I had an excellent time at AVCon a few weekends ago! Thanks to everyone who came and said hi, and bought shiny things from me! Also, the Blackwoolholiday etsy shop will be re-launched in the next few weeks and will feature lots of new stuff, so stay tuned.  :)

The people that enforce weaboo stereotypes

So first day at Avcon (anime and videogames convention) everything is going well, just standing there until the guy next to me PULLS A FUCKING RAW POTATO FROM HIS POCKET AND STARTS EATING IT. I fucking wish this was the weirdest thing I saw. Day two. On the way there we pass some guy wearing a fedora, not really a rare site at a convention like this but then he pulls a Tupperware container of canned spaghetti from his bag. what ever the guy is having his lunch I think. NOPE. HE REACHES IN WITH HIS HAND, PULLS A FUCKING HANDFUL OUT AND STARTS FILLING HIS JACKET POCKETS WITH SPAGHETTI. I CAN'T MAKE THIS UP.

My Cosplay @ AVCon 2014

This year was my third AVCon and my first time cosplaying.  Over a decade's worth of Halloweens as well as some theater experience was enough to teach me that I love a good excuse to wear a costume. 

I'd wanted to try cosplaying for a convention for a while now.  I've had quite a few ideas for it, most of them height related (Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist, Kafei from Majora's Mask). Unfortunately procrastination and a necessity to stay thrifty limited my options a bit.

I decided on a costume that let me use things I already had, namely my Ezlo hat that I bought last convention and my green dress.  All I needed would be a belt, white stockings, and brown boots, and I'd be a passable Minish Cap Link!

Naturally I picked the shortest version of Link to cosplay as.  I'm really happy with how the costume came out.  Future iterations will likely see the addition of Power Bracelets and Pegasus Boots, and eventually a dress that matches the green of the hat better.

Regardless, I had a great Sunday wandering around at the convention. A couple people asked to take my photo, including the absolutely lovely Sarah Kay, a local photographer!

I had such a lovely cosplaying experience.  I hope I get the opportunity to cosplay Minish Cap Link again soon, as well as to try out the other ideas I have.  If you have any cosplay tips, be sure to let me know!
