The attitude is strong with this cosplayer. I felt like I was one of the demons being chastized. That’s How it’s Done!
Ottawa Comic Con
Abby Saja
There was something in the air, because these cosplayers were really embodying their characters. It was so delightful!! I almost started making popcorn from my eyes!
Rujinu
Jinu and Rumi, in all their patterned glory, stopped by the booth. I love that it’s post-acceptance of herself Rumi with the colourful patterns. (Although I just noticed her contacts, so maybe it’s right before What it Sounds Like?)
Zoeystery
Zoey is my bias, and I love her and Mystery together, so when these two passed by, I had to grab them together.
Couch Mira
KPop Demon Hunter cosplays were the ones I was looking forward to seeing the most this weekend, and I wasn’t disappointed! I wasn’t able to grab a Bobby cosplayer, much to my disappointment, or a Baby Saja, but I got the rest of the main characters, starting with the awesome @princessofthenorth as Mira ready for the “couch couch couch!” And yes, she made all those delicious treats from scratch. No, you may not eat them, they’re not actually food!
Princess Tiana
There’s something about a ballgown that makes my heart happy. (And I got a hug from the princess!) It’s always lovely to see @fadhilitheone
Beautiful (Belle) helper
If you came to see us at Ottawa Comic Con 2025, you were probably assisted by our Belle helper (if you were looking at the books). She read them all (other than the pen name stuff) this summer, and is enthusiastic about getting more people to read them. Living up to her costume!
(Also it’s her birthday this week, so I had to post her first!)
Thank You Ottawa ComicCon
Hello Friends, Family, and Fans;
This past weekend was Ottawa ComicCon, and it was a busy one. We saw lots of people, sold a lot of coffee, and somehow survived.
Every year while i prep, I wonder why I do it. It’s weeks of set-up, roasting, packaging, planning, and packing. I get all grumpy and introverted and worried.
But every year, the people make it worth it! In no particular order, I’d like to thank:
- Our close friends that vend next to us
- All the other amazing vendors
- The con goers that are both enthusiastic and genuinely happy
- The organizers, and
- The amazing volunteers that not only keep the whole thing running but are also some of our best clients.
Special shout-out to my family for being amazing. We couldn’t do this without you!
Another special thanks to Dragon and Pegasus, who were amazingly well-behaved and made us proud all weekend.
We feel loved, appreciated, and maybe a little more hopeful.
Stay safe and be kind,
Éric
