AHHH thank youuuu sooo much to @jay_phoenix_cos for these gorgeous stage shots!!! 💖💖I still can't believe I was in the masquerade at Fanime after not competing in a masquerade in person since 2011 🥲. I had the best experience, both on and off the stage (and even leading up to the con meeting all my fellow competitors, staff, and supporters!!) I'm so proud of this cosplay, and I was so excited to show it off, and I still can't believe I won an award!! There were sooo many incredible cosplays this year- it was an honor to share the stage with you all!!!
I hope I was very kira kira on stage, both literally and figuratively 🥰✨️💖 also I get emotional every time I see shots from the awards ceremony, thank you @jay_phoenix_cos for capturing those moments, too 🥹💖💖✨️

ALA Recap!! 🎉🎉🎉

It’s certainly been the most surreal con we’ve attended. Our ALA was kicked off with wildfires, windstorms, and no power leading up to the event, causing us to miss the first day. Luckily we were able to stay safe, and we still managed to finish our masquerade cosplays (in the dark) and bring them to ALA for the masquerade!

We honestly weren’t expecting to win anything because of how stacked the ALA Masquerade always is, but we won Best Comedy Performance for our Castlevania skit!! We are so honored to receive this award because ALA was the first ever con where we participated in a masquerade, and this award comes exactly 10 years after our last time winning an award at ALA.

We want to thank the judges (@aicosu , @athel_artistry , and sarahspaceman ) for being so kind and patient with us during judging, the ALA masquerade director for working around our hectic schedule, the audience for cheering us on, all the ALA masquerade staff for putting together a great show and taking care of our team backstage, and all of our friends who came to the masquerade to support us!!
We also want to thank our team (@robot_unichuck_cosplay ), as always, for working so hard, going along with all our wild ideas and choreography, and attending all of our rehearsals! We did it, team!

Also, besides the masquerade, we held three panels! We really loved the warm reception we got for each one, and wow were they all packed! Thank you to everyone who came to our panels and enjoyed them! We hope you learned something and had fun. Also, shoutout to our panel helpers! We really appreciated all your help. 😄

Lastly, ALA has always been one of our favorite cons, and the community is so welcoming. This year, we’re so happy that we got to meet many online friends in-person for the first time, and also catch up with friends we met at previous cons. Despite the crisis at the beginning of the con, getting to mingle with everyone really lifted our spirits, and we’re glad we got to hand out so many ribbons! 🎉🎉🎉

Until next ALA,
Cheers! ☀️ 🌙
