As always, I'll be here, mainly to check notes. Seeya in September!

Me and TharaCorleone and friends went into Manchester today for the Expo! I was Derpy, Miho was Applejack. It was very bronified compared to last year where there were zero MLP-related cosplays or merch. Hell, there were even entire stands selling MLP gear! We saw the entire mane six cosplayed plus Pon3, Big Mac and Derpy (and brony!Alex from Clockwork Orange!)

Everyone loved our cosplays (even though I threw mine together in a week :rolleyes: ) We got lots of (free) hugs and photos taken. I even got fanart given to me at the Promarker drawing stand! Miho got into this new Japanese card game called Vanguard, which is sorta a YGO type but apparently much simpler. They gave out samplers of the anime and manga at the booth as well as posters.

We went looking for pony plushies after seeing a guy with a Pinkie, only to be told they'd sold out I also saw a guy wearing a Waluigi baseball cap, but we couldn't find it on any of the stalls

So... here be a list of my swag (pics to follow):

Fluttershy shirt
Totoro plushie
Ryuk bag (£15. I handed a £20 over to the cashier and she gave me £10 back!)
Brony badges (which now live on the bag)
Other small badges including Rainbow Dash and Waluigi
Rainbow Dash necklace
Vanguard samplers and poster

Here's a list of notable cosplays:

Zekrom at the Nintendo booth
Matt (who I cosplayed last year)
Megaman (with removable head)
a little kid in a Naruto costume (child abuse)
Rubiks cube
Quite possibly the worst cosplay ever- it was a girl in a navy school uniform with a crudely-drawn uncoloured Ouran Academy logo pinned to it.


It was a helluva lot better than last time, plus even bigger!

I really am. First I miss Llama-lady's birthday, then I miss TharaCorleone's I'm soooo sorry guys, I'm finishing a cosplay ATM as well, so dA gifts will be sometime next week.

Actually, I'm meeting TharaCorleone on Saturday! Expo time again! That's what I'm making the cosplay for. It'll be a pony who was stripped of all her awkward charm due to the PC brigade and given away as a gift at SDCC this year...

...!

I finally got my wings off eBay today, gonna buy my blonde wig and headband to stick my pony ears on tomorrow. NO I AM NOT DOING A FURSUIT. I'm going as an anthro. I couldn't walk round in summer weather in a farking fursuit all day, plus if I did make a fursuit it'd look crap. Not to mention fursuits have never been my thing.

I got gifts for Miho-chan though~ gonna be fun! Look for the large Derpy cosplayer in the glasses

...with a First, nontheless

(A First is the highest qualification in British universities )

I apologise for the lack of art, but it's summer and hot and there's been stuff going on, y'know. Plus I got a cosplay to do. I promise, I will draw more!
