OH MY GOD, THIS WAS THE BEST CON I'VE EVER BEEN TO.
I'm not even kidding, this was the most fun I've ever had at a con in a long, LONG time. I have the lovely, amazing and incredibly talented gals of HorseDeer to thank for a lot of that. They sacrificed valuable sleep to stay up all night with the people who were crazy enough to stay awake for 24 Hours- like me. But not only were HorseDeer awesome, but I met the most enjoyable group of Hetalians ever x3 The costumes were great, everyone was trying to keep their accents up, and they even scored us an "Ask a Nation" time slot on Saturday. I do wish that more people actually asked us questions, but we did get more people than I thought we would. In the end, it was just super enjoyable.
Now I'm gonna admit right now: sometimes I feel a little lonely at cons. It could be that I don't really like sitting around and doing nothing, even if I am with friends, or it could be because of my personality. Anyone who knows me knows that I am probably the most passive person on the face of the planet. If someone or some people want to break off from me or the group to go do their own thing, I just let them. But really, that does get a little lonely after a while, not having anyone you can really talk to. BUT the group of Hetalians I met up with, along with inviting me to In'N'Out with them on sight, actually took the time to debate if they wanted to come with me to the Soul eater tea party. I'm serious, there was a mini-conflict over whether or not at least some of them should come in with me, just so I wouldn't feel alone.
That's a good way to describe my con experience: I never felt alone. I actually remember thinking while standing in line for the tea party "I don't feel alone anymore." And just... wow
TuCon may not be the best con in the world, but the people I met more than made up for it.
