[petergender]

finally rested up from the nonstop con run, so here’s my pictures!!!

con highlights:

-guy on the street serenaded me with the spiderman theme on his ukulele in Chinatown (a real tobey maguire throwback)

-tiny captain phasma (girl was INTO IT, she was like 4 but Mighty and Terrifying)

-SO many little kids just staring up into my face like :0 and then whispering (or yelling) “hi spiderman” 

-one dad of those little boys asked me where I got my costume (he actually approached me while I was sitting down and I was rlly happy abt it bc ppl don’t usually do that!!!), and true to peter parker I got to say “I made it myself!!!” so ty random dad for validating me, and I hope ur little guy gets his costume made for next yr!!!

-one kid looked me in the eye, deadly serious, and flipped me the spidey sign and I honestly dont know if it was a threat or a gesture of solidarity. Kudos, kid, I’m very scared of you.

-I saw a kid dressed up as miles morales and I gotta be honest I was rlly hoping he or his dad would ask to take a pic w me bc his costume was Spot On, but I didn’t wanna ask kids for pictures in case they were shy

-one little boy had the plastic mask and silly string webshooters and his dad lifted him up so he could see me and he waved v slowly cause he was lookin at a Full Size Spidey and it was rlly wholesome that dad was So Pumped to see me.

-one kid just fuckin LOST IT when he saw me, like straight up staring at me In Awe, and I’m ngl, that really made my Whole Life, I felt like I rlly was spiderman

-EVERY Deadpool I ran into was nothing but cool and respectful, and I was honestly a little nervous going in, so thanks to all of you who managed to stay in character and not cross the line cause u did a Stellar Job 

-there was this one Thor and he was there all three days I was and I stg he always had a little plastic beer cup in his hand and I saw him drinking it but it was always full???? 

-I yelled “mr. stark!!!!” Every Time I saw an iron man cosplay to get their attention for a picture (I hope they were amused, I rlly tried)

-spEAKING OF IRON MAN that first guys costume was the Coolest Shit I Have Ever Seen In My Life, his mask flipped up like on command??? mr stark??? hook me up blease??!!

-I had the Actual Backpack and no one commented on it but it made my whole experience 2000 times better

-got to ride public transit in a full spiderman costume???? wow 11/10 experience 

-saw a J Jonah Jamesson and when he saw me he just yelled “MENACE!!!!”

-a guy dressed as green goblin saw me and said (in the low scary voice and eveyrthing) ““really??? you know no one like spiderman!” and I was cackling

-got to see the lotr panel???? so wild

-also the last quarter of the justice league panel, Ezra miller and ray fisher are both Delights

-flipped off some protestors from the west boro Baptist church (only after they verbally attacked my family personally, which was super gross and I hope they fall off the Ben Franklin bridge!!!) but it was rlly a freeing experience flipping them off in full spidey costume 

-A LIVE BAND PLAYING THE GOTG SOUNDTRACK WHEN WE WALKED IN ON FRIDAY????

-and oh my god the parade-like line on Saturday, that was amazing

-a dumbish thing, but no one looked at me and said “:0 spidergirl!!!” Like everyone called me spider m a n, they rlly knew I was tryna b peter parker and it felt good ngl

-this one girl filming on the balcony above the escalator (I genuinely didn’t notice she was waving at me for a long time but it made my Entire Day when I realized she was???? @mystery girl where r u hmu w that vid) was So Happy to see me??? wow. 

-oh and every now and then??? ppl just Snappin Pics. Not even asking to take a picture w me, just takin em, I Love It I hope I get to see some of them online sometime 

-oh and I Love when I was an absolute moron and ppl had to ask me like 4 separate times for a picture bc I had No peripheral vision and two layers of fabric over my ears (every time I told my family to wait up they just said “lol use ur spidey senses” and Id be more mad if it wasn’t so funny)

-wildly, i was actually one of the Only girls I saw dressed up as spiderman, and it kinda made me feel good for no reason??? Especially since no one treated me differently than the boys dressed up as spidey idk. (that being said, every girl I saw dressed up as spidey added 10 yrs to my lifespan)

-saw a star Lord carrying a sign that just said “sorry guys”, and the other side said “justice for Gamora” and I’m fuckin dhdndns

-every friend group dressed as the guardians really made my Whole Day

-group of four guys dressed up as the anchormen, all walking in formation. I tried to get a picture w them but I stg they just fucking disappeared after passing behind a pillar and I never saw them again

-I probably actually seemed a lot like peter parker to everyone because I just started jumping up and down and gasping every time I saw a Single Avenger, I was really just losing my fucking mind

-dressing up as your favorite superhero really does improve ur quality of life

-not a highlight but For Real If u dress up as spiderman I’m begging you to drink water and take off the damn mask when you can bc holy shit I went home after each day and just Died Immediately, please take care of urself lol

-if you recognize me and have pic PLEASE tag me in them, I’m a hoe and love seeing myself lmao (and if you see yourself, hmu and I’ll tag you in the post if you want!!!)

Wizard Con Chicago

Are any of my Tumblr friends going to Wizard Con in Chicago Aug 25-27?  I’m going to be there to see our beloved David Tennant and would love to meet some of you.  I have never been to a comic con before and would love to make some new friends before I get there.

Reflections on WizCon and why “It’s better to not be cast than to be cast and ruin someone’s favorite character.”

This past weekend, I attended the Wizard World Con with my 11-year old daughter and her best friend. The girls have a favorite anime show called “My Hero Academia,” and they wanted to dress up in cosplay anime costumes and get photos/autographs with/from the voice actors from the show and attend their Q&A session. When I was registering, I saw CB was going to be there as well. Her photo/autograph packages ranged from $650+ to $850, with no lower-priced a la carte options (not that I had any interest in an autograph from CB, but that seems like highway robbery to me. But I have never attended a con before so I don’t know if that’s typical or not).

Apparently, and IMO likely due to the decline in quality/interest in OL as well as interest in CB, she apparently sold so few of these pricey packages for Saturday that a few days before the show, she added an option for general attendees to purchase an autograph from her for $100 each. 

As my girls and I were strolling through the expo hall looking at all the great anime art booths on Saturday, we noticed a lineup of about 100 people and walked past to see who they were in line for ... lo and behold, it was CB. My girls and I were in one of the crowded general expo aisle walkways, and the only thing separating CB’s autograph area from the busy walkway was a stanchion and rope (she was not in a private area). Because my daughter had been freely taking photos throughout the day with her camera phone, she stopped and took the pic above of CB just as she was sitting down (it even appears to me that CB was looking at my daughter, which is understandable because my tiny 11-year old looked so darn cute in her anime costume!). But as soon as she took the picture (and there were others in the aisle behind us doing the same), a staffer from the autograph area immediately ran over, scolded my daughter, and told us that we were not allowed to take any pictures unless we paid to have one taken with CB! My daughter immediately became distressed because she thought CB’s minders were going to come after her and take her phone away! I assured her that she was fine and we moved away from that section of the aisle post-haste! 

It’s pretty sad to me that the greed of some of the talent at these shows is apparently so great that a child walking down a busy public aisle at a show can’t stop to take a candid pic of a celebrity guest. We were able to do that with many others, including my husband’s favorite actor, Wallace Shawn, from the “Princess Bride,” and Wallace smiled and waved to us from a distance. We were even told by event staff on Friday night that if any of the guest celebrities weren’t signing autographs in the autograph area, we were allowed to go up and briefly say hello (the show staffer actually said, “shake their hand,” but in our current coronavirus environment, I told the girls that was a hard “no”).

Anyway, my favorable opinion of CB has been declining quite steadily since 2016, due to the IFH (which SH has said was CB’s idea), the constant gaslighting, “horny granny” comments, CB’s continual mockery of SH (”My Jamie would be a stud!”), and shoving a nobody civilian “music producer” in our faces by making a “private” non-show-related relationship part of OL promo (even though she won’t even say the name of the “husband” she likes to talk about so much, as if we care). But I’ve become most disillusioned by the way CB/OL writers have taken one of my favorite book characters -- Claire Fraser -- and completely diminished that character by making her a shrewish shadow of herself, and the way they’ve completely abandoned the central JC love story that is the focal point of the entire book series.

I found it ironic that a voice actor from my daughter’s favorite show, “My Hero Academia,” pretty much summed up my feelings toward CB. At a Q&A session on Saturday, the voice actor and theater actor Aaron Roberts was talking about why he has turned down some acting jobs in his career. He said would not audition for a role if he didn’t feel he could do justice to the character and this was his comment that struck me as so relevant to CB’s/the writers’ destruction of book Claire: 

“It’s better to not be cast than to be cast and ruin someone’s favorite character.”  

That, to me, says everything about my current mood toward CB and OL and why I haven’t watched it since midway through S3. So why am I still here? I’m here because of the many wonderful, entertaining, talented, and insightful women whose blogs I follow. And curiosity as to how and when this gaslighting train wreck will derail.

Into the blind world they call WizCon he has descended, armed only with a bag of sweets and a garden rock, and a trusty frog by his side.

If you can identify the cosplayer and email me, that would be much appreciated.
