YEAR 3 BABYYYYYY!!!!!!
The Fic List is going back to Awesome Con DC!! We'll be hosting our second OTP or NOTP: A Tournament of Cosplay Pairings!
Cosplayers of all levels and fandoms are welcome and encouraged to drop in, show off, and square up in random pairings to determine the ultimate OTP. Participation in the tournament will be on a first-come, first-served basis, so come by early to ensure your spot! During the event, we will randomly pair cosplayers together, and the audience will vote for the pairings they ship (OTPs). Silliness may ensue. We're voting on the character pairing - not the quality of your cosplay - and the goal is to have fun and generally celebrate fandom and shipping culture.
Join us Friday, June 16 at 5:00 PM in Room 202! And don't forget to purchase your Awesome Con badges here!

Im going to awesomecon next month and wearing a pride twi lek. I have an over abundance of these grogus that people have given me because "i like star wars" and of course i do but i have a LOT of this little guy🤣
So anyway i decided to customize one to have with me at the con. It was so much fun to paint and assemble and he has so many little details that i just love. I cant wait to get some pictures of me and him together. This is the most out of the closet I will ever be but awesomecon has been an amazing safe space for me the last few years helping with the pride squadron panel so this just felt right.

Kupo Con: Pom2, London, 15th & 16th September 2023
Where do I even begin! What a weekend!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Long story under the cut, because I need to tell you everything 😆
Starting off on Friday the 15th, we drove down to our hotel in Watford, which allowed us to get a train into London for Pre-Reg, which was available for Patreons of KupoCon, to get our tickets.
A lot of people were there and I probably knew half of them, or more, from the Discord Server but I was too nervous and shy to go over and say hello. Until I saw the only one I’d met previously, I went over and said hello! She then introduced me to one of the other people there, the cosplayer who won the “People’s Choice” Cosplay award last Kupo and who has been incredibly supportive of me every time I’ve shared progress on Discord and our meeting went like this… (using initials for privacy ☺️)
L: “Hey R this is P, from the discord!”
R: “Are you Blossom!?”
P: “Yes!”
R gives me a big hug
I spent a while talking with him and I think we became fast friends, I felt like I’d known him for ages! (Technically kind of had, because we’ve been talking in the discord) and I was really nervous but he was so lovely and made it so easy to talk to him!
Then, because of train times, we had to leave, but I’d met several of the other cosplayers (mainly Clives… no joke! I met 3 all at the same time!) and I was absolutely buzzing for the main event!
Saturday the 16th, the main event! Me and my mum got to the venue just as the doors opened, within 10mins I was in an elevator with a Noctis cosplayer, who jokingly asked if they’d survive this elevator ride! 😆 I then had a Sephiroth comment on my cosplay as I walked past
I met up with R because I knew how excited he was to see my cosplay, we had another hug (as much as we both could manage anyway; I was in a tight black coat and he was in full Clive cosplay) and he went off to support his friend who was dressed as FFXs Ifrit!
While waiting for the Opening Ceremony to start, I got given my first Masquerade Token! I was beside myself with excitement! I couldn’t believe it!
The Opening Ceremony was so fun! I met a friend who I’ve known online since December, which was amazing!
And then the Cosplay Parade happened! John Bentley (Barret FFVIIR) and Liam Mulvey (Libertus FFXV Kingsglaive) were presenting it, they were both so enthusiastic about it! I was really nervous because I was stepping up onto a stage in front of a lot of people, but I did it, and Liam’s reaction was priceless!
Then we went on our way, wandering the stalls and doing quests. Every time I passed R and his group, he checked in with me, to make sure I was ok and having a good time, which I really appreciated as it was my first Kupo and Cosplay.
Then I joined the queue to meet Liam… I said hello and gave him a print of a commission I’d had done earlier in the year and then he signed my own copy of the print… and then he gave me a Masquerade Token and I was lost for words! Because I didn’t realise the guests would also have tokens!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Riding that high, I decided to join the queue to meet John. And WOW! That man is amazing! He’s so lovely and excited and genuinely loves the community! Once he’d signed my print we went to get a picture, and he complimented me on my cosplay, when I said it was my first one, he was amazed! So he told his wife (who was holding my phone to take the picture for me) to video a message, which is of him saying how awesome my cosplay was, then he gave me another Token! I couldn’t believe it! I excitedly told R what had happened and he said how amazing that was too!
By the end of the day and the start of the Closing Ceremony I had been given 9 Tokens! I had been saying in the Discord Server that 1 or 2 would be amazing! But I got 9!!!
I stayed with R for the Closing Ceremony, chatting and laughing, someone he knew from a past event complimented me on my cosplay, which R instantly agreed with, he was so supportive of everything and I will always be grateful for that
Both the “People’s Choice” and “Staff Choice” award was won by a cosplayer who made, and was operating, Hell House from FFVII which was a much deserved win.
It was at the end of the Closing Ceremony that I got a selfie with Ben, I’d spoke to him briefly earlier, after his panel, saying that I was hoping to get into the queue to meet him properly, to which he replied “Ok, Ardyn!”
Tumblr media
But looking at the line to meet him I knew I would miss the opportunity, so as he returned to finish off the signings that were waiting for him I asked if I could grab a selfie, and he said yes, as he ran off to his table he said how good my cosplay was too.
I went over to Liam and John to thank them once again for the Tokens they gave me, and how much they meant to me, they both responded with similar things; that it was deserved!
Feeling the lump in my throat from the emotions those compliments caused, I went over and said goodbye to R, knowing I’d likely not see him again face to face until February for the Birmingham KupoCon, I managed to keep it together until I got back to my mum, I started crying shortly after!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Please! If anyone has read this far who is a Final Fantasy fan I couldn’t recommend Kupo more! It was amazing! I’ve never felt so welcomed and included at a convention before and everyone I met was lovely and supportive
Next stop for me is Birmingham in February, until then… “Walk Tall, My Friends”

My NYCC 2023 cosplay! I've been wanting to make Link's Glide Suit since the game came out, and sure, it was horribly complicated to make, but I had fun. Also featuring this awesome Rauru cosplayer I found who goes by Mochiany on youtube and tiktok.
Some process photos under the cut

Wearing a backpack would have interfered with the wings, so I made a detachable backpack that clipped to my shoulders. The cowl also pulled up into a facemask.
I just barely finished making this whole thing because of a series of setbacks. I was still painting it the day before I left for the con.

Nordic Cosplay Championships 2023, Närcon, Sweden Finnish reps: Faroni as Queen Ravenna & Reta as Sawamura Haruka Also with us: Vivilan, Nani, Sysi, Niancelot, Anae and Maucival
I'm slowly recovering from the NCC finals and whoa, what a trip!! I'm not gonna lie, I was lowkey stressed almost the whole time, but in the end I'm glad I was there. It helped a lot that I had such nice people around. The Finnish team members were awesome to travel and hang out with! Also big big thanks to my friends who I couldn't spend much time with during the con, but who still traveled all the way there to cheer me on and showered me with love after the show 💖
I knew I was not going to reach the top with my costume (not because it's not well-made, but because it's more on the simpler side and there were so many amazing costumes) but I'm content with it anyway. My skit is really my love letter to Yakuza games, so I put my heart into performing it again. I'm glad many people were moved by it.
We were in a really good company – amazing cosplays and performances all around! And I'm so so so proud of my fellow countryman Faroni for taking home the trophy!!! He's such a skilled costume maker and performer plus an absolute sweetheart. I'm really over the moon for getting experience this. TORILLEEEEE 👑

While this is a US-only holiday I just wanna thank the submas fandom for all you guys have done for me.
You've helped me feel more like myself than I really can EVER remember feeling, because you've helped me with my self-image. Yes I know it's cosplay and not exactly the same, but it's helped me immeasurably.
Ive never quite been in a fandom that appreciates new artists, artists without honed skills, and writers as much as you all. For real I felt welcomed from day one. You all comment and reblog and tag things and it's just. Such a nice place to be.
Ive made countless friends and reconnected with some old ones on Tumblr, Twitter, and Discord. I actually found an awesome community on twitter, something that felt out of reach before! I found my love of writing again and had some of the best days of my life at cons.
Thank you all for making my 2022 a genuinely good year. I'll never be able to fully articulate what everything has meant to me, but I hope you all can understand what I'm trying to say.
I hope to keep seeing you all around, happy holidays of all sorts, and all aboard for 2023!!
