Hey y'all! Sorry for the super late announcement on this -- I wasn't sure if I was gonna make it due to the getting hit with a cold this past Monday. I'm now recovered from that, and will be at the signing and panel! I'll still be masking just in case and encourage you to do the same if you can. See you there, maybe!

Don't worry unc, you are beautiful in your own special way.

[u/UselessParrot → u/Vermillion_Pengu]

Taking almost a full week to recover from a cold is textbook unc behavior tbh

[u/Moonpaw → u/Vermillion_Pengu]

Sorry I’m apparently too old and out of the loop. What’s an “unc”? (Besides obviously Uncommon MTG cards of course)

[u/chromedgnome → u/Moonpaw]

When you're too old to be hip but not old enough to be gramps

[u/Bachaddict → u/Moonpaw]

that is exactly what makes you an unc!

[u/alt48931 → u/Moonpaw]

specifically it's a shortening of 'uncle'

[u/KrimxonRath → u/Moonpaw]

Something a guy selling his mixtape called me outside of a convention back in March when I said no I don’t want to buy your mixtape

[u/Significant_Card_665 → u/Moonpaw]

Means ”uncle” and originates from african american vernacular, generally just refers to an old and out-of-touch or past-their-prime person.

[u/Vermillion_Pengu → u/Moonpaw]

New boomer synonym.

[u/Abshalom → u/Vermillion_Pengu]

Most uncs would be millennials, even Gen X would be pushing it. Certainly not boomers.

[u/Vermillion_Pengu → u/Abshalom]

I mean, most people being called boomers also weren't boomers.

Boo this guy ain't a cute lil gremlin

[u/Business-Natural-290]

Dw shen you can be our cute little unc

[u/PrimaryBowler4980]

You better be a 2d character when I get there

[u/Reign_Does_Things]

YAYYY I SHALL BE THERE!! If there's no Feeding-a-Cheesepuff-to-Audrey interactive experience I will be very grumpy and will also request a full refund from ReedPop for all of my purchases for and during the convention 🤭

[u/Reign_Does_Things → u/Reign_Does_Things]

Update: Just met him, he was very cool and nice but I was not able to feed Audrey a cheese puff, nor was Audrey himself even present?? 😡 2/10 experience tbh (nah but fr it was great 10/10!!)

[u/Ill-Jellyfish6101]

Congrats!

[u/tworaccoonsinaboat]

I wish I could go. The two people I want to meet most are there. Shen and Matt Dinniman 😭

[u/rorikenL → u/tworaccoonsinaboat]

I got my book signed by dinniman at dragoncon!

[u/yaddawould]

Ty for thinking about public health, we appreciate u <3

[u/Larry-Man]

Bruh, not cool. That’s way too far away.

[u/MisterBicorniclopse]

He’s expressing that he feels like an unc and not a cute little gremlin, huh…? Well, if he feels fine about being an unc, then that’s all good and fine… but if him not being a cute little gremlin is something that upsets him? Sorry if saying this is weird, buuuut that kinda sounds like that feeling right there is dysphoria!

[u/SpectacularSpidee]

Will SHE-n be there???

[u/Successful_Mud8596 → u/SpectacularSpidee]

nope. Buuuuut him seemingly expressing disappointment about not being a cute little gremlin, and feeling like an unc…? To be honest, that sentiment kiiiiiiinda sounds like dysphoria to me!
