I don't think I'm going to cosplay Watari, next summer. There are, all of a sudden, 348239048134890320 Watari cosplayers, now. I, unfortunately, have met a few of them. Quite a few of them are pretty much not in touch with reality whatsoever, and not even in a mild way, more of a "why aren't they on medications?" way. I wish I was joking. Besides,

Fuck 'em all.

I've been cosplaying Watari since Yaoi-Con 2002, and while I'm nowhere near the best Watari out there, I don't care. I identify with Watari more than any other anime character -- hell, more than any other fictional character -- and I wear the costume because it's fun, not because I give a shit what other people think.

(Granted, I got pissed off at YnM fandom way back in September 2003 when they pulled some serious shit on two very close friends of mine amd ruined the fandom for them, hence my current disconnect from the fandom. I enjoy it from a distance, but it hurts too much to try to get any closer and participate. This doesn't change the fact that you should cosplay whomever the hell you want -- especially Watari, who I think you could do worlds better than the 85036854567868568568 closet cosplayers out there. But that's coming from a ghetto Watari cosplayer herself, so take it as you will. ^^;)

You, julewooster, nightangelca, and Astro on GJ are probably some of the nicest people I've met in the YnM fandom. (There's a new girl I met, too, that is also a YnM fan who is also very nice.) But it seems like all of these other fans all have their fan clique and anyone else that wants to join them, no matter how nice they are, are treated like shit. It upsets me, along with people who are like "OMG this person is the greatest cosplayer EVAR!" and they're just elitest bastards who wouldn't be able to find their ass with both hands.

I just hate doing shit alone, sometimes, when I feel something (like a con) should be about meeting new people and having a good time. I just have a feeling that if I went, I'd have like 99% of all these people turning their noses up at me. (Then again, knowing me, if anything too serious would happen, I'd surely get thrown out for starting a fist fight. I'm not really good with rude people... they're the type that provoke my rare and hardly ever seen violent side.) I just wish people were as nice as you five. Oh! And chiharu_octavia as

Oh yeah, and nossarniel... no idea how I forgot about her, she's terribly nice, as well. (She likes Watari more than anyone I know.) I figured that was worth an addition.

You see, that is why you DO cosplay as Watari, with the aim of being the BEST WATARI COSPLAYER EVER.

...I think that I watch too much anime. >.<;;

But really -- if cosplaying as the character makes you happy, to hell with the lot of them. I was in a delicious mood on Halloween from just hanging around my room in my Tenpou clothes. Besides, wouldn't cosplaying as Watari be like having a license to harass? You know, just being friendly and asking if people would like to try some of your absolutey-not-tampered-with-why-would-you-think-something-like-that baked goods? No sitting in the corner for you, pal! ~_^ (Meanwhile, Tenpou would just have my nose glued to a book. Not that I'd mind that, but I doubt it would be getting one's money's worth out of a con to do that...)

By the by, which con are you planning on potentially going to? I'm trying to familiarize myself with the stuff that goes on so that I can eventually make it to one.

I'm still not sure. I rely on others for times and dates of things, and usually I have no problem with "OH! It's tomorrow." *picks up and goes* I have a thing for doing everything at last minute (or last second, at times). Some people just can't stand doing things totally unplanned. I live off of it. (Besides, my whole life has been pick up and go. Ask me my address, I have three of them... all of which you can get a response from me at. It used to be 4-6 addresses, a couple of years ago

Oi, Zee-sempai! *Is kazutakasensei* My accounts got haxx0rz'd so I thought I'd let you know why there's a stranger adding you. Plus, we haven't talked for a reeeaaaaally long time. I think you should still dress up like Watari and be the best of the best! I have no idea when I'm going to get to go to a con or exactly who I'll be dressing as. If we could it'd be awesome to meet up with you at one. I'd hang out with you all day, fo sho!

Addy me on yahell, too. Screen name's the same as this one.
