Yeah, I haven't seen that much Eva either. ._.

But Kaizer outfit doesn't really look textured or shiny. I think you'd still be best off with lycra or spandex.

Hashi · « **Reply #2001 on:** October 21, 2010, 12:22:30 am »

There is just something wrong with an 11 year old wearing white spandex. I will figure this out..

READ GIRL GENIUS. I think you'll really appreciate it. http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20021104
And Gunnerkrigg Court. http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1

Both of these are excellent, and long enough to keep you occupied for quite some time!
If you want something else with a ridiculously long archive, I'd recommend Archipelago. The art is really rough at the beginning, but keep reading because IT GETS SO GOOD. The world it's set in is incredibly detailed, and the plot is interesting once it kicks in properly. (around book 3 or 4, but the first two are really short and it's definitely worth it.)
The Meek is really excellent, if you don't mind the nudity and blood. (it's not porny, though.) Excellent art and characters, and every panel is so well thought out!
Lackadaisy Cats-- this was the first webcomic I started reading, before I really knew webcomics existed.
Outsider is really good too, but it updates very infrequently and isn't that long yet. (I don't know if you're into sci-fi at all...)
AND RICE BOY. IT'S JUST... AMAZING. 8DDD

...I'll leave it at that for now! You have plenty to last a while.

(I'm kind of glad I don't read starfighter. It sounds horrible.)

....what Chirault-related thing? The minicomic? That's not... actually related to Chirault. xD;;;
(though the artist did tell me that you could easily pretend it was from Chirault, so...)
ALSO KERO I WILL BE COSPLAYING KIRAN YOU SHOULD JOIN MEEEE.

jaqua · « **Reply #2003 on:** October 21, 2010, 03:42:16 am »

Lackadaisy Caaaaaaaaaaaaats <33333 Man, if I wouldn't be seen as a furry, I would SO be Rocky. Or Ivy. Or Calvin. Or Mitzy. Or anyone really, since I love all the characters ;3; I suppose Tracy did draw humanoid versions so maybe someday if I feel like making room for 1920's clothing that no one will recognize as cosplay... 8D
And since I haven't read The Meek yet, I am doing so now. Along with Archipelago.

I've been meaning to ask Emilee where she got her contacts! So EMILEE. Two questions. a) What color are your eyes, and b) WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR ZUKO CONTACTS

Felix · « **Reply #2004 on:** October 21, 2010, 09:37:22 am »

Jaqua: speaking of obscure webcomic cosplays... I would make this for you if you'd wear it to a con with me. (no idea how I'd do it, but I would find a way!)
YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.
SOMEDAY WHEN I HAVE THE SKILL/MONEY TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD.

Side note: I found something physical that I'm naturally good at. I did not know this was possible considering my usual sportsfail.

jaqua · « **Reply #2005 on:** October 21, 2010, 02:31:47 pm »

A cosplay that has crazy weird hair and makeup? DUDE I WOULD TOTALLY DO IT. In that far-off "someday" that we will eventually make room for...

Wait what sport thing are you good at?! Is it parkour? I hope it's parkour. PARKOUR! PARKOUR! PAR-- A book? Gross. [/AVPS reference]

goatchild · « **Reply #2006 on:** October 21, 2010, 04:26:53 pm »

I've been meaning to read several of those comics. By which I mean they sound like something I'd like but I have no time to read them. >.o

I would just like to say that earlier today, while I attempted to force my face into making normal people expressions, I failed horribly and instead discovered three or four new embarrassingly grotesque faces that I can make. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY FACE WHY. I did almost find a way to BS the worried face, but it's not terribly attractive SO IT'S STILL TOTAL FAIL UGH.

jaqua · « **Reply #2007 on:** October 21, 2010, 05:04:03 pm »

@Yagi: I lol'd because I've had that problem my whole life... WHY CAN'T I MAKE NORMAL FACES. I have faith in you though. YOU CAN MAKE NORMAL FACES MAYBE?! We should practice making normal people facial expressions together.

Malaria · « **Reply #2008 on:** October 21, 2010, 05:33:02 pm »

OOH OOH I'LL COME AND LEVEL HEAVY CRITICISM ON YOU GUYS

Felix · « **Reply #2009 on:** October 21, 2010, 05:37:15 pm »

....I like your weird expressions, though. (at least you can make any expressions at all... half the time my face is just... blehhh nothing.)

I'm making a costume from that comic for Sak... but you have no time to wear another costume during Sak and I have no time to make it. (and you'd freeze in the cold Seattle spring.)

well, not a sport... but swordfighting. apparently I'm a natural. 8DDD

Malaria · « **Reply #2010 on:** October 21, 2010, 05:40:22 pm »

SWORDFIGHTING IS A SPORT.
Congrats, dude. Go beat some asses.

goatchild · « **Reply #2011 on:** October 21, 2010, 05:47:35 pm »

WE SHOULD DO A VIDEO/PHOTOSHOOT OF ALL THE RIDICULOUS FACES WE CAN ALL MAKE. That is such a better idea than PoSms intro video, yes? 8D

Malaria · « **Reply #2012 on:** October 21, 2010, 05:52:53 pm »

That would be brilliant. Like Auricle's and mine expression meme a while back that didn't work out so well. XD

jaqua · « **Reply #2013 on:** October 21, 2010, 05:58:05 pm »

@Yagi: YES I BELIEVE THIS IS NECESSARY. ESPECIALLY WITH VALERIA IN THE BACKGROUND LOOKING CRITICAL. I THINK THAT WOULD ADD AN EXTRA LEVEL OF "YES, THESE PEOPLE ARE PRETTY COOL, NOT TO MENTION AWESOME COSPLAYERS BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST SO DARN SILLY".

@Felix: THAT IS SO COOL. I'm really not that great at swordfighting. I think. At least when my step-brother and I used to take plastic baseball bats and try to beat each other up with them and called it "swordfighting" I was never very good at it. And yeah, I don't think I could squeeze in any more cosplay into Sak weekend even if I tried :/ What webcomic is that character from? I'm reading Archipelago because I just finished The Meek, by the way. Just keeping you updated. Or something.

Kero-sempai · « **Reply #2014 on:** October 21, 2010, 06:17:22 pm »

Okay, so this is just because I randomly clicked on a comic that the author of The Meek (who is awesome) recommended, but seriously:
http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/index.php
So entertaining. XD

Ohmigawd you guys these comics are all so awesome. 8DDD Suddenly I have so many more ways to procrastinate doing my homwork.

Yagi, you can make normal faces. You just have to be on the brink of passing out to do so. I have pictures. ಠ_ಠ Ridiculous face making party sounds like a good idea for the PoSms various members. Winter break is going to be full of fun times, all caught on camera. ; D
@Felix: OMG KIRAN REALLY?! 8D I WILL TOTALLY JOIN YOU *goes to pick out a character*

Felix · « **Reply #2015 on:** October 21, 2010, 07:07:13 pm »

Kero: YUSSS BDDDD
And Jaqua will (eventually) be Treelady, in case you haven't been following. 8DDD
(keep me updated!)
(also, Jaqua: it's this one)

THAT'S WHAT WEBCOMICS ARE GOOD FOR. xD
(and yes, I've gotten quite a few good recommendations from her comic plugs.. actually, I think that's how I found Arch.)

also, facemaking video = YES.

The SCA guy was giving us a really brief lesson and I just... nailed everything. C8

goatchild · « **Reply #2016 on:** October 21, 2010, 07:19:23 pm »

@Kero: My exhausted blank face is not the same as making expressions ~~at least that I know of~~. Or at least it doesn't help me make normal faces on command during photoshoots when I'm not supposed to be on the brink of passing out. XDD

I have a feeling this Funny Faces video is going to end up being random videos we take at cons and when we hang out, and then just patch them together, like "The Best of" PoSm faces or something. XD

Auricle, what are your cosplay plans for Sak?

Besides Hanna I have no idea. : D Whatever I happen to want to do and have the motivation to complete at that point.

@Everyone: Yesss face making video sounds awesome. XD Maybe collectively we can teach Yagi how to make normal faces. Or not. ' w ';

Malaria · « **Reply #2019 on:** October 21, 2010, 08:48:13 pm »

Good plan. XD If you want in on any of the other groups, you should say so, because more group is more better.

Auricle you should totally be Mokona~~!! So ccuuuutttee~!! X3

We don't really need anyone. >> If you're really looking for someone to be, one that you could do that's not only easy but YOU'D BE ADORABLE AS is Shiemi from AnE. She's the one on the bottom right with the plant thing here. She just wears a different yukata in every scene so you could just get a random yukata and a wig and you'd honestly be good. XD She also has a school uniform outfit which is also pretty easy.

But you should totally be Mokona cuz that's so much better~!! *w*

Malaria · « **Reply #2024 on:** October 21, 2010, 10:59:20 pm »

If you did her school uniform we'd need to get the same fabric for our ties, fyi.

Ohhhh, Valeria. I love you so much. That thread is my new favorite thread on the forums. I was waiting for a shitstorm to begin though and it NEVER HAPPENED. Probably because it's so late. But oh my god some of the mods on here.... So much rage. SO MUCH RAGE

Malaria · « **Reply #2026 on:** October 22, 2010, 01:10:01 am »

Auricle. >w< Together we are the cutestest.

Jaqua: WOULDN'T SHE JUST? THE CUUUUUTEST.

Ally and PVG are actually being super chill to me personally, they just don't want everything to explode horribly.
I am seriously waiting for hard trolling, though. Which I don't want because MY THREAD IS COOL LOOK AT THAT THOUGHTFUL DISCUSSION. DON'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME. ;3;

Yeah, I'm really kind of pleasantly surprised how chill everyone's being, but still. I can rage at other people's opinions. And I do. And I did.

BUT SERIOUSLY AURICLE WOULD BE THE CUTEST SHIEMI. SHE COULD SIT AND BE ADORABLE AND TALK ABOUT SUCCULENTS AND IT WOULD ALL BE IN-CHARACTER.

Now if only we could convince someone to be Yukio... except not, because that would be ridiculous and I'm pretty sure most of us are already packed in terms of Sak cosplay schedule. And his coat+utility belt are much harder to make. @~@

You have a lot more courage than I do. I would probably be too afraid to make a thread discussing something I really cared about that was extremely debatable because then I'd probably just go into a blinding rage when I came across people who opposed it. Oh lord, for some reason I'm being reminded of the Buddhism and Hinduism class I taught with the dumb students who were disrespectful and went on and on about them being false religions or even out-dated ones at that.

Auricle: You can talk to me about succulents at any time, because I don't know a thing about them ^^;

Sandro: It's because I believe I can dismantle just about any counter-argument to "equality good." Because at the end of the day, who's gonna say equality bad? Except Gryffinclaw Princess, but jesus, talk about a product of the patriarchy.

I'm sorry. People can be such insular wingnuts. :I

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #2035 on:** October 22, 2010, 03:40:22 pm »

Malaria: That's true, and if you know enough about a topic it's also much easier for a counter-argument. Wow, no kidding. I totally saw that...
It's amazing how many people would oppose it though, same thing with gay marriage. I'm always take aback by just how many people don't agree with it, and some of the reasonings are ridiculous.

Yeah they can be :/

goatchild · « **Reply #2042 on:** October 22, 2010, 06:47:23 pm »

We are now officially changing our group name from "The Potato Smashers" to "The C-List Superdudes". Just, you know, fyi. No, seriously.

Our new titles are as follows:

Hashi - Question-Mark Kid aka "Marky"
Yagi - The Glourious Basterd
Valeria - The Malicious Mosquito
Jaqua - The Heart-Attacker
Auricle - Succulent
Felix - CRYPTONIGMA (lawl)
Rekka - Sir Prize (cuz... you have so many costumes... so it's always a surprise what you'll wear... and... yeah. ._.)

And special mention to the head of our fanclub(/the Alfred to our Batman family??):
Kero - The Accommodator (something so pleasant never sounded so threatening O.o )

All names are still up for discussion if you have a suggestion, and individual super powers still need to be discussed.
That is all.

Auricle · « **Reply #2043 on:** October 22, 2010, 07:44:38 pm »

@Naru & Botticelli: I'm so so sorry, but I can't come tomorrow. ; x ; My mom just told me that I have to go to a D.A.R. meeting.

I chose it 'cause it's the last name you use on devArt, and 'cause it makes you all mysterious and magical~. Which you would be, if you were a superhero/villain/...whatever. We can always change it. Hashi wanted Felicis.
