AND, I was very very good about art prints, but I did pick up a few irresistible pieces 🥹

HUGE shout-out to the awesome couple who was also trying to get Karl and Tom’s autographs simultaneously, who let me group up with them so I could bounce between lines! I never would have managed both without their help. 💛💛💛

And my favorite part of the day… Me: I’ll be honest, I had such a hard time choosing between LOTR and Doom, one of my favorite comfort movies Karl Urban: You got the Doom photo with ya? Me: …yes Karl: Give it here Me: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 If I did not already love him to bits, man…that would have done it

Tom’s marker was the absolute SHITTIEST paint pen and considering what his autograph cost, I’m not super thrilled about that. But damn it I’m still glad I finally got to meet him. I’ve waited so so so long. 🥹😭 And everyone else was wonderful!! Even if the schedule was SO poorly managed

*collapses into pathetic heap of pain and exhaustion* Allergies finally let up after the Smallville panel but holy hell this con is STRESSFUL. And my back is possibly going to revolt against me.

Seated for the Smallville panel, and I would like to point out that this will be the fourth (4th) time I have taken in a smallville panel at a con while killing time. 😅 Now don’t get me wrong. I’m a Smallville fan. Loved the show. But I very rarely do panels at all. Even for things I ADORE.

I am miserable from my runny nose and sneezing, I haven’t had any of my scheduled STUFF yet and from what I hear the block scheduling is not remotely working, but one of my favorite artists is here with a print I’ve been pining for off her Etsy forEVER (which keeps selling out) so I’m still winning

TLB releasing another single off the cast album was like...the perfect start to a weekend of fandom joy. Everything else aside (PLEASE LET ME STOP SNEEZING I BEG), that was a very nice thing to wake up to. Also because Now, Forever is such a pretty song 🥹

I can't decide if I'm allergic to the San Antonio weather or to my hotel room, odds are truly 50/50 on either, but in any case it's shaping up to be a long and sneezy weekend.

Had a small grocery order delivered to my hotel room yesterday. The under driver was like “okay this is super smart and cost effective, but I noticed you ordered a small pack of spoons for the cereal but no bowls? Good sir, allow me to introduce you to my brilliance, accidentally learned years ago.

The con I'm going to is super weird, in that it's all block scheduling, even for autographs. Everything is by group number. It reminds me of when I used to do SPN cons, just on a bigger scale. All of which is to say, I have nothing to do and nowhere to be until like 4pm which feels...odd.

(having literally just rewatched this last night...)

This feels like a rather not comforting thing. (And the hotel is all booked because of the fucking sportsballs, so it’s not like I can change rooms.) Going to spend four days feeling like I’m in a horror movie, probably.

“Go to a con in Texas in June” they said. “It’ll be fun” they said. Also. The clouds on my weather app are a LIE. WHERE ARE MY PROMISED CLOUDS, TEXAS?

Headed to the airport at about the same time I would normally be headed to work and had a serious feeling of disconnect NOT getting off at my office stop. (It’s really rare that I go to the airport when it’s daylight out which probably didn’t help 🤣)

Oh hell no

My favorite pre-travel ritual (especially for longer flights, not the hour and a half jaunt I usually have) is downloading all the longfics I have been stockpiling in my AO3 "marked for later" tab for months so I can finally read them. *rubs hands together gleefully*

Hehehe new tshirt arrived just in time for comic con weekend!

From my current WIP, Lost Boys musical, Michael/David, post-canon I wrote this bit of dialogue on my phone while literally tripping off the bus, because I was so afraid of losing it between the bus stop and the walk home. 🤣

Running errands about half a mile down the street and taking the fucking bus to do it because my god it’s like soup outside I am not going to survive this summer, I can just tell 🥵

I have a few. The particularly egregious ones are almost all Christmas songs. And the one I hate the most, that one that transports me INSTANTLY back to Staples, is A Marshmallow World. I am physically incapable of listening to it without wanting to rip my face off.

Need to figure out a couple fun things to do in San Antonio. Preferably indoors, where the air conditioning lives. And not super far from the Freeman Expo Hall...like, someplace I can easily Uber to. I have Thursday afternoon/evening and Friday morning with no convention things.

Okay so, no alt descriptions this time around because my brain is melted, very sorry. In the first image you see the clock tower. Where the AI struggled to repeat and recognize a pattern, it mushed them together. Looks fine from afar but not from close up. Sora’s shoes look off. Donald has

At some point, Square is going to realize that we are going to spot the slop every time, and we are going to continue calling them out for it

oh. that KH collection cover really IS AI generated huh

As someone who used to work on licensed comics (Rugrats, Cartoon Network etc) it absolutely blows my mind that stuff like this is going out on official products. We'd get dragged over the coals if a spot colour was one Pantone reference out. Now? Sure, Donald has seven fingers. Why not?

This thread shows some serious insanity going on. I'm very glad my trip was a week ago and not today. Hope my NYC friends are hanging in there and as unaffected as possible!!

Bit on the nose, really

Also here is a more full clip of the speech, the one I found last night was missing a bit on either end, and my god it's worth hearing the whole thing www.instagram.com/p/DZUcnuisx1A/

Woke up still thinking about Ali and the way he was like “there are people I should thank but actually, I have some stuff to say” God I’m so proud of him 🥹

I really liked Schmigadoon. But. No. BOO.

I don't care if you don't care about this show, THIS SPEECH IS 100% EVERYTHING

HUH. Not the Lost Boys performance I was expecting but I'm into it.

HERE IT IS THE CATEGORY I CARE ABOUT MOST PLEASE DON'T LET ME DOWN

SHOSHANA HELL YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!

(I think I saw saw more of the Tony nominees this year than I did Golden Globe nominees and I think that says something about me as a person but I can't quite articulate what)

Daniel Radcliffe was ROBBED and Imma die mad about it

I was not sold on P!nk hosting the Tonys, but that opening act was the most fun opening act I have EVER seen for the Tony Awards

Look, I was in this almost solely for shallow reasons, but this was delightful on EVERY LEVEL and probably the most fun I’ll have at the theater this year

IT IS TIME!

Registering for Paramount Plus for one single month just so I can watch the Tony Awards tonight, because apparently that's just where we're at now 🤦‍♀️

My trip from Thursday to Sunday is looking super fun 😂😭 oh god please just kill me now, between the weather and the sportsball (Although my dreams of a Knicks sweep have not yet been crushed so MAYBE I WILL GET LUCKY?)

why are idiots partying and setting off loud banging things a month early jfc

Look at this lovely collection of mailbox shinies from my beautiful friend @miyamorana.bsky.social!! 🥹💖 She recently went to a con and was so kind to get me autographs for two of my favorite collections for my birthday, from actors who don’t really do cons in the states. Thank you so so much bb!!!

Shenanigans math: If I buy my Halloween Lost Boys ticket now, it will likely be cheaper than buying it after tomorrow if it wins literally any of the 12 Tonys it's nom'd for OTOH, that leaves me with less to spend at SpaceCon OTOOH, less to spend at SpaceCon means less stupid spending at SpaceCon

Here we are, once again using fic as a form of therapy. archiveofourown.org/works/86228791

😢

Actively devastated by THAT news, fuck fuck FUCK YOU 2026

Repeating “It’s Friday” like a fucking mantra to get through this day because MY GOD did everyone save their stupid for the end of the week
