I was gonna post about my Damian Wayne faces but then I realized you're all on Tumblr so I was like lol whatever

but seriously guys why does Damian gotta be so boy-shaped? I want to cosplay him so much sob

jaqua · « **Reply #5051 on:** July 14, 2011, 03:08:29 am »

Lolololol yeah I feel like Tumblr has taken over as a more primary form of communication between us... I totally did man makeup on myself because of you and Hashi and your Jason/Damian adventures and with my current bleach blonde hair I looked oddly more masculine than I ever did with auburny-brown, I'm a little confused by this

TORI I DON'T EVEN KNOW I KEEP SEEING YOUR MESSAGES BUT I ALWAYS GET THEM AT THE WORST TIMES AND THEN I TELL MYSELF I'LL RESPOND TO THEM LATER AND THEN I KEEP FORGETTING UNTIL LIKE 3 AM AND THEN IT JUST CONTINUES ON REPEAT FOREVER THIS IS MY LIFE AND IT'S HARD AND NOBODY UNDERSTANDS

What jaqua why are you blond
I am displeased

jaqua · « **Reply #5053 on:** July 14, 2011, 01:53:43 pm »

I was bored with my hair and I wanted to do something more fun with it so I bleached it :3 I'm gonna dye it less of an obnoxious yellowy-orange later since that's what it is now, and hopefully make it more of a medium slighty ashier blonde to kind of compliment my skin tone a little better because yellowy-orange isn't really my color turns out :I

jaqua · « **Reply #5054 on:** July 14, 2011, 01:55:09 pm »

Also this is just a temporary "how do I look blonde" experiment I'll probably dye it back to red or brown an some point in the nearish future because being blonde kind of washes me out

See, for me HP is already over.
It ended when I read the last page of book seven. (not counting the epilogue because it was just disappointing.)
The movies are like its dying throes, or its ghost that has yet to dissipate. I have already accepted it, mourned, and moved on.

That's exactly how I feel.

This makes me feel better. I was starting to think I was the only one. (Epilogue disappointment included?)

Jaqua: POST PICTURES.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #5057 on:** July 14, 2011, 05:48:49 pm »

Yes. It just reminded me too much of a sappy fanfiction.

jaqua · « **Reply #5058 on:** July 14, 2011, 08:03:35 pm »

I got a better color and I'm gonna dye it after the movie tonight to a more real blonde so I'll post pics after that too.

Also since that's not actually a very good representation of the color here's a photo in natural light

at least I hope that's slightly better ugh but it's definitely just sort of a yellowy-orange blonde that's more of a white blonde at the roots. So. Yeah.

Felix · « **Reply #5059 on:** July 14, 2011, 08:32:41 pm »

Yeah... I mean, I understand why she did it? But the end of the book was a really solid ending on its own; the epilogue was just superfluous crap tacked on to prove that yes, Harry's story really is over. Epilogues are very rarely done well... I can only think of one that actually added something worth reading and didn't leave me feeling the book would have been better off without it.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #5060 on:** July 15, 2011, 03:28:40 pm »

Jaqua: I want my hair to be that color ;3;~
I like it.

Felix: I agree. I think the actual ending was a good way to leave it off, the epilogue just seemed to be, as you said, superfluous. I also agree that a majority of epilogues are usually just 'meh'.

Felix · « **Reply #5061 on:** July 17, 2011, 01:59:14 pm »

I think authors include them because they want the sense of closure, but usually all of the things the characters did after the story ends aren't relevant so it's just... meh. Who really cares how many kids the Hero and the Love Interest had after they got married? Trying to add things after a solid ending makes it less solid... I'm at the point of wanting to not read epilogues at all.

Hey Hashi, you still have my Yukio wig, right?

TalkNerdToMeBaby · « **Reply #5062 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:01:10 pm »

So... For those of us not shacking up in that apartment. < <; What's rooming looking like? I'm still willing to split costs. Just need to know what's going on. <3

Malaria · « **Reply #5063 on:** July 20, 2011, 10:59:18 pm »

I don't think anyone has a plan yet. It looks like our original plan fell through too. D: Maybe if you reserve a room and then people will find out as the con comes up whether or not they can stay with you?

TalkNerdToMeBaby · « **Reply #5064 on:** July 20, 2011, 11:04:25 pm »

Emilee says she's booked the room already at one of the hotels, and that she doesn't want it as packed as Sak. I spoke with her on facebook today. :] She has it for Sat night and Sun night.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #5065 on:** July 24, 2011, 12:35:11 am »

Sorry this took so long Valeria. I finally did the sketch I promised .

jaqua · « **Reply #5066 on:** July 26, 2011, 09:55:01 pm »

So I've now finally seen all of Young Justice and I just wanted to say that I really want to cosplay Artemis because I think she's hilarious.

Malaria · « **Reply #5067 on:** July 26, 2011, 09:58:57 pm »

That makes perfect sense.

Dude. If you made that and let me borrow your labcoat, I could be Dr Roquette. We could find Roys to be mean to.

jaqua · « **Reply #5068 on:** July 26, 2011, 10:01:12 pm »

HAHAHAHAHA YES I LIKE IT LET'S DO IT

Malaria · « **Reply #5069 on:** July 26, 2011, 10:18:38 pm »

Do we know anyone who's cosplaying Roy?

DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT. I'm definitely cosplaying Robin to Sakuracon and ECCC. And my friend Ry (that one Terezi cosplayer who seriously fangirled your Worth) is gonna be Wally. DO IT AND HANG OUT WITH US, IT'LL BE GREAT

Malaria · « **Reply #5071 on:** July 26, 2011, 11:31:03 pm »

Aren't ECCC and Sak within a week of each other?

Yyyyes. I'm thinking I may just spend that week in Seattle. If not, ECCC is the con that's a sure thing, because it's way more relevant to my interests at this point.

jaqua · « **Reply #5073 on:** July 27, 2011, 12:50:17 am »

I really really really really really want to go to ECCC so we should try and make that a thing. And I will totally spend a week in Seattle (assuming I'm rich enough which hopefully I will be) in order to go to both. But yeah... I love Sak but ECCC is definitely more what I'm feeling at this point in time. Especially since my Sak cosplays are looking at this point be entirely superhero cosplays, probably Hawkeye, Wonder Girl, Artemis... Maybe Batgirl or Supergirl or someone else too.
I WILL TOTALLY HANG WITH YOU GUYS AS ARTEMIS EEEE

Know who's cosplaying Roy? Kim (aka Kibs) is cosplaying Roy. And Hashi I was wrong, she's not cosplaying the Jason/Starfire/Roy version of Roy, she's doing yellow hat version. So she'd fit with a YJ group.

Malaria · « **Reply #5074 on:** July 27, 2011, 01:01:43 am »

SPEEEEDYYYYY

I like Arsenal best, but Speedy is also great.

Is ECCC cheaper? 'cause this is relevant to my interests.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #5075 on:** July 27, 2011, 02:06:41 am »

Oh awesome you guys are doing Young Justice! <3

~~I could modify my Black Canary to the same style of the outfit she wore for Young Justice if you guys end up doing the group for Sak <3.~~

jaqua · « **Reply #5076 on:** July 27, 2011, 02:26:01 am »

I really don't know anything about ECCC other than it's a comic convention in Seattle and it's in the convention center and it's around the same time as Sak. So. That's probably something I should look into.

FFFFFFFFFFF yes please be Black Canary and then just beat up every Superboy you see which will be Manny actually because he cosplays YJ version of Superboy. So. Yeah.

Felix · « **Reply #5077 on:** July 27, 2011, 04:10:18 am »

hey valeria, did you see this? I posted it on tumblr a while ago but you didn't reply. (can you even reply on tumblr? it still kind of confuses me.)

Malaria · « **Reply #5078 on:** July 27, 2011, 09:35:08 am »

EEEEEEE

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #5079 on:** July 27, 2011, 01:22:52 pm »

Jaqua: Oh man I should! Too bad they're probably all going to be stronger than me, especially Manny. I bet he could snap me like a twig. Haha.

Felix: That looks awesome!

Malaria · « **Reply #5080 on:** July 30, 2011, 10:44:58 pm »

I was just looking at the ECCC page and their 2011 guests made me hnnng
If the guests and stuff are half as good this year, I say we do ECCC instead of Sak
Also doing con before the term starts is REALLY GREAT I THINK

TalkNerdToMeBaby · « **Reply #5081 on:** July 31, 2011, 11:48:06 pm »

I'm totally down for either. Big Sister works at both. Haha. I'd like to split a room with you all again, if that's okay. :3

AND THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO CAME TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY.

Hashi · « **Reply #5082 on:** August 03, 2011, 12:38:01 am »

..Now Im beating myself up for never ever ever checking this thread.

Because I dont.

Jaqua. I didnt know Manny was being YJ Superboy. confidence is gone. Im going to hide behind Hulkling and gallons of liquid latex for the rest of my life.

Lonely. Without a Wiccan.
Just with Tommy/Yagi. Eating pistachios.
That'll be my life.

Big and Green and a little bit broken.
Like an oversized pistachio.

EDIT: Wait. YJ CARTOON Superboy? or YJ COMIC Superboy? ..Im doing 90's comic Kon. So if Manny does the Cartoon one then thats fine. Theyre like two totally different people and bodytypes.

Emileesaurus · « **Reply #5083 on:** August 03, 2011, 07:14:14 am »

HASHI I THOUGHT I WAS BEING YOUR WICCAN

DON'T TELL ME I GOT FIRED

Hashi · « **Reply #5084 on:** August 03, 2011, 09:45:11 am »

I THOUGHT YOU QUIT??

Emileesaurus · « **Reply #5085 on:** August 03, 2011, 09:47:18 am »

NNNNNNNO? When is this happening? I'll totally still do it. <3

Hashi · « **Reply #5086 on:** August 03, 2011, 09:54:04 am »

Uuummm Sakuracon at the latest?

I've started working on Hulkling already, but its super time intensive. So Im not sure how early I can get it done, but I do know Sakuracon is my deadline.

Malaria · « **Reply #5087 on:** August 03, 2011, 12:07:06 pm »

OR ECCC
IF WE DO ECCC

Emilee thank god you're doing Wiccan now I don't have to convince myself to try it

Hashi · « **Reply #5088 on:** August 03, 2011, 12:31:42 pm »

Can I have a harem of Wiccans?

I'd be cool with that.

Just sayin'.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #5089 on:** August 03, 2011, 01:01:10 pm »

Hulkling and Wiccan? Awwwwwwwww yeeeeeeaaaaaaaah~<3

I second the idea of a harem of Wiccans. That would be fantastic.

I think Manny would do the cartoon one, since that's the one he has done. Unless he's going to change it up in the future or something. :x

jaqua · « **Reply #5090 on:** August 04, 2011, 01:46:24 am »

Yeah Manny's doing the cartoon version. Ty did the version you're doing but I don't know if he's gonna wear that one a whole lot.

Sometimes I wonder how I'm going to afford all these cons and it freaks me out but then I remember that I'll get to that when I get to that and then I'm okay again

Hashi · « **Reply #5091 on:** August 04, 2011, 01:49:35 am »

Awesome. Because I spent today with an electric knife cutting out pieces for a muscle suit for superboy.

also. Good mindset.

Malaria · « **Reply #5092 on:** August 04, 2011, 01:55:25 am »

I need to get back to Eugene to pick up my fabric and stuff so I can actually work on things
bleeeh

YOU DONT KNOW HOW HORRIBLE CUTTING FOAM WAS BEFORE THIS CAME INFO OUR LIVES.

WE PRACTICALLY SANG FOR IT AND THREW IT A WELCOME PARTY.

jaqua · « **Reply #5094 on:** August 04, 2011, 02:37:05 am »

Foamy butter mmmmm

Yeah that's pretty much just the motto of my whole life, if it's not immediately applicable to my situation I ignore it until it is and deal with it then
it seems to be working pretty well so far

Felix · « **Reply #5095 on:** August 05, 2011, 05:49:43 pm »

Wow I expected there to be like a billion pages of thread because I haven't checked it in forever but I guess not.

So what are the PoSm plans for kcon? I've been working on blue spirit a bit but I haven't started anything else... I'll definitely have that and at least a casual Yukio, if I don't have time to make the coat. Going by people's sigs it looks like those are still the plans, so I guess that's good! Do we know the schedule yet?

Also hanging out, we should make it happen.

Malaria · « **Reply #5096 on:** August 05, 2011, 05:54:51 pm »

ARE YOU BACK IN TOWN? CAN I SEE YOUR COOL HOUSE? BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOUR HOUSE.

Plans right now are super up in the air, 'cause a lot of us aren't managing to work on anything. The only thing for sure is Avatar.
RIGHT GUYS. YOU'LL BE FIXING YOUR AVATAR COSPLAYS SO WE ALL HAVE AT LEAST ONE COMPLETE COSPLAY FOR THIS CON RIGHT.

And probably AnE for a while, although I know I'm not gonna make anything new for it 'cause I suck.

Felix · « **Reply #5097 on:** August 05, 2011, 07:53:27 pm »

Okay then I won't feel so bad about just being casual version.
It will probably be too hot to wear a black trenchcoat anyway.

If you want to come by during the day sometime while my parents are at work that's probably best. My room isn't great for hanging out though, since it gets so warm...

.....I should probably preorder my pass too. What are the rooming situations? I'd like to know for sure I have someone to stay with and it seems like all the plans keep changing... (urgh I already missed the mail-order.... again.)

Hashi · « **Reply #5098 on:** August 05, 2011, 10:08:34 pm »

You guys.

Young Justice you confuse Teddy sometimes.
Y U ALL LOOK LIKE YOU CAME FROM A ROCKY HORROR SHOW??

Hashi · « **Reply #5099 on:** August 06, 2011, 12:39:12 am »

So Veryvery and Interpunkt are confirmed for ECCC but not for Sakuracon and Veryvery called me the cutest Teddy so Im more inclined to go to ECCC because Im a shallow shallow person.

Also. its before my Spring classes start and had 32,000 guests last year so its not small like I thought and guys I just wanna be giant and green and have people love me.Im tired of being an unwanted pistachio.
