Double Rainbow, All the Way across the skyyyy
Back from AWA. Didn't nearly sell enough to make it worth it. But, to keep from moping, I am only going to list the GOOD things about the con.
♥ Rooming with rizumcbutt, sgtspud, aoi_no_tenshi and aristocracytea
♥ BUTLER MAX!! A car dealership, supposedly, but we preferred to think of a store to get your butler from, where Alfred, Sebastian, Jeeves and Jarvis were all lined up on racks.
♥ Creepy Lowe's Guy. Seriously.
♥ Singing the Double Rainbow Song
♥ Singing Mulan as we "mulan'd it" to Artist's Alley.
♥ HEY PAKISTAN - Any time we thought we had a major problem- a costume breaking, prints not selling, we decided we were gonna call Pakistan, ask them to swim over and look at our huge problem. I.E., perspective, get.
♥ Getting Lost With Lilly - A Con staple. Even now that I have a GPS in my phone, I seem to have NO DIRECTIONAL SKILLS. Getting lost with me is pretty much a con tradition.
♥ Tablemating with rizumcbutt and talking about RP forever. Also, Liz, APP MEI RIGHT NOW.
♥ So much lesbian action. Seriously. I am surrounded. Also, deciding basically I am a straight girl in a lesbian's body, IDEK?
♥ A girl literally was so excited to see my Nabari print, she jumped up and down, and when she bought it, she skipped away hugging it to her chest. It was the only one I sold, but I was glad it made her day.
♥ I wasn't there for this, but Liz told me about it. There was an adorable Zuko and Mei pair. Mei had a big lollipop, and was walking with Zuko when it fell to the floor and shattered. Her immediate reaction was, "OH MY GOD. WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME. MY LIFE SUCKS." Zuko stooped to pick up the pieces and he offered them to her. And she said, "I DON'T EVEN WANT IT ANYMORE. I HATE EVERYTHING." and crossed her arms dramatically. SO IN CHARACTER AND THEY WEREN'T EVEN PREFORMING FOR ANYONE.
♥ Connected to that, THEY CAME BACK LATER. AND HAD AN AGE-APPROPRIATE, BODY-APPROPRIATE IROH. He came over and asked if we had Jasmine Tea IN THE VOICE. We were screaming.
♥ A crazy girl wearing a Sonic hat and paws came over and commented on Liz's Simbatman print. And suddenly, LAUNCHED INTO A 20-MINUTE DISCUSSION OF HER MAGICAL LION KING UNIVERSE. And she talked about it as if it were ALL TRUE. Let me give you some gems that we remembered:
"You know what? Lion cubs...are almost all girls..."
"Kovu was trained to be a barbaric man but he became a sexy man."
"Mufasa? He had a... a second wife... who was a spotted lion... and they had THREE BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS."
"No, see, they're in Egypt. And you know what? They're were-lions. In Egypt."
"NO, LIONS WOULDN'T DRIVE MALE CUBS OUT. THEY WOULDN'T DO THAT. THEY'RE GENTLEMEN."
And then she wandered off, mid-sentence. Still talking. Wat.
♥ Seeing and cuddling a rogue arricia_sama. Hnngh I miss this girl in my life.
♥ Also rogue Brittanies. Best girl seriously.
♥ Teeny tiny cosplayers. I AM SO WEAK FOR THEM.
♥ aoi_no_tenshi made me a Yoite-kitten pin ;A; It's so cute afdsmlkmfklsdfm.
♥ Scary Steven King Gas Adventure. Having to go to FOUR DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS TO GET GAS WITH LESS THAN A PINT LEFT sklfmsdlkfm.
♥ Coming home to hang out with kouyukki and bonus Kamille cuddlings.
Part of me wishes I had cosplayed instead. I was relieved not to worry and stress about getting it done. But at the same time, I feel like I would've gleaned something out of the con than just begging to make sales for three days and not leaving the AA. But that's what I'm meant to do, so, herp.
I skipped Senior Project this morning. I woke up and was like... yeah no. Goto will understand. Now time for Math- which is actually very adorable with Professor Yang.
Off I skuttle.
XOXO
