#tcc 2024

A friend of mine was telling me her recent encounter with an actress who was super nice to her fans, and it reminds me of my first time meeting Stephanie Beatriz at Twin Cities Con last month. She was so funny, easygoing, sincere, considerate, and dedicated as a person.

See longer and more detailed descriptions of my experience that day below:

Stephanie was one of the earliest guests that arrived at her autograph table, just a few minutes past 10:00 am, when the exhibition hall opened for the day. There was a bit chaos of the lining arrangement, as the VIP holders got lined up right in front of the autograph table and leading towards the check-in table in the back. Stephanie was confused by the situation and asked a fan in my front about what was happening. After they explained in detail, she joked that they should be in charge. Her voice was already sounded very deep and a bit hoarse, unlike her usual high pitch.

When the line finally went around and back to the autograph table, I saw her kind of frowning at her autograph for one of the first fans (the fan probably said something about the outcome was good) and she made fun of herself, “why am I being so judgmental about my own autograph?”

When it came to my turn, I remember telling her that I just became a fan since Hazbin Hotel but I caught up on Brooklyn 99 later on. Her eyes lighted up and asked me what I thought of the show, and like many fans, I told her that I loved it and now it was my comfort show, and that was why I put together my costume with the elements of both Vaggie and Rosa Diaz. She was delightfully surprised when she registered my full costume, and then I pulled out the prop knife from my belt below the table (you know, like the way Rosa pulled it). She laughed, “ Yep, gonna pull it out of nowhere.”

I’m not going into details of her solo panel and the Hazbin panel, as I have posted all my records of the solo one, and the latter one was posted by someone else on YouTube. I will just note that her voice got more and more hoarse during the back-to-back panels, a lot worse than when I got my autograph. FYI, she said in her More Better podcast recently that she had been sick since she returned from Toronto, which was just a couple of days before this convention. Also, initially her name was not listed for the Hazbin panel in the program, but it was announced right before the panel that she would return for this panel as well.

After the panels, I headed back to the exhibition hall to wait for my turn of photo-ops with Erika Henningsen and Stephanie. Have to say, Stephanie is really tall in person. And Erika was very kind to offer to hold the spear as I was in the middle.

For the one photo taken solely with Stephanie, I asked her if she could hold my prop knife, and in return, she asked me if I wanted to act tough together. After I thanked her and leaving, she said, “you are going to love this one.”

Of course I love how it turns out. A bit background is that all props were inspected outside the exhibition hall and zipped with a hot pink cable tie when passed the check. So I had this long ugly ass zip-ties on both handles of my prop knife and spear. It was easy to get the zip-tie off the spear because the handle was detachable, but not the knife. And I did not have scissors with me. When I handed Stephanie the prop knife, I thought I would need to remove the zip-tie in photoshop later. But Stephanie was so observant and considerate that she hid the zip-tie with her hand by holding on the tip of that handle! Compare the photos above and you will see it. I felt warmth in my heart when I got the print and realized what she did for me.

When I brought the printed photo for the second autograph, the waiting line was insanely longer compared to it in the morning. I was probably in line for more than an hour and a half. One of the volunteers there told me that Stephanie’s line was the second longest of this day, with Hayden Christensen’s being the longest.

I remembered Stephanie’s voice was very much gone when I finally got my turn around 7:00 pm. I handed her the print and she commented, “Look how tough we were.” I told her that I really appreciated her being here today even so with her voice like that, because I was moving to Canada very soon. I further explained that the US immigration process took too long so I opted for another option. She made a 👎 sign, agreeing that American immigration sucked. She also asked me which city I was moving to, and when I replied Toronto, she said that Toronto was the best city in Canada and she loved it there when she shot Twisted Metal Season 2. Finally I thanked her again and she said it was nice meeting me.

The exhibition hall was supposed to close at 7:00 pm, but I heard that she stayed beyond 8:00 pm to finish with all the fans in line, which she did not have to, actually. A volunteer told me on the day before that it was up to the guests how long they decided to stay for the signing. Also, there were guests who pulled out due to sickness or scheduling right before the convention, but she not only showed up but spent the entire day talking to fans, even though she was obviously sick and lost her voice. I mean, this woman really is a super human being, and deserves all the love and praises.

just because someone drew this doesn't mean they're glorifying it btw, if they were posting an edit with hearts then that is glorifying. I don't support

Have you always wanted to become a scientist with a loose grasp on morality? Have you ever looked at Victor Frankenstein and thought "I can do better" (not at being a parent, at stitching together random body parts into something that never asked to be alive)?

Well now you can!

I've just released my entry to the One-Page RPG Jam 2024! It's called What Scraps Are Left, and it solves two problems at once: wanting to become an ethically-challenged "practitioner" of the sciences and getting rid of a load of documents whose existence you despise in an entertaining way!

So, why not grab a few friends, a pair of scissor and a bunch of hated documents and set to work creating an awful facimile of life sure to terrify the townsfolk! Good luck with the torches and pitchforks!

Get the game here:

A while ago I wrote a 200-word game, so a 100-word game seemed to be the next logical step!

Decided to walk back from my weekly Friday activity instead of getting the bus and wrote a TTRPG on the walk. I would say I hope you enjoy but... well you'll see when you read it.

The Boulder

It takes 21 steps to reach the top of the hill. If you can reach the top while pushing your boulder (d20), you are free. To take a step, roll your boulder. If it is equal to or higher than the number step you are taking, you advance up the hill, closer to freedom. Add a tally to your current total for each step you take. If you fail to roll your boulder high enough, it rolls to the bottom and you start once more at step 1, starting a new tally. Persist. The top is in sight.

This is my second submission to the One-Page RPG Jam 2024! If you like this, you might like my first submission, What Scraps Are Left!

Feel free to reblog with your own sub-100-word game, I'd love to see them!
