ACEN 2010 [PICTURES]
ANIME CENTRAL 2010
Well, Anime Central has definitely been a nice wake up into the anime/nerd/pervert/crazy world considering the Thursday I drove down to Chicago was my last day of finals for the semester! I feel kind of bad referring to it as my 'warm-up' for the rest of the summer cons, but it was and it was the best warm up ever!! I ran into a ton of fantastic bros and partook in a lot of new inside jokes which I'll happily include the rest of you in!
Anime Central is official dubbed "Awkward Con" for many reasons. Namely our use of 'awkward turtle', 'awkward balloon', 'awkward palm tree', 'awkward mustache', 'awkward spider', 'awkward bananas', 'awkward Gokudera', and 'awkward Ryohei', to name a few. I definitely have a few photos in this post that include....almost all of these XD
In any case, the con was gravy and tsunayoshi and tosshi hosted an amazing panel and invited cayterror and myself to troll it~ So we did. And we have a video of it. But the video is so big tosshi is working on splicing it, etc, but that should be available in a few days! It's hilarious, regardless~
Whatever, ON WITH THE PHOTOS!

So, it started in the lobby when we were in the wrong line being borededed and starting out Friday morning already being complete dbags. Gotta hand it to these two though, they make hella convincing Hibari and Spanner, and tosshi even made her own fucking lollis for the con! They were delish! ♥
After waiting in line to grab my badge, we was HUNGRY so we went to the cafeteria that no one knew about until Sunday and had ourselves some lunchtiemz. I had white pants and a white vest on, so I had to take precautions while eating a packed full hotdog...
Yup, that meant napkin!bib and flipped back tie. Ryohei knows how to keep clean~ Hibari doesn't give a shit.
Then that douchehole Gokudera showed up, also from the same trading cards that my cosplay is from, and we sparkled the fuck up (like vaaaampires!) and became HOLOGRAPHIC!!! Or at least I was already holographic and made Gokudera holographic too 8( Then after running around the halls getting our photos taken, we wanted to take a brief break...which involved sitting...and I didn't want to get my white pants dirty so we found the next best place.
Gokudera had to invade though, also thinking it was a very good idea:
Spanner was feeling le lonely though so...we...yeah. Made a new OTP for the fandom? Spanner/Ryohei anyone??
Then Hibari was pissed about us TYL pricks using him as our personal chair and picked a fight with Gokudera. Gokudera deflected Hibari with his 3Oh!3 gang sign though, which seemed to be our gang sign of the con as well (as seen by future photos~)
Anyone order douchebags??
So, after awhile, we took another break as we were thirsty now 8( So, we waited for Spanner to grab an apple juice for the group.
Ryohei was listening to Gokudera tell a derpy story about what the fuck ever and mentioned something about Kyoko or how boxing was stupid or something that set them into a tizzy:
That ended quickly though when Spanner returned with the communal apple juice! Hibari was the one to start it!
Hibari didn't want another sip though after everyone else put their stupid germs in it! What a dick. (btw, Gokudera is definitely playing with salt in one of those photos. Warding off demooonnnsss!!!)
Back to the hall then! Everyone was super jealous at how pimp Ryohei was with his super fly shades, so they decided to take them from him and be cool too!
Starting with Hibari. XD
Then we all flashed our gang signs!
NERDS.
And then Gokudera found something...very...interesting 8(
HM. Spanner/Tsuna doujin?! EHHH???
Ah well, after buying some pr0n, we headed over to the Reborn photoshoot, which was pretty decent compared to the other photoshoots going on at ACen /cough/ We ran into the lovely thetenthvongola and some other familiar faces!
My fascination with poles.../end.
TYL!Tsuna~ (thetenthvongola)
And then. Then. They came. Actual children Reborn, Lambo, and I-Pin! Lambo and I-Pin were siblings, and the Reborn was actually kind of a huge gangster little kid that creeped me out a bit. BUT REGARDLESS. YEAH!
I wanted to have a picture with Lambo and I-Pin though, since Ryohei/Lambo is hilarious, (they're tots bros!) and Ryohei/I-Pin is actually one of my derp otps x) So yay! Fangirled over them both for sure!
And that's how Friday ended for us (photos wise)!
Saturday started hilariously with Spanner and his new wife, Miku (previously our Gokudera XD)
CREEP LOL. ♥
Hibari also did a transformation into SAWADAAAAA and was ultra adorable and probably the best Tsuna I've seen 8(
DER. ADORABLE.
And then I went from TYL!classy!holographic!Ryohei to...not classy, painter!Ryohei.
I'm going to get arrested.
Definitely going to get arrested.
Maybe not XD ♥
Regardless, the pretty empty cafeteria was our hotspot for breaks and where a lot of our AWKWARD shit happened.
Awkward Palm Tree
Awkward Balloon
Awkward Turtle
A-Awkward Swedish Fish?? DX
Then 5:00pm was rolling around and that meant REBORN PANEL TIME!!! There was an amazing turnout and this amazing Kyoko cosplayer showed up that I fell in loooove with but didn't get any good photos with 8(!!!!!!!!! /SOB/ But ah, maybe someday I'll meet up with her again HOPEFULLY and we'll take a bunch of amazing pictures 8( Her personality = Kyoko's personality. FFFFFFFFFFFFF!
Anyway, videos of the panel are on the way! It involved Gokudera and me barging in late and yelling at each other and consistently being the comic relief of the panel. So fun~ ♥
After the panel we invited people to a semi-private photoshoot. I didn't really take any pictures of it but here are the highlights:
Spanner running from Byakuran!
OUR HUDDLE!!! YEAH!!!!
And then this:
Tsuna: 8DDDD;;; /AWKWARD TURTLE INDEED.
So, during the con there was totally a prom going on! 8D WHICH IS HILARIOUS. So, we all gathered at the fountain and were dicks, basically?
DAT ASS, this is how we do! And omg I was def working dat ass 8'(
UH. I'm running out of excuses for some of these images...
Smarmy!Gokudera
AWKWARD BALLOON.
Ryohei: AWKWARD GOKUDERA
Gokudera: AWKWARD RYOHEI
5927 ♥ Gentleman.
Then some prom girls came up and wanted photos of us, and in turn I asked if we could get photos with them, since Gokudera and I were dressed so classy. But...of course...I had to be a dick.
Ryohei: SCORE!!!!!!!!!
I'm such a dick. I felt bad afterward because I was laughing so hard at how much of an asshole I was, not at them~ They were super awesome sports ♥
Jensen Ackles/Blue Steel faces~
And then "DAYYYUUUMMMM!!!!!!" XDDDDDDDDDDD
Then we have Tsuna and Alaude!
Then we wandered off to have a super private photoshoot in the parking garage. And thoooose photos I'm going to save for a later post because they're big and pretty great and I've already filled this entry up pretty nice XD SO JUST WAIT, THEY'LL BE COMING probably when the videos are uploaded~
HERE'S A TEASER THOUGH:
Sunday was a nice cool-down from Friday and Saturday's constant activities! I was just super casual painter!Ryohei (without bandages and stuff) and tsunayoshi dressed into her China garb. It was just...pleasant and involved me buying a really hot Supernatural SamxDean doujin??? XDDDDD YEAH! Also bought a pretty fly red mustache for future mustachio'd cons hahahaha XDD
Awkward Panda XD
Okay! Yeah, the rest of the good photos will be coming in a post in a few days x) Until then!! You'll be seeing my retarded face at Anime Expo this July as well as Otakon at the end of July! x) Can't wait to see all of your lovely faces!!!!
-TABE! OUT.
