#convention: anime north

[reafu]

GUYS IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN! I'll be in the Artist Alley/Comic Market this weekend, at Table D02 with BRAND NEW ART if there's one good thing about the Covid craziness, is that it allowed me to make a lot of original artwork, so if you've had your eye on art featuring the Isidore Girls, now's your chance! Of course I have tons of fanart prints, buttons and keychains to help you get your fix!

So what should you do if you see me at the table? Chat! Tell me any shows your watching, who's your current waifu? What's the latest manga chapter to have you speechless? I want to hear it all! And if anything catches your eye, buy it! These goods need to go home with you! Once again I'll be at Table D02, see you this weekend!

Day 2 of Colossalcon North!! Dressed up as Sun from Five Nights at Freddy’s Security Breach!!

[caeboa]

It's official, I know what charms are coming with me to Anime North, so here's the run down! I'm at Table 326 all three days, and here's the map to find me too. If you're not coming to Anime North I'll also be putting everything left in stock up on my online shop for June, so hang tight and be ready to buy in case stock gets low! I have some new stuff debuting, like the Dungeon Meshi, two of the Rain Code charms, Vash (who I still need to post here oops), and Peeps/Pii-chan! I also have pretty much everything else I usually have though some of the full V3 Mosaic set is low quantities so if you have your eye on someone be quick! Reminder that Patrons can reserve merch and buy from me even when my shop is closed! I'll be updating my prints catalogue too online, with the most recent two mosaics being newly printed and some fun one-size art of the Dungeon Meshi stuff.

Day 2

It rained. A lot.

But even so, I had such an incredible time!

The original plan for today was to wear my Bleach cosplay, walk around the convention, maybe go to a panel, and then hit up the Bleach photoshoot at 5pm.

But since I was staying so close to the convention, I decided to wear BOTH my cosplays that day! That way, I could go to the Zelda photoshoot at 12pm as well.

The weather had slightly different plans.

It was a light rain when we left the hotel. Luckily, I remembered to bring an umbrella to Toronto so I could keep my makeup from being washed off. Little did I know that, when it came time for the photoshoot, the light rain would become a torrential downpour.

There were still quite a few of us who showed up to the Zelda photoshoot, and luckily, we were able to hide beneath a few trees from the rain and get a few photos in! It was such a wonderful time despite the rain. There was a raffle, there were four people dressed up from the Yiga Clan who brought bananas with them, and overall everyone looked absolutely stunning in their cosplays!

My dress got soaked but fortunately, my phone and merchandise did not! I am so glad I had my umbrella!

I met up with my friends back at the hotel. We got all dolled up and went to lunch! Then I missed a panel I thought I might like to go to, but it was alright because I'd already gotten to enjoy a panel with similar vibes from the day before, so it wasn't devastating or anything (and I really enjoyed my lunch too, haha)!

Then I got dressed in my Bleach cosplay and headed back to the convention!

This is the only gripe I had about the entire weekend. I had to get my weapon checked, and in order to do so, I had to walk SO FAR! Weapons check was not in the area it previously had been. Instead, they moved it to a completely different building (and it was on the far end of that building, too)! I'm glad I left well over an hour before the photoshoot was scheduled to begin, because it took me that long to find Weapon's Check and then walk back to where I started in order to get to the photoshoot.

The photoshoot, however, was an absolute BLAST! It was so much fun to see all the Bleach cosplayers! And I was also just so happy to be surrounded by people who shared a passion for the same anime I did. Also it was hilarious whenever the organizer called up a group of people (Quincy, Hollow, etc) and all the Ichigo cosplayers went "so us too, right?"

I had so much fun!

It's also really cool to see all the photos from the shoot pop up online!

There's only two issues: 1, I wish someone had reminded me to pull my mask down because I think I kept it up 80% of the time (oooops). And 2, I keep finding pieces of myself but nothing complete (so far! Lmao)

I think this is HILARIOUS, by the way. No hard feelings at all! My friends have called me Exodia. So we've got the head and the left arm, now I just need to find the other pieces! LOL

Anyway, after that was the Shonen Jump photoshoot!

And that was also amazing! It's so nice to have all the fans of different shows come together and cheer each other on instead of bashing each other's shows (looking at you, Twitter). I also saw that the One Piece photoshoot was moved to this later time because they got rained out, so I'm happy that it was sunny by 5pm so that they could get a chance to shine!

Overall, another very fun day! I did some shopping and met some wonderful people.

Eelboy Toilet Sangria

This is a premium Mostro Lounge recipe, it was only on the menu for 20 minutes before Azul removed it so pay attention

I promise this will only get worse as it goes along

1. First and foremost, get the cheapest red wine you can find. The bottles shown here went for $4 a pop. The cheaper the wine is, the better. We’re running a business here, production prices can make or break the bottom line. Get the real bad shit.

2. This is sangria, so we need more than just the red. Add in a dash of Brandy and some orange juice. You could probably use pineapple juice too, but we were saving that for Caribou Lous later.

3. This is a nautical toilet sangria, so throw in some Swedish Swimmers gummies. The sharks and dolphins are pretty good but for extra flavor be sure to include a Shrimpy or two.

4. Some fruit, so you can still claim that this is sangria and not just the worst, most wretched jungle juice anyone has ever mixed.

5. Gushers

6. We’ve got a theme to uphold here, so you’re gonna wanna toss in some Twin Snakes Eels. Packaging claims one is sour and the other is sweet. Jury is still out on who is who.

7. Congratulations! You have been banned from Alchemy class. After a few hours it should turn into a dubiously sweet sangria. Trawl the depths and you’ll find that the gummies have absorbed so much booze that their outermost has begun to slough off in a truly horrendous manner. It gives the drink quite a distinctive mouthfeel.
