I wonder why do none of the Nintendo voice actors guest at decently-sized cons? I came across Peach's and Bowser's voice actors when I was looking up a small game convention in my home state.

That made me realize this is the first time I've ever seen them at any con. I've been going to cons for a while and been digging in the history and community pretty deep. I found out about Charles Martinet going to cons some time ago and he seems to be stuck at mostly Collect-a-Con conventions which are pretty much just only Vendor Halls with a little bit of extra. People go to collectable conventions just for shopping.

And then when I found Peach and Bowser I looked more into their appearances and they also just go to these small cons in areas that aren't really known for their con scene.

Why aren't they appearing in places like Metrocon, Momocon, Anime Expo, NYCC, etc? I know I just named some of the biggest cons in the US and world but I don't get why they're not even in my area that has a good con scene. I would love to see Charles Martinet, Samantha Kelly, and Kenny James at Magfest.

Having the voice actors of the Mario Bros., Wario Bros., Princess Peach, Toad, and Bowser would draw in a lot of people. I don't get it. I looked up a few others like Donkey Kong and Fox too and it's the same.

It's a dream for me to meet Charles Martinet but I'm not catching a flight to a Collect-a-Con to see him.

Samantha White (Dear White People, Season 2)

I miss this show. Sometimes I think about if I should finish my season 2 review but at this point I don't think anybody is going to read it.

I finally started my first One Piece media but it's not the anime or manga, but the video game RPG One Piece Odyssey.

Just found out about the Bethesda protests. I wish I could be out there.

hey everyone, just curious:

what is everyone's criteria for blocking people?

[shawnthewonder]

If they're obviously a bot or spam or if they've been particularly mean. There's no other reason for me not to. If I don't want to see something I just unfollow. Blocking is mean so it's a last resort for me.

Gavlyn - Check out From the Art

Cunninlynguists - A Piece of Strange

Poetic Death

Noname - Telefone

Bahamadia - Kollage

Just got my FF Con (Otakon) badge in the mail. Each badge has a different job class. This is so dope!

[imanisays]

If you post Pro Black nostalgia, culture, whatever reblog this so I can follow you. I’m curating my dash, not playing.

[shawnthewonder]

This might be my lineup for Otakon. I still need to buy the stuff for Tonberry.
