Hello lovely people who physically went to The Wee Con! I'm putting names to gifts and I think I've found everyone except for the two circled items on the picture:
- The origami heart
- the tentacle + teacup earrings

Can you help me find who made these?

You're not entitled to Christine Wada's intellectual property free of charge just because she did work on your hyperfixation television show. It isn't Secret Canon Content being hidden from you by an evil scheme, it is her livelihood.

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

This is referring to the four pics of Taika in the Ed costume - the circulating pics are cropped a bit to remove the watermark
Sad to have to post this - Further pictures from Christine Wada’s panel are being circulated, despite my clear request they not be. I do not have permission sharing these, and spreading them not only damages my reputation but also any chance of future events and guests sharing exclusive material.

Context for those Taika pictures going around: Christine Wada didn't give permission for those to be shared outside the Interview as a Crew panel, so please delete them if you reshared.(No shame if you didn't know).

The person to blame is whoever cropped out the watermark. That was deliberate.
It’s so disappointing, and saddening. If this was someone sharing Vico’s content, fandom would not stand for it. But Christine Wada doesn’t get the same respect?

I want to thank everyone who didn’t know, and has now removed the post. I will *never* release content that belongs to a guest without permission, watermarks and appropriate credit. If the event name has been cropped out, it isn’t from me! I treat all my guests and their craft with respect, always.

Come on, crew, get it together. We all want more of these fantastic events; don't make people pull out/not agree to do them if they can't be sure the things they share stay where they belong!
You don't go sharing Vico's or Rhys' PAID content, so please don't do that with these!!! #SirenEvents #PSA

If any of you have shared the photo of Taika in the Ed original costume. Please take it down!

Watch and guess which bit has had half the audience so far getting just a *teeny* bit closer to the screen :)
@siren-events.bsky.social just keep getting better :)
Want to know what 50s style influenced Stede's S1 look, how @rhysiedarby.bsky.social got arm fluff, and what Blackbeard's leather jacket looks like with both sleeves?

All this, and more exclusive content is available to watch with the VOD Interview as a Crew: Christine Wada!

I'm not in Ghosts fandom, but as a fan generally I would never want my interest in a show to displace someone from their home and community and I'd definitely never pay for an experience that came at so high a cost.

Email address for WHP & petition in thread - let them know it!
This is absolutely vile. I get that Ghosts fans bring West Horsley Place a LOT of tourism, but this is disgusting. To evict a 70 year old woman who's lived there 20 years for a holiday cottage for fans?? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Gender Critical have already inundated this survey with their disgusting views on banning trans people from using the ponds.

Would be a shame if we inundated with trans positive views on not banning trans people.
