The button speaks for itself but I had so much fun hanging out with the oomfies and watching grands :3 (also my first time not going 0-2 at a major so that's gotta count for something)
Gonna use this as a teaching moment for the FGC at large bc all of y'all defending him look kinda goofy. IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A SETUP STOP THE MATCH AND CALL A TO OVER. GOING ONTO TWITTER TO COMPLAIN AFTER THE FACT DOES NOTHING FOR YOU.
This is so cool!! Can't wait to see future updates. Hopefully this will encourage folks to get out there and enjoy their local fighting game scenes โจ๏ธ
I've been working in this project for some time and I think it's time I make a proper announcement for it, so...
This is HadoFinder! a web app created to help fighting game players find local tournaments near them. 1/5
My husband (boyfriend of 2 years) is off fighting a war in a distant land (in florida for CEOtaku) and has only found the time to send me a letter while out on a supply run (called me on his way to Wawa)
You would not believe the number of dudes who have had the audacity of asking me this since I've started competing/going to events. Stop assuming femmes/women only go out to events to accompany a man, that shit is genuinely degrading and insulting.
Every major I get hit with the โWhoโs girlfriend are you?โif Iโm outside of my booth.
This is the most insulting thing you can ask me in a FGC environment.
Incoming sappy Iron Grid post: thank you all so much for the support. If you show up for brackets, commentary, fuck it, even casuals you guys are a huge part of this event's success. Thank you all for letting me do what I love :')
THANK YOU COMBO BREAKER!! I got to see all my friends and make so many new ones. Time to be trapped in a car with the
@FalconiaGG
crew for 15 hours, I'll see you all at locals!
Forgot to post this when my pools were over but I did beat out my placing from last year in Strive. GGs to everyone I played, next year I make it out of pools, promise
Spent the day at NYC pride with some friends! It makes my heart so happy to see so much love in one city. Parents walking with their kids, people from all walks of life, it gives me hope. Happy pride!! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ

I love this trend!! Here's my gal Jenny (brown tiger in the middle) surrounded by the rest of her friends in my college dorm. She's been around as long as i have, since some of my earliest memories are with her. Here she is, sitting pretty at 20 years old ๐
My first medal in FGC and honestly the most thoughtful thing I've ever recieved in my time TO'ing. These events can't get off the ground without their volunteers. To have that be recognized is so powerful, I can't thank the organizers enough for putting this together. (1/2)
As a femme presenting person, I cannot stress how many times I've sat down for games only to be met with the classic "so, are you here with your boyfriend?" It feels like a lot of the time after telling them that I am, it forms a permanent connection in their heads that (1/2)
Finally alive after Castle Point and Iron Grid. Its weekends like this that remind me why I do this. Seeing everyone at the event who took the time out of their days to come support us really does mean the world to me. Month after month you guys continue to amaze me, thank you.
Would you look at that, its me! Holding a clipboard! Writing legibly! Yelling! I had a great time running pools last year I've already turned in my application in the hopes of running it back this year ๐ซ
Do you know how to hold a clipboard, write legibly & yell a lot? Awesome. We want YOU to apply as a paid volunteer for

Got home from PAX last night and i'm now omw to Crossover ARC. If you said hi at any point/played games with me/complimented the Power cosplay I really appreciate it and really hope to be back next year! (I don't usually wear hats but jordan lent me his to protect my makeup โค)
Thank you guys so much! Its absolutely wild to think that I first started coming to Iron Grid my freshman year of college and we were getting excited to even have 20 people. Watching this tournament grow is the most rewarding thing ever as a TO, thank you all for that ๐ฅฐ
To my trans and nonbinary homies, I hope you get yourselves a little treat today, times are tough but the best we can do is lean on each other and make our voices heard. Remember you are so loved, seen, and heard, not just today, but year round ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐
Before brackets got too crazy I had to get some 'fit pics with
