It's not often I get to do two conventions in a year, but I did this time. I attended MCM London's second convention, attending the previous one in May.

Generally OK, same problems as May though.

I attended with Hazel Ferret joining on one day, bringing her Twinkle mascot and Coral The Cat (bringing her Charly partial).

I brought Y'shtola who took up pretty much half the room, primarily due to her staff. While offloading the boxes into the room, one of the housekeeping staff took major interest in that and wondered what was in that box, so I brought it out and showed her how big the staff was.

Y'shtola's staff is about 6 ft in height and reached floor to ceiling in the hotel corridor.

Coral brought her partial up on the Friday and since we would be attending the event all three days, she left her partial in my room.

Hazel came to the event on the Friday, bringing Twinkle:

I ended up being photographer for the group instead of actually going in kig since having all three of us visually impaired could be extremely dangerous. Here's a selection of the photos

On the Saturday, I took Y'shtola out for the entire day. She was extremely popular, and the hall was very crowded. She even got interviewed for an Indonesian cosplay channel on YouTube and Instagram, although being a kig, she couldn't talk and ended up flailing her arms a lot.

Only a few pics were taken by the group, although a lot of pics were taken by others. One or two I managed to scrounge in the later days, such as this one with databunny_cosplay (IG):

One of the main reasons I took Y'shtola this time was because someone I used to play FFXIV with (and had actually had married in-game) was attending. After so many years, Y'shtola met her in-game hubby:

And an obligatory selfie

Sunday, both Coral and I went in suit, and my FFXIV hubby acted as spotter. We got this pic, which I absolutely ADORE

I also got a pic of Charly with Tigress from Kung Fu Panda

But, come mid-afternoon on Sunday we knew things were coming to an end, Y'shtola looked sadly out of the window wondering when the next time she will come out to see the world

Other pics that we found after the event:
