Wellll, this is going to piss off all of you, I just know it. 8D;;;
(See, I cosplay for fun, not to impress anyone. Getting pictures is a bonus, and even then very rare since I cosplay lesser-known characters. From videogames.)
That being said...
Oh god,. you've opened a can of
rants worms.
SIZE
I have somehow become " THE Renji."
( It's tiring. I've tried to 'branch out' but people yell at me when I do ;_; )
Now Renji is like 6'4. I am 5'3.
I guess if your good enough at being the character, no one cares.
BOOBAGE
I do hate being so flat, but only becuase I have big shoulders and I think it makes me look like a man. Other than that, I'm cool with it.
Alll of my friends have ginormous bewbage and they have all been so very jelous of mine because my back doesn't hurt. I stand up perfectly straight ( something they apparently CANT do) and it is much easier and far less painfull to crossplay.
EYES
Yea it's cool. to have the rigth eye color, especially if it is bizzare but is soo NOT a must.
I would LIKE to have red contacts because I haver done Renji at everycon for the past two years and all that's left is to improve it a little each time. But my eyes are VERY sensitive and contacts would hurt like hell.
Now some people who LIVE for cosplay would say I'm being a pussy or w/e but no, it isn't worth it. My eyes hurt enough as it is.
WIGS
I HATE LOATH ABHOAR, DETEST, DAI KIRAI DA, NO MEGUSTA wigs.
1) They creep me out.
2) they tangle
3) I am covered in sticky fake blood the majority of the time. That is NOT good for wigs.
4) They ITCH.
5) I always hate to adjust it so you can't my hair
6) they creep me out
7) they tangle
they take up space
9) they creep me out
10) they can be very expesive
11) styling them >_<
12) they creep me out
I just kept dying it bright-freakin red.Then I wanted to other cosplays. Most of which have black hair. I also have been told I look very good with black hair.
Then for a parade I had to dye it brigth **** red from all-encompasing-darkness. I had to Bleach it three times and it RUINED my hair. Switching from red to bl;ack is TOO much of a pain in the ass so from now on, as painfull as it is I'll jsut have to use a mother f-ing wig.
PW
I have never seen the youtibe video. But if it's anything like M-Fing leek spin, then I feel your rage.
And yes, having soemone yell 'OBJECTION!" at me every 2 seconds in my Edgeworht costume is NOT FUNNY. Anymore I just respond with "SHTFU! It's my day off and I don't want to hear that sh-!"
"DESU"
This 'I speak japanese' in General pisses me off. First of all when I DO speack Japaense I end sentances with 'Da' It's funny because of the idiots who think they know Japense don't understand it all.
A while ago some girl was going off an elitist speech about how " I HATE it when people mis pronounce japanese words"
(Coming form a girl who says " Guren LaGAN" or "YaCHIru" )
So I decided to test her and said " I know like people are all 'OMG PAW-ky" Just as I thought she replied " Yea! I love PAW-ky!"
( note: it's POH-ky read the damned box)
OVERDONE CHARACTERS
This one is a double bladed sword.
Overdoen characters liek Ichigo, Inuyahsa and Ed are annoying becuase few of them TRY. It's the generic " I don't know any characters or have money to do it right'-costumes.
But if they do it right then hey, more power to them!
What I diloike even more, are people who hate ALL overdone cosplayers even the extradorniary well doen costumes.
It's unfortuante, there are some really awesoem characters who are unfortunatly in shows that are destroyed by their own fanbase, doens't mean the character or EVERYONE who cosplay them suck ass.
YOAI FANGIRLS
Hell, I love yaoi. yet I do not feel the need to scream it at the top of my lungs every five minutes.
Nor do I feel it nessecary to use it as 'shock value'. I'm sorry but, liking yaoi does not make you "OMG craaazy' or "hardcore".
Straight females generally like males. Not females. So two guys v guy/girl is obviously going to more appealing, now isn't it?
The horrible irony to this, is that you get much less of this mind-numbing behavior form the 18+ crowd ( so I've been told by Yaoicon goers) soo the ones making US look bad are minors, who legally shouldn't be seeing it at all. Thanks alot. >_<
"SOCIALLY INEPT'
I have a hard time making good friends at a con becasue I consider myself somewhere between 'nerd' and 'normal'.
I like anime and videogames. I also likE to go to bars and play pool with friends.
I know a lot of people who are COPLETE neards and terrified of as they say 'normals' and think alcohol is OMG yucky"
I also know some people who like to play pool, be social ect
But most of them only go to cons for the
rave Happy Family Disney Parties and maybe dress up as some non anime-meme costume and want nothing to do with videogames ( cept fighters and 1stperson shooters)
To be honest, a lot of the first-mentioned otaku are just soo Mither F-ing immature.
I don't get it. Yes, you CAN infact 'grow up' and still like anime. Please do so.
SCREAMING IN PUBLIC/BEING TOO IC ALL THE TIME
The most annoying of this are the Ed cosplayers who INSIST on screaming at the top of theire lungs IN Japanese that they arent short or w/e.
It stops being funny after the first 5 million times.
The first chess game we had an Ed. The first time she did it, yea okay it was kind of cute. But she must have done it ooh..20 more times. God I wanted her to STFU soo badly.
Just one more to add.
ICHI-TARDS!!! MUTHER F-IONG ICHI-TARDS!!
At this years Chess game pre-meet was an Ichi-tard
He was holding a 'materia' ( a large, very dense 'orb') I said " heh maybe you can throw that at the enemy"
He replied, in a very " OMG are you stupid-tone" 'Uum no. This thing is SOLID rock. If I threw it, it could kill soemone-"
He continued to go on and on, not even noticing that I had tuned him out and my friend and I were staring at eachother like " WTF is wrong with this moron?"
I chalk it up to him beign an Ichi-tard of the first degree thus taking himself FAR too seriously because of coarse he is the REAL Ichigo and thus god. ( Just one of many similar experiances)
To Ichi-tards,
YOU ARE NOT ICHIGO!
STOP TAKING YOURSELVES TOO SERIOUSLY.
STOP PICTURE-WHORING.
STOP TRYING TO SHOW EVEYRONE ELSE UP.
STOP YOUR GO**AMNED PREACHING ON WHY ICHIGO IS THE BEST AND EVERYONE ELSE IS A BIG MEANY.
AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP SHOWING OFF YOU COOKIE CUTTER-OVERSIZED STEAK KNIFE THAT IS TOTALLY COOLER THAN THE MILLIONS OF OTHERS JUST LIKE IT!
OH, BUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SWING IT AROUND?
GUESS WHAT, I CAN ACTUALLY BREAK IT!
Ehehe..that was fun. Now onto mid terms which I was supposed to have been doing. ^^
