Sparkster Salute

I'm going to be at Scotiacon this weekend! I'll be hanging out most of the time but on Sunday I'm doing a world building talk & on Monday I have a table in the dealers den!

Holy shit, a lot of stuff happened. Who knew that a lot of stuff can happen at cons?

I'm just gonna put my very surface level feelings of my first con experience. Sorry, i dont tell much what i did there.

Portuguese version then English translation

- Ficar num ambiente com furries da uma sensação gostosa de uma mistura de sentimentos do tipo "eu pertenço a esse lugar". Algo tipo um sentimento de comunidade ou algo assim, eu não sou psicólogo, to tentando descrever. Mas é uma sensação muito boa. Tipo, faz vc não querer sair de lá nunca.

- Foi facil falar com pessoas e perguntar a badge delas. Eu precisei de um amiguinho fofo pra uma leve introdução e talvez um pouquinho de cerveja cider berry da Rekorderlig. Mas perguntar sobre a fursona, ou quão foda ou fofo era a fursona sempre ajudava.

Enquanto dormia de um dia pro outro eu sonhava que eu estava lá. Meu cérebro conseguiu reproduzir o sentimento de "pertencer".

- Estou no avião de acabei de checar se eu estava com a badge do evento no pescoço pq era importante na identificação e para entrar nas apresentações e seminários e festinhas.

- To escrevendo tudo isso no avião que ta me levando pra casa pq eu não quero esquecer esse sentimento que a con me deu (merda caralho buceta não era pra eu chorar escrevendo isso).

- Being in environment with furries gives you like different feelings like you belong there. Like a sense of community or something like that, I'm not a psychologist im just trying to describe. But It's a great feeling. Makes you want to stay there and never leave.

- People are easy to talk to and ask their badge name. I did require a cute friend to make a introduction and maybe need a lil Rekorderlig berry cider drink. But asking about the their fursona or telling how cute or fucking awesome they are helps a lot.

- Every night when sleeping I dreamt that I was still there. Somehow my brain managed to reproduce the "belonging" feeling.

Im writing all of this while on the plane that is taking me home because I dont forget the feeling that the con gave (*Brazilian swear words* i wasn't supposed to cry writing this. But this is just a translation, myself in the past crode and while I was translating I did not crew.)

Bem já que era minha primeira con. Eu era um nooby. Então no primeiro dia eu n comi o suficiente e a minha glicose baixou demais e passei mal (YIPPEEEEE). Por sorte a con tinha uma 'equipe de bem-estar' (Welfare team, não sei como traduzir) e um membro da staff tava passando pelos corredores e eu pedi ajuda em onde ir pra ser atendido. Depois desse dia ganhei umas dicas deliciosas sobre sobrevivência de um certo animal híbrido de tigre e dragon. Então concluí isso: tem que comer porra, tu vai andar pra caralho e vai fazer uma cacetada de coisa e não da pra tirar a energia do fiofó. Tem que comer de 3 em 3 horas e tomar uma bebida calorica com nutrientes. Tem que dormir também, as 6 horas da regra sexual 621 não é mentira, tu fica cada vez mais cansado a cada dia que passa na convenção e começa a ficar lento e quase dormindo nos lugares. Enquanto eu tava no avião eu não tinha mais energia em ficar numa con, eu tava exausto

- well since it was my first con. I was a nooby. So the first day i did not eat a lot and my glucose level went low and almost passed out (YIPPIEEEEEEEE). Luckily there was a Welfare team and a member of the staff team was passing by through the corridors and I could ask for directions. After this day I got succulent tips about survival from a hybrid tiger dragon animal (yes, they can go to feline AND dragon meetings if they want). So I concluded this: you need to fucking eat, you will walk a fucking lot, you will do a fuck ton of stuff and you can't get that energy from your butt (Note: the translation here means energy from somewhere that can't give you energy. Cause you may know people that can give enough energy from their butt to start a car). You gotta eat a bit every 3 hours and drink high calorie and nutrient rich. Gotta sleep 6 hours as well, the sexual rule 621 does not lie, you get tired more and more each day through the con and you start to get sleepy and slow sooner. When I was on my way back I did not have more energy to be in a con (well, i could stay longer, but i would only be present in body cause my soul was already somewhere else)

My Rat fursuit, Zandy, debuted at Scotiacon this past weekend!

✂️ She was made by RadPandaUK, with the acception of her hand and feet paws that were made by Snow Gryphon Suits!

The head is about 3 years old now! It's nice to finally have her as a fullsuit!!

🐀 🐹 The Rodent Meet was VERY short sadly, but still tonnes of fun!
