BanzaiCon RecapI don't even know how to start this journal. This convention was so different from any that I have been to before. I had a lot of fun. The convention staff worked so hard to make the event a success and their efforts paid off. All of the events were very fun things were running on schedule.
Everyone was extremely welcoming and *twinfools and I felt right at home immediately-- like we were among good friends.
Friday, we cosplayed CardCaptor Sakura again. I don't remember much about this day lol The con started at 6 and we played some "ice breaker games", which were a lot of fun. Then watched the opening ceremonies and they were fantastic! After that, I think we just talked to a bunch of people then finished the night off, watching the concerts.
An awesome Tin Tin cosplayer we met on Friday

Saturday, we were up early to get ready for our 10am panel. We cosplayed Bleach again, which Twin has been wanting to do for a long time. It was interesting being Orihime. I wanted

Banzaicon Re-Cap, Vancouver FanExpo and FanimeBanzaicon
Banzaicon was AMAZING. The con was intimate, unique and incredibly fun. We had an amazing reception there, I would have never imagined that so many people wanted to meet us from all over the place. A huge thank you to everyone who came to our panels. They were all full, including the 10am ones (which UBER impressed me, cause even Nova and I were tired for those XD). Everyone was so friendly, funny and a pleasure to be around

I want to give a special thanks to the Banzaicon staff who were incredibly professional, accommodating and took perfect care of us while we were there. The con had so many things that I had never seen at other cons, which was especially impressive because it was a small-size con.
We had an amazing time in Norway in general as well, everyone we met was so nice!
All the people at the con were so wonderful. We got so many lovely gifts as well! Thank you to everyone for making us feel so welcome

and thank you so much for having us! TAKK~!

Sakura Con Recap and Banzai Con PlansSakura Con Recap
Thursday
So *twinfools and I arrived in Seattle in the afternoon and went to the hotel to check-in. We had one heck of a time, but once everything was sorted out, we dropped off our bags and went to pick up our good friends, ~TerrorSprinkles and ~caineyamiyasha, from the train station. With all four of us finally there, we got ready for the convention.
Twin and I wore Peeta and Katniss (movie arena versions) and trolled around in those for awhile. We met up with :devGeeky-Spirit: and got some night shots in our Hunger Games cosplays.
After that, we went for a swim in the very crowded pool and called it a night.
Friday
This was the ~FightingDreamersPro group cosplay and this year we did X-Men. I've been wanting to cosplay Phoenix for a very long time so I was very happy to finally get the chance to do it. It was so much fun cosplaying with the rest of FDP again. It sucks that we are so busy and don't get to see each other as often as we used to.

What doesn't kill you makes you strongerI just went back and read some of the horrible comments I've received from people in the past.
I remember how hurtful it was and how much I wanted to just dissapear from it all. I felt helpless and hopeless.
The internet can be a terrible place.
When people aren't accountable for what they say they feel a certain sense of power. The ability to judge others without being judged ourselves is a position of immense dominance. It's exhilarating to exercise that dominance over another person.
But now, looking back, I realize that it doesn't bother me anymore. I don't even bother hiding, deleting or responding to those comments because it just doesn't bug me. I feel a resounding "eh",
I keep those comments up so that people can see the kind of behaviour that people reduce themselves to when they're behind a computer screen. Every "this is shit" or ""he" is just a dyke and a "she"" has meaning to me now. It means that I've overcome something that I never would have thought possible. I'm not hu

Fanime 2012, Youtube and Kingdom Bros BloopersFanime
First things first, we leave for Fanime in 4 days!!!! 8D I'm getting all shaky-peeing-chihuahua just thinking about it. We're staying with ~caineyamiyasha and ~TerrorSprinkles who are gonna pick us up on Wednesday and show us around their neck of the woods which I'm greatly looking forward to. We don't get to spend very much time with them, so that little vacation day will be awesome I'm sure. Not to mention the con itself is sure to be a blast. I can't wait to meet all the folks who're going please comment and let me know what you're planning to bring for that awesome MUTLTISTALK effect 8D I also look forward to meeting up with people I've met before, because let's face it we only get to see each other once or twice a year and that's just too little-a-timeframe

I really hope I get to meet as many people as possible, because that's the reason I go to cons! XD So as per usual please don't be afraid to come say hi! No matter what, you're not a bother, I'm not going to knoc

Kingdom Bros! and FanimeKingdom Bros
Hey guys! So as we're preparing for Fanime we managed to fit in the filming of a series we've been waiting to do for a while. We filmed the first 2 episodes of Kingdom Bros this weekend and all went really well. So I am pleased to present, Kingdom Bros!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1GUlOtId6E&feature=youtu.be
We'll be working on a lot of projects during the summer. Kingdom Bros, Murmbering Crows (Blue Exorcist) Part II, a handful of CMVs and much much more (Fox and Box??? HAH we're behind in doing the finale for that

BABY STEPS, we're procrastinators XD)
Fanime
So I'm not 100% sure on when I'm going to be wearing my cosplays for Fanime, but I can say WHAT I am cosplaying! It'll be:
-Remus (Harry Potter: The Marauders)
-Blood (Alice in the Country of Hearts)
-Tidus (FFX)
-Ryoga (Ranma)
-Luke Fon Fabre (Tales of the Abyss)
Still sorting out some plans with other folks, but those are the cosplays that I'm bringing

I absolutely cannot WAIT for Fanime, I

ECCC, Sakura Con and Banzai ConSo spring is going to be busy for me. Three conventions-- maybe four in the next two months.

If you're going to Sakura Con let me know what you're cosplaying! I'll be keeping my eyes peeled. i always love meeting new people at cons as well at catching up with people I've met before at con. In fact it's the major reasons why I go to cons XD So if you spot me please don't be shy and come say hi! (LO RHYME WHUUTT!?) As I've stated before I promise I'm not intimidating or mean and you can't possibly embarrass yourself or piss me off (DON'T WORRY I've got the awkwar

Alcon 2012 and EnglandIt's been a crazy two weeks here in Vancouver for us XD We were guests at two of our cons in Vancouver which were on back to back weekends! It was a lot of fun but it's been cosplay-o-rama and con-o-rama none-stop for 2 (going on 3) weeks. Alcon will be our third con, so we're prepping and resting up for it so that we can show everyone the best time possible and have an absolute blast ourselves! Last year was amazing, this year is sure to be 100% better with :iconvaldrein: coming along. I'm so excited to see Parle and our friends from Alcon and Banzaicon again! I've missed you guys!!!!!!!!! Plus I can't wait to meet new people at Alcon this year

I'll watch the rain as I touch all your faces... and something about fire... I don't actually know the song I just use it out of context.
We're running a number of panels at the con, including one we're doing for the first time (Makeup Panel). We'll also be premiering Episode 3 of Kingdom Bros which is, for lack of a better word, terrifying.
