ENGLISH CONTENT
Hello to all the members of this community, anime lovers, but especially BL lovers! I have been attending anime events for years, but I had always had the desire to go to those events whose theme is exclusive to my favorite genre: BL. I admit that over the years, I had forgotten about that desire, until I found out that the JINXFEST was going to take place in the city, a small event that has been taking place for all lovers of this genre. And of course, you have to find out @yetsimar @irenenavarroart @tesmoforia @tegoshei @ruffatotmeee @jude.villarta @omokhafue 🌈✨
I found out about the event by chance through their Instagram account and although I don't usually buy tickets in advance (in case something happens and I can't attend later), I decided to take the plunge. With this, I finally pushed myself to cosplay Riki The Dark, one of the protagonists of the BL novel by Rieko Yoshihara: Ai no Kusabi and which is my favorite in this genre. As expected, I showed the procedure for making this simple cosplay on my blog: Top Making - Pants Making.
When the scheduled date arrived, I was extremely nervous, so much so that I accidentally deleted the digital ticket while trying to make room on my phone during my subway ride 🙃 Luckily, I knew the number and was able to get in without any problems. The bar where it was held was somewhat small and completely full of people, but the atmosphere was lively and the decoration made it pleasant. Since I didn't know anyone, at first I just sat there watching haha, but luckily for me, the girls next to me quickly started talking to me (led by BL, obviously haha) and little by little, I started feeling more comfortable.

The first activity that took place was the screening of the anime movie Given. I really enjoyed it, because I wasn't the only one getting excited during the romantic scenes, nor was I the only one making comments about what was happening. It was quite nice and I really liked the snacks we got for watching the movie.
 |  |  |

Of course, there were several cosplayers and people dressed up in Halloween themed costumes. The bad thing was that it was difficult to photograph them because of the limited space, so I could only take a few haha but I loved seeing the willingness of others to wear costumes based on their favorite characters.
 |  |  |

There was also a dance group that put on a pretty good performance.
 |  |  |
|---|
On the other hand, there were sales stands and most of them sold items based on Mangas, Manwhas and BL series. Since I'm very outdated, I didn't know almost anything of what I saw haha but at least that helped me control my compulsive buyer side, because in the past, I used to check out every stand at every event I attended and I took almost all the BL material I found 😅
 |  |  |
|---|
 |  |  |

They did a lot of activities and games, like collecting candy, crazy hour, guess the BL opening, and a drawing contest. It was quite exciting because one of the girls I was talking to won the drawing contest and she and her friend were happy. Her drawing was beautiful, just like the rest of the participants.
 |  |  |
|---|
At this point, I had become more confident and was talking animatedly about BL with the girls, we even danced to the music.
 |  |
|---|
Before the event ended, they raffled off several banners that were displayed on one of the walls. Luckily for me, I was one of the winners haha, I didn't expect that, but even though I haven't read the Manwha that the character belongs to, I still screamed when they said my number. It was pretty exciting to take that baby home 😆
 |  |
|---|
Time passed so fast that when we realized it, the event was already over haha Even though we were all squeezed into that small place, I can say that I enjoyed that event a lot, even more than other big events I've attended.
For the first time in a long time I felt like I was with people with my tastes, not to mention that I accomplished another of my goals, which was to meet new friends in the city. New events and meetings are already being planned, which I hope to attend, if everything goes well.
✨ Oh yeah... Tomorrow I'll upload a post with my Riki cosplay photo shoot, I hope you'll check it out 😊
Thank you very much for visiting my post. I hope you found it interesting.
Until next time!
CONTENIDO EN ESPAÑOL
¡Hola a todos los integrantes de ésta comunidad, amantes del anime, pero sobre todo del BL! Tengo años asistiendo a eventos animes, pero siempre había tenido el deseo de ir a esos eventos cuya temática es exclusiva a mi género favorito: el BL. Admito que con el pasar de los años, había olvidado ese deseo, hasta que me encontré con que en la ciudad iba a realizarse la JINXFEST, un pequeño evento que viene realizándose para todos los amantes de éste género. Y por supuesto, tienen que enterarse @yetsimar @irenenavarroart @tesmoforia @tegoshei @ruffatotmeee @jude.villarta @omokhafue 🌈✨
Me enteré por casualidad sobre el evento a través de su cuenta de Instagram y aunque no suelo comprar entradas en preventa (por si ocurre algo y no puedo luego asistir), decidí aventurarme a hacerlo. Con esto, me presioné por fin a hacer mi cosplay de Riki The Dark, uno de los protagonistas de la novela BL de Rieko Yoshihara: Ai no Kusabi y el cual, es mi favorito en cuanto a éste género. Como era de esperarse, mostré el procedimiento de realización de éste cosplay sencillo en mi blog: Elaboración Top - Elaboración pantalón.
Llegado el día pautado estaba sumamente nerviosa, tanto que borré por error la entrada digital mientras trataba de hacer espacio en el teléfono durante mi viaje en el subterráneo 🙃 Por suerte, me sabía el número y pude ingresar sin problemas. El bar en dónde se realizó, era algo pequeño y estaba completamente lleno de personas, pero el ambiente se notaba animado y la decoración lo hacía agradable. Como no conocía a nadie, al principio permanecí sentada solamente observando jaja pero, para mi suerte las chicas a mis costados no tardaron en iniciar conversación conmigo (llevadas por el BL, obviamente jaja) y poco a poco, me fui sintiendo más cómoda.

La primera actividad que se realizó, fue la proyección de la película del anime Given. Realmente lo disfruté, porque no era la única emocionada en las escenas románticas, ni tampoco haciendo comentarios sobre lo que sucedía. Fue bastante grato y los snacks que obtuvimos para ver el filme, me gustaron bastante.
| | |
|---|
Por supuesto, habían varios cosplayers y personas disfrazadas con temática de Halloween. Lo malo era que era difícil fotografiarlos por el poco espacio, así que sólo pude tomar algunas jaja pero me encantó ver la disposición de los demás por usar trajes ambientados en sus personajes favoritos.
| | |
|---|
También hubo un grupo de baile que realizó una presentación bastante buena.
| | |
|---|
Por otro lado, habían stands de venta y la mayoría vendían artículos ambientados en Mangas, Manwhas y series BL. Como estoy muy desactualizada, no conocía casi nada de lo que veía jaja pero al menos eso me ayudó a controlar mi parte de compradora compulsiva, porque en el pasado, solía revisar cada stand de cada evento al que asistía y me llevaba casi todo el material BL que encontraba 😅
| | |
|---|
| | |
|---|
Hicieron varias dinámicas y juegos, como recolectar caramelos, hora loca, adivina el opening BL y el concurso de dibujo. Fue bastante emocionante porque una de las chicas con las que estaba hablando, resultó ganadora en el concurso de dibujo y ella y su amiga, estaban contentas. Su dibujo era precioso, al igual que el resto de los participantes.
| | |
|---|
Yo en éste punto, ya había entrado más en confianza y me hallaba hablando sobre BL animadamente con las chicas, hasta bailábamos al ritmo de la música.
| |
|---|
Antes de finalizar el evento realizaron la rifa de varios pendones que estaban exhibidos en una de las paredes. Para mi buena suerte, fui una de las ganadoras jaja eso no me lo esperaba, pero aunque no haya leído el Manwha del cual pertenece el personaje, igualmente pegué un grito cuando dijeron mi número. Fue bastante emocionante llevarme ese bebé a casa 😆

El tiempo pasó tan rápido, que cuando nos dimos cuenta, ya el evento había terminado jaja A pesar de que estábamos todos apretados en ese pequeño lugar, puedo afirmar que disfruté muchísimo de ese evento, inclusive mucho más que otros eventos grandes a los cuales he asistido.
Por primera vez en mucho tiempo me sentí con personas con mis gustos, sin mencionar que cumplí con otra de mis metas, la cual era conocer amigos nuevos en la ciudad. Ya se están planeando nuevos eventos y reuniones, a los que espero asistir, si todo sale bien.
✨ Ah si... Mañana subiré una publicación con la sesión de fotos de mi cosplay de Riki, espero que le echen un vistazo 😊
So jealous here in ital6we don't have many bl events I was into many bl Manga and anime, now I'm into mostly Thai bl ❤️
Oh! Really? I always thought that in other countries there would be more possibilities than here haha maybe there are some in Italy, but since the groups are small, it would be hard to find, because I found out about this event by chance and now that I follow the networks, I will be more aware 😊 Oh, very interesting! It’s been a long time since I last consumed “current” BL, years ago I was aware, but I took a break for a while and many things changed, I’m glad that BL has spread to other regions of Asia, because that increases the chances of finding varied and interesting stories. I have a lot to learn, once again 😎 Thank you so much for visiting my post and for commenting! 🤗💚
Aaaahhhhhh que emoción, me sentí feliz solo de leerte. Aparte de una de mis amigas yo no hablo del tema jaaja bueno con mi mamá aunque ella solo es mi víctima por tenerme que escuchar tanto 😅. Me encantó los pósters que estaban allí. Que genial tu cosplay quiero ver más fotos 🥰
Jajaja Es que fue una experiencia nueva para mí y mucho mejor de lo que esperaba, lo único malo era que yo andaba totalmente desactualizada, pero del resto, fue muy divertido estar allí y ver la emoción de los demás al compartir sus mismos gustos. Te entiendo, yo también tengo mi grupo reducido en donde dejo "salir a flote", mi fan del BL jaja por aquí me tienes también, podemos hablar de alguna serie que tengamos en común 😊 Por supuesto, las fotos vienen en camino, en cuanto suba el post te etiquetaré para que las veas 😎 ¡Muchas gracias por haber visitado mi publicación y por comentar! 🤗💚
Waaa 😍 omg! I also want to go to these kind of event too, i hope their will be some in my place, i see painters of the night too my favorite BL! 😍
Glad you didn't lost your digital ticket completely ❤️
😚 Check social media, many of these events are small, so it's normal for them to go unnoticed. I found out about them by chance while checking my Instagram and the same thing has happened to me with other events I've heard about 😌 This way you can meet other people with your tastes and make friends 😊 There's a saying that says "He who seeks, finds" and I've been looking for something like that for years. I hope you can do it too!
Hahaha, it was kind of funny about the ticket, because after the event, I found the image replicated in another chat 🙃 but, at least the situation served as an experience for me to be more cautious 😁

All good @suezoe! You're a real Hive pro! Onward to that new goal!
This is amazing! I have never been to a BL-exclusive events. I think it's not common in the Philippines, but I do know some friends who are also into BL. I hope to join such an event someday.
I see a lot of Korean manhwa from your photos!!! Do you know Hakken?
It’s nice that you have friends with the same tastes in BL as you 😄 Before this event, I didn’t know anyone in person from this city who liked it, only online friends, so it’s nice to now be able to meet up with like-minded people 😌 With your friends you could do themed meetups and games, I think that’s how all these little events start, with people who enjoy something and little by little, they get encouraged to do something to bring together more fans of the genre 😚
Yes, the event was full of Korean Manwhas haha No, unfortunately I don’t know Hakken 🙃 I’m too outdated, I only know about Japanese BL and from the early 2000s haha I have to catch up on everything I’ve missed all these years 😅
Thank you so much for visiting my post and for commenting! 🤗💚
We used to go to conventions, but we're old now... I guess I'm the only on who's still actively watching anime or reading manga. Most of them are busy with their own families already. hahaha So, I'm happy to meet people online. :)
Hakken is a cosplayer and has cosplayed a lot of BL characters. Hakken's cosplay of Seonghoo from Painter of the Night is awesome.... <3
Thanks for tagging me... I appreciate it! I'm happy to read about your experiences and see the photos! <3
But... What do you mean they're older? There's no age limit to attend conventions 😆 I'll assume you mean that time and obligations are the limiting factors haha It happens to me too! My contact with friends has become totally online 😅
Oh! I understand... I don't know him, but I have seen a couple of cosplayers who do amazing work set in BL, it's really mind-blowing 😳
Thanks to you, for reaching out 😊 When you have any BL content, you can also tag me 😌
I mostly talk to younger people online now... my peers who I used to go to conventions with have different interests nowadays. Though some of them still watch some famous anime, but they don't really get the hype anymore. So, I'm glad to be in this community. :)
True... there's also a real-life couple cosplayers that I like because they often cosplay BL characters. They're Shunsuke and Ariderion... and their posts are amazing!!!
Will do so!! See you around! ^^
Ains que evento tan espectacular amiga! Me encanta mucho verte feliz y animada entre otras fans del BL, a mi me hubiera encantado asistir también, aunque creo que debor releer mucho del BL que he leído, cuando lo hice fue en modo compulsivo jajaj!
Espero que compartas igual el resto de tus encuentros del género!🥰
¡Si amiga! Realmente fue muy divertido y más por lo cómoda que me sentí hablando y también escuchando a otras chicas hablando sobre lo mismo, hasta la pena se me fue jaja 😄 Me hubiera gustado poder llevarte hasta allá 😣 ojalá que allá en Barquisimeto de animaran por lo menos a comenzar con reuniones, ese era mi pienso hace años, pero nunca se me dio la oportunidad de organizar nada 😆 Si tu te sientes perdida, imagínate como estoy yo que tengo años que no leo nada de nada jaja pero luego de éste evento, me he animado a ponerme las pilas y buscar de actualizarme de nuevo en mi género favorito 😌 ¡Por supuesto amiga, todo lo subiré en mi blog! 😎 ¡Muchas gracias por haber visitado mi publicación y por comentar! 🤗💚
Omg, I can see a lot of familiar faces on those posters, but Na-kyum really is so pretty, hehe. And Jerkyung is looking as hot as ever, lol. Leewon too, uwu. But seriously, this is a paradise for a BL fans. Its cool that some people held an avent like this. It is so amazing to meet a lot of people who has same interest as you. Congrats for being one of the winner 😻😻✨❤️.
Yes!! As soon as I entered the store, apart from the amount of people, I was amazed by the decoration and everything that was available 😍 I wasn't too excited at first only because as I mentioned in the post, I'm super out of date and I didn't know almost anything, but I was happy when I won the raffle, obviously haha thank you very much, now I see that poster every time my spirits are down and I feel much better instantly, hehe 😌 Thank you so much for visiting my post and for commenting! 🤗💚
How nice that you had such a good time, finding people who share your same interests and talk about them without being seen as weird is a very nice feeling hehe I congratulate you and I hope you can attend more events of your liking 😊
Hahahahahaha like a weirdo, you are so right! 🤣 It has happened to me a lot that I get excited talking about BL with people who do not know about the subject and in the middle of the conversation, I realize from their expressions, that in effect, they are looking at me as something "weird" and I run out of inspiration haha coincidentally while talking to the girls at the event, the conversation was so fluid and so bilateral that I could understand that it was not what I was talking about, but who I was talking to 😅 It's nice that we have the opportunity to meet with people who share our tastes, these are things that comfort your soul 😌 Thank you very much for visiting my post and for commenting 🤗💚
That event looks so entertaining and good! You look like you had so much fun! Now I want to go to a bl event😔.
Wow, that was good! I admit I wasn't really excited about it before I went, but it far exceeded my expectations and I had a great time 😄 Check your social media! Maybe there's a small group of people who get together and get things started, I found the information about this event by chance, and like-minded people attract each other 👀 Thank you so much for visiting my post and commenting 🤗💚
Como fan del BL de los años 1600, es increíble ver un evento exclusivo de BL en Venezuela, es como, sabíamos que en algún momento ocurriría pero estamos atrasados en tantas cosas-temas que lo veía quizá ocurrir dentro de otra década y con muchas limitaciones, ¡pero nada que ver!. Muchas gracias por compartir tantas fotos y TE QUEDÓ GENIAL EL COS DE RICKY EL QUE TENGA MIEDO A LA VIDA QUE NO NAZCA DIJO ZOEEEE! ❤️🔥 ❤️🔥 ❤️🔥
(por cierto yo aca infartándome viendo que la próxima edición es omegaverse o___o)
Epa si, hace años veía las publicaciones de eventos BL en otros países y siempre añoraba con ir a una; nunca me imaginé que precisamente éste año iría a una y precisamente aquí jaja fue sumamente inesperado, aunque lamento no haber estado lo suficientemente actualizada como para disfrutarlo el doble de lo que lo hice estando perdida jaja 😆 Que bueno que el cosplay de Riki fuese de tu agrado 😊 ya era hora de que lo hiciera, tenía años posponiéndolo 🤣 ¡Así es! Podrías ir para la próxima 👀 Si todo sale bien, yo también me acercaré 😇 ¡Muchas gracias a ti por visitar la publicación y por comentar! 🤗💚
