PORTCON MAINE!

(this is a repost from my neocities page from 6/30/25! I'm going through and posting all the old shit on here)

OH M GOD ok so portcon was a TRIPPP but like in the good way

day 1 thursday - went in my rainbowdash cosplay, was pretty calm the first day since the artist alley wasn't open, however i got a ton of compliments and some lady at the mall took a picture of me for her daughter

day 2 friday - ARTIST ALLEY OPENED!!! very fun i got a few things from there but not a lot. most notable purchase from this excursion was a kickass asuka langley figure i love my goat i love my goat. i started off the day in aubrey omori cosplay but then because i didn't rinse the wig very well i kept getting pink all over my hands so i swapped to like, half rainbowdash. half meaning i had the wig and ears and makeup and rainbow socks but instead of the tail and the full outfit i just put on a blue dress i bought earlier in the day. me and my friend (who was going as ruan mei from honkai star rail) went to a fuck marry kill panel and of course i went up there because duh. SO many crazy options i had to pick who gendo ikari would fuck marry and kill from inuyasha, stone (sonic one), and guts from berserk LMAO.

day 3 saturday - BEST DAY BY FAR, bought the most stuff and had the most fun events. went to a cosplay dating game panel to watch weird ships occur and my favorite was alfonse from fire emblem x the actual cat in the hat. anyway i got so many pictures and compliments that day and it was by far my favorite. it also had my favorite event of the entire con, THE RAVEEEE!!! i started off as rainbowdash but after like an hour of dancing in a hot room full of cosplayers i took the wig n the ears n the tail off lmao but i ended up staying for the full time. they had a stage audience members could go up onto and of course since i am a whore for attention i went up more than once. the music was so loud and the lights and for machine were so nuts we blew the breaker and went without music or anything for like 10 minutes lol. i could rave for hours, but oh my god i was so happy to get back to the hotel and take a shower because i was SWEATY.

day 4 sunday - pretty much nothing happened on sunday. me and my friend took one last look through the artist alley and the mall, but ultimately we packed up the hotel room and went home because we were both tired as hell

overall 10/10 very fun times. this was my fifth year in a row going to portcon and it was the last year that it was being held at doubletree hotel. i can't wait to see what the holiday inn is like next year!!!
