sorcyressI'm at Arisia, yay!
My brain has been kindof a mess lately, and I subsequently overpacked (which is fine, it means I have lots of nice clothing options) and then spent the entire trip to the con cussing because my bag situation was annoying (it being entirely my own making didn't make it less annoying).
But! I am at the con, and after a brief initial interlude in the room getting prettified, I was able to pretty well relax into it. It helps that I started with a completely stunning outfit that bewitched the youth! (Seriously, I looked great and got a lot of nice comments from everyone, but there were a distinctly higher-than-normal number of teenagers looking at me with stars in their eyes, which felt good. I like being proof that you can be weird and wild and everything you were dreaming of when you were young.
(I know because I would've looked at myself with stars in my eyes, and that's a good thing to remind myself of sometimes).
I wore the outfit to the Bridgerton Ball, which had rather more dancing than last year (which is to say, any). Antonia was calling, and among other people, Clara was playing. It was a pretty nice time! Speaking of teenagers with stars in their eyes, I danced with two separate people who I'd guess to be in their early to mid twenties, both of who seemed super excited and happy to dance with me. Felt good!
After, I did a bit of lobbyconning --I apparently haven't quite figured out what my angle on how to have charming semi-small talk with people I haven't seen in ages-- I ate some snax and had a bit of room quiet time. I've arranged with mom to volunteer some for Goat Check, which I'm actually looking forward to --I won't actually do any grading, but I like the idea of pretending to.
I hope you have nice plans for your weekend. I'll try to keep updated with pictures and things. Under the cut are a few for tonight!
What a good outfit! Last year I was feeling salty about fast fashion and I did a quite good thread with details of everything I wore. That sounds like a lot of work for 1:30 in the morning, I will try and add image descriptions and details tomorrow.
Photo of dancers, and also here are some musicians!
I changed things up a bit to be more comfortable.
Goodnight!

MOOP!
