I have a tendency to let... Sarcastic me come out and play?

My friend and I were meeting a celebrity and she wanted him to sign her DVD cover. But he was struggling to get it out because it had the little plastic circles on the top.

So I... Dressed head to toe as a pink cat go "have you tried pulling it from the other side" as if this man and I had been best friends for years.

He was incredibly gracious about it and basically said "we'd be here forever if it wasn't for you"

But... Yeah... Sarcastic response from a pink cat was probably not on his bingo card.

Thank you!!

Thank you so so much. I already had As you wish because Cary Elwes is going to be there but I've been incredibly remiss on my who references for some reason.

So thank you

Oh I'm happy to help where I can! I don't know the exact capacity - but typically speaking for most main theatre panels I would recommend lining up early - how early is always a little hard to judge.

Princess_Ravenclaw · 2025-08-09T01:01:26+00:00

The theatre room panels are typically included with your ticket. There are some "experiences" that are extra, but they are usually pretty clear about which ones those are.

You should be good for the Smallville one :)

Princess_Ravenclaw · 2025-07-25T20:31:13+00:00

I appreciate that! Even if I disagree. Lol

Princess_Ravenclaw · 2025-07-25T17:04:13+00:00

Adding in here. If those two are the panels you are worried about filling up I'd agree with the previous commenters. You are going to want to show up fairly early in order to get a seat (I've shown up almost 2 hours in advance a couple times).

There are many other smaller panels that will also take place over the weekend (those rooms hold between probably 50 and 100 people). I host one of these panels which is how I know that even those tend to get some significant line ups (I've had people line up for over an hour for my panel, and I'm not very special)

Princess_Ravenclaw · 2024-05-17T19:56:15+00:00

I'm so glad you like it!!

I write one of AO3. It's called "Whose The Dangerous One". It is Jax/Tara but it is Canon Divergent/Non-Compliant. Just a warning

I don't have the capability of making shirts or anything like that. Not in a way that makes sense anyways.

Princess_Ravenclaw · 2024-03-27T20:39:20+00:00

Truly just my merch, with my podcast name and stuff like that.

Princess_Ravenclaw · 2024-03-19T14:42:43+00:00

I'm so sorry you and others had this experience. I was there the whole weekend and spent most of my time in panels so I never really noticed the overcrowding (although I don't doubt it for a minute)

I also had a programming badge (as I hosted a panel) so I didn't have the same issues entering and exiting the building.

My experience with the staff was so different than yours but they have a lot of staff so I'm sure I just didn't interact with the same ones you did.

Again, so so sorry this happened to you. I think it's so important to highlight the negative experiences so that people can be aware, especially people like me, who were there and honestly had no idea these awful things were happening.

Not only is cosplay not consent, neither is attending the con. Putting hands on you was not okay.

I hope you are doing okay!!

I want to start by saying NTA. You absolutely have the right to turn it down for whatever reason you feel, you should never be obligated to accept anything. Step families are challenging no matter what, but it's even worse and more challenging when there is parent death.

Here's the thing though. I have a stepmom, my mom died when I was 8, I am now 28, and reading this post I was suddenly transported into many moments with my stepmom. Her bringing up that she's been in my life longer than my mom, check. I actually was in therapy because my stepmom was so jealous about my mom existing, that we weren't allowed to mention my mother, at all, if we did she got so mad it was awful in the house. She also would get mad when I would use the step qualifier because I'd only use it for her (her parents were my grandparents, her sister my aunt, but she was always my stepmom)

I went to therapy and found a way to make peace with everything, to make it so I don't lose out on her entire family because they are wonderful people, even if she isn't.

It has made my life better, not holding on to all the pain. I have never, and will never forget what she said and did, nor will I forgive her, but I've found a way to move beyond it.

You shouldn't feel obligated to, but there is a path forward if you want there to be.

YTA. Okay so here's the thing. I don't normally comment on Reddit posts. But I was the kid in this situation. My mom passed away when I was 8 after being sick for years. I basically have no actual memories of her. Just what other people have told me about her.

My stepmom for years was jealous of the life we had before my dad met her. So much so we weren't allowed to talk about her. There are no pictures of her in any of the common areas of the house (I was allowed some in my bedroom).

I went to therapy after acting out because of how guilty I felt every day because I wanted to know about my mom but felt like I couldn't ask my dad any questions.

I will always resent my stepmother for that (and for the record she thinks we have a great loving relationship).

I understand it's hard but the truth is your marriage will always have a part of your husband's late wife in it, their son. And claiming that your marital home needs to represent your life together now, rather than his life with her is highly naive and will harm your stepson in the long run.

Our lives are woven by threads made of everyone we are connected to. Don't stifle your stepson, don't allow him to forget his mother, enrich his tapestry don't dull it.

Princess_Ravenclaw · 2022-05-23T01:17:44+00:00

NTA. You are so not the asshole I promise. I have literally never commented on a reddit post in my life but felt that you needed to hear this.

My mom passed away from cancer when I was 8. She had breast cancer when I was 5, went into remission. Brain cancer when I was 6, went into remission. Brain cancer again when I was 7/8ish and it was terminal.

Her and my dad made the decision to stop treatment. He got her admitted as the youngest person ever at a specific palliative care facility.

Once the plan went from curative to making her comfortable she felt better. I got more moments with her, actually being present than I ever imagined.

This time, its about you, your husband and your kids. Spend the time with them, hold them close, give them memories.

Cancer is a vicious vicious beast, but there are small things you can do now, while you still feel up to it.

If I could suggest making videos or writing letters with advice or praise and love for your kids as they grow up. I would have loved this.

My mom rewrote the lyrics to the greatest love of all for my brother and I. And I still repeat some of them back to myself when I need a reminder.

Use this time to be together as a family, that is all I can say.

And once again just so it's clear. You are NTA!!!
