J.A.F.A.X that is. All wrapped up and done for another year. Pictures coming soon, with more to come (hopefully!) from the cameras from my friends. I'm also borrowing my dad's super duper nice camera next year since I had forgotten which camera was the bad one from last year and...long story short, not the best and I even lost some because they didn't even show up!
Okay! So my 2 friends, my sister, my dad and I got there and I had a tiny fan girl moment when I saw a Len Kagamine cosplayer. Took a photo (which was one of the ones that DIDN'T show up) and actually went inside the building! It seemed less...crowded compared to the other years. Lots of Homestuck, especially of...Dave. I think his name is Dave? Dave's the one with the black sunglasses, shirt with red sleeves and blonde, right? I'll probably be yelled at later about this. The year this theme was gaming, including table top games like Magic: The Gathering and the such but we didn't sit and watch those. I have no idea how to do any other RP-based table top game other than a system of D&D my folks are making, so just sitting and watching would be less fun. Speaking of games, apparently the original theme for "Ben 10" is a DDR song, go fig.
I also saw RokuAku-senpai again~! I thought I had missed her and kept missing her, but just as I was about to give up hope we crossed paths! She was Roxas from Kingdom Hearts II (and Dream Drop Distance) in the Organization XIII cloak. I got a picture with her, but it was ALSO one of the pictures that suffered and didn't come out right. I GOT TO HOLD HER KINGDOM KEY KEYBLADE THOUGH. If you're reading this senpai, I'm sorry if my squeeing hurt your ears!
Oh anime con shopping, you make Renaissance Faires look like thrift stores. I should know, I've been to Faires longer! I actually mamaged to get pocky this year though, so I'm happy with that. I also got myself a brand new wallet - still keeping with the Zelda theme! It's some an inaccuracy though, since Link's picture is where the Triforce of Power is located (top) while Ganondorf is where the Triforce of Courage is (right). It also used Super Smash Brothers Brawl artwork for all 3 of them (oh yes, I can tell) and has the Triforce on the back with the Hyrulian Crest wings and the Sage Medallion marks on the back. It's also bigger than my previous ones, so putting cash in shouldn't be as awkward anymore, woo!
THEY. HAD. KAMEN RIDER GAIM AND WIZARD IN HIS FIRE DRAGON FORM. I know only a select few will understand why I'd geek over that, BUT THEY WERE GLORIOUS, BUT I COULDN'T BUY THEM!!!!! Also, crying over expensive Zelda items = hugs from sympathetic cosplayers. I was geeking/freaking/kinda crying over this Zelda box set (which was in a box that actually looked like a chest in the games!) that was $112 (AND THAT'S REDUCED PRICE) and I got hugged by some people as they geeked/freaked with me.
And to finish the day, I went to a panel about making...KIMONOS! They are a lot more complex than one realizes in the creation department, so any rules and multiplying by numbers to make it the right size. Fun fact: the outfits the shinigami in Bleach are incorrect for the guys, their sleeve designs are actually meant for girls. So all the male characters who reap souls are actually cross-dressing, have fun ever trying to see the series the same way again!
And that was my day. I'M SO TIRED.

I'm Not Dead Maybe and J.A.F.A.X Pics Inside
So, uh...hi to all 12-15 of you who actually notice and say things to me. I'm not mad at you I'm just very dead on the inside.
Anyway HERE'S THE NEW ABOUT JAFAX 2018!!!! I'd usually upload pictures but, uh...I went a little nutty this year and took...113. Yeah so I'm just gonna put them into my Sta.sh and y'all can take a look at them that way.
This is the one time of year where waking up before 9 AM makes me wish I was somewhere else. Artist's Alleyway was a bit late I think? I could've sworn it was at 10 instead of 10:30...but yeah I killed time by playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I brought my sister's along this year as well so she coul

PURRLI
Like cats? Like cat purrs? Have a snarky cat that will only purr when they want to? Or maybe just want happy cat noises? Or can't get one because of things like allergies or strict parents? Then Purrli's for you!
[Just click me!]
Ah, seriously, this is just great...
Now you too can get all the health benefits of cat purrs! "Wait, Gin, there's health benefits to cat purrs?" Why yes, doth thou thinkith I would leadith thee astray with suchith a claim...ith? "Well, you ARE the crazy cat lady in my life, so you'd put cats in a positive light no matter what." ...Got me there, hypothetical conversation. But I promise you, on my honor as a magica
JAFAX 2017
This year, I was not late! :D I was a lil' late to opening last year, just like a proper shounen protagonist. I actually managed to be second in line, as far as I know.
Anyway! Spent at least an hour just exploring, since the vendor's hall wouldn't be open for at least an hour. Things were arranged in a more orderly manner than they were last year. I even got an actual badge this time instead of a tiny piece of paper to put on my wrist like last year! So I hit up the game room to pass the time. The first game (which I didn't get a picture of) was VERY LOUD. LIKE, REALLY LOUD. It was one sort of "hit the buttons to the rhythm and you win" gam
