A few weeks ago my pals and I went to Nerdvana (AKA Carmarthen Comic Con)!
An all-day convention, Nerdvana had lots going on including a room full of geek-themed vendors, cosplay competitions, a charity auction, a NERF duel, gaming tables, and panel discussions.
I loved the cross-section of people in attendance – from little kids to teenage girls, to fully cosplayed adults, to elegant older steampunks! The day also has such a friendly community vibe, and I always feel really welcomed there. <3
I cosplayed as Marceline from Adventure Time!

Read the full costume breakdown and axe bass tutorial on Daf’s tumblr!
I felt really self-conscious baring my vampire teeth – and a wide toothy smile is SO not what I’m used to! – but I needed to show off my badass teeth.
(This feels better.)
Daf cosplayed as the Winter Soldier (from Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier), and won FIRST PRIZE in the cosplay competition! I’m so proud of him! 🙂
