since this is the new cool thing im gonna complain abt this years närcon
the fences…… i told the staff this a few times but it can’t be said enough… far too few exits, made the con very crowded, cut off pressbyrån n mcdonalds (why?? you are the largest con in the nordics, you get all the money u need, whose idea was this)
speaking of pressbyrån, fucking peppbyrån, burn it and burn its ashes (i actually bought food from there and the staff was nice, but as above, it was a poor idea with poor execution)
even more regarding the food, the con’s own food ran out on saturday, gr8 job (i didnt know until after the con tho, as the weather was so horrible i stayed with the vidya gaemz n only left to buy dinner once, and this only bc i was going to be in the sm4sh tournament later that night)
i ordered a tent from närcon’s website when i ordered my tickets. we have a few tents at home, but mom said that they were far too clunky and hard to set up for me as i dont have too much experience with camping, so we decided to order the official tent which was described as easy to assemble and carry around. the tents never showed up. at all. i arrived at wednesday, so i got to sleep in one of the sleeping halls. i picked a place and got comfortable with it, and thinking i was gonna get my tent, i gave it up to another person. i got to sleep in the sleeping halls the rest of the weekend, but i got a meltdown once the person who took my previous place refused to give it up even when knowing the circumstances (and told me “um sweatie :) my dads cousins dog is autistic :) u cannot possibly get a meltdown due to this happening in an already stressful environment :) ur faking :)”)
everybody knew that MonteFjanton were visiting the con, but nobody knew what exact kind of stuff they’d do until the day they did it (a meet n greet, a QnA and a sneak peek on a then unreleased episode of Felix Recenserar). this is not entirely the con staff’s fault but
Psykakuten TV were going to have a live episode of GejmTajm, but the technical stuff didnt work, so that never happened…
the fact that “not everyone is a boy or a girl, ask for people’s pronouns!” signs were everywhere, yet neither the staff or guests asked me for my pronouns, and I was too afraid to correct them due to the possibility of them being anti sj
i think that if this was the first ever Närcon, it could have easily be a disaster by the likes of Dashcon. but since Närcon is so respected, this year’s edition attracted nice events and (mostly) nice people, which prevented this. i’m gonna make a shoutout for nice people from the con right here:
MonteFjanton for letting me tag along with them and talk crap about Frozen and the Kirby anime (and for being gr8 ppl in general and my fave ytbers evr)
The King Dedede cosplayer, OH MY GOD the King Dedede cosplayer
The kid I met on Närcon Vinter 2015 n the Ness cosplayer I also met there, u were both super fun n i loved seeing u again
the Amethyst cosplayer who mistook me (cosplaying Kirby) for cosplaying Rose Quartz, then saved themselves by saying “what abt I eat u for once >:3c”
the ppl who cosplayed Tintin, Cpt Haddock n the Scooby Gang, amazing cosplays tbf
all the ppl who were brave enough to talk to/take selfies with Håkan Juholt, u r the future
