ANIMANIA 03 2011 // REBORN!
HI.
I'M GOING TO EAT YOUR SOUL.
Man, who needs photoshop when make-up, circle lenses and false eyelashes will give you GIANT SOULESS EYEBALLS OF DOOM.
So this weekend was Animania Melbourne, one of the tiniest, crappiest cons in our fair city. Of course, we went and spent a lot of effort on costumes ;A;
Or, rather, everyone else did. I borrowed the magnificent efforts of sloobeast, though I couldn't wear it half as well. Lal Mirch, future version. Though I think I'm rather small enough to pass for the baby version :0
It also had no pants.
ACTUALLY, A LIE. :'D THE PANTS ARE VERY SHORT SHORTS AND UNFORTUNATELY CLEVERLY concealed beneath the cape of doom. Also, I tend to sprawl.
OUR GROUP WAS HUUUUGE. ELEVEN PEOPLE, OR SOMETHING RIDICULOUS LIKE THAT.
First gen:
sloobeast as (THE FABULOUS) Daemon Spade, Rei as G, and surealistic_des as the incredibly dashing Alaude.
AND OF COURSE, LEADER.
animesque looking exceptionally manly.
And the slightly less flamboyantly fabulous, but still extremely wonderful tenth generation.
aomarine as Gokudera, adzvmc as Ryuuhei, and bucket_shot as Tsuna.
+ the girl that he likes!!
kaorismash as Kyoko.
Tsuna doesn't need girls, though :0 He has his biggest fan, Gokudera.
Not pictured: Mukuro and Hibari, who both ran off before the shoot and didn't come with us to have lunch where I managed to get my hands on a camera and with the help of Desu's incredibly elegant hands, captured a touching moment.
ALL IN ALL, A FAINTLY HILARIOUS DAY.
MY HIGHLIGHT, THOUGH, WAS KIYO.
KIYOOOO. I AM ENAMOURED WITH KIYO, EVERYONE KNOWS THIS. HE IS MY FAVOURITE.
Embarrassingly enough, it appears I actually already knew Kiyo. He was the Mad Hatter who won King of the Night opposite me in my fabulous pantsless Zhou Tai, whose feet I stepped on as we waltzed and who I ditched on the dancefloor when my wardrobe majorly malfunctioned and my hip skirts fell off.
I... am more amused by this than I should be, but when I was chatting with Kiyo (by which I mean, FLAILING AT AN EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH PITCH AND SPEED AT HIM. LINC TELLS ME MY EXPRESSION OF UNHOLY GLEE WAS ACTUALLY FRIGHTENING), I was suddenly struck by the thought I had seen him before. Unfortunately, he had already recognised me and had to politely clue me in that I had pretty much accidentally stripped in his arms.
KIYO, GUYS. KIYOOOOOOOO. KJAJKJKWE.
Then, because I am a ninja creeper, I found him on facebook and friended him and hassled him into agreeing to do a photoshoot with me when I fix up Nene properly ♥ SCORE. I WILL THROW ONIGIRI AT HIM AND IT WILL BE FANTASTIC JHAJKKJWE I CANNOT WAIT.
