"Well, Mr. Jeffries," Sophie (or rather, Ludmila Popova, official representative of a wealthy overseas tech consortium that was definitely not a thinly veiled front for any shady Eastern European government, no matter how much they were funded like one, wink nudge) said with a charming smile. "I must say you write a very clean code. My supervisors are pleased to accept this contract."
Her voice was lightly accented, just enough to pique Marc Jeffries' carefully cultivated interest in appearing worldly without triggering his American distrust of the foreign. They were in his little Silicon Valley startup, one of those ones with no walls and no comfortable furniture but lots of snacks. And a ping pong table.
"Pleased to hear it, very pleased," Jeffries said, beaming. "Let's just dot those Ts and cross those Is." He winked and pulled out a chair for her to sit in at the minimalist glass and steel conference table. Harry was left to pull out his own chair.
Jeffries circled round to the other side to sit and flipped open the cover on his tablet to sign the 'paperwork' that would whisk away every last bracket and comment of the MBGZ platform code and deposit it on Breanna's hard drive which, she had informed the team, she then planned to drop into the ocean.
People always seem surprised that my Mom loves attending conventions with me. This was ClexaCon in April '19.
She borrowed my Cherik shirt but made her skirt. She was all excited to attend it again the following year but that was April '20 so that didn't happen.
She very much had a thing for John Barrowman so that is one of the few photo ops I've gotten her to agree too. That was at ECCC '15.
We were both big Arrowverse fans so attended Heroes and Villains Fanfest a couple times. This was a Stranger Things photo op in '17.
This was Silicone Valley Comic Con '18. Mom borrowed my Black Widow dress and Hawkeye dogtag necklace. I was Bombshell Batwoman.
And the most recent was ECCC in Sept '23. She made my Ms Frizzle cosplay. And of course the one other photo op I got her to agree to was for Doctor Who too.
Thanks for making my 2023 the most badass year I’ve ever had since my 2019, which was the year I’ve met Arnold Schwarzenegger in person on August 18th at the San Jose convention Center during the silicon Valley comic con!!
A collection of the amazing and unique cosplayers I encountered during SiliCon with Adam Savage.
Cosplaying has always been a tradition at a convention and SiliCon with Adam Savage is no exception. Many have worked for months or a year to create their unique cosplay that will premier during the convention. Many are dedicated to bring their favorite character to life while others will work to bring a joke to life. All of us have not cosplayed in ages and are excited for this…

"You can be my forest love and me your forest lass"
Many people were dissatisfied at the ending of Game of Thrones and so was I. There's more than enough to be said there but in terms of what they did with Gendrya, my favorite GOT ship of all time, their buildup and storyline was butchered. Book Gendry never would have proposed to Arya after she killed the Night King. It'd probably be more of a Shang and Mulan moment like, "uh...ahem...you fight good."
My boyfriend and I decided to rewrite Gendrya's ending where they end up together, whether it's bon voyage or Storm's End. We added elements of Lyanna and Robert's aesthetics to illustrate that Arya and Gendry were the new Stark-Baratheon generation that did romance right. Half of the people that noticed us first thought my boyfriend was Robert Baratheon 😂 So we sometimes rolled with it and told people that we were "Fanfiction Arya and Gendry" when they asked.
This was my first cosplay at my first con and I was so excited to meet other GOT cosplayers! This was a whole new world for me and I think there will be more cons to come 😊
Okay, this time I have a really good reason for being gone so long. I JUST WENT TO THE SILICON VALLEY COMIC-CON. It was great, I was Charlie Chaplin, I entered the art contest, I bought some stuff, and I had a general fun time. I apologize for being Charlie instead of drawing for everyone. I’ll try to get myself back together. ~Drawing Entity
