>barely any con loot
I'm sorry for the vendors, but it's a small miracle I even had the money to attend the con itself, despite having looked forward to it all year. Here's the combined loot piles of my Smooze bro and me, minus a small bag I got from Whiskey Panda and will post separately.
The real loot, to me, was the friends and memories we've made along the way. But I will especially cherish the tradwife Discord doodle I got from Andy Price, the serene Zipp art from Celia Kaspar (bought at a discount), the honorary EHM badge, the 4CC pin and Discord button. I gifted my friend a print of his favorite IDW cover, had him pick the reference for my Andy Price doodle for me, and we found that deserted Sunbutt tin cup he'll use as a pencil holder + those Pinkie and Rarity ornaments I will add to a /ss/ raffle package (since I likely can't join the actual gift assignments).
I'm most likely going to attend PCH, and I hope to see all of (You) again in the future. You are my friends, even though I barely see you more than once a year and I can't refrain from being obnoxious. Once I leave the continent, I will make sure to schedule visits to my old home around cons like these because they have been genuine highlights in my life. Cosplaying Discord is my pride and joy.
