Like so many others on the internet, I've finally gotten myself into Homestuck. I say "gotten myself into", as I feel that Homestuck isn't something you can casually enjoy, but must allow oneself to become completely immersed in as to fully understand all that it is and what's going on.

I'm on the beginning of Act 5, having skipped nothing, and I feel like I've got a pretty good grasp of what's going on (now, anyway). HannahSheep says this will change eventually.

Yay?

:D

As far as cons go, I'm planning to attend NebrasKon in November, which I'm pretty excited about. I've never been but I hear good things about it, so that's promising. I'll probably be bringing my Matryoshka Gumi and I'm planning to make this version of Rose Lalonde.

I got my Kobato wig in the mail before Anime Iowa, but I've had no time to work on her cosplay, let alone the money. She's on hold at the moment unitl I can pull together enough monies to make the version of her that's my favorite.

I got a new job which I start tomorrow (YAY!!!), which comes with pay a increase, so perhaps after the rest of my wedding details get ironed out I can get back to cosplay. I'd still like to go to ACen next year, but I'll just have see if that works out. So far it's iffy...

Summer

It's hot! Already. Boo.

While trying to make plans as to who to cosplay, when, and what version, I believe I've landed on the two I feel most confident in being able to complete prior to Anime Iowa; previous years have taught me that me+humidity+wig = melting, so I'm trying my best to avoid that this year. ;3

Though I may regret it, I'm going to finish up my Matryoshka Gumi (ugh, long sleeves. This will probably mostly be worn inside and in the morning/night when it's cooler!), as the lovely debulawashere is going to be Matyoshka Kaito. I'm also going to attempt this version of Kobato, provided I get my wig this time. :shakefist:

Afterwards, I will probably be taking a break from cosplay for awhile. I'm getting married in January next year, so I've go lots to plan before then! 8D After that I'm planning on trying to go back to school (possibly for graphic design; the toss up is between that and pharmacy school. Yes I know they're on very different ends of the spectrum~) and who knows where I'll be once we've gotten settled? I will still try to attend cons, because I'd miss you guys too much if I didn't. :heart:

Con plans! :D

2 min read
I'll be attending a few new cons this year, which I'm pretty excited about! I'll be at Anime Milwaukee in a few weeks visiting MynaPyrrhuloxia. I'm also working out a vacation weekend with my boyfriend that will include visiting ACen on Saturday, but we'll have to see if that pans out or not. (Not exactly a "new" con, but I haven't been in about three years so I feel like it's new! I heard it's expanded quite a bit in the last few years.)

I'll be at Anime Iowa, of course, as well, and I'm thinking of trying out a new con for fall/winter time. Any suggestions?

No Detour this year. :( It will be the first time I've missed one in nine years, but I feel it's time. The past few years haven't been as fun as previous years have been, and I think taking a year break will make the next year more entertaining. XD (Or something...)

Anyway! Just two or three new cosplays planned; I've almost got Matryoshka Gumi completed, and I'm planning Kobato for Anime Iowa. If I've got time/money, I'll be making Cooking Mama as well.

Hope to see everyone soon~ :heart: :heart: :heart:

I forgot about this so absolutely; when I signed on I had over 10,000+ deviants to look at and I just deleted it all 'cause obviously I wasn't too worried about it in the first place...

Sorry if I missed something spectacular of yours in the process, I was just lazy and couldn't bring myself to go through all that.

Anyway; my ACen plans have been canceled, as my friend is getting married that weekend. I'm told that this is a lame reason to miss a con, but I think it's probably for the best. XD

I feel very unmotivated to cosplay after what an epic let down Detour was, as well, but HannahSheep and KaseySanada have been very encouraging so I'll give Hetalia cosplay another go. :) Especially since I haven't had the pleasure of attending a con as Hungary yet~ (And sweet God that would be such a waste since the wig is just BEAUTIFUL!)

I managed to complete Alfred's Halloween version in time for Detour, though, and HannahSheep made me a truly badass chainsaw to go with it, so hopefully I'll have some pictures of that up soon! :D

I'm planning to attend Anime Iowa at the end of July, and my cosplays planned thus far are Nomad Hungary and Sora from Kingdom Hearts II. :thumbsup:

I've had to cancel my plans to attend Bishie Con this year, as money turned out to be a bit tighter than I'd imagined it would be. :( It's sad, but I feel fairly mature/pleased about it, because now I'll be able to buy Christmas presents. ^_^

Also, due to a dwindling interest in Hetalia cosplay (and also lack of funds) I won't be going to Anime Detour as Pirate England. This is mostly due to the fact that I'd like to practice more on other projects before I tackle something as complicated as I feel Pirate England would be, and also because I'd like to do it justice and because I want to make it just...really epic, ya know? X3;

At least, that's how I feel about it. My fellow pirates France and Spain felt the same way, so it was an easy decision. (Although I watched Pirates 1 to 3 yesterday and felt sudden and intense disappointment. You've no idea how much a wanted a flint-lock pistol to carry with me...)

I WILL be going to Detour as Hitomi (movie version) from Escaflowne and Kushina from Naruto. I've rediscovered my Naruto cosplay roots (I've been itching to take ANBU Sakura out in the snow and get some good pictures of her, as I really don't have many...) and before I put my love for that series completely on the shelf and move on to other things I'd like to cosplay Kushina, as I'd wanted to be her since she was first mentioned. :) I'll probably do genin/chuunin(?) Kushina, since I think that costume's incredibly cute. X3 I went looking for obnoxiously long red wigs, too, and found a nice one that was pretty cheap! 8D

The plan was to be Kushina with my own red hair, which was about that length, but I chopped it all off a few months ago and now it's really too short to be anyone. XD It was really refreshing, though, to have it all cut off. I can't explain it but...I'd been feeling anxious and unhappy for weeks before hand, and then I cut off all my hair and I instantly felt better...

BUT! I'll also be bringing Omi and Alfred with me to Detour (I found a bomber jacket on Ebay for Alfred...I just need to the patches!), as I've promised I'd cosplay both for some friends. X3;;

I also may be going to SacAnime, and hopefully I'll have Finland done by then to take him with me. X3 If not, then I'll be bringing just Alfred~
