Quick Doodles: What Do I Do Now?

Now is a dangerous time for me. My costume for both San Japan and Nan Desu Kan is done. I have nothing to do. And I can’t do anything right now, for the sake of a) my wallet and b) the fact that I’m moving back up to school in a week (which is why I’m using the same costume for two conventions.)

This is dangerous because I really, really want to make a costume right now. So I’ll tell myself, ‘okay, maybe I’ll feel better if I do something like put together a supplies list and leave it at that.’ Which never works.

So next, I’ll latch onto some other character and start seriously considering cosplaying him or her. And I’ll tell myself, okay, give it three days. If you still feel this way in three days, then maybe…

And of course, I do. So I’ll tell myself, ‘well, we’re just going to read the entire series, watch the anime and the OVA, until you stumble across something you hate about this character so you can get this out of your system.’

Because there’s no way that works, I then go off in search of another series to fixate on, one specifically chosen with the idea that I won’t find someone I want to cosplay in it. And surprise, not only have I found my New Favorite Series (OMG optional), I’ve found someone I want to cosplay.

Can the English version of Dissidia please come out already?

Looking for something?


My name is greyrondo. I've been a cosplayer since Fall 2006, and I've noticed that the best conversations I have with cosplayers usually involve the question, 'so how DID you do that?'

So after studying costuming and making a closet's worth of costumes, that's what I'd like to help answer. Drop in and stay awhile whether you're a cosplayer or just a curious spectator; one of my musings is bound to be what you're looking for.

If you have a question or something to say, leave a comment or contact me! I don't bite, I promise.
