I COSPLAYED JOHN & ARTHUR TO A CON FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!
I did NOT expect anyone to recognize me, not to mention finding actual merch and other Malevolent cosplayers! Including another Arthur: @spirallingdark !!!
I was also gifted Arthur & Kayne bracelets, they are now a permanent part of this cosplay :]
whoever cosplayed the professor and gave me jellybeans out of their pouch this anime con i just want to say thank you and i love you
Kumoricon 2025 Deltarune Meetup Pt. 1
Deltarune has been my biggest brainrot this year. Tenna is husband, I so badly want him to be real. Kris is my spirit animal (and I actually wanted to cosplay them this year but Fangamer ran out of the shirt size I needed 😔 That's ok, there's always next year!)
SUPER cool to meet up with all these wonderful peeps. I hope yall were happy to see me there as the sole Jevil rep 🙏
Don't be scared to be vocal about what you love.
One of my core memories as someone who was a vendor in artist alley is how much I loved seeing people from fandoms I recognized coming to my table and seeing their reactions when I talked about it. I'd only ever been on the other side of the table, so I still kept the mindset of complimenting people and asking for photos and it lead to absolutely magical interactions.
Someone cosplayed as Basil from Omori came to the table and when I complimented their flower crown, they gifted me homemade cookies. Some of the best I've ever eaten.
Someone saw my Hollow knight charms, made a HUGE smile and said "Silkong ain't coming out heh" and just. LEFT. Made me cackle real bad.
The daughter from one of the vendors complimented a watercolor of firestar I'd made during the con and she was OVERJOYED when I gifted it to her.
Someone came to my table noticing I'd been drawing a Splatoon character. We playfully argued about splatfests for a bit and after that, he was so happy bought all the merch I had of Frye and Pearl.
My friend saw a Spy x Family cosplayer on our first day and joked about that the best dad ever would be someone cosplaying as Loid and having his daughter as Anya. Guess what we saw the next morning that made me beg for photos
A little compliment can get you far when it comes to genuinely sweet human interactioon, either coming from the artist or someone looking at the art. Don't be scared to voice it up. I think it'll make everyone a little happier.
Plushies at Otakon 2010
Here's my final con haul post from Naka-Kon 2026! Here are my thoughts/elaborations on the items:
That figure of Joseph Joestar is from the Mometria line! I already had Jonathan and Parts 1 and 3 Dio so I was excited to see my second-favorite JoJo!
The Sylveon figure is the cutest!! They had all the Eeveelutions and of course I had to get Sylveon, my favorite Pokemon AND Eeveelution. I'd love to complete the set someday or at least get Espeon and Umbreon.
The little Cinammoroll snowglobes are the most precious things! They came in blind boxes and I'm lowkey kicking myself for not getting one or two more because I loved all the designs.
I was so happy to see Mermaid Melody merch at my favorite vendor booth! I know they've made a bunch of new merch in the past few years but most of it is Japan-exclusive and I always forget to buy some when I'm using a proxy to buy from Japanese sites.
I was also really excited to see new Gurren Lagann merch! Nia is my girl and I only have a couple figures of her so I was thrilled to see a plushie of her!
There's always a vendor at Naka-Kon who sells artbooks and I LOVE looking through their stock! There were a ton of Precure artbooks this year, but I settled on this one because I LOVE the Kamikita Twins' art style. If you didn't know, Futago Kamikita (aka the Kamikita Twins) are the twin sister artist duo behind all the Precure manga adaptations.
Finally, we have Hana's compact from Ojamajo Doremi! It's one of my favorite item designs from the series and I LOVE Hana-chan so of course I had to get it.
