Title: D. Gray-Man '08
Post by: sk_chan on April 07, 2008, 02:50:38 pm
WHO'S DOING IT???

Once the con rolls around I'll organize a shoot.

I'm cosplaying Komui and in my group will be Allen, Rabi, Kanda, Rinali and Klaud/Cloud Nine.

I'm going as Kanda for one of them I know that, I was kanda to S-con so I'll be using my cosplay, it's the second uniform (pleather)
but can't wait to see you there! I have a Lavi and Allen.

Neato. I'm glad someone replied, haha, I was getting a little worried for a second...

I'm desperately in need of a Rinali~ ;3; I hope one comes...

I will be probably cosplaying as Lavi I cosplayed with Sekitan Bun (Yeah you know excatly who this is) Its just I might not be cosplaying as him for long because I get soaked in sweat in that costume.

Ah, we got a Rinali! I'll update the board.

I can probably drag my Earl costume back out for the photoshoot. Dunno if you saw me last year, I was the one with the birdhouse on my hat.

Want me to?

I might've seen you at the shoot.

Sure thing. The more the merrier. ;)

I'm not sure if my Allen's coming though.
I'm amazed she was able to carry me at S-con.

Pretty sure my group's going to be doing D.Gray for this year (my first year, their second, if I'm correct). I'm sure there will be a spoiler!Tyki, almost certain there will be a Cross (though I'm not sure if it'll be first or spoiler version), maybe an Earl, and as for me, I'm going to try to get my Komui cos together -- if not, I'll just pull Road back out, or (slim chance) pre-exorcist Miranda, if I decide to finish her instead.

So yeah.  I rather expect we'll be there.

Ugh.. I just remembered...my Kanda wig.
I was going to ask where I can get a new nice wig or how I can put my fricken hair up on the one I have into that ponytail!
I just let it slide last con, but this time I want to make sure it stays up...any suggestions?

Wowwigs.com has awesome wigs. But they're a tiny bit pricey.

In anycase I'll be one of the many Lavi's roaming about, but in the original costume because I'm not brave enough for the pleather. u.u

Was there a day you were considering for the photos? I'll only be cosplaying Lavi one day, and mostly because I'll be doing a DGM panel. *shamelessly plugging*

Well, we're doing our D. Gray-Man group only on Sunday, so that's what I was thinking.

Hmm... I'll have to think about what day I'll be him, I haven't decided O.o
I'm thinking about doing a lazy cosplay, like something I don't have to be so straight laced just to be it.
Like my Kanda cosplay I have to bind my chest and die of heat stroke, and my Axel cosplay I have to show my forehead (I've never liked showing my forehead) and bind my chest for that too....
I think I'll actually cosplay a girl for once, though I don't like the idea of it, I'd be able to let myself out more (like the chest area XD)
I'll probably switch between cosplay in the middle of the days :3

XD I'm going to end up doing that once for sure, maybe twice. XD

But I was looking for Saturday D Gray-man cosplayers since that's the day I'm doing the panel. I was hoping if I could find enough to maybe beg them into trying to do a bit of a game for my panel since I agreed to do it for 2 hrs. /sweat

I sent an e-mail and got a reply. She says they think it'd be awesome to be a part of your panel (although they haven't started on their costumes yet, but she insists they'll be done by the con, lol).

What's this sort of "game" you're talking about, though?

XD It was gonna just be a manga discussion, but I'm not a massive awesome speaker so I was hoping to eat time with a trivia game or something like that. I'm open to suggestions if you guys have any.

As for my ideas as far as the trivia deal go I was thinking along the lines of splitting the audience into two groups as well as the cosplayers into 2 groups and having the audience answer trivia questions. The group with the least answers, their cosplayers, will have to do some sort of punishment.

I haven't a freaking idea about what to do past that. u.u

Ha. (I'm not a massive awesome speaker either, so you're not alone.)

Erm, well, it honestly sounds like it would work. As for the punishment, to throw an idea out, how about it's different for each character? Like, something the character would never do (or woudn't like to do) and we'd have to try to act it out to the best of our ability... *shrug*

Hi there! :D

We also have a D.Gray-Man group. Well, only three of us.. but still...

I myself will be Kanda, in his 2nd uniform. My sister will be Miranda. She was pre-excorcist Miranda at this year's Sakura Con, if anyone saw her. It's weird that she might be the only Miranda, at least so far! Our friend will be Lavi, in his first uniform.

Oh, and any day is fine for the photoshoot for us--we'll be cosplaying as D.Gray-Man characters for the entire Con. If we can stand the heat... D:


Ah, one more thing--the Lavi and I are totally yaoi fangirls, so beware our jokes... >D

Really? I thought it was quite popular...anyway, I'm not a fan of Rabi/Allen (eww), but I'm willing to tolerate Kanda/Allen. (I'd much prefer CROSS/ALLEN, muwahahaha. Or hell, Cross/Komui. Or Tyki Mikk/Allen.)

I...don't have any DGM doujins. D: I have other doujins, but...no DGM. I've been meaning to buy a Kanda/Rabi one, but alas, I can't find one with decent enough artwork for a price I'm willing to pay.
Title: Re: D. Gray-Man '08
Post by: Nisha on July 04, 2008, 03:09:27 pm
Yeah, I'm really not that big on Allen pairings... but Cross and Tyki would work wonders with anyone! :D I have a Cross x Kanda doujin, but it's not graphic at all... pity.

But yeah, I know what you mean--at the place I bought them at Sakura Con, we weren't allowed to peak inside the packaging, so we had to judge by the cover. Which worked for a couple of the ones I bought, but I don't think I would've bought the Cross x Kanda doujin if I had seen the real art...  [And now that I think on it, I believe I did see a Kanda x Lavi doujin there! But I don't remember what the company was called, unfortunately...]

In any case, if anyone else is interested in buying or trading doujins--though I would probably only be interested in parting with the aforementioned Cross x Kanda one--then I'll totally be there. 'Cause hey, I could use a few more. :3

Yeah, for some reason, I'm just not one for Allen apirings, either. Dunno why...unless he's with Cross, because that's so AMUSING.

Awwh, yeah, I looked for Kanda/Rabi doujins at SakuraCon 08...but all I could find were Kanda/Allen. asdfghjkl;; ._.;; Maybe I'll find some at KumoriCon...who knows. It's where I found a Tales of Symphonia doujin with nice art (although there were no pairings, I was surprised to find that in a place where the doujins mostly consist of Naruto and Fullmetal Alchemist), so anything's possible.

Cool stuff. 8D Maybe if I find a Kanda/Rabi doujin in the dealer's room before the shoot I'll show it to you guys~

I SERIOUSLY better have my Kanda costume or I probably wont go to the convention. I'm getting REALLY sick of this crap.

" Oh yea, I can tottaly have it done Fanime"

" okay, okay DEFINATLY by July 20 th for the parade"

" Nevermind. I'll learn to sew and do it myself"

" No,no I'll START on it soon"

Has not started on it.

I know, I should do it myself but all excuses aside, don't promise something if you don't intend to do it.

Aaanyway, I'll be there as Kanda if it's the last bloody thing I do!

Maybe I'm petty, but I kind of hate it when shoots degenerate into gratuitous noncanon pairing shots.  Just my opinion, though.

Now that AX is over, I'm hoping to get to work finishing up my pre-exorcist Miranda, because I don't think I'll have time to do Komui before KCon.  T_T  Alas, I have returned home to find the craft room/spare bedroom exploded everywhere with my housemates' crap -- understandable, when we had to evacuate due to impending BURNING UP, but still quite vexing.  It's probably gonna be a few weeks before I can nag them enough to unbury the desk.  *cries*

*shrug* I never said we would. But if we do have shots like that, it won't be for the whole shoot. To each their own. Anyway, I've never had a shoot that had noncanon pairing shots, so it'd be new to me. (And I personally think some of the pairings I named off are slightly canon.)

Anyway, good luck with your rather, erm...interesting situation. Miranda's always welcomed~

Not to imply that you would; it was more of a general observation of something I've seen in too many instances, especially as it had come up in discussion just earlier that day with friends post-con.  But eh, each their own, and each their own interpretation of canon.

You know, it USED to bother me, but after all this bullsh*t with the fanbiys insufferable whiiiining. " OMG! Yaoi EXISTS and that very thought is RUINING my convention!"- yet I hear a groan everyone time suggest shonen aii pictures are suggested and an "OMG!! I need a picture of this for yuri poses, I say, go for it. More freaking power to them.

So, apparently, actually, according to an e-mail I just recieved, this group is going to fall through. I'm sorry to anyone who thought we were coming, but things happen. I /might/ still come as Komui, but I don't have much motivation of bringing that costume anymore, since I was only bringing it for the group, so it's highly unlikely...and I think there's another Komui coming in another group, anyway? So.

It's impossible for a photo shoot to fall through. Even if we can't be official according to the schedule, we can plan an unofficial one, and I'll take it from here.

I realized that even though I don't have my exorshists costume, my normal attire is very similar to Kanda's. So I will go as him in his normall outfit.

Post by: myalchod on August 10, 2008, 11:11:59 am
Yes, but an official one makes things easier, IMO.  (Also, I like having them because then I can say both "this is when I'll wear this cosplay" and "JIM GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE NOW OR WE WILL KICK YOU".  Mostly the latter.)

Yay for you having a Kanda cos, though!

I agree, they are better. But if we can't then we can't and will have to work with what we've got. You can still kick people. You'll just need different reasoning. None at all is fine too.

BTW, will you  be bringing your functional time wheel peanut butter sammiches?  I will probably need one or five at some point. XD

Thanks, hopefully it will be sufficient. ' ^^  I just need to find a way to change my hair color overnight.

So, what time had everyone wanted?
Remember, we have less than a month so there is not time EVERY single person single to person to pull the  " I have this a time".

Well just have to pick a time that accommodates as many as possible.

I don't know, but probably not.  I'm flying up, so I'm not sure what I will and won't be able to bring along between space constraints and airline regs.  Since I'm posting my swords up, I'm going to make every effort not to have to check bags (especially trying to catch an earlier flight on standby) -- but knowing my luck, I'll have to.  Almost certainly no Fourth Squad cookies this time, though.
(I thought you said you didn't like peanut butter. :P )

Timewise, I'd prefer not the same day as Bleach.  Family plans are Bleach, Juuni Kokki, and D.Gray, and until we know when Reborn stuff is happening, I can't even guess as to when we'll be doing Juuni Kokki -- though since I'm staying over Monday night, the ease of costume and makeup removal for the drive home isn't an issue for everyone.  That's about all the input I can offer right now.

I don't know, but probably not.  I'm flying up, so I'm not sure what I will and won't be able to bring along between space constraints and airline regs.  Since I'm posting my swords up, I'm going to make every effort not to have to check bags (especially trying to catch an earlier flight on standby) -- but knowing my luck, I'll have to.  Almost certainly no Fourth Squad cookies this time, though.
(I thought you said you didn't like peanut butter. :P )

Timewise, I'd prefer not the same day as Bleach.  Family plans are Bleach, Juuni Kokki, and D.Gray, and until we know when Reborn stuff is happening, I can't even guess as to when we'll be doing Juuni Kokki -- though since I'm staying over Monday night, the ease of costume and makeup removal for the drive home isn't an issue for everyone.  That's about all the input I can offer right now.

I don't like peanut better  but like I said, it kept me from passing out until we got the restaurant ( hence the time-wheel sammich) XD

God, I don't blame you. These days I would rather spend two weeks on a train, then two hours on a plane.

Ehe..that's a lot of photo shoots  are these all on the same day? 

What time had you guys set up previously?

I hate trains too -- at least, I've had issues with Amtrak the one time I took it.  But really, work makes the decision for me -- I can't afford to take the time off it'd be to catch a train.  Ah, well, at least AX and Fanime are close enough to drive.

And no, Kaasan and Tige and I planned three sets of cosplays, to spread out over the three days.  Rai, I'm sure, will have more, but that's on her own head -- and the only one she's doing with us is Juuni Kokki.

I don't recall if there was a time set up.  I do know that my personal preference now, with Bleach on Saturday, is Not Saturday. :D

I like trains okay but yes, Amtrak sucks as far as punctuality.
 Last time i took a train, I was 23 hours late and missed Diaysis ( I was supposed to go during the con but I skipped cuz that's how I roll yo)
Mostly, I was irritated with the everyone who was WHIIIINIG so insufferably even though they were the ones with no were to go. Had it not been for my appointment, I wouldn't have cared one bit.

 I see.  If there was no time set up, that must have been what the email was about; registering too late.

The only thing I really care about is the Blleach Shoot and probably Chess game. I don't know when the Bleach shoot is, but the Chess is Monday morning

I don't think many people want it Monday so let's go with Sunday.

 Any objections? LEGITAMTE objections?

Sunday should probably work for us.  I know Kaasan would prefer it on the later side, as she is Absolutely Not a Morning Person (as opposed to my internal alarm, which goes "SEVEN THIRTY YOU ARE LATE FOR WORK GET UP GET UP GET UP" even on weekends).  Looking at the schedule right now, I'd suggest either 11:30 or 1:00.

My hatred of Amtrak probably has a lot to do with the fact that it took me nearly a full day to get from Humboldt back down to Santa Barbara, including multiple delays and three different buses, PLUS the train -- and it would've been almost eighteen WITHOUT delays, when it took my brother and I a little over nine to get there driving.  Why they don't just have a bus down to the Bay Area and the train from there is beyond me.  OTOH, I hear for going to the Bay or LA, it's a lot less Epic Fail.

Noticed that on the photoshoot scheduling thread.  I think that's why we're discussing dates/times.

I just saw something about unofficial versus official so I wanted to clarify that there is no "official".

Yep, that is exactly why.

Alright, I'm going for 2 PM Sunday.
1pm would have interfered with the masquerade practice.

There are two popular spots for shoots.
The Final Fantasy shoot is at 1pm and will probably go for more than an hour. So wherever that is going to be at we will have to take the other.
 Or, if someone can think of another location, that will work too.

I'm giving it until  midnight. If I don't receive multiple,  reasonable objections, I'm taking this to the photo shoot thread.

Alright guys the Photoshoot is at 3pm Sunday.

Someone took the 2pm slot.

There arefew options for location so we will meet at the park and if it's too crowded move it somewhere else.

Sounds good!
Are there other places more D.Gray-Man -ish for the photoshoot that might be a short walk from the Center? I'm kind of familiar with Portland, but I can't think of any place. Does any one else know?
Also, who here might be going to the D.Gray-Man Manga discussion? I haven't decided if I am yet, and it depends on what my group wants to do... But if it turns into a D.Gray-Man cosplay get-together then I'm there!

I want to..but I think it may be at the same time as the 18+ party I'm supposed to run.

I forgot that hosting a party means having attend. >_<

On a related note; I finally got all the crap for my Closet Cosplay-Kanda. I WOULD look nearly perfect, if it weren't for my mothers fat-face genes. I'm the only one in my family who is not fat, yet I've got that goddamned round face like mommy dearest!!

*Shakes fist as mommy dearest" CUUUUURSE YOOOOOOU!!

I may or may not have Miranda done for con.  The dress is giving me fits and I'm about to throw the towel in on the whole fiasco, just because I'm so blasted annoyed at it.

Hopefully, though ...

I'll still be there for the meet, though, even if it's not in D.Gray cos, because family will be cosplaying it.

 Strangling Lavi was definitely the high point of my con, (aside from killing Harruhi, you have NO idea how sweet that was) we should do it again sometime.

You live in Belvue too? Sweet, that's three new people for me to hang with.

Oh yes, we definitely should. We were planning to do a few more photoshoots on the weekend sometime, like at St. Edward's Park at Bastyr [playground with haunted forest and awesome buildings FTW] and other places. It'd be great if we could all get together some time and abuse my Lavi.

Anyway, we'll try to be at Anime Raku on Friday to see you guys!

I have no idea where that is. I live in downtown Seattle so I don't know Belvue too well so I guess I'll just follow everyone.
You know, for the past month I've had nothing to do, but I may be busy Friday. *rage*

but if I can I'll be there maybe I can Paul and Yumi ( our Byakuya and Rhoad)  to go too.

I hope at least one or two of you in the group like video games. I have no one to play Dynasty warriors with anymore.

Bastyr is a University or College or something about 30 mins away from Bellevue; I forget exactly where it is though.

And we'll also be at AR today at about 1. Don't know how long we'll stay though [my wee little highschoolers don't have school today due to a teacher strike].

Oh, we loves the vidja games. Strangely, I don't think any of us have played Dynasty Warriors...

Feel free to steal them if you wish, as I didn't take half of them because I was in the picture itself...

The other pictures can be found here (http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee93/PiercingNisha/Kumori%20Con%2008/), where non-photoshoot related D.Gray-Man pictures can also be found.
