Pretteh sure this'll be long! Maybe I should start from the beginning...or...I dunno....I usually don't do things in chronological order...XD
First off when I got there I had no clue where the registration thing was so I had to ask some old man and he was SOOO nice and he showed me the way! But then I found my friends and they took me away to it.
Then my other friends came and blah blah blah (II actually don't remember this part) and then we walked around waiting for my other friends (we arrived in random groups...O.o; ) and we ran into them and we kept doing this for a long time and then they left at liiike 2:00 or something pretty early and never stayed with the group so we never got a group picture. It kinda made me mad and I wondered why they left so early...
Lemme just talk about he pictures and that'll be easier...then maybe it'll flow...XD
(I missed a number...let's call it 1.5)
First one my friend took a picture of some guy dressed up as Luka. I didn't know he was a guy at first! TT^TT That happened a lot at the convention...so many crossdressers...wait...I was a crossdresser...O.o;
1.5 I took a picture of him in a really good pose, but the picture was really blurry and I'm sad now....>3>
2 I love their outfits! *.* So pretty! I like the girl in the white the most! Her costume was really detailed and it complemented itself really well.
4 There were two girls as this character...I don't remember who the character was, though...Somebody from Soul Calibur or something...
5&6 I just did that thing where I walk by and take a picture! XD I'm a bad photographer...
8&9 These two were trying to pose but the girl in the Akatsuki costume was too shy so they started a slap fight and it was just really funny. I like these pictures 'cause they're so fun looking. I really like the girl who cosplayed Sakura's eyes! They were practically glowing! *.*
12 I dunno what was going on but a group of people were just pointing on a stage for a long time...I just took this as I walked outside.
13 I like this picture! She did a good job on the expression! She said it was hard to hold, though.
14 First picture of another cosplayer! I just walked out of the registration room to take a picture of her.
15 I just realized when I looked back this picture that I wasn't allowed to take this picture. We weren't allowed to take a pictures in the hallway and I took this in the hallway! XD The many scolded my friend for taking pictures, though...>3>
1 I would say this is by far my best picture that I took at the convention! It's another one of those walk by pictures. We just came back from lunch and jumped out of the car when I took the picture! XD
2 I had to get this picture! >:D Yes! A Trucy Wright!
3 I just thought this looked funny! XD The Ghostbusters group cosplayers standing in front a blood mobile! XD
4 Nostalgia Critic! This isn't the real guy, but he did a really convincing job on him! XD When I asked to take his picture he told his friend 'Yes! See! Told you they would know me!' XD I took this at my friends' hotel (I also took pictures of the hotel, I'll show it in this post).
5 My friends~! They're twins if you can't tell...O.O My friend who was dressed up as Kaito and I got a ton of hugs and pictures! XD We felt famous! XD
6 I dunno what they're cosplaying as, but it looks really cool. I like the poses they were in for this picture.
7 My friends who left early. They bought their costumes.
8 These people I danced with for a while. I took a picture of them doing the Hare Hare Yukai.
9 Will of the Abyss....or something...I don't remember her name...but my friend and I just called her Alice 'cause she basically is Alice, y'know, y'know. She did a great job on her cosplay.
10&11 These were actually in the same picture, but they were spaced far apart from eachother so I just split them apart. I don't think I would ever have the confidence to wear what they're wearing...
12 A close up of the people dressed up in that pointing thing. I actually just wanted to get the girl dressed up a Panda Hero Gumi! XD I like the other cosplayers in the picture, too.
1 Power Rangers! They were some of my favourite cosplayers there! I just love the Power Rangers! They just seem so energetic even if the people under them aren't in that kind of mood! XD They won something in the cosplay contest. I wanted to take picture in the cosplay contest, but it was took dark and far away so the pictures were really bad. There was this one guy who could barely walk but it was AMAZING! He was dressed at a Big Daddy from Bioshock and it looked EXACTLY like one! He had a moving drill on his arm (not a real one, but it was moving! XD) and lights on his helmet thingy, it was crazy! And this girl always who could barely walk cosplayed some character from World of Warcraft and she had all this armor looking stuff on! It was amazing! O.O
The cosplay contest was really interesting and the audience was fun, but it was kinda sad 'cause they'd announce who so-and-so is cosplaying and the crowd would erupt with cheers and then when they went on they all stopped cheering...>3>
2 My friend cosplaying Zatsune!
3 My other friend cosplaying Meiko. She kept saying that her costume was really bad, but I think she did an AWESOME job on it! And the reason why a lot of the pictures have their heads cut of or just certain parts of their body cut off is because I'm very short and can't get the camera over them...>3>
4 My other friend cosplay Yuki Kaai~! She is sweet and innocent like Yuki, but it's kinda funny that she's cosplaying her since she's the tallest one in the group...XD
5 Those guys again! My friends along with these guys did Love and Joy twice together. A lot of people took pictures of us doing that and filmed us doing that...XD I did some other dances with them, but none of us could remember them so we didn't do a very good job...>3> Later when I waiting in line for something a bunch of people were saying 'Hey, you were that person dancing'...XD Completely forgot about people watching me dance! XD
6 Traded picture taking! XD They took my picture and in turn I took a picture of them! XD I'm amazed that she can carry that plate of stuff around all day! O.O
7 Taking pictures of merchandise! XD Lots of Hangry&Angry stuff. It's like everyone forgot who they were and they're not Hangry&Angry not Yossy&Rika...XD Or nobody knew who they were originally....O.o;
8 Cute merchandise~! X3
7 I actually don't remember taking this picture...O.o;
11 It's very blurry, but I like how it looks. It's like misty blurry not painful blurry! *.*
12 I really like this picture 'cause of the cute merchandise and the Takeru magazine! XD
13 Lotsa Pocky! XD
14 I could've sworn a took a picture of the twins together...this was in the game room and the Len cosplayer was watching somebody play some dancing game...XD
1 PEDOBEAR~! :D My friends were taking a picture with him along with a Black Rock Shooter cosplayer! XD
2 My friends waving to me as they go in some Chacha line thingy...
3 Another picture of it as it went by. It was REALLY REALLY long! My friend and I were trying to get into the game room but there was like this endlessly long chacha line thingy...my friends are apparently the culprits of creating such a long line with some song. They said they went all over the convention site and they did it for hours...
4 Another crossdresser as Reimu. He was dancing and handing out candy the entire convention time. I couldn't get far enough away to take a picture of his whole cosplay. ONLY TOUHOU COSPLAYER...it was depressing...And there was some girl dressed as Kula Diamond who I really wanted to get a picture of but some girl hugged me and then I lost track of where she was and I never found her again...it was so weird how she disappeared like that...maybe she went back outside or something...O.o;
5 My friend dressed as Kaito changed for the rave. She looks like somebody from Gorrilaz! Which, by the way, there were a bunch of cosplayers of! It took me a while to figure out who a bunch of these guys were cosplaying as, they has spiky black hair and a plaid shirt on of the same colour so after seeing about 3 of them I realized they were probably cosplaying something! XD There were also a lot of L's (which I thought they were cosplaying as). There was this one guy walking through the hallway (I couldn't take a picture because of this) sucking on a lollipop EXACTLY like L! And his posture was EXACTLY like L and it was a comfortable posture, not like it was forced like most L cosplayers do...it was just unusual looking...O.o;
6 A REALLY good Gakupo cosplayer! I really like her pose in the picture! Her outfit was detailed and her wig was so pretty!
7 She was in the artist's alley. I really really liked her outfit so I had to take a picture of her! I wanted to commission her but I ran out of money...by buying only a few things...>3> Sad part is that I commissioned somebody I already had before (without knowing) and their art wasn't as good as hers...>3>
8 Picture of what it looks like outside. At night there was some Parapara performance and a bunch of people were sitting on their balconies watching.
9 Really awesome cosplay! But, crap...I forgot who this was! TT^TT Was it somebody from Versaille? That outfit has always stood out to me, I've always REALLY REALLY liked it! *.*
10 Another picture with PedoBear. My friends posed this time! XD
11 A random picture I took of my friend while were just sitting. We were sitting in the corner eating Mochi. It was VERY VERY good and interesting! I like how gooey it was~! X3 I kept my watch on The Suzan who were sitting at the table near us just so I knew when the concert would start...but I missed it anyways...>3> That's okay, I didn't really want to have my first concert with them. But it was so weird that they were just walking around normally and nobody said anything! My friend did make a comment about there being an old lady and I was like 'That's not an old lady! That's one of The Suzan members!' XD So different compared to how it was with Quaff. Somebody took a picture of my friends and I in front of their table and I was worried we would get in trouble for doing that! XD But still nobody knew who they were...that's so sad...
12 I think a bit of The Suzan was in this picture, but I cut them out. I saw Turnip Head jumping around the room so I had to take a picture of them! I like how they did it, too! X3
13 Meowth and Charizard gijinka cosplayers! They looked really cool! My friend said that we should've done a gijinka group cosplay or something when she saw this! XD
My friend kept making suggests for what we should dress up as next year. She wants to do steam punk and I want to do Ciel. I want to do Ciel sooo bad! I just dream about wearing clothes like his! *.*
I don't have any pictures of myself 'cause I forgot to take pictures of myself...>3> But a lot of people took pictures of me, so maybe I could find some of them on the internet...*searches*
Also! I just learned that there's two MTACs! XD I keep getting results for another convention whenever I search for MTAC stuff...O.o;
During the Cosplay Contest the chairman of MTAC or something went on stage to tell us about next year's MTAC and he said 'y'know what, I like Easter, let's keep it that way' and then a bunch of people in the audience yelled 'NOO!!!' XD It really is a terrible time to do a convention...Don't do conventions on holidays!
My friends' hotel was AMAZING! I took picture of the lobby from their room:
It had a piano down there with waterfalls and a pond thingy! it was amazing! O.O It was apparently 'the overflow' so most of the con goers roomed there...except...most of the people in my group...>3>
I bought only 3 things! I bought a drink thingy....I dunno it just tastes good...XD And I bought a (AMAZING) magazine 'half-price' even though $12.50 for a magazine it PRETTEH expensive...but it was imported...sooo...And I commissioned somebody...but I think I should've have done that since she had really high prices and not so great artwork...>3> I mean, it's good, but for those prices...plus I have already commissioned her before (I still have her e-mail...XD)
The magazine is basically a boy band magazine, which was all they had in the room I was in (I didn't know there was another shop room! O.O), but it's fine. It has lots of pictures of Tomohisa Yamashita...and I am just TIRED OF THAT GUY! BLARGH! He needs a haircut, too. His hair now brings out his eyes...in a bad way...all I see are puffy eyes and a look as if he hasn't showered and is very oilly. I liked his hair when it was all fluffy looking! >:3 But it has lots of fashion kinds of pictures of boy bands and it's very helpful in drawing guys and designing clothes for them. It's a good thing I didn't buy a visual kei magazine, despite one of them having Takeru on it...and even though those were cheaper...feh...I don't think I should've commission...blarglefragin...But looked at visual kei boys all of them time makes me draw some...out there designs for boys clothing that I doubt they'd want to wear...XD
But it helps with MaxP stuff. There's also some AKB48 in it. WHY IS AKB48 SO POPULAR?! Well...actually...I know several answers to that...but I feel like all japanese idol magazines are required to have something about AKB48 since I haven't found many without something about AKB48 or Hey!Say!JUMP in it...>3>
I talked to a lot of random people about random things. They were all very nice people~! Except this one guy at the Cosplay Convention who kept showing me his pictures and yelling at the people on stage about how they messed up on their costumes or something...it was very rude.
I went to the rave, too. I was too tired to fully enjoy it and I was carrying a bunch of bags so I could barely dance. We kept trying to get in a chacha line kind of thing, but it kept breaking up so we gave up and started dancing together and some random people came dancing with us. This one big guy was dancing REALLY crazy and by crazy I mean CRAZY, not good, CRAZY. He was kicking his leg around and going all over the place and a bunch of people backed away from him from fear of getting kicked! TT^TT
...What to talk about now...?
It was really fun getting all that attention! XD One of my friends said that my wig looked almost real...which...is very hard to believe, but I think she meant that it look clean 'cause I combed it a bunch before coming. But then it gradually got worse as the con progressed! XD
I kinda feel like next year I want to do commissions or something...Hrmm...I dunno...maybe I would be too young...
I just saw some of the artists drawing at their tables and I just thought to myself 'I could do that...I don't even go to the panels, I just go shopping'...I would probably go to a concert or go shopping, but not really that much stuff. Plus I could spend my money on the con stuff! XD
I ran out of stuff to say...I want to go look at my magazine...byebye!
