SO.

To round this cosplay deluge off; it wouldn’t be a proper Con without at least one adorable story.

Standing at a random stall, faffing about with my camera, feel a bit of a tug on my jacket.

Look down to see this kid, a boy, must be about seven or eight.

Big eyes. Teeny voice.

“Hi Professor!”

Hugs my hip/leg because gosh damn he was short.

I sort of have time enough to give him an awkward ‘Well hello there!“ and a pat on the head before he freaking bolts back to his dad saying "I DID IT I SAID HI TO THE PROFESSOR.”

So yeah.

That happened.

I had a great time at the con and heavens, what a bunch of sweeties; very fun cosplays, and Canada is probably the only place I can think of where they could just have a table full of genuine swords and not be at all concerned about the repercussions (such as my bonkers friend Sebastian punching me with a gauntlet, thanks for that bro).

Also I had a very gentlemanly conversation with Bane; who knew that he would have such an appreciation of puzzles? Maybe he would get along with the Riddler better than I thought.

THERE WAS A MADRAS who was this lovely person and her also lovely Pokemon Trainer buddy and gosh

I don’t think you understand

there was a Madras

Madras

THAT WAS THE TINIEST CUTEST QUIETEST slightly disorganized CON I’VE EVER BEEN TO GOSH
