From my writing side: It’s Thanksgiving and on my cosplay page I started with a bizarre thanks, so I’ll start one here too. I’m thankful for the person(s) who broke into my apartment all those years ago and stole our laptops. Because of you, we were not only introduced to the delicious Keys Cafe, but it forced my partner and I to start over in the roleplay we had been doing since college. Because of starting over, we came up with the idea of “the Storyteller,” and ended up taking those rpg logs and turn them into “the Hunters” series and are now about the publish our first book, “Seeking the Storyteller.”
So thanks for being a jerk who breaks into people’s houses, because of you we got a book series going.
From my cosplay side: I’m thankful for the bully I got. I’m thankful for their ignorant remarks about my cosplay, because if not for that person, I never would’ve fried chicken in response, would’ve never written that article, and would’ve never gotten so many wonderful fans like you all. If not for such a simple minded individual I never would’ve stood up for myself and for others in such a way, so thanks internet bully, because of you I got the support of some really incredible people.
Though I guess honestly I’m thankful for fried chicken, for being so yummy and symbolic in such situations ^^
My heartfelt thanks: I’m thankful for all of you, for being here and following me. It’s really great that you take time out to comment on my posts or say things to me at conventions or send me messages. You all are terrific :) And if you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving for whatever reason, you still have my thanks today and every other day for now until whenever. Thank you to all of you for being fans of me and my work. Thanks for reading what I write, for supporting my work, and just being all around great people. When the books take off and I go on Ellen and do some sort of terrible dance, I hope you’ll still be there cheering me on.
My friends and family thanks: I love you. Short and simple, because you already know <3 It’s been an interesting year with some ups and some downs, but thanks for being here for all of it. From first time book publishings, to jobs I depended on being cancelled at the last minute, you all have pretty much kept me sane through all of it, so thank you.
Black Friday/Whatever Thursday reminder: behind the cut because it’s long.

I made a thing and I 100% encourage sharing it with as many people as possible through all means possible.
Amen
Even if they’re moving at a glacial pace, be nice to them. Ask how they’re doing. They’ve probably been on their feet without a break for the past six hours so please try and remember that. They probably haven’t had any nice interactions with people the entire day so be that one beacon of humanity that tells them you appreciate their help.
Especially with stores being open on Thanksgiving now :(

Shout out to all the closeted LGBT people who have to return to unsafe family environments this season. Remember that there is nothing wrong with you and that no, you are not a hypocrite for loving the people who raised you despite the things they have done to hurt you. Above all remember that you will always have friends who support you even if your family does not.
To my followers who need it, my inbox is open :)

Have some Holiday Princess Tiana cosplay <3 Will most likely take better pictures later once we have snow and stuff, or a tree or something. I didn’t wear it for very long because the con hotel was pretty warm, but we did at least get this picture :)

So I do have more Daisho con pictures, but I wanted to post this one, because this was the con of me meeting fans… of me. Which really, really blew my mind because I was not expecting it at all, and I really hope I didn’t sound too much like a flustered blubbering mess of “OMG YOU FOLLOW ME?!” But I probably did.
Anyhow, this is just one of the pictures, but I wanted to share it because this guy was a real sweetie. He was really polite to the point of asking if it was o.k. if he put his arm around me for a picture. I didn’t catch his name, though :( But he follows my tumblr, so whoever you are it was really great to meet you <3
And randomly on Facebook Daisho cosplay staff asked if I would be a judge next year for their cosplay competition and do a panel because they think I’m awesome and didn’t realize I was there? And just… uh… wow, holy wow!
Also guys I have fans whut? No seriously, whut?
Hey kids, here’s your friendly reminder that Anime Detour is past the halfway mark of being full, so you should register. We’re all set for next year and we’d love to see you. If you haven’t been to Anime Detour let me tell you, it’s a good time. It’s one of my favorite conventions <3
FINAL EDITS ARE DONE OMG! HAPPY VICTORY DANCE DESPITE OUR LACK OF DANCING SKILLS!
I finished the thing last night I FINISHED IT <3

16. I’ll love you if you bring Man of Steel over if we get to hang out this weekend <3
25. My idea of a perfect date:
I have two different answers. One is the comfortable date, when we’re just sitting at home watching movies or playing video games with like, pizza or Chinese food or something. The second is the fancy date where we go out to some fancy place and try fancy food <3 The dream date is the going out on vacation just cuz date, though I guess that was kinda Daisho at the waterpark…
