I felt your pain on the migraines, they're the worst lol. but yesssss loved seeing everything you bought and the fun sights and sounds of everything, and ADORED your killua cosplay! thank you for documenting!

[@its.gigirivera]

Thanks so much! I’m glad I took a chance and went even if it was by myself, this year I’ll finally be with friends. I’m coming equipped with migrain medicine this time bc I’ll have a wig on and contacts and I already know that combo is scary! Thank you so much for your comment ❤❤❤

[@TheFlauschig]

Would you say that Momocon is worth visiting for someone, who is from outside the US?

[@its.gigirivera]

Yes! Or I know San Diego comic con is a bigger one that people travel to

It's cool to see people of color going to cons.

[@its.gigirivera]

Yes it pretty diverse, miles morals was there signing , Sarah-Nicole Robles too the vendors were diverse too. They had workshops for black creators too like cosplaying and anime 😊😊

[@s-wo8781]

I just found out from this that a member of RUN DMC was there. Why wasn't this on my Instagram? That is a fucking legend! Come on now!

[@andreamorals3808]

I’m going to fan x for the first time! As a cosplayer! Is there any tips for cosplayers? And just tips for cons in general! From your first experience?

[@its.gigirivera]

I’m so new to this stuff too! But I would say bring water, if your old enough your own alcohol, bring a bag with items, a portable charger, take breaks plan and schedule what you want to see ahead, take in count of money for parking separate than the money you want to spend, walk slowly through vendors as in your don’t have to rush, talk to people even if you don’t know them :) ask questions and just explore, ask before taking pictures of people and or art, bring any medications you may need. For cosplay… I’m very very new but I heard to start out with something you can easily put together like my Killua outfit was made of generic clothing. So you can practice putting things together, if you wear a wig make sure the wig cap fits and isn’t too tight, a wig cap is a must, have fun with your cosplay and make it your style. Wear shoes that are comfortable for sure!

SOMEONE HELP! I have bad anxiety but going to my first momocon. So Yuri Lowenthal for example: he has a signing at 3. When do you line up? How long does it take? Like will we waiting for HOURS? What should I expect?

[@its.gigirivera]

I got my autograph from him last momocon, I honestly got in like the first day of the convention as soon as the autographed came out I was there before they were, some people don’t come the first day so I get mine then, you may def wait in line atleast 30-40 so it should be a blocked off time for autographs on your schedule, I don’t think for hours but you definitely will wait longer on a Saturday! Bring water bc the voice actresses came late last year so I started getting fatigue and dizzy bc I hadn’t ate yet so just bring water in line in case they are 30 mins late etc, you’ll probably make friends to the people your in line with! Have fun!! I’d get in like latest 2:45 maybe latest 2:30 depending on how many people you already see in line or not. If there’s no one there really then your good but if you see like 2:30 or before a line forming I’d get in it as quickly as possible

@@its.gigirivera thank you so much!!!!! I really really appreciate your answer! Makes me feel way better
