How to survive your first convention
Conventions are the biggest part of the cosplay community, without conventions, there would be no cosplaying to begin with, if this is your first time going to a convention this all might seem overwhelming, but dont fret my friend because I'm going to tell you how to survive your first convention and hopefully you'll have a good con experience.
Drink a lot of water and eat food
Sometimes we get so caught up in the fun environment we're in that we forget to drink water or eat, but you have to listen to me when I say DRINK WATER AND EAT, overheating and dehydration are so common in the scene, and veteran cosplayers and con-goers will tell you the same thing when you're in an inclosed area with hundreds or maybe thousands of people in a hotel lobby or a panel and you've been walking all day your body will lose a lot of energy and in some worst case scenarios something like heatstrokes can happen, to stop this from occurring you should listen to your body and drink water or eat something.
2. Listen to your body
With crowded spaces, walking everywhere, so many things happening at once, etc, you can become overwhelmed, I've been going to cons since I was 10 and I still get overwhelmed at 20, the best way to enjoy the con is to listen to your body when it's becoming overwhelmed, whether that be anxiousness, tiredness, or even as simple as your feet hurting a little bit, you should listen to your body when it's telling you to rest up or to eat or drink if you don't you won't be able to enjoy the con without feeling tired or anxious, with most conventions there will be rest stations or just a quiet hallway for you to recuperate yourself.
3. Dont be too trusting
Conventions are a great way to make new friends, however some people have ill intentions and you need to be careful, usually my advice is to stay in the convention area, hang out with people around your age range, and if they ask you to go to their hotel room please dont go unless your fully sure their trustworthy and even then I wouldn't go, another thing is to go to cons with someone you trust so your not completely alone or at the very least tell someone where you're going just in case.
4. Have basic hygiene
Now in the con scene, it's a little-known thing that some people don't have good hygiene and kinda stink up the place, now sometimes it can be medical conditions or something else. Still, mostly it's just people who don't know basic hygiene or don't care if you don't want to be this person, you need basic hygiene, for example, deodorant and showering after the day is great along with brushing your teeth, you don't need to be too fancy, as long as you don't smell your good.
5. Be courteous
With a big or small scene, you should be courteous, respect the venue, respect the people who work there, and respect other con-goers, you should also respect the people with vendors in the vendor hall and artist alley like putting products back, read the little notes that say not to touch, and not be dramatic about the prices, a small act of kindness goes a long way, so please be kind to everyone at the convention.
6. Always plan everything
Now this is me throwing in my two cents from experience, but I believe you should plan everything, or at least some things, planning on what panels to go to and planning on where and when to eat out is a good idea if you don't want to scramble during the last second, usually conventions have a little pamphlet or guide online of all the panels and events happening during the weekend so you can plan the day or weekend.
And with that, you have a small guide to surviving your first convention, now sometimes things can be unexpected and can dampen or ruin your con experience, sadly I don't have advice on unexpected outcomes but the best way to deal with it is to keep your head high and focus on the good if you can.
I hope this has been helpful, if you have any questions don't be afraid and ask me, my ask box is always open

Its Funny to see Couples cosplaying as April O'Neil and Casey Jones but the Girl dressed up as the 1987 Version while the Boy is the 1990 Movie Version instead of the Cartoon
(maybe because the women thought 1987 april o'neil is prettier than the 1990 version while men think 1990 casey jones looks much cooler than the 1987 cartoon but that's just a theory)

Happy Halloween to all of you.
Have my main halloween art in here but into two parts.
Luz and Anne as Ruby Gillman and Mei Lee: drawing a crossover friendship with a new one was a lot of fun thou.
Older teen Dylan and Dolly as Donatello and Amethyst: Of course it a voice actor references, i really like how they fit their personalities.
Steven and K.O as Wreck-it Ralph and Fix-it Felix: Just wanted to draw the Bad guy and Nice guy duo for them.
Cassandra and Carmen as Ballister and Ambisious: Something for my future AU of Ninoma for my next contest and yes i reall seen them as this lgbtq couple.
Kipo and Johnny as Manolo and Maria: Based of my older The Book of Life AU, they do remind me of them a lot, especially Johnny and Manolo having alot in common.
Star and Wayne as Barbie and Ken (2023 movie): Well, it a good match ever since i watched The Barbie movie on July, Star fits a lot as Barbie and Wayne is like her Ken (more stable and supporting couple of course).
Which one you like?

We will be going to Tokyo tomorrow and I will be cosplaying two male characters back to back because I cannot be tasked with existing around men over there, while looking like a woman
