    Some OC Questions

    Hey, all! This is a meme by gilgamemesh I've seen around Tumblr, and since I haven't gotten any asks about it there, I thought I'd post it here! Here's how it works: pick a number or multiple numbers from the list, post it/them in the comments, and in about a week or so (depending on how many asks I get), I'll post a follow-up blog about it! And if two people ask about the same number, that's

BronyCon: Thursday and Friday · 2:27am Jul 21st, 2016

Hey, everyone! I realize this is a bit late, but every time I've even thought of trying to post about BronyCon, my brain just went, "Uuuuugh..." I was still really tired. :rainbowlaugh: But I have enough energy to do so now! But before I get into that...

Everyone, please go and welcome Watercolor the Pegasus to the site! They've been here for a little over a week, though I've known them for a few days. They're super nice, and really awesome to talk to. Go on and say hi!

Now, for BronyCon!

Thursday
Well, Thursday was basically a lot of travelling for me, my very special somepony, and our friend. It took us about six hours to get to Baltimare, but it was worth it to see our friends in the hotel lobby first thing. There was a lot of hugging, and showing off of my Lyric cosplay elements to said friends. XD (If anyone wants to see pictures of my cosplay, let me know. I'll send you a PM.)

There was a bar trot that night, but, unfortunately, I was feeling a bit off and opted not to go. I did not want to make myself sick by drinking. Instead, I went and hung out with the wonderful Wing, and had a fun time chatting with him and his friends for about an hour. It was a blast, and they broke me a couple of times talking about Wing's stories. It was great.

After that, another friend and I decided to hang out at lobbycon (when you hang out in the lobby before, during, or after the con). Our friends and my very special somepony met up with us when they returned from the bar trot, and we hung out for a while before heading up to our rooms to get some sleep.

Friday
Friday morning, my very special somepony and I got breakfast together before the Con, then it was back to our hotel room so that I could change into my cosplay, where I excitedly showed it off to everyone who was awake. :rainbowlaugh: After that, I spent some time in the con center, where I ran into a girl dressed in an amazing Discord cosplay, who gave me a random hug. It was awesome. :rainbowlaugh: It was off to meet my friend Lunatone and his friends as they finished off breakfast after that. That was also a nice time, chatting with them. L and I had only gotten to hang out for a few minutes last year, so it was great to spend more time with him. And, over the course of the con, his friends and Wing's friends became good friends of mine as well. Though, I am getting ahead of myself a bit. :twilightsmile:

L and I left the restaurant to head to opening ceremonies, where I just so happened to run into another good friend of mine, Kirito-Persona, in the hall! The three of us sat together for opening ceremonies, then it was off to the vendor hall for me! I met some of my favorite DeviantArt artists and got some awesome prints!

Then... it basically turned into linecon for me. :rainbowlaugh: At BronyCon, you buy vouchers for autographs and/or photographs with the guests of honor that year, and seeing as all of the Mane 6 voice actresses were there, I could not pass that opportunity up! So I waited in line for a long time to get the vouchers, then I waited in another long line to meet Andrea Libman (voice of Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy). She was super nice, and I'd said hi to her as she passed by in the con center last year. So I managed to get her autograph, then I tried to get into another line. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any more autographs that day, but that was okay. I went and got some food and some rest in the hotel room for a while, then headed out to a panel. After that, it was pretty much BronyPalooza, the giant rave they have in the basement of the con center. That was a fun time! Lots of dancing and goofing off with my friends. Oh, and I ran into Discord girl and her friends at least five times that day. All in all, a great start to the con!

Cheers, friends!

You KNOW i gotta see that cosplay!

Thank you for mentioning me!:pinkiehappy: And I really want to see you in your Lyric cosplay:heart:

4103981
You are very welcome! And I'll send you a PM now!

Fun fact, I was actually walking with my brother talking about how hard it would be to find Lyric here, only to wind up bumping into her and Lunatone 5 seconds later... CONVENIANCE!

It was a blast seeing you again Lyric.:twilightsmile:

Also, line con is best con.:rainbowkiss:

4104009
It was a blast seeing you, too!

And yes, yes it is. :rainbowlaugh:

4103986
That is awesome!:rainbowkiss: I love how you even got the cloak and the ears. Thanks.:heart:

4104012
You are very welcome! And yeah, a friend made the cloak for me, while I managed to score the ears at last year's BronyCon. X3 It was pure luck that I managed to find a pair in Lyric's color. Most of the others that came somewhat close were either straight up brown or a few shades too dark.

4104019
That is cool that you found some in Lyric's color. Did you happen to see any in pure white like my OC's? I'm considering going sometime in the near future.

4104047
Oh yeah, there were plenty that were white! People were using them for Celesita, Vinyl Scratch, or just to wear them. Though I didn't see the same kinds of ears that I have this year. Mine are clip-ons, and the ones I was seeing were on headbands or were on elastic headbands.

4104051
Oh yeah:twilightsheepish: I should have known there would be white, what with all the white colored ponies in the show. And headbands will work. (I honestly thought yours were on a headband at first) I'd honestly prefer them, because I'd probably be worried the clip-ons would fall out of my mane or something. Thanks for letting me know:twilightsmile:

4104063
You're very welcome! And I was worried about that, too, but these clip-ons are very well done. They didn't move an inch!

4104073
Not an inch? Nice. Thanks for the help.

P.S.
If you don't mind my asking, what time is it where you are?

4104079
You are very welcome!

And right now, it is 12:24 AM for me. X3

4104108
12:24? Ouch. It's 11:26 PM here. I'm oddly surprised that I'm not tired. What about you?

4104112
Only a little. I'm a night owl, so it's usual for me to be up past midnight.

4104114
I'm a night owl too. Though, I'm rarely up past midnight. I'm gonna go ahead and hit the sack. I'll see you in the morning. Or...whatever time we chat again. Goodnight friend:pinkiesmile:

4104121
Goodnight, and sleep well! Talk to you soon! :pinkiehappy:

4104673
Next year indeed! Though I forgot to talk about the best part of Friday, which was also one of the highlights of the con. :facehoof: I'll have to do that when I get home.

Sounds like you had a blast

4107100
I did. I mean, I could have done more, gone to more panels, but I really regret nothing.

4110106

That's all one can really ask for. An event with no regrets

4110345
And I am glad that you stated it.

4110460
You are welcome, my friend. :twilightsmile:

4110862

That means a great deal coming from
You :pinkiesad2:

4110872
*hugs* Well, ever since we met, you've just been a great supporter, always cheering me on, always checking in and asking how I'm doing. And even during all my hiatuses, you've still stuck by me, even when I was gone for two months. So, really, thank you my friend.

4110885

*hugs*. I'd never abandon a friend :pinkiesmile:

4110893
*hugs* And I thank you for that, as well.

4110896


Friendship is something that if made right will never break.

4110910
Exactly. Here's to friendship! And may it always flourish!

4110911

*raises glass*. And with it May happiness blossom!

4110915
*raises and clinks her glass with yours* Hear hear!
