Sooooo, I'm sure your aware from the way my Instagram blew up on Saturday that I was having a blast at the local Comic Con! Like always I was super anxious the week before... I always get myself all worked up about the most exciting and smallest things to the point where I'm like why do I even bother making plans? Why do I bother going outside the house? And then once I get to the exciting thing I planned I am perfectly fine and not anxious at all and everything goes perfectly fine. #anxietyproblems (yes I do hashtags like an immature teenager but I honesty think the whole hashtag thing in day to day conversation and blogs and stuff is hilarious so I do it anyways).
Anyways, it was a complete blast! I would do it again in a heartbeat. Heck I would have gone Friday, Saturday and Sunday if Sunday hadn't happened to be Easter. Sean Maguire from Once Upon a Time (he was a lot of fun) was there along with Cary Elwes (he was hilarious and really awesome!), Jewel Staite from Firefly (she was super sweet and great). Charlie Cox was there (*cue screaming Daredevil fans in the distance*). My friend Paige completely went fangirl crazy when she got a picture with him and got to sit through his panel. The Sean Maguire panel was going on in the middle of that one or I would have totally gone with to see Charlie Cox. The panels were fun and all but they weren't my favorite part. I actually got a little antsy and ready to go half way through all three that I went through, mostly because none of them were like my all time favorites. The vendors were awesome and they had the coolest stuff there! I got a Gambit poster and some Charles Xavier earrings and a TVD magnet and some New Mutant comics which I was so psyched about. There was so much there to look at and I could have bought everything in that giant room. They even had like a life size Toothless to take pictures with. A cosplayer Tony Stark and his car and the Ghost Rider bike to take picture with for like 20 bucks (I learned that the hard way when I got on it and got yelled at haha).
But I think my ultimate favorite part was the cosplayers! Some of these costumes were hardcore and gorgeous and amazing! I took pictures with so many people and it was the best! I honestly could have just spent the whole day looking around and looking at people's costumes and getting pictures with them. It was so cool! Next year I have decided that I am totally going to do a hardcore or semi-hardcore cosplay of someone (I haven't decided on who yet... I don't really look like any fictional characters).
If you have the opportunity to go to a comic con or if you know one is coming to a city near you I would encourage you to go. It is so worth the money and everyone there is so nice and friendly and it's a really great experience. And honestly it isn't very expensive (if you can stop yourself from buying everything there!).
Here's a few pictures to convince you to go:
 |
| This was too cool! |
 |
| We literally followed this guy down the hall on accident and then I was like you know what? Can I have a picture? |
 |
| Those clones were everywhere! I saw them repeatedly throughout the day haha |
 |
| Batman! |
 |
| This is my fave picture! He was a very good Kylo Ren |
 |
| That girl with the box on her head was weird... I saw her couple of times. The Anna and Regina were gorgeous! And I found Commander Cody and Arrow! Best. Day. Ever. |
 |
| Also Bobba Fett and some bad panel pictures (I got some awesome seats right up front though) |
 |
| And a few spoils from the day. I am dying to wear my Xavier earrings! |
(Also I went in a Legion inspired outfit but I don't think anyone noticed. I still felt pretty awesome wearing it though haha. Though just a tip... unless your cosplaying don't wear a dress or skirt to Comic Con especially if you'll be waiting in lines and sitting cuz sitting on the ground in a skirt is awkward and uncomfortable lol). So yeah, you should definitely go to a Comic Con. If you do don't be afraid to go up and ask people for pictures cuz everyone I asked for pictures were super awesome about it and super nice in general.
So yeah. Go to a Comic Con and have a blast and be your geeky, weird, fangirl self amongst people who will not judge and are as big of geeks as you are!
Have a great weekend everyone!
