[Anonymous No.8131320]

We have a con/roomie horror story thread, so why not have a thread about good con stories.

Go to a con and room with a girl I liked.

She says she liked me
She gives me head Saturday night while everyone else was in the rave

The only beta in that story is your friend going along with being a fake boyfriend so you can get laid

Yeah, cons are sometimes a little blast-from-the-past in terms of merch and cosplay. Makes sense though, since most people aren't to throw out their inventory and costumes after just one season.

Bad turned good con story:
>having sex morning of day one
>I was on top when something goes "splorch" and I immediately stop
>bf asks what's wrong
>I tell him to get me to the bathroom because I was having level 10 cramps and I might hurl from the pain
>he loads me up with pain killers and I tell him I'm well enough to go to con
>I spend the next three days with constant level 7-10 pain
>I have an intense fear of hospitals but would go if I actually thought I was dying
>anyway, bf was really patient since a 90y/o with a walker could move faster than me
>obviously couldn't handle cosplaying in this condition

Then
>last day I wake up and the pain was completely gone
>get into cosplay just with flats instead of heels
>Godzilla asks for a selfie with me
>got tons of photos of great cosplayers
>found a load of old pokemon toys that I collect
>got to hang out with a great silk specter cosplayer and her bf
>basically got to actually be social with people without wondering if my insides were being petrified

Probably not the happiest story, but after 72hours of constant agony, that last painless day was the best day of my life.

>Turn to him as he is sitting down and smile waving and pointing to my Foxhound bag.
> He yells out "FOX!?" And then calls me over having me bump in front of people next in line asking. Hayter even asked them if they would mind waiting so he could see the lovely lady first.
>Talks to me the whole time as Snake and signs my bag while I try not to spill my spaghetti.
>Leave line with huge fucking smile on my face.
>Hour later come back around expo hall and the ppl who were waiting in front of me still there waiting and session about to close.

This experience taught me to always say yes when given opportunities by staff. Also talk nicely to the people managing lines/booths. Always scores you invites to more private events at cons like PAX.

Something similar happened to me, minus hearing a "splorch." Was banging bf in missionary and right after he came I had horrible pain and cramps and started throwing up. I was a manager at Blockbuster (lol) and it was the first time I was opening alone, so I dragged my ass out of bed, popped some Tylenol, and went to work. I was hurling in the trash can in front of customers, and I finally had to call someone in.

At that point I was throwing up bile and extremely dehydrated, but couldn't even put a wet paper towel in my mouth without vomiting; my body was having none of that shit. Get to the ER, wait 2 hours before even getting triaged, until I got so weak I couldn't even sit up anymore and kept trying to lay on the floor, and my mom yelling at me how disgusting that was finally called attention to me.

The took my blood pressure and it was super-low, which is why I was close to fainting. I was bleeding internally, and they got me a bed, put me on a heart monitor, and IV fluids (the nurse said I was bone-dry dehydrated). Apparently I was just shy of needing a blood transfusion.

They gave me a pain shot and I don't remember specifics, but I had an MRI and ultrasound, and they finally said that it was an ovarian cyst that had ruptured and caused internal bleeding. After I was re-hydrated, they sent me home and told me to take iron supplements. Was and have been fine since then.

But holy shit that was some serious pain. I could barely stand upright.

Ever been on another floor only to a cosplayer you want a picture of just walk away, never to be seen during the con again? Better to shout than to lose the opportunity.

Holy shit anon, that sounds so awful. Hope you never have to go through that again. I had an ovarian cyst once, but it wasn't nearly as bad as yours sounds. Unfortunately, it happened when I was about 13 years old, in the middle of church. I was mostly just terrified, since I had no idea what was going on, and my friends had to practically carry me out.

Well I won't argue that.
My parents were basically new age faith healers so I grew up with no idea what warranted a doctor/hospital visit. Didn't help that my first hospital visits as an adult ended with them saying "we don't know what's wrong so go home and take a Tylenol".
I'm learning as an adult.

>ok actually on topic
I have a MLP cosplay I've worn to a few cons. For every gross dude asking for pictures and making inappropriate comments I'd get three little girls who would tell me I was a beautiful unicorn.
Those kids give me life.
