This was my first con with both of my sisters and honestly I couldn’t have picked a better one to share with them. Skimmons hugs for days!!! <3 I snapped that one of Chloe & Lil while we were waiting for the train. It was just too precious. (Chloe & I staged ours because, ya know, Skimmons.)

Iain and Elizabeth were just so so lovely with all of us and I’m so happy we all got to attend this year. Liz and I talked about my outfits and she marveled at how I could afford some of the items. She complained that she always tweets things like “Thanks @ Theory for such a lovely jumper for Simmons!” hoping that she’d get some kind of discount or for them to send her things. “And. Nothing.” I told her eBay was my best friend. She said, “I’m definitely going to have to get on that!” I love that last picture of her and Lily. Lil & Lil making the same face = priceless.

Iain just couldn’t get over our cosplays and he was really impressed with my boyfriend’s LMD!Fitz. (Their interactions were freaking me out more than anything else tbh.) He asked how we liked the con, and we told him we always love C2E2. I asked him how he was liking Chicago. “Oh, I love Chicago. I’m actually staying here for a few extra days to see the city.” I told him to go see the Bean (embarrassing moment #1 because the Bean was literally the first thing that popped into my head but I definitely could’ve come up with something better). He said he’s definitely going to go do that. “I also heard there’s a beach.” I told him, “Well, it’s not like a let’s-go-sunbathing kinda beach if you know what I mean, but...well, I guess in the U.K. it’s not that much different.” (Embarrassing moment #2 because there was a pause while he processed what I’d said.) He laughed. My pulse went into overdrive.

That group picture though. Their faces. Our faces. Chloe in the middle looking like a zombie and trying to quake LMD!Fitz but looking like she’s just done with all of it (which...is pretty much canon so). Lily off to the side shrugging because S1!Jemma has no part in this battle. Iain looking scared because HE ASKED MY BOYFRIEND WHAT HE SHOULD DO AND HE JUST SHRUGGED AND DIDN’T GIVE HIM DIRECTION SO HE WAS LIKE “I’M JUST GONNA LOOK SCARED.” Despite how amazing this photo is, I’m glad we took a nice smiling one the day before. ;)

Lily went above and beyond the cosplay game and went so far as to volunteer to do all of our blood makeup! When I complained that her lab coat was getting fake blood all over it, she just sighed and said, “Devin, it’s a lab coat. It’s gonna get a little messy! Besides, she was dissecting the dead body of a virus-infected person in this episode, so.” I was honestly speechless after that. It was a complete transformation from when I took her to meet Chloe Bennet & Elizabeth last year. She was so shy then, but I’m glad she was able to meet Iain & Liz this year and feel more comfortable. Plus that mini-Simmons look? My heart melted every time I looked at her. 

Also, I got to meet @eclecticmuses on Saturday! Her cosplay was AMAZING LIKE HOLY MOLY THAT 3x18 JACKET. She’s also wonderfully sweet in person and I’m so happy she got to meet Iain and Elizabeth and that they got to see and appreciate just a small fraction of her amazing talent. <3
