The Potato Smashers are totally gonna get everything done for ECCC.

[sandrobotticelli]

@Hashi: You're planning on a Denmark? That's awesome! (The others sound awesome as well)

[Naruchan]

@malaria- Welcome <3

@Sandro- XD I know I'm lame but I totally missed when people were talking about face book. Can I add juu too?

[Hashi]

@Malaria: Brain-breaking, but HILARIOUS. Im quite excited.

@sandro: yup! XD since im going to be in Denmark for a year, we kind of decided it was required I cosplay him before I go. And Goatchild has been bugging me to forever, so its win-win

[Naruchan]

I'm rather excited to see this feat of awesome.
8D I've liked Denmark's character design for EVAR!
thought I would post this in love of the nordics.

8D lawl Denmark's in the middle.

[sandrobotticelli]

@Naru: Sure! I'll send you a pm~

I WANT A WHOLE GROUP OF NORDICS! ;n; I want to do that!

@Hashi: Oh really? That's awesome! When are you going? Have you been taking Danish to prepare? :]
I'm excited to see how that one turns out. Denmark is awesome. <3
You wearing it for Sakuracon or just Kumoricon?

[Hashi]

@Sandro: Yup, I'm taking it currently, and will be up until Im there, and while Im there. Im going to Copenhagen for a Study Abroad Program for Immigration, Conflict resolution and International Relations/Politics, oh and more classes on viking history and the icelandic sagas. Guh, my happy place pretty much. But I leave mid-August so I wont be here for Kumoricon. I'll be wearing Denmark to Anime Expo though, since Sakuracon is booked OTL

[sandrobotticelli]

@Hashi: That sounds awesome. I need to look into more viking history and the Icelandic sagas because I've barely been exposed to it but it's something I want to learn more about. Especially since I'm debating on doing some digs in the Orkney islands which would undoubtedly have a lot of viking influence/artifacts. I'm trying to get in a study abroad program currently but I don't think I can do it until next summer :/. Aww, so I won't get to see it in person? Bummer. Still cool you're doing it though.

[Hashi]

@Sandro: Thats sounds really awesome. I take your into Archaeology/Arch major then?  Either way, I dont know what uni you go to, but there's a number of great opportunities for study abroad in Scandinavia. The one I'm looking at is DIS, and they offer study tours to other countries depending on your program. So like, I get to visit Iceland, Sweden, Turkey and Germany as well as attend school in Copenhagen while Im there. They also do this for summer so it may be something to look into?

I also noticed your cosplaying Angela and I had to mention I've been planning an Ash cosplay XD so I think thats awesome.

it is a bummer about the not-in-person thing though :<

[jaqua]

@Sandro: DUDE YOU SHOULD READ HANNA IS NOT A BOY'S NAME! It's the Hinabn thing we've been mentioning with Connie and Doc Worth and Veser and Toni and Hanna and stuff. It's not very long so far but OHMAHGAHHHHD it's seriously so so so so cool. If anything, you can nerd out with us a little over it if you want xD this is where you can read it~ The art style starts a little rough (but ffffff the colors are so pretty) but just get through it and it gets SO pretty and SO fluid and the characters are SO cool and oh man, I can't even say how many times I've cracked up at this. Hinabn and Hark! A Vagrant are my two favorite webcomics of all time. OF ALL TIME. Plus you should see Avatar because it's AMAZING, and I can say that because I recently marathoned all three seasons and I'm like so in love with it it's crazy. It's pretty much the deepest, most epic kids' show ever. Plus it is also painfully, ridiculously hysterical. And I cried at least two separate times. And you can watch the whole series online for free here! 8DD
/rant

@Yagi: DERP SIBLING PHOTOS ARE NEEDED SO BAD IT HURTS. I'm like extremely excited for Akicon and I know I say it ALL THE TIME but sldkfjsldkjf SO EXCITED MAN. SO EXCITED.

@Hashi: gneeee Denmark :> Expect me to fangirl over you just a little as Denmark, since he and Spain are like my favorite Hetalia dudes (AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE BEEN BOTH OF THEM WHAAAAAAAT)

@Naru: YES I WILL COME SAY HI TO YOU GUYS AT MEWCON~~


I think I might be Rosa on Day 0 for Sak, since I really love her and I don't think I'll have time to be any other time. But I might not feel like being in full cosplay for Day 0 since I'm lazy 100% of the time. So I don't know why I'm typing this out but now I'm too lazy to delete it

[sandrobotticelli]

@Hashi: Yes indeed. Though I'm still deciding if I want to focus more on Celtic (possibly Norse) archaeology or Turkish. I am looking into the Turkish ones currently (and am taking Turkish as well.)  Ah, that's awesome! I'll definitely have to look into that, bookmarking the site now <3.

Oh have you? Awesome! It's so rare to see an Ash and Angela cosplay. Is it in the works?

@Jaqua: Great! I'll look into both~ :3

[Auricle]

@Yagi: Friday is perfect~ My mom wanted to go up to Portland to see a movie in the afternoon anyways, so I'll tell you what time I'll be there once I know. > w <

@Sandro: You have an agave? Ee, tasty~ Though I don't think I could bring myself to eat something like that. Even just seeing canned cactus in the grocery store makes me feel bad. ; w ;

I guess a lot of us have established character types that we cosplay. But why am I always the main character~? > 3 <

[sandrobotticelli]

@Auricle: Yes indeedy! Oh yeah...though some of it is tasty *dies*
Oh! Oh! Guess what?! So I'm getting my  viking outfit for Halloween and since I won't have my Norway wig I do in fact have a long orange/blonde wig and was thinking of doing some type of femmy Thorne XD

[Naruchan]

@jaqua- YAY! 8D The Universe will bless us with her hello. hurhur

@Sandro- DO IT! I KNOW I SAID IT EARLIER! BUT DO IT!

@Auricle- o3o I cosplay spoiled brats. XDDD Its the inner me.

[Auricle]

@Botticelli: Do eet~ It would be so cool! > w <  I would love to see it. <3

@Naru: XD I cosplay characters with derpes. Together we're...Awesome? Yeah, I'm gonna go with that. : D

[sandrobotticelli]

Auricle: Ok! I'll try to get some nice make up to possibly make me look at least a tiny bit manly XD

if it makes you feel any better, I ALWAYS cosplay psychos and/or villains.

[Naruchan]

@Auricle- YES! TOGETHER WE RULE TEH WORLD! 8D

@Sandro- XD and this is why Russia didn't fit me well when I cosplayed him. XD LOOK MANLY! MAAAAANLY!

[jaqua]

I'm generally the girlfriend/love interest, I think...

[Naruchan]

It works.

[Hashi]

@Sandro: Ash unfortunately, is post-Denmark, along with..most of my cosplays other than Jet, Kurogane, Mephisto and Denmark XD; but for Ash I was planning wings, so it had to wait.

I used to cosplay the nice, somewhat quiet characters, or main characters (Sora, Roxas, Lithuania,..Germany doesnt count) but for some reason I just did a 180 XD;

@Jaqua: YOURE MY BRO. and...love interest type person. btw did you know da has a June/Jet club?

[Auricle]

@Jaqua: You're generally AWESOME.

@Botticelli: I...I'm not sure if that makes me feel better exactly, but I'm okay with that. : D Are you going to make yourself deathly pale too?

[sandrobotticelli]

@Hashi: Ah, I figured that was the case. Yeah, the wings really add to the cosplay.

@Auricle: Ahaha, well the hero is better than the villain, correct? Well, I guess it would depend on the series. Heh. I am aiming for it! I had some very pale make up that I let a friend borrow for K-con and they never gave it back x.x so I'm hoping they still have it and I can use that instead of buying more :/. I might try to give myself some higher cheek bones. I'll play around with different shades and whatnot.

[jaqua]

@Hashi: NO I DID NOT KNOW THAT, LINK PLZ? I NEED JUNE/JET I THINK. Also YES we're bros, we're such bros it's CRAZY. I enjoy being bro characters. And love interest characters as well. I LIKE EVERY TYPE OF CHARACTER

@Auricle: pffff ilu<3 YOU'RE generally awesome~

[Hashi]

@jaqua: http://junet-atla.deviantart.com/ not terribly impressive club-wise, but I mean, its pretty obscure. the world isnt as crazy as us. unfortunately.

[Malaria]

For a long time, I was the guy with glasses every single time, even if the guys with glasses were reasonably different character types. But lately I've been expanding, more Really Excellent Women and some silly boys. I even get to be The Hero at least two times in the future. : D

[goatchild]

JAQUA. I JUST REALIZED. YOU ARE GONNA FREEZE YOUR A$$ OFF AS SHURA AT SAK. Just fyi in case you didn't know.

@Auricle: We will see you Friday then! : D

I would just like to state for the record that even though Hashi is taking over the role of asshole characters, I have not started taking on her former role of timid characters. With the exception of Abel. Who is a complete clusterfuck of wtf anyway. My typical character has just become more booby and more manly. Not at the same time of course usually.

[jaqua]

@Hashi: It saddens me that they aren't that popular, and I feel like we should work to fix this. Epic minor characters always need more recognition and appreciation.

@Valeria: You're the character who everyone wants to hug. Or maybe I'm biased and I just always want to hug you.

@Yagi: ... I SHALL BRING A JACKET? xDD Oh snap. I need to read AnE so I can see how much I'm going to freeze. What does she wear? I just realized I have pretty much no idea.

[jaqua]

And

My typical character has just become more booby and more manly. Not at the same time of course usually.

Except for Yuuko.

[Hashi]

@Jaqua: completely agree. So a sexy/evil/good/whatever-side-their-on photoshoot needs to happen.

and yeah, youre gonna freeze

AND MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. Yuuko=manly woMAN

[Malaria]

Jaqua: You are so totally biased. XD But that's okay, 'cause I love hugging you too~.

Shura wears a bikini, shorts and huge boots. Sometimes she wears shirts, but not often.

[goatchild]

@Jaqua: Well, there's this outfit from the most recent chapter. That's pretty much about all the coverage she has with any of her outfits.

[jaqua]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF--

Okay. I'm really excited to be Shura now. I will suffer and be happy about it.

[goatchild]

I think that's definitely my favorite of her outfits. Spider bikini, spider scarf, and fuzzy short shorts. I mean really. It doesn't get much more aweosme than that. XDD

[sandrobotticelli]

Jacqua: Oh dear you ARE going to be freezing! :x But ...it's still a cool cosplay nonetheless

Also, just started reading the Hanna is not a Girl's name~

[goatchild]

@Jaqua: This outfit has a shirt at least. And a colored version! 8D

@Sandro: Yay Hanna! It just gets better and better with every new character they introduce. X3

[jaqua]

@Yagi: I'll probably get a shirt to wear for when I get cold/don't feel like wearing just a bikini top. xD SO I'LL PROBABLY TRY TO REPLICATE THAT ONE. Also FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF her hair. HER HAIR. IT'S WONDERFUL. HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO MAKE A WIG DO THAT. HASHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

@Sandro: Yagi speaks truth! Man, as soon as Doc and Veser and Toni and Casimiro and Finas and Ples and EVERYONE come in it's just AMAZINGGGGGGG. Do you like it so far? 8D

In similar news, I'm halfway through chapter two in AnE! 8DDDD

[sandrobotticelli]

@Jaqua: Yeah I like it a lot! I think the zombie is my favorite <3. He looks so cool too! :O
I love that Hanna is always changing his name xD

[goatchild]

@Sandro: Yay~ I'm glad you like it! I was gonna say that Zombie is one of the best characters ever, but really EVERY character in Hanna is one of the best characters ever, so... yeah. He is pretty awesome though. : D

@Jaqua: You forgot to mention Lamont! He's totally in my favorite part of my favorite scene of the entire comic! That last panel. So wonderful. C8

AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, NOT 10 MINUTES BEFORE YOU POSTED HASHI COMMENTED TO ME ON HOW RIDICULOUS SHURA'S WIG IS GONNA BE. XDDD And I'm so glad you're reading it! Isn't it the most shounen-tastic thing ever? 8D

[jaqua]

@Yagi: HOW COULD I FORGET LAMONT OMG HE'S AWESOME. HE AND WORTH CRACK ME UP. I think Worth just feels the need to beat up on everyone he comes in contact with.
HASHI AND I ARE TOTALLY ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH MAN, THAT WIG IS GONNA BE CRAAAAAAZY AWESOME/DIFFICULT/AWESOME. AND YES IT'S SO SHOUNEN, IT'S WONDERFUL, I ACTUALLY KIND OF LOVE IT SO FAR.

[Naruchan]

@EVERYONE- YOU ALL GIVE ME SO MUCH STUFF TO READ EVER.

just saying.

I was wondering if any of you guys have read the manga Karneval, its pretty cool and I've been reading it for a while now. XD If y'all possibly want to venture into the awesome its on mangafox.
It's got some really awesome like, XD Well, circus and carnival stuff, its really interesting. 8D Have a read possibly?
I get recommended so much stuff from you all, XD I felt I should recommend something back.

[jaqua]

@Naru: I miiiiigggggghhhhhhht look into it... I generally don't read or watch any anime/manga so even reading AnE is weird for me. But hey I'll give it a try.

@Hashi/Yagi/Valeria: FFFFFFFFFFFF YOU GUYS OMG, RIN AND BON ARE SO CUTE WITH THEIR MATCHING HAIRCLIPS, I'M FANGIRLING AND IT'S GETTING ALL OVER EVERYTHING AND OH MAN THIS IS KIND OF ADORABLE

[jaqua]

Whelp I just read all of AnE in one sitting

Oh man

I don't even know if it's possible for me to more excited for Sak at this point, I might just explode

And yep, I am going to freeze my ass off as Shura

[Malaria]

Sandro: YEEEEEEEEES READ IIIIIIIIIT

Naru: Hashi and Rekka and I have read Karneval. I know we wanted to cosplay from it at some point, but that's such a vague future thing that it's sort of whatever.

Good job Jaqua. <3 I'd been wondering why the most recent post was at 5 AM.

I will lend you my jacket like a gentleman so you aren't as cold. Because this is very in character. Yes.

[Felix]

hrrrrrg
I should just give up on this thread
it moves too fast for me



.....I think I was actually going to say something relevant but I lost it while reading through the four pages of replies since my last post.
<_<;;;

[Malaria]

FELIX YOU CAN'T GIVE UP
THIS THREAD IS YOUR HOME
YOUR HOME FOREVER

we aren't letting you goooo

[Felix]

8'C


I just
no time

[goatchild]

@Jaqua: YAY~ ISN'T IT JUST AMAZING? AND THAT LAST CHAPTER WITH THE CLOTHES BURNING OMG SO CUTE! 8DDD
I LOVE BON!! If I was more of a manly man and didn't have to shave the sides of my hair for Sokka, I would totally cosplay him. >w<
I will give you creepy demon cuddles to keep you warm. <3 And I'm sure Hashi will be happy to wrap you up in her ~*FABULOUS*~ cape, also all creepy demon/circus master like. XDD

@Naru: As awesome as Karneval is, I'm pretty sure I won't get around to reading it unless the PoSms make actual concrete plans to cosplay it. But I'm sure I will indeed read it. Eventually. If only for the sheep.

@Felix: HEY YOU I might need to ask you about how you made your gorgeous fire nation boots sometime soon. But right now I'm almost late for class. :x

[sandrobotticelli]

Just finished Hanna is Not a Boy's Name up to the latest point~
It's very good! Not to mention quite funny.I understand what you mean, all the characters are pretty awesome. Hehe

Naru: No, I haven't read that. Maybe when I have a wee bit more time on my hands I'll look into it. Though mangafox usually gives my comp a virus for some reason xD;;

[Naruchan]

@everyone who reply'd to me ever- I read it forever ago, and I'm catching up to it. 8D I was curious! I really wanna cosplay it so, fo serious, I'm considering it for 2012. XD Just saying.
D: I'm at school right now and they have Mangafox blocked. BLASPHEMY!! THIS IS A CONTROVERSY!

I'm curious to actually see what AnE is about, so, I may actually read it just to see what its about.

[jaqua]

@Yagi: OH MAN IT WAS REALLY GOOD, I SERIOUSLY DO KIND OF LOVE IT WHICH IS SAYING A LOT FOR ME. And fffffffffffffff BON, he's just so cool I love him gneeee :'D Rin is my favorite so far but the two of them together is the ULTIMATE bro pairing. They're so silly I love it <333
AND YEAH BASICALLY YOU GUYS ARE GONNA BE THE COOLEST RIN, AMAIMON, AND MEPHISTO EVER. AND ANY HELP OFFERED FOR NOT FREEZING WILL BE APPRECIATED 8DD

@Felix: IF YOU WANT, I CAN TEXT YOU WHEN THE THREAD EXPLODES SO YOU CAN BE WARNED/JOIN IN

@Valeria: Yeahhhhhhhhh I planned to only read the first volume, but then I had to continue to the second, and then I was like "I'LL JUST STOP AFTER THIS CHAPTER" but then I COULDN'T so I just had to KEEP READING and then all of a sudden I couldn't read anymore and it was 5 AM and I was like "what just happened"

[sk_chan]

Naru: Hashi and Rekka and I have read Karneval. I know we wanted to cosplay from it at some point, but that's such a vague future thing that it's sort of whatever.

I've actually already cosplayed Gareki. It was a random of-the-moment summer version, since I couldn't find his long blue coat (and it was hot that day...)

Here's a picture of it: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs522.snc3/29708_397755065771_506050771_3988028_6018673_n.jpg

I haven't brought it to any cons though (wore it to a cosplay meetup at a park, Gasukan) because I don't have anyone else cosplaying Karneval, and I really do want to get his long coat for that, anyway.
