#zipcon 2025

I went to zipcon for the first time, in my furina cosplay! got many compliments on it 🤭

I tried to hand out little valentine's ducks to people, but I was so awkward I ended up with half of them left over 😭 only got pics with 2 cosplayers. a cute tighnari and an amazing focalors! the tighnari made me wish I was in my cyno cosplay! the focalors was a performer for the skit competition and she won!!!! she did the little dance from the game and then died. I don't know her but i'm so proud of her and so happy she won! she did amazing! I forgot to ask her for her social media (and forgot to pay attention to the name announcement for the skit) I wish I could have asked to be friends 😭 she seemed super nice even despite how weird and awkward I am.

so the sad part of this con is I had to go alone. couldn't convince anyone to go with me and didn't make a single friend at the con. tried for months to get someone to cosplay with me or at least meet up at the con and hang out fkr the day. nope. had a few people say they'd meet up just for a photo (that's all I asked for. one photo together in matching cosplay - genshin harbingers- i didn't even ask them to hang out because thats too much to ask for) but they all canceled without warning during the con 😭 more communication from them would have been better, not suddenly tell me you can't after you already left! I spent a week grinding an arlecchino cosplay, pulling all nighters up until the con and it was for nothing in the end. so I had to stay alone at the con and not get to meet anyone.

but!!! the good part is I predicted this outcome, I could tell they would do this, so went in furina cosplay instead and slayed 😌
