Kumoricon
Convention Events and Programming => General Kumoricon => Topic started by: Anonymous on September 06, 2005, 09:06:51 pm

I 'tag-teamed' between Kumoricon and CascadiaCon this past weekend. Cascadia was an SF con that had 'some' anime programming, I found two Chobit-ses in the hall, the white one and the black one, and just about NO-body else had recognised them. (Poor, lonely cosplayers!) About 5 SF fans recognized my 'Laughing Man' spinning mask.
But I passed by one panel, late in the program, it was a slide show done by a fan in his EIGHTIES. He had been active as a fan since the pulp-fiction 1930's, and was showing b/w slides of conventions from about 1941 through about the '60s. This guy had partied with the likes of Robert Heinlien and Ray Bradbury and Ayn Rand. In anima this might almost be like saying you went bar-hopping with Osamu Tezuka back in the day.
So, based upon the Kumoricons of the past 2-3 years, what's it gonna be like at Kumoricon 2055?!? Think: there will have been THREE generations of teenagers growing up between now and then. Who knows what sort of technology will have been invented, too.
Will we all be making our own anime on personal pod-like animation computers, all in our own styles? Will it still be anime?
Whaddaya say?

In a world gone mad..... (excuse the change of tense...)
The otaku of Portland no longer have a convetnion to call their own. Throughout the northwest, a cancer spreads. What was once a group dedicated to spreading Joy and world peace now only concernes itself with fame and power. Crushing those in it's path, it has laid whole cities to waste for the destruction of one hotel. All groups who have fought it; Convention Staff, Industry Reps, Canadian Mounties, and even the legendary Group Beez whose names have been lost to time; all have fallen before the wrath of Pocky Club.
Pocky Club has a top floor suite with armed security bishonen and Boss Tomu sits behind a desk flanked by an elite quartet of ninja-death glomp cosplay babes known only as the Corvallis four. Pocky Club will refuse to be staff but will be a gigantic sort of yakuza entity, with hentai-like tentacles controlling almost every aspect of the convention.
The con staff will always be working hard to make the convention better and will have become very effective at getting guests and panels coordinated but are dependant on steady supplies of "donations" from Pocky Club so while they deny any official involvement they put up with their corrupt influence rather than end the convention entirely. Most staffers wish they could do more to help, but are in constant fear of the mewling drones that serve as Pocky Clubs lowliest thugs. Assailing staffers who get out of line with ear piercing whines about how last years con was better and that they were misinformed.
NOW, there is a select group of Yojimbo who have refuse to be bought off with pocky and glompings and promise of hot yaoi doujinshi. They are known as Goggle Squad Xenon and will be a force for justice. They remember the days before Pocky Club was corrupt and even worked with the Yojimbo to help Kumoricon be a safe place. Days they only heard in fairy tales. (more info on the goggle Squad Xenon Team later, but restassured they will be most awesome!)
The only one on the Staff who helps Goggle Squad Xenon is the Bronwyn 9000 Communications System, a Masive computer that has been installed in the hotel underground. "Brownie" supposedly has the brain of an old staff member suspended in a bath of LCL and caffeine to enable her to send information to any staff radio or computer instantly. The only reason that Boss Tomu doesn't control the Bronwyn 9000 is that his long lost love, Vallie the White encoded it with a password that no one knew just before she commited seppuku onstage during the 2014 karaoke contest. Vallie supposedly haunts the karaoke systems of the hotel and can be heard singing haunting melodies in Final Fantasy of Sailor Moon songs. Finally, a man with a mysterious past acts as the Gogglesquad's mysterious sensei he is huge and powerful despite his age. His heavily scarred visage and severe demeanor bely his saddened heart that has been hardened by tragedy after infinite tragedy. He is known as Master Batoonahto.
With the help of these three mysterious individuals Goggle Squad Xenon fights the vile and corrupt Pocky club in the hopes that some day their convention will be free from tyranny and vice.
So that's what I think it'll be like in the dark future of Battle Con Kumori: 2055!
Wow...... I might have to start this as an RPG!
Or a badass manga!
........I need more artists....
EDIT: In a world... (I'll edit it again if I get PMed the bios of the real goggle squaders)
-
Tom, you promise us a bright, bright future. :D
-
@_@...amen................nice storyline ^_^;;; i just might buy it if it becomes RPG ^_^
-
You forgot the DDR Max 17 tournaments with a case of Ramenawls (the spawn of "that marble drink" and bawls) as the prize.
-
Woo. xD I like The sound of that suite...

Okay, let's see here....
"In a world where Pocky was on the verge of extinction. He was a cross-dressing plumber with a mustache. Now...."
-
i approve
-
"In a world where Pocky was on the verge of extinction. He was a cross-dressing plumber with a mustache. Now...."
Road Warrior + Fist of the North Star + That one crosplayer Mario
I'd pay to see it.
-
My God. Can we please start designing a LARP system for this like right now?
-
Wait, I thought of a follow-through....
"In a world where Pocky was on the verge of extinction. He was a cross-dressing plumber with a mustache. Now...."
"He's a cross-dressing plumber... with a mission!"
-

"He's a cross-dressing plumber... with a mission!"
"With only the aid of his cute pocky loving cosplay girls, and a plunger of awsome power..."
-
^ was me.
-
Sounds like we have two alternate futures on our hands! I'll write me as the villain and you guys write me as the hero.
Then we'll have a crossover!
AWESOME!
Honestly though I see Kumoricon growing to about 2500 people and leveling off due to lack of more staff. This would be no problem however because Portland style is not to be a big city con. It is to be successful enough to be comfortable. I hope that that remains so over the years.
Please people, I'll make a Battle Con Kumori:2055 post elsewhere for us all to play in. (as soon as someone gets me the names of the Gogglesquad, all I know is Waffles and thejew)
-
the goggle squad is waffles thejew mushoku ghudda and dark hobo
-
I am tingeling with anticiaption. Really, you have no idea.
-
It occured to me that we may have as many as four warring factions by 2055:
1) The Pocky <strike>Yakuza</strike> Club
2) The Goggle Squad
3) The Yojimbo (Are we allied with the Goggle Squad?)
4) The Joebits (Bakazoku fangirls)

And don't forget the neutral team that supplies everyone: The Dealers
-
I dunno if the yojimbo are a seperate faction, that's like saying Programming or Gaming is its own faction. They're staff. Goggle Squad is it's own entity that happened to be staff this year.
Who was it that said we were too small a forum for usergroups again?
Hmmm?
I really don't want to go to war with anybody, except in my fanfic, which I WILL write up for next year. I have a lot of research to do for such a cyberpunk epic though. I think that I will make it into an RPG and have 5 specially selected players take the roles of the Goggle Squad Xenon members.
It'll be fun to make up futures for everyone and select who has decendants and who's still alive...
-
If I am not somehow mentioned in this, I will never stage a loud, messy In-Character breakup with you in a crowded hallway ever again.
-
Can I try making a manga of this too? Just for fun? I sounds really funny and I need something to draw.
(Kinda reminds me of .hack with so many variations going on)

*Waffles and theJew lean on opposite corners of the wall*
Waffles: Kumoricon
theJew: Pokki curaabu
Waffle: Pokki curaabu?
theJew: Cosupuree
Waffles: Kumoricon
theJew: Wait, something's missing
*Sailor Moon theme starts playing*
Waffles: Cosupuree

I'd love to see any drawings based on Battle Con Kumori: 2055, I know there's a certain someone else that mentioned some sketches to me already. Hee hee.
I'll write up character designs when I have the whole cast pinned down and I get a schtick for each of the assasins. I need a better name for them though, something that has to do with elite ninja glomp costume killer evil beautiful deadly.........or something...
What would you call the doujinshi with the fuku-wearing Plumber?
I made a joke with my girlfriend about calling Neko_chan's group the Tenchi no Tomu and making a crazy doujinshi of them that parodied Charlie's Angels as they solve crimes and catch bad guys, all while in great costumes.
-
theJew: Pokki curaabu
... pocky crab? xD
-
theJew: Pokki curaabu
... pocky crab? xD
Don't blame me, I didn't invent Katakana, I just use it to butcher my own native toungue.
-
Tom, I am in tears :)
That was almost as good as when someone asked what you would do to get to the con... and you said you'd eat a Klondike Bar!!!!
HEE HEE HEE! Worthy of repeating!
I so hope Brownie sees this. Maybe I'll print it off for future reference.
(BTW Can anyone tell me what the Z in ZOMG is for? I just thought it looked funny.)
-
The Z stands for nothing. It is just there to show that your excitment is so great that three letters just wont cut it. It's like the Z in Dragon Ball Z; it's just _there_.

Club
@Tom
Thanks. I already have a few drawing ideas I want to test out. :twisted:
(I've been using that smilely way too often recently)
And title......?
"Have a clog, Will wear a skirt"
"The Plumber who loved me"
"The Plumber with the Golden Skirt"
"The Con is not enough"
"License to Crosplay"
(This is what I get for looking at my James Bond box set (for the last 4))
-
hmmm hmm hmmmm well the goggle squad was a part of the yojimbos because i was yojimboing so yeah power to the goggle!
-
That was great Tom! ^_^ I was laughing so hard. You have such a great imagination.
Hopefully, when I'm 18 next year, I'll be on staff. I'd love to be security, and fight the evil Pocky Club! I can scare people. ^_^; That is a vantage point of being a six foot tall female with a loud voice and the ability to throw a hundred pound person across a room. *coughs* That wasn't at the con. It was at home, before/after the con.
Negima, you're great! ^_^ You're like me. You always need something to do. Even now, with my classes, I'm bored and need something to do.
-
Over the course of the next week I'll be outlining some character concepts and stuff. Now keep in mind that I'm going to be sticking to main characters and that while there will be some very clear parrallells, the members of Goggle Squad Xenon will actually be DIFFERENT PEOPLE. They will not be the actual current Goggle squad. The only survivors will be cyborgs and old people, like Boss Tomu and Master Bahtonatu. The heroes and other side characters will be our children or people that happen to be a lot like us.
I am currently figuring out ways to integrate Joe-bits and the Survival Horror Society.
Mwahaha...
Oh, and sketchers, the feel of this is dark cyberpunk, like X meets Ghost In the Shell. You grok?
Oh, if Sailor Mario.... how does the catch phrase go?
"When hunger crawls into the stomachs of otaku, that's when l'il plumber appears...."
Something like that.
Just what we need, my sailor Mario outfit with No Weenies costume additions....

Oh, and never leave yourself logged in when your boyfriend is going to use the computer....

GOGGLE SQUAD TO THE RESCUE!!!! "Goggle Squad Member - Mushoku"
-
and of course my explorer would not log me in for that post xD
-
Goggle Squad is involved? Awsome! Tom My mom gave me funny looks when she read what you wrote on my shirt OMG it was Halarious ^^:P
Once you release it I need to view it :P
-
Negima, you're great! ^_^ You're like me. You always need something to do. Even now, with my classes, I'm bored and need something to do.
Aww, thanks ^_^.
@Tom
Before your last post I already had an idea and drawing for the Goggle Squad but I'll try to make another following your description. I almost have it done; I just need to finish some minor details, shade it, and ink it. I'll try to post it sometime soon (I have a DA site) before I start making the Xexon version.
-
yeah yeah yeah so u wanna be a master!
-
o_o; Ohmygosh... -deep sigh-
You're all crazy... I'll just pretend not to know you now. xD
-
@Tom:
I offered ya sketches via lj. I can alter stuff to suit once you figure out character concepts and stuff, but I was a bit overzealous with enthusiasm for the concept, so I've done a couple conceptual things here and there already. Lol, if they doesn't work for your vision (HEE) you can call 'em fanart *dies!!* but, lemme know if ya wanna see them.
Capice, on the look/feel (which was pretty much what I thought), and on the fact that the majority of characters are at least technically all different people. Grazie for wanting to include the SHS... I'm sure we are ALL pleased and honored. Between this and your camping idea, you just rock. SO glad you're a member. ^_^
Lalala... *goes to draw sumore*
-
Goggle squad should just fight with themselves as comic relief lol
-
I would love to see everyone's art that my little setting intro has inspired so far. I need to be more familiar with the Goggle Squad though.
I mean, sure I know thejew, but what about DarkHobo? is he actually homeless or does he just wear the outfits Batman and Spawn throw in the trash? or maybe he's a goth that rides the trains after getting back from the war.....
Is Mushoku a kaiju like Godzilla? Does he at least have a radioactive breathweapon?
Does Waffles bleed maple syrup?
In order to parody the squad and integrate parts of them into goggle Squad Xenon I need to do research. First thing I'm going to do is go read their fangirl posts and maybe they will shed a little light on it.
If anyone has pictures of the goggle squad specifically let me know, I need faces to go with the legend.
EDIT: When I post the fic chapters where should they go? Mods? anybody? Down in the contests or something? I'm probably going to put them up on my livejournal too so I can just link them from here....
-
Also, thejew and Waffles are lovers. Not really lovers, so much as Waffles is walking sex god and he seduces thejew. So you need to make them both really pretty so that I can write bad fanfiction, yo!
"I feel so alone," he said, "all the rest of the Goggle Squad Xenon are so strong and manly and confident, but I never know what to do."
"If that so?" waffles asked, leaning in. Thejew cold feel Waffle's warm breath on his skin.
"Please, don't look at me like that." he said, turning away. Waffles grabbed thejew's chin and turned it sharply so that their noses were mere inches aapart.
"I will look at you however I please." At this, tears began welling up in thejew's eyes.
Waffles leaned in and licked the tears aways.
...and then they made bebes!
EDIT: Because I can spell the characters names right OK GO

o_o Ohmygod. Like. Marry me. Right now. -clings-
-
Yay! Because I never got to get married at the con.
-
I can't make them all bishies, I'm not making that kind of fanfic. However you are guaranteed at least three bishies.
Hmmm... Jewlius Tojiro is the leader of Goggle squad Xenon. Traced across his lithe frame are exotic tattoos, one for each of his many loves lost over the years. Their shapes seem to dance and look alive as Julius fights, the small figures leaping and striking each other. It is said that of the dozens of characters and animals that line his arms and torso, he has never allowed any to be placed over his heart. That is the place where he will place his final tattoo, for his heart cannot be true until his fight is won and the con is safe from injustice. He longs for the day where his loves name grace his chest forever. Until then he leads the squad from the front with passionate grace.
How does that sound for the first member of Goggles Squad Xenon?
-
he sound incredibly badass, but thejew *must* be Waffles uke. It is already canon. Do I need to send you the video?
(Goggleboys, can I send him the video?)
-

Like any good writer I'll leave the details to the fans. However I'm waiting for more info on the others, each member of Goggle Squad Xenon has a role to play. They'll all be cool but it's like a boy band or an RPG party.
Or to be more anime, like Gundam Wing. I have to figure out the style of each member to write them up. I could only write thejew because I don't remember talking to the others.
I'm dutifully awaiting the email replies so I can get busy.
-
Ah, Gundam Wing. "They're all straight! See, they all have girlfriends. Straight I say! Pay no heed to the spandex and the groping that the subtext." :wink: Fair enough. I will let the master do his work then.
-
Moo cow?
Woot go Tom!!
-
Yeah if you want you can send him the Vid. I thought it was really funny, lol.
Don't worry Tom We'll get the other to mail you, I salready have so... lol, NOw we just gotta get a pic of all of us :P
-
Urge to write story and draw characters... rising!
(Goggle Squad Drawing done. Just need to shade and scan. Will hopefully get it up late tomorrow.)
-
We want to see, we want to see, we want to see!
After all, we are the Gogglesquad's number one fangirl forever and they love us best!
-
We want to see, we want to see, we want to see!

Oh right, I should also point out the reason why it'll hopefully be up late tomorrow is because I don't have a scanner so I use one at the University.

Boo! It's Nightmare-chan22 again! :shock: When was I last on...?
Omg... Tom, you must have been so bored to have wrote this. But I was laughing so hard, I was crying.
I so wanna be in this! :D
-
Omg... Tom, you must have been so bored to have wrote this. But I was laughing so hard, I was crying.

Bored? It came to me like a vision, It was nearly instantaneous. I've just got to flesh out a story of their fight. I want the final battle where they take down Boss Tomu to be at the convention next year.
You'll definitely be in it. Hmmm.... how's this for your Sexy Assassin?
The Nightmare Lily (please translate to Japanese) if the second most feared member of Pocky Club's four elite-force ninjas. With the silence rivalling a hunting cat and the grace of cherry blossoms on a warm breeze, Nightmare moves throughout the convention doing the business of Boss Tomu. A Doctor of Psychology and Electronics, she is capable of driving her victim's slowly mad before finally executing them. Though she has a romantic side that enjoys classics of phobia exploitation and sensory deprivation, Nightmare has taken full advantage of the neurocybernetic revolution. Her top-of-the-line wifi headjack system allows her to tap directly into the brain of any target with a cyberjack and manipulate it with all the skill of a master puppeteer. One of her most artistic jobs was a Programming Director who refused to schedule the karaoke contest when he was told. The man began hearing everything that was said to him done in tone deaf sing-song with musical accompaniment, thanks to Nightmare's Manipulation of his inner ear. He now resides at a home for the mentally ill, where he was admitted after jabbing shards of a broken Ramune bottle in his ears to make it stop. It is said that Nightmare left the program in so that now the bad karaoke is all the man can hear.
How's that Nightmare? You just got the torturess spot on the list!
Now who knows the words for Nightmare Lily in Japanese?

Hey! Whatchoo got against Pocky Club! We are not enemies of the Goggle Squad! I hope to work with them in the future, my fic is just a story. It's not like I'm going to acually become some evil despot! That'd be against all that my club stands for!
I've had a chat with Neko and I'm going to be working on her character next. Then Waffles.
Yes, Waffles will definitely be coming up soon.
-
Ooooh, ok.
Have mien bebes! :twisted:
-
How's that Nightmare? You just got the torturess spot on the list!
Now who knows the words for Nightmare Lily in Japanese?
Here's a few words for you to play with....
"Akumu": Bad dream, nightmare
"Akumu no youna": Nightmarish
"Akumu no ____": ____ of nightmares
"Yuri": Lily
"Yuri on Hana": Lily
And picture update: Shading is done (it's B/W, sorry, only know how to shade in pencil). Just have to scan and load.
*Stands next to Neko_Chan*
And me. Me too. :D :D :D :D
-
Akumano Yuri (Yuri Akumano in the dub)?
-
You see? I'm such a genius that I make Yuri an actual character name.
Bwahaha! :twisted:
Damn that's awesome! I think I just added a new element to her character as well.
Hmmm.... I just realized I need a frame of reference with the other Pocky Club Shi before i can finish the profile for Neko-sama. How's this name sound though, Cat that Steals the Baby's Breath. The cool thing is that we might be able to find a Japanese word for the flower baby's breath and use that.
Negima, I'll work on integrating you but I can't promise it'll be as awesome insce you'r not going to be a core character like the Squad or the Pocky Club Shi. Would you like to be affiliated with the Goggle Squad Xenon, Yojimbo, Staff, Pocky Club, the Survival Horror Society, of some other group?
Also, do you want an homage or do you want to be "man from before" (old)?
-
LOL!!! *Read my side.* That was awesome! Great job Tom!
What do you mean, add a new element to my character? Yuri is Lily? I heard differently from one of my friends... but oh well, make it how you want. As long as I'm cool!
This story rocks! :lol:
-
How's this name sound though, Cat that Steals the Baby's Breath. The cool thing is that we might be able to find a Japanese word for the flower baby's breath and use that.
This may take awhile but let's see what we get....
"Neko": Cat (just to get that out of the way)
"Nusumu": Steal
"Nusutto": Thief
"Dorobou": Thief, robber (just for variety's sake)
"Akachan": Baby
"Akanbou": Baby
"Iki": Breath
"Kokyuu": Breath
Sorry, I'm trying to talk myself through this here.... So "Nusumu Neko" would be "The Stealing Cat." We still need possesive particle "no" in there for "Akachan no Iki" (Baby Breath; the breath of baby). I think we can drop the "wo" in between the two phrases to shorten it a little. So....
"Akachan no Iki Nusumu Neko" I think would be an exact translation if you kept in the grammer (which you can drop if you want for the names)
Oh, just thought of something. "Hanako" could work for "Flower child" instead of "Flower baby" (if you know kanji, "ko" would be the kanji used for kid). So maybe "HanakoIki Nusumu Neko" "The Flower Child's breath Stealing Cat" "The Cat stealing the flower child's breath". (?) Just playing around with the names a little.
Negima, I'll work on integrating you but I can't promise it'll be as awesome insce you'r not going to be a core character like the Squad or the Pocky Club Shi. Would you like to be affiliated with the Goggle Squad Xenon, Yojimbo, Staff, Pocky Club, the Survival Horror Society, of some other group?
Hmm, not sure. If you want you could make my character something like a loner or a "for hire"-type person (for whatever reason)(not that reason for those of you whose mind is in the gutter ><). I'm just trying to think something along those lines since I wasn't a part of those groups and relating to what happened before the Cosplay Contest. But if I had to chose among those listed... Pocky Club or Survival Horror Society I guess.
@Nightmare-Chan22
Actually found two results depending on where you look. On my Electronic dictionary it shows "Yuri" as the first option. On a Japanese/English website I sometimes check out, they also listed "Sayuri."
-
This may take awhile but let's see what we get....
"Neko": Cat (just to get that out of the way)
"Nusumu": Steal
"Nusutto": Thief
Oh, just thought of something. "Hanako" could work for "Flower child" instead of "Flower baby" (if you know kanji, "ko" would be the kanji used for kid). So maybe "HanakoIki Nusumu Neko" "The Flower Child's breath Stealing Cat" "The Cat stealing the flower child's breath". (?) Just playing around with the names a little.
I think I'm going to have to take it in another direction. I think I'll keep those though since she's going to be super stealthy. How about the words for "merciless", "cruel", and "ice". If they have a term of and icy wind that'd be prefect, like the North Wind. In english a warm breeze is a zephyr so we're looking for the opposite. Oh, and no pressure Negima. There should be more people around here capable of translating.
Also, when I said the flowerbaby's breath. I meant that there is a flower that people call "baby's breath" and it is used in lots of bouquets as a sort of dressing flower. If the Japanese have a specific term for that flower it would work well.
Nusuttoneko is not going to be the kind to "take your breath away" though. I think that will be one of the other two, so I'll definitely keep those in mind. Nusu is far too cruel to the boys, only the most foolish would reveal any sign of being attracted to her-
I better write her up before I start rambling.....

I think I can do that. I'll keep you in mind when I write up what's happened to the survival horror club. Mwa ha ha.... I gotta play more Silent Hill 4 before that happens though.

hey tom just to saywe really have no real leader just to say
-
@TomtheFanboy
There's a flower called Baby's Breath? Whoops ~_~;;.
*searching, searching, searching.....* Found it
"Kasumisou": Baby's-breath, also translates into "Mist herb/plant"
Also:
"Reikoku" (na): Cold-blooded, heartless, cruel
"Mujihi" (na): Merciless, cruel
"Koori": Ice
"Koori no": Icy
"Tsumetai Kaze": Icy Wind, Cold Wind, Chilly Wind
"Kitakaze": North(erly) Wind (I know you weren't looking for this exactly, just thought I should put it in)
"Hokubu no kouya": The wilds of the north (found this on accident, sounded cool)
@Everyone
Sorry I didn't give the link yesterday. For some reason my laptop wouldn't let me on to the KumoriCon website. Anyone else have that problem on Monday?
Anyway, here you go, my first drawing of the Goggle Squad: 2055 (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/22866666/)
And a few artist's notes, I don't really know what the Goggle Squad looks like so they're originally character designs. There are a few things I would have changed like the guy on the left but... oh well. I'm glad I got this done since I believe this is one of the few group drawings I have done. Feel free to comment/critique this, give advice, set it on fire, whatever you wish.
-
I'd so love to be a part of this, but alas, I'm not part of any major group except Fanfic. Hopefully I'll be some sort of staff next year. *sighs*

If it makes you feel any better, I was on staff this year and I don't get in. T_T
-
ladies, please, there's plenty of room for cameo appearances, especially among the poor poor staffers of 2055.
Hermisia, how the heck am I going to do Goggle Squad fanfic without at least MENTIONING their most important fangirl!? You'll be in there somewhere, I promise.
At the very least I'll have you be kidnapped and held hostage.
-
Yay! Hostage! *does a little hostage dance*
Can I go "Oh ho ho ho hohoho" a lot?
-
Lol, "When Pocky goes bad..." Great idea with this, Tom ^_^
Neko! We must go out and be corrupt ninja catgirls! And we shall keep all the pocky for ourselves! Mwahahahahaha!
-
whats this the plot thickens!
-
Yay! Hostage! *does a little hostage dance*

You mean like a villainess laugh? With the back of your hand against your mouth?

We should have like... totaly have... a panel or something on this. <__<

I'll bet this would pack them in at fanfic cosplay theater. :wink:

We need costumes then. <3

i want a costume!

You nee a bio first! :wink:
I think I'll be able to get one written up by the end of the weekend, most of my time on my home comp is busy with transferring my downloads to CD (I've got about 5 more gigs to burn).
I would absolutely love to do a Battle Con Kumori: 2055 cosplay, I'd get to play a bad guy in a suit and laugh evilly. However I dunno how Neko's going to get a costume for her character past her dad! *snicker*
-
Yay! Hostage! *does a little hostage dance*

Yes, with the back of my hand against my mouth, but not so much villaness as just slightly michivious and full of herself. Not like "Oh ho ho, I am plotting to do bad things," so much as "Oh ho ho, I am the only one who can see the true and pure love that you share."
But again, I leave it to you, Maestro.
-

Hmmm.....
*scribbles down notes*
I see. I was going to make you a different kind of fan, but I see you were thinking more "support character". No bother, I can easily change my concept. another benefit of taking so long to write the actual story.
-
"A different kind of fan"?
-
*pokes Tom* I wanna be involved too if it's not too much trouble ^_^
-
Wah! I'm so gonna cosplay for this! *Grabs Neko-chan.* We totally need to find out what our costumes should look like! :shock:
-

Haha, I'll have to loose weight anyhow. ^^; Says my character has top fashions? Nya. ;D She'll be Decorer/Fruits! Hahaha.
-hits Tomu with a paper folded fan- >_> Bah!

Yes yes, I'm actually leaving the specifics of the costumes up to the fanartists and sketchers and yaoi enthusiasts. Each of my dossiers is only going to include key components that make the characters distinct. Like's Jewlius' tattoos or Waffles' crosshatch lash scars, or the way that Doctor Negu always has a radio/flashlight on in his jacket pocket.
-

Hmmmm, a project to keep me busy. :twisted:
And, ah, really, what did you guys think of the "Go Goggle Squad" drawing? Good? Bad? Needs improvement?
-
I haven't found a link yet >.<
So I have no ideas on what we look like Lol
-
Nevermind Negima I was stupid and didn't look >.<
Sorry
-
Lol, wow. Funny people.
furture anime convention huh....that would be weird.
-
I thought they looked cool for having nothing to build on really. I'm sure you'll have a more "characterized" sketch when I finish all the dossiers. i'm still trying to figure out how to word Waffles' backstory. I want to make him seem wounded without dsounding to much like an emo wimp.
-
yeah please please please dont make me anything like emo! i cant stand emo can you also make me be a comedian cause thats what i am mate!
-
*tackles Tom to the ground*
You will create my character in a floating t.v.
...for lack of better wording of a request.
*coughs and dances off to the side*

Why doesn't waffles have hair?
Doesn't make sense, if you've seen him lol
-
@Tom
Hang on, I think you missed something here...
*Lowers voice about 8 octives*
"In a world..."
and you must include the word NOW somewhere...
Okay, let's see here....
"In a world where Pocky was on the verge of extinction. He was a cross-dressing plumber with a mustache. Now...."
Brings a tear to my eye...*sniff* if such a world existed, lol
-
*Falls over.* Sex scene... :oops:
Gah... hey Waffles... :oops:
-
yes em?
-
Sry... who were you at the kumori con? My friend and I are arguing over who you were.
Tom: Is waffles the same waffles in your story? :oops:
-
Why doesn't waffles have hair?
Doesn't make sense, if you've seen him lol
If you're refering to the drawing, remember, I have no idea what you really look like. Also I only knew there were five of you so I didn't really name who was who.
Semi-original characters (original design, not original idea I guess you could say)
-
Tom: Is waffles the same waffles in your story? :oops:
Technically none of my characters are relly "the same person". Most have some connection or allusion to the people we know here.
In the storyline our Waffles of the present is the "uncle Rob" of the Waffles in the story. While some other characters (like Boss Tomu and the Bronwyn 9000 Logistics Machine) are supposedly the same person 50 years later, others are just relatives or even an homage.
NONE of Goggle Squad Xenon are the same people as the current Goggle Squad. None of them. This gives us more artistic license with their characters and allows to have them do all sorts of things they would find out of character or even objectionable.
*que the yaoi*
-
ok i was the very very tall guy in the goggles not that hard to notice
and well we just say im the tall bald guy in the picture cause im the tall goggler

Well see I wasn't sure which doujinshi you like best, so kind of a sampler doujinshi. It's got some yuri, at the same time yaoi, but over on the other page is some hentai but then it switches into innocent shoujo-ai, shonen-ai, and some little ai. Then you've got some ninj-ai and some gund-ai-m.
-
no video exist!!!!!

*cough*
fine then. *sits down with pen and notebook* Then would you be so kind as to just tell me what you like as I cannot find anything recent on the forums relating of what doujinshi you would perfer.
*taps foot*

I'd want Doujin of Yuri Sakaki and Kaorin from Azumanga Daioh!
OOOHHH.
And have random Osaka moments with Osaka as a Sexy Ninja Assasin.
Just to piss off Tom. :D

>.<
NO!
There's your first hint, no Loli!
the girls from Azumanga Daioh are a special case for me, I don't want any slash from that group at all. I guess it's because I'm an education major, but they're all children that I don't think of in such dirty dirty ways.
There's plenty of other high school girls from OTHER anime that I have no such compunctions about. :twisted:
-
You want Magic Knight Rayearth doujinshi of Giant flying fish X Giant flying robot, don't you?
-
Grrrr!
Just because that's the only doujinshi that YOU PEOPLE have doesn't mean that all doujinshi is slash!
What's my favorite doujinshi right now?
It's a tie between THIS (http://bleedman.snafu-comics.com/?strip_id=0) and Kill Harry (http://kungfool.transpect.net/index.php).
However I need more anime doujinshi in my life.
-
So I bought a bunch of slashy doujinshi, and I was hding it in my cello case, but now I can't find it and that means that somewhere in my mother's house is a bunch of manga with Sirius and Remus doing naughty, naughty things. I am kinda worried about how I will explain this to a mother who has never heard of slash.
