i was just resting my feet at Rudy road exchange and this gorgeous incredible Emet came n sit with me!!! T_T I was just so brain fried by the happiness until I forgot to even remove my mask 馃槶
It was a thankless chore to endure this swill, which is apparently made from grapes -
VIERAPRIL 2024 :: Day 4 - Clash
It is not his sudden appearance on the political scene of Mhach or his inclination to throw around vast sums of gold on vanity projects or his relative lack of magical prowess or even his distaste for the machinations of war that has made Bricriu a bit of a pariah in the Coven (though none of these things have earned him allies). It is often his simpering personality and mood swings that tend to inevitably grate on his fellows. He has been known to challenge his fellow Magi to duels over the quality of wine served at his soirees.
There's only one of his colleagues he wants dead, though.
Well... I've traded at many cons in my time and I have been at Kupocons since the very first UK event. To tell you I'm overwhelmed with how Pom Central went is an understatement. To date, this is by far the most successful single day I've ever had and it almost ended up being the most successful of all time! Thank you so, so much to every single one of you who came to see me, whether you bought things, did the stamp rally or popped by for a chat. Also to our absolutely amazing artist group for spurring me on through the last few months. You all made this happen! 馃槶鉂わ笍
Outside of trading, I had a smashing time meeting the wonderful guests, catching up with the Kupo fam and making new friends.
Going as Charon to meet the XVI guests gave me some absolutely wonderful memories, especially with Lorraine, who insisted that we make a video - couldn't keep a straight face halfway into it. 馃槀
Equally the VII guests on the Sunday were lovely too - always a pleasure to see John and Caleb return with their boundless enthusiasm! Everyone was so complimentary about the art I took for signing too, I was in actual tears. ;u;
Food and cosplay hiccups unfortunately meant that we turned up at the Honey Bee Blitz very late, but if you saw me either towards the end or after the party in the lobby, I was Madam Emet - apparently I can't attend a Kupo without some form of Emet cosplay now. XD
I'm not great at expressing myself verbally or approaching people (especially when there's so much happening), but make no mistake, if I have ever talked to you for any length of time at a Kupocon, you are in my heart and the real reason I do my best to go to every event that I can. I would do absolutely anything for you guys.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you and I hope to see you all at Glasgow. 馃挄

I get to make another Emet-Selch wig today :) I will try my hand at doing a progress thread below this, but I apologize if I format it poorly because I haven't done a cos progress thread on this site in YEARS

was watching a very good video essay on shadowbringers and the art of grief and halfway through the creator comes out in full emet-selch cosplay with a professional grandpa mug and says 'i entertained the possibility of downplaying my own feelings on this character for the sake of objectivity but then i actually looked at the state of the script. im not sure i could obscure how i feel about this guy if my life depended on it'
i have never connected more immediately to another person in my life
