I’m not doing great today. I for the most part had fun at a convention this past weekend? That’s only because I met some friends I met on discord. My hotel situation was absolutely awful. I had to check out of my original one and get into a new one. Together both of these hotels owe me over $400. I’m fucked until Thursday. Fuck hotels. Fuck banks. Tbh fuck that convention for moving it from a city to a town in the middle of buttfuck no where.

I’m so angry, anxious, frustrated, and scared. I hate hotels and their bullshit policies that make no sense, I hate banks because of the long wait time to get a refund, I’m angry at the majority of my irl friends because they didn’t have a place in their room for me (and just being happy to see me and hanging out with me doesn’t fix shit), I’m pissed at the convention because they moved it to some small town that’s far out there….. The weather was way too hot, the heat index was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit all the time. My Petra cosplay was a bust because my wig and boots crapped out on me. Because of the heat I couldn’t cosplay as Shinobu. I spent months getting those cosplays prepared.

I don’t know when I’ll be able to get gas in my car or pay my utilities. No one told me how hotel bookings worked and left me out to dry. If that convention is in the same town next year and I can’t get anyone to room with I’m not going. It’s not that worth it. I was fucked over by the first hotel and I don’t know if I’ll get a full refund (even though I’m obligated to one according to booking.com). I feel like my other friends who I usually room with let me down and I’m pissed. I don’t even want to speak to any of them right now and I’ve known some of these people for over five years   before Covid I’d usually stay with them. I feel like I was abandoned.

I can’t find anyone who feels the same way I do about this past weekend. Everyone else seems to have had the best weekend ever while I was in an absolute fucking nightmare. One of my medications (my SSRI) gave me really bad side effects on Saturday morning into the early afternoon. Which affected my ability to do any kind of fine motor skill tasks because my hands wouldn’t stop shaking. How I got there without wrecking my car is a mystery.

I felt like I had no choice but to go because I couldn’t get a refund on the ticket.

I can’t stop crying this morning. I just feel awful and I’m so scared. Why didn’t my parents explain to me how hotels and their fees worked? Why was I just an after thought to so many people who before Covid would have actually thought of me? I still don’t want to talk to any of them. I had an assignment due for one of my classes due Friday and I was going to finish up Friday night. Since I had to deal with hotel drama I missed the deadline. That paper was a big part of my grade and I was struggling enough with that particular assignment. I just want to lay in my bed and cry until Thursday. I feel frozen and I can’t really do anything.

I lied about saying I had a good time on the discord server. I left that server because I just can’t handle it. The convention used to be fun. It used to be 15 minutes away from where I live currently and it felt like there was more there. 

Like I said, the only thing that brought me any joy was meeting the people I’d made friends with on discord.

First group of pictures from Akaicon this weekend! It was great fun and I was able to feature my Ariel cosplay at a con for the first time. Also I really enjoyed the guest list this year! Maybe its because he voiced Kovu from The Lion King 2 and Haku from spirited Away but I definitely got a bit flustered when talking to Jason Marsden. Also Scott McNeil was a pleasure to meet too! He was really nice and very comedic!

This photo set is mostly me but features other lovely ariels, my friends, guests, and the guy who took a selfie on my phone :)

I hope everyone had fun!

(S/N: if you are in any of these pictures message me if you want me to take it down. It would be absolutely no hassle! Or message me if you would like to say hi)
