15 Things You've Probably Seen at Comic Con
Steven Leung

Do you consider yourself a nerd? Have you ever been to a fantasy or science fiction convention? Have you been to the grandest of them all...Comic Con? I haven't had the chance to travel to California, but I have been to New York's Comic Con for the past three years. If you've ever attended this geek-tastic function, then you've probably seen....

1. About ten million booths selling art prints varying from abstract splatter paintings that look like Yoda to startlingly realistic portraits of the Doctor to sensual anime posters that make you vaguely uncomfortable to adorable drawings of Nintendo characters

2. Roughly twenty-five billion booths selling comics with every character you can imagine...I mean it literally... every character...every era...everything....all for a few bucks to gather a bundle

3. Some booth that is selling a food that is a little strange but probably good...like bacon flavored lollipops...or bacon flavored cookies...basically sweet bacon treats

4. Approximately twenty thousand people sporting fake blood in various forms

Exhibit A: ZOMBIES/Walking Dead

Exhibit B: Apocalypse Survivors

Exhibit C: Killer Anime Characters

Exhibit D: VAMPIRES

Speaking of makeup...let's talk about Cosplayers!

5. Someone sporting a Minecraft head

6. A couple dressed as the Joker and Harley Quinn or the Doctor and a companion that redefine relationship goals

7. A pack of perfect Disney princesses


8. A herd of Batmans, Stormtroopers, or Jedi (yes, they travel in herds and it is amazing)


9. Someone wearing a costume that has too little material (fishnet tights and a thong don't count as pants and a bra doesn't count as a shirt)

10. Someone wearing a handmade leather costume that took roughly three hundred man hours to craft (Bonus points if it includes a quiver and arrows or a scabbard and sword)

11. Someone totally rocking petticoats and hoop skirts

12. Lines that go on and on and on...and on to get an actor's autograph (which cost $60 and your left kidney)

13. Random B list celebrities and wrestlers who are nestled between booths and kinda forgotten about but you get all excited when you magically find these hidden gems


14. Panels that feature the coolest things you'll see all year (exclusive sneak previews of upcoming movies and TV shows, open conversations with casts, and hilarious behind the scenes insights)

15. Photo Ops that you'll be making your profile picture forever because they involve you hugging some Hollywood hunk

BONUS GIPH

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
