As someone who is a massive fan of this film and an avid movie collector, I immediately pre-ordered this film to add to my collection! It’s no secret that this film holds a special place in my heart.

I still have no idea how this became a meme in the Sonic fandom, but to see it in person is a whole different experience! 😭😅

I got to see the Sonic Concert in Orlando, Florida and was incredibly happy to hear “Live and Learn” from Sonic Adventure 2 performed at the concert! 🔥🤘

Celebrating Halloween by cosplaying Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil Requiem! RE Requiem has become one of my personal favorite games in the series despite still being the latest game in the series. Just like the other games in the series, I bought the game on multiple platforms and will eventually buy it again on PC.

I will admit, I wanted to showcase more of my cosplays this month but I did 6 Day Weeks at my job all throughout the month. On top of being severely exhausted, I barely had time to take photos of Leon on time for Halloween, let alone had time to relax from doing long hours at work. Plus, as someone who went on a several month hiatus from cosplay, I do need to improve my editing for future cosplay photos as I have limited equipment and space in my room but hey it’s still progress nevertheless.

Regardless, I hope you all have a fun (and safe) Halloween. I’ll be spending mine binge watching horror movies and just relaxing! 😌

I also figured why not share a throwback from this past March when I met Nick Apostolides and Angela Sant’Albano (Leon Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft respectively from RE Requiem) at Megacon Orlando. I wish I can relive that memory of meeting them! 🤩

Spooky season is off to an amazing start! I attended Scaradise for the first time where I had the honor of meeting Megan Lawless, who played Sarah in Obsession. Megan was such a joy to meet and chat with about the film and some of my favorite scenes from the movie! 😁

I had the honor of meeting Erica Schroeder, who I recognize as the original voice of Blaze the Cat and Wave the Swallow from the Sonic series in addition to various characters from Yugioh and Pokémon! I’ve been wanting to meet Erica for a long time and thanks to Tampa Bay Comic Convention, it finally happened!

“Good luck Silver!”
- Blaze the Cat

“You think you can win with that board?!”

Whether you sing-along or just want to hear some phenomenal music, I hope to see as many of you at my panel! Gotta go fast!

*I’ll be working on a playlist but if you have a Sonic song you would love to hear at the panel, feel free to comment below your suggestion.

I got to attend Anime NYC for the first time this year. I won’t lie, my trip as a whole did have some bumps in the road. My initial flight to NY got cancelled due to severe weather, which resulted in me having to fly to NJ a day later to ensure I can still attend Anime NYC even if it meant I could only go for two days instead of three.

Aside from those unfortunate events, I was happy to meet some cool people at the con and my selfies with them made this trip memorable. I want to thank everyone who let me take a selfie. Regardless of how short our interaction was, you truly were the highlight of my first time attending ANYC and I hope you had a good time as well. 🤝

I had the pleasure of meeting Erica Lindbeck, the voice of Daki from Demon Slayer as well as many characters like Black Cat in Spider-Man PS5 & Marvel Rivals, Blaze the Cat and Omochao in the Sonic series, Jessie in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and Cassie Cage in Mortal Kombat 11 just to name a few. Erica is a voice actress I’ve been wanting to meet for a long time and thanks to Animate Orlando, that dream came true! 🤩

“Blood Demon Art, Eight Layered Obi-Slash!”
- Daki, Demon Slayer
