♥ Iberanime Santarém 2025 ( day 2 ) ♥


hey hey ♪♫
I'm back again today to talk about the 2nd day of Iberanime Santarém 2025! If you're interested in reading my entry for the 1st day, click here!

As I mentioned in my previous entry, i've always been way more fond of the 2nd event day, because there's wayyy less people and it's waaayyy easier to look at what everyone is selling, you can just take your time and enjoy the ride...and this year was no exception! Day 2 was SOOO much fun, probably the most fun i've ever had on Iber!

Okay, so...I woke up a litttlee bit traumatized from the HORRIBLE heat from the previous day, so unfortunately I had to put my prisilas to rest and had to pick the only other wig I have that's somewhat presentable: A random peach colored straight wig I bought on last year's Iber! I thought I was gonna look a little bit cosplay-ish but once I cut bangs on it I actually felt very pretty and started looking at it with totally different eyes!!

We did the exact same routine: started getting ready at 5AM, left at 7AM and got there at like, 9AM...but for some reason we were one of the first people in line!! we still had to stay in there for 2H because the event opens at 10 but OMG at least we could see the entrance!


(there was this ash ketchum guy rolling around on top of a greatball yelling '' IM GONNA CATCH THEM ALLLL '' and that already made my day HAHA)

WE GOT INNNN!!! YAYY 



I love these pics a lot because I tried to take a picture of Vince and it turned out amazing and then when I tried to take a pic of myself it's like all blurry and I think that's HILARIOUS because I didn't notice until we got home 😿😿 

The first thing we got was this ADORABLEEEE Rilakkuma plushie, it made me so so SO happy because he's my favorite and I was sooo sad that I didnt find one on day 1! he was JUST THERE waiting for me, we played with him the whole day! ʕ˶´• ᴥ •`˶ʔ




We walked around for some time just checking the stores and the cosplays before the place got too full and I got the chance to check out @Lua_da_Carolina, one of my favorite artists ever! I've been buying from her stand since I was a little girl and she's one of the artists that made tableing at cons a big big dream of mine, here's what I got from her:


I got the chance to tell her that we are mutuals on instagram and before I could prove it she immediately said that she recognized me by face and that she loves my art! I was SOOO gagged because her art means the world to me, I'm happy I could tell Lua just how much I look up to her and just how much she inspires me everyday, I got a little bit emotional and she gave me a little gift ദ്ദി T꒳T )✧ I'll remember this forever, and hopefully one day we'll table at the same con!


Little pause ^= w =^ )
 we finally found a place to sit!




My boyfriend took sooo many cute and stupid pictures of me while we were sitting down, I love these a lot! I hadn't noticed until then that my stockings were ripped but HAHA that's busy cons for you!



I think I really did fall in love with this wig to be honest, it's really cute...I'm a sucker for a straight - long bang, I kinda look like lady gaga in the fame era LOL which I live for! I really thought I wouldn't look gal and just thought ''whatever'' about it, because I just wanted to have fun, but then some really sweet girls stopped me and said they loved my gal makeup, they even took pictures with me! so that made me feel awesome :-3



FOOD TIME! I don't really eat at events but, like I said in my last entry....I'm getting old and just don't recognize most of the popular anime anymore so since we weren't spending money on figures and merch like we normally would've....we got food!


rilakkuma drinking boba....

We also tried corndogs for the first time! exciting! I remember some years ago americans made fun of people who posted '' japancore '' stuff and made up this '' americancore '' trend but I think they don't realize that european people are actually obsessed with AMERICANCORE stuff for real HAHA I always watched people eat corndogs on disneychannel and nickelodeon shows but that's like not a thing in here so I was so excited to try one after years of wondering!


This was a messss because we bought a crepe to share from the corndog store and like, the line was sooooooo long they eventually had to separate us and we had to go to a ''crepe'' line and omg a mess, we stayed there for almost an hour and the crepe wasn't even that good HAHA but memories memories...

OH YEAH, I ALSO GOT THIS CHIIKAWA LUCKY BAG!


I'M SOOO HAPPY I LOVE CHIIKAWA!!!!! we saw some people carrying one and we went to ask them where they got it and we got the last one! I even made friends with the girl from the shop because she also likes Rilakkuma like me ^_^ she was very sweet and cute too! we both had pink hair! (I'll show what the bag had at the end!)

some more pics:


Vince bought a shadow plushie after years of searching...they are finally together! father and son...


aoba charm! ^_^

us and a random head!!!! we thought he looked like the talking head from Art Attack LOL!

We walked so much that my sandals BROKE 😿😿😿 WAHHH IT WAS SO SCARY LOL we made them with so much love and I didn't wanna walk around with fugly naked ones! thankfully my mom packed us an '' SOS '' bag with glue so we were able to fix it, OMG!

´


I know this is just an average day for girls who wear lots of decora like me but still scary nonetheless, we're just lucky we could find a place to sit HAHA BUT ALL IS GOOD and it didn't break again for the rest of the day ( and until now! )


Well that's about it! After that we just rested while waiting for my parents to pick us up from far-land! I didn't have my glasses and I saw a junko enoshima cosplayer with what seemed to be beautiful manba makeup on and I was so happy to see another gal I ran to compliment her makeup and she was very very rude to me LOL but then I looked at her up-close and realized that it wasn't manba, just someone with 'gal makeup' drawn all on with eyeliner and it was like, all smudged black, so I felt a little less bad. . . but also very blind.

Here's me at the end of the day:


and here's some pics we took with my polaroid camera:



AND NOWWW here's my haul for everything that I got these 2 days!


it was all mostly from the artist alley because I didn't see anything anywhere from any anime that I like, but i'm very happy with all I bought! I love love the my melody necklace and the chiikawa keychain ^_^ also the mymelody plushie is so cute, I saw her right in the beginning of the con but didn't want to buy her because I wanted rilakkuma so bad but then I couldn't stop thinking about her so I just did it! Also the mystic messenger stickers AHHHHHHHH happy happy because i've been playing it recently, what a nice surprise!

 I didn't find as much dramatical murder as I expected but I'LL KEEP THE HUNT GOING NEXT YEAR!!! (≖ᴗ≖ 7) ♪♫

Here's what was inside the lucky bag:




isn't everything sooo cute? I could swear it was gonna be chiikawa stuff but I'm not complaining!!!! I'm so used to lucky bags having nothing but stolen bootleg stuff so I'm super surprised to see one with such good quality! I mean are you kidding? look at that ADORABLE cat cafe cinnamoroll!!!!!! in fact, I think that little purple...creature...thing keychain actually symbolizes anti-scamming or something like that. I know that because when we showed it to one of our best friends we couldn't stop laughing about how ugly he was, and ended up researching his origins....we are quite attached to the little guy now! LOL


Okay, that's all! I had a lot of fun these two days, I can't believe it's been 11 years of me going to this con and I still cant wait to go again next year, it really is the best weekend ever! So much happened and I wish I could write it all but I just cant, but these are the moments that stuck with me the most hehe!!!

 All I know is that I left Iberanime knowing that tableing is what I dream the most of doing with my life and next year will be the year I get it started.

 Thank you so much for reading!! ^_^
