"look, i'm not trying to follow yo-"
"you sayin' I like dudes?"
The back of the sign says "more wolfjob!"
When I walked up to him and accidentally said "Ippo?" a hilarious trend of obviously misidentifying every cosplay was begun
I called three slendermen "freddy fazbear" and their reactions ranged from a laugh and a brofist, to stalking me throughout the con as punishment
THROUGH THE HEAVENS
"Kingdom Hearts?"
"No-"
"I'm fucking with you, that cosplay is amazing. Mind if I get a picture?"
FOR THE EMPEROR
Turns out him and his friend (cosplaying as GRRM) were really talented VAs. That was a fun conversation!
I was really impressed by this, seeing as how most homestuck cosplayers at AWA just sort of threw some shit on and stuck some horns on
Sos I walk up to this girl, without noticing the chainsaw hand, right?
"Sweet cosplay, Seras Victoria, right?"
"T_T"
First she stared at me, then when I apologized she threatened to hurt me if I didn't get it right. After a second I noticed the chainsaw hand, and guessed Ash (or Ashley in this case, I guess) from Evil Dead, which meant I got a picture with her and her friend cosplaying as Fluttershy.
This kind of juxtaposition is what makes me happy at cons.
I complimented her on the JoJo cosplay, which started a conversation during which I became painfully aware of just how crazy shitfaced she was. Choice excerpts:
"Jojo, man? IT MAKES M-, MY FUCKIN' DIAMOND! IT MAKES IT FUCKIN' UNBREAAAAAKABLE!"
"So where should I start in JoJo?"
"T-,the BEGINNING! because it's all so FUCKING GOOOOD"
At which point I asked her to take her "most retarded jojo pose," and she gave me this.
angry selfie!
my friend to the left was cosplaying as Medusa ("Wasn't she blonde tho" "Not in the Manga"), and even though I didn't take a picture I literally only saw one other Medusa that was as good as her.
YANG
This was so fantastic
Pedobear cares for your children's safety
America always comes out on top
Cosplaying as a cosplayer never ends poorly
YON KNIGHT OF YENGLING
fun fact: I saw him four hours later, and he had taken the beer he had drank over the knight and created pauldrons for his beer armour.
Trolljirobe, who gave out free senzu beans after I took a picture
Rose and Kanaya (With a friend photobombing like a true dick)
The Kanaya had a homemade chainsaw covered in purple Eridan blood ("I don't really know what pose to do" "Give me a pose like you just killed the biggest douchebag in the universe"), which is what really got me to take the picture.
Method acting
Okay, no shit, this was really good and really creative.
Apparently this is FemShep armour from ME3? Because that intensity you see in her eyes is laser-focused anger from me not getting her character right
"Nice Mass Effect armour! Are you cosplaying... Garrus, i guess?"
"what"
"Well, with the high collar..."
"no idiot i'm not cosplaying Garrus"
"Femshep then?"
"T_T"
What really needs to be said?
"Give me your best 'i'm coming down the hallway to rape you' pose."
More really good Homestuck cosplay
I was walking in the main hall and there was this mob of homestuck occuring
"Look, I don't understand the context, all I understand is weird shit"
"YO I LOVE PICTURES GET ME GET ME"
"Can do Vriska"
Definitely one of my favourite moments from the con. He was standing in front of the pre-reg line smiling a blank smile, and would give someone a quest if they came up to him
"(after exposition) and so, if you can come up with an appropriate name for me, I will reward you handsomely in gol-"
"Soldier McChainmail"
"..."
I got a chocolate gold coin, and it was amazing.
I didn't have all that much of a reason for this, other than the fact that it was a fantastic Mindfang
So, before we left, I decided to wander around the con to see what I could see.
This Ice King was a total bro about pictures
Of course, the same Kanji from earlier came back on the final day as Shadow Kanji
"I don't really know how to pose..."
"Give me your best 'I'm the representation of your gay inner self' pose"
But of course, the last picture was something that I could not fabricate if I tried.
Horse Altair
ggamer cannot comprehend
how amazing this picture is
even still.
