#London Super Comic Con

[gokired]

MCM through the Years!

I enjoy going to MCM ever since my first one in 2016. The joy of going to London’s convention at the ExCel never stops me from having some fun. Plus it was great to meet interesting new people and guests who I adore all through my life.

[oursuperadventure]

Heya! Next weekend I'm a guest at MCM Comic Con London! Come find me and Stef at booth 1H12-13 in the North Hall - we'll have a whole bunch of cute and spooky things with us!

Let me know if you're going! ✨🎃✨

London Comic Con had a lot of Super Mario Bros signage and even had the Movie Van.  (The promo peep who took my picture didn’t know how to take a picture in landscape - ugh somethings never change with promo 🤦🏻‍♀️ )

Even the Olympia Overground station was getting into the swing of things with special decals on the ticket barriers:

“You can either have it right, or you can have it fast.”

I finally got around to cosplaying Gwen today!! I’m super happy with the turnout and I’m excited to say that I’ll be debuting her publicly at MCM Comic Con London for the TMAGP panel!

They need to release the time for the panel so I can get there as early as possible…the excitement is too much I love this pod with my whole heart ☹️

Bonus: Gwen goes for a cheeky Nandos after the Bonzo incident…

if he had a superpower, it would be flight

he finds it crazy that people have Eddie tattoos

it only took him a few takes to sling the guitar over his shoulder as Eddie

he thinks Eddie would love Eleven and be impressed by her powers

This panel was a mess and people were either repeating questions multiple times or asking really odd, invasive, uncomfortable things or kinda trauma dumping on him so this is a lot shorter so I’m sorry if this is super all over the place. Lots of people asking for shoutouts and a bunch of other bullshit. It was ridiculous lol.

Henchmen & Women Mad Hatter

The Wonderland Gang which most of Mad Hatter's hench men and women come from first appeared in Detective Comics #841 2008.

Introduced with the The Wonderland Gang March Hare real name Harriet Pratt. She was born in East London where she fell in love with a girl named Lily Shaw. When they grow up they moved to the America to start a new life. They would steal jewels and other valuable goods to get by before the two got a jobs as escorts at a club owned by William Warren. One night they discovered a new white noise machine created by Warren which would be able to control peaples minds. They decided to steal the it, but were interupted by the Mad Hatter who was being chased by security. Mad Hatter escapeb, but both women were shot and left for dead by security. Harriet was saved and nursed back to health by the Mad Hatter. He told her that is device was stolen by Warren and he wanted revenge him, just like Harriet. Harriet took on the name March Harriet joining his Wonderland Gang then attacked Warren's complex. Warren was away on business so they killed his entire staff begin her criminal career.

Introduced with the The Wonderland Gang the Lion real name Lewis Yarnell was an enforcer before he joined the Wonderland Gang with Skitch Benson. They stole two hundred thousand dollars from the Empire Bank as well as a stylized rendering of the lion and the unicorn.

Introduced with the The Wonderland Gang the Unicorn real name Skitch Benson was an enforcer befoe he joined the Wonderland Gang with Lewis Yarnell. They stole two hundred thousand dollars from the Empire Bank as well as a stylized rendering of the lion and the unicorn.

Introduced with the The Wonderland Gang the Walrus real name Moe Blum was an enforcer for the Black Mask before his untimely demise. He was told Tweedledum and Tweedledee to join the Wonderland Gang as The Walrus. While robbing a bank he fought Nightwing and was utterly defeated by the him leading to his arreste.

Introduced in Detective Comics #74 1943 Tweedledee & Tweedledum real names Dumfrey Tweed and Deever Tweed are cousins who resemble each other so closely that they are often mistaken for identical twins. Going by the names Tweedledum and Tweedledee they started stealing from different places at the same time, to confuse the police. Eventually being defeated by Batman and Robin. They escaped prison, making a fake hotel to lure people and steal from them and running a political campaign to become Mayor of Yonville. Using the the law to arrest Batman before being beaten. Then they were sent to Arkham Asylum were they met the Joker. Acting as his muscle after moving to Metropolis before being stopped by Batman and Superman. They were there at the start of great gang war of Gotham and the GCPD shot  Dumfrey Tweed dead. During the Infinite Crisis Tweedledee and the New Dum are work with the Joker and Secret Society of Super Villains. We would find out that Dumfree's twin brother Dumson Tweed had taken his place. After Infinite Crisis the new Tweedledum and Tweedledee were part of the Wonderland Gang. Originally believed to be run by the Mad Hatter, it was actually the Tweeds who ran the gang using one of Tetch's own mind control devices on him in order to cash in on his notoriety. Recuting Lion, the Unicorn, the Walrus and the Carpenter. Eventually Mad Hatter got back at them by sticking mind control chips on the them and making them fight. After some time The Tweeds reformed the Wonderland Gang before apprehended by Batman, Robin and Nightwing.

Introduced with the The Wonderland Gang the Carpenter Real name Jenna Duffy was a pickpocket and con artist operating out of Keystone City. Later moving to Gotham when she got unwanted police attention. She was enlisted by Tweedledum and Tweedledee to serve as the Carpenter in their new Wonderland Gang. While they robbed a bank she fought Robin, who quckly defeated and arrested her. Duffy left the villain life in favour of working as an real carpenter. Though she tried some work in Keystone City, she later returned to Gotham. Taking jobs from super villains, among them the Gotham City Sirens and other who she would build lairs for extremely high prices. She was later found by the Broker, who gave her a job working for a new client known as the Director. When he tried to use her as a guinea pig for his deathtraps, she helped Batman in stopping him.

With all the different leaders like Mad Hatter, the Tweedle's and March Harriet as a potential candidate one has to be chosen. In the meantime though the disorder this brings matches the wonderland theme brilliantly. For March Harriet I believe you could push her into more of a Catwoman villain and have heard call Felicia the Cheshire Cat. With th Tweedles you could have them have to go up against the likes of the Joker gang given their previous connection and similar theming. Mad Hatter could easily come away with the wrong message. Instead of making an Alice he tries to make someone who can go up against Batman, a Queen of Hearts. Would the Gang expanding into her deck and him losing control as he sees her more as an Alice over time. The Carpenter in general should get more slice of life stories and any of the menagerie could make the protagonist of an interesting loser villain story. You have to remember Killer Moth may be lame, but he sits their thankful he's not the Walrus.

Ain't that just the way?

I dressed up as Wirt from Over The Garden Wall over the weekend for London MCM Comic Con! Felt it was more than fitting to take some pictures in the forest 🐸🫖🍂🍃

Massive shoutout to my super talented partner @pixiefairy15 for making my hat and cloak completely from scratch!

There were so many other Wirts and Gregory's there which was so cool to see 😊

Bestie Meetup!!!

So as I'm sure most of you are aware by now, me and @calcium-cat are very close best friends. We first started talking to one another when she was was finishing her first fic A Little Bitty of Hope a few years ago and we've basically been talking to each other on an almost daily basis ever since haha.

However she lives in the US while I live in Ireland, which are quite far from each other as you probably know, so we've never seen one another face to face before...

But finally, next Thursday after over one hundred days of counting down and planning, me and her are at last going to meet and hug and do all those things besties do when they get together X3.

Both of us will be travelling to London to attend MCM Comic Con for the weekend and to say I'm excited to see my bestie and attend the con with her would be a huge understatement. Thursday seriously cannot come fast enough (though the Con starts on the Friday I am meeting her the prior day so the jet lag will hopefully be gone by the time it starts haha).

As a fairly shy, quiet adult, I still cannot get over the fact that someone is willing to travel several hours overseas on a flight just to see me (attending the con is a nice bonus tho) ... Especially as bestie has never been on a flight before like, girl what? Are you sure about this XD? I still can't get over it honestly, but I'm hugely grateful for it <3.

Rest assured Bestie that I'm going to make sure that this is the best weekend ever for both of us :3! You're super duper awesome once again and I can't wait to meet you at the airport... Even if we'll both be slightly out of it from both tiredness and jet lag XD.

And I promise one day I'll come see you in America!

And that I'll get the next Xtra Small Chapter out before I meet you because how am I meant to look you in the eyes if I still don't have it posted XD

I'm not sure how much we'll really be posting about the trip on here, since I'm sure there's things we both wish to keep private but we still wanted to let our followers know what we're up to, especially since the UTMV fandom is what brought us together as friends and is one of the reasons we're so close. So yeah thanks UTMV fandom for letting me find my best friend :3! I appreciate you all very much <3!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

hi! when did matt said ‘who?’ when he was asked about nettles?? i heard that nowhere and im very interested if you have other ‘news’ like that cause i feel like everything that is said during con is being either twisted or hidden😔

It was at the talk in July at London Film Comic Con, I believe (there was a talk at the winter con in November last year too, I went to both)

It’s not a case of everything being twisted or hidden at these talks, it’s because Showmasters (the people who run the conventions) wouldn’t let us take videos 😭 they said at the beginning of both talks that photos were allowed but videos were not, and they’ve got security posted around the audience to make sure of it. Showmasters are also very tight and won’t let people take pictures of the guests (actors etc) at the tables or anything like that. Like during the July con I was going upstairs and I could see into the green screen area from above, and Matt was in there, so I went to take a photo but one of the staff got pissy at me and told me off because “you’re not allowed, it’s not fair on the people who paid money for their photos with him 😤”… like okay, love, I paid something like £235 for the diamond pass AND an additional £110 for another autograph so I could talk to him again, chill the fuck out. Basically Showmasters HATE the idea of people getting photos, autographs or anything from the actors for free since it means they as a company don’t make money off it.

(For the record Matt was super sweet and after his talk was taking photos with a kid dressed like his Doctor, he’s an awesome person)

Some other things I can remember off the top of my head (I’ve probably mentioned some of these before but oh well):

When asked if he was Team Black or Team Green, he said “is that a joke? Team Black”

Someone asked how he felt about certain deleted scenes being cut, namely the scene of Daemon hugging his daughters (which there’s a photo/still of) and he had no idea what we were talking about 💀 he joked that some of the audience must work for HBO because we seemed to know more than him about it

He said that Daemon does love Rhaenyra. “Is it a bit weird? Yeah” but he does love her

“Working with Emma D’Arcy is great”

“No one can trust Mushroom”

Both he and Emma looked at each other like “???????” When they read the choking scene because neither of them thought it made any fucking sense whatsoever

In July he confirmed that he’d been filming in Wales for S2 so we COULD be getting Daemyra scenes since I think Emma was also seen filming in Wales

The reason Olivia Cooke and Bethany Antonia (Alicent and Baela) cancelled their appearances at the con in July is because of filming conflicts, they had last minute changes to their filming schedules

Hasn’t read ALL of Fire and Blood, just the parts related to Daemon (I’m guessing the Dance of Dragons sections)

That man did NOT stop praising the absolute shit out of his co-stars by the way, especially Emma. He also used the correct pronouns for Emma the entire time he talked about them, which I know is a low bar to set but still, my point remains that Matt is just so respectful of Emma and clearly loves working with them

“Come to my kitchen, I’ve got the sonic” 😏

He also talked a lot about Doctor Who at these talks, which - I’ll be honest - I have only watched one episode of (and it was his first episode) so I don’t remember anything that well about his Doctor Who answers. To add, sometimes the people at the con choose audience members with the STUPIDEST questions instead of fans with actual genuine ones - like in November when someone got the mic and asked him to give them middle names for their godchildren or something 💀

Verity Glass, aka @anadapta with the sweet single image ghost story she whipped up for me at London Super Comic Con back in 2016.

When admiring her table there, I saw that a sign that read:

“Things I would like to draw today: Robots and ghosts”,

and I instantly realised that that was something I could work with. She was not familiar with either Doug or Warlock, but I briefly outlined their history and she had access to google, so I came back half an hour later to find this completely charming piece of the self-soul-friends (in their… sadly separated period) waiting for me, and I love it to bits!

One of our favourite things about our Japan trip was winning prizes from gashapon capsule machines! We got loads of cool lil' things throughout the trip but I think the one that truly captured Stef's heart was this great little Dragon Quest slime!

This comic is gonna be in Our Super Japanese Adventure! Pre-order a copy now over at sarahgraley.com/shop!

A huge thank you to everyone who came to see us at London Film & Comic Con ! It was our first time ever doing this show and we had a lovely time!

Our next show is MegaCon Manchester on 29/30th July 2023! We've not done a Comic Con in Manchester since 2018 so we're pretty excited! Let us know if you're coming!

miraculous UK fans' meets server!

[smolwritingchick]

Super duper random but I’m also going to write a smol brainstorm of Jennie attending New York Comic Con in 2018! I want her to attend and be a guest doing autographs and photo ops. She’d meet Armies, new fans that liked her in Black Panther and old fans from Amity. I believe it’d shock ARMY when NYCC announces her as a guest and they’ll try to jump at the chance to meet her, crashing the site. A whole K-Pop idol there? Chaotic and exciting. Those who already have NYCC badges will be thrilled to not have to be on the waitlist to try to buy one. It’ll be around the love yourself tour and after the Chicago dates she’d attend Thursday to Saturday at NYCC and then make her way to London for those tour stops.

I even want Jungkook to join her one day to enjoy the con and they can cosplay wearing Iron Man suits for a little bit. I see fans unaware it would be them under the suits and helmets until they post photos about it. “I met JenKook unintentionally and for free!?” I see them saying stuff like that lol. Before the show even starts they will get there early, recording Bangtan Bombs to explore the show floor.

I even see him taking a cute photo op with her by picking her up to test the camera just before her first photo op session too. I’ll make it fun. I see Jen as someone who really wants to do her best to meet as many fans as she can while being safe about it. She’ll totally have one of the biggest lines, making traction from non K-Pop listeners on who she is. I may even put some of my personal experiences meeting my favs at NYCC too for fun. When I met this one awesome person, her line had to be split. So her line had to continue in another section of the floor. It was insane.

Also Danai Gurira attended NYCC 2018! Her and Jennie would do team up photo ops and catch up 💜❤️
