Ok so i'm tired of having the same journal up and i said i'd give some reports on my con trips, so what better time than now, when i'm half dead, and back from my last con of the year.

Let's start with ASTL. It wasn't too bad, I had a lot more fun at last years though, but it was cool since i knew a lot of the people that went this year, and yet i still met and made new friends. I had fun with the d.grey-man group, Tyki is pretty fun to cosplay. Of course I had to do squall as well, and spent a good deal of time as renji. The best part had to be walking around with josh as my captian and my friend sarah, as he dead wife. I just wish my wig didn't suck so much and i knew the tatoos better. Also i wish i would have had the thriller dance down for sure by then. Oh well next year.

ACEN. I'll try not to spend too much time on each one or this will never end. I had a blast this year, I was the first or close to the first as far as tyki cosplayers go and i premired my Dark Link cosplay, that was fun. Epic moments included beating eric, (i'm still sorry about the sword) and pulling off the thriller dance as squall. Oh yeah can't forget raving as dark link and getting some girls to vonenteer for the yuri paddle as well as dance with me. It was still fun hanging with my friends and making some new ones, even if we didn't run into each other a lot.

OMGcon. I know my spelling is gonna be horrible, and I'm typing this stuff up as it comes to me. OMG was where i got my first full thriller squall vid filmed and uploaded. It was tiny though, that made me sad, not to mention hot as hell and the company i was staying with, well one was cool, the other i'm not currently speaking too....>.> Anyways I met an awesome old school tifa cosplayer, and I thank her agian for filming me dancing, and thank you too L for filming a second copy, even if you were giggling the whole time.

TNT. Made up for the smallness of OMGcon greatly. Their first con and they did a good job, it reminded me a lot of ASTL. And it was cool going with Link and Erin, and Cathrine. Also it was the first time i entered into a masquerade and our group won 2nd place, i was amazed we got anything. Also the line of camera's to record me dancing was great, hello youtube stardom. Yeah i'm a dork i know.

Archon. It just ended today, it was ok but not really great for anime fans. I wish i had something cosplay wise, that fit in a little better but it was good seeing friends from ASTL down there. Also no thriller this time around.

So that's about it, cons i wanna do next year as of right now, ASTL: I have no reason not to go.
ACEN: I should have more epic cosplays to show off at the biggest con in the midwest. And as for a side note, i will tie up and drag a few certain people with me this comming year if i have to, you aren't allowed to miss it agian!
Archon: just cause it's local
AWA: I missed it this year and i made a few friends down there that i want to see agian.

nothing is really decided right now aside from ASTL. now cosplays to do, i think i'll be shot if i don't bring squall and dark link to ASTL, i'm also suppose to have a hatori (fruits basket) cosplay if josh get's his cosplay together, Future trunks (not sure how i'm gonna do that all yet, link is suppose to help me with the sword if i get the materials), kiba (he's too fun not to), and my new thing is sho minamimoto from 'the world ends with you. obviously i can't do all of that at one con (or can I?....>.> so we'll see what i end up doing when the time gets closer.

Ok so apparently irondark didn't take down his work out of a change of heart, he got hacked. If someone responded to my journals by hacking him, i really wish you hadn't.

Now i'm being blammed for what happened to him. I would like to make it clear i did no such thing, any of my friends will agree i don't know the first thing about hacking.

Next if something strange happens to my page in the next few days or whatever, then it's probally obvoius i've been hacked, if that happens i think we all know who to blame, and i would appreciate it if you all report irondark, this time for harrassment.

I doubt it'll happen, this is a just in case sort of thing

Edit: oh yes since he posting all his traced art back up, you know the drill...

[link] he's taken all of his 'artwork' down and admitted he is a tracer, I don't know who all responded to my call for help but thanks.

But I've got a few people that watch me, and i know you all can appreciate REAL art. So that being said, help me get this guy [link] banned. I've already sent a ticket to the FA admins tabout him, but since I'm a nobody on there it'll be ages before they even look at my claim, i noted jessica elwood since he did a full trace of one of her drawings and she's got some leverage on there, god only knows what she'll say. I was just going to let it slide, me and a few friends got him banned from deviantart for his blatent traces but it's not so easy to get someone kicked off of furaffinity.

I tried to be civil with him on a drawing he did of krystal in lingerie that was originally a skunk in lingerie, drawn by jeremy bernal. I told him something along the lines of 'you'll never improve by traceing and you'll piss people off, trust me i know what i'm talking about and i'm trying to help you improve' and he responded with, and i can't make this up "go to shit" and then blocked me from making anymore comments on his page or submissions so i can't keep calling out where the originals from his traces come from.

Yeah he's not an american and his english is terrible, he can't even use a proper insult it's 'go to hell' you fucking idiot. Honestly people like this, piss me off, he's not even an artist, he's a tracer, i bet if i dig hard and long enough i can find a source image for everything he's drawn, this is not just simular poses, Alvin Earthworm took a look at him and laughed saying 'he's just a tracer'.

Well this petty tracer has like 157 people watching him, most likely because everything he submits is porn, ripped off porn at that, he's a damn disgrace to the art comunity, if this is the extent of his 'talent'.

Help me get him out of here, i don't care if you file report tickets to the admins, regardless of how small a chance it is that they will respond, send notes to some of the well known artists that you know he's used source images from without giving credit to them, or hassle him on his page and submissions, although that last one won't last long, you know why you don't see negative feedback on his drawings? he blocks all those that would speak the truth.

I've got a few other artists i'm going to notify about this guy, see what they say, i've told anyone that comes to my page about him, i leave the course of action that you want to take, if you do anything, up to you.

If i don't write this now i never will, and there's no way i'm gonna remember everything so it's probally gonna get edited a few times

thrusday: me and josh(neji/byakuya) drove up to ACEN, and me being the genious I am, forgot change, so we had to run one of the toll booths that didn't have a human working in it cause we didn't have change at the time >.> thank god the other booths did.
We got checked in and went to wait in the preregistration line, sadly only I was able to get that taken care of cause i had actually preregistered, they weren't doing at con registration a day early, hopefully they fix that next year.
Got my badge, and got into my Tyki cosplay, I met up for a photoshoot, although i look like crap in them because i tried to grey up my face and it totally didn't work for me, so no more of doing that, anyways we took some pictures and went to dennys for dinner and played cards while we were there, i got tired of tyki after a while and changed into my dark link outfit and decided to have IRT check in my sword and sheild, two problems though. My sword was marked with a pink peace knot that i then covered up with blue ducktape, and then they bitched about my sheild i got like three verdics on it, one guy said 'just tell them i approved it' another tells me ot cover the back with ducktape or electrical tape, and a third just tells me to carry it infront of me and not at my side *rolls eyes* they were so fucking anal this year, i couldn't use my gunblade because it was 2 inches too tall, 'approximitly 4 feet' apparently means exacally 4 feet.

Friday: so glad i wasn't there to suffer through it but ACEN had an epic fail, the registration line, between the staff telling people to go to the wrong lines, and the computer system crashing and staying down, people were in registration as long as 14 fucking hours! However my friends that were in it that long were also waiting in line at the front of the doors at like 3 in the morning and just slept there, sort of becomes pointless when staff fucks up your line order though. While they suffered i was out in my dark link cosplay, people loved it, i even got stuck with a regular link posing for a few minutes, they had us posing in various fighting stances and even me stepping on his sword simular to dark link jumping on link's sword in the game. Later I changed and went to the [link] panel, lots of fun, i got forced up to do the carameldansen dance, and then went to the photoshoot, grabed food cause i hadn't eaten anything yet and then changed to squall for some fun and later went to the rave were some guys showed me so basic break dance steps to try out next time.

Saturday: started off as dark link cause i knew there was a zelda photoshoot, and met with my buddy eric who was a white link, and now eric has an epic fail, he swings his sword, this is the big ass oni link sword he made by the way, and he wanted me to jump back, i blocked, and he couldn't stop his arm, the sword shatters and there is a crowd to witness it. It was so funny but i felt so bad for him, i've told him we are gonna gorrilla glue it back together. So i got some more pics taken in the zelda photoshoot and there was also a smash bros. brawl photoshoot me and eric jumped in on. Also my friend Celeste had her dark link cosplay but no sword and shield, so i didn't wanna steal all the dark link glory (she's had hers longer) so i let her barrow my props and i go and change to squall. Later that night i run into some friends and they got do see me do the full thriller dance. I have one full recording, a partical recording and several pictures taken during that epic win moment. I still need to practice it though, got the moves but the dance went too fast for the song. That costume was too hot to wear to the saturday rave though so i go and change back to dark link and chilled for a while, waiting for the rave line to die down, during which that time I got collared, XD. But that's cool, i'm dark link, with a spiked collar and a yuri paddle, perfect for the rave. I also managed to get two girls to make out because they saw the yuri paddle, i got one girl to spank another with the paddle, got people high fiving the paddle as i went by in a conga line, and sword fought with the paddle in the break dancing circle, and got cheered for it. Best of all i got a girl to dance with me, i snagged her as she was entering the rave, just pulled her up onto one of the plateforms and she danced with me, pretty good night, i partied till like 5:30.

Sunday: better known as aftermath day, i didn't want to move, but we had to check out and stuff, i went back and just found people to say goodbye to and stuff, one of my friend pulled me into this snuggle pile and she kept calling people over to snuggle, once agian i got forced by her to do the carameldansen dance this time as dark link, and i know it got recorded. We finally left and drove home, got back safe, and i just kind of crashed on my bed.

This year kicked the shit out of last years ACEN for me.

Edit:1 I forgot, on the drive home I creamed a bird XD, it flew infront of my car while i was on teh highway, couldn't really avoid it, that did a nice job of waking me an josh up XD, it's horrible but so funny.
