i've put a lot of negative energy into the world over the past few days, so i feel the need to counteract that
- it was inspiring to see so many different styles. next year's theme is fashion, so if we can figure out a way to do this safely, then that's a good reason to be bolder, to try and recreate some of the fantastic outfits i've been drawn in
- it was nice seeing everyone be out and themselves too
- took part in a fair few photoshoots, though i have no idea where a lot of those are - might need to have some business cards made
- also got to use someone as a footrest for a pretty long time
- it turns out furries do very much want to help out when they see someone struggling (thank you to everyone that helped out either at con or by reaching out separately). (also the hotel staff were great as well)
- my choice in hotel was a bad idea for a lot of reasons, but it also meant not having to deal with the fire alarm at the con hotel going off at midnight and the associated problems that might have come with
- got to reconnect with artists and other people i haven't spoken to in a long time - with one artist saying that my comm was one of their favourite things that they'd ever drawn
- checking through old tweets for how i dealt with things in 2019, and the social anxiety was substantially more of a problem. i'm still introverted, quiet, etc., but it's difficult for full blown anxiety to take root when the pain is a priority. there are some opportunities i likely wouldn't have had without it; being in a borrowed wheelchair left me at the perfect height to notice someone's nixie watch.
(probably more later)
