So clearly both Malik and I were
up all night... working... the night before SOY. Which, in my opinion, was all kinds of fun and wonderful, because of the people I was with. ♥ I would have made this post earlier, but (1) index finger was in
actual pain from the trigger-happy camera-joy of yesterday, and (2) everything that was captured on film on my camera yesterday? Total filesize? Nearly 1 GB (of which a disturbing number are of Malik, why?). So, no pictures yet, but I just wanted to record the BEST MOMENTS because they were that awesome.
best moments of my soy experience 1.
Shizuka, clearly, who is the best little sister in all the world. I think I've always wanted a sister, so yesterday? SO GREAT.
This made me smile so much, too. ♥ I got to meet her and we went to the event together, which meant that there was singing!Jounouchi (on the Beauty World soundtrack) and YGO manga all the way down to the event venue. ♥
2. Helping with Malik's costume. And makeup. Is not prettiest Egyptian princess for nothing. Inner!me was
having so much fun. Also I have a new appreciation for both
ariesdraco and Malik's costume. I had
no idea his outfit was made up of
so many parts before yesterday.
omg.
3. Getting to watch Kaiba apologise to Malik. "BEFORE YOU KILL ME PLEASE LISTEN TO MY EXPLANATION." If it hadn't been so heartrending I probably would have laughed.
4. CHILDREN'S CARD GAMES. Because no YGO cosplay is complete without one! (Don't really understand why people started taking photographs when we did that. HAVE THEY NOT SEEN CHILDREN'S CARD GAMES PLAYED BEFORE.)
And when we started playing penalty games (because there is a savage and vicious version of a local card game which
is in fact a penalty game), Malik beat Yuugi.
Twice.
6. Magically acquiring a Yuugi halfway through.
7. And discovering that not only do we
both ship Jounouchi/Yuugi
and Yami/Kaiba, but we ALSO ship Gokudera/Tsuna. This led to much JOY AND HIGH-FIVING. And to think that I thought our pairings would never coincide because when I first met her, she was into Axel/Roxas! *GRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN*
8. Singing with Malik. ♫
Malik more musically gifted than me. That is okay, because we can sing the same songs.
Also, a local library
has the score of the YGO movie. I really will borrow it one day, for the WTF value.
9. Meeting YGO fans who'd been into the series for
years! Seriously, years! AMAZING. ♥ A nice person asked if she could borrow the Millenium Puzzle and I went :D "Of course!" despite it not being canonically mine to give away, but it was so fun. ♥
10. GETTING TO CELEBRATE
atorii's birthday - IN COSTUME. ♥
11. Kisara forgot the puppy ears and tail. IT MADE ME SO HAPPY. ♥
scariest moments of my soy experience 1. ... how the costume made not only my IQ points drop, but also made me hungrier than I can ever remember being at any event. I
swear. The costume made me stupid. Even wearing
part of it made me get on the wrong train and
stay on it for three stops before I realised something was wrong. And when I literally couldn't say no to any food that was offered to me when I was wearing it, I just knew that something was UP.
2.
being badtouched by Kisara. NO WONDER KAIBA LOVED YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE JUST AS SCARY AS HIM. And also because anything that looks so pretty and demure and lovely should not be SO SCARY to meeeeeeeeeeeee.
3. the ears. and how I sometimes forgot I was wearing them.
Malik's outfit is also extremely hot.
And Axel/Roxas is adorableEdited at 2008-01-27 05:03 pm (UTC)
That tiny!Malik icon of yours is so cute. It always makes me go *MELT* in a major way when I see it.
IT IS INCREDIBLY HOT. And I don't just mean under the tropical sun. *grin* Although I do think it is Malik doing 80% of the work to make that costume look that great. I mean! Lilac! And gold chains! Do not ordinarily a fabulous outfit make. But they look good on him.
I know you think so! And I am REALLY glad for AkiHika for finally giving me a pairing I can love wholeheartedly along with you.OH AND this weekend, I was talking to a friend while we were spending time with another friend's husky:
Me: "I didn't know you loved dogs so much." *grin*
Her: "I love all animals."
Me: "You do?"
Her: "Yes, and I wanted to be a vet when I was younger."
Me: "But you really love all animals?"
Her: "Yes. I'm fond of snakes."
Me: "... do you also like Steve Irwin?"
SORRY I'M A DORK
Malik is freaking adorable. I want one.
They look good on him because he has tan skin and white hair and purple eyes.
GO GO GARY STU- I MEANYOU LOVE OTHER PAIRINGS WITH ME. LIKE WOLFRAM/YUURI. AND D/LEON. YOU KNOW YOU DO. DON'T LIE.She had better have said yes. MY HEEEEEEEEEEEEEERO
You cosplayed Jou-kun? xDD YAY! Do I get to see the pictures or should I bring bribe next time I see you?
YOU HAVE CHILDREN'S CARD GAMES! Tell me more about this~! (I just found ALL of my Pokémon cards again this afternoon! ♥)
I really want to see the millenium puzzle...? xD I BET IT IS SO COOL!
But yes, sweetheart, you get to see pictures! And you don't need to bribe me! ♥
(I did the series 0 colour version, which is why it is BRILLIANT YELLOW)
there you go!
They really were children's card games! Easy, simple, fun, and as many people as you want can play it! *beams*
OH AND HEY SWEETIE LOOKIT this Millenium Puzzle game!
... would you hit me if I said you could cosplay Yuugi next time? xD I mean, he is LESS TALL and you're even genkier than he is. *laughs!* YOU COULD EVEN USE THE PUZZLE AGAIN!
I still want a picture of Jou's face, though. T.T
WHAT YOU SHOWED ME IS A CLOSE-UP OF JOU FONDLING YUUGI'S PUZZLE. OMG. Jou/Yami. ♥
Oooh~! I really like the puzzle! *___*! I bet you won't share any of your puzzle-making!secrets, but it looks fragile? No wonder you were up so long making it~! xD It turned out really cool!
YAY! CHILDREN'S CARD GAMES! I guess this means you'll be taking Jou's deck..? xD I still can't believe I found Jou's and Yuugi's deck for $1.25 each. *beams!*
Hee~! I found our (regular) UNO game today as well... I love playing UNO on the train. *grin!* I put it in the "keep" pile. ;)
Tell me when you've downloaded it so I can remove it :)
I'm glad we were able to hang out in person! (There's always a limit to what you can do via internet, it's much more enthusiastic when we're all together! ^^)
You are the besterest nii-chan in the world, I swear now I truly know what its like to have an older brother! ^0^
I do hope we'll have a shoot in the future!
-Mailk was clearly held together by tape. I srsly lol-ed to myself(and everyone at home thought I was crazy) when that thought popped into my head.
-I guess people found us interesting cos' Yugioh cosplayers were not in a serious game of dueling monsters, but screaming UNO! and scolding Malik for his crazy winning streak as he had magnificent fengshui under the fan, and next to his rod.
-When Yuugi and you realised that you had so many fandoms in common, both of you went all sparkly eyes fangurl mode and held each others hands in joy. Malik stoned for a while, and then decided that him and I should form a crack!youngersiblingship and we went all sparkly eye-d.
- I totally forgot about the ears too. After a picture I was all 'Oh crap, I forgot to take the ears off.'
I CAN'T WAIT FOR US TO GO ALL SIMONxNIA and MUKUROxCHROME.
^0^
... I came at five. Maybe that's why. orz
