ConFuzzled 2018 (aka. my first furry con)
Alright. Here's my post about Confuzzled 2018 (which was in May) that I've been putting off for way too long, because I’m lazy and I just took so many photos XD I guess this also counts as a face reveal of sorts, as I didn't have a fursuit and I don't think I've ever uploaded any pics of myself here (I should really upload some of my cosplay pics sometime though). Photo captions are below each image, or set of images.
The first fursuiter I got a photo with. Not the first one I saw, but the first one I got a photo of :)
Noodles the Asian Dutch Angel Dragon, who I thought was absolutely adorable ^_^ I don't think I'd ever seen an Eastern-inspired Dutchie before this one. He/she(?) even had whiskers!
A dragon I asked for a photo just before another suiter came up to them and started messing around XD (Yes, the other one did get booped after the last pic was taken)
This was like an official cake for the convention or something? Either way, it looked amazing :D
A fursuiter (with another one in the background) who was playing music through a portable speaker. He was also in the fursuit dance competition later that day (I can see why)
Miscellaneous fursuiters I saw around the place whose fursuits I really liked :)
I just loved this guy. His suit was so amazing and detailed, and he was pretty funny too! This photo was taken in the queue to the Dealers’ Den - someone else in the queue asked him for a photo, and he asked them, “would you like a sexy pose or a scary pose?” I can’t remember exactly which one this was, but I think it was the scary pose XD I kept seeing him around the con, and he was honestly really cool.
Someone in the Dealers’ Den had a sketchbook that she’d been letting people doodle in for the last few years, and if you visited her stall you could doodle in it too. So I drew a badly-drawn headshot of my fursona, and @celticwarriormoon (who was with me) drew her dragon character Seetam :)
I only found out after the con that you weren’t allowed to take photos or film in the Dealers’ Den, whoops ^^; The person at this stall obviously didn’t mind though.
Just a Lycanroc :D
I couldn’t believe it when I saw this guy at Confuzzled! I’d seen Sunny Dingo in furry vines and videos before, but I was not expecting him to turn up at a UK con. Either way, I seized the opportunity and got a photo with him after I’d had a few snacks :D
Some photos of me with my friend @lankylunatic (as SW7 the hyena) and their friend Jasper (a monster wolf I think? I’m 99% sure). I loved hanging out with these guys so much! This was actually the first time I’d seen SW7 as a full suit in person :D I’d only seen him as a partial before Confuzzled, but as a full suit he looks even more amazing! Both of these fursuits looked way better in person than these slightly blurry photos, I really didn’t do them justice here D:
Another popufur! As if Sunny Dingo wasn’t enough, I also got a photo of Artemis :D I recognised him from his Youtube channel, Artemis Wishfoot. I think he was also at the Youtube Furs panel (but I didn’t go to that)
A kitsune I didn’t get the name of, but they had a nice design :)
A really cute Dutch Angel Dragon who was playing around with SW7 and co. I thought their suit was adorable :)
I bought a pair of wolf ears that perfectly match my fursona in the Dealers’ Den earlier that day, and I put them on in the bathroom before going back out to meet more fursuiters. I found one cosplaying as Reaper from Overwatch and got this photo with them :D They were amazing! Unfortunately this is the only photo I have with my ears on as I wasn’t wearing them the whole day.
Another fursuiter in cosplay, this time as Junkrat from Overwatch :) The Reaper from earlier also interacted with them a bit, which I loved XD
Gaming-themed artwork on some of the windows. It was amazing :)
I thought this fursuiter was really cute! I found out recently that their name is Took :D
Some sort of zombie dog/wolf who I thought was really cool :)
A dragon whose design sorta looked Eastern dragon-ish (I think it did, anyway) :)
Two adorable Dutch Angel Dragons who I kept seeing around the con. Both of them squeaked/chirped, and one of them sounded kinda like Telephone :D I saw the one on the left nose-boop someone’s camera earlier on, and it was honestly the most adorable thing ever! ^_^ I just love Dutchies so much :)
This wolf (I think?) came up behind me as I was taking photos of the dragons in the previous pic. Their suit was really realistic and detailed :D
The main hall before the fursuit dance competition. I loved the lighting effects :)
Don’t know if you can see it that well, but the presenter of the dance comp was dressed in a Mario outfit XD
Photos from the dance comp, judges’ performance and results (I know some of them are blurry and hard to see, but I couldn’t help that with all the movement and excitement)
I got a photo with Mutley and Zephyr after the dance comp! :D I’d met Mutley before at Dublin Comic Con 2017. This was my first time seeing her in person again after that :) I also recognised Zephyr from DeviantArt, so it was nice to get a photo with her as well.
Last but DEFINITELY not least, I managed to get a photo with BeautyOfTheBass!! :D Ever since finding out about her online, I’d dreamed of meeting her in person. That dream came true at Confuzzled :’) She came joint second in the dance comp audience vote, and I was so happy for her. She also debuted the Bass 3.0 suit at the dance comp, and I absolutely love the new design! (Her old one was pretty cool as well though.) I’m kind of annoyed that my sister (who isn’t a furry) got a better photo with Bass than I did, but at least I got to meet her. It’s the memory that counts. ^_^
(I also got a pin from Bass’s stall in the Dealer’s Den earlier on, so that’s something as well)
All the stuff I got in total (first pic), and everything including stuff my sister got as well (second pic). It was a good haul, not bad for my first furry con XD
All in all, ConFuzzled 2018 was an amazing experience. I’d highly recommend the convention to other fellow furries, and I hope to go again next year! :D
Bonus!
I also got a little Bolt plushie the night before I went to the con! I saw him in a Disney store in a shopping centre and I knew I had to get him. He’s such a special boy and I love him so much ^_^ Just another great souvenir from my Confuzzled trip. :)
