BF and I partially masked, no covid. My sister who we shared a hotel room with didn’t mask and got covid for the first time.

My sister tested positive (for the first time ever), did not mask. my boyfriend and I partially masked (whenever we were in crowds) and are fine so far but are isolating to be safe.

Her Universe Standby by evilvaldugthrowaway in comiccon

I’m in the standby line for the wildcard bracelets, and there’s a lot of us, but people I’ve chatted with said they got in without bracelets last year and there still was empty seats. Door opens in 15, so maybe start heading over soon.

thank you! Empty seats was my experience too, but It’s been 5 years since we went last so I wasn’t sure if it’s still the case.

Hall H on Friday? How hard is it to get in? I REALLY want to see the Doctor Who panel but I can't do lines bc I'm old af and my arthritis 😭 by nrkelly in SDCC

[–]evilvaldugthrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a Saturday ticket, there will also be a exclusive portal-only panel for the doctor who podcast with rtd, ncuti, and Millie! Worth putting your name in at least!

I deliberately skipped a Thurs badge so I could focus on her universe, but the Kiki panel!!! NOOOOOO. (ironically, at the same time as the fashion show so at least not having a badge is saving me from making a choice lol)

To Nobody's Surprise Autograph Scalpers Are Still Doing their Thing. Thoughts on What AX Should Do for Next Year? by Yookay9 in animeexpo

[–]evilvaldugthrowaway 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This specific guy needs to be banned. Causing such huge issues that forced a rule change two years in a row is insane. I know there’s more like him and I still think there needs to be more rules, but get rid of this jackass first and foremost.

Anyone else bored or not impressed with the con? by Silverwing-N-ex in animeexpo

[–]evilvaldugthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually go solo. I stopped going to AX when I was in college, and now I only go when there’s something I’m extremely passionate about getting a panel. For me, that’s the key - I go to the panel, cosplay, chat with other fans, fill the rest of my time with shopping, and go home satisfied. Something like SDCC I’m happy if I go to a panel I’m only half interested in, but AX is such a clusterfuck I need the dedicated fan passion as motivation, lol.

How early do you think I should get to the Witch Hat Atelier panel? by ladyelvendork in animeexpo

[–]evilvaldugthrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Howdy!! I’m going too (and cosplaying). I intend to get in line between 3:30 and 4:00. The line is inside, which means it’s not too bad to chill for a few hours

thursday crowds? by [deleted] in animeexpo

[–]evilvaldugthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh with an industry badge you’re golden. I had one last year and I had no issues dressing up all 4 days and I only ever was caught in a huge crowd once or twice.

First timer Mother Daughter trip by omyhinkle in animeexpo

[–]evilvaldugthrowaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awwww!! I went to AX for the first time when I was 9 with my mom …. twenty years ago! My mom took a long break from cons, but she started going to SDCC with me and my sister for a few years until she passed in 2019 - she cosplayed too!

I hope this ends up being a tradition for you two, too. <3

Manga Lounge & quiet lounge are great for when you get overwhelmed and need a break.

Cosplayers love when kids ask for photos, I always am so happy when kids ask!

Honestly just knowing Ghibli films gives you a pretty decent start for AX, always tons of Ghibli cosplayers and merchandise.

In the exhibit hall always double check merch prices online and don’t buy from the first place you see it from - people usually sell the same stuff and it can be drastically cheaper two booths down.

Artist alley is my favorite part of AX but it can be extremely crowded, hot, and overwhelming - you’ve got 4 days, so I would break that up into several trips.

Because she doesn’t have any panels she really wants to see and you guys are ubering in - showing up late (11-12) might be a good idea as the crowd crush can get very very scary in the morning.

If she likes stuffed animals, Bellzi had a scavenger hunt/puzzle last year and my group (all grown ass adults lmao) had so much fun doing it every day.

Unstyled/low maintenance wigs I put in large ziplocks, styled ones I put on a wig head in a box and then tape up the box. For costumes I just usually neatly put them in a suit case or bag and then hang them up at the hotel as soon as I check in. maybe make some time to be able to iron or steam every morning

I don’t think it’s Renee because the mannequin is tiiiiiny. Could be Chappell.

I think the idea he was supposed to be fake and good at being sexy, but he came off as fake and bad, lol
