Pure vanilla cookie got to go to hanamicon!
And my photography skills need some work, I know, I know. But look how pretty the pink backdrop was! Bonus marianne:
More yapping about the con under the cut
So it was a pretty small con and *very* hot, but even tho I was very tired for most of it, I had a fantastic time!
Friday wasn't a full con day, it was just a cosplay ball in the evening. Which was fabulous, so many elegant and fancy cosplays! For the opening act we also tried to learn how to dance a quadrille - it was utter chaos, but still very fun. It was also fiance's first time wearing a full cosplay (except for two semi-closet cosplays like... 9 or so years ago and a fluffy tail here and there) and we didn't expect it, but there were quite a few people who knew cookie run and git super excited to see the cosplay. It made me so happy to see him chat with people excited about his cosplay <3 special shoutout to the very excited drunk girl who talked to us about the game for like half an hour, you were great
Second shoutout to the guy who came up to me and yelled "edelgard did nothing wrong!!", to which I agreed. That was clearly not the response he was expecting xD he looked at me in confusion, then doubled down with "nohr is better than hoshido!!"... and I had to agree again, which confused him even more. He then gave me an approving nod and said that usually those are much more controversial opinions xD
Saturday was super hot. I still decided to wear marianne and died a little the whole day. But again very fun - the funniest interactions that day were the girl who held up her phone to fiance (again in pv cosplay) and asked him to do a pull for her in crk (he even pulled an epic!), and what happened after the contest: one of the contestants was a pure vanilla cookie! A truthless recluse to be precise. We tried to find him for a photo after the contest, but initially had no luck. So we went to the bar either to give back our cups or get something to drink and while fiance is in line, I'm waiting a bit to the side, holding the vanilla cone hat. And there comes the other pv rolling in on his wheelchair, grinning. I greet him with a "he was already looking for you!" And he replies "and I was looking for him!" So the two cookies take photos together, and while they're posing I see a bernd das brot cosplayer sneaking in next to them. Fiance then sees him and gets super excited bc I mean, that's a perfect bernd das brot costume. The other pure vanilla just kinda covers his face and says "ye, that's my fiance...". It was amazing
Sunday was even hotter, so I wore my marcille cosplay but without a wig and it was so much more bearable. That day we watched flying sushi theater's newest play - it was a dungeon meshi play, ofc I had to see it. I love them so much, their ability to create a stageplay that's fun and entertaining for people who don't know the source material while also including a lot of nods and references for the people who do will never cease to amaze me. It was a hell's kitchen parody, with a second baking show parody running parallel - I'm sure that's also a play on an existing show, but I didn't recognise it. It was called "mimic'ed it!" and they had to recreate baked goods as shown on a photo. All due to djinn shenanigans. And ofc bc it's dungeon meshi, the djinn got consumed in the end - they made djinn tonic, with the sound effect and recipe card from the anime. Truly amazing - if you ever get the chance to see them perform, I highly recommend!
Ok, enough yapping for now
