Second day of Vienna Comic-Con, I had a great time again. I was proud of myself that I resisted the urge to buy all the things, but I did buy one book (half because it sounded interesting and half because the author was very nice) and a Minecraft heat change mug and a coaster and a pretty bookmark with spooky eyeball art to hang on our kitchen wall and a ring. I don't usually wear rings but this one looks like a tiny sleeping blue and gold glittery dragon and I couldn't resist.

So much great cosplay again. Like yesterday there were many people in fairly simple store-bought costumes, especially in Akatsuki cloaks, and several Trafalgar Laws. I also saw a great Molly and Yasha (and I got a few compliments for my Gilmore's Glorious Goods shirt.) And three people in NHL merch for some reason? And while yesterday I didn't see anything for my shiny new fandom, this time I saw three people in Techno merch and also a Ranboo, an Alivebur, a great Quackity with yellow wings, and a whole group consisting of Tommy, Techno, Quackity, Ranboo, Dream, and Ghostbur. (And maybe Hannah? She was sitting with the others but I didn't recognize her outfit, not sure if she was even in costume, but she was wearing a flower dress and a tiara.)

I already look forward to the next one! And then Worldcon in Glasgow 2024 :)
And now I will stop procrastinating on studying, self.

I almost forgot about Vienna Comic-Con this weekend, which would have been a lot more annoying than usual because this time I have tickets! I bought them before they had to postpone the event, that's my excuse for why it wasn't on my radar anymore, but fortunately someone I'd told about it way back then reminded me.

It was a lot of fun today. I mostly walked around looking at all the art and stuff, played some game demos, went to a panel about voice acting in video games, and then to the cosplay contest at the end. So many cosplayers, and so many of them looked fantastic. A lot of Genshin Impact, I noticed that even though I barely know the game (LB was into it for a short while, which is the only reason I even recognized anyone.) Quite a few very cool Star Wars and A:tla cosplayers too, a great Jester&Fjord couple, and a wonderful Obelix. I only saw one Hades cosplay, a Hypnos, but unfortunately that was at the very end and they'd already taken half of it off.

I managed to resist buying anything because I knew I'd be back tomorrow, so tomorrow the challenge will be not to spend too much money, on books (that I am skeptical I will find time to read, my to-read pile next to my bed just keeps growing) and other stuff (I know I don't need a Minecraft mystery bag but. I kinda wants it.) I was looking for some art for our kitchen but sadly didn't see anything that speaks to me yet. Lots of very cool "I'd want this if it was one of my fandoms" art.

Right now I'm too tired to do anything but not tired enough to go to bed yet. Tomorrow I'll try to go earlier than today, and I'll take a break for lunch with my parents, who conveniently live not too far away. I look forward to seeing hopefully even more great cosplays tomorrow :)
