Back Online + AC Reflection!
11 years ago
The status of my streaming is up in the air currently. This will be updated soon.
Work schedule: A mess right now.
Stream rules: No advertising, no roleplaying, no sob stories, no harassment. Hey everyone! I'll start off with the part most of you are probably more interested in: I have internet again, meaning I can upload stuff now! Because of all the chaos of moving and Anthrocon, I didn't get as much done in that time period as I would have liked, but...such is life?
Anyways, as I said, I went so AC! Honestly, it was an absolute blast and I wouldn't hesitate to go again next year. I'll just do it by day:
TL;DR: I am so honored to be a part of this fandom, I had an amazing time and met many many wonderful inspiring people
Anyways, as I said, I went so AC! Honestly, it was an absolute blast and I wouldn't hesitate to go again next year. I'll just do it by day:
Thursday - My mum woke me up at 5 AM to say bye to her and couldn't fall back asleep so I played BOI. Left at 9 with some friends and got breakfast at Dunkin Donuts. Left for DLCC at 11 in my fursuit, parked and walked back stopping for pictures with people every so often. I preregistered and it took all of 3 minutes to get my badge.....then I waiting with my friends in the regular reg line for 5 AND A HALF hours. Finally understood the meaning of Linecon. Did some free art for people in line including a very nice fellow with a fursona named liquid. I can't seem to find them on FA, however. Got through line, checked into our hotel and got dinner. Went back to the hotel and changed out of fursuit and went to the dance that night. Tons of fun!! So tired and sweaty after it though.
Friday - Woke up, got in fursuit and went to the con. Due to a misunderstanding we missed opening ceremonies but ah well. Went to the Video game room and competed in the Mario Kart 8 tournament. Despite never playing the newest version, I got to semi-finals! It was a lot of fun and I got a Nic Cage badge! Ran back to the hotel and changed into fursuit. Went to Uncle Kage's Story hour WHICH WAS AMAZING AND HILARIOUS with a nice younger girl in a coyote partial named Spi. After that we returned to the video game room and I competed in the Pokemon XY tournament. I met
dustormcloud,
meekameerkat and
blackngoldtigerlord who were all great fun to be around!! Only went three round out of five before I got booted out, though. The guy who beat me won second so I don't feel too bad? It was so much fun I opted out of going to the fireworks. I stayed in fursuit to go to the dance, but I overheated immediately and ran straight for the headless lounge where I met
pedrolerenard who blew my mind with all sorts of crazy ideas for building fursuits and stories. After all the excitement we went back to the hotel and collapsed.
Saturday - Dragged myself out of bed super early to get a fursuit badge. Trolled around the Dealer's Den for awhile but decided to come back later to buy something. I went to
lemonbrat and aired my complaints to the same guy who I talked to at Tekko. He was absolutely taken aback at my issues and apologized genuinely but the other woman vendor there totally seemed annoyed?? He was super nice enough to give me $50 off my next purchase and free alterations, which I may take but to be honest if most of the Lemonbrat team is like that woman then idk if I really want to do business with them again after that? Went back to the hotel and changed out of suit as I didn't feel like being in the parade, it was soooooo hot. Hung around in the Dealer's Room with
blackngoldtigerlord and got a TON of swag. Swag includes: A big jingly bell, a lime green harness from
warhorseworkshop, a GM tshirt, a super cute dinosaur bandana, a print of the Scorpio dragon, and a badge!! After that we got food and went to the Are You a Werewolf game. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN AND ARGUABLY MY FAVORITE PART OF THE CON. The people there were SO AWESOME (
wharst and
pocketgrok had FA accounts, so....hi!). After the first round, the super cute fursuiter ordered pizza and we sat around and talked for awhile.
wharst shared his banana lube with me and some others AND IT WAS NASTY AND TASTED PRETTY CLOSE TO BANANAS. We played round two and I was medium two times in a row which was weird but the town won by a slim margin. The fursuiter was taking a video of it so I hope it goes on youtube!!! After that we all frolicked to the dance where I got super overheated in suit immediately and retreated tail between my legs to the fursuit lounge again. Z!g (THEY TOLD ME THEIR FA BUT I FORGOT IT WAAAAHHH :( ) approached me as I was alone and struck up a conversation and Wylie came up too and we talked for awhile. They were both so funny and sweet! They told me to watch them at the dance comp and skedaddled, and so did I. Went back to the hotel sooooo sweaty and tired and also unsure of where my phone was.
Sunday - Woke up at 12:30 pm and panicked, found my phone and ran to DLCC, catching the comp JUST in time to watch Z!g and Wylie dance and they were incredible. Talked with
dustormcloud and wished him off as Sunday was his last day. Went to Are you a Changeling but the crowd was a little more reserved so it wasn't as fun, but still fun! Ran back to the hotel and got into suit to take professional photos. I was feeling a little discouraged about my fursuit when I left from the pictures but as I was standing around
humphreye45 approached me and explained he was Torch (
ToRcHAngleDragon ). He proceeded to say he saw me around at the con in fursuit and said I performed well in it and asked who made it. When I told him I did he was blown away and told me he thought someone like SparkyCanDo or Telephone did. He was so incredibly nice and it left me in the best mood, his words meant so much to me that I almost cried to be honest. If you read this Humphrey, thank you, truly!!!! After I ran up the down escalator and tripped and almost died, we left DLCC, got food and returned to the hotel. Pof brought Red Dragon Inn and we played a round before he departed. We showered, got ice cream and turned in for the night.
Monday - Not much to say, we cleaned up and left for home. TL;DR: I am so honored to be a part of this fandom, I had an amazing time and met many many wonderful inspiring people

You underestimate your ability to create a fursuit. You have so much talent. I'm assuming you just didn't notice (either because your site was limited or its not something you pay attention to..) but almost everyone we passed took a good look at your fursuit, and I think the looks were negative. Your suit is beautiful and its the equivalent of "professional" suits I've seen at the con. I may be biased, but personally I think you have a lot more talent then you think.
