Lo, I am Returned!

I'm back from this year's FanExpo Canada shindig, and it was of the awesome. I had a wonderful time seeing my sister and her family, geeking out huge with like-minded Canadians, and spending shitloads of money enjoying the dealers' offerings and the Artists' Alley.

One of the highlights was getting a professionally-done photograph of my kid and his cousins with Hayley Atwell.

Left to Right: Mini!Peggy; The Beautiful and Charming Hayley Atwell; Rescue!Bucky and Skinny!Steve

The boys seriously practiced smiling for the entire time we were waiting in line, and then afterwards Javier (Skinny!Steve) expressed his concern at Carter growing old and infirm. He wanted to know if she ever received the Super Soldier serum. I told him that no, unfortunately she didn't, but that he could fix that with fanfiction if he wanted. He didn't want to, alas, but I loved how he was obviously smitten with Ms. Atwell.

I was also able to take pictures of some of the awesome cosplayers:

The way the guys are posing just killed me. So cute! (And badass. ::coff:: Really.)

That's Captain America (Winter Soldier movie version) with Javier the Dragon Slayer. Next is Felicity and a lovely Genderswapped Arrow, then Harley Quinn and Black Widow--who are friends now after beating the shit out of each other (see the blood on their cheeks?). Last is my personal favorite: Daredevil in his black 'how the hell did I survive this long?' uniform.

I also got some gorgeous art, which I'll have to post at some point. Not to mention frame and put on a wall. Urk.

Oh, hey! I have a Tumblr account now! Please follow me, if any of you lovely FListies have Tumblrs! I have two followers and am horribly pathetic.

OMG!! I love these pics! I love how coordinated the kids are with their Captain America personas! And awww at Jav worrying about Peggy getting old. That kid is a keeper.

I'm glad you had such a good time!

Thank you. It was a really fantastic time. I hope we can go again next year. :D

Javier was so sweet, with how serious and worried he got. Obviously girls are not quite as cootie-ful as he'd once thought. ;) I do love that kid.

Well, and Peggy Carter is not your average girl. I'm glad Jav is setting his sights high. ::grins::

Such great photos! I'm so glad getting a pic with Hayley Atwell worked out. *^^*

Thank you! The poor woman must've been exhausted by the end of the day, but the kids were so happy. :D

Your pictures are fabulous! Everyone looks as though they are having a wonderful time. :-)

I followed you on tumblr, though I rarely spend any time there. Love the way you laid out your page, though!

Thank you! It was a really great time. The kids loved it. :D

And thank you for the compliment on my Tumblr! Obviously the format isn't mine because I have no clue about that stuff, but I did a search for a theme that included several links and I found one I liked. And I really appreciate you following me. :D

I wish I had a better feel for how it works, but it seems to be one of those places you must be on all the time to know what's going on, and I just don't have time for that! :D

I hear you. I can be a timesuck from hell, and very easy for anything you post to get lost in the shuffle--much like Twitter--at least with everyone I follow it's mostly .gifs and other pictures of MCU stuff, which is nice to look at but not very time-consuming. I also love the reblogging aspect, because it means you can have 'content' without having to wrack your brains for something. Which can be astonishingly difficult for me.
