I helped llama with the last 4 spots of 2 different stamp rallies before I did anything else. she asked if I wanted to do one myself and I told her "no thank you, I choose life"

it took me about 4-5 hours to just shimmy through all of artist alley, not looking at most booths for very long, and pretty much every aisle was like that

oh god

I didn't buy too many things this time around, partially cuz I don't have an obsession with anything right now and partially cuz there are just too many pretty things out there and I had to be REALLY discerning with what I bought, so I went the other extreme and didn't buy as much :')

godspeed soldier

I'll take pics after I vegetate, it was pretty much all small things and then the stuff I got llama

oh thats so many people

wildmichimon:

flamesonthesideofmyface: timepiecery: s o b too many people

God save anyone who isn't an extrovert or has anxiety about being near people, cuz it was already pretty bad for me

ah....... i Remember

AX was a yearly thing for me during and immediately after high school... how did I stand it

I got out when it started getting bad and whew has it only gotten worse each year

oh god this looks like so much

songofkeys: tbf, it only got this bad in the last... 5-6 years? so.:|

flamesonthesideofmyface: YOU DODGED A BULLET

Sani_Caranza: that is correct

ANYWAY, MERCH HAUL

small but that's cuz I really hustled through all SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY ARTISTS in like 5 hours

AO3 pin was cuz I was wearing my AO3 shirt. And then I went to exhibit hall and had to take a pic next to these tall mofos.

no teenager should be this tall, how dare they

no one should be surprised that I got Kiribaku things, I haven't found a new obsession just yet so I'm sticking to these stupid boys until I do

oh dang the pin isn't really visible. it's got the ao3 format and it says

oh.

oh.

THAT'S MY JAM

720 ARTISTS??????????????

HOLE SHIT?

aww you bought xed;s book

wildmichimon: oh apparently it was actually 587 artists, but it was 12 rows of about 60 artists each row, so I just multiplied

it's a cute book!!!

jfc

:')

Hika 🌸✨Anime Expo D9 on Twitteroh my God?????

oh I did hear last year had like REALLY BAD co2 levels, cuz the idiots didn't turn on the damn a/c and there's just way too many people at one given time in the area, but idk if it was better or worse this time

I didn't experience anything like that, but I also function fairly well in crowded areas, albeit grumpily

Oh my God last year.....

But I mean the experience of someone who has to sit there and table would be different from someone who is in and out

I did spend all my hours in AA but that is very true! I was able to move around and get out of the crowd when I needed, so I at least had some air movement.
