The Road So Far: Planning For VegasCon Part 1

So I'm a huge planner. I like to have everything planned out way in advance, especially when it comes to big events. Which for me VegasCon is a REALLY BIG event. So I have a whole notebook dedicated to planning and organizing for VegasCon (I might do a blog post on that actually if it would be helpful to anyone, if anyone actually reads this lol). And I put pictures of the outfits I plan to wear so I thought I'd share them.

First here's my Friday Day outfit:
For the Friday panels I wanted to keep it simple. I chose my custom Ellen's DIY Supernatural t-shirt (not the one pictured, but very similar), leopard leggings and converse. 

And here's my outfit for Friday Night:
For the karaoke party on Friday night I'm wearing a Ruby 2.0 inspired outfit. My favorite was her 'Lucifer Rising' outfit: black t-shirt, leather jacket, jeans and high heeled boots. I also really like the idea of having "demon blood" and her knife on the necklace but I still need to find one or maybe I'll end up making one.

Perhaps the most important outfit of the weekend is my Saturday outfit:
For J2's panel on Saturday AND my Jared photo op <3 I wanted to have a very Sam/Hunter vibe which is why I went with the buffalo plaid shirt, but with my own twist hence the leopard bow. For shoes I'm wearing my motorcycle boots. And for makeup MAC's Ruby Woo lipstick and Kat Von D's tattoo liner.

And finally for Sunday:
This is the one outfit I'm not 100% sure about yet. I don't know if I'm getting a Fallen Angels photo op yet or not and that might affect what I actually end up wearing. My "outline" is inspired by the Impala: black leather jacket, jeans, converse and my "Saving People, Hunting Things" shirt. However I'm torn between that and wearing my Abaddon "The Devil made me do it." shirt with motorcycle boots. If I end up getting the fallen angels op I might want to look more demon-y. I'll have to think about it.

This will probably be the beginning of a series of planning posts, because I'm beginning to stress out about it and it keeps me sane to think that I'll have everything ready ahead if time. :)

The Road So Far: Road Trip

Supernatural returned tonight and as of today it is officially 2 months until VegasCon!!! Tonight's episode was full of ups and downs for me. So I'm going to do things a little differently tonight.

Things I'm happy about: 
1. First and foremost my Sammy is back. Hallelujah. This is really all I need in life, the moment I saw Sam again my heart was filled with joy. And the way he ejected Gadreel. "I SAID GET THE HELL OUT." will go down in Supernatural history. It was amazing. 

2. The fact that Crowley seemed to actually care about Sam and Dean. He wouldn't have agreed to help if he didn't care about them deep down. And he certainly wouldn't have been telling Sam to fight so hard. There was emotion and feeling in that speech. I think Crowley is turning a new leaf. I think he's going to change. I say let him become a hunter with some demon comrades on his side. (And let my bitch Abaddon be queen!) 

3. That Cas stayed with Sam. I've thought Cas cared about Sam all along, but everyone always talks about how Cas only has a relationship with Dean. What he did tonight was proof he cared about Sam. 

Things I'm not happy about: 
1. Obviously Sam and Dean being apart. The image of Dean walking away will haunt me. This is the first time I've had to deal with them being separated and not knowing everything would turn out okay. I can't understand why Dean thinks it's best to leave Sam. It also REALLY concerned me what Sam said about Dean not being the problem. What does that mean? This will hurt until it's fixed. I need my boys together. Plain and simple.

2. That both Sam and Dean blame themselves for Kevin's death. I was so afraid of Sam's reaction to what happened but now I'm feeling pain for both of them. 

3. That Sam said he was "willing to die." The fact that he doesn't want to keep going. That still hurts so much. That he still has those feelings from the first episode. Sam has been through so much, lost so much. But he keeps going. I can relate to Sam in so many ways and he is my inspiration. I need him to keep fighting. I need him to get to a point in his life where he's happy. And I need Dean to be a part of that too. 

I'm in tears as I write this. I can't express the emotions I feel for these characters. They've given me something to hold on to, something to have hope for. I love them so much and I just want them to be happy. I want them to finally get to a place where they are bonded for good. I want them to realize they can't be apart. And I'm hoping that's what we accomplish this season. The good news is Hellatus is over and I only have to wait a week to find out what happens next. AND. 2. MONTHS. UNTIL. VEGASCON.
