[Edited May 19th]

Hello! I originally opened up this thread to find someone/people who would cosplay yaoi pairings with me, but it looks like I'm full-up on cosplays from now 'til con-time, so I won't be available for a while, sorry! I'd like this thread to be open for any other yaoi cosplayers to get together and organize stuff!

Here are some pictures of some great yaoi-themed cosplay:

All images are PG-13, contains light touching.

JUNJOU ROMANTICA (Akihiko x Misaki)

(Can you tell I'm a fan of the BL cosplayer may.co? Haha)

Please, no hating, and if you could, I'd appreciate it if you would participate in the poll above, whether you like yaoi or not. I'd really like to know how big or small an influence yaoi has on Kumoricon attendees, thank you!

Eee, Konan-Chan are you serious?! Thanks for posting in the thread~ What are some of your favorite yaoi pairings?

Heya Shijimi~ I'd be interested in helping you out. X3 I'm a big yaoi fan, although I tend not to mention it too much in mixed company.

Waiii, Auri-chan you're my HERO! (I'm gonna capitalize that from now on lol, THANKS America.)

Yes, I agree. It was very difficult for me to put this thread here, but it was late at night and I was dying of sleep deprivation so I thought, "Oh what the hell." Would you prefer to discuss this via PM or some other, more private, means?

Auricle · « **Reply #5 on:** May 14, 2009, 11:44:00 am »

However you would like to discuss it is fine with me. :3 I don't mind just talking in this thread. Why would people who hate yaoi actually post here after taking the poll? @_@ No worries, in other words. X3

Yeah, HERO~ It gives me an excuse to use capslock. XD

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #6 on:** May 14, 2009, 11:48:43 am »

Yaaay~~~ I just got an idea, since we're both going to the zoo meet next Saturday, we could pose for some twin N.Italy shounen-ai pics!

If I'm able to hit Goodwill or something this weekend and I find something good, I might also be able to bring South Italy as well~

Auricle · « **Reply #7 on:** May 14, 2009, 11:51:04 am »

Like, you would bring another costume? @_@

Heck yeah, epic shonen-ai twin skills! XD

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #8 on:** May 14, 2009, 11:56:02 am »

Haha, actually now that I think about it, maybe I don't wanna risk it, especially having to change in the zoo restrooms... *dies*

We're around the same height as well, so it WILL be epic! Are you all done with your tomato-embroidered towel/flag of awesomeness? I can't wait to see it, lol this'll be fun!

Haha, I wouldn't mind snapping pics of those pairs~ Would you be up for it?

Edit: Original post has been edited with Japanese yaoi cosplayers, take a look!

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2009, 02:15:51 pm »

Yeah I would! I can pull off Itachi, I already have the cloak

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #14 on:** May 14, 2009, 02:17:28 pm »

Nice! May I ask how tall you are? Since you already have the cloak, it'd probably be best if you were Itachi, but if you happened to be shorter than me, that would seem a bit strange, you know? I'm 5'4".

Auricle · « **Reply #15 on:** May 14, 2009, 10:48:05 pm »

I haven't found the right kind of stick for my flag. D': I'm probably going to go to the craft store and get a dowel or something that would look nice. :3 And yeah, we're pretty much the same height. X3

I'd love to look at all of the pictures you posted right no, but the computer I'm on doesn't handle much more than text or having a couple windows open very well. D:

Are you planning on cosplaying from Junjou Romantica? Or any other yaoi series in particular? : 3

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #16 on:** May 14, 2009, 10:56:31 pm »

I wasn't planning on cosplaying from Junjou, but if I found someone who'd want to partner with me we could definitely do it! I think my face would be able to pull off any of the main characters except Miyagi lol. It's too girly to cosplay an older guy with stubble, haha.

As for other yaoi series, have you heard of Ai no Kusabi, Descendants of Darkness/Yami no Matsuei or Gakuen Heaven? I've seen almost all the yaoi anime that's been subbed so far but those are the first that came to mind. What other yaoi anime/manga have you seen/read? I also play yaoi PC games if you know any of those~

Auricle · « **Reply #17 on:** May 14, 2009, 11:04:36 pm »

Yup, I've watched all of those and probably one's I shouldn't have. ='D Pretty much any yaoi series you name I will either have heard of or watched.

I have the costume for Shinobu, but I think I could pull Misaki off better, probably using my Italia wig (hiding the curl of course). The costume wouldn't be hard to find either. XD Or Hiroki. I could manage Hiroki. But I would need a seme! ~flail~ Do you think you could manage being a seme? X3 If we wanted to cosplay Junjou, that is.

I have played a few yaoi PC games, but I haven't played Togainu No Chi yet, although Ive heard that it's good. : 3

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #18 on:** May 14, 2009, 11:13:20 pm »

omgiloveyou, lol. Since you seem like you've seen a lotta yaoi anime it means I don't have to hold back, haha!

Since you have the Shinobu costume, I could try to do Miyagi, trying never hurt anyone, but I'm just imagining that it won't turn out as well as some other people's versions of Miyagi could be, lol. If you'd like to do a Junjou photoshoot, I'll pair any character you'd like to be, so don't worry~ I just need to get myself a good pair of platforms and I'm good to go!

Oh, and which yaoi games have you played?

Auricle · « **Reply #19 on:** May 14, 2009, 11:20:24 pm »

Well, I'd like for us to look as good as possible, so why don't we try for Akihiko and Misaki or Nowaki and Hiroki? I can always just take a trip to Goodwill. I found a sweater just like Misaki's the other day, lol. XD Whatever you would like to do is fine with me though. :3

I've only played a few, actually. ='D Enzai, Zettai Fukuju Meirei, Silver Chaos, Silver Chaos II: Artificial Mermaid and a little bit of Animamundi:Dark Alchemist.

Yeah, don't hold back. I'll know exactly what you're talking about~ X3 omgiloveyoutoo, lol. XD

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #20 on:** May 14, 2009, 11:30:27 pm »

Wee~~~! So it seems we've decided to work on a Junjou cosplay for our first project (if we decide to do more, we can!) Since we want to look as good as possible, I think going for recognizability is a good idea as well, so perhaps we should go with the main pairing in the series, Akihiko x Misaki? For Akihiko, I suppose I can wear the vest outfit to maximize our recognizability (lol is that even a word?)

And even though you think that's a small list of games, those are some of the best! Oh my gosh, if we hit it off well at the zoo meet and finish the Junjou shoot, we should totally do a Zettafuku cosplay! I really want to wear pleather and carry around a whip... Not to mention Louise's gorgeous hair! LOL

Auricle · « **Reply #21 on:** May 14, 2009, 11:37:44 pm »

Okey-daykey-dokey! XD Misaki and Akihiko it is. I'll probably go for whichever outfit Misaki is wearing in his official character art for the anime. : 3

I'd love to do something from Zettai! XD Maybe you could be Louise and I could be Kia~ The costume might be hard to find/make or expensive to commission though. That would be sometime in the future, though. ='D

I should probably head to bed now. I'd love to continue talking about all of this over the weekend, but I'm going to be gone. D: But we can continue after that. : D

~hearts~

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #22 on:** May 14, 2009, 11:44:55 pm »

Woot woot, looks like the initial planning stage is done! Hive five~ <3 I hope we can work with each other long enough to do Kia and Louise; I'm really looking forward to it!

Hope you have a good night and enjoy your weekend! *hugs*

5'-5'3'' It's the Japanese in me... 5' on a bad day. 5'3'' on a good day, I have shoes that make me taller that I can wear

Kero-sempai · « **Reply #24 on:** May 15, 2009, 05:04:04 pm »

Orzlll I know nothing of these, but I would love to do a cosplay duo like such! Maybe I can get Auricle to show me something or...or something, xDD It'd be so fun, though! =D

Haha, maybe we should do Sasunaru? I'm already working on a Sasuke costume for a con skit and I think he's a little taller than Naruto... But if you don't care about heights, we could still do Sasutachi but not take pictures standing next to each other, lol~

@ Kero-sempai

Yay, I'm up for a duo if you're up for one! What are some of your favorite pairings?

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #26 on:** May 15, 2009, 05:51:29 pm »

I say sasutachi [I'm the same height as Sasu-chan saddly]

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #27 on:** May 15, 2009, 06:46:42 pm »

Whatever works for you works for me! Who would you rather be, Sasuke or Itachi?

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #28 on:** May 15, 2009, 07:45:14 pm »

Hmmm Sasuke! I love being Uke ><

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #29 on:** May 15, 2009, 08:07:38 pm »

Haha, Sasutachi it is! When do you think we could get together to do this? If I start working on Itachi now, I'll probably be ready by mid-June. We can also do it later than that if you're currently working on a different costume~

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #30 on:** May 15, 2009, 08:29:21 pm »

I'm working on Shelke right now, if anything later [shelke's taking up most of my time]

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #31 on:** May 15, 2009, 08:37:40 pm »

Alright, let me know when you'd like to get together for Sasutachi then~

Hey Shijimi, I'm back finally. @_@

Heck yeah, high five! XD (We are such dorks)

What kind of further planning stuff should we work out? :3

(Hi again, Savannah~ : D )

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #35 on:** May 18, 2009, 08:21:49 am »

Wai! How was the conference? I bet you did great!

Um, since we pretty much decided to do a Junjou Akihiko x Misaki last time, I guess all we have to do is work out a deadline~

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #36 on:** May 18, 2009, 08:46:27 am »

I totaly for got that my sasuke was done -.-; [sorta I still need to put the fan on the back...] Though it's ment for orioke no jutsu since I cant bind due to the fact that I have no ace bandages

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #37 on:** May 18, 2009, 08:56:05 am »

Oh, haha! I'll let you know when my Itachi is done then, but like I said before, probably after June~

Auricle · « **Reply #38 on:** May 18, 2009, 09:12:34 am »

The conference wasn't really good or bad. I had a lot of fun, but I was working the entire time. : P I guess I did okay, I didn't make any N00b mistakes. XD

Hmm...Getting my Misaki cosplay together will be pretty easy, but I don't know how much trouble you'll have getting Akihiko together. When would be a good deadline date for you? ' 3 '

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #39 on:** May 18, 2009, 10:04:16 am »

That's good you had fun!

Akihiko shouldn't be too much trouble to put together, but I need to figure out if I can find a vest like his at Goodwill, otherwise I'll have to make it myself. I'll get back to you after I pop into Goodwill today or tomorrow, is that okay? :3

Auricle · « **Reply #40 on:** May 18, 2009, 10:12:41 am »

Yup, that's just fine. I need to go to goodwill as well. X3

Sugarlat · « **Reply #41 on:** May 18, 2009, 03:36:50 pm »

Oh lulz I forgot I have a grey wig like Akihiko's XD

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #42 on:** May 18, 2009, 05:22:59 pm »

Okey! sounds fine to me! Now I just need to put the fan on. I don't have the rope so I'm using a red sash if that's fine *shot*

Liarino · « **Reply #43 on:** May 18, 2009, 07:06:14 pm »

Yaoi cosplay is so much fun~

I'd partner up with you at some point. <3

Katekyou Hitman Reborn cosplay has too many Yaoi moments not to love it.
