Convention photos backlog!

🔆Otakon 2023 was such a good time! This convention I didn't have my usual friends to walk around with, but I still found Twst fans to hang out with. I was completely caught off-guard by the entirety of DC becoming cashless, though. It makes sense, I just wish there was more of a warning! I'll always want to come back to this convention. I've become so recognizable as Idia Shroud that by now people are telling me that they've seen me before! 😆Aniplex, please notice me!!

Please tag yourselves! I'm not sure if I have everyone's tumblrs and I will notice the replies to edit this post later! Thank you!

And then, just to show how much I loved being back in DC, I deliberately and intentionally stood still on the left side of the escalator.

I find it hilarious when people assume that autistic people have no empathy at all. Like, buddy, friend, pal, I literally looked up gluten-free places in Washington DC back when I last visited in December 2019 so that my parents could have places to eat at, and will do it again if I go abroad.

#skellyace rambles #actually autistic #we do have empathy we just show it differently #I still remember the little gluten free bakery my mom and I went to #it was smol and only had two tables #but my mom and I enjoyed the food there and got some cookies for my dad and bro #I wanna go to DC again #it's been 5 years #maybe when Otakon happens I'll visit and maybe volunteer as staff if I can

I am staying at The Henley Park Hotel this weekend for Otakon 2022! It is soon beautiful! I had Afternoon Tea, and unlimited mimosas after check in! The waiter was wonderful.

So exited. It's been years since I went to Anime USA the first convention I was able to go to! The staff are so pleasant and friendly and helpful. I really want to do this again, already, and it's just the first evening.

There seems to be a Burlesque event tomorrow evening at the convention, and I am dying to see what else they have planned.

Otakon 2023: Day 3 (Sun)

Sunday got off to a slow start for us. We began with the Otamuseum, since @lechevaliermalfet was curious to see what they had on display from the other years he's attended the con.

We then parted ways to attend separate panels. I went to the Isekai Like It's 1999 panel. It wasn't a bad panel, though the title wasn't wholly accurate. I did learn about some shows I decided I might check out. And I left with some panel ideas of my own, which made @lechevaliermalfet happy when he heard about it. He's been encouraging me to consider doing panels for years now. I still don't know if I will, but I definitely got the idea for a few research rabbit holes to dive into as a result of attending this one.

After the panel, we met up and some general wandering around and soaking up con vibes occurred, before again heading to separate panels. I went to the Dubbing Around the World panel, which featured voice actors from the UK, Latin America, and Japan. The moderator was involved in the voice acting scene in the US.

It was a Q&A panel, and even though some of the questions were very typical ("How do you rehearse for a role?" "Do you have a good working relationship with your fellow dubbers?" "What's your favorite line you've ever dubbed?"), the answers were so widely different, it was great.

I always understood intellectually that there were likely different practices between different countries. But actually hearing it broken down in comparisons of rehearsal and prep time, booking time frames, group vs solo recordings...that was very illuminating. This is honestly a panel I would love to see repeated through the years, at any con that can afford to do so.

After the panel, it was time for lunch and the final rounds of Arist Alley. We always buy a ton of prints -this year was no exception. Especially after I found an artist who did FMA artwork based around Nina & Alexander memes. What can I say? I'm a sucker for them.

After our final shopping rounds and some last-minute pictures of cosplayers, we said goodbye to Otakon.

And while I didn't screenshot it, DC traffic moved slowly enough that I actually completed the Pokemon Go Community Day tasks during our drive out of the city.

All in all, I did enjoy my time at Otakon. But I don't think it's a con that @lechevaliermalfet and I will be adding to our annual roster. And not just for the expense and additional travel time. There's something about the overall feel of the con as well.

While we appreciated the differences in panel focus, artist alley, and vendor selection compared to ACen, I think we just both still feel that we really only have 1 large con in us per year. And ACen feels more like home to us, in that sense. So Otakon is one that we may do every 5 years or so, just to liven things up.
