#really excited to be able to show off my plushies with the cosplay :3 literally that was the entire reason for making this

I JUST REALIZED I FORGOT TO POST PICS WHEN I FINISHED THIS it took me ten thousand years but it's a bag designed to go with a cosplay that I'm entering into a competition this weekend :3 the clear plastic is recycled from a bedding bag and the buttons are all hand painted because I wanted them to be green but I only had black. The lining is also hand sewed in!

Being Camilla at SakuraCon was so much fun and so much suffering. I’ll post pictures and stuff later, but for now allow me to share some stories below the cut:

•So if you couldn’t infer from my last post, I pulled an almost all nighter to finish my armor for my Camilla cosplay. Thankfully I’m practically invincible so I was able to still function normally on just two hours of sleep.

•Got there pretty late on the first day; we arrived at the hotel at about 11 and didn’t actually get to the con until about 2 because of wardrobe malfunctions and the like. Got sent to the hotel across the street because the hotel I had my reservation in was full, despite me having made my reservation ALMOST A YEAR AGO. How that happened, I have absolutely no idea. But hey, they upgraded us to a double queen suite, so I was okay with it.

•Got to con and almost immediately my leg armor came detached from my garters. Had to walk around for a while holding it up before finally deciding I’d had enough and went to the cosplay repair station. A little hot glue and duct tape later I was good to go. PS the people at the cosplay repair station are heroes. Every single one of them. You go, guys.

•After that I spent some time in the 2nd floor cafe prepping for the one-off I was GMing for my tabletop RPG system that I created based on Fire Emblem’s game mechanics. Pretty uneventful, got asked for a few pictures here and there. I wasn’t really expecting a very big turnout, considering it was a homemade system. I did see the old-school Marth that I had met the year before while I was there, though, so we got to say hi and chat for a bit.

•On my way to find the tabletop gaming room, I ran into the Nowi I had taken a selfie with the year before. We got to chat and take pictures and it was a lot of fun.

•Went and checked in with the RPG coordinator to find out that I actually had quite a few people asking about my session. I’d honestly only been expecting to have maybe 3 or 4 people, if anyone showed up at all. Come session time and I’ve got 7 active players around the table and a queue of about 3 or 4 people waiting to enter the game after character deaths, and a few spectators. I was honestly super shocked and so excited.

•Session went well, though I was a little sad that we had to end it in classic rocks fall, everyone dies fashion (I rolled a 99 on the final “are we gonna end this on a good note or a bad note” roll, and for those of you who don’t know, that’s one percent away from a catastrophic failure, which is like a critical failure but worse). At least now I know that Oscar needs a serious nerf, though if they had bothered to attack him with a magic user, things might have gone better. To be fair, their magic user had literally just blown himself up, so... yeah. It was good though; everyone was so excited about the system and it really made me feel good about all the effort I’d put into compiling it. Obviously it still needs tweaks and playtesting, but it was a nice affirmation regardless.

•Got back to the hotel to find out that all of my friends who were going to stay with me had crashed and died in my friend’s mom’s hotel room. Apparently my friend had forgotten the fact that I had already given her the spare key to the room. It was fine, though; I grabbed my stuff, headed over to the other hotel, and got a whole big room to myself for the night.

•Woke up in the morning with sore feet, which is to be expected when you walk around in 4 inch heels for about 15 hours. Had to do some repairs on my costume, and I missed the Fire Emblem photoshoot. I was very sad.

•Didn’t get to the convention center until after 2 again, and helped my friend get to the Voltron shoot (she was the Galran Mall Cop). Wandered around in the Exhibitor’s Hall for a while, but didn’t see anything I wanted to buy. One of my friends from church was there selling car window decals, but for the life of me I couldn’t find her.

•The rest of my friends wanted to go get food at Pike’s Place after the Voltron shoot, but I wasn’t about to walk 7 blocks in those heels, thank you very much.

•On the way out of the convention center, I ran into the Chrom that I had taken a thug lyfe selfie with last year, along with a Robin, Owain, and Inigo. The Inigo saw me and started hyperventilating. She was so cute, so I papped her face and told her as much, and I think she died a little. Oops.

•I decided that, as Camilla, it was my duty to pap every Fire Emblem cosplayer I saw from that point on and tell them how cute they were. I got a lot of different reactions, and it was a lot of fun. I also wanted to find a Corrin, pap them, and tell them “I love you, schmoopie!” because such a thing was totally necessary, but in the end I didn’t see any Corrins after I made that decision.

•Hung out with the Awakening crew for a while, they were super chill and I had a good time with them, then broke off to get some food. I kept running into adorable Fire Emblems, though, so I kept getting delayed because I had to pap their faces and tell them how cute they were.

•Found an adorable Azura by the entrance. It was her first time cosplaying, so I gave her some wig care tips. Hopefully they help save her some agony.

•Ran into a Xander and another Camilla, and we were standing around talking when a Takumi walked by and ever so casually called us Nohrian scum. Xander jokingly got into an argument with him, and I diffused the situation by hugging the Takumi into my chest. He got flustered and it was just so in-character for all of us, and we all had a good laugh about it.

•Was going up the escalator to get in line for food when I saw a Takumi and a Leo going down the escalator. I immediately hopped onto the down escalator to pap their faces and take pictures with them.Turns out they were the Chrom and Robin who had told me where the cosplay repair station was the day before.

•Finally got food, then met an adorable Lyn, who told me about the Hoshidan royals having a small photoshoot outside. Needless to say, I immediately went out to crash the party and pap them. I’d seen the Ryoma the day before on my way to the cosplay repair station, and he had a little lobster plushie with him. They were all adorable.

•Finally got to go sit down in the 2nd floor cafe and eat my sandwich, but not before I papped another Leo and an Azama. Also got to pap a Niles during that time as well. I saw a Dazai go into the cafe, but I wasn’t able to go say hi, which made me sad.

•Spilled my sprite everywhere as I was getting ready to leave because it slipped through my gloved grip. Some nice people I was sitting by helped me clean up, which was so sweet of them. I’m so grateful to them for their help.

•Ran into a conquest Azura while I was waiting for the line to start for Matt Mercer’s panel. Turns out she and her friend were the Hana and Subaki that I had ran into the year before, and they remembered me. They were so sweet, and it was so nice to see them again. Also ran into old-school Marth again, and was able to fulfill my papping duty.

•Stood in line for half an hour in my heels to get into Matt Mercer’s tabletop RPG panel. Then stood in line for another 45 minutes in my heels to try and ask him a question, but time ran out. It was fine, though, it wasn’t some burning question that I was dying to ask him anyway. It was so nice to see that he’s such a nerd. As I was leaving the panel, though, he passed by, looked at me, and kind of under his breath said “that is so rad”. The almost-all nighter that I had pulled to finish the armor and all of the suffering in those 4 inch heels that I had done in the last two days instantly became 50000% worth it. I really hope I get to work with him someday.

•Found a cute Lucina and papped her. She was caught off guard, but then asked me to do it again so she could have it recorded. It was so cute.

•Ran into a group of the Fates furries and Azura. I gave them paps and hugs and they gave me an Easter egg and some swell memes. Totally a fair trade, in my opinion. We also got to kind of awkwardly dance for a guy’s cosplay video, I guess?

•Got hot pot with my friends. It was great. I burned my tongue. That was not so great. They put basically a whole crab into my hot pot, but it was so small that there was basically no meaning in even trying to eat it.

•Before we went to hot pot, I changed out of my armor into my filthy casual Camilla outfit. I still can’t feel half of the toes on my left foot, but it’s okay. I suffer for my art.

All in all, it was a good year. I got lots of pictures taken of me, which was really nice, and lots of compliments on my costume. Running into all those same people from last year was lots of fun too. Hopefully next year I’ll be able to get some final adjustments done on my armor and stuff so it won’t be quite as suffering.
