[nostalgia] oh my god yall
curby&coughing
so i fly back to nyc tomorrow and one of the things i was HOPING to do while i was here was go through my childhood room, because i know there's shit in here that's like... useful and i want but ive never been able to sift through all the garbage
curby&coughing
because i never formally "moved out" i just stayed in nyc after college so... oops
curby&coughing
ANYWAY i was trying to pack tonight and found one shoe out of a set I thought I wanted to keep so i spent like an hour digging through a small corner of stuff
curby&coughing
i threw out an entire bag of garbage but. please travel with me through the things i kept because this is such a picture of who i was as an under-21 individual
curby&coughing
the stuff i kept:
- old pair of hot topic platform heels. they're so delightfully cheesy i dont know how i would ever purchase another pair.
- three pokemon game guides of which i thought i lost, to join the rest i have in nyc already
- one issue of a neopets magazine. it's just so fun
curby&coughing
- a very long pair of old converse shoelaces.
- a small purse that goes with my prom dress (that i still have), also assumed lost
- a pile of cd's of my most formative music before downloading stuff was a Thing. here's a list of what i took
curby&coughing
- every fall out boy album before the hiatus except for take this to your grave
- shinedown "the sound of madness"
- sky sweetnam "noise from the basement"
- avril lavigne, "let go"
- the dnangel soundtracks
- owl city "ocean eyes"
- yellowcard "ocean avenue"
- a burned cd of music from sailor moon
- bg music from the powerpuff girls
curby&coughing
more shit i took was:
- a plastic sword
- piano book of avenue q music
- bag of multicolored sharpies, i was very excited about this
- some decor i made for the first promstuck ever (they were model magic table centerpieces)
- a pokemon tabletop game. a favorite of mine as a kid
curby&coughing
and finally. my favorite objects i uncovered. was a pair of sock puppets made to look like eridan and sollux from homestuck
curby&coughing
many years ago i did a panel called The Homestuck Monologues, which was literally just a bunch of cosplayers writing Homestuck-centic skits that we performed. it was like... really weird, in retrospect, but people were so into it? it was all the fun of seeing a skit competition except it was All Homestuck.
curby&coughing
anyway. i did a feferi skit many years ago that involved her trying to settle eridan and sollux's disagreements. that turned into her talking to sock puppets and having them make out
curby&coughing
im almost too embarrassed to link this seeing as it's now nearly SEVEN YEARS OLD but fuck it im having a night yall
The Homestuck Monologues at AUSA: Feferi Peixes
curby&coughing
my original act wasn't recorded properly so i had to re-do it which is why my horns are cut off and there's no audience. but. i think i remembered most of the words.
fish deranged
oh my god
fish deranged
this is such a look into your life i love it
curby&coughing
im having an ENTIRE experience
curby&coughing
i also encovered a very well preserved shadowbox with a ton of small folded papercrafts of hetalia characters which i dont know what to do with so it's staying here right now
fish deranged
oh
curby&coughing
my room is just
curby&coughing
full of this shit
curby&coughing
like its NEVER been completely cleaned out because my parents have never moved. im still staying in my childhood bedroom with all of my stuff since i was a baby and because my mom's a hoarder none of it gets thrown out unless i take it into my hands
Puliway
it's okay somewhere on youtube is still video evidence of me being moronic as Demyx
Puliway
Sora Rhapsody
oh my god are you ready kids it's 2007
curby&coughing
HOLY SHIT
curby&coughing
OHHH MY GOD
Puliway
I'm very impressed I do the entire fucking thing.
curby&coughing
god this was jacon wasnt it
curby&coughing
holy fuck
Puliway
yeah, jacon 2008... which may have been year of the Lets Get Peppersprayed in the Face
Puliway
...or was that '09
Puliway
That might have been '09 because that was my last convention :-(
curby&coughing
i think it was 09, because I went to 2 jacons
curby&coughing
i think i can check
curby&coughing
yes pepper spray was '09
fish deranged
p... pepper spray?
Puliway
Yeah some dumbass unloaded at the con rave
curby&coughing
yeah some idiot sprayed like two whole ass bottles at the con rave
curby&coughing
i spent like 3 hours with the paramedics because it went up my nose and let me tell you. that's a bad feeling
curby&coughing
it was the con's announced last year anyway so i guess it could have been worse for the show itself
Puliway
straight up ran through the dance floor and I got sprayed across the nose and some really kind lovely person dressed as Naruto let me use their room and cheap hotel soap to get it off
fish deranged
holy shit
fish deranged
what an asshole
Puliway
My roommate Kate had a rash across her back
fish deranged
i've heard of people pulling fire alarms but that's next level dickery
curby&coughing
it remains the most insane thing to ever happen at like a standard con event for me
Puliway
mmh. Do you remember the Sora cosplayer who got it in her contacts and we were there flushing her eyes out with whole milk?
curby&coughing
and ive been doing 5+ cons a year for over 10 years now
curby&coughing
YES god i do. that poor girl
curby&coughing
im so glad she ended up okay because that was horrifying for a while
fish deranged
holy shit
fish deranged
did they ever get who did it or did they get away
Puliway
Yeah. I mean they were p. much arrested at the opposite side of the ballroom
fish deranged
good
Puliway
but it was a horrific shitshow and not an experience anybody would wanna repeat
Puliway
which was a shame, Jacon was a good fun-size con otherwise
curby&coughing
i recall them getting as far as like
curby&coughing
the con doors
curby&coughing
before they got the absolute shit kicked out of them as the cops were called
curby&coughing
jacon was a very very very good con. i miss it
Puliway
I distinctly remember singing the entirety of the Scarlet Pimpernel/Jekyll and Hyde in the hallway with one of the Marluxia cosplayers while hanging out waiting for the 18+ panels
Puliway
yeah they were... definitely detained. It was a girl flanked by two others who were kind of... pushing people out of the way so that she could run through and just unload on the room?
fish deranged
why are people Shitty
fish deranged
i mean I know why, don't answer that
fish deranged
but yike
Puliway
So it wasn't an incident that happened accidentally, people actually decided Oh Know What Would Be Funsies? If we Maced a Whole Dark Roomful of Dancing Folks
curby&coughing
yeah it was like. completely weird
fish deranged
i mean
fish deranged
you don't do that accidentally
fish deranged
i was never for a second under the impression it was an accident
curby&coughing
honestly i have NO idea why it happened. like to this day i have no clue why anyone thought that should be a thing
Puliway
I mean it wasn't something someone did in a moment of Some Weirdo Dancing Up On You panic
fish deranged
because some assholes think hurting other people is funny just because they don't know those people personally so they're not REALLY people
curby&coughing
it was literally just such an experience
curby&coughing
like for context here: i was 14. almost 15. this was like. i was not an adult
curby&coughing
this was, to my teenage brain, completely incomprehensible
Puliway
I was 22 and it was still pretty damn incomprehensible.
curby&coughing
god once upon a fucking time
fish deranged
i literally cannot imagine you that young
fish deranged
that's wild
Puliway
I was team moming that troupe with my stationwagon fersure back then... between. Y'know. Playing the damn fool in a badly cut bowie wig
Puliway
I kinda had it with Con after the pepper spray incident went down, though
curby&coughing
yeah i dont blame you. it's deffo a chaotic scene
curby&coughing
i was still young and able to bounce back after being hit by a fucking car basically so i was fine but. i think if i was this age and got hit with it i'd have backed off lmao
curby&coughing
anyway hi ink welcome to my life
Puliway
That and... being in the restaurant business is financially difficult to take bread and butter shifts off for
Puliway
your weekend tips are like 80% of your income
curby&coughing
YEAH that absolutely makes sense
curby&coughing
if you ever have some time to swing by afo at some point, let me know! i go every year
fish deranged
i have never conn'd
fish deranged
so this is like a whole other world to me
curby&coughing
honestly it's an experience i would say everyone should have at least one of
curby&coughing
but hopefully not with pepper spray
Puliway
I'm living in PA now, so I'm far from all the florida circuit
curby&coughing
oh damn, i didn't realize you were so far off!
curby&coughing

Puliway
