NIGHT BEFORE THE CON

Things no one tells you about getting into cosplay.

Thu, 23 May 2013 18:00:34 -0400

There will always be someone that you feel is better than you. Always. Learn to accept that.
What takes you two days now will, with practice, take you two hours later. Keep at it.
There will be people who tell you that you’re too fat, or thin, or black, or white to cosplay a character. For every one of them, there are 10 who love your cosplay. Don’t listen to the hate.
Keep the first cosplay you ever make. Or at least photos. It will remind you of how far you’ve come later.
Always map out how much fabric you need and buy a yard more.
When you see a $0.99 pattern sale, buy as many as you can. You never know when they’ll come in handy. (It’s also fun to see the crazy high price under “you saved” when you buy 30 $20 patterns for 99 cents each).
When you go to a convention in the first costume you ever make yourself, there will be a 100% chance of a more experienced cosplayer in the same cosplay. And you will want to throw yours away. Don’t do it.
Muslin is your friend. It’s $1 a yard and it’ll help you figure out if the pattern your using will fit before you cut into your $10 a yard fabric.
There is nothing wrong with starting simple and starting small. Know your skill level when you start. Stay relatively inside it and you will be less frustrated and more proud of your work.
A little later, pick cosplays that have aspects you know how to do and aspects you don’t know how to do. Look up tutorials and try new things.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help, but make sure you try to help yourself first. Keep bookmarks of online tutorial and guide resources.
Don’t be afraid to start over from scratch. If you don’t like what the end product looks like don’t let the hours you spent on it force you to keep it. Rip seams. Re-do hems. Go out and buy more fabric. All the work will be worth it for a cosplay you’re proud of.
Have cosplayers you look up to, but do not try to become them. Become you.
Invest in good materials. Starting with cheap products like $5 scissors means you will have to replace them much more frequently as your experience tells you that they aren’t good enough and you need better. Get better from the start.
Don’t be afraid to cosplay alone.
Get a sewing machine with at least 5 different types of stitches on it. You may not know how to use them now but as you learn you will want them available to you.
There will always be someone who gets more attention than you for the same cosplay. Don’t let that make you bitter. Likewise, don’t let it make you power hungry.
Don’t let notes on tumblr of favorites on deviantart dictate the quality of your cosplay.
Set goals and work to achieve them, like “5 new cosplays this year” or “win something in a costume contest.”
Finally, there will come a day when you become great at cosplay. You will make all your own cosplays and even win some contests. You work hard on all your costumes and you put great effort and skill into making them detailed and perfect. And you will look at someone in a poorly made costume and a ratty wig and something deep, deep inside you, in a place you didn’t know existed, will twinge with elitism. You will not know where it comes from and you will not know how or when it got there. But fight it back. Remember where you started. Because one day that cosplayer may become great too. And they’ll have looked up to you like you looked up to others. Be a role model. Be the cosplayer you would have liked to know when you were starting out. Give back.

We’ve done it, we’ve reached the pinnacle of human evolution

can you imagine how much funding would be put towards this on a kickstarter though

IT’S A REPLICATOR!!!

I AM STILL EXCITED ABOUT THIS

why are there not more people who are excited about this

Those “you wouldn’t download a pizza” adds are not even more irrelevant than they were before.

Do you see this? This is Sweet Frog.

Now let me explain to you why Sweet Frog is the shit, alright?

It’s basically a Christian organization done right, in this time where you have assholes like Chick-Fil-A and stuff, you might walk into a Sweet Frog and see ‘Fully Rely on God’ on the wall and little Bible verses on the cups or hear their music which in some locations is just praise music and think “Oh great, bigots.” but you hold on for one second before you walk out the door.

It’s understandable that someone walking through the door would be concerned that their money may end up going toward organizations that work against gay marriage, a woman’s right to abortion, and various other things that Christian businesses are infamous for. However, Sweet Frog holds the stance that upholding Christian values means helping those around you, and that means not diminishing someone’s importance or alienating them because of race, creed, gender, sexual preference, or gender identity or any number of things, that all people deserve to be treated with respect.

When you visit Sweet Frog you can rest assured that your money will be going toward groups such as Tiger Lily Charities (a nonprofit that gives financial aid to individuals with leukemia and their families), Interfaith Outreach United (a group of businesses and groups of various faiths including Muslim, Jewish, and various branches of Christianity that work together to volunteer their time to their communities to feed the hungry, visit the sick, help the homeless, and perform random acts of kindness while simultaneously spreading understanding and tolerance at the same time), They donated money to go toward helping those in Boston after the bombings and they have donated money to raise awareness concerning the issues of human trafficking.

So next time you head into Sweet Frog to enjoy a cup of chocolate hazelnut frozen yogurt with hot fudge, cheesecake bites and reeses bits or mango berry colada with mochi and fresh fruit….. you can enjoy it knowing that you’re supporting a business that respects you and those you love.

Plus it looks adorable

It’s just all around good aww yeah

Oh man i’ve been to one of these.

They are fantastic and everyone is super friendly.

10/10 would recommend.

what a good post!!! sweet frog not only has great yogurt but EVERY staff member working there is extremely nice and helpful! plus yes they are a christian organization but they dont shove it down your throats and i think thats great.

Thu, 23 May 2013 00:01:50 -0400

1: post a selfie?

I’m wearing a frat tank so I decided to do a sorority girl post hope you don’t mind

2: do you wear makeup? what makeup do you put on?

I don’t wear makeup daily, I can’t be fucked enough to put it on if i’m being honest. However if i’m going out at night to a party or a club or a concert or something like that i’ll put on some. I wear all M.A.C., creme foundation with a powder sealer, white eyeshadow on my brown bone and lid, then print black eyeshadow on crease of my eye and under my eye, then charcoal black on the corners. Finished off with liquid liner and mascara! This is the basic formula I use for all my makeup, sometimes I change out the black for other colors like brown or blue depending on the outfit but I mainly stick with this.

3: do you prefer dark or light haired guys/ girls?

I prefer dark hair but it’s not exactly a dealbreaker.

4: what’s your favorite song at the moment?

I got The Great Gatsby soundtrack so pretty much everything on that, my favorites being A Little Party Never Killed Nobody and Young and Beautiful!

5: what was the last song you listened to?

A Little Party Never Killed Nobody haha.
