Amnesia costumes

╔════ ════
☼ ♥ AMNESIA ♥ ☼
╚════ ════╝


Two versions of character costume for Amnesia. I love both, but I'll leave the selection to whoever wants one more than the other. Personally I wanna do both versions, but okane ga nai. One catch - if we do waiter version, which is nice, cooler (figuratively speaking) and more uniform, I want a Waka. He's the cafe boss after all =3

=====

I am hopelessly tsun, hopelessly violent, and hopelessly easy to rile up (just playing along haha =3)

Amnesia updates

http://t-and-b-anon.livejournal.com/524.html?thread=421644#t421644

This Tiger & Bunny fic is really nice. I like how Kotetsu is like a father to Barnaby. Hell, it's really darn cute =3

And somehow I'd rather read about Barnaby topping Kotetsu than the other way round. I can totally see the bond between them, really. And the next episode will make fangirls go Tiger/Bunny or Bunny/Tiger than anything else.

I'm fine with yaoi. I don't have to support the pairings, but I'm fine with it. However, I can't stomach yuri that well.

Give me crack anytime. I worship crack and absolute hilarity.

=====

An introvert will always remain an introvert, no matter how much s/he has changed. Or rather, some habits will always remain.

=====

I find it ironic that I'm cosing FFF on day 1, who punishes those with attention from girls, when day 2 I'm cosing Ikki, who is popular among the girls. I somehow wish I didn't pick Ikki (hello, I'm not like that), but we could always do omake shots where we switch wigs and all =3

Their voices are so nice~

I love the blog, even though I can't read all the kanji, haha

Cosfest X.1 2011

Finally it's all over. I think I failed as Prussia, and only did slightly better as Norway. But it's an event. I'll do my best for photoshoots, but no more Prussia. Really. I fail, not very badly, but I couldn't get the expression I want.

Sleepy....I shall contact my company tomorrow or Wednesday. Wednesday is good, since I have a briefing in school too. And my voice is still not recovered yet - was coughing damn badly (thank goodness I've no phlegm, but still.........) I don't want to give a bad impression, especially on my voice.

I'll be mentally prepared then (Wednesday's my day =3). Okay, time to start getting REALLY involved in Ao no Exorcist.

=====

Yes, YUKIMURA. Thank god it's not Ryoma who's selected. Yukimura's the only one I want to see in action.

KUROTABOU IS SO COOL.

Thursday, June 23, 2011

The vile taste in my mouth makes me retch. I want to clear my phlegm, because it's irritating.

Looking at Armen Noir pictures now. I like Sword, while Kei prefers Knives. =3 Comparing WoF II and Armen Noir, we both agree Armen Noir looks cooler.

http://www.zerochan.net/244071

Left to right: Zechs, Elle, Sword, Crimson, Rain, Knives

Looking at the characters, I don't know who I can pull off. Either Crimson or Knives.

http://breadmasterlee.wordpress.com/2011/01/16/otome-game-review-armen-noir/

Well, this otome game involves killing off one of the guys whichever route you choose, I mean, hell. Knives dies in all the routes, meh. I see, if you want happy endings, this ain't the game. It's somewhat similar yet different from Hakuouki - not much romance, the characters die in some route or another, but at least Noir has more balls since she is a bounty hunter.

Well, concentrate on Amnesia first. I don't know if I should custom-make the boots or use pvc, but yeah, though it's for next year, it's one cosplay I want to enjoy and have fun. Besides Ao no Exorcist, of course =3 I also want to have fun with Durarara, haha, and though I fear for the photoshoot, I believe Are You Alice is going to be fun...if you excuse my tsun character.

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

At least my saber is done. Thank you Xiggie. If not, I'll probably pull an all-nighter trying to paper mache the damn sword and think of how to connect the hilt.

Now I'm left with the wigs. One to cut, another to make the ahoge. I'm having second thoughts about going to Amorn's house for prop-making because I don't have much to make now, just adding details here and there I think...like my ahoge......

...and packing my stuff for the chalet.

I believe I should start planning for Renzou's stuff as well...

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

Joining the Slavics as hacker Estonia. And since it's mafia, all I need is a blonde wig and glasses. I already have the stuff from Hibari, and it's non-canon so I can pretty much wear whatever I want.

I'll get in character when the time comes, but for now, I need to finish sewing my boot covers and quickly get started on my sword...I only have less than 2 days for the stupid sword AND sheath. I think it might be the same as last year - rushing last minute props one day before Cosfest. Yeah, well, I hope to rush my wigs and the painting, though I pray Xiggie can finish making them in time too...

Back to work.
I need to reread Pandora Hearts when I've the time during IA.

Holy fark, Walker and Erika are freaking scary. Way scarier than other psychos I know of. And I realise, Walker is actually the kind of sane, twisted character I've always wanted to do someday. Someone you can't really call an antagonist, and neither can you say he's good either. Such is the grey world of mangaverse.

There's no one I want to do in Durarara except Walker. When I first watched the anime, and I saw him and Erika appear, I realised at that moment that if I were to cosplay a character from this anime, he's the one.

I suppose I could get down to reading Durarara light novels too, haha. During my IA period, as in, not during IA hours, but the period of time where I'll have no exams.

G-Fantasy manga. Which are G-Fantasy manga, pray tell? Erika-chan and I are looking at them. I only know Shirokuro Kitan, Zombie-Loan, Kuroshitsuji, Pandora Hearts, Shakugan no Shana, Durarara, Umineko...


http://www.square-enix.co.jp/magazine/gfantasy/new/

They have BL, naturally. But that's for Erika-chan to mess with~

Monday, June 20, 2011

Fell sick on Thursday. I'm feeling better now, but I must finish my boot covers by Monday. I'll be collecting my costume on Tuesday, I need to cut my Prussia wig (no, Gin-chan~ He lives within me, so he won't go away even if I'm not in costume =D) and make the ahoge. Then I nearly forgot about Cheshire's blazer...

As usual, piano lesson next Thursday because I can't make it on Saturday. (next year I can. I'm part of the Baka to Test team as a minor character that can come and go as I please so that I won't have to keep giving up my Saturdays. But I think we can rope in VAS people to do that.)

How to find Nano's stuff, you tell me? I think I may pop by Tampines on Tuesday before going to the tailor's to check out the stores. It'll be better if I can borrow from people, but I'm too skinny. OTL
While looking at Facebook pictures, I started reminiscing the past as I sew my boot covers. It's ironic, that the only connection to my past is Facebook. I haven't kept in contact with my primary school friends, secondary school friends, JC friends, except through Facebook. Some hate Facebook, but I think, rather than thinking it's a substitute for real friendship, it's more like a platform where old friends can reconnect.

I wonder, would I still be in contact with my university friends after I graduate? Perhaps, perhaps not. Maybe we could meet up for dinner and chat about old times and update each other with fresh news. Maybe we could prepare for another team. Maybe we can go on trips together, say, travel around Europe, or visit Japan every year.

I deeply apologise for not attending any 21st birthday parties, partly due to my heavy workload during the semester, and partly due to the fact that I probably won't have anything to say to old friends and classmates. I wasn't close to many, and I prefer to remain alone as such. A loner from the past. Now I am part of a closely knit group that can amount to more than 20 people, each with their own preferences, identities and prejudices, but once we put them aside, we know how to have fun.

I wish that someday, when I bump into a close friend from those pre-university days, we'll have more words to say than just "Hey, long time no see! How're you doing?", more than "You've become prettier". Damn, I still hate people commenting about my looks. Yes, I'm being extremely tsun about it, but what do you expect? =.=

APH MMD

【APヘタリア】みんなでふっそっそ!【親分合作】


I'm not a fan of Spain, but oh my gawd, this video is well-made (vocaloid song? lol. Wasn't that Kaito's voice? haha)

[APH] Alice Human Sacrifice [Nordics]


I snorted. Really. The older sibling should be Norway, the younger Iceland. And who's the next Alice? Arisu, from Are You Alice? XDD

【MMD Hetalia Nordic】 Song of Nitori


OMG SO CUTE~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't ask. Really. I'm just watching APH ヘタリア MMD on youtube. Found a Breeze, Bad Apple,Happy Synthesizer, Russ-K commercial dance...even Zigg Zagg, a dance I plan to learn someday.



I recognise this! It's by butsudankamen!

【仏壇仮面】一人ずつ踊ってみた【ただのん】


There's the Japan and UK version. Really. And Turkey.

You know what, I think I'm just tempted to learn those nico dances. Hey, there's also Matryoshka dance, as in, original motion by bouto, in Hetalia MMD.

...

Tsugai Kogarashi. NOW.

Togainu no Chi - Nano

I just got dragged into another cosplay team, this time Togainu no Chi. As Nano. Okay, according to Grace, he's super seme, he's a one-man army, he is indifferent, he looks like this, and I've no idea how to find his stuff by July. For photoshoot.

I think I look forward to Are You Alice? more than this, because it'll be my first time doing a long-haired character. I don't know how I'll look like in long hair, that's why I want to see if it's motivation for me to do long-haired characters in the future =3

Mukuro, Itachi bday

9/6

Happy birthday Mukuro, though I really hate your guts. Daemon however, can someone just obliterate him to ashes? He's irritating.

Hibari: ...I'll bite him to death for sending me into another dimension.

Happy birthday Itachi, even though you're like dead...

=====

Stajun so bishie! GAH MIKI SHIN~

Hakuouki Reimeiroku

I slept early last night because I had a migraine. And woke up to good news about my results - I managed to salvage my cGPA and pull it up to a 3. For that, I'm grateful that the hellish semester was over and the results paid off. My GPA was better than Y1S1 too, haha. Now, time for me to keep it up and get the cGPA up. 8DD

A for Astronomy!!! 8DDDD After that irritating C for the test, I'm glad my hard work paid off. *happy dance*

Something to share:

【PSP】 薄桜鬼 黎明録 ポータブル オープニングムービー


My favourite song is still Mai Kaze. From the games, I like Hanabira no Toki, though this song is pretty nice too.

Will be collecting my costume later. Now that's something to look forward to. =3

more confessions part III

‎#18 I can't talk to people while looking into their eyes. Too unnerving for me

For Cheryl, who received our birthday card =))

=====

I'm left with boot covers, my saber, my silver cross hair pin, medals and anchor design. Two weeks left to Cosfest, I must start making my props once I get my costumes tomorrow. Today, I'm sourcing for tutorials (even though I'd rather analyse and experiment myself)

=====

Omg, I recognise two very noticeable seiyuu in Tiger&Bunny!!!! Shit, Yusa-san's voice is so sexy I'm shuddering at how callous he sounds as the villain...it reminds me of shitsuji!Yusa who has this perfectly playful and sexy voice. I love his voice, oh my...XD

And Tsuda-san. He voices Fire Emblem, that flamboyant gay hero. I nearly fell off my chair...nah, kidding. My jaw dropped, that's all.

more confessions part II

When will this stop....=_______=

#13 Annoying me is fine as long as it doesn't get out of hand. Angering me, however, has two side-effects depending on the situation

Thanks, bro, thanks. You just clicked.

#14 I nearly turned someone into a eunuch for trying to bully me

Fact. Nothing to be proud of. And with my bare hands. What can you say? I was only 15, and way more bad-tempered and colder than now.

#15 The first time I got slapped on the face was by a guy. Looking at all the previous confessions, guess what happened next.

Yeah. Mine bordered on being a violent person. Controlled violence only when you irritate me.

#16 People say I walk too fast. I disagree. It just means you're blocking my way.

I'm not going to write anymore confessions if it hits 20. I've nothing to write

‎#17 Contrary to #2, I have hugged a guy before. But glomping....

Tatsuya. Hiroki.

Tuesday, June 07, 2011

more confessions

#11 I like reverse harem otome games because of the bishounen, but IRL it's a freaking pain in the arse to have your own harem.

#12 I hate fickle-minded people. Can't decide? Let me do that for you, and why the heck are you objecting to the decision I "helped" you make??!! $%;@# *growls*

Stay that way. Stay at 12. Once again, I'm not getting a harem. Curses, Hatter. I don't want to interpret your words too - it's giving me a headache.

=====

Seiyuu ka~ translations! ^^ I enjoy this manga because it's too unique. Ganbatte Hime-chan! =D

http://minami-maki-fan.livejournal.com/
June 5: Happy birthday, Denmark

June 6: Happy birthday, Sweden!

DenSu forever.
I'm NOT cosing the lolita in Ibitsu, even if I'm as skinny as her. I'm not as psychotic either.

====

Confessions? What's with the weird status updates? Not that I've any to write, but well, I do have some.

#1 I've always been a violent tomboy since young. Still am till now, maybe even more so =_=

#2 I used to detest people touching me. Now, I'm a lot more tolerant. But still, I need my personal space thanks *flails*

#3 I'm cold-blooded. Interpret this any way you want

#4 I cannot sit at the piano for more than 1 hour straight when I practise. I'll start to fidget and lose my touch.

#5 That said, I don't even practise everyday. The only time I really put in effort was for my diploma exam.

‎#6 I got a distinction. Nothing to be proud of though - there are better pianists out there who can at least play a decent song, while I rely on sheet music (so that I can constantly work on my sight-reading skills)

‎#7 My primary school put me in taf club for one session in P1. That was when I was declared underweight....even though my appetite was as normal as a healthy growing kid.

#8 I belong to the category of 'Mistaken Gender'. I'm not the only one, thank goodness.

‎#9 I'm running out of things to confess. Why is the list getting longer? =.=

#10 I haven't watched any tv programmes for a decade or so because I think it's a waste of time

Anymore and I'll have nothing to say. Why would I want to write so much? And no, I'm NOT building a harem, Amorn and Feimao. Much as it's appealing, it's a real pain to have many guys liking you and you being restricted to choosing only one.

I'm being very elusive, aren't I? I don't like yaoi, but I seem to be fueling CheshireXHatter by wordplay. Well, dislike =/= can't tolerate. I don't like, doesn't mean I can't play with my words and please others :3

Sunday, June 05, 2011

Prop-making for the past two days at Amorn's attic was fun - hey, I got some props done. I was tempted to start on the saber, but I've no idea how I would go about making it, ack. The boot covers too...

If I have time, I'll make Coaltars. One for each person on the team. I need to make my k'kri after the Hetalia props. No idea when we'll be doing Tsugai Kogarashi too....maybe AFA?

Bunny and Cat were cute. *paws*

GO REST, Amorn =______=

=====

So, Natsumatsuri is on August 20. Wow. Natsumatsuri on the eve (Bon Odori!!!!! The most fun part of Natsumatsuri haha), next day Ao no Exorcist... XDD

=====

There's this manga that Feimao shared. Ibitsu, a psycho horror manga. The girl is yan. Not even dere. But I think yanderes are scarier than yan. At least yan is just psycho. But expressing your love through psychotic means, I feel it's more disturbing than just being yan. I don't know, I haven't time to read it yet (I need to listen to my CD or my piano teacher will behead me for not bringing out that touch that the song needs).

I'm not yan. I'm tsun and cold. Not sure about kudere because I've no boyfriend to show affection to. Having 2D guys is different from liking one in real life you know. And if anything happens like two friends of mine whose names I'll not disclose, I'll just tell the guy to suck it up. Bastard, do you want a good whack on the head just to make you release that insecurity in your heart? *rolls eyes* I don't know anything about relationships save for the manga, but what I do know is, you've got a long way to go if you think we are pushovers. VAS girls aren't wimps. We know what we want.

薄桜鬼~桜の宴~

薄桜鬼~桜の宴~生アフレコ~ほろ酔いモード


SEIYUU VOICE OVERS ARE FANTASTIC. YUSA-SAN, WHY SO AWESOME???!!

I want the videos. Like when someone makes it available for download. The love declarations, or whatever you call them, were so eargasmic I died and revived about 10 times or so....or rather, that might have happened were I not a shinigami.

In other words, I am a Hakuouki fangirl, but getting me to love a character kareshi love declaration takes effort. I wasn't very affected by the Kuroshitsuji ones, even though I was plainly amused. But yeah, I love Hakuouki. The last fandom I went crazy over was Tenipuri, and true to myself, I never caught on with the BL. Till now I don't get why there are fujoushi. I tried to understand - doujins, fanfics, kink memes (I steer clear from manga though, don't ask why) from mild to R - I don't get it. I still prefer M/F to M/M, and forget about threading the F/F waters.

Well, one pair I have no objections to is DenSu...... XDD

=====

Oh yeah, Amnesia introduced two new characters: Rika and Waka. I wonder if we can have a full team for Amnesia? The OP is so pretty, and the music just fits. If only I know how they did the animation....then I can come up with my own videos, haha.

I am excited by Amnesia. It's my second time taking the initiative to form a cosplay team (the first being Ao no Exorcist. Wand of Fortune II will be counted once I get a team) and I happily keep in the shadows =)

Thursday, June 02, 2011

Oh my god, Lizzy (Kuroshitsuji) is awesome! Can't believe she's always tossed aside as some annoying brat who likes cute things. I knew she'll turn out useful somehow, otherwise she would have died long time ago.

AND DOUBLE SWORDS OHOHO~

=====

Was trying out Cheshire's wig.

Conclusion: I look weird in long hair. Or maybe I'm just not used to it.

=====

Because I need some humour fics, and I can't stand Sasuke.

Letters to Sasuke

=====

Dear Hatter, because of your words today, I'm going to screw you up down left right center during the photoshoot. Nevermind if I'm not in character, but really, you are so dead once I'm done with you.

Dear readers, interpret the above sentences anyway you want. I give up =_________=

=====

From random plot point here:

Perhaps this scene would be more interesting if it happened at a mad, bad-ass party. Who is flirting? Who is wasted? Who is so xenophobic they are hiding in the closet? Whose stuff gets stolen? Who is the keymaster (I HAVE HIDDEN YOUR KEYS! YOU MUST CHILL!)?

fandom: Hakuouki SSL
rating: crack

My first rp (role-play) with Kei and Sakia. I'm rp-ing Souji because I want to try his character for real. I could do Souji, Saitou, Hijikata and Sano, maybe even Sannan, but let me get my playful side out first.
Souji: playful
Saitou: man of few words
Hijikata: demon (definitely can)
Sano: easy-going
Sannan: sadistic

Now all I need is a cold, indifferent guy....

I enjoy crack.
