VIECC 2025
Nov. 24th, 2024 11:20 pmI went to the Vienna Comic-Con yesterday with a friend. We spent most of the time walking around the artist alley and also costume watching and it was a lot of fun.
I wore the Jellie helmet and safety vest of my imagineer!Scar cosplay from last year, without the Minecraft balloons sadly because they didn't survive but I did add the "I've visited Scarland" sticker that came with the artbook.
I wasn't recognized once and I didn't see any other MCYT cosplay that I recognized either; though at one point I heard people apologize to a Dave Strider cosplayer for thinking they were TommyInnit (understandable mistake from a distance but less so from up close.)
There were especially many One Piece and Critical Role/LoVM cosplays this year, which was fun to see.
I also bought stuff. Tiny dice as a Secret Santa gift for a member of my TTRPG group, and some things for myself:

I bought washi tape. I have never used washi tape ever but the tiny dinosaurs were just too cute to resist.
By far my favorite is the snake though. It's 3D-printed, shimmery, very flexible, and it feels so good to just play around with. A bit too long as a one-handed fidget toy but great for both hands; my friend and I each bought one (hers is orange-yellow-red) and couldn't stop playing with it the entire time.
