NOM NOM NOM
I am 24, and here I am eating an entire fucking cake to prove it.
Official Caption: NOM NOM NOM.
For one of my holiday-ish presents, my mother gave me this baby seal stuffed plushie. It is so fucking cute, I seriously cannot stand it. Like. It is so soft and adorable, I think I am going to hug all of the soft off. I haff named it Rassi, short for The Seal of Rassilon, and it is motherfucking cute as you can see here. I also made it a baby pram out of my peep basket for it to sit in.
My Gurren Lagann watching is over and done, and I for one feel like a better person for watching it. The final ending features the cast of main characters dressed in an array of ridiculous 70s sci-fi esque outfits with the protagonist wearing what appears to be a metal waist cincher and a neck girdle - shirtless in sunglasses that are so ridiculous and amazing I cannot describe them here - as they scream ridiculous monologues and badass things at their enemies before literally doing battle on top of the fucking cosmos. In the words of Sarah, once you have seen Gurren Lagann, you might as well JUST STOP WATCHING ANIME RIGHT NOW because there is nothing else out there for you. It is over. The end.
And so I want to cosplay this. Not because I actually want to wear the costumes - because if they look this absurd on goddamn anime characters I cannot fathom what they would look like on human beings - but because I want a group of 10+ people to walk through the con hallways, wearing these ludicrous fucking G-Force Got Knocked Up By Final Fantasy outfits. With the express purpose of stopping every ten minutes to strike a pose and scream in unison "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!" We will have a set stock of half a dozen lines at hand to use when needed. Every time someone stops to take a picture, or asks “Who are you dressed as?” we will stop and shout the answer for everyone within a 100 yard radius to hear.
“What’re your costumes from?”
“WE ARE THE DAI-GURREN BRIGADE!!! WITH THIS DRILL, WE WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!!!!”
“Oh, that’s cool.”
The odds of ACTUALLY getting a group to go through with this is slim to none, but entertaining nonetheless. On a note of actual cosplay, Maggie’s asked me what groups we are doing for Otakon, which begs the question of “What groups are we doing for Otakon?” I’ve mentioned Doctor Who here before, and that is still going strong. So far, Dan is Four with Scone as Romana II plus K9, and I think everything else is up for grabs. While I think most people might go oldschool because the costumes are more recognizable, anyone is welcome to join in. ^^ Also, I and several people would be pro wearing Avatar again for an off-day, as the costumes are badass and full of win. Any opinions/suggestions that people have?
