taspop!

There’s an Aradia cosplayer, but aside from that, no homestuck stuff :(

hanging out with @xx-the-cringest-ever-xx

Full con haul

(I also have a ton of pics with other cosplayers!)

imagine playing DnD with Anya from mouthwashing, Zenitsu from demon slayer, and a cosplay repairer while dressed as Donut from rvb

Man is it an experience

Sorry i wanted to get more pictures but I would probably pass out from embarrassment 😭😭

IT WAS SO MUCH FUN THO AUHGGGG

Omw to collective con in Jaxonville Florida for the funsies, if anyone else is going do be afraid to say hi :]

Unfortunately it's only a half mask but the outfit is still awesome

My cosplans for EvilleCon this year, feel free to say hi! I’ll have a Monokuma ita bag and pink Mary Jane crocs!

I never did post my table from halcon lol. But now that convention season has started I thought I would post it as an example of what my table looks like and that I'm a legit lmao Can't wait to do more tables this year. There was nothing more exciting than meeting so many people that were as excited about anime as I am.

overhaul of the photos I took at a convention I went to!!!! I'm at Austin Tindle voice of Ken kaneki! And cinnabun was ichika kaneki and I had a super awesome time!!! I took photos of stickers I got which you should follow the creators of them! I was only able to take one card from the person I bought from! It was super fun!!!

Con haul!!

(Image is upside down idk why)

Gahh!! This is my second con ever and Ive got to say it was so much fun. I got to go with my cousin which made it better, and I experimented with my style by dressing goth, tbh I looked very good. I didnt have as much money as last time but I loved everything I bout nonetheless!!

I was helping my cousin run a panel at a convention and my funniest moment was when she told me to talk because she was styling a wig and I said, ”BAZINGA!!!” I got an admirable amount of reactions from that. I’m so funny.

Best part was I was in a Reigen cosplay.

I went to a con over the weekend and got some cool stuff. My favorite was the teru and mob one. I bought all three of them mostly just for that.

Also got this REIGEN keychain. I got it because it thought it was funny lol. It’s reversible too and literally the size of my hand

Hey guys! Just a quick reminder, C2E2 2015 is April 24 - 26! Be sure to visit us at Booth 1184! If you cannot attend the Expo you can still follow us on Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for all of the latest updates during the show. 

hey so i know there aren't many people in my general circle on tumblr but if any of y'all or anyone who sees this post has been to a convention before what's your experience been like and what have been like pros and cons that you've seen at cons?

im thinking of trying to go to convention at some point like maybe vidcon/twitchcon but ive heard a lot of different things about both so im really interested about what your guys' experiences have been and just what you guys have experienced generally with conventions since ive never been to one and want to know more about what happens and what to expect :>

so i guess my general question is like, if youve been to a convention what have been some things that have been really fun or that were kinda "disappointing" or boring/bad, and also just what are some general things that you guys have done at cons n stuff and how do things work at them :>

I don't even care, I'm making a post about retro game con 😌 I had SUCH an amazing time and can't wait to go to another ♡ also, Neil Newbon?!?!

Yes, roommate and I cosplayed peach and daisy. Yes, there were a million Astarion cosplayers and yet I only got pictures with two. Pictures under the cut!

My convention buddy is noneraseable on Insta :D

I don’t know how people got their hands on TBoB bc it’s out of stock EVERHWERE (istg) but it was nice holding it for a second! (All the pines except for ford because he just disappeared into the bottomless pit today got souls contracts :D)

Defiantly going next year as Steve! :D (and Bill’s gonna join me again ^^)

Hello to everyone who saw me (Pyramid steve) at Supernova Comicon today!

It was fun chatting to you all, and taking photos! (Which I’ll upload later)

At long last, here are some of the pictures I took at Anirevo 2016! There were so many awesome cosplays and so many awesome people! If you see yourself, let me know and I’ll tag you!

I am a Michigan based artist and we table at anime conventions sometimes here are some sticker designs ive made if there is anything else you want to know or request to add to our catalog just ask

Connichi Party!!! #party #kassel #connichi #connichi2016 #tattoo #stamp #convention #jrock #jpop #kpop #anime #animeopening #fun #dance (hier: Weinkirche)

A special feeling of joy

There is a very special feeling of joy when you write a game, pour your heart and soul into it, then take it to a convention, and play it with a bunch of strangers... and they tell you that they want to play it next year! That's IT, right there. It's wonderful.

SO much validation!

IM AT A CON IN A PHOS COSPLAY!!!! :0

(i’m the only gem here unsurprisingly but some people have recognized me)

why I'm barely online in tumblr In convention, trying costumes AIN'T NO WAY I'M GONNA WEAR A WIG TO COVER MY HAIR

This is the best thing ever

Convention Tips~

Day Before

Pack a bag with: water-bottle, snacks, money, phone, phone charger, anything you want signed, headphones, jacket

 What to wear:

If you are cosplaying: cosplay, comfy shoes (bring extra make up and change of comfy clothes)

If you are not cosplaying: geeky/anime/nerd t-shirts and appropriate bottoms, comfy shoes for lots of walking (sneakers are good), jacket if cold

Before you sleep: charge phone to full battery, check prepacked bag, check finalized meeting times and place, check how long it will take to get there

Day Of

-Wake up at least an hour before you plan to leave the house

-Pack phone and charger and get dressed in attire

-Have a full stomach and empty bladder before leaving the house

-Get in car with directions to convention

(when driving, send update text to friends you are meeting around every 20 describing weather, traffic, and how excited you are)

-When at destination, do not enter convention without entire group

(if there before other, stay in an area with good signal and/or in site of arriving cars for meet up)

-Enter convention as a group

-Register your tickets (only have to do this on first day)

-Register props (if cosplaying. NO WEAPONS)

-Enter convention floor

Convention Hours

*-Stick together with group at all times (some have a group call to find each other in crowds)

***-Take a partner to bathroom, booth, etc.

-Do not take an item away from a booth unless already purchased

*-Use your manners in the crowds (“excuse me” “pardon me” “sumimasen”)

-Refrain from Otaku Talk (“omg! That cosplay is super kawaii-desu!” “I love you character name!!!1! :3”)

-Set up emergency meeting spot if someone gets lost

***-Always check phone for messages from group

-Take lots of pictures~

-Try not to offend anyone

-Do not point out every set of boobies, be it hentai poster or cosplayer

-Do not shame the other fandoms (bronies, furries,etc)

-It is okay to ask someone in cosplay for a picture (they really appreciate it)

-It is okay to decline a booth vender’s offer

-It is okay to fan over the voice actors and guests (in moderation)

-It is not okay to make the guests uncomfortable (dirty jokes, etc)

-It is not okay to interview people unless you have a convention registered badge

-It is okay to cry (if for some reason you have to)

-It is okay to geek out with other convention goers

*-It is okay to make new friends at conventions (please beware the stalker crazy people)

*-If you are tired or hungry, tell the group, they probably are too

*-If you want to purchase something tell someone in the group so they don’t accidentally ditch you

-Before purchasing something, walk around more and see if you actually want it (also check prices for deals at other booths)(also check online for deals)

-If you purchase something, it is your responsibility to carry it

*-We suggest that you buy your big purchases (posters, wigs, figurines, etc) toward the end of the con

-Often check on your things, do not leave them unattended

***-Watch the clock

*-Keep hydrated

***-Con food is overpriced and usually not so good, try to bring your own or wait till dinner (lunch is usually skipped, just all snacking)

-Try and participate, it’s an annual and exciting event, have fun!

Went to a con!

Bought some stuff too

Blacked out face is me

Found some lovely cosplayers as well!
