We take our anti-harrassment policy VERY seriously. Don't make us use it.
Things that make me want to stop cosplaying from My Little Pony:

🦄Somebody stalking me
🦄Emails to cons I’m working with spreading lies about me
🦄Catfish accounts using my photos for roleplaying
🦄People calling me their girlfriend when I’m not
We know the future of the fandom is uncertain, but the continued efforts and dedicated support of everyone listed above gives us hope that we have a long future ahead of us. We're very excited to announce that

What if we told you that one thing
#PVCF18
made clear is the passion for the music side of our fandom is as strong as it has ever been, and there's so many artists we want to bring you that we decided to add a second concert on Friday after the Gala?
Good afternoon
#WCPC23
! We've got a pleasant surprise for anybody who was wanting to swim and was disappointed by the news that the hotel's pool was closed—the outdoor pool may be closed but the indoor one is open!
Bug hugs to everyone that had their night cut short at
@HarmonyPonyCon
, and bigger hugs to the amazing staff and other kind souls looking after everyone. We know how much this sucks, but it's not going to ruin your weekend!
A new con but
@HarmonyPonyCon
staff was really good & on top of making sure the attendees got out safely & to another hotel to stay warm, a top notch con in my books. With
@AaronWaffles
getting hot drinks,
@prpltnkr
booking rooms & others helping out shows the best of the fandom.
It has taken us an embarrassing amount of time to get to this, but we have some things to say and some people to thank for making
#WCPC19
the incredible weekend that it was for the 804 people that were there.
For everyone who is leaving
#WCPC23
