I love 221B Con but I swear, the absolute hardest part is that feeling I have all weekend of not quite being a part of any friend group and wanting to have fandom friend groups but being…just so bad at social anything

I FEEL THIS SO HARD. Especially seeing all the group photos floating around?!

I think you and me and @berlynn-wohl should be, like, our own group.

I propose “adopt me” buttons

What’s funny about this is, to me, both you guys are the “cool kids.” I feel like wherever you guys go, that’s where the party’s at. That’s where the hilarious conversation about smutty fandom stuff is at. That’s where the unforgettable con moments are happening. And anytime you decide that, of all the things that you could be doing at this con, you’d like to hang out with/talk to *me*, that is, like, a ridiculous honor.

There are several more 221B regulars about whom I feel the same way. I just want to let you know that, despite how awkward you may feel, to me, being in a group with you in it would carry some prestige.

So I realize that nobody invited me to this conversation, but it’s worth adding that I feel that way about all three of you. Seriously, the number of “but am I cool enough to join the CAH game” feels or “omg Songlin is in the suite she’s maybe might gonna stay for the reading221b discussion we are gonna be a LEGIT OFFICIAL COOL PERSON EVENT oh never mind she is leaving aw nuts”

and I mean, to be clear: the people I usually hang with at 221bcon are some of my favorite people in the entire world, so zero regrets there. I guess it’s typical (and, you know, better) to feel sad about the time you missed with some people, while still being happy about the time you got with others. so I am reblogging to add that totally cliched thing BUT ALSO to say that I really wish I had gotten to spend more time with each of the three of you, and not only because you are much cooler than I am, but also maybe a little bit because of that,

I love the idea of adopt me buttons. It was my first con. I was so happy to be there and had a lot of fun, but definitely had moments of ‘I’m not nearly cool enough’ and ‘how do I socialize?’ (also everyone on this post already are my ‘cool kids’)
