โœฆ At the end of this post you can see all the gifts I got during this convention. During these invitations as Cosplayer and Jury a lot of exciting things happen, but it had never happened to me that a company like Movilnet-E had this kind of special details with me, definitely things have changed a lot since the beginning of my hiatus in 2017 โœฆ

ยฟHas asistido antes al "After Party" de un evento manganime y k-pop?, ยฟno?, ยกyo tampoco!, esta fuรฉ mi primera vez y aunque al inicio no estaba convencida, puedo decirles que la experiencia supero mis expectativas: Buena mรบsica ambiental, recinto ameno, caras conocidas, lugares para fotografรญas, concursos de baile, conciertos, y hasta la presencia de una empresa muy importante ๐ŸŽฎ ๐Ÿ’›

Have you ever been to the "After Party" of a manganime and k-pop event before, haven't you? Neither have I,** ** this was my first time and although I was not convinced at the beginning, I can tell you that the experience exceeded my expectations: good music, a pleasant venue, familiar faces, photo opportunities, dance contests, concerts, and even the presence of a very important company ๐ŸŽฎ ๐Ÿ’›

โœฆ It was Sunday and as Venezuela always surprises us, an electrical system failure damaged my air conditioning that week, so an artist neighbor lent me a little piece of his atelier to get ready. After that we looked for @Pigritia to go to the salon, we had an interview scheduled at 1pm โœฆ

โœฆ โœฆ โœฆ

No sรฉ si el termino exista y si no pues lo vamos a inventar now, pero me considero una "extrovertida selectiva", lo que significa que no en todo tipo de eventos o reuniones sociales me siento cรณmoda.

I don't know if the term exists and if not, we are going to invent it now, but I consider myself a "selective extrovert", which means that **not in all types of events or social gatherings I feel comfortable.

โœฆ Many beautiful places for photography! โœฆ

Pero este caso es especial, la organizaciรณn TOEV me obsequiรณ una entrada con un valor de 100$ (a mรญ y a todos los Cosplayer Invitados ๐Ÿ’–) y la reuniรณn prometรญa un meeting especial con los artistas internacionales Cesar Franco (TE AMAMOS CESAR) y Mauren Mendo (es la primera vez que lo escucharรญa en persona, ya que el concierto del durante la convenciรณn me lo perdรญ ๐Ÿ˜…).

But this case is special, the TOEV organization gave me a ticket worth 100$ (to me and all Guest Cosplayers ๐Ÿ’–) and the meeting promised a special meeting with international artists Cesar Franco (TE AMAMOS CESAR) and Mauren Mendo (it's the first time I would hear it in person, since I missed the concert during the convention ๐Ÿ˜…)

โœฆ Here I met Niisamar! YOU MUST FOLLOW HER She is a member of Team Movilnet-E but not only that, she is a very beautiful, talented girl and has her own podacast โœฆ

โœฆ โœฆ โœฆ

El lugar del meeting era un salรณn mucho mรกs pequeรฑo que un salรณn de convenciones regular, eso me gustรณ mucho. Tenรญa muchos asientos, islas con consolas de videojuegos y un รกrea de fotografรญa con todos los personajes de Tomodachi Family (nuevas ilustraciones temรกticas exclusivas de la ediciรณn Bunkasai).

The meeting venue was a much smaller ballroom than a regular convention hall, which I liked a lot. It had plenty of seating, islands with video game consoles and a photo area with all the Tomodachi Family characters (new themed artwork exclusive to the Bunkasai edition).

โœฆ For this day CapnandoCosplay was of Sasuke and Orochimaru respectively, we all went crazy for them, they are simply fantastic and Nando (Orochimaru) personifies the character especially well โœฆ

No estoy especialmente versada con el mundo del K-Pop pero si me gusta muchรญsimo escucharlo (se agradecen recomendaciones en los comentarios, yas), lleguรฉ a seguir varios grupos a partir de la segunda generaciรณn, pero en ese tiempo estaba muy concentrada en la universidad y en prepararme para competir en concursos de Cosplay, lo que implicaba largos periodos de tiempo trabajando en proyectos (trajes/performance).

I'm not particularly versed with the world of K-Pop but I really like listening to it (recommendations in the comments are appreciated, yas), I got to follow several groups from the second generation onwards, but at that time I was very focused on college and preparing to compete in Cosplay contests, which involved long periods of time working on projects (costumes/performance).

โœฆ Larita and Nando being the most beautiful thing of that day, I love them โœฆ

Pero volviendo brevemente al tema de los lugares lindos para fotografรญa, lamentablemente el calor era tan apoteรณsico que literal todos los Cosplayers nos estรกbamos derritiendo, asรญ que la improvisada sesiรณn de fotos tuvo que cancelarse. Sin embargo volvimos al salรณn justo a tiempo para ver a los grupos bailar (ESA PARTE FUE AMAZING, todos los Cosplayers estรกbamos impactados por el talento de todos y cada uno de los grupos y solistas que se presentaron).

But back briefly to the topic of nice places for photography, unfortunately the heat was so apotheosis that literally all of us Cosplayers were melting, so the impromptu photo session had to be cancelled. However we got back to the hall just in time to see the groups dance (THAT PART WAS AMAZING, all of us Cosplayers were blown away by the talent of each and every one of the groups and soloists that performed).

Todos los personajes de TOEV estaban hermosamente uniformados, es muy bonito verlos moverse en grupo. Capnando, Larita y yo pudimos pasar un momento muy agradable porque no es lo mismo asistir en Cosplay a un evento concurrido donde nos dedicamos al pรบblico, a una celebraciรณn mรกs tranquila con un nรบmero limitado de asistentes.

All the TOEV characters were beautifully uniformed, it is very nice to see them moving in a group. Capnando, Larita and I were able to have a very nice time because it is not the same to attend in Cosplay to a crowded event where we are dedicated to the public, to a quieter celebration with a limited number of attendees.

Y con todo, de todas maneras, necesitamos arreglarnos de vez en cuando ๐Ÿ˜… muchos accesorios y en movimiento en algรบn momento necesitan un retoque (igual que el maquillaje). Btw! Momento apreciativo de mi Cosplay de Kojiro (ese fue un momento extraรฑo, no me gusta tomarme fotos a mi misma en pรบblico, sรฉ que para muchos es un gesto normal pero para mรญ es un gesto de egolatrรญa y entro en combustiรณn de la pena, pero me estoy esforzando por corregir eso y que el gesto al menos no me pese tanto).

And with everything anyway, we need to spruce up from time to time ๐Ÿ˜… lots of accessories and on the go at some point need a touch up (just like makeup). Btw! Appreciative moment of my Kojiro cosplay (that was a weird moment, I don't like to take pictures of myself in public, I know for many it's a normal gesture but for me it's a gesture of egomania and I go into combustion of grief, but I'm trying hard to correct that and that the gesture at least doesn't weigh me down so much).

โœฆ I think we all did pretty well, but I need to practice more public speaking and mic skills โœฆ

La entrevista finalmente se moviรณ al final de la tarde, y de izquierda a la derecha pueden ver a Capnando, Larita, Alice, Rebe, y a mรญ. Las preguntas fueron muy bonitas y pude conocer mejor el carรกcter de mis compaรฑeros. Todos somos bastante diferentes y siempre es enriquecedor descubrir cรณmo viven el Cosplay otras personas ademรกs de tu cรญrculo cercano.

The interview finally moved to the end of the afternoon, and from left to right you can see Capnando, Larita, Alice, Rebe, and me. The questions were very nice and I was able to get to know the character of my classmates better. We are all quite different and it is always enriching to find out how other people besides your close circle live Cosplay.

โœฆ Truly all the illustrations and pop-up material of Tomodachi Bunkasai is among the best I've seen โœฆ

Al final del dรญa, despuรฉs de un mini concierto en vivo, poder saludar y hablar unos momentos con los invitados internacionales (entrรฉ en modo tรญmido y prรกcticamente salรญ huyendo, me desconozco, pero sรฉ que siempre hay mรกs oportunidades para acercarte a estos espectaculares artistas, ya que son muy cotizados por las organizaciones de eventos y siempre solicitados en masa por el pรบblico, el seรฑor Cesar es especialmente muy muy querido) recolecte las firmas del staff y amigos en mi afiche del evento ๐Ÿ’œ โœŒ

At the end of the day, after a mini live concert, being able to say hello and talk for a few moments with the international guests (I went into shy mode and practically ran away, I don't know myself, but I know there are always more opportunities to approach these spectacular artists, as they are highly sought after by event organizations and always requested en masse by the public, Mr. Cesar is especially very very well liked) I collected the signatures of staff and friends on my poster of the event ๐Ÿ’œ โœŒ

Obviamente un material tan pero tan hermoso merecรญa sus respectivas fotos, ยกy es que el compromiso y el cariรฑo se siente en cada centรญmetro del diseรฑo de cada objeto! ๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ’– ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Obviously such a beautiful material deserved its respective photos, and commitment and love can be felt in every inch of the design of each object! ๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ’– ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Durante la convenciรณn mi hermano y su esposa aparecieron de sorpresa y el tiempo que pudimos pasar juntos lo valoro muchรญsimo, en aรฑos pasados jamรกs me hubiera figurado que mi familia se involucrara de esta manera en este aspecto de mi vida. Bless!

During the convention my brother and his wife made a surprise appearance and I cherish the time we were able to spend together, in years past I would never have imagined that my family would be involved in this way in this aspect of my life. Bless!

Finalmente, si, puedo decir que disfrute mucho la experiencia, y me alegra haber asistido. No fue una ocasiรณn convencional, y me sentรญ algo extraviada, pero no tengo intensiones de presionarme siendo que hace relativamente poco salรญ de un hiatus cosplayeril de varios aรฑos. Sรฉ que las dinรกmicas sociales, como todo en la vida, han cambiado (incluso dentro de estos cรญrculos tan especรญficos como lo puede ser la comunidad geek), pero nunca fuรญ ni serรฉ de seguir la corriente, tengo mi manera de hacer las cosas y mis tiempos tambiรฉn, y hoy mรกs que nunca confรญo en mi intuiciรณn para saber quรฉ sitios y personas, realmente valen la pena ๐Ÿ™Œ y el caso de TOEV, es el tipo de organizaciรณn con la que siento que puedo relacionarme (desde la confianza, la intensiรณn de hacer solo cosas buenas por la comunidad, el cariรฑo y la sinceridad).

Finally, yes, I can say that I really enjoyed the experience, and I'm glad I attended. It wasn't a conventional occasion, and I felt a bit lost, but I don't intend to put pressure on myself since I recently came out of a cosplayer hiatus of several years. I know that social dynamics, like everything in life, have changed (even within such specific circles as the geek community can be), but I never was and never will be one to go with the flow, I have my way of doing things and my times as well, and today more than ever I trust my intuition to know which sites and people are really worth it ๐Ÿ™Œ and the case of TOEV, is the kind of organization with which I feel I can relate (from trust, the intention to do only good things for the community, affection and sincerity).

This is a great time to be Cosplayer, Otaku, Gamer and Geek!
