Hey look, I'm using this thing. This is because I have pictures from Otakon, along with this very special conversation as a friend of mine (P) and I were describing bits of Metal Gear to another friend:
Me: ...and there's a guy whose superpower is being covered in bees.
P: Yeah, and he's ridiculously British.
Me: Nno.
P: Yeah, Otacon.
Me: ...what?
Anyway, have some MGS cosplay!

Apparently the default pose when handing cosplayers a small stuffed Mantis is to shoot him in the head.

P.S. Fuck you, LJ Scrapbook.
