home <3 (Patreon)

(Long update post about my life and the trip incoming!)

Hi guys! Last night I arrived home in Toronto after a long day of flying from Berlin, Germany to Frankfurt, to Munich, to Toronto. As you may have seen on my other social media, I've been sick again for a few days now and finally got to see a doctor this morning and got some antibiotics so hopefully that helps a lot and soon! I'm going to try my best to get all of March's patreon reward packages put together and shipped out soon, then onto photo editing for Felicia set. 

so sad I'm sick because when is it ever a good time to be sick right?? For me it affects a lot- trying to catch up on all patreon work, then also I won't be able to snuggle my newborn niece when I meet her for the first time this weekend, I also had to cancel the last session of my new back tattoo that was going to be tomorrow, I might not be able to shoot a new cosplay next week like I planned, and I may have to cancel the Pixels and Pints bar even I was supposed to host this saturday 😭 fingers crossed I can maybe feel well enough to go to the event for at least a couple hours, and try to get a lot of work at home done between rest.

Germany: Overall I had a great trip and met other awesome cosplayers and had a great time working with Realm. Twitchcon.. definitely had some issues there. I went over the gist of it all in my patreon discord already, but if you missed it, basically twitchcon was being really shitty & strict with censorship of us women working and wearing cosplay and them having problems with too much skin showing, (even for relatively tame costumes), AND at an 18+ event!! They also had previously fully looked over the Realm cards we were handing out at the booth and they OK'd them with the company- only to later ban us from handing them out at the con at the same time they came to tell us to change out of our cosplays and leave. I also had a few of my prints on display and for sale at the booth, ranging from sexy/revealing to fully covered body armor and costumes, and the twitch staff came and looked through them and said "this one's ok. this one's, ok I guesss.. this one no.. actually, better just put them all away." They refused to give any real explanation further than basically just saying it's what the CEO wants and that's how it will be. It felt very unfair, very misogynous and weird. Moving forward, I've taken a whole box of cards home with me! I will put them in April's reward packages which will be the first way to get them. After that I'll probably hand them out at cons I'm guesting at. :) I don't know yet know what I will do regarding Twitch streaming. I may look into streaming elsewhere when I'm ready to come back to streaming, I'm not really sure yet.

TLDR: I'm pretty sick but trying my best to get March's physical reward packages out now! Trip was very nice overall but Twitchcon staff/ceo didn't treat us well! aaand I'm happy to be home!!

(ps: I have more of the photos I took in this outfit I'll get ready to post for Potion tier later, but right now I'm prioritizing the physical packages!)
