This will be a ramble of happy (Patreon)

With some commission pre-sales from some amazing folks who could help me out I got to go to a Big Comic Con for the first time in many years.
The Emerald City Comicon.
Bad news for a couple of you. I did not spot Demora on the floor. Sorry. No signatures could be got.
The good?
Hang onto you butts for a tale of blissful release. (Eww. Not that kind. ((No kink shaming though)) )
I got to attend for one full day. One, grinning, laughing, gasping in giddy discovery, visual overstimulation, filled day of Con walking. Wearing a very simple costume myself I was free to stop and talk to other cosplayers about their designs and props. I spent time chatting with a couple artists and writers. Saw some inspiring pieces of art at sooooo many booths. I was so overwhelmed with community I forgot to take many pictures. I did have someone get this of me. Grinning like a moron behind that mask. (see attached picture)
My body aches in the best debilitating ways. I am exhausted in such a way that it feels happy.

My spirit feels energized again. The experience of community shared over countless fandoms, all admiring openly others work and passions, was fulfilling enough to make me pause. Reveling in the pure adoration of the communities all playing together.
Much like the many communities here who remind me of my worth as a person. It fills me with joy. Thank you all for helping me find my voice through art and community. (Insert Vin Diesel, "We're family." here.)

I will be jumping into some commission work that is overdue. And soon (fingers crossed things don't shift south) I'll be jumping on rewards again. An announcement will go out at the correct tiers.
