Anime North 2010 Con Report.
Thursday:
Thursday morning I went into Belleville and spent the day with Nekoyasha23 as we hung out, had some lols, and I re-organized and tried to have fewer bags to take to AN. I was only able to empty one bag into my big duffle suitcase. Which was okay, since the duffle suitcase was huge!
xx-Clouds-Over-Luna arrived around 5 or so with her stuff, like a sewing machine that's about 50 years old. She still had some sewing to finish.
Around dinner we went to the mall in partial cosplay. Nekoyasha wore her Org. coat and a bunny hat, Luna wore my Org coat and a bunny hat, while I wore my Rider wig and arm guards. We ran into a friend and had some random lols xD
Nekoyasha and I actually made Luna go to bed, which was at about 3am. She was so exhausted she was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Nekoyasha and I though were up until 6, unable to sleep, but we did get to sleep at 6, and woke up around 10am.
Friday:
Hectic morning was hectic. Since xx-Clouds-Over-Luna had forgotten some stuff at home, a friend of Nekoyasha23's dad drove them over to Luna's apartment to get them, while I stayed at Nekoyasha's and dressed into my Nougami Neuro cosplay. Binding and all. Just didn't put my suit jacket on. I would have died wearing it all day.
It took us about 15-20 minutes to get our stuff loaded up into Nekoyasha's dad's truck. The lance for my boyfriend, our bags, wigs, etc. Had to stop at the CIBC bank for Luna to take out money for the hotel/bus/gas.
We were picked up around 2, and got to Trenton and dropped off Alexis-Rider and NoahWolfrin at Alexis and Dave's mom's so that they could visit her for the weekend. We weren't there for long. But me, Nekoyasha, Luna, and Jessica were all together, the four Anglos apart from everyone else. We arrived at the con around 5 or so.
I met up with 12Dee3 and Jaga at the door, and it was so great! We ended up waiting forever for our hotel rooms. 12Dee3 was staying at another hotel with her parents. That took about half an hour. Between waiting for hotel room I encountered NeferCosplay, Thornrose, and erisaniru. I was happy. But I didn't get to have pictures with the other Neuro. So I'm kinda sad about that.
After getting all my stuff up to the hotel room, my nails broke so 12Dee3 became my esthetician for a little while and clipped them xD Yeah, Neuro doesn't know how to use nail clippers, so Godai clipped the nails xD After that, we headed out and I got my pass.
While out ran into angelbeauty999, my friend Stacey, and various others. One person recognized me as MDA from Cosplay.com. And a lot of people actually recognized 12Dee3 and I as Neuro and Godai. We went and had professional shots taken of us. And had our own private photoshoot with my boyfriend and we got some cool pics. Now to just get them from him.
I wasn't too happy about Vincent being in the hotel room till 2am though 'cause I was sore and tired. And my binding was restricting my breathing. I finally talked to Dave about it and he got him to leave. 'Cause if I'd talked to him I would have said "Get the fuck out", but I didn't wanna be rude.
Saturday:
Started the day early. Woke up at 8 and had a shower with Dave before putting our cosplays on. Dave LOVED his lance that my mom made for him. I was proud of him for having made his Lancer cosplay all by himself ^^ It took us a while to get prepared, and I had to fix my boots before I wore them out.
I spent most of the day apart from Dave as we split at breakfast because I didn't want to eat, and I'd feel awkward sitting there while he ate. I wasn't too pleased that the two friends he was with kinda kept him from meeting up with me until the photoshoot.
Fate/stay night photoshoot
12Dee3 became my mouthpiece for the shoot to announce that it was starting (which was around 3:20). Vincent announced what would be good pictures, though I did suggest Lancer vs Archer. Because that would be so wicked cool. A lot of pictures were taken ^^
Though I was rather annoyed that another Fate/stay night photoshoot had been organized for the same time and building, but upstairs of the Double Tree. I was not pleased, and I'm still not pleased about it. The shoot I was hosting had been organized since February.
After the shoot
We went and had some more fun. At about 5:00 12Dee3 and I started heading back to the hotel to rest, and wait for people to show so that we could order the pizza. At 5:30 Dave showed up, and we waited a while for others to show. We decided on the toppings and Jaga ordered the pizza at 7. Got to the hotel at 7:45. 12Dee3 and I were so well rested after our staying in the hotel for hours. There was a lot of randomness.
I actually lifted up Dee bridal style and carried her across the hotel room to show Nekoyasha23 just how light she was. It was kind of amusing.
After Dee left though I headed out again until about 2am, walking around in Ellexbriga, wearing my Org. coat. I won't go into the drama that happened while we tried to get back into the hotel room.
Sunday:
Encountered some difficulties with getting stuff to the bus. Nekoyasha23 ended up carrying my duffle suitcase downstairs as it was too heavy. Good thing we were only on the fifth floor. I sadly almost forgot my suit for Neuro.
I'm not going to describe all the insanity that happened. Sunday was just too stressful.

Nougami Neuro & Godai Shinobu from Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
Rider & Lancer from Fate/stay night

Long Time
It's been a long while since I signed in and posted. I don't know if I'll ever make a full return to deviantart, but I'll try to post at least one photo of every costume here. I've been far more active on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook the past year. It seems crazy to think that a year ago I was preparing for Costume Con in Montreal, and then it was cancelled while I was on my way there. Which sucked. Since then I've finished a few costumes and started others. I've been slowly working away at Lucifer Magne from Hazbin Hotel and Princess Hilda from Final Fantasy II. In addition to working on Lucifer and Hilda, I've also started Valentino and Vox also from Hazbin Hotel, and planning a new Yoko cosplay and to start Demise (Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword) later this year. I started to spend a lot of time on TikTok, which I have been spending a lot of time dedicated to. I've had a lot of fun with it and done quite well.
Richard Sharpe - Sharpe's Rifles Help
So I'm making my very first historical costume, and with only buying 3 fabrics, 3 spools of thread, and a pattern for it, the costume is proving that it is going to be quite expensive.
So I'm asking if people here are willing to buy me a coffee over on ko-fi to help fund this piece of insanity.

Otakuthon in 1 Month... I don't know what I'm doin
Normally, I have everything figured out way ahead so that I don't have any guess work when it comes time to prepare for a convention. This year for Otakuthon is proving to be very different for that. For the first time in a number of years for Otakuthon, I don't know what all I'm going to wear.
The only thing that I know for sure is that I will be making Sailor Mercury (part bought/part made) to wear, and I'm not sure what day yet - maybe Sunday.
I want to bring Pyramid Head, but this is going to be really dependent on space in my van, as I'll have 7 people and all of their luggage. So this is going to be difficult if I bring him because of
Upcoming Cons and Cosplays

Aww that sucks about the fate/stay night shoot, I wish I had known i just followed characters i recognized and ended up upstairs
It was very strange though since no one was really directing us, one girl just jumped in then to lead. So I don't think it was exactly organized, I think we just became separated from yours.
Love to see your pics. And awesome loot!
