I have a significantly busier con season this year, and that is both exciting and yet mildly terrifying to me(more my wallet). Thankfully, none of these fall before I am graduated, whoohoo /o/
My first con, after G-Anime (AND AFTER I TRAIN DOWN TO CHICAGO TO VISIT MY ZUS, MY BELGIUM, MY PARTNER IN CRIME,
Alistaere IN APRIL), will be Anime North'11 in Toronto, and then nothing again until Otakon in late July in Baltimore. After that, and rounding out the con season for anime/gaming/et cetera will be Fan Expo in late August in Toronto. Fiiiinally, I have a break until Early October when
balletvamp and I will be going to
SALUTE TO SUPERNATURAL 2011 TORONTO. You have no goddamn idea how excited I am to go to a Supernatural con. Holy shit. Not only is Jared Padalecki going to be there. Not only is Jensen Ackles going to be there. NO NO. Misha Collins is going to be there soon. The Holy Trinity, Team Free Will, all in that city an hour down the 401 from me.
Fuck yeah. I am going.
BUT I COULD GO ON FOR A WHILE ABOUT SALUTE TO SUPERNATURAL, SO, UH, LET'S MOVE ON TO MY COSPLAY PLANS FOR AN, OTA AND FANEX, JA?
JA.
Anime North 2011 (May 27-29, Toronto, ON, Canada)-Sebastian Michaelis (Kuroshitsuji)
-Fai D. Flowright (Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle)
-Netherlands (Axis Powers Hetalia) - TENTATIVE
Now, the beauty of this con is the following - my darling
balletvamp is coming up from Boston to go to this con
That is awesome sauce news, no? So we will be cosplaying Sebastian and Grell together, as well as, maybe, with
mr-romantic as everyone's favourite destructive chef, Bard. We will also be cosplaying Fai and Chii together, which, aahhh is gonna be amazing. My all time favourite anime character and (I think) her close to all time favourite anime character 8)
While we haven't decided yet if we will do a day of their normal outfits, we are probably doing a day of Nihon Country!Style cosplay with Tar as Kuro-riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin 8). Tar is most likely going to spend part of the day with her left arm tucked against her body to simulate Kurogane's missing arm, and then we'll slap a costume piece of some sort on it for the mechanical arm! Kitty will do Chii in a gooooooorgeous pink kimono (Yes Kitty, I am gonna share with the class - THIS KIMONO:
a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… - isn't she gonna be prettyyyyy? *u* )
The only issue, is, uh, me finding Fai's Shunraiki OVA kimono, or like... Yes. Because I am hopeless at sewing. Hopeless. I am hoping I can find one... Like this:
images-anime.mikomi.org/images… SO IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS... 8) ... 8)))
Otakon 2011 (July 29-31, Baltimore, MD, USA)-Mafia!Netherlands (Axis Powers Hetalia)
-Spirit Albarn/Death Scythe (Soul Eater)
-Sebastian Michaelis (Kuroshitsuji) [Maybe? I think Hiro had said something about cosplaying Ciel I DON'T KNOW LMAO]
This will be another long ass drive down to Baltimore, but this time I will have
XNeverConformX and
ClementineErased (as well as MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE
mr-romantic ) in the car down with me, which means, hey, I won't have to pay out the ass, AND, this time, I will make sure to not, you know, catch a speeding ticket. I WILL BE A GOOD CHRIS AND GO THE AMERICAN FLAVOURED SPEED LIMIT.
The other thing is aaaahhhhh this is when I will get to debut my Spirit cosplay and I will be doing it with my zus,
Alistaere who will be cosplaying Azusa with me for a bit maybe I think yes 8)
And yes! I have a mafiatalia group for this con 8) It, so far, consists of
Alistaere,
aisucafe,
kajpuffprince,
ClementineErased and
XNeverConformX as well as myself, as Belgium, Japan, Prussia, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Netherlands - most likely there are a shit load more than I just named, involved XD
Fan Expo 2011 (August 25-28, Toronto, ON, Canada) [Pardon me FAN EXPO IS 4 DAYS LONG THIS YEAR OH MY GOD THIS MEANS... I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS, BUT IT MEANS A LOT FO MY COSPLAY PLANS?]
-Horitsuba Gakuen!Fai D. Flowright (Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle/Horitsuba Gakuen)
-Sebastian Michaelis (Kuroshitsuji)
-Spirit Albarn? Final Arc!Fai? Question mark question mark?
See, now that I see that Fan Ex is
four days long this year, I am suddenly thinking a lot more about what I would like to cosplay. If I can, I may end up bringing Spirit to that one too, and, ffff, if I can get it together in time... final arc!Fai? That would be fun 8) Fake nails and ripped gloves and eyepatch and whoooooooo /o/
But! I am probs deffo doing Horitsuba!Fai against
mr-romantic's Godzilla!Kurogane *u*
Though... if she doesn't get that done maybe she could do gym teacher!Kuro~? *u*
*U*
/*U*/
Er...
ALSO
XNeverConformX will be doing Ciel Phantomhive for my Sebastian at this con *A* And I am going to straight up die of happy *A* Because, I have noticed, after piggybacking
Alistaere,
axkingforit,
aisucafe and
Detailed-Illusion that... Either I am strong, or the people I choose to carry around are /really light/.
8)
I may also choose to complete my 'secret' cosplay for this con, as, hey, Fan Ex doesn't have a weapons check so I wouldn't have to worry about my prop making me have to stand in line for x amount of time for a zip tie of a-ok-ness.
