(Sorry for taking a bit longer to get to then I wanted but kept focusing on different things throughout the days. But finally here it is)
Another Trotcon under the books. Though first I want to say I may have to retract my statement on this possibly being the last one I go to since there may still be room to go again next year or so.
But anyway, this time was pretty mellow. It of course wasn’t quite as great as the short and sweet moment the first time I went was. But I definitely had a better overall time then I did last year where there were quite a few things that didn’t quite meet expectations or just went kinda wrong at times.
I didn’t quite get as much souvenirs and merchandise as I did the past two times. But that was a combination of the vendor hall not having as much as I was interested in, stuff being too expensive for my budget, and/or I wanted to save money for other things such as some Nintendo Switch/3DS purchases. But here’s the pic of all I got anyway:
Basically a comic, coloring book, brochures, and a few commissions (One from Teej (Genie Rainbow and her Twilight) and one from the mod of Out of Work Derpy (Genie Derpy), Also have another commission on the way from the Trotcon artist which I’ll share here later when it’s finished.) Here’s some close up pics of some of the stuff too.

One thing I certainly liked about this Trotcon was of course the theme. Pretty noticeable already from the earlier pics but it was underwater themed with seaponies and all that. You should all know already that stuff like mermaids are 2nd only to genies in terms of favorite fantasy stuff. So at least theme wise this will probably be my favorite unless they decide to have some sort of Arabian theme that could include genies one year. Here’s pictures I took of the many sea pony themed stuff there.
Also of course I did get to meet up with at least a few people I’ve interacted with in the fandom. Mainly Teej/Pirate Dash’s mod once again, SoulDewLatios (mod of . WARNING: Sometimes NSFW. Also didn’t quite get a picture with him since we only saw each other in the hall for a short time), and (I had trouble finding him at first and didn’t know I actually did find him earlier. He just didn’t know if he would have his Johnny from Ed, Edd, and Eddy cosplay done by then. But we at least got to meet briefly in the Vendor Hall sunday morning). Here’s all the pics I got with people I met (Or saw again in the case of Teej)OceanbirdTwobitswithtomas
And that’s all I got. A pretty good time going again, I can’t promise I’ll be there next year. But unlike what I said earlier it might not be completely out the question yet. Depends what goes on in the coming months.
P.S. Almost forgot to mention I got to see a virtual boy there. Only played it for a little bit but kinda neat. Though yeah I could definitely see how long play sessions could of led to eye straining.
