Hi guys!

So we both were at Geek Faëries this weekend! :D It had been so long since we last met irl!

Amy was only here on Sunday, and brought the sun with her! Maybe a little bit too much, it was a HOT day! 

Sweety was there all the weekend though (and they mainly did tabletop RPG and chitchat with artists), and there was quite the windstorm on Friday, so much that the festival was late opening, but the staff pulled it off with flying colours, which was awesome! 

As always, the festival was really great, nothing changed, nothing ever does. Sweety managed to spread their love for Satan around, and they were really happy with that! 

We did some purchases also (the post is on Instagram, go go go!)

We also prepared a little surprise for you, hehehe, soon up!

I had a great time this weekend with @sweetymutant at the Geek Faëries. 😊 We complained a lot about the heat (I got so sunburned…), but I was very happy we were able to meet there and enjoy the day talking, eating crepes, making purchases and exchanging baby succulents. I already miss you, my dear! ❤

And these are the purchases I made at the Geek Faëries. I intended not to buy anything, but well… I should have known better! No regret though! ^^

Once again I went at the Geek Faëries telling myself I would not buy anything, but as you can see... I failed! XD

My loot from the 2018 edition of the Geek Faëries in Selles-sur-Cher (France). This time with references so you can support the wonderful artists:

- Chocobo artwork, Rat King badge and Griffin bookmark by Zellgarm (https://www.etsy.com/fr/shop/Zellgarm)

- Gigantoraptor postcard, Velociraptor sticker, Triceratops and Dakotaraptor badges by Chicken Wings (http://chickenwingsdinosaures.tictail.com/)

- Owl (named Algra) and Frog (named Ignatus) badges by Agatha Magpie for Obscurus Presse (https://www.etsy.com/fr/shop/ObscurusShop/items)

- Golden Snitch badge from Obscurus Presse too (don’t know the artist’s name)

- Angler fish badge by MichiyoBulle (https://www.etsy.com/fr/shop/LesPlumesDeMichiyo)

- Legion and dragon badges by La Hulotte (https://www.artstation.com/lahulotte)

- Space cow badge by Gelweo (http://gelweo.canalblog.com/) - their comic “Déracinés” has an intersex main character, I NEED to check this out

- brown-tone illustration is Bleuts’ business card (https://www.etsy.com/fr/shop/Rituhell)

- colorful badge with fox (next to Velociraptor sticker) by Fanelia (http://www.faneliart.fr/) for the official Geek Faëries poster

- “I am the danger” badge by I don’t know who

I’m not addicted to badges, I swear. More seriously, there were many other GREAT things, but alas, my bag was full and my wallet empty...

This was an awesome experience despite it being the most tiring stuff I’ve ever done, even more than last year. From what I know, all of us trans folks had our pronouns respected. Inclusion is now explicitly mentioned in the con’s memento. I had the satisfaction of literally erasing my deadname with black ink.

Also I made friends.

And now back to normal life...

I’ll add tags for the artists later!

Geek Faëries 2018 + Haul

Que dire de cette édition… je n’avais que peu de hype (prix du ticket qui augmente et sentiment que ce que je reprochais déjà au festival ne serait pas réglé.) en arrivant. En repartant, quelle conclusion? Alors oui en effet, c’est toujours aussi bien. L’ambiance est bonne et les gens gentils (c’est un peu bourré de cismecs et j’ai eu droit au lot de réflexions sexistes… mais globalement les gens sont gentils.) Heureusement que j’ai discuté avec un bon paquet de lgbtq+, de potes féministes sinon j’aurais probablement frappé un mec ou deux. Et heureusement qu’ @amethystsworld était là aussi, j’ai passé une super journée avec elle et on a mangé de délicieuses crêpes et parl&eacute avec des artistes ce qui est toujours intéressant. Enfin bref, je conseille quand même le festival au gens, il est bon, mais j’aimerai vraiment bien qu’ils se rappellent de l’époque où il y avait plus de vrais amateurs, de créateurs de fanzines et moins de pros. Je les aime ces pros, j’en connais certains personnellement, mais au fond ce n’est pas ce que j’ai envie de voir, et voir leurs stands s’agrandir d’année en année avec de moins en moins de petits à côté… ben c’est dommage.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Haul:

-a solo rpg book, La Geste de Gurdil

-a cake-evoli plushie and pokemon sewing patches from the best plushie maker ever (Lasciva)

-2 mugs (a wooden ale mug and the festival’s mug)

-too many pins to count (2 are custom made)

-a drawing commission from one of my fav’ artists

Sorry for not writing this post in English, but since it is about a French festival where english is not really spoken… well well.
