PLEASE NOTE: All panelists and audience members were required to wear masks throughout this panel. This does make certain portions of the recording a bit difficult to hear, and I apologize for this [albeit very necessary] “inconvenience”.

This panel focused on how J.R.R. Tolkien incorporated the trickster archetype into his works – and no, it wasn’t just all about tricksy hobbits!

This panel focused on Jon Snow and whether or not HBO’s Game of Thrones did a good job portraying the character we all know and either love, hate, or are totally bored with from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series.

This panel focused on the first season of the Netflix show Shadow and Bone, and while we did make some mention of the books, it is almost entirely spoiler-free. (Any book discussion was centered more around the basic differences between books and show; there are absolutely no future spoilers.)

Panelists: Myself, Nami, Henry Hanks

Dragon Con 2021: 1 Week To Go!

Posted on by

I’ve been waiting and waiting to share my Dragon Con 2021 schedule because the one thing I’ve learned in the past year and a half or so is that all things are constantly, constantly, CONSTANTLY subject to change…but hey, we’re a week out so at this point if anything else about this year’s convention DOES change, I’m at the ‘oh well, I don’t really care’ point 😉

Friday 9/3
@ 1 PM Red Dead Redemption Fan Panel (Westin Augusta E-H)
@ 4 PM Red Dead Redemption Photoshoot (Hilton Steps)

Saturday 9/4
@ 1 PM Shadow & Bone Season 1 (Marriott L401-403)
@ 8:30 PM Nailed It or Failed It: Jon Snow (Marriott L401-403)

@ 2:30 PM Tolkien’s Trickster Tropes (Marriott L401-403)

As for cosplay…well, most of this year is going to be laid back. I’ve got a lot of ‘mystery question marks’ on this graphic, some of which are actually new secret cosplays (though admittedly, pretty lazy ones)…others are simply “I’m wearing a cute outfit this evening that’s not really a cosplay and I haven’t quite decided which outfit it’s going to be”…

WEDNESDAY
Find me in my Gang Goes to Dragon Con shirt!

THURSDAY
Day: Color War Outfit (Fear Street 1978)
Night: *New* Secret Cosplay (Hint: Jurassic Park Themed)

FRIDAY
Day: Sadie Adler – Bounty Hunter Outfit (Red Dead Redemption 2)
Night: *Possible* New Secret Cosplay…or a cute outfit, who knows!

SATURDAY
Day: Jungle Cruise-Themed Outfit
Night: Probably just a cute outfit 🙂

SUNDAY
Day: Edwardian Gown
Night: *New* Secret Cosplay (Hint: Sort of Dragon Con Themed)

MONDAY
Find me in my Gang Goes to Ice & Fire Con shirt!

Additionally, I still have a handful of Fantasy Bitch stickers, so if you see me feel free to ask for one!
