#lbce 2016

✨God Tier

Here are some pictures from the convention I just went to !! (Long Beach Comic Expo)

I met so many lovely people and even got to meet the voice actors for Symmetra and Lucio !! (Anjali and Jonny)

They were absolutely sweet and I talked all about it on my instagram lol.

I saw probably about seven homestucks during the duration of two days, which was pretty cool lol.

Anyway, I probably won’t be wearing Jade again until Anime Expo 2017 on the last day.

Also my feet hurt very much please save me. The heels were four inches and I cry.

The Good

+ Disney cosplay meet up - so many awesome people!! Cool meeting you all!! 

+ The Video Games - aka cosplay stunt show. I love watching mock combat and stage fighting. These guys are really awesome at what they do. This is the real cosplay contest - to the death!

+ Meeting some really awesome artists like Joe Stanton and Chris Claremont. 

+ Lots of cute creative trinkets in the Artist Alley. Took some earrings home. I love following more Artist Alley peeps!

+ Chatting it up with some chill cosplayers from Bob’s Burgers, Disney, Star Wars, etc. 

+ Oh hi Long Beach Terrace Theatre for photos

+ Getting more motivation to cosplay Star Wars...it’s that fabric though

+ I really like that this con is chill enough to hang out with friends and to catch up with people I don’t see often.

+ Lady Killer cosplays were super comfortable

+ Made the awesome choice of bringing TJ’s salad to the con. Yay for saving money.

+ Not con related, but watching Hail Caesar afterwards in period clothing was the bee’s knees. (”Hey! This room is full of Jared’s!”) 

The Bad

+ The pinups who are also cosplayers are kinda stuck up? At least that’s the impression I got. Come on guys, pinups are far more chill than this! (takes one to know one) 

+ Eh...I prefer the actual convention center for main events and panels.

+ Some panel rooms were too small. 

+ Noticing the the comic con cosplay and anime cosplay communities are like two different worlds. 

+ Eh...awkwardness with some comic group that did not start talking to me until my significant other stepped out for a photo starting to talk about how I needed a safe space. What? I’m hoping that’s not your intention. The only safe space I need for creativity is quietness and easy access to tea.

+ Eh...the LBGT cosplay panel had some good intentions, but it seemed more focused on individual fame than banding together as a community. 

+ Oh snap, broke my heel. My bad!

The What

+ When I say “Club” you say “Cosplay!” “Club! “Anxiety...” “Club!” “Anxiety...”

+ Convincing Deb to go as Annie and @daoutlaw to go as Sandy.

+ Elevator to nowhere. 

Long Beach Comic Expo 2016- Miku Hatsune (50′s style!)

This outfit was so fun to wear! I didn’t last very long in the heels, but thats why you bring a set of comfortable shoes. Too bad though, they look so good! I also want to get a better petticoat to give it that extra fluff. Anyways had a great time Sunday! I was actually surprised at how many people asked for my photo.

From Long Beach Comic Expo’s Cosplay Contest! 

We went light on cosplay for this year’s LBCE (although Vintage princess Anna was a fun, comfy outfit for the day!), but had a blast seeing many familiar faces and being surrounded by so many truly awesome cosplayers!
