i'm home from confuzzled... actually, i've been home for almost a day now but i've slept most of it because post con exhaustion is always a thing. i'm so sad it's over- it was the best confuzzled yet! and next year's theme was revealed, which is video games, so it's going to be a whooooole lot easier to co-ordinate a room sign and badges yay.

i'm still tired so lemme give you a rundown of my highlights from this year:

♦ aki bringing a knockoff beyblade stadium and a bunch of cheap beyblades. much ripping happened then we did shots out the stadium on the last night. legend.

♦ having a really nice, bright, comfy hotel room overlooking the lake.

♦ inflatables panel! i got to see a bunch of really cool inflatables. my favourite was the giant wolf. hopefully next year the pool party will happen and i'll have something to bring along.

♦ little scribbles! i drew a picture and gem gave me a sticker and some transfer tattoos for being a good cub.

♦ suiting for the first time ever! ab let me borrow meeko for the con, and i got some really lovely pictures which i'll be uploading later. i never thought i'd enjoy suiting so much- hopefully i'll have a brambles partial ready to go for next year.

♦ the sponsor pack- the first year i went the goodies were okay, nothing massively special, but this year wasn't just nice stuff but also stuff i'll get good use out of.

♦ artists alley. good for creativity and for making new friends!

♦ seeing old friends and making new ones. this is always the best bit without a doubt.

also because the uk was on the highest level of terror threat alert the nec were checking bags, and i had an interesting experience with a security guard searching my case full of nsfw stuff and asking why so much fetish gear was coming through. i told him, and i don't think he was expecting the reply. it wasn't invasive or anything, i think he was just genuinely curious and i don't mind telling people as long as they're respectful about it. plus i guess what i had was tame compared to other stuff.

confuzzled really is my favourite con and it just keeps getting better. i'm so excited for 2018's outing and i'm already getting plans into motion for it. if things go to plan, i should be running an event and entering the fursuit dance competition.
