[ sw - tenel ka ]
Includes fake blood, Young Jedi Knights Tenel Ka/Jacen/Jaina!, food, endorsing different uh... foods?, fun in-character shots, US IN THE JUNGLE, Major Victory!, omg Long Walk nerdiness and JUST LOVE ALL AROUND, BEEYATCHES. XD

EXTREMELY PICTURE HEAVY BUT I COULDN'T HELP IT CAUSE OMG YOUNG JEDI KNIGHT AND LONG WALK LOVE. XD

No, seriously. 54 pictures under this cut.



SUNDAY!11:

OH HAY WELCOME BACK TO THE RECAP OF DOOMZ.

So this morning, we actually sleep till maybe 10! Which was a record! Costumes weren't too difficult to put on. YJK Jacen and YJK Tenel Ka. No makeup, no weird scarves or garlands of leaves. XD AND I LOVED IT. It was surprisingly comfortable and dude -- this thing has been my dream costume forever, yo, ever since I started costuming. I was always like, "I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO MAKE YJK TK COSTUMEZ. D:" And then finally I said YOU KNOW WHAT EFF IT and I did, and sure it's not totally amazing or WOW OMG or anything, but I'm super proud of it and will continue to add-on/touch it up, BECAUSE I LOVESES IT.

We went down to eat breakfast and we all hads lots besides our food. Actually, these pictures are from lunch, I wanted to fill this space with some pictures. XD


Tenel Ka endorsing Coca-Cola!


Jacen Solo endorsing sugar!


Emily endorsing grass!


Ashley endorsing water! Or... water bottles!

Carrying a stick around was all kinds of awesome. I kept using it to lean my face on, which you will see a picture of later. Besides the stick, Sunday was pretty awesome and we just wandered a lot. We searched for Kayli and ran into Erin and Ronnie and Jeremy eating at the cafe in the Hyatt, then we got a call from Kyle and realized she was over at the bar. So we meandered over there and found her and Cati and Linh and Sarah, who then went to a Doctor Who panel. Except they came back a couple minutes later cause they capped the attendance for the panel. >_< (Was it just me, or was it all fucking packed this year? Everything had to turn away people. Even the Cruxshadows was capped and people were turned away and that never happens. D:)

We sat and talked to them for a bit, and told them we were looking for a YJK Jaina, and if they saw one COULD THEY STOP HER PLZ. Cause we texted Kayli and told her we were at the bar, but we figured we'd wander around and look for her a bit too. This was funny, cause of course, right after we leave, a YJK Jaina walks by and they stop her. Then when we go back to the bar, THERE SHE IS. We all fangasmed and nerded out for a bit. And by all I mean like everyone who had stopped her and all of us who were still milling around. MINI-STAR-WARS-NERD-CONVENTION-HAY. We took a few pictures there and she had to go find her brother so we went with her. And it wasn't like a "hay letz take a couple pictures" -- I mean we sat down and talked to her and hung out and it was all kinds of awesome (and helped her eat Subway, HELLO SALT AND VINEGAR CHIPS OF LOOOOVE). It was like a geek fest. And I can't wait to see her at Anime USA, omg. ANYWAYS. We took lots of YJK shots -- Jacen & Jaina, Jacen & TK, Jaina & TK, the three, blah blah! Here are my favorites! Some from the roof of the parking garage and then in the office building attached to the Marriott. XD


Haha, hi we're dorks who can't all look in one direction.


LITTLE TINY ANIMAL-LOVING JACEN AWWWW.


Eeeee, Solo twins looking all serious and emo and ready to fight. XD


The butt-shot of that last one, with the Coruscant Atlanta-ness in the background. XD


"JACEN, THIS WAS IN MY BED YOU LOSER."


I love this picture. ;-;


Jaina doesn't care about Jacen's silly crystal snake fetish. XD


HAY WE ARE SO COOL. And Jacen is trying to look short. XD


JAINA EATING SUBWAY YOU GUYS. XD


OMG STAIR FIGHT!11


Too bad you can see me taking the picture like HUR HUR HERE I AM IN THE REFLECTION!11


Ashley took this awesome picture. XD


And you guys saw this one I took before. XD


WE ARE ON YAVIN 4, I SWEAR. D: (not crowding around and molesting a potted plant... seriously...)


Heeeeeeeeeeeee. Too bad I am so white. XD


GIRL POWER AND ALL THAT JAZZ. I love this picture. <3 Hehe~


LOOK MOM! TWO ARMS!!11


OKAY I LIED ONLY ONE. :(


It's always funny until someone loses an arm.


I actually really like this shot. O_O


This is me, poking Jason in the head with the TK stick as he comes up the stairs. XD


OMG GRANDADDY!!11

After Kayli left to go get ready for the Masquerade, we wandered over to the Walk of Fame -- cause I still had to see Major Victory and Feedback and Fat Momma! AND I DID OMG. There were people talking to Fat Momma and Major Victory so I went up to Feedback first (who was totally eating cupcakes) and I was all, "HEEEEE!" He was so nice and stood up and shook my hand and asked my name and said he liked my outfit and asked what it was and I told him OMG AN OBSCURE STAR WARS CHARACTER!!!11 And he went, "The obscure characters are always the most fun!" AND I SQUEED. He could've said like, "DURH DRUH PAPER BAGS IN THE SKY!" And I would've squeed. XD

So I got a picture signed by the three of them -- but this was only after IT WAS PICTURE TIME! Fat Momma and Major Victory came over to the little photo area and Jason was all ready to take the picture but they were like, "NO YOU COME IN THE PICTURE TOO!!11" So one of the assistants/friends (who was totally pretty and she had a Major Victory shirt on) took the camera and got a couple shots while we were standing around bullshitting. Also, when Major Victory introduced himself to us, he asked our names and shook Jason's hand -- then he gave me a big hug and HE IS SUCH A PIMP, YOU GUYZ. Jason had been holding my TK stick and he set it aside and it fell over behind us. Jason is all ":O! WHOOPS" and Major Victory just goes, "DON'T WORRY, IT'LL STICK AROUND." Feedback looked at him like he just killed someone, horrified at the horrible joke Major Victory just made -- and then he follows up the death look with, "WOOD YOU LIKE TO HEAR A JOKE?!" We're all cackling at this point and Fat Momma is hitting Feedback and Major Victory in the back of the head with her awesome fake doughnuts and shit I love them so much. XD


OSHI HAHAHAHAHAH!


O NO STILL NOT READY DURRRRRRH!


Heeeee! <33333333

After that, I walked over to the Ghost Hunters table and saw Steve at the table and I was happy (I figured Jason and Grant were off doing something around the con like they were last year XD). What later pissed me off was when I was watching the Masquerade and they EFFING ANNOUNCED DAVE TANGO (omg Steve and Tango <3) AS A GUEST JUDGE. I WAS LIKE WHEN THE FUCK DID TANGO GET HERE?! THEY DIDN'T PUT HIM IN THE PROGRAM. D: So I could've gotten Tango's autograph to match Steve, Brian, Jason and Grant's from last year but D*C DIDN'T TELL ME TANGO WAS GOING TO BE THERE. D: He's my favorite besides Steve. DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD: I mean come on, how can you not love him:

In his first true field job with TAPS, Dave was tricked by Steve Gonsalves into wearing a fake tiara. Thinking it was a headlamp, he then approached Jason Hawes, the leader of TAPS, who, after a long bit of laughing at him, asked why he was wearing a tiara.

LOVE. XD So yeah... I was a little bitter. D: BUT LET'S MOVE ON BEFORE I GET ANGRY AND SMASH THINGS. TAAAAANGO~~~

After the walk of fame, we headed towards our room and took a couple more J/TK shots before taking the costumes off -- AT THE PICTURE SPOT BY THE ROOM! XD


Dude, Jacen, I don't think TK cares about the snake. NO, SERIOUSLY.


WHAT THE KRIFF IS THAT THING ON YOUR LEG? D:


Jacen is all, "TEEHEHEEH" and TK is all, "..."


Then TK shows us how she really feels about the crystal snake and Jacen gets... well, killed by it.


This is what I did with the stick when I was lazy. XD


Aaaaand this is what Tenel Ka wants to do to Jacen in the books right now. YESSSSSSSSSS.


Masquerade! We cheered on Kayli and her brother (who did awesome), and then I saw Ashley and Jennifer in their Wicked costumes and I was like HAY I KNOW THEM!!11 And they did awesome too, of course. And all during this, us fools in room 852 were chowing on our awesome...


ROOM SERVICE!

And by that I mean ordering things off the kid's menu cause they're cheaper and then just feeling snazzy. Plus, more of those incredible nachos. OMG.

JKFHJKHDFHD LONG WALK COSTUMES. What sucked was that we didn't wear these for as long as we wanted, which is why we're definitely bringing them back again next year. I'm seriously excited. D: THESE WERE SO FUN. So we get the makeup on and such while we're watching the Masquerade -- and Jason and I are bloodying up the Olson shirt and so on. I swear it was like a huge Halloween Freakfest or something in that room. It was amazing. XD

We slung our belts on and stuck out numbers on and we were on our way! First, we're going up an escalator in the Marriott, and there's these two guys in front of me. I hear one whisper to the other, "Look. The Long Walk!" The other dude is all, "WHERE?" ... "Right there!" And he points to me -- I'm trying to pretend I don't hear them. XD "WHERE?!" ... "RIGHT THERE!!!!11" So they stop us when we get off the escalator and take a picture and I want to get all wibbly cause THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO LIKE THE BOOK.

We saw Erin and Ronnie and Jeremy by TRENDY PULSE and Erin was a tall, hot pirate, while Jeremy was an awesomely, tailored pirate, but short compared to Erin -- like we all were. XD Ronnie was in normal clothes, with Erin's Harley hammer. People were all over that hammer. They were like HEY CAN I GET A PICTURE OF YOU? And Ronnie was all, "uhm... kay?"


Erin and Jeremy! I shall call them EREMY. OR JERIN. XDDD AND STOP. HAMMER PICTURE TIME.

Here are some fun costumes we saw downstairs in the Marriott.


Reven! Erin fighting one of the Gears of War dudes! Fartans! XD

We head out towards the Hyatt and there's the dude I mentioned in one of my first posts back, the big buff dude who was out on the sidewalk and totally did a double-take at us and started going, "AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!" The best feeling at a convention is wearing a totally obscure costume and having that one person flip out over it. Cause then you both are on the same wavelength and you know you're not the only fan. XD You know, which is like me with all my costumes. I think the most popular "character/person/fandom/durh durh" I've ever dressed up as is actually... Poison Ivy. O_o

PIXOR TIME!11 I HEART THESE LIEK WHAO. D:


I love this cause I actually took it while we were walking. HELLO NERD.


WHAT A BUNCH OF EMO BITCHES. OH WAIT, THAT'S CAUSE THEY'RE DEAD. D:


BAKER ON BAKER STREET! <33333


McVries, blowing kisses to Garraty and eating macaroons. Peeeeeeeter! <3


McVries = smiley! (OMG you can kind of see the SCAR XD) and Baker = nosebleed. ;-;


WE'RE MORBID, SORRY. D:


I totally want to take this picture in a real road. Atlanta did not provide this setting for us without us getting run over, sadly.


MCVRIES WILL HIT ON YOU TOO, I PROMISE.


OMG EMILY THE MAJOR IS YELLING. DDDDDDD:


Pimp juice right here, BEEYATCHES!


Uhhhh, HARDCORE COSTUMING FTW!!11

We went in and took some more in the PICTURE SPOT (which you can see above!!11), even though it's not outside like the Walk. XD And then we went in and packed a little bit and fell asleep to the sound of D*C TV. I also managed to snag a short video of Spock -- since on of the Trek fanfilms was playing AGAIN. XD



MANY THANK YOUS TO ASHLEY FOR THE MAKEUP AND PICTURES AND EMILY FOR THE PICTURES AND MANY HEARTS TO YOU AND I OWE YOU GUYS FOOD AND MORE LOVE. XD

Monday was basically sitting in a car and being dead on the way back. Then taking a break and eating Cracker Barrel. You can't have a car trip without Cracker Barrel. XD Also, Ronnie teaching us different noises (the one that you hear when the Cruxshadows are close by -- and how Erin laughs and things like that, HA) and eating Taco Bell at 11 P.M. -- sweeeeet. We got back around midnight and that was that, yo!

Aaaaaaaand I get a text from Jason Tuesday that went: "I have a headache from exhaustion. Omg i'm like those drugged out celebrities." HAHA. XD

OVERALL, I HEART ALL YOU THUGS WHO WERE AT D*C AND I MISS YOOOOOOOU~ <3333 LOVE.

[info]see_aphy_be took care of those bullet holes -- I think she used some sort of wax and molded them and then stuck them on our heads. Hehe~ I shall ask her again!
