(repost) I love Megatron and I want everyone to know that
Today and yesterday (Apr 18-19 2026) I attended a convention with my newly made Megatron ita bag!!
It took me a while to build it,, by a while, i mean i had to wait for days for my packages to arrive lol. i just bought an ita bag big enough for the plushie and some figures of him, and the other package was an ita bag decoration kit. thank god for the convenience tho cus the actual making of the bag took less than a week! HOWEVER though the color of the bag is off. I wanted a grey one to fit Megatron's silvery color :( i had to thug it out tho cus i do NOT want to return it and wait for another few weeks for a new bag to arrive. i had to convince myself that its good enough because the color of the bag had a blue undertone, similar to some versions of Megatron, which, yk what, good enough for me. But now I'm even more convinced that the color is okay because the ruffles on the ita bag decor kit was had a blue undertone as well so it went a-okay i think! yeah call me delusional or dramatic for the very slight change of hue but god forbid bro I'm an artist AND a woman so my view in color is twice as strong.
Me and my friend group were planning to attend the 2nd day only because one of us couldn't go. However, a friend who's already attending the convention came to me in my DMs saying someone was selling Transformers merch! but don't get your hopes up kiddo there were only TWO items transformers related. just Optimus and Megatron. LMAO... this country needs more Tranformers merch artists and maybe I'm gonna be one of them. they had pins and mouse pads of them. MOUSE PADS. I NEED ONE BADLY. and from the looks of the picture they sent me, there were only TWO LEFT. bro i kid you not I shot up and went there as fast as I could. dude i wish i was kidding when I say I've NEVER moved so fast in my goddamn life because I NEED THOSE MEGATRON MERCH SO BADLY. It'd be damn cool getting a Megatron mouse pad. i. need. it.
Anyhoo!! I'm at the place where the event was announce to be. and. its not there. what the hell. no cosplayers. no stands. no nothing. did the event already end?!? I stood there in the middle of the mall where there should be an artist event with my Megatron ita bag at my side. Perplexed, I checked my phone to see they actually changed locations?!? without being clear!?! I SPRINTED. I RAN TO THAT LOCATION. Hoping to get there just in time before they sold out. It was another mall adjacent to where I currently was. Then I arrived. Nothing again. its not there. what the hell. Sweat dripping, I asked my friend where the event is and they said it was on the 5th floor. SHIT I RAN AGAIN. I GOT THERE. VICTORY. MY MEGATRON MERCH! LETS GOOOOOO!!!-
They ran out of the mouse pads. I got the pin tho WHICH IS GOOD ENOUGH. The person handling the stand saw my bag and immediately knew what I was there for. the pin is secured.
Anyway...!! the convention was great, i think. not as many ppl as I thought there'd be ngl, maybe because the event wasn't as grand as any other I've been to before. It was a simple get together with artists and some mini events with it. I met with an old friend who liked my ita bag!! I'm super happy with it lol that people are seeing it and seeing my absolutely normal feelings of Megatron.
But srsly tho i genuinely need everyone to know that I love Megatron. Because I'm the type of person who's late every time because preparation takes over an hour and I'm still not out of the house. But for Megatron? I got out of the house 50 min after my friend sent me that text. Almost an hour but it sure as hell fast as fuck for me. I wouldn't even go that fast if I were late to class. Better late than absent right?
The second day was pretty decent, I still went with my friends and we hung out together. We went to an arcade as the last fun thing to do for the day and holy shit I never could guess what was inside one of the claw machines... an Optimus Prime plushie!! HOLY MOLY I NEED THAT. It was close to the claw machine where I got Megatron. I used up all my credits for it, which was at the time enough when I got Megatron, however it wasn't enough and I didn't get it :(( I'm saving up and coming back next time. Megatron needs his boyfriend.
ok thassit bye
