2026.02.16: Happy Valentine's!
this weekend marks not just my first time having met the voices behind a pair of my favorite characters, but also a milestone in my journey with gender.
on saturday, i had told freeman that she had a hand in me coming to terms with what i wanted out of my presentation in gender through how she poised pomni vocally. it was embarrassingly emotional! i don't usually cry in front of people, but i think i needed it because i don't talk about this kind of thing ever even with my close circle.
she was very patient, and she gave me permission to take pictures with her holding the print i wanted her to sign; my own artwork.
the line for kovach's table was incredibly long (go figure, he is a fan favorite and he earned his popularity.) i hadn't really got my thanks to him to marinate because he was timecrunching to get to the airport, but i at least got to tell him so i feel like i did everything i wanted to do at the convention.
in the end, i was able to provide physical gratitudes; they now both own copies of the artwork i had them sign. somewhere out there, i hope my art is hanging on their walls. is it weird to say my biggest dream right now is to design a print for them to autograph for their fans?
also, have you noticed that the wig for jax looks different? i decided to give it a new hairstyle to better frame my face. it may change over the next features of this cosplay. hope you like it.
