Re: Con stories!
Guy: So who are you dressed as?
Me: Celes, from Final Fantasy 6.
Guy: Oh, that game was great! But I don't remember her looking like you.
Me: *laughs* Yeah, I'm doing the Amano design, the in-game sprite was pretty different.
Guy: No, I mean - I don't remember her being as HOT as you.
Me: ...Thanks...
And he kept asking me personal questions after that, and touching my arm, and my side, and eventually my thigh, so I decided to give up on Rock Band for awhile. "Oh hey, I was supposed to meet my friend for a shoot - seeya! *runs off*" :P
At that same con though, I met another guy who was cosplaying the Amano version of Locke, who was really funny, and we took some pictures together by the fountain that came out HORRIBLY because the wind was blowing and cold water was falling on us and we were grimacing at it and stuff, hahahah. We were tagged in Facebook later and I was like "LOLOLOL WHAT WERE WE DOING?!" And he has this whole circle of friends who also enjoy cosplaying older FF games, and I've gradually been introduced to so many awesome people through randomly indulging the "Hey Celes, let's get up on the fountain!" whim. XD
I also had my girlfriend there as Locke, but she'd wandered off during that photoshoot (talking to a DS version FF4 Cecil, hahah), but the next day we were in the costumes again and discovered that in the con's big "chill out and have some relaxing activities" room, there was randomly an FF6 world map on the floor that people were encouraged to write their names on and sort of claim their home or something. So we have a picture of Locke and Celes sitting together on the world map!
I have SOOOO many con stories. Mostly really fun ones. The cringe-worthy ones, for the record, aside from this and a couple Tiger & Bunny anecdotes, are almost entirely involving Homestuck and Hetalia cosplayers, which is why I instinctively steer clear of those fandoms unless it's someone I already know to be cool who just happens to enjoy the canon in spite of the fandoms being cesspools. :P
Re: Con stories!
(Anonymous) 2013-11-24 02:48 am (UTC)(link)This also reminded me that I've totally been debating the logistics of cosplaying Kain. Or at least, a FF dragoon. Considering I have never cosplayed, this would be next to impossible. :P
Re: Con stories!
(But since I pulled it off and I am proud of it, here, have some pics. XD Though you probably meant of the FF6... Here's one of me with my own Locke. You don't sound like a creeper - cosplayers generally like showing off! At least to other fans. Random fanboys who don't know what we're cosplaying and are behaving inappropriately - it's not for them. :P)

(Anonymous) 2013-11-25 12:50 am (UTC)(link)The Locke and Celes one is gorgeous too. :) Thanks for sharing these, I've missed geeking out about Final Fantasy, haha.
