This was a quick commission! For a good friend of mine! I loved working on this! His cute bunny OC with my durgin butt, Kiya. We've been wanting to do this for a while, just never got around to it. But here it is! From start to finish it took me about 6 ish hours. Did it all today.

So I'm analyzing a relationship dynamic in a play, and it led me to think about hugs. Then I remembered Joe's hugs, and now I miss Joe. He gave the best hugs. He was also a great person. Is a great person? I haven't seen him in years, so I don't know what kind of person he is now. But he gave great hugs, not butt hugs.
I was thinking about butt huggs too. (Note: Butt hugs: the awkwardihs hugs that people give where you lean over a bit andyour bu tt sticks out so you don't touch the other person as much) It's like people who give you not-butt-huggs don't mind that you're closer? Like they like that you're close, and don't mind more bodily contact. It's the "I don't rejcet you on a subconcious(/body language) level and at least find you to be a more than generally pleasant person."
I like mornings where we both wake up at the same time to pee. He usually scoots in there to pee first, and when it's my turn, he washes his hands and walks in front of me to get to the towel (hanging on the curtain-bar), and I sleepily hug his butt.
So this October I once again went to that cheaper alternative to San Diego Comic-Con, the London MCM Expo. How did things go? Check after the jump.
Day One - Friday
The first day didn't begin well in the slightest. Having gone to bed relatively late the previous night, I was awoken early by the news that our cat, Jeff, had been hit by a car. I had to accompany my Dad to the vet where she was deemed a lost cause and had to be put down. My final farewell to her was also hampered a little as the vet took the opportunity to show my dad the pleasant stuff the impact did.
Putting that depression behind, I soon headed off on my trip, almost forgetting to pick up my train ticket in the process. It was also depressing that the neat lil Japanese place in the Bullring where I could get some nice Eel and Rice had closed down since my last foray into Birmingham. Upon arriving in London, I paid a visit to my big brother Sam, who is the manager of a swanky chocolate shop in Bank, before heading to my accomodation. Being forever alone and usually leaving things to the last minute, my accomodation ended up being a bit pricy, but damn if it wasn't swanky. Comfy bed, self catering, DVD player, free WiFi and a nice bathroom, I could've done worse.
By the time I eventually reached the Excel Centre, it was relatively late in the afternoon, and my Friday was more or less split into two activities, saying hello to the various internet peeps (Bing, Jamie, Jack & Dean, Gagaman, etc.) before deciding to give the Wii U a shot. Opinions so far: New Super Mario Bros U: Fun so long as the guy with the GamePad isn't an arsehole sticking blocks wherever you try to jump, Rayman Legends: Again, fun provided your partner (in this case, the Nintendo rep), doesn't suck, Nintendo Land: Surprisingly fun. I had a go on four of the minigames and they were each quite interesting, and finally The Wonderful 101: Probably needed a tutorial section, but it looked like a real blast. I also had a go on Layton and Paper Mario, which were both pretty neat.
The day soon ended quickly, but not before I picked up a copy of Panty & Stocking on DVD. With not much else to do (unlike the May expos, the darkness of autumn doesn't leave much for mingling with the general dorks after closing hours), I headed back to my abode where I dined upon a Birdseye Chicken Curry and watched plenty of Panty & Stocking and Game Grumps.
Day Two - Saturday
The second day came and I donned my full Ristar cosplay and made my way to the Expo which, naturally, was a lot more packed than the Friday. Safe to say, the Eddsworld/TomSka booth was one of the most packed, with the queue to meet Tom even having its own security. It wasn't the most ideal of places to meet up with internet peeps. After purchasing a pair of goggles from the Steampunk exhibition opposite the booth (as you do), I hung out with Paul and Sabrina for a bit, nomming on some melon bread and browsing the stands (purchasing ANOTHER pair of goggles) before visiting the panels hosted by Jack & Dean, Bing and Tom, getting a glance at their new shorts (though a technical hitch meant they couldn't show off what little bits I had done of asdfmovie6 so far (yeah I'm working on that btw)). Other internet peoples we encountered included Eddache, Zictor, Dudul, CatFat, Murt and Matthew (who I should totally remember to commission at some point). Me and a few others later found a stray Free Hugs sign and randomly decided to add 'Butt' to it. There was maybe a total of 4 people who recognised my Ristar cosplay, about 2 of which actually knew how to pronounced it (remember kids, it's pronounced 'wrist-star'). There was also some excitement at actually discovering a living breathing copy of Vib Ribbon, but it was a bit too pricey for my nostalgia.
At the end of Day Two, me, Zic, Dudul and CatFat attempted to follow Tom and the others to Canary Wharf, but eventually gave up and just ate some Nando's. I soon returned to my abode for copious amounts of BBC Three. Also my mini-Ristar's leg came off.
Day Three - Sunday
After checking out of my accomodation and getting some 'sausage and mash' out of the nearby cockney cash machine, I went to the center for its third and final day, this time just donning my pimpass shirt. Not much I can particularly remember other than the fact I spent pretty much the entire day hanging out with Louise, coming to enjoy it as much as when I hung out with her post Summer in the City. I also ended up buying a few Gagaman print and a Paranoia Agent boxset and gave the new Tomb Raider game a try, along with a couple third party Wii U titles. We also saw the follow up TomSka panel, taking note of a few live-performed asdf6 sketches which will no doubt be interesting to animate.
As the expo came to an end and I was eventually forced out, I spent a good half hour in line to get my luggage before taking a bus ride (which I hated) to my brother and sis-in-law's house for yummy dinners, vidyagames and sleeping atop of some lady pillows. The next day, I headed back home, stopping by yummy Japanese restaurant on the way back, and proceeded to catch up on animus. As you do.
