DCC Day 3!
Another eventful comic con finished! Today was the last day of the con and the energy was definitely slower than yesterday but we still were running around the majority of the day. I don’t even think we ate lunch today?? Just kept moving. The showroom closes early on Sundays and that means things were selling out and selling out quickly, so any downtime either of us had was spent traversing the show room and spending gross amounts of money. We saw two panels as well and sat in on the educational panels as well so here’s the final recap:
We sat in on both the David Tennant, which was absolutely packed, and the KJ Apa panel. Both were super fun, KJ’s was the last one of the day and the crowd definitely wasn’t as rowdy (also the moderator was very unfunny and kinda annoying) so the energy was definitely low, but KJ made the best of it and was super gracious and informing of his answers and I learned a few more things about him which I didn’t know. Like that he never intended to be an actor and still doesn’t really want to be a major actor, he instead wanted to be an accountant and got into acting by luck of the draw. He’s also a huge spiderman and Tom Holland fan which was super cute to see. And other random facts
Didn’t initially think he would get along with the Riverdale cast very well because he was the only foreigner and didn’t know where he would fit in
Would like for Archie to be single for a while
Has the most fun filming with Cole
says he’s never met anyone like him and Dylan and could never compare them to any of the other friends he’s had
Was initially a bit nervous shooting his scenes with Sarah Habel (Miss Grundy) because he had never had to shoot scenes like that before
David Tennants panel was amazing and he’s an absolute presence on stage. Super fun and lively and so incredibly humble. Made a lot of jokes about his Presbyterian guilt which I thought was really funny. He was asked a lot questions and they were all from different projects he’s worked on which was really nice because we got to see at least a little bit of his thoughts when it came to all of his roles. He says he doesn’t have a favorite role but the audience agreed that they thought Killgrave was his best work.
Honestly he seems like an incredibly amazing man. He talked about a lot of relevant topics not just in his shows but in real life. When asked about Killgrave and how he felt about him, he explained that all villains both on screen and in real life are just going through some stuff. Which, he explained, never excuses their actions or should make people sympathize them, but makes it easier to understand their motivations and POV. Which is how he approaches playing villains.
Asta also got to meet this lovely human and said he was sweet and kind for someone who has as much star power as he does. Also very tall. A real life angel.
I didn’t get any pictures cause cameras are super restricted, but I got to meet and get my Pop signed by Isaac Hempstead Wright, who plays Bran Stark on Game of Thrones. I got to speak with him for a second or two while he was signing and he’s honestly so sweet and so nice and doesn’t seem like fame has affected him in the slightest. He got donuts delivered to his table and was joking around with Kristian Nairn (Hodor) who was at the table next to him. I would love to get a drink with him honestly. Game of Thrones has officially wrapped for the season and I asked him how he felt about the ending and how he thought fans would take it. He personally is really pleased with the ending and said there could be no better ending for a show like this. He said that not everyone will be happy because the writers can’t please everyone, but thinks a lot of people will enjoy it. Starks Rule!
As far as nonsense we bought, we bought got one of the mystery boxes simply because we’ve never gotten one and wanted to see what all the hype was about. I got the marvel, the first picture, and got an avengers blanket, a venom hat, captain american patch and sticker, doctor strange socks, a keychain light, a hawkeye lanyard, and a fantastic four sticker. Personally, I don’t think it was worth it and most likely won’t be buying another one ever again. None of those items seems justifiable for the price I paid and I won’t be using any of them since 1) I don’t like captain america and 2) They’re cheap toys. I do like the blanket though and my brother will enjoy the hat.
Asta got the Supernatural box and she did enjoy her’s and she got much better items than I did. Not everything in that picture is from the box, the pop below Dean and the Star Wars stuff of course wasn’t in the box. She got the Dean Pop (which already makes her box better than mine), a belt, a wallet, a SPN cigarette tin, and a pillow. She says that if it came with a shirt she’d be happier with it.
Other than that we saw more amazing cosplays including that fantastic Maleficent and spot on Loki and Killmonger. We also found a booth that was selling 5$ Pops which was freaking amazing considering I paid 16$ for my Bran Pop. I got Elliot Alderson from Mr Robot (my son and stars) and Asta got Hux (garbage boi). Also got some artwork for my mom and Asta got some tea for her brother. I also impulsively bought Cards Against Humanity and a new tarot set cause I am truly a garbage person and have no concept of money and my cow brain sees something remotely interesting and wants to blow 60$ on it.
But yeah! Comic con has been super fun and we learned so much and had an amazing time this year. Each year we always kind of level up in our con prowess and we hope next year we can show out with some cosplay. Y’know, when we financially recover. If anyone else was at DCC let us know how it was for you! We’d love to chat about it/compare experiences! Also if the cosplayers who’s pictures I put in this post happen to see this please let me know who you are so I can tag you! Credit where credit is due!
Thanks!

Dani from the Adventure Zone Amnesty. Really fun cosplay, lots of people commented on the teeth, but no one knew who the heck I was. I found an Aubrey Little though!
Also these were very comfortable fangs. Easy to close my mouth and talk. They fell out a few times but I just brought dental glue.
