AWA Con Report...
Went to AWA on a Saturday. My costume of choice for this year was Day of Black Sun!Toph. XD Got a whooooole lot of hugs from random people and other Avatards and I had my picture taken more times than I could count. XD
There this one cosplayer in particular who was the cutest little Inuyasha cosplayer I've ever seen. XD He couldn't have been more than maybe 7-years old, and he was just so gosh-darned cute. XD After I took his picture he went right to me and asked "I can take a picture with you?" XDDDDD So cute! His Dad was with him and asked me if I would be around on Sunday (I wouldn't be, unfortunately), as they both recognized me as Toph. From what I hear, he was also seen as Fire Nation! Aang. XD (So cute~!)
Also noted: Whenever another Avatar cosplayer was encountered, there was much hugging and happy squeeing. XD
Let's see.... Another highlight was when a random person asked me to earthbend them... So I did. XD And another random people asked me for my deviantart account as I was headed to a panel I wanted to see. (Random, but awesome. XD)
Speaking of panels, I got to see the Vig Mignognia panel. Aiyeeeeeee! That man is so adorable and sweet. He's a character himself. XD I also got to ask him a question! XDDDDDDDDDDDDD (Question: what were your favorite Full Metal Alchemist moments? Answer: Definately Episode 13 and the last three episodes.) XD Other cute moments included three fangirls giving him a toy lightsaber, him joking around with the Freezeframe guy, his shoutout to his mom and uncle (n'aaawww), amoung others. One fangirl asked if his could send a video-taped shoutout to her friend who couldn't be at the con. He actually did a fake temper-tantrum going "Why?! WHY?! WHY COUDLN'T YOU COME!?!?! DX WAAAH! WE MISS YOUUUU! WH-HI-HI-HYYYY?!?!" XD He also made a joke saying "No, I won't right Roy Mustang's name in a Deathnote, saying he dies from big crushed by Armstrong!" and told about his experiences in voice-acting, such as the powdered dough-nut story and coming up with a completely nickname for Kurogane's character in his work for Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicle. I'm going to have top illustrate that and give him a print of... "Kurger-burger!" XD He even did Caramel Dansen! XD
