My sympathies to the anime-only BNHA fans at the Tora-Con Yaoi for 300 panel that had to find out about the manga developments regarding Katsuki Bakugo and Izuku Midoriya like that

I had an amazing time at Toracon this weekend! I wish I had more time to meet other vendors, but chatting with attendees was really fun.

Pictures from Tora-Con!!! (My phone kept dying so not many) They had a panel about 07th Expansion which the When We Cry series is one of my favorite series. The host of that panel was dressed as Mion so I got her picture. The one huntresses (the one on the left) is a good friend of mine so I got a picture of them with another huntress they found. Being Ritsu was a grand ol' time. Best joke names some of the attendees called me were Kanasoda and Kittynoda. I did the Nyan dance thing for them and did a lovely twirl. Being Russia was pleasant because I had my friend Argo as Lithuania (they were also the adorable Honey for the Ouran group). Thank you for anyone who came out and supported us! Saturday was a lot of fun!!! (Sunday didn't go as planned, but was okay). Still debating if I go next year. I know Ben and Elliot would love to have me and Argo back for the panels. Let's just hope next year is less stressful if we do go back.

Also doing Russia in Gerry's outfit on Sunday was fun because someone thought I was Peter Lukas for a hot second lol. (Gerry's wig went missing so we went with pink hair Gerry on Sunday).

Yesterday my husband and I went to Tora-con for the first time since 2019, it was a good time! We had fun and enjoyed seeing all the cosplayers!

Andrew always loves to cosplay and he worked really hard to make it ready on time, this year he was Pokeball Man from Sword/Shield!!

Alot of people recognized him and asked for his picture, he was so happy. If you got any pics of him and you were there, could you please tag me so I can show him? Thank you!!

❣ Let's hear about Tora!

Pros:

Is a seven foot tall buff tiger woman. I mean, come on! You could do your wash on her abs.

She is fun to be around, always good for a laugh, very sociable and loves a good party.

Thanks to her, uh, profession she's likely got a lot of gold on hand and she is more than happy to make it rain on you!

Cons:

She is literally a pirate. All her wealth is ill gotten gains and you will have to live with the fact that she may have killed someone to give you those gifts.

Below all the hearty laughs, crude jokes, and bravado is a deeply damaged individual that hides their true feelings and is terrified of getting too attached.

She is a massive playgirl and generally non monogamous. It would take a lot to get her to settle down but more likely you would have to be okay with sharing, or being in the lavishly spoiled harem of the tiger.

Omg, could you tell us more about your experience at the con? how did they find out about the manga development?

Uh, okay, so some context is necessary here. lemme just copy-paste what I told my friend in the chat real quick.

This weekend I had the pleasure of being a guest handler for the cosplay contest judges at Tora-Con this year (look them up - they're all incredible!) and after the awards ceremonies, me and one of the judges hit up the day-ending Yaoi for 300 panel, which was hosted by the cheerily gay cosplay contest emcee dressed as Alfred Fire Emblem - er, mostly. The panel began with him kicking up his feet, looking to his co-host, ripping off his wig and saying, "It's been a day. Pass me the yaoi!"

Basically, the panelists had organized BL, yaoi, and “yaoi” titles and popular ships into goofy categories (wholesome, doomed, toxic, Baby's First Yaoi, divorced, old man, rivals, toxic and doomed, Komaeda, musical, etc.) with a different pairing (fanon, canon, whatever) per slide. As each popped up, the audience laughed, cheered, booed, whatever-ed in response. “Yaoi” was used loosely and of course there were slides for stuff like Supernatural, Sherlock, the red and yellow M&Ms, Bert and Ernie, Metal Gear Solid, Homestuck, Genshin Impact... Very broad and meant to garner reactions. In many ways it was a retrospective of the Greatest Hits of popular guyxguy ships on Tumblr, so for a lot of attendees it was really more like a walk down memory lane.

So like. They had several “My Hero yaoi” items in there like DabiHawks (which got a big reaction! The people love HotWings!), TodoDeku (got a polite reaction), KiriBaku (a mild reaction and some awwwwwws.) (The guest with whom I was attending with politely claps but shakes their head at TodoDeku, so after I was polite and was like, “I just like Todoroki to be included”, I then was more honestly like, “but dude it’s BakuDeku or nothin’!” and they were like, “Thank you. Thank goodness.” I didn't realize it then, but this moment heralded what was to come.)

Finally, near the end of the panel, BakuDeku comes up (with the anime still of Izuku as Katsuki's cane, of course) and the room FUCKING ROARS.

Our hosts (who evidently don't closely follow the series) go wide-eyed and then, after a pause, wigless Alfred Fire Emblem tries to take back the energy and goes, “Oh, so you make a big reaction for THAT?!” and it turns out I am not the only manga reader in attendance because then like half the room - myself, my escorted guest, and two other folks at our table at the center-front of the room included - scream in perfect synchronicity, “THAT ONE’S REAL!!!!!!!!!"

A person at my table - clearly also an anime-only - says with the playful innocence only an individual with a kind and sugar-sweet romantic heart can possess, “No! They were right with the KiriBaku! :)” and then turns to meet me and my guest's and another girl's eyes, and I watched as theirs widened in fear as we all looked them dead-on and said, “No, you don’t understand. THIS one is real.”

And the room got REAL quiet until the hosts changed slides to, like, I dunno, Gravitation or Yugioh or something and the energy picked back up.

Tora-con’s over now, but that was so rad. I got a bunch of art prints and pins- Not to mention Gianni Matragrano signed my fucking laptop, which was funny as hell.

Hello, everyone

Link to campaign: https://gofund.me/554538b5

This is an immensely difficult post for me to make, but I am currently in a situation where there aren't many options.

2024 was supposed to be the 10 year anniversary celebration for Sweet Poison Cupcake Boutique, but it has ended an incredibly difficult year. With a combination of not getting into Tora-Con, rising overhead and merchandise costs, and dwindling foot traffic, the shop is at a crossroads, where we must either figure out how to continue, or shut our doors.

I do not want the story of Sweet Poison Cupcake to end this way, and I am humbly asking the local community for some assistance.

I understand that times are tough for many, and I appreciate any form of support more than I can fully express. Whether it's following the shop on social media, sharing this post, or donating to the GoFundMe, every little bit helps and means the world to me.

So I'm going to be in a couple ask character panels in March. Making keychains for the panels to hand out and to give to my fellow panelist. The panels are for Hetalia and Ouran Host Club. It's like a dream come true for little Tobi, but like I'm really not into either anymore. Anyways I'm redoing the Ouran Keychains because I don't like the first set, but uh... my tablet broke so I'm designing them on paper so when I get my new tablet I can just scan in the drawings and line and colour them that way. Issue being... I still kinda hate how the twins look. Which doesn't bode well for the other 6-8 keychains. ((Doing a keychain for each character we have: Haruhi, Tamaki, The Twins, Honey, Renge, Nekozawa, Ritsu.)) We are still looking for Mori and Kyoya for the group. Each panelist gets 2 keychains to give to the audience and one to keep. Anything left over uh... I guess I can sell on my Etsy, but I hope we can just pass them all out in the end. Anyways I have the Twins done-ish and their previous design. I like the new one better now I look at the old one. Then I have the 4 Hetlia ones I got done.
