Samus from Metroid at AwesomeCon.

people cosplaying on public transit are the backbone of our society and i am SO serious. there is no greater omen of good fortune than seeing hatsune miku on the bus.

Hehehe.

(Shoutout to @/sonyayori on twit, the other Betty I found!)

If you're coming to Awesome Con DC this weekend, come to one of our panels; our schedule is below the cut! I promise not to be so serious 😂 I'm just feelin' grateful, is all!

Friday, March 8

Um, Actually...(Fandom Trivia with The Fic List) 4:00-4:45 PM Room 207A Um, actually... are you sure you know your fandom history? Based on the hit game show from DROPOUT, join the creators of The Fic List podcast (a fan-fiction book club podcast you should definitely be listening to) in this fast-paced, hilariously pedantic test of fandom facts, figures, and tropes. Reign victorious and be rewarded with the greatest prize of all - being right!

Into the Omegaverse: A Long, Hard Look at Smutty Fan-Fiction 7:30-8:15 PM Room 206 From slash to the citrus scale to A/B/O, fan-fiction boldly goes where traditional literature, film, and television often does not (does knot? We digress...). In this 18+ panel, join the team behind The Fic List podcast to explore and celebrate fan-fiction sub-cultures in all their queer, kinky, unhinged glory. This panel is rated E for Explicit.

Saturday, March 9

OTP or NOTP: A Tournament of Cosplay Pairings 3:15-4:00 PM Room 207A Blackbeard/The Joker? Jawa/Princess Peach? Vegeta/Bob the Tomato?!? Join The Fic List (a fan-fiction book club podcast you should definitely be listening to) for this low-stakes, highly silly Tournament of Pairings. Do we ship it? It’s up to the audience! 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.

Me as Ghostface at Awesome Con

Come see me at AwesomeCon!!! My panel is Friday. Saturday and Sunday most likely find me somewhere near Destination Cosplay or Pride Alley. Also on my panel will be my 2 lovelies D'Manda Martini and Loganstoneofficial

Program Title: Presenting Female While Cosplaying

Program Description: Presenting female in cosplay can present a whole host of challenges in mainstream and queer spaces alike. From being ignored/talked over on panels, unwanted comments about bodies/beauty, and straight up harassment. How to advocate for yourself and make sure your voice is heard. How to demand respect and take up space.

Date: Friday, March 8

Tme End: 7:45 PM
