair goes white and is admittedly a little nervous that he can be a good dad.

Kyle is excited and nervous the entire time you’re pregnant. Thankfully he has a good role model in his dad and it seems almost effortless how well he parents. You just know you’re in for a world of trouble when you see them, a grown man and toddler, studying a medicine book intently. Guess it’s time to brush up on your genius wrangling skills!

IkeVamp:

Arthur would cry when he learned you were pregnant. There’s 0 way he wouldn’t. Absolutely doting with an edge of being terrified that something will go wrong and he’ll lose the most precious person(s) in his life. A good dose of reality from you and Theo sets him straight. He helped deliver and he was trying not to cry then, too. An absolutely doting father, there’s certainly mischief abound later down the road.

Shakespeare is terrified he’s not going to be a good father. He can put on a brave face all he wants, but you know the man under the actor’s mask. With his history with you and everyone else in the mansion, he wonders what karma has blessed him with a child and without a doubt, come hell or high water, puts you and baby first. He’s initially nervous with the baby but, thanks to plenty of support from you and baby’s 11 uncles, he adjusts just fine. Your favorite is watching Will put them to bed with a bedtime story that he makes up on the spot and never the same story twice.

Leonardo’s cigarillo literally falls out of his mouth when you tell him you’re pregnant. Followed immediately by cursing in Italian before taking you up in his arms with his eyes shining “Cara mia, you’re serious, yes?” His voice is slightly strained and he nuzzles into your neck at the confirmation. He’s excited and he’s already tinkering with wood and paper making toys and puzzles and anything else you could imagine for your future child. He knows you like your independence in doing things but he’s more insistent than usual in helping you to do things. Once baby is here, Leonardo is most often found napping with baby on his chest and an arm around them protectively. Lumière basically became a big brother and seeing all three of them napping was one of the sweetest sights to see in the world. As baby grows, Leonardo slowly works on teaching them everything he knows along with plenty of play (Leonardo wouldn’t admit it but he loved the puppet shows he and every one of baby’s uncles put on with the shadow puppets he made.)

IkeSen:

Hideyoshi is mama bear. Like, to the extreme. You’ll need to remind him to calm down a lot but he’s so protective and loyal to your little (for now) family. He’s the ultimate giver of piggy back rides and learns how to braid hair for his little girl and teaches his sons about dismantling toxic masculinity.

Sasuke is nervous but he studies and studies and studies anything he can get his hands on when it comes to rearing children. He even goes to Kenshin, Shingen, and Yoshimoto for advice. You both thought about going back to the future for this but decided on staying 500 years in the past. Yukimura is named the fun uncle and the kids tease him all the time. Sasuke is ridiculously patient as a dad and you tell him you appreciate him whenever you can. From words to new foods to potty training, Sasuke is basically a saint. You’re only thankful you don’t have to teach them how to drive.

Masamune is ridiculously excited to hear news that you’re pregnant. He definitely flaunts it and is so happy to show you off and dote on you. He gladly makes you whatever crazy foods you want, even trying to recreate things from 500 years in the future for you. Once the baby is here he’s quiet with awe and you swear you saw a little watering at the corner of his eyes. To say he’s a devoted father is the understatement of the century. You just have to reign him in when he tries to do ridiculous things like having a small saddle commissioned for your baby to ride Shogetsu.

IkePri:

Chevalier knew before you did that you were pregnant, surprise surprise. What did surprise you, however, was how much more expressive he was in his protection over you as well as physically needing to be closer to you most of the time. Of course you didn’t complain, receiving a small “That’s ridiculous,” (definitely not Chev’s way of saying yes) conjoined with him nuzzling his face into the crook of your neck when you asked if he felt more protective now. He seemed to read your kind as always, even if he couldn’t be to your now shared room first he had servants draw you perfectly tempered baths and clothing that was easy for you to dress in. The amount of pressure you felt at the upcoming birth was initially astounding until a night Chevalier reminded you that this baby will be here as a result of your love for one another and not the pressures of politics. Once the baby is born you discover that Chevalier has another type of smile: one reserved solely for your baby. It is the softest smile you’ve ever seen him wear and it absolutely melts your heart. Of course his love for books must’ve been built in through DNA because they’re following along with bedtime stories line to line perfectly.

Sariel is shook. He’s calm on the outside, of course, but inside he’s honestly panicking a little. Most of his parenting experience had been with the twins and that situation had been… an intensely unique one. However, you discovered his feelings through a slip of the tongue and you held his face in your hands gently, assuring him he’d be a spectacular father and there was no one you’d rather have a family with. He felt assured and his demeanor had shifted just enough for people to notice, particularly the princes. Once it became known, Sariel’s usual dark aura intensified a hundredfold as he threatened all eight princes and Rio that if anything were to happen to you or your happiness, they would disappear. Once the baby came, everyone was astounded at how absolutely soft he could be, of course Licht and Nokto being the exception to that. To say your baby is treated like royalty is not hyperbole and it takes a rather firm foot from you to keep Sariel from spoiling them rotten.

Rio cried immediately when you told him, lightly sobbing his promise that they’re happy tears. During the pregnancy he’s almost overbearing, managing to tone it down just before you feel the need to tell him to. One restless night he tells you about a dream he once had, almost three months after you had saved him. It was filled with quiet nights like this, cuddling by the fire, laughing together. “That’s when I knew I wanted you forever. And a family with you.” You nearly broke his hand during delivery but Rio’s smile didn’t falter, staying strong to lend you his strength. The baby came and while Rio insisted that you took turns waking up for baby, you’re pretty sure he was the one to get up more in the middle of the night. The moment baby was in the world, he was wrapped around all their little fingers and toes. Sometimes Rio has a hard time with discipline, but it’s something he’s working on.

Fun times at Nekocon 😄 (I’m the Radio Demon😈)

[thegayfromrulid]

Here's to 2022

Last year was a lot. I'm not going to lie or fluff up the parts that were overwhelming. But as I reflect on 2021, there are definitely some milestones that kept me further away from my audience here and on AO3, and while I hope to keep creating content, I will keep being busy as a PhD student. Bear with me all as I continue this work. It's my life's dream and I am just a few years away from having a doctorate.

My 2021 in review (feel free to skip below to tags, cw for COVID mentions, other disease mentions, injury/broken bones, car accidents):

- In January, I submitted my application to become a doctorate student in linguistics.

- In March, I was accepted unanimously by the review board as my program's top candidate, and I was offered a scholarship to continue at my master's school.

- Also in March, my immunodeficient father was declared healthy enough to be vaccinated for COVID, which brought an official end to my year-long quarantine. The rest of us were granted early access to keep him safe.

- In April, I was declared the Outstanding Graduate Student in my master's program.

- In May, my master's in linguistics was conferred to me.

- In the spring, my sister was diagnosed with a rare autoinflammatory disease, which will likely cause her immune system to completely fail within three years. It's been a rough reality to accept.

- In August, I moved back out after over a year of being forced to move home with my parents due to COVID. I had severe allergic reactions to cleaning chemicals in the dorm and had to be moved to a chemical-free space.

- Also in August, I reconnected with a friend I thought I had lost, and it has been a lesson for me. I intend not to screw this up again, and I am very grateful for the second chance they've given me.

- Once more in August, I fell and broke my wrist, which has led to months of healing, and even now I struggle with my left wrist trying to get back to where it was.

- In November, I was able to return to the anime con scene with a couple of friends, and I got to meet Eugeo's dub VA, Brandon Winckler, who is a gem of a human being. Brandon gave me a hug and encouraged me to be strong. I cried.

- Also in November, I was in a car accident that resulted in whiplash. I was lucky that the other driver admitted fault.

- In December, after almost two years apart because of COVID, I was able to fly to my boyfriend and be with him for almost four full days. We went to see SAO Progressive on opening night in the US, attended Anime Frontier in couples' cosplay, and even hit up Six Flags!

- Also in December, towards the very end, insurance failed me in fixing my damaged car. I decided to give up my first car in a trade-in for a new one, which was between hard and relieving. It was my first car ever, and it served me well, but it was time to move on.

And so:

It was a lot. A lot of a year. I feel shocked that I managed to get on Tumblr at all, but thank you to everyone who stuck with me. A few specific people to note:

@undinebluestar Thank you for checking in on me. I know I wasn't around much, but it was very much needed this year. Knowing that you wanted to know that I was still there meant a lot.

@kiri-thirsty We haven't really spoken much one-on-one since I've been...MIA every other day this year...but thank you for working hard to try and revitalize SAO Tumblr. I was scared it was going to die this year, what with everyone leaving Tumblr (and me having to turn off anon for a while during the period where people sent me slurs saying it was my fault people left for Twitter). You don't know how much we as a community (and even more so as Yujikiri/Kiriyuji fans) appreciate the work you put into your content.

@lost-in-yujikiri From what I understand, it's been a long year for you as well. You still mean so much to this community, and everything you share with us here, on Twitter, and on Discord is very appreciated.

And as a personal note, even if you don't want to hear it from me, @transboykirito please just know that every time I see you post, I am very proud of you.

As 2022 gets rolling, I hope that SAO Tumblr remains an active community, even if it is a small one. I may be laying low and making memes and writing fics as the majority of my content, but rest assured that if a season 4 is announced, I will right back to my bullshit, dissertation or no dissertation.

Here's to being excited to start my first qualifying paper, more dates with my beloved, and the next SAO Progressive movie!!!

2021 Updates

Been forever since I last posted but in case I didn’t mention it anywhere else, literally every con got canceled due to the Pandemic last year & why after a certain point I stopped updating with anything. Like, there were a few cons here & there last year that still happened in the US (even though that was beyond a bad idea) but an overwhelming majority canceled. Ultimately, like most I…

Looking for Photoshop Help!

Hello Tumblr friends! I come to you today not with kitten pictures, as is my usual, but in search of pictures! Three weeks or so from now (which will be Nov 7, 2021), I will be attending NekoCon with my cat rescue group as a featured charity. The synergy, you've gotta love it! We'll be doing a booth all three days to try and get donations for our work and attention for our adoptable cats. The Global Situation being What It Is, it's going to be a smaller con with many COVID restrictions, but it's still a valuable opportunity to drum up some funds in a year where we're packed to the gills and hurting for money even more than usual.

The biggest issue for us, and anybody else who tables at a con, is how do we get people to pay attention to us? We're not going to be bringing any live cats (being on display is super stressful!) so we can't draw attention that way, and the truth is that most of us middle-aged cat ladies don't know much about anime. Someone suggested that we could do "cat cosplay" photos for our adoptable cats and let people vote on the ones they liked best, something interactive and fun to bring people to the booth. I loved the idea, and I tried making one:

You may notice that I am... not exactly an artist. Poor Charlotte, if she didn't already have a home, I probably wouldn't increase her chances anyhow with my terrible MS Paint work. But you get the idea of what I'm trying to do, right? I just need help from people who can actually do it. That's where I am hoping the internet can come to my rescue.

Photos of our cats currently up for adoption are here! If you have skills and love cats, maybe you could take a few minutes to give one of them a little cosplay makeover? You can attach the picture to this post or email it to me at etraytin@gmail.com. I can't offer money, and although I'll definitely credit I can't even promise much exposure, just a way to help some really sweet cats find their forever homes. Thank you so much for reading and passing this along to anybody who might be interested!
