Cosmo who? Its all about

💕✨Juandissimo Magnifico✨💕

Since we aren’t going to ThyGeekdom Con this year, I wanted to show one of the quickest easiest cosplays I’ve ever made.

We didn’t get to run around in it much, but they ended up being my absolute favorite.

Cant wait to wear them again, maybe when my hair is longer for a bigger pink fro cuz I dont know how to Wig very well 😅

May Mileage May Vary

Hello and welcome! This is going to be a short little update, possibly the shortest I’ve ever written. The reason? I’m writing this in an airport terminal as I await my impending flight, and doubt I’ll have time for much of anything else. So, without further ado… here’s what I did. Doorways 9 God I hope this thing loads properly. In my previous, tragically several-week-old post, I talked…

Only managed to get one day off this weekend to attend Thy Geekdom Con, so I mostly went just to do a bit of shopping. There was actually a good amount of Digimon art that I wasn't expecting but was very delighted to find!

We had a good time this weekend at Thy Geekdom Con.

The TL:DR first and then the long version under the cut as usual.

We had a great time at our con this weekend, fun panels and friendly welcoming people. Got a good amount of video games from our wishlist for pretty good prices and overall had a great first impression. I'll go into more details including personal accounts of hotel experience etc. under the cut. No trigger warnings that I know of...

Friday afternoon after I finished my tutoring online my best bro and I headed out to PA to go to Thy Geekdom Con which was being held at the same place Too Many Games is held. In reality when we got to the area our hotel was in we discovered the street we needed to go to to go to the hotel's parking lot was blocked off...

This is apparently a street that the area blocks off on the weekends every every during the early summer months (but I guess starting the last weekend in May) for increased foot traffic or something...idk but anyway because of that we had to call our hotel and the front desk lady told us where we could park and met up with us to help us carry our bags to the hotel.

I'm not sure if it's polite to say the name and I mentioned this stuff on a review of their place so I probably won't name them just in case. The hotel itself was in an older building and is classified as a 2-star hotel which under normal circumstances I wouldn't have booked but the reviews still seemed decent and I was trying not to pay a fortune for a hotel, easier said than done these days ...The building seemed cozy though. A little on the smaller side but our room was on the first floor and right near the front desk so that part was convenient.

It was nearing 7 by the time we got settled in and my blood sugar was dropping so we decided to get dinner at the hotel's restaurant. The food was good but man was the restaurant noisy AF. We were tired so ultimately we waited to get our con badges till the next day.

Saturday morning we grabbed a quick breakfast at a small cafe nearby our hotel. We loved how there were so many things in walking distance from the hotel, it made us nostalgic for Japan and Italy as well as a bid sad remembering that our town is not at all like that. We stood in line for about 10 miuntes, not too bad, other than other con-goers vaping and blowing smoke to the people behind them (i.e. us) but that's not the con's fault at all.

We got in, got our badges and it was a pretty quick process. We actually went to the dealer's room first this time. Our DBZ-dub biases clearly showed because we didn't really even care that we were going to miss the DBZ voice actor's panel (that had a few of the Funimation dub voice actors in it) because the dealer's room was too big to do in only 30 minutes. The vendos were pleasntly friendly and it was nice to see some pride artists selling merch. In Saturday and Sunday combined we got about 22 games I believe, thanks to some good deals I used to dread the dealer's room because for the longest time I was unemployed and felt too broke to buy much so it's nice to have a little bit to spend for once, my best bro and I tend to share expenses which is very different from when we were teenagers.

We also went to a good amount of panels, the first involved guessing an Anime based on a 'roast' of it or a bad description that if you didn't know these people were fans you'd say it was mean, that type of thing...My best bro ended up participating and he got the first two right but neither him nor I are current with Anime so when Demon Slayer came up he couldn't guess it...I wouldn't have been able to either but the first two were Naruto and The Devil's a part-timer so those were easy lol. I don't feel so bad though because one girl that went up couldn't guess Yugioh, we weren't sure why until at the end she actually looked at the screen and had no ides what it was even looking at it. I was shocked but hey there's always one person who doesn't know the classics.

Let's see...other panels...a very cool one about the history of Fanfiction, I've been to a few panels about fanfiction so I knew a lot of the 'history' part of her presentation but the panelist added two parts that were new so it still felt worth it's time. I knew next to nothing about Fanfic on Tiktok and the fact that some fans like to get bound copies of Fanfic. Very interesting and she takes it seriously since she did a Master's thesis on Fanfic. Those are the types of panlelists I get excited to see! It's like seeing a Youtube essay except in real life and not online!

We met a podcaster who is local to Maryland and networked with him so you may see/hear From Our Basement Gaming on his podcast one day. He's a small podcaster but I was more interested in connecting with him since he's local and I rather share a small close-knit audience that could be local rather than feeling like we don't have much interaction with a huge one. I mean both is good but...am I making any sense? Another panel we got to participate in involved my best bro playing Mario Kart without being able to see the screen and I had to navigate for him...it was surprisingly hard. We didn't win...even remotely but it was fun and I promised him we could try the opposite at home sometime.

The only panel that sucked at all was the only 18+ Panel we went to called WTF did I just watch? Which, honestly, had no business being labeled 18+ IMHO because the only nudity was censored and there was no cursing in the footage, so it felt like a PG13 panel that he labeled 18+ to be edgy. He mostly showed clips from weird Japanese commercial, a few questionable gameshows and music videos, and the Japanese versions of Silent Library and whatever the other one that takes place in a school instead of a library is called. I learned that I in fact hate the Japanese versions of those shows as much as their American ripoffs. I was never a fan of slapstick humor so the idea of hitting someone on the ass with a bamboo stick or other object when they fail to avoid laughing is not something I enjoy and I tend to consider abusive...is that why he labeled it 18+? The show in question is rated 13+ on our TVs I think...at the same time we were at this panel the DJ was right nextdoor blasting music at max volume so we left early because I wanted to rip my ears out I was in so much pain.

That's the legit only time I felt pissed off at the con, which is very good really because I've had several cons where I get micro episodes of getting pissed off so I was quite relieved. I also did better at socializing a little. I managed to get our channel three new subscribes. Also, @aisuryuu one group of vendors I told about our channel praised our avatars as being really expressive so I gave you a shoutout. Sadly, I didn't have any of your URLs to share but if I see them at the next con I'll try to have them ready just in case!

To intice them I did let the cat out of the bag so to speak about a game we're going to start in June despite not revealing that on our channel itself nor revealing it on here (at least I don't think I revealed it on here? It wasn't planned but it gave me a talking point since I'm still new to this um...selling? promoting? thing... Maybe if I practice enough doing it for our channel I'll have more confidence doing it for my voice acting too.

Let's see other than that...yeah outside of the con we had our meals which were pretty good. My best bro and I don't do junky food from the cons since most venues do cheap fast-food, that's overpriced (i.e. cheap in quality only). The hotel bed was a struggle, old spring mattress that complains every time you move. I don't take up as much space as my best bro and I felt like I barely dented the bed and was up too high so I worried if I turned wrong I might fall off the bed. Bathroom was tiny, almost as tiny as the one from my Kyoto apartment but hey at least we had a toilet and toilet paper right? So yes, overall a good experience. We are seriously talking about going to Too Many Games for maybe 2 out of the three days but we'll probably get a different hotel. I don't regret going to this hotel but the parking was enough of a hassle that we don't want to deal with that part again even though it means shelling out a little more money.

So yeah, wanted to give you the update, thanks if you read the long description and hope you enjoyed. Sorry for any typos, I really don't like proofreading my rambles, rants unless I'm trying to talk about serious stuff so...thanks for your understanding.
