#Kira-Con

[the-knight-of-the-stars]

Bringing back the nogitsune whithout Dylan O'brien is a really bad move.

Nobody denies it was the best villan in the show, but a major part of it was Void Stiles and the dynamic the nogitsune had with Stiles. That storyline relied on Dylan O'brien's preformance to elevate intself.

Bringing back the most memorable villain whithout big part of what made it memorable is just going to remind us all the time that Stiles is not there, and if you felt his absence in S6 as strongly as most of the fandom did, well... this is literally a plot made for you to feel he is missing.

I really don't think they can pull this off a second time, specially not without that key element.

here’s my first attempt at a Jolyne wig in 2015… and here’s my most recent Jolyne wig from 2022!!

Practice makes perfect and while I’m nowhere near perfect, I’ve sure put in a lot of practice and improved a lot, and I’m really proud of where I am right now. Can’t wait to do another Jolyne and see what I’ve learned from the 2022 one!

Ok I’m FINALLY in a place where I have a minute and brain space to recount some of my Convention highlights:

I got 2 hugs from Nana Visitor. And she told me I look good as a Bajoran, asked me what I do, and when I told her, she asked what I do to take care of myself.

I also got told by multiple people that my eyes look similar to Nana’s (brown eyes next to the nose ridge?)

On Saturday, I wore my Kippah with my cosplay, going from Morning Services to Convention.

At one point, Robert Picardo was talking and John Billingsley was crouching down in order to surprise him and his face turned red. I thought he was having a heart attack.

I put my hand on his shoulder and was like “sir, are you okay,” until someone was like “he’s fine he’s just heckling Bob Picardo.”

Thankfully, he didn’t notice

I was a bit late for my photo with the (present) members of the DS9 cast. They had to bring Penny Johnson-Jerald back, but everyone was very gracious, understanding, and sweet.

“Who am I taking a picture with! Oh my goodness, you are too cute,” she (Penny Johnson-Jerald) also wanted to know my first and last name

They stationed Rosie, my Rollator, “center seat.” Terry Farrell complimented my vest, which I crocheted myself, and very excitedly told me she just learned how to crochet.

(I commented that despite my disability, I am unable to sit still and was taught to cope with hyperactivity and keep myself from fidgeting too bad).

J.G. Hertzler at one point approached me and was like “that [my Rollator] looks handy! Can I take a seat?” And growl chuckled and clapped my shoulder ( Klingon friendly style) when I was like “that is not honorable.”

Later he stopped me again. Apparently, one of his loved ones has MS, uses a rollator, but unlike Rosie, hers is not upright, and they are worried about it contributing to back problems. He wanted to know more, how to find one.

I asked Siddig a somewhat rambling question about Julian’s disability, Eugenics, and how that may have affected his relationship to other disabled characters, and disability in trek vs our Society as a whole.

I had my hand up for a minute and he was like “relax, you got next question” I was kind of embarrassed but then he was like “I don’t think you’re hyperactive, I just want you to not exhaust yourself“

He listened attentively, and he gave a vent like answer where he was like “I see your concerns about Star Trek obscuring / erasing disability… my general thoughts are that we are all racist (i was born in Arab Africa, in Sudan, riddled by geopolitical conflicts, Africans are also racist) we are all ableist, and all have the potential to be disabled . And unfortunately, it’s your job to appeal to me as an able bodied person, and my job to appeal to [another audience member] as a brown person …And why we need to work to change laws first, before we work on everything else. Sorry, didn’t mean to get all political.”

Later, I was sitting outside the venue for mingling because of autism ears and photosensitivity.

And he approached me and was like “hey, how are you doing? I just wanted to check in on you.”

Naturally, I aspirated my saliva and stammered something about avoiding the noise and migraines.

I didn’t think he remembered my name (one point I was attempting to steer around him and he was like “so sorry, sweet thing,”) but later when he was signing my autograph! He did! I did have to spell it, but I usually do anyways bc it’s spelled not the typical way.

At one point, I dropped a change of clothes I had packed and Bonnie Gordon came up to me “Darling, I thought your days as a stripper were over.”

Thank goodness I developed a tolerance for making a damn fool of myself.

There’s so much more. I met many cool people, including several folks I knew previously only on tumblr (hi, @xenobotanist @philosopherking1887 @cardassiangoodreads @ettaberrytea and multiple others I am forgetting just now) I got to hang out IRL with some people from the SidCity Social Club, which previously I only lurked at.

I’m still absolutely filled up with warmth. Like I can take anything

#sorry this is so long #and sappy #last year was incredibly difficult #it’s gotten so much better but I’ve still been really isolated in many ways #Star Trek #convention #dni con #ds9 #voy #ent #disability #Rosie the Rollator #julian bashir #siddig el fadil #nana visitor #jg herzler #martok #kira nerys #terry farrell #penny johnson jerald #jadzia dax #kasidy yates #ramblings #personal shit #ngl there’s a demon on my shoulder that’s like “they were nice bc you were the poor little cripple” #but sometimes you have to take kindness at face value #and I also truly think Siddig is among the kindest people I’ve met

additional highlights from dark crystal con:

* helena smee said the lamp Mira picks up was suprisingly heavy, but she does feel that it gave the motion more reality and groundedness, because Mira (Helena) reacts to the weight naturally

* kat smee and helena smee are sisters!

* kat smee said she was performing a musician podling during the skeksis dining scenes (in which helena was playing the collector), and it was an incredible sight because since all puppeteers were under the table, in real time no puppeteer could be seen, so she was looking down at the balcony at a bunch of skeksis feasting!  she said it was quite a sight

* helena smee talked about having fun puppeteering SkekLach The Collector because she is a more socially uninhibited skeksis and can make more fun movements

* kat smee said everyone was always excited for days they would puppeteer podlings, as these smaller puppets were easier on the body to puppeteer.  Dzenpo!!!

* brian meehl (dying mystic master 1982 OG) said he had to re-record the audio for the dying UrSu speech many times over many months because of the constant script re-writes.

* Steven Garlick (Jen) and Lisa Maxwell (Kira) spoke of three overall read-throughs that occurred while recording their voiceovers - 1, in their natural english accents, a 2nd, in affected American accents (they were both very young and at the start of their careers, so apparently the american accents weren’t the best), and 3rd, a take that was somewhere in-between - this last one was the take that was kept.  

* i mentioned to Tim Rose how much I like when SkekShod turns to tell SkekZok, “you should be emperor”, he turns, not the short way, which would have been away from the camera towards the SkekZok, but the long way, which is towards the camera towards the ritual master.  Tim Rose laughed and said “that would be because I couldn’t see where he was!!!”

these screenshots don’t do it justice - it’s a very funny dramatic turn.   possibly 270 degrees XD

* In a panel, when asked what additional stories he would like to tell in the Dark Crystal Universe, J M Lee said he would like to have a series about Tavra and Onica.   (here, here!)

* the costuming department worked in an odd space that had a disco ball.  eventually they figured out how to turn it on! (intel from the costuming panel)

* in a panel, Neil Sterenberg said he was very excited to say some of Rian’s speeches, because as a puppeteer mainly performing children’s cinema, he has never had an opportunity to say such dramatic speeches, and will never again have such an opportunity (his words), and it was great fun to plan how Rian was going to deliver those lines.

Kira and Jack will take part in the Comic Con Experience 2023 #CCXP2023 in Brazil this Saturday to talk about the new Thundermans Movie #TheThundermansReturn !!!

At the moment there is not much information about this event, but Kira has already confirmed that she is coming to Sao Paulo (therefore I'm pretty sure Jack will be there in person too - but he hasn't posted about it yet).

This is really exciting!!!

I hope that some videos of their event will be shared afterwards, but a fanpage of Kira will also be present and report (hopefully filming will be allowed):

yotsuba arc lawlightmane dark comedy romcom when

#yotsuba lawlight this. yotsuba lawlight that. when will we acknowledge yotsuba misa is the funniest character ever #oh like she knows technically she was kira and so was light but she cant tell anyone Also she can see rem But she doesnt have the eyes #or a death note! so she is just sitting on this information going :]] every time L or light bring it up #because obviously light so so wants to bring kira to justice and keeps telling ryuzaki this :] so loudly :] #and meanwhile L KNOWS the whole time light and misa were kira he's just waiting to learn the details and prove it #what if they couldnt get to higuchi so quickly. what if he managed to dispose of the notebook before it was retrieved by the taskforce #how long could she keep this con going #oh yeah anyway. lawlightmane is like that tweet about Polycule Except It's Just A Relationship But There's Also Some Guy There #misa is the some guy 50% of the time but light is the some guy like a solid 40% of the time. this is real and true #dn.posting

[greensaplinggrace]

honestly light is the fakest fuck ever, and I find myself thoroughly rebuffed by any interpretation of him, memory or no, where he isn’t constantly putting on an act that only L is constantly calling him out on

#light yagami #death note #l lawliet #lawlight #ahskshsj anyways I love yotsuba light but also… it is frustrating #also fics where he turns into the softest uwu baby ever if he’s not Kira :/ #like you cannot convince me a non Kira light wouldn’t still notice the cameras or play mind games with L or be suspiciously good at acting #I’m half convinced he’d still try to con raye into showing identity even WITHOUT being kira #just to know who his stalker is and if he’s dangerous #i just want more fics where non Kira light is still just as cunning #him not being Kira but being suspected by L and acting the EXACT SAME WAY HE DOES IN THE SHOW is honestly something I can see happening #like UGH I want it so bad #anyways I discovered a fic recently where he’s still very smart after losing his memories and convinces the task force L may have framed him #and it was such good fuckng food #i just want him to be the same manipulative liar who’s an expert at thinking twenty steps ahead but like he’s not kira #myramblings

Quick PSA: Unfortunately it's probably too late for the con Station unity to cancel his appearance and it's sad I have to say this but if you or anyone you know is going to this like my Tumblr mutual is, please avoid DC Douglas like the plague. Do not leave your female friends alone with him. Do not accept drinks from him or let him isolate you from your friends or someone you trust, and definitely don't let him get you into his hotel room.

#serious post #kira speaks #dc douglas #con safety

[vampirecatboy]

made a (sort of) new character for next campaign and i accidentally made him really interesting and now i'm conflicted over choosing him or Aja 😭

#stuff and things #pros of new character: he's basically Kira #cons: he's basically Kira #pros of Aja: chance for a new experience outside of my comfort zone #cons: spellcasters aren't my forte and i have no idea how to play one #you'd think a guy who always orders the same things from restaurants #would have an easier time making this decision lmao

[theworldofthedarkcrystal]

highlights from the dark crystal con include:

* Elder Cadia has a facial tick inspired by the turtle-beak-like end to his mouth, to smack his lips.  You can catch him doing it in the powdered nulroot scene in episode 2 (thank you Olly Taylor for telling me this!)

* Lisa Maxwell, voice of Kira, actually developed Kira’s “talk with flowers”/”talk to the animals” language on her own!  Jim Henson had given her direction to make sounds “calling” to them, and invited her to ad lib.  She ended up drawing inspiration from her recent vacation to Spain!

* I met @timeagainreviews​!  yes, the creator of the SkekGra Pizza Parade video!!!!  <3 <3 <3 I was SO HAPPY and she is SO FUNNY.  a discussion of kermit cooking miss piggy Hannibal-style might have been discussed XD​

* hup is from an archaic, more formal culture of podlings that is more rare, which involves speaking in longer more formal sentences, referring to the recipient, etc.  basically he’s a glorious extinct knight podling (thank you J M Lee and Victor Yerrid for telling us this!)

* from the costume design panel - the gourmand’s codpiece was a squeaky toy

“L.” The Great Man steps into the room, closing the door behind him. A gentle ‘click’ follows, the door locked securely. It’s habit, but a good habit to have. In this business, there are no laid out rule for mice and men to run their plans awry. This is perfection, and perfection must be maintained beyond the laws and regulations of what society deems normal. The Great Man falters for a moment, clearing his throat before speaking next. A dry cough, He is getting older. “You were right. I believe we need to reach out directly to ICPO at their next meeting. Did you get the files I sent to you?” he asks. // * @mistytown — tagging on your new blog you bc this still hits

#/ * IC #/ * WATARI ( QUILLISH WAMMY ) #mistytown #falsejustice #i imagine this is like right before the kira case idk #but im excited bc i never write watari so #this is a good chance to get on it finally! #i will eventually make watari graphics #maybe when i get home from con since this inspired me
