re: optics concern, re: needing money but also cons 

@mawr not AC. Was too late to get into the dealer's room applications (by FAR) and honestly, my original plan back when I agreed to get dragged along was to see how non-work cons even feel now <_<

@Draekos Ahh. *nodnods and offers soff hugs*

You're valid and you're allowed to enjoy yourself even when you fall into financial distress- just make sure your enjoyment doesn't make said financial distress markedly worse and you're good as far as I'm concerned. ^^

If you end up feeling guilty or worried enough to ruin your con experience, you can always grab a table at an artist's alley and recoup some expenses to help alleviate that stress. ♥️
