In Search Of The Ultimate Costume, Part Two, Part Two or Looking For A CosPlay Character Part 3

Konbanwa, Internet Land, and how are you all this evening? Energetic, I trust! Another late evening blog post for you all to sink your teeth into, and (for now) the finale in my trilogy about determining just who I shall go to Supanova dressed as - I'm sure that you must be champing at the proverbial bit for me to return to my usual irreverent self, and return I shall (but not before I let you know the results of all of this non-legal filibustering...)

The first selection for my costume should be, really, no surprise...Well, okay, it might be a little bit of a surprise because (technically) he was never in the running - but only due to an oversight on my own behalf...Well...actually, the option is kind of mutable...Okay, enough wank-arsing around with words. My first choice was Altair, however after Sarcastic Cookie (correctly) pointed out that Ezio is, in all actuality, cooler by a factor of three (this has been scientifically proven - well, okay it hasn't, but you almost believed me there, didn't you.)

Sorry Pops, But The People Have Spoken And I'm Just...Well...More Badass Than You

So, now one would assume (and almost rightly so) that Saturday's CosPlay costume will then be Ezio. This is not quite the case, but only because Altair and Ezio are quite similar in appearance, and if I have trouble with the Ezio costume, I can at least fall back safely on the Altair alternative. Hopefully. Unless I completely suck at making costumes. Still, we will see how it goes...

Now for the announcement that is slightly more anticipatory - not that I suspect that any of you were really on the edge of your seats over this (unless my life is significantly more thrilling than I think it is...) Before I tell you just who I will be going as on the Sunday, however, I would like you to guess. Seriously, I'll wait. Go on, make a small bet with the person next to you (and if the person next to you isn't reading my blog...well...they should be.)

Bet Bet Bet! No Bet - No Get!! If You Want To Accumulate, You Must First Speculate!!!

There we go.

Right! No More Bets Now!!!

If you thought the answer was Hayate Ayasaki then you were...sadly mistaken. No, instead I have decided to not take the easy way out, and instead go as Allen Walker - the badass exorcist from D.Gray-Man. I'm going as early series Allen, and not in weaponised form. I mean, sure, it's be awesome to have to drag a giant claw around with me all day but...wait...no it wouldn't! Anyway, the reason I picked Allen over Hayate was partially because I think Allen is just a bit more awesome, and partially because I'm fairly sure that (without Nagi, anyway) Hayate just wouldn't be that recognisable. Trust me, there is little worse than walking around having a large group of nerds going "Who is he supposed to be." These people are nerds. If anyone was going to know it would surely be they!!!

Dear Loser - Worst. Cosplay. Ever.

So anyway, the next step that I have is the planning, which will take me a fair while in order to actually do it correctly. It will, however, also correspond with the creation stage, so as I make things I'll probably post updates on here, so you can see just how it is I am faring as I try and learn to sew, and so forth (no really, I don't know how to sew, and I am being taught - I can foresee no problems at all with this...)

I Wish I Drew This :(

The moral of this story is that decision making gets much easier when you have a panel, jury, or some other kind of peer based group that have my best interests at heart...Wait, what was that? The Internet doesn't exist just to look out for me? How dare you Sir stroke Madame. I shall take my business elsewhere. Good day!
