Cosplay Photospam; Kuroshitsuji-edition
I'm so ridiculously back-logged in posting photos that it is not even funny. I mean, I still haven't even posted YaoiCon stuff and that was almost a year ago! *shakes head*. There's been a lot going on with losing my server space and my computer resigning from connecting to the internet and so on. However, in an attempt to work my way out of the
( Read more... )
In other news, um, are we still friends? I know I'm a crappy internet friend in general, and wasn't even sure if we had THAT many shared interests any more. But you like yaoi, and Kuroshitsuji, and I do read pretty much all of your posts. I'm sure a lot of MY posts you aren't at all interested in, but we could at least talk fandom. I'm sure we like a lot of the same OTHER anime, but am not gong to make a list of things I think you like or anything. ^^;; So yeah, still here, still reading, but will buzz off if requested.

Sure, cosplay tips can be highly useful feedback. When it comes to criticism, however, I'm pretty sure I actually *know* everything that is wrong and it is irking me already even without people bringing it up. XD;;
I didn't personally think the memorial stone was too big of blasphemy, but I figured it might offend some people's sensitivities. Graveyards do have a bit of religious connection, afterall.
Aaw, definitely no need to buzz off! I've been quite preoccupied myself too, so I haven't been communicating online as much as I used to. x_X;; Also, in all honesty, I was somewhat unsure of where you stood in terms of what happened between me and Lavie. Some people were taking sides and I do know that there have been less than favourable evaluations of me as a person in her journal. So I wasn't really sure how you felt&thought of the whole thing.

I'm kind of with you on the criticism count? I'm still working on the whole ME cosplaying thing, because for some reason I'm not wholly comfortable just BUYING a costume off the internet from someone. If someone I know volunteers to make one for me, that's fine with me, but just... I'm weird. And I fail a little at the whole sewing and putting it together myself thing. So we're working on that. T.T
Gotcha on the memorial stone count. A lot of my Kuro friends want to do photoshoots in graveyards, so pretty much everyone /I/ know wouldn't mind.
And yay, Wind doesn't want me to get lost. xD And augh, the whole thing with Lavie. To be completely honest, I /was/ kind of "on her side." I view your creative endeavors and read your journal, but you always seemed to be more Lavie's friend than mine. So when you guys had your big falling out... I just pretty much stayed out of it, and didn't really say anything to you because I wasn't sure if YOU would even want to still be friends. I'm still on pretty good terms with Lavie, but... I'm sure I've been friends before with people who didn't like each other, so this just doesn't look like a problem to me any more. It kind of sounds like some of the stuff with that still sucks, but I rarely hear about it from either of you now, so from my point of view it seems to have blown over. I'm sure there are still a lot of her friends who think you are a despicable person, but that isn't really my opinion. So really, if you're willing to be friends with me and fangirl about things we both like and such (and I never see you on aim anymore -- do you still have the same sn? I'm silverxvenom, have been for a while), I'd like to be friends with you, and won't say a thing about Lavie, because really, that's probably for the best.
So yeah, I think it would be rather nice to be friends again. :3 I'm glad I got such a positive comment from you. This isn't meant as an insult, but I was a little worried it would be cold or something. ^^;; And I'd totally look forward to more pictures!
ONE MORE THING: Just curious. Are you manga-only, or did you watch the anime? Several of my Kuro friends just did NOT like the anime. But I enjoyed it a lot, so... ^^;;

... Aa-ah, I'm a bit unsure on how to feel about that. I do sincerely appreciate you being honest in your answer, while at the same time I do still feel I kind of got the short end of the stick in that whole ordeal. You are correct that I was more her friend than your friend; I was more her friend than anyone else's friend, since she was my *best* friend and the most important person to me. *small sad smile*
Yeah, I still have the same AIM name, but I'm not really on much. I mean, I was mostly on AIM for the days that were chatting days with Lavie and without that initiative... well, I'm just not really getting on AIM that much. Plus I was/am pretty busy with other stuff; keeping myself too busy to think was my coping mechanism through the worst of the pain.
Eh, I'm not really cold to people unless they've done something to insult/hurt me. At least I don't think I am. I guess I may come off as less than warm and heartfelt because I am quite serious a lot of times and because I am highly introverted...? I'm introverted by Finnish standards and most of the people who are extroverted by Finnish standards are still pretty held back by the American social standards. Cultural differences~
With Kuroshitsuji, I'm actually one of the people who first watched the anime and only then read the manga. I don't read much manga online, since I prefer being able to hold the book in my hands rather than scroll the pages on the computer screen. Maybe because I wasn't a big fan of the manga before seeing the anime, I really enjoyed the anime. It's different, yes, but I don't think the difference is necessarily *bad*.

Awww. I'm glad you at least appreciate the honesty. ^^;; I figure if we ARE going to be friends and stuff, it would be really bad form to start off by lying to you! I really am pretty honest (sometimes ridiculously so), so yeah. I'm sorry about the short end of the stick ordeal. D: I admit I have never had a falling out THAT bad, but I did have a kind of bad one like... Three years ago. And it still bothers me. I still sometimes want to send her an email, and see if maybe SOMEHOW we could be friends again. But yeah. x.x
Oh, I totally understand being busy. I'm actually almost constantly logged into aim, but most of the time I'm not actually THERE or paying attention to it. However, if you ever do log on, I will probably be away. Ignore that. Even if I don't respond, I think it would be kind of cool to just see a "hello" message and know you were there. So I mostly understand. ^^;;
And I don't actually think you're COLD. Definitely less warm and open than some of my friends, but most of THOSE are American and, you know, those cultural differences. So no worries! You can be as serious as you like, I'm just... Pretty silly online, so hopefully I won't irritate the crap out of you. ^^;;
Oh wow! I'm actually kind of happy to hear that, about Kuro. I THINK I read just a little of the manga, or was told to, before the anime. But the anime really was the first for me. And I really enjoyed it too! (Obviously) I really don't think the difference is bad, and quite possibly like the anime better. I did rather love the circus arc in the manga, which you probably know isn't in the anime, but, eh... I just worry about manga-only people because if we do do our Kuro cosplay, I still want to be Pluto. I think he's cute in the anime (and actually kind of useful in one arc!) and I have a really fun time pretending to be him. I dunno if anyone else cosplays him though. xD And just... It would be so sad to go to the Kuro meetup at a con and have lots of people not even know who you are. ;o; Also, you heard they were coming out with a second season for the anime, right? I have NO IDEA what they're going to do with that. I haven't really looked into it or anything though. Any ideas?
Anyway, I kind of want to ask you annoying Kuro related questions, and figured I'd offer to take it to email, if you like. LJ comments work just as well for me, but I figured maybe you don't want all my babble in your LJ. ^^;;
