eccc18 – Page 2 – I'm a defeatist but I don't have to be

Humans can be unspeakably tedious, but at least their coffee is good for a nice long session of planning mischief. (at Emerald City Comic Con)

My #cosplay for the first two days of #ECCC: Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, from Age of Ultron

Yesterday: me as MCU Wanda Maximoff and @veliseraptor as 616 Natasha!

“No snide comments about the teeming masses of humanity?”

“I’ve seen multiple people dressed as multiple versions of me, so no, I would say at least a few members of this crowd have good taste.”

“And several dressed as me.”

“I never said they ALL have good taste.”

there! is! too! much! cool! art!

Avengers Academy Loki (who happens to be female today) cannot beLIEVE she has to wait for the stupid human bus

today at ECCC:

there is simultaneously a very sad lack of Loki art in Artist Alley and also TOO MUCH, because I bought…nearly all the Loki art I saw, WHOOPS
just in general there is SO MUCH COOL ART and it’s a Problem because I don’t have the money, space, or mental energy for decisions for a little of everything I like
went to a panel that included Tamora Pierce and (aside from one minor enby-erasing comment) I loved her, she’s like the best kind of salty grandma who’s seen everything and gives no fucks anymore what people think of her
a discovery: some vendors sell loose action figures, which is GREAT, because I’m an out-of-box collector with everything and loose stuff is cheaper, so for instance I found a Marvel Legends Civil War Wanda for (I’m pretty sure) less than I would’ve paid online
met an adorable, excited pomsky
at least a couple people complimented my Wanda cosplay and one person asked for a picture
met @veliseraptor and @ameliarating 😀
the only cosplay that is really sticking in my head is Chef Thanos, because it was very clearly Thanos, as a chef, and I’m still puzzling over it
got to tell Ryan North how much I love his Squirrel Girl, and also how much I love the bits he did with Loki (which I feel a little bad about actually because I definitely talked about Loki more than Doreen, but it was all compliments so it’s probably fine??)

BUT panels can also be a huge bust (sometimes because of panelists, sometimes audience members) and more importantly what if there’s some amazing Loki art or merch that would be unavailable or very expensive elsewhere and I MISS IT because I didn’t scour every booth D:

I’m gradually realizing I pretty much have to choose between a) going to any panels at all and b) trying to see everything in Artist Alley and the show floor, and it’s cranking up my existing level of paranoid FOMO to, like, 15
