Manifest Cosplay Part 2: The Con

Nov 01, 2008 23:43

Moving on from the Amaranth ball, the main event of our Melbourne trip was the con itself. If I had to sum up the whole Manifest experience in brief, it would be with this picture:

Millia needs more love. =(

rallamajoop November 1 2008, 15:52:11 UTC

It's how it goes, I guess - GG's such a little known series, and yet Bridget's practically developed a whole Internet meme all to himself. There was at least one other Bridget cosplayer running around Manifest in addition to yiji-chan that day, and more Bridgets than any other character at the TGS. Even Sol and Ky can't really compete. ^^; I only wish people could at least recognise when you're not cosplaying him, if they know him that well.

sethyhide November 2 2008, 00:02:00 UTC

Well, contrary to what most people think, May and Bridget are the most cosplayed in Japan. Not Sol and Ky.

*waves a lonely flag for Millia*

rallamajoop November 2 2008, 02:00:38 UTC

Uh, no, I just meant you'd expect them to be the most recognisable, since they're the main characters. (A casual survey of the TGS this year found Bridgets and Dizzys everywhere, a few Sols and Kys, a scattering of other characters and not a May in sight.)

I love your Japan/Manifest reports! ^_^ And your Milia ball dress was really beautiful. (: *has something I need to pass to you*

(I was in Lamento group! As Firi! Then I uh, disappeared when everyone went to take pictures. >_< Argh.)

rallamajoop November 1 2008, 15:47:53 UTC

Thanks, on both accounts! ^_^ They're getting so long now it's good to know people are still bothering to go through them all (What kind of something do you mean?)

(I remember that! It was a real shame we couldn't get the whole group together when we were taking photos, but considering how confused it all got we were probably lucky to have gotten as many people as we did. ^^; Ah well.)

sansele November 1 2008, 18:30:15 UTC

So many people can't be bothered to write long reports, but they're so nice to read and remember stuff with. :) (Present! You'll understand when you see it.)

That's true. XD;;;

rallamajoop November 2 2008, 02:22:03 UTC

(Okay, cool, though I have no idea when I'm likely to see you next at this point. ^^; Excepting the Waicon ball, of course.)

LACK OF BARDO AMONGST LAMENTO GROUP DEPRESSES ME SLIGHTLY

Awesome efforts all around, otherwise.

rallamajoop November 2 2008, 02:03:24 UTC

Apparently they were going to have both a Bardo and a Verg as well, but those two had to pull out before the day. I guess when you have that many people in one group the odds of that happening to someone gets pretty high. ^^;

gonsai November 2 2008, 02:05:47 UTC

True. This is, perhaps, the largest Lamento group I've seen outside of Asia.

POWER TO GAY CAT MEN. Not catboys. Cat MEN.

I CERTAINLY DON'T STYLE MY HAIR LIKE THAT ON PURPOSE, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. WAIT, MY HEADBAND HAS WRITING ON IT? LIES! :D

Apparently I am in need of a Ky icon or two rallamajoop November 2 2008, 12:36:56 UTC

SOMETHING ABOUT SOME NO NAME BAND NO-ONE REMEMBERS, I AM SURE. AND THAT'S ONLY IF YOU'VE ACTUALLY COMBED YOUR HAIR FOR ONCE.

You should make one out of this picture, it's hilarious velithya November 2 2008, 12:56:55 UTC

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, BOY, YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE BAND IN QUESTION AS PROVED BY HOW YOU RECOGNISE THE QUOTE IN QUESTION.

For preference, one where Ky has actually washed his hair in the last month rallamajoop November 2 2008, 12:58:38 UTC

THAT QUOTE YOU WERE JUST TRYING TO TELL ME YOU DID NOT KNOW WAS THERE, HM?

yiji_chan November 2 2008, 10:53:24 UTC

LOVE FOR YOU.

I love reading your con reports. Actually, all your stuff. It's just so humorous! xD

I ganked a couple of these photos for my DA, is that okay with you?

You made such a smexy Millia. <333333333

rallamajoop November 2 2008, 11:49:12 UTC

<3

Thanks! I don't usually get around to doing con reports in anything like this kind of detail, but I am glad all my blathering is entertaining people~

Totally fine! Gank away.

♥♥♥ Thank you, I'm seriously pleased the costume came out as well as it did. (And FTR, Tokyo Gameshow had more Bridgets than any other GG character, but I can't remember a single one who'd done nearly as good a job on the costume as you. So glad you got to come cosplay with us that day!)

And before I forget again, we have this chibi Naruto doujinshi we need to talk about sometime really soon.

yiji_chan November 2 2008, 22:48:21 UTC

Gwurgh, I'll bet there were 6254698635 Bridgets there. Though I'll wager NONE OF THEM HAD BIG MCLARGE HUGE. >D

Your Millia costume is undoubtedly the nicest one I've seen yet, what with all your awesomely perfect detailing and all. And you had the grace and poise to pull her off perfectly, too. xD

Ah yes, that. xD'''' Well, the convention season for me is pretty much over for now until Wai-Con, so I'll have some time to work on that. I found the draft of it in my room after copious searchings, so if I get started on it soon it shouldn't take me too long. x3'''' GOMEN~

rallamajoop November 3 2008, 01:05:19 UTC

*tries to remember* One or two of them might have some kind of sad teddyish thing they were calling 'roger' or something... TOTALLY NOT ON THE SAME SCALE!

^///^; you would not believe how long a person can spend agonising over how wide those blue stripes are meant to be you've heard what everyone's egging me on to do next, right?

I've been so flat out I've hardly had the chance to think about it until now too. ^^; But we've still got time left before we're going to do the reprint for Waicon, so let's get this thing drawn!
