The Artists of DashCon 2

Hi all,

VirtualDash Pocket Guide

As promised, here it is! The VirtualDash server has been bumping - I’m so grateful for the kindness and authenticity of this community.

We’re also hosting an Over The Hedge watch party at 8PM EST on the 4th of July. (Long story.)

Tickets are actually still available, and you can find the download link both on the event page and in your confirmation email!

TICKETS HERE!

With that out of the way, we are thrilled to introduce you to all the wonderful artists at DashCon 2!

Drag Artists

You can learn more about them on our website’s performer page!

You’ve already been introduced to two of them, but Jenn of the Dangerous Ladies (our lovely sponsor!) deserves her time in the spotlight.

Jenn decided to start cosplaying in 2003 and has not looked back. In that time, she has started a cosplay troupe, made hundreds of costumes, won awards, been all over the place, and spent many many years doing cosplay tutorials on Tumblr. However, in 2017, she realized she had so many brainworms about cosplay that she decided to do it as both a job AND a hobby, and left her former corporate overlords behind to pursue being a full time cosplay artist. Now she spends her time making costume props, accessories, fabrics and kits for other cosplayers alongside her band of merry chaos agents.

You can check out the Dangerous Ladies at their website, Instagram, and BlueSky!

The Musical Interdudes

These guys are a Waterloo comedy acapella group that will be headlining the Drag Show!

The Musical InterDudes are the University Of Waterloo's premier (read: only) musical-comedy a cappella group! We pride ourselves on our musical storytelling, theatrical performance style, and, as many have put it, general "theatre-kid" vibe, which is why we're so thrilled to be performing at Dashcon 2!

You can sample some of their work here on YouTube and Spotify, as well as follow them on Instagram and, of course, Tumblr.

Hi speaking of medical literacy for trans people, transfems pls check out the website Transfeminine Science, especially their introductory article on feminizing HRT

[marxism-transgenderism]

Non-transfems can reblog this as well btw

So I'm halfway through Gideon the Ninth and how come nobody has told me about Dulcinea?? She's so good, you'd think people would go bonkers over her

[spidermimi]

Ah.

[misanthropiczombie]

Ngl ive had Gideon the ninth in my to read pile on my kindle app for months and this post is what inspired me to finally open it now

[misanthropiczombie]

Ah, I see.

[ruffboi-mags]

......well now I'm curious.

[chromegnomes]

was told I should post this on tumblr

[chromegnomes]

"John is trying really hard to act like he's on Friends" is the most important addition anyone's made to this post so far

[rosswoodpark]

Everyone agrees! Your intestines squirming around like eels in your belly is horrifying!

[rosswoodpark]

IM SORRY THEY FUCKING WHAT NOW?

[thatthinginyourshoe-deactivated]

The racks even have hooks to keep them from squirming right off and onto the floor apparently. They desperately want to escape our bodies

[aesclepianbanshee]

Intestines are muscles, and function involuntarily. If your muscles did not squirm around, then they wouldn’t be able to move food through them, thus you wouldn’t gain any nutrients from anything you eat, and the food would spoil and make you sick. I agree the squirmy wormies are a bit unsettling, but hey it’s actually really good for you! Your intestines work so hard for it! Please give them a little love.

[official-liberty-prime-deactiva]

I don’t like that get them out

[brattylikestoeat]

Okay…this is unsettling.

[daglout]

This post is actually my nightmare

[micaxiii]

Breaking News! You are full of eels!

[iridium-light]

#wait til you hear about how they put them back#they just stuff them back in and the mesenteric lining slowly pulls them back into place#no helping required#so it 100% looks like a bunch of squiggly eels getting comfortable in their space again (via lampfaced)

[pardonmewhileipanic]

Thanks, I hate it!

[boop-beep]

I actually love it! It’s fascinating :)

[myrahlys]

Someone needs to let my eels air out and wring them out so that they can settle in properly again.

Reblog for the bi rights frog

[myrahlys]

#ok but with bi rights frog can we also get a pan rights duck? #pan rights duck is now stuck in my head

[stickandthorn]

If there is ever a live action adaptation of Gideon the Ninth, the ONLY acceptable way to do it would be in the style of a competitive reality TV show. Each of them has a one line introduction like *from beneath the deep veil of a goth nun habit* “I am the Reverend Daughter Harrowhark Nonagesimus, the greatest necromancer of my generation, and I did not come here to make friends. I came here to win.” And then we cut to the creepy Eighth guy in an interview segment and he’s saying “those heretical shadow cultists? I can’t even eat with them around. Whether I win or loose, I KNOW I’m not letting that creepy bitch ascend to Lyctorhood.” And then Teacher starts narrating “it’s only day one, and the competition is already heating up, but we still have a long way to go to find who the Next Top Lyctor will be. Now let us pray.” There’s those dramatic zoom ins and those drum sound effect and someone gasping whenever a body is found. Whenever someone storms off it’s filmed like when a cameraman follows someone storming off the sound stage after a particularly bad fight going “I’m done, I’m fucking done.” Harrow keeps telling the cameras to stop following her. After Ianthe says something deeply fucked up at the worst time, it cuts to her in a confessional segment going “Listen, I just tell it like it is, and I’m not afraid to stir the pot.” Do you see my vision?

[douche-canoe-regatta]

oh OH and every time Gideon's vow of silence comes up in the group there's a smash cut to her talking (to Harrow obvs, but also just saying "eat shit" to a rock she tripped over, starting to say a word and coughing, etc)

any time you'd expect Cam to have a talking head/confessional it's just a 5 second shot of an empty chair

when finally forced to acknowledge him, the camera nevertheless goes out of its way to make Babs look like shit

Palamedes has all of his cutaways cut-away-from because he goes down like 15 scientific tangents when asked a simple yes or no question

also it's common to see Harrow creeping around in the background of shots (sometimes covered in blood) and in the EXTREME background, a wee lil scrap of Ianthe

and uh

well.

I think we're watching what we do in the shadows now?

[myrahlys]

Imagine the shitstorm of an episode the duel for the Sixth's keys would be though.

Also, Cy is somehow always gone when it's this weeks elimination round.

[myrahlys]

After a long time a new sketch ^^’ this time Crowley because Good Omens was awesome.

[myrahlys]

What’s better than a certain Grey Warden? A certain Grey Warden with cheese! (/^^)/

[myrahlys]

Some fanart because Dragon Age has some of the best companions in gaming and Morrigan was my favourite in Origins. ^^

[myrahlys]

I’ve always wanted to draw a cheongsam... (/^ ^)/

[myrahlys]

Let’s hope that this won’t be taken down ^^’

[myrahlys]

Sooo, I played DDLC...

[myrahlys]

Another entry for the Yandere Simulator Fanart Contest. This time it’s about Aoi and the rumor about the loss of her eye. Maybe for a strong person like her a defeat might seem like a dark site of herself.
