ANYC Saturday.

I was near the front of the line for the CatChu meet and greet, so Yabu-chan saw me when she walked out, and she seemed so happy when she did. And she seemed so excited when it was my turn to meet her 🥹. She liked my guitar prop and we compared hair buns lol. Meet all three of the CatChu seiyuu was a magical experience, they really do shine in an amazing way.

In a week, doing both AnimeNYC and PopCult, in spite of those being in two different cities :4504_aqua_laugh: Hooray for Greyhound. (If Amtrak ran at more times, in particular more late night/early morning routes, or if there was a high speed rail option, I'd do that... But nope, a bus it is :ferndisgust: .)

Hoping to meet CatChu on Saturday of ANYC. (Really, just going to CatChu events is my main priority there. It's do all the CatChu things, and bounce when there's no more Cats to Chu.)

And performing in the Idol Showcase on Sunday of PopCult with Sora Idols as Guilty Kiss :mmikudab: Gonna be hype!

I'm doing this for Flame Con on Sunday. (I also decided this yesterday #ConCrunch :4504_aqua_laugh: ).

(Flame Con does ban gun props in general, but I have an absolutely hilarious water gun to take pictures with at home.)

I am looking forward to checking out Flame Con, it sounds like a very comfy and inclusive place. :nnezukolove56: One thing I like about cons in general is that they can often provide a safe space for people to comfortably be themselves. A con which puts that goal front and center seems like a great idea :mexcitedmiku:

I'll post more from my last couple cons eventually, but in the meantime:

Hanayo T pose

(There's someone with a cardboard cutout if Hanayo T-posing, I'll catch em at a con with it one of these days.)

Id0l Jam is happening in September in Somerville! :mexcitedmiku:

After there was some issue with the venue for the summer, Metam0re is now hosting Autumn Id0l Jam on September 29 at Arts at the Armory in Somerville. A day of Idol Showcases, singing, cosplay, and other idol and anime related stuff. (And now conveniently located in my city, no more needing to take the commuter rail :TamakoLaugh: .)

More info, and applications for performances and for vending space (I think they're especially looking for more artists to vend, anyone who's got some nerdy stuff to sell): https://autumnid0ljam.carrd.co/

One day, two cosplays.

Was quite fun switching out between two very different outfits (and genders :TamakoLaugh: ).

Happy birthday to Yohane! My favorite character ever, and one of my greatest comforts. Her character theme of finding and embracing one's true self became a core theme of Aqours (find our own shine), and is one I hold near and dear. And it was by cosplaying her that I've grown as a person, made so many friends, and had so many wonderful experiences. She really is my greatest inspiration and my idol! 🤍😈

My big Yohane day celebrations: Making chocolate strawberries (her two favorite foods!) for my Yohane plushies, gathered under my Yohane wall with my wings. :nnezukolove56: And gathering up (some of...) my merch for a shrine celebration :mexcitedmiku: .

Yohane has 8 solo songs. (The most of any Love Live character 😈.) Of these, 6 have solo choreos; Girls! was performed as a group song in the GnY Live, and Maboroshi Wing will probably only get a choreo as of Finale Live. As of today, I have performed 3 of these songs. 😈

Gonna try to hit up the Jujutsu Kaisen meetup on Friday and the retro anime meetup on Saturday. (And predictably the idol and Love Live meetups on Sunday :TamakoLaugh: .)

Excited to do little devil Hanayo, putting her together has been fun. 😈 (Me: I wanna put some effort into a non-Yohane cosplay. Also me: Does the little devil set.)

Exciting news: I joined an idol group!!! :mexcitedmiku: :mexcitedmiku: :mexcitedmiku: I'm now the Yohane / Hanayo / Ai / Mei / Megumi of Sora Idols!!! :mexcitedmiku: :mexcitedmiku: :mexcitedmiku:

A year ago, I didn't think I'd actually be doing idol dances myself, and I never imagined I'd ever share the stage with so many of the talented people in the Northeast idol community. But here we are. :nnezukolove56:

Posting the rest of my AB cosplay pictures. My Saturday cosplay was Yohane's in this unstable world outfit. A dream cosplay, since it's the song that made me come back into the Love Live fandom after a few years apart, and the song that made Yohane my favorite. :nnezukolove56: Definitely version 1.0 of the outfit, I have a number of improvements and redoes planned (probably going to redo the skirt from scratch, and will finish a nicer version of the blouse with embroidered details sometime next month). Still, I am happy with how this came out, especially the wings. Walking around with giant wings feels pretty epic. :AquaYeah:

Also, to be silly, I made little Tears of a Fallen Angel out of foam balls and handed them out.

Will have some nicer pictures from a photoshoot coming in a couple weeks. :mexcitedmiku:

Some pictures from the Anime Boston Friday Love Live photoshoot. :mexcitedmiku: I did Yohane's outfit from Genjitsu no Yohane again this year; it's been about a year since I started cosplaying her, and this outfit is as fun as ever. (Needs some upgrading though... Plans for the summer :akko_wink: .)

Photos due to YLD Photography.

Coming out of post-con hibernation for a bit to start making posts. (Also good morning to the EDT time zone. :4504_aqua_laugh: )

Anime Boston was a lot of fun! It's been 10 years since I started going to AB, and the con still holds a special place in my heart. Last year was the first time I cosplayed Yohane, which has led to a year of fun and happiness as I've met so many great people in the local cosplay and idol communities. This year, I did way more with cosplay than ever before, and while I'm really eager to improve a lot of things, I'm also pretty proud of what I've done (and proud of the fact that I'm now dissatisfied with things that are far better than my best from a year ago.)

Some event highlights for me:

-The Queen Bee concert on Friday. Avu-chan is an incredibly talented vocalist, and this comes through even better live :mexcitedmiku:

-The idol showcase. Every group really showed their stuff. So many incredible performances, I really love watching and cheering for all the groups here.

-An excellent panel on plus-sized cosplay, with both broader perspectives on inclusivity and some great practical tips.

First cosplay pic post, I was gonna be Maki for day 0 but I was late coming out of work and forgot my wig. :TamakoLaugh: Still took a pic with it on back home though.

The idol showcase at Northeast ComicCon yesterday was a lot of fun! :AquaYeah: There were a lot of amazing performances! And I think my own performance went pretty well. :mexcitedmiku: (I may have gotten a few more people to watch Macross too. :akko_giggle: )

Pictures thanks to @hardcorefandomtrash (instagram).

Getting hyped for Northeast Comic Con, from March 8-10! :akko_excited: Posting cosplay lineup. Friday/Sunday are kind of tentative, I might switch one out with Maki.

Really excited for Saturday, which will be my second performance in an idol showcase! :mexcitedmiku: I'll be performing Reina Prowler's Silent Hacker from Macross Delta. (Not doing Love Live?! :ChikaScared: )

Snowy day yesterday. Decided to have some fun inside and outside cosplaying Maki. :nnezukolove56:

Gonna share some pics in a pixelfed post too. :mexcitedmiku:

Put up my performance from the idol showcase at AAC on Youtube! First time doing a dance performance, hopefully more to come next year. :akko_excited:

Another video Parfait Soleil did recently was an awesome START:DASH dance cover, once they got a full 9 members. (And, they did it live at Popcult too! :mexcitedmiku: )

Another Anime Con was a lot of fun! Got to hang around today with some friends today to wrap up the con.

Highlight for me was of course my first time performing in an idol showcase. :mexcitedmiku: And getting to share some excitement for Genjitsu no Yohane by doing Forever U & I (from the penultimate episode). It was really fun putting together the cosplay and figuring out the choreography from the episode, which is all I had to go on since it hasn't been performed live yet. :TamakoLaugh: (I'm actually really interested to see the choreo that Aikyan will use in the Yohane Live; there are a lot of cutaways in the anime MV that I had to fill in, and which will probably be filled in differently by Aikyan. :akko_excited: )

And all the other performances were all so good. :akko_listen: I really love the idol community around here; everyone's so good at performing, in addition to being so supportive and full of positive energy.

An instagram story with part of my performance (I'll post full video later when I have the official video or a friend's): https://www.instagram.com/stories/cavoritelizard/3219339293166979068/
