Ok! Finally the obligatory convention post!

Manifest 2011 was on last weekend. It was definitely the best convention I've been too. I mean Manifest is always my favourite, it's incredible just how much better it manages to get every single year.

This year i was dressed as Vriska Serket from Homestuck, with as my Terezi.



I didn't think many people would know what Homestuck was, it's very popular in Amercia right now, but i wasn't sure of the fandom in Australia, since this has been my first convention myself knowing what it was. At one point, i thought we would be compeatly the one people dressed up as something from it. But this thought was very wrong!!
Anyway lets go linear now~

arrived at my house super early, ready to apply our bodypaint. It was grey, and mine was tinted blue, hers green, though i put too much blue in mine and got it everywhere xDD Then off we went super pumped for the day.

As soon as we got there the first cosplayer i saw was Professor Layton eeeee!!!!! How i love the Professor~ Anyway i couldn't get his photo (i was still in the car) but i did eventually.

When we got into the crowd and started walking to pick up our tickects, there were so many people. And in the first few seconds we got asked for a photo! I was a bit dazed and didn't really know what was happening at that point, so it took me awhile to work out it was John (another homestuck character) so i was pretty glad to see we weren't alone~


Then walking down to the lines to get passes for the day, a really nice Fionna (adventure time) greeted us! She was so lovely and gave us hugs and told us about a Homestuck meet later in the day.


After we got passes we worked out what we were gonna do for the day. None of the panels or guests interested me (supanova is for panels, manifest fun and cosplay) expect for a screening of my favourite anime atm TIGER AND BUNNNYYY so we had to see that.

We walked around a bit to begin, and checked out the traders hall which was hugggee this year. I brought money but i haven't been buying any manga or anime lately (i havent read my Supanova stuff yet) so in the end i only got Chan's Ace Attorney bookmarks, a Companion Cube plush and a Mokona Plush.



We ended up watching two screenings Tiger and Bunny (i was dancing in the thetre and people were just like -.- or looking at me weird fsjkdfghjkdhgj) and Maid-sama! (such a good atmosphere in this one, everyone was laughing hehe)



I was glad to see people did indeed know what Homestuck was. Everywhere we went we would be followed by whispers of 'homestuck' and we took so many photos it took us half an hour to work out where the screening room was because every time we got the map out we would be asked for a photo. We also talked to heaps of people and got lots of hugs! It was amazing :'D

Unfortunally i managed to break my super strong epic homestuck troll horns. We were in the middle of where people normally do dances (it was under the pie this year though). I said we should do a Tiger and Bunny dance, and worked out Kotetsu's dance seen here www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHLx9F… would do.
But i raised my hands above my head to fast and well… :I




Oh and another thing worth mentioning was the Manifest Official Guide book thing this year. Opened it up, and BAM

My photo! Expect with my watermark cropped out xDDD


At 413 was the Homestuck meet. It was so epic. Everyone who was cosplaying Homestuck characters were there, we got to take group photos and some of them look really cool!



Anyway I can't wait for next years manifest, why is it so far awayyyy, but in the mean time at least there are other conventions C:
