CON EXPERIENCE (hang in there guys it’s a lot)

arrived somewhere around 11 in time for the photo op. guys it was so quick. i was in line for about 15-20 minutes and was in the photo booth for less than a minute.

i was honestly stunned at how tall he was (and at the fact that he’s real). i have two life size cardboard cutouts of him in my room but still. i’m not sure why i was so surprised honestly when those should have prepared me. i was also less awkward than i expected thankfully!! i thought i’d be beet red and crying my eyes out but i was fine. only after leaving the booth did my hands start violently shaking.

unfortunately i barely had a conversation with him but it was still so nice to have a picture of him (he put his hand on me!!!!!) i wanted to talk more but you’re told to immediately leave when you’re done taking the picture. it’s an extremely quick process

the conversation went

me: hi!

dt: hi! i love your outfit!

me: (starstruck) (felt like melting) thank you!

until now (almost 9 hours after) i still can’t believe i have a picture with THE david fucking tennant 

the panel was so fucking funny. his kids lined up and asked him who’s his favorite kid was 💀 i wasn’t able to ask a question but myeh oh well

another thing was the LINES. yall i had no idea that dt was so famous. the photo op was fine but i barely made it in time to the panel. it was jam packed. if i arrived there a few minutes later i don’t think i would’ve been able to go inside

dear lord and the autograph line was even longer. i didn’t get one because of how long it was. i think if i lined up i would’ve been there for at least four hours (had something to do later so i couldn’t afford to wait that long). non-dt fans were fucking incredulous when they found out who they were lining up for. even overheard one guy say “i mean he’s okay. but not THAT okay” i think this is proof that the tenaissance is real and extremely prominent. i never knew dt was this famous until now honestly

now putting him aside it was an amazing experience. this is my first big con (my first con ever was comic con asia 2018 which was probably half the size of supercon) and i have never seen so many nerds and cosplayers in one place before. felt so good to be among fellow nerds (sorry that sounds so corny 😭) extremely happy to have gone <3

Supercon 2018 (Day 3): Fantasy Super Cosplay Wresting Part 6: Bane vs. S...

We have several things to report but this is interesting the idiot had posted in the news there's some sort of supposed invasive spider coming to Florida and it's not taking because the spider can't survive here. It's from the Black Widow family it's from California and our son had a bunch of the House and he sprayed every week and killed tons of them and there are tons of them there a lot of people get bit and get hurt tons of Trump's just actually died so the Indian is trying to get them here says to torment our son it doesn't make any sense the guys are screwball and was fooled by David Odette very badly and he is done mean he spent this guy Trump is spent and he's been spent for probably 30 years. And he got hit in the head before our son went to Europe was not riding his bike no it was he got hit in the head before that and really he is a stupid person. This is not him as Spiderman no it is and he supposedly won and he's trying to use spiders on Tommy F and Tommy F has had it with this little kid and the max have had it with this little kid they are attacking and it is the trump stress in the tunnels they are sucking so much wind that the idiot should hang his head low and instead he thinks he's going to win some kind of prize his people are dying OK rapidly they're getting killed very very quickly they're not doing well he is calling for reinforcements to go down in the tunnels he thinks he can take over and is fuming all over the place like he's some sort of ancient hero and people say you're trying to take stuff and you're in the way and it's pushing him to do it. Now he's ordered another half percent and he's going to be small fairly soon these are global strengths on the max. Mac proper. The last time he did that he lost most of his feet and his force was cut into 1/5 the size and now they're vowing to get rid of him. They're constantly trying to introduce legislation against E bikes and our son and daughter are mutilating these people as well as us and others they're going to die going after a poor person who's valuable to their realm it's an embarrassment. They're an embarrassing crowd of no nothings and do nothings. Show about ancestry has been found out to be the biggest fraud in history and he's gonna be brought up on charges for going after people who are guests attempted homicide and he's gonna be the news and most of his characters are going to be felons and they're going to arrest John Remillard whenever he goes near them now this guy is a piece of doo doo. People are not this bad at all. Horrendous and he is bad at everything. He is leaving stuff everywhere he's losing his stashes and catches they're going down probably to 35% shortly and 30% by tomorrow he won't have anything and he's pulling from it too and he can't tell how much he's pulling. People are using this cover now. He is going to lose this war against the Max and we need to come here and prepare to burn him off our son. And we have to start doing it now and rip his out of the neighborhood. There's more to announce but we should do it and get it done yes.

IT WAS THE BEEEEEST CONNNNN EEEEEVEEERRRRR♪

Not only did I get to meet and give my art to (with him signing another copy for me) the literal voice of a generation - the man, the myth, the sponge himself, but to my surprise his lovely wife was with him! She usually doesn’t go to conventions so I can’t believe this one was the exception. Never in a million years would I have thought this weekend in my cosplay I’d get a photo with the REAL Karen ❤︎

Thanks again to the legendary, beautiful and wonderful Tom Kenny and Jill Talley for making my first SuperCon one I’ll always remember!!!

Florida Supercon 2018

So I went to a con yesterday and saw some pretty good cosplays while I was there. While not as many photos as last year, the ones I did get were still pretty good. Also one where I met the Yellow Zeo Ranger Nakia Burrisa.

[afaeria]

I just realized I never posted pictures of my most recent cosplay! Fem! Connor for you guys! These are the test photos and I noticed afterward my LED was a bit bright and I did end up fixing that!

I was at Raleigh Supercon this past Sunday! If you saw me and got pictures I would love to see them! (I forgot to take pictures of myself while I was there because I’m just like that lol)

[randobambo]

Finally here's what merch I grabbed while at Supercon, including an autograph from Marty Grabstein, some car decals, an Unstable Unicorns pin @cbthemanesix bought for me, and a VERY nice Bojack print at an artist's booth. For what it's worth Supercon was a lot of fun! Might make plans to go the whole weekend next year.
