DEAR lusa_thul! That person that drew the hot hot art of Jacen and Tenel Ka ALSO DREW LUSA (linked to the gallery to pimp the rest of the J/TK & TK art! XD)! THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE THAT. <3, ME.


HAY I'M FLIPPING OUT. IT'S 12:30 AND THAT MEANS TOMORROW IS THURSDAY! :OOOOOO WOOOO!

Y HALLO THAR. I am putting together a contact list for D*C peeps. I said I would do this awhile ago then I forgot because I am a loser. I guess this is mainly for myself, but I'm sure it'll mostly be full of people on here/on Kriff This -- so you can always get a copy/a number or something, you know, if you aren't a creepy stalker and know the person. XD

So I am going to start making a little thing of yay up, complete with arrival/departure times and days, phone numbers, hotels and possibly even costume schedules so I can FIND EVERYONE AND PROPERLY DELIVER HARASSMENT. I MEAN, uh... yeah.

To put yourself on my said list of doom (even if I already have your contact info, you can throw it my way anyways so I can be sure it's all up-to-date), you can either IM me (Tenel Ka XD), email me (heather @ whatthefun.net) or PM me on KT (uh, click on the PM link under one of my posts on the board...? O_o). Hehe~

PHONE #, HOTEL YOU'RE STAYING AT, ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE TIME/DAYS WHATEVER, COSTUME SCHEDULE (this one is really seriously optional, but SEND IT IF YOU WANT XD)~

THXUOMG.

I may or may not have already packed my makeup bag and prop bag for Dragon*Con.

...

And by may or may not I mean I may.

I have also been seriously sucked back into Digital Devil Saga (omg I miss these games and I forgot how angry and hot Heat is. MMMMMmMmMMMMmm WHAT?), which is bad cause it's not on my GREAT VIDEO GAME HEIST OF 2008 list. I know there is no way I will get all those done by the end of the year, but I will get them done one day, dammit.

http://www.mattersoftheforce.org/schedule08/ -- HIT UP THE MOS EISLEY CANTINA IN ZOMBIE GEAR. Y/N?

And are... are you effing kidding me? Seriously? Seriously? Is this needed?

The new game has nine weapons instead of six. There is no more lead pipe, and the revolver is now a pistol. The company also added a trophy, an ax and a baseball bat.

What is this -- Gossip Girl: the board game? A party mansion? A spa and a theater in said mansion?

Miss Scarlet has a first name: Cassandra. Colonel Mustard left the military; he's a former football star. Victor Plum, formerly the professor who was always known as the smartest man in the room, became recast as a self-made video game designer — a dot-com billionaire.

... really?

And there's still those rumors about remaking the movie floating around. Someone's gonna get my foot up their ass if that happens.

I AM TIRED AND WANT TO NAP. D:

This pisses me off so hard.

"LOL US UBER FOOTBALL FANZ B STEALIN' UR ROOM RATEZ~"

So some pasty white boy totally needs to dress up like Rick Astley for Dragon*Con and basically -- by either stereo or singing -- needs to walk around and Rickroll the shit out of everyone there.

Hehe. So Saturday night, Ronnie and Alex came over and we sat around and ate pizza and watched The Chipmunk Adventure. If you've never seen that movie, you're missing out. I want my own Alvin and the Chipmunks (AND CHIPETTES) dolls with diamonds in them. I had forgotten how creepy the bad guys were, but I had definitely not forgotten my favorite number -- when Alvin, Simon and Theodore sing Wooly Bully for the natives and make the poles they're tied to start dancing. MAGIC, I TELL YOU. Also, when Alvin offers them his "shoesies~"

We also realized there is no way that movie would fly today. There are so many things that people would get all offended over and come on now, it's the effing CHIPMUNKS.

(I also never knew Simon was the oldest chipmunk. I always thought it was Alvin cause he was the "leader" -- except he wasn't using his age for leverage, I guess. He was just being a little asshole. XD)

Also also. Jeanette + Simon = OTP.

After that we randomly played stuff until midnight when we decided to take a trip to Ronnie's to get one of his 360 controllers and his guitar -- then we went to the creepy 7-11 (where everyone knew Alex's name, thanks to his awesome nametag) and talked on the way back about how many damn people were there. We started a band on Rock Band named Socially Awkward (which has a very "awesome" logo showing the danger of... cutting roses?) and my arms hurt like a bitch cause I was on drums. I was only playing on easy too. :|

We got online with all the twelve year olds around 3 A.M. to play Gears of War, and switched to Grand Theft Auto when GoW only had a bunch of elitist, snotty assholes playing it. GTA was much better and Alex was able to run around and play deathmatch with a billion people. And race helicopters.

There should be hot air balloon races though. Or just hot air balloons in general, cause the Chipmunks Adventure taught us a lot about hot air ballooning.

(WE'RE THE GIRLS OF ROCK AND ROLLLLL~ RAWAWAWAWAWK AND ROOLOLOLOLOLOLOL~)

Dammit. Now it's stuck in my head. D:

I think I might make brown boot covers for my black Tenel Ka boots and just wear those for zombie!Shmi -- I'm gonna be wearing a long skirt anyways so it's not like they'll have to look awesome. Plus that means I will have to bring one less pair of boots! Which actually means I will only have ONE PAIR OF BOOTS TO BRING TO D*C. WHAT? WHAT THE HELL? USUALLY IT'S LIKE FOUR. OMG. Well, okay, I'd probably be bringing three this year (black TK boots, brown YJK TK boots for Shmi and a fun pair to wear when not in costume). So scratch the YJK brown ones for Shmi and I will just have the black TK ones and a fun yay pair. SO TWO.

... THAT'S BETTER THAN FOUR.

Ya'll know it's that time of year I have to bust out this icon, right?






Also, reading the con report from last year... I effing love this. This is one of the best random D*C moments ever.

We get in the elevator to go back down to the room and Ronnie is waving all crazy at these people playing a game at a table on the way down and there's a chick at the table just like, "O_O" -- it was awesome. Then he talks to girls in the elevator about Handy Manny and turns my water into beer water by being like, "NOW I'M GONNA DRINK THIS WATER!" and swigging my water. It was worth it though, cause it was classic. We get into the room and Ashley and Emily are sitting around and Ronnie is blabbing to them and going on and it's incredible and for some reason he starts listing something -- I don't remember for the life of me what the list was of, but I remember him going into the bathroom and shutting the door to go to the bathroom and talking to himself in there the whole time. I remember hearing this through the wall. "NUMBER FOUR. I'M DRUNK!" HAHA LOVE. XD

DRAGON*CON CHAT ON TEH AIM TONIGHT/THIS WEEKEND.

And I mean everything -- arrival times, plans, makeup, dances, your mom, meetup times, photo ideas, costume stuff, etc., etc.

WHO WOULD LIKE TO CHAT? AND WHEN? XD

OKAY. So Dragon*Con is now 28 days away and I'm currently flipping my shit. I still need to remake the asscape (<333) for Tempest Tenel Ka, make the Whole Damn Tenel Ka Queen dress (why do I have a bad feeling about getting that done) and the Whole Damn Maid Marian cloak. Good news: Peter had gotten a lot more bloody and Lisey's towel and garland are done. Therefore, DONE: Peter McVries, Chris Chambers, Lisey Landon, Little Sister -- ALMOST DONE BUT NOT QUITE: Shmi Skywalker (need to rip up and BLOODIFY), Tempest Tenel Ka (asscape!) -- NOT DONE: Queen Tenel Ka (the ideas for this are SO YAY THEY MAKE ME HAPPY but I need time to get them done, so we'll see if it actually happens), Maid Marian (I believe the cloak will be half-assed and not a pattern).

I will be making an update to The Death Stars site this weekend (and probably the last before D*C), so if you still want in on the group SEND ME YOUR PROFILE INFO (aka drop a comment here with it or respond with it in this thread). So then I can make the final updates on the profile section and once the convention is over turn the site into a YAY LOOK AT US BEING DUMB IN THESE PICTURES, like the Mission to Myrkr site turned into once CIII was over. :D

One day I'm gonna go stay in the Stanley Hotel.

The neoclassical hotel was the inspiration for the fictional Overlook Hotel in Stephen King's novel The Shining. While he and his wife were staying at the Stanley, King conceived the basic idea for the novel. The 1997 television miniseries version of The Shining was filmed at the Stanley. In May 2006, investigators with The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) investigated the hotel for the SciFi Channel program Ghost Hunters. TAPS returned to the hotel on October 31st, 2006 for a live, six hour follow-up investigation.

I WOULD ROLL AROUND ON THE FLOOR IN THAT PLACE AND BE LIKE LOL STEPHEN KING AND THE GHOST HUNTERS! Also, would totally ghost hunt myself. :D WOULDN'T SLEEP. ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY.

And here's your daily fun from The Long Walk:

Baker: "Move away. Or I'll poke you."
Barkovitch: "It's against the rules. Keep it in mind, cracker."

Okay, whatever year the Long Walk movie comes out, there totally needs to be a bunch of us all bullet-holed (save for that one magical boy, natch) and costumed out with canteens and belts AND NUMBERS and stuff at Dragon*Con IN THE PARADE.

Because then we'll be walking in a street. With people on both sides of it. And it would be AMAZING. AND BLOODY. AND YAY SILLY TEENAGE BOY SHENANIGANS. :D

LOL okay. Usually I have my suitcase and a shoe bag for Dragon*Con. Lots of my costumes have thin or no shoes this year. So I have a feeling it will be a suitcase and a prop bag.

So on the left we have the three Long Walk numbers, which will be recycled this year, the boy scout pack (which will be used for both my Peter McVries costume and Ashley's Gordie LaChance costume), the little box on top of that is my CANDY CIGARETTES (<3333!) for Chris Chambers (since ew real cigarettes D:), the gold tiara for Maid Marian, the belt/canteen/pouch for Peter McVries, the shovel for Lisey Landon, the bloody yellow afghan square for Lisey Landon (I LOVE YOU EMILY <333), TENEL KA LIGHTSABER OMGOMGOMGOGM, the bloody axe for Ashley's Annie Wilkes costume, the GHETTOBLASTER for the Zel twins and then at the bottom is my ADAM needle for my Little Sister. This pile is missing the crazy flower garland for the Lisey costume.

ALSO.

( THIS TOOTH. IN THE HAND ON THE ARM I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE FOR THE COSTUME. )

BECAUSE 34 DAYS. :O

I am still pissed about Rachel Weisz not being in the third Mummy movie, but I am gonna have to see it on the big screen. Good cheese fun! Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh = automatic love (Luke Ford and Isabella Leong are bot HOT as well). Also, John Hannah always kicks ass in the Mummy movies and gets The Best Lines. Looks like he's getting them in this one too. XD I guess I will reserve judgement on Maria Bello until I see her as Evelyn and I will try not to be too bitchy from the get-go. But no one can kick ass as Evie as well as Rachel -- that is like her character.

Plus, THE TERRA COTTA ARMY. And omg YETI. ksdjfkajsfdksjdfkjdfkjsdfkjdkj~

(And omg BRENDAN FRASER SO CUTE ;-;~)

SO I WENT TO THE CRENTIST DENTIST TODAY. AFTER FIVE YEARS. No cavities! :D They did a crazy cleaning though. Then for the fluoride I got to bite down on this mouth thing that had the stuff in it -- it looked like hair mousse and tasted like mint and it seriously looked like I was foaming at the mouth with rabies or something. D:

My back feels a little better. I wasn't really paying attention to it today cause I was so paranoid about the dentist -- but I think it's getting there. I also managed to bloody up my Peter McVries shirt a bit more. My bullet hole will definitely have to be on the left this year. Hehe~ I love how four of my eight costumes require me to be gross and bloody (zombie!Shmi, Peter McVries, Lisey Landon & Little Sister). Luckily the other four (the Tenel Kasasasasasasas, Chris Chambers & Maid Marian) require me to be clean (and only one of those four require me to BE A MAN, HUG IT OUT BITCH~)... heeeeee.

And I want to have Sam Sparro's babies. Especially for this song. And "Pocket" and "Black and Gold"... but mostly this one.

AHAHAHAHA, I'm on Entertainment Weekly's website. I was reading one of their photo gallery articles today and I got to #12 and I started reading the blurb and I was like, "SHIT, I TOTALLY WANT TO HANG OUT WITH THIS PERSON. THEY LIKE AWESOME MOVIES~" and then I remembered answering this question on EW's blog and the person I wanted to hang out with was suddenly ME. XD

#12 on the "23 Movies You'd Love To See On the Big Screen"

LOL, GONNA GO HANG OUT WITH MYSELF NOW. BRB.

Last night I had a dream I got to Dragon*Con and was so excited and had all my costumes and I was gonna go change into one and then I realized I forgot all my shoes and all my props (along with the bloody axe and blaster I'm supposed to bring for Ashley, hehe). :| Right now I am laughing my ass off about said dream, but when I woke up from it I was like "OHHHHH NOOOOO HOW AM I GONNA WEAR THESE COS--- wait, it was a dream. PHEW."

Haha, I love how the Star Wars/Bioshock story has me looking at the wikipedia page for things like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asshole ("...the use to refer to a contemptible person is first attested in 1933") and sites like http://www.alphadictionary.com/slang/ to see when certain phrases and words were heavily in use and stuff. I mean, there was definitely cursing in Bioshock - but it just seems so weird to write JACEN SOLO SAYING "SON OF A BITCH"~

(Oh my gawwwwd, Anakin Solo with glasses -- CUTEST THING EVER. <3333)

BUAHAHAHHA~ so NBC is doing Celebrity Family Feud. It starts on July 1st and looks totally silly. BUT I HAVE TO WATCH THIS EPISODE.

-- Episode 5
-The primary cast of My Name Is Earl (including Jason Lee and Jamie Pressly) vs. the secondary cast of Earl (including Tim Stack and show creator Greg Garcia)
-The cast of The Office (including Creed Bratton and Brian Baumgartner) vs. the cast of American Gladiators (including Titan and Venom)

YES. XD


So 80 days left till Dragon*Con. The only costume that is completely done is the Little Sister. And I need to splatter some more blood all over Peter McVries' shirt (AND BUY MORE MACAROONS, LOL) -- then he will be done too. Actually, Chris Chambers is done too -- cause I have a white shirt and I most definitely ordered candy cigarettes to roll up in my sleeve. Cause I will eat those. I would not buy a real pack of cigarettes. CANCER ROLLED UP IN MY T-SHIRT NO THX. D:

Done = three out of eight.

I was cutting out pieces of the Uber-Queenly Tenel Ka Costume of Doomage last night and my Mom wanders over and looks at it and totally expounds on an idea I had concerning it and makes the costume like a billion times cooler, if said idea ends up working out. We stood there for like twenty minutes holding up fabric and pieces and all kinds of crap and going "OH MY SHIT THAT WOULD BE SO AMAZING" -- and now I am so horribly giddy for this Queen outfit. I just hope it works out. <3

Shmi is getting there. I need to sew the pieces of the top, which I will do kind of crappily since I'm just tearing it up and bloodying it anyways. Still need a belt for her. Tempest Tenel Ka -- redoing a couple things. Probably saving that till after I finish the Queen dress. Lisey -- got my shorts and my towel (AND MY SHOVEL XD). Need to fix towel and also tea/bloody-up said towel. Also need to figure out what to do about the little afghan square. Oh, and make the Boo'ya Moon garland. :O And then Maid Marian -- STILL PROCRASTINATING ON THE CLOAK. :|

Haha, I love how for three out of these eight costumes (four if you count the dried blood crap all over the Little Sister) -- one of the steps for each is basically: COVER IT IN BLOOD.

Oh, Dragon*Con. <3

Do you want to know how crazy/anal D*C COSTUMING always make me? I have a flipping ORG CHART LOL. There is a row for what shoes I need for each costume, a row for clothing items I need, a row for props needed and a row for shit I still need to do. They're also arranged in the order I'm wearing them. And then a list of other things I need to bring. This also acts as my packing list and has hundreds of red lines on it once I'm all packed for the con. XD

I also need to figure out how short to get my bangs cut in August -- because I want bangs but I don't want them too short. Maybe I will get them layered from my cheekbones down. HMMMMMMMM.

AND HAHAHA, I love how it only took like TWO YEARS to finally get Peter McVries, Art Baker and Ray Garraty in a thread together. WITH THE ADDED SCOTT LANDON BONUS. XD

NNGGGHHH, ABNEY PARK IS GONNA BE AT DRAGON*CON. :O If I had a dollar for every time I gothed out to the song, "The Wake" while I was totally anti-social in middle school I WOULD BE RICH. And now they are marketing themselves as a Steampunk band.

The band's live show has been performed across the U.S. with dates in the works throughout Europe and Australia. During their performance, fans — dressed like the band in Victorian adventuring attire, corsets, gators, bowlers, flight helmets, goggles, leather safari vests, big boots, et al — can expect clockwork guitars, belly dancers, flintlock bassists, Middle Eastern percussion, violent violin, and Tesla powered keyboards blazing in a post-apocalyptic, swashbuckling swirl of Steampunk musical mayhem.

LOL WE'RE TOTALLY GOING TO THE SHOW AT D*C, YOU GUYS.

Hahaha, omg one of the logos for Mysterium this year -- it's in Boston -- this is absolutely amazing. SIRRUS = LOVE. XD

AND. I MIGHT ACTUALLY READ A COMIC BOOK. OH MY SHIT. RANDALL FLAGG SO NASTY. <3333 MUAHAHA~

Sunday, Mom and I went out shopping and I ended up getting fabric for the top of the Shmi (DEAD!SHMI!) costume. I cut out all the pieces and also started cutting pieces for my uber-Queen Tenel Ka outfit of massive doom and stuff. I also found a shovel for the Lisey Landon costume, which is effing awesome cause it's like a pint-size half shovel. It's like someone took a shrinking ray aiming to make the shovel a spade and didn't have enough power so it came out as this silly little shovel. Which is awesome because I was afraid I'd be slapping people upside the head with a normal shovel.

We also had a D*C chat that actually ACHIEVED THINGS! I KNOW. IT SHOCKED ME TOO. IT WAS AMAZING. prix_etoile, see_aphy_be, lusa_thul and jedijaya were present and they helped me with ideas for Dead!Shmi and I helped Kyle find some stuff she could use for Dead!Mara and we planned general asshattery for the con and all that.

WE'LL BE HAVING ANOTHER CHAT SOON. LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTAKE IN CON/COSTUME PLANNING OR SOMETHING. HURRRR.

And then today on lunch break I actually sat down and made an effing spreadsheet in Excel about crap I need to do/have/get for costumes. MUAHAH~ Scheduling might switch up a bit, but I am telling myself I can't change this list NO MATTER WHAT (even though the pull of an Old School American Gladiators outfit is SO HARD).

D*C 2008 FINAL COSTUME LIST OF LOLS:
-- Chris Chambers (Stand By Me/Stephen King's The Body, w/ Aphy as Gordie Lachance)
-- Lisey Landon (Stephen King's Lisey's Story, King group w/ Aphy as Annie from Misery)
-- Peter McVries (Stephen King's The Long Walk, w/ Aphy as Art Baker & Em as the Major)
-- Tempest Cover Tenel Ka (Star Wars Legacy of the Force: Tempest, w/ EU characters galore!)
-- Queen Tenel Ka (Star Wars Hapan Royalty of many Yays and Backstabbings!, w/ more EU characters!)
-- Dead!Shmi Skywalker (Your Favorite Dead Star Wars Characters!, w/ all these thugs <3)
-- Little Sister (Bioshock, w/ Aphy as a Spider Splicer! <3)
-- Maid Marian (Robin Hood: Men in Tights, w/ Team Takeo & Rhythm Bandits as the MiT!)

(HEY, DID YOU GUYS KNOW I LIKED STEPHEN KING AND STAR WARS? I DIDN'T. :|)

I already have Peter (D*C '07) and the Little Sister (Katsucon '08) done. I'm remaking parts of Tempest TK (D*C '06 & Anime USA '07) and adding to it (except not those effing scales those are fine and I never want to mess with them again XD). Chambers is just a random thing (IMMA BE RIVER PHOENIX, YOU GUYS) to throw on during costume downtime and basic clothes, so it's pretty much done. So the ones I really need to focus on are Lisey, Shmi, Queenie Teekay and Marian (I'M SEW HEPPAY~!). FOUR COSTUMES. THREE MONTHS. GO.

The best part about these is that I only need to bring two pairs of boots to the con. Unlike last year where I brought FOUR PAIRS OF BOOTS. :| Chris and Peter wear Converse. Little Sister and Lisey are barefoot (I'll have flip-flops :P) -- and I have slippers for Marian and sandals for Queen TK. LOL, this is gonna be the most comfortable con for my feet in a long time. Especially after these last year. Which is a very good thing. Considering how much my feet HATE ME RIGHT NOW.


P.S. Why do cameo brooches remind me of HAPES? Is it the whole "LOOK AT THESE PRETTY LADIES!" thing or what? Cause I'm totally thinking about incorporating one on the Queen TK dress. LOL IT'S A PORTRAIT OF MY MAMMA TENENIEL, I SWEARS IT. XD

And here is an open letter to all my fellow Star Wars cosplayers that will be at D*C. LOL~

DEAR SW: EU PEEPS @ DRAGON*CON!:

This is what I'm seeing as far as characters -- if we all get together at once and have a shoot it will be like the biggest explosion of EU-related amazingness ever. Almost as big as the almost-17/fully-manned (LOLOLOL and by almost I mean 12-manned) Jedi Strike Team at CIII. XD

lusa_thul -- (possibly) Alema Rar (OMG PLEEEEEEEASE -- OR LUMIYA!)
prix_etoile -- Allana (little Allana or teenage!Princess!ZOMG Allana)
blood_sorbet -- Ben Skywalker (Fury Cover)
CloakedSchemer on c.com/dracomalfoy05 -- Ben Skywalker (G.A.G. uniform)
ANBU101 on c.com -- Darth Caedus (Like hardcore Darth with the contacts and everything)
scruffyrebel -- Jaina Solo (which version are you bringing? :D)
rurouni_jedi -- Jaina Solo (and which version are you bringing? and WILL JAG BE THERE AS WELL? XDDD)
Sticks on c.com/isabella_cullen -- Jaina Solo (NEGtC or LotF Jedi)
iamsooverrated -- Jaina Solo or Jysella Horn or Mirax, LOL (I believe all costumes will be brought, YES MAYBE? XD)
(LOL do you see a pattern here) Tenel Ka on c.com/tenel_ka -- Tenel Ka (revamped Tempest cover or new Queenly dress thingum)

And I know see_aphy_be is waffling on a character to be SO THAT'S ONE MORE. XD

What would be amazing = the addition of a Zekk, Kyp, Trista/Taryn, Mara, Tahiri, Force Ghost Anakin and/or A KYLE KATARN BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH KYLE EFFING KATARN. XD

THE PICTURE POSSIBILITIES FORMING IN MY HEAD ARE AMAZING. :O

(I'm serious. Four Jaina's versus a Caedus. Tenel Ka pimping on all four Jaina's. Caedus inviting all the Ben's into his van because he has SITH CANDY. Allana and Tenel Ka and Caedus in a rip-off of like... a Sears family portrait. Oh oh oh and especially if there was a Kyp, a Zekk and a Jag -- in the middle of all those Jaina's. They would be like, "LOL PIMP! *hi5s*")

MAKE THE LIST GROW, MOAR EU COSPLAYERS!!11



DEAR SW: DEAD/ZOMBIE PEEPS @ DRAGON*CON! (or people looking to join):

Your makeup will be assisted with if you want help with it. This is not going to be like a, "LOL everyone does it themselves and then we meet up somewhere and take a few shots and we're done." We can help you with your gashes and your cuts and all the details of your character's death. We're not like uber-awesome or anything with the makeup but we're good enough to get the point across. Hehehe~

And I don't think we'll be totally zombie-ing out, since that would take a hella-long time. I think we're focusing mostly on death-related injuries with a little added zombie-decaying here and there. Rancor bites, rope burns, stabinations, IT WILL BE EXCITING!!!1 Oh, and Ashley totally gets to use the cool freezing makeup on herself since she is a Dead Hoth Rebel. XD

So yes, if you're afraid of the makeup and that's why you haven't joined then forget all that and BECOME YOUR DEAD FAVORITE SW CHARACTER. XD

And I'm pimping this out because we're seriously starting work on this crap and having chats and stuff since D*C is THREE MONTHS AWAY.

Check the magical list of the dead and LET ME KNOW and I will ADD YOU. And we can all DISCUSS EATING BRAINS. MUAHAH~ I was holding a couple characters but it's been months since the people have gotten back to me so any character not taken ON THE WEBSITE LIST is UP FOR GRABS.

And again, your outfits do not have to be spot-on perfect -- especially since they will be ALL TORN UP AND DEADIFIED. So no worries about costumes being too difficult as well. Hell, I'm looking at damn bathrobes to use for Shmi since I'm gonna tear it all to smithereens from TUSKEN RAIDER BEATINGS. [/morbid]

Ahahahah, I am so wrong. XD

So this weekend was the weekend I realized, "Shit, Dragon*Con is only four months away and I have ONE out of SIX costumes completed!"

(TWO out of SEVEN if I bring my Little Sister costume! :D)

(THREE out of EIGHT if you count the Stand by Me boys -- but that's a white t-shirt and jeans!)

And the only reason one is completed is because it was a costume I wore last year: Peter McVries. BIG HEARTS.

As for the other five...

SHMI SKYWALKER (dead/zombified): I'm waffling on this one because there is a good one or two characters I'm thinking I might want to try my hand at instead, but I'm not sure yet... this is why I haven't started this costume yet.

MAID MARIAN: I have the nightgown and I have a pair of slippers to shuffle around in. But you know in the movie Pee Wee's Big Adventure where Pee Wee saves all the animals from the burning pet store and he keeps passing the snakes and sneering at them and procrastinating with them? That's me with this cloak. "I'M SEW HIAPPY~!"

ELLIOT REID: I haven't done anything with this because I have no idea if we're still doing it or not. XD (ARE WE? :OOOO)

TENEL KA: I wanted to do a sort of effed up hybrid of ROYAL OVERDONE GOWN/ARMOR OF DOOM. But I have this idea floating in my head of a dress. It's dark blue and all queenly and shit. But the idea for the cloak/capelet thing I have going in my head is gonna kick ass if I can get it to work... so I think QUEENLY DRESSAGE OF DOOM will be what I bring. It'll match KYLE'S ROYAL ALLANA <333 -- and hopefully be fun with Ben's/Caedus/Jaina's, etc. XD I'll most likely bring the Tempest cover TK as a backup as well.

LISEY LANDON: OH LISEY. I sat down to start work on this over the weekend and I kind of stared at it. Cause my first order of business is to turn the picture under the cut below into a garland I can basically wear like a boa that reflects the floral fucking awesomeness of BOO'YA MOON. And it will be slow and tedious but it must be done cause omg.

( They are just sitting on the table like this like, LOL GLUE ME YOU STUPID TWERP. )

So that's where I stand. Four months. Less than four months. :O

Here is another present for you all. I've been working on it forever. And I am in love with it. It's a Jacen Solo fanmix Musical.

It's called: HEY - a Jacen Solo Musical

As for a preview of what you will find under the cut.


(Also, Mullet!Jacen and his Kill List.)

And that's all I have to say about that.

OH OH OH WAIT, there are no Invincible spoilers under this cut! Although there's lots of cursing and other assorted asshattery, BUT DID YOU EXPECT ANY LESS?

Okay, NOW WE'RE READY FOR LIFT OFF.

( JACEN SOLO WANTS YOU! FOR GAG! To GAG? To gag, wait, what? -- warning for lots of languages of the cursing kind and lots of cracktastical Star Warish janks. Also, caps lock fun! )


And holy crap, according to the cosplay.com D*C '08 Star Wars thread of doom, besides my TK, there's a Ben (teeeeheheh CS <3), a Caedus(!!!) and a Jaina (HI KAYLI~ XDDD)! And then of course lots of movie characters. IT WILL BE A PARTY! (THERE IS ALSO KYLE'S ALLANA -- OMG MOTHER/DAUGHTER XD <33333333 ILU~)
