@rotation Oh. I might give a kiwi. Maybe. Who's going?
-
@rotation Wow I'm getting a truly impressive response time out of their servers.
-
@ceruleanspark At the moment, I don't think there's anyone you know going.
-
@rotation Conveniently, I live in Beeeeeeerrrrrrmingum. I will have to look into this.
-
@rotation Yeah but I'm cool and famous and everyone should want to hang out with me, so that's a nonissue.
-
@ceruleanspark Some of the people going will be at the London Docklands the week prior.
-
@ceruleanspark *James bond repost here*
-
@rotation At MCM? Man I hope creepy lycra clad Twilight and Celestia are there again
-
@rotation Birmingham eh? Over a whole month away.... After that long I might just have enough for the bloody train fare
-
I love it how the Schedule consists of the same places we visited last September.
-
@ceruleanspark I remember seeing some truly terrifying Dashies last time I was at a convention there. *shiver*
-
@ceruleanspark From what I last heard, every man and his dug will be there.
-
@bitshift My words at the time were "My god, Princess Celestia isn't supposed to have a bulge!"

@rotation I noticed that. You reckon it's one of the guys from then putting this one on?
-
@ceruleanspark I cringed
-
@thelastgherkin Nah, it's a local lass.
-
@rotation Oh sweet, the city centre. That's like a 5-to-15-minute (depending on quantity of other traffic) bus ride for me, so I am very likely up for it.
-
@purplephish20 Me and Scoot actively recoiled. I'm all for cosplay but he could have made some attempt to conceal precisely how much he was enjoying parading around like that in public.
-
@rotation Girls? In the My Little Pony fandom??? *deskflip*
-
@ceruleanspark That comment males the whole issue interesting.
-
@thelastgherkin It's more likely than you think.
-
@nerthos Freudian slip there.
-
@ceruleanspark Incidentally, that was the turning point where, having not at that point seen a full episode, I almost ended up not becoming a brony, out of horror at part of the fandom. Luckily, I realized that it was only a small part of the community, in much the same way weird troll cosplayers (also in full effect at that con) are only a small fraction of Homestuck fandom, that being the fandom responsible for me being at that con.
-
@thelastgherkin Yeah. And it makes it even more funny.
-
@bitshift Were you at MCM london last year as a homsetuck person?
-
@ceruleanspark Yes to the first part, no to the second. I did try to locate the Homestuck meetup, but failed miserably at understanding simple directions.
-
@bitshift You were minutes away from meeting me. Me and Scoot spent a lot of time with the homestuck people because we found them amusing.
-
@ceruleanspark And I wasn't, to clarify, cosplaying anything, due to lack of ideas and preparation time.
-
@bitshift Cosplay Dave. All you need is a shirt, some jeans, and some sunglasses.
-
@ceruleanspark As "they" apparently say, it's a small world.
-
@ceruleanspark Certainly workable, and possibly the explanation (or part of it) for the overabundance of coolkids I saw while there.
-
@bitshift Even I cosplay Dave. Thinking of Cosplaying Dirk next time though, so I can legitamately hang out with the ponies too.
-
@ceruleanspark Yeah, that's probably what I'll end up doing. Locating correctly-shaped shades might be a little trickier, but I figure they can't be that hard to get.
-
@bitshift I already have the shirt and the fetish, so I'm most of the way there!
-
@ceruleanspark Wait, is there an official Dirk shirt in the merch store already? :O
-
@bitshift Yeah. 's been there a while.
-
@ceruleanspark Okay, then I need to get better eyes.
-
@ceruleanspark ...especially since it's one of the news updates on the main page. #doh
-
@rotation Yep.
-
@rotation I think permaybehaps I can do this. Just need to sort out stuff beforehand, but this I can likely do.
