Today was a short day, but it was one of the most exciting ones with lots of things to look forward to. First, the freebie postcard was a complete mystery, so I had to go grab that one asap! It was an IkeSen postcard that featured Nobunaga, Ieyasu, Masamune, Yukimura, aaaand Nobunaga yaoi hand lmao.
Next, the Kabedon was at 11am, so you bet I lined up an hour before lmao. Saw Mandi, Emi, and Spyro in line and so we exchanged Hi’s hehe. I also finally got to meet another tumblr user, @tykira45! We had a short conversation, and I was happy to meet another friend I know from tumblr! :D
Anyways, despite being there first, my friends and I formed a line in the wrong spot, so when we were moved, we somehow ended up on the 4th row lol. Well, I didn’t mind too much because we were still in line and were going to get our Kabedon~ When it was revealed that he was in cosplay as a character he had cosplayed already (and that it was IkeRev), my heart soared bc there was a 50-50 chance it could be Ray!!! I was sad that it was Edgar but I will take it lmfao. I haven’t done any kabedons/backhugs at all yet, and as this is the last day, I wanted to take advantage of that~
Wow, I look like I was really happy on there hahahaha (I was xjsfdbg). So he said something along the lines of (I don’t remember anymore haha), “This is the last time, isn’t it? Don’t forget I love you (or something I dont remember the second line bc I was freaking out when he started speaking)” then like a made a kissy noise and I flat-lined. My friend was also recording this moment from far away gaaah
After this, they had the raffle for the cardboard cutouts. It was funny because my friend had 2 raffle tickets, but forgot them at home, so I had to have my lil bro go through her stuff to take a picture of the numbers for us. She had one for Nobu to give to me if she won it, and one for Masamune to give to another friend if she won it. We didn’t win, but hahaha, it was a good laugh when she started planning on what to do if she won (like driving all the way back home and back for the tickets or to see if the picture would work lol). It was nice seeing the people take the cardboard cutouts home. Pls be gentle with them hahaah. Also the staff were so cute when it came to Nobunaga. 2 of them were hugging him, and one patted his head, and Yasmin was too sad to part with her husband. I feel you all, tbh. hahaha.
Thennnn, at 1:30pm, it was time for the announcements!!! I caught my friend at the register and discovered she was buying me the Ray stand lmfao. It was meant to be a surprise, so she had to hand it to me there bc I suddenly came up behind her. I thought she was buying something for herself oops im sorry, but thank you so so much! I went to AX only expecting to buy the Ray acrylic, but since Emi got me one, I bought myself the Ray bunny pin. So I actually came home with 3 Ray things! Lol.
Anyways, most of you already know, but they announced the English release of Ikèmen Vampire in 2019! And the secret cosplay was Isaac Newton! Hiroto-kun looked soooo adorable as him. Pinkish hair really suit him tbh. Everyone was very hyped about the game, and then there was me, slightly freaking out. I’m sure I’ve said it in one of the things I was tagged on before, but I dislike vampires. I used to be so scared of them when I was a kid, and would pull blankets up to my neck everytime I sleep lol. Esp when they showed the CGs of the boys with their fangs out and near the MC’s neck, I got goosebumps. I think I was the only one with a “D:” face during the trailer of it hahaha. I’d...probly still play it but hahaa..../weeps
The other announcement..I don’t understand hahaha. I’m not into the whole idol world I guess. XD But it looked exciting enough~ Hiroto-kun had 50 postcards of his Isaac Newton cosplay to giveaway, but since he only had 50, we played another game of janken. During the practice round, I won, bUT OFCOURSEEEE I lost the actual round lmao. Myluuuckkklol. But anyways...
Tbh, I brought some blank cards and prisma markers because I wanted to give Hiroto-kun and Yasmin something for this year (I gave them some artworks last year, and I wanted to gift them again this year), but sadly I forgot to bring a pencil/pen lol. Also since it was a short day, I didn’t have much downtime to work on any. /sadsadsad I normally woulda had something prepared weeks before, but my current schedule really prevents me from any free time lol. (Tom I go back to work)
On the way to the parking lot, Tykira bumped into me and so we had a short convo about AX and how it was for us. :D I hope you make it home safe my dear!
Overall, it was tiring, but enjoyable. I am happy to have shared AX with them since their first booth in 2016 and I hope I can come visit their booth again next year!
