Finally I got to go to a wibu fes, after 3 years of waiting. This was actually my second times at one, despite me being a huge weeb. I was eager to participate in the exchange of OC cards, driven by my curiousity about other's characters and my hope for making new friends. It took a while to finish my own cards designs, actually I made two versions of them, the first didn't live up to my expectation so I scrapped them. There were no particular reason for my OCs of choice, these two has no connection to each others anyway.
Also, since it's an event for weebs, I got to wear my best and most weeb-y dress. It's so pretty, the floral print was just enough, not too excessive or flashy; the black lace at the chest was delicately sewn together with a ribbon and the silhouette is just lovely. The best thing was that I thrifted this dress for a discount. Anyway here is how I looked on that day:
On that day, I went with my friend. She looked just like her drawing which was combination of cute and cool, and brought her gacha pack of badges to trade. We had to walk around a lot, my legs soon felt numb. It was a big trading center with spacious yard accompanied by picnics area, yet the booths were tiny and cramped. With so many people making their way through the booths, we had a hard time recognizing those who wants to trade OC cards. Then I saw a group gathered and traded so I clumsily butted in and successfully accquired new cards. One of those people was my friends's friend and the other is someone I saw on facebook. Afterward me and my friend went to eat dookki and had to wait for our number. The food was horrible and we both feel nauseous later on.
In the afternoon, we continued our hunt for OC cards as well as checking out all the merchandises. I caught glimpses of many familiar-looking people but passed them by, which was a shame because when I went home I saw their outfit identification post on FB. Another friend of mine arrived at the fes and she found the spot where OC card traders gathered and helped me trade all my cards. Here's what I got, both fandom and OC cards:
About the merchandises, my friend had bought lots of things. There were this pair of artprints she wanted but it was so hard to find the exact booth that sold them since there were so many booths bearing the same name arranged in a row. As for me, I only wanted to buy the man-cat badge yet when I arrived, it was sold out long ago.
Overall, it was a fun day. Though I didn't obtain the cards I wanted and didn't got to talk and make new friends, well I can try again. I would totally love to go to the next event!
His name is Flushdown, a Decepticon who transforms into a toilet. Inspired by a Robo Caper design, his seat is colored red. This is his Marvel G1 appearance and he is also a headmaster with a Nebulan partner called Jon who is obsessed with cleanliness. He got into all kinds of predicaments but managed to survive to the end like a cockcroach. May get along with Needlenose and the like.
His lore is basically surviving the whole G1 Marvel timeline despite being pathetic. He even got to save Megatron from the junk on Cybertron and came out unscathed from Unicron's stomach from sheer luck.
Flushdown's relationship with his headmaster is abysmal and often a source of headache. He disliked the Nebulan's constant insult for being a toilet yet when the shit hit the fan they synchronised perfectly. Near the end of the timeline, he and his partner merged consciousness(which is kinda unusual) yet they were still too different and that gave Flushdown split personalities.
For a long time I have struggled with making Vietnamese characters display properly on my Commission info page. I tried to import fonts that support the language many times but it did not work and I could not find anything related to the issue on the Internet. A few days ago, I tried again and it occured to me that maybe it's because of my UniKey settings. Usually, I use Unicode as my character set and Telex as my typing style. So I changed these two settings manually to see which combination work. Turned out that NCR decimal works with both Telex and VNI, the text finally displayed properly on the site and no longer looks like moon rune(well, it still looks like moon rune, but only in the code). However, it only worked for Time New Roman, as when I import the VnSouthern font, it became moon rune again and altering the setting seemingly had no effect.
In the end i just use TNR and leave it like that. At this point I'm not particularly interested in learning more about coding even though I know that my knowledge is barely suffiecient. It's overwhelming and my energy is running out, but maybe I'll try to study it again in the future.
I got to watch Transformers One with my friend last Friday night. We went to the wrong building and was late to the screening, but we still managed to buy tickets for later time slot which turned out to be a dub. We were the last people who stayed after the credit ended even though we ended up standing outside of the room peeking in when the after credit is shown.
These stamps are part of a stamp collection my relative gave me. They look really cute, I wish I knew who drew the Bulgarian stamps.
