Uhhh so hi there! I'm SuperShinn, nice to meet you all. I'm 22 years old, and fairly boring aaa. My hobbies include cosplaying, listening to fabulous boybands, watching horror movies/Letsplays, and chilling with friends (going to karaoke yesss) among other things. I'm currently one semester away from graduating from my university with a bachelors in Asian Studies and a minor in Japanese. I've been studying Japanese since high school and I've gone there for a few weeks (can't wait to go back!). Oh god I don't know what else to say. Edited by SuperShinn, Jul 24 2012, 06:50 PM.

Lies. You said quite a nice intro. Hello there, SuperShinn, nice to meet'cha! I'm less than three years younger than you, and by less I mean I'm going to be turning 20 in a couple months! :] Cosplaying!! That is AWESOME, and not boring. You are not fairly boring, new friend. D: What have you cosplayed so far and/or are planning to cosplay as? And what do you plan to do with that bachelors? :D Lastly, the typical question: vidjahgams -- which ones interest you?

I used to cosplay and go to karaoke all the time. Sometimes both at once. :3I'd like to know this as well. Also, do you go to conventions? If so, which ones have you gone to? But anyways, hey. Welcome to the forum. ;D |

Oh gosh, replies! Hello! ; v; Forgive me if my formatting in quoting isn't so great, I haven't posted on forums in a long time.
Hmmm, is it October, Mindy? =D
I've been cosplaying since 2009, and my most recent cosplays have been Homura from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Charlotte from the same anime (For our Masquerade skit!), and Ange from Umineko no Naku Koro ni! I'm currently working on an Ib cosplay!
I live in northern California, so sadly a lot of conventions like Wondercon and Yaoicon have moved to southern California, so I'm mostly limited to SacAnime in Sacramento, Fanime in San Jose and many of the smaller cons in the area. I'd love to go to Sakuracon in Washington or an East coast con, though! What cosplays have you done/cons have you gone to, Beakerette? ; v;
I plan to join the JET programme and teach English in Japan for a few years, but what I'd really like is to go on to get a masters degree and teach history! c= It's always been one of my favorite subjects.
My computer isn't really that powerful, so sadly no really cool graphics games. But I love rpgmaker indy games like To The Moon, Ao Oni, Ib, Yume Nikki, etc. I also love pokemon. Yes.
Hi Gary! Edited by SuperShinn, Jul 24 2012, 07:39 PM.

You're doing pretty good with quoting! :D But if you wanna add who the quote's from just for fancy details n' technicalities, all you have to do is add "=username" after "quote!" OHOHOHO! You were actually PRETTY darn close! September. :] Holy--WHOAH! @_@ Those are some REALLY cool cosplays you got there!! <3 I tried my hand at cosplaying before, but it's pretty time-consuming, so I sadly didn't get a lot done. :C :oooo!!! Cali buddy! :D But I'm SoCal. D: :DDDD Good luck on achieving your goals! They sound awesome! I'm actually considering dabbling with language, myself, but not Japanese. c: You'll be teaching Japanese history, I presume? To-To The Moon...;______; *I <3 the soundtrack* That thing's SO friggin' sad, and so is Ib with some of the endings. v____v Sadly, I have only played Ib of all four titles you've listed. XD The rest, including Ib, I watched Cry play. c: I'm not really that great a gamer, kinda late in jumping the...bandwagon, so to speak? xD |

I've only gone to a couple small ones that are around here in Tennessee. MTAC and GMX, mainly. There are a few others here, but I'm usually broke when they start, so.. ;-; I'd love to go to Dragon Con one time. I don't really have many outfits at all. Just a couple school girl outfits, a Alice in Wonderland dress...thing, a Lolita, an extremely old Sasuke outfit and an Arkham Asylum Harley Quinn outfit. Like I said, not much. :l |

Hello, Shinn! Welcome to the Cri an ruzz forms. here we liek 2 hav fun and talk abot gams. But. I'm not going to lie. I only read the original post; so ignore any repeated questions. What sorta things do you cosplay, Shinn? You're not one of those cosplays with a massive ego about how amazing they are, are you? You aren't? Good. We'll get along swimmingly then. Hey so. You should tell us a bit more about yourself, yeah? So what things usually fill up your free time, Shinn? If you're given the choice of pancakes, waffles, or french toast, which one do you choose? Why? What, exactly, is the function of a rubber duck? What day is your favorite day of the week? What are some things you're interested in? Why did you major in what you did? WHY, DAMNIT. I HAVE TO KNOW. Oh, and welcome once again. |

Welcome to the Forums, Shin! Those are some strikingly good cosplays! It's a shame those cons moved from your region, but a small con is better than no con, right? I'm a tidbit jealous; I've always wanted to experience a con. xD I'm usually late to enter, and they'd be packing up. Always another time. I do hope you enjoy your stay and pass along any tips of your trade! |

Wahhh thank you Mindy and Engravement for the compliments! ; v; They really made my day. Thank you for the quote tip, Mindy! I'm thinking of possibly going to ALA in SoCal this January =O I'd love to be a Japanese History professor aksdj let me tell you how Tom Cruise is not the last samurai, Saigo Takamori is! *tangent* Hopefully you can make it to a full con, Engravement, they're lots of fun! I even got my Japanese History professor at my university to cosplay as The Doctor from Doctor Who at last Fanime since he attends with his daughters. ^^ Oooh Beakerette, I know the feeling of a sad wallet when cons roll around, which is a bummer. I'd love to do an Alice inspired cosplay one of these days, and Harley Quinn sounds like a really fun costume! Do you have pictures? Sup, Kalthramis! Gams is pretty cool n' stuff. I'm still really new to cosplay, and not 'cosplay famous' by any stretch of the imagination, and I have a long way to go to improving my skills with sewing wigs and makeup! *-* So no, no ego here! I like to spend free time working on costumes, sometimes with a good horror film playing in the background. I love film suggestions and any genre of film, though! Either that, or I spend time with my buds hanging out, playin' vidjah or going to Denny's at midnight. Waffles are the best because Belgian waffles with Belgian chocolate are bangin'. Rubber ducks are made to make that weird, sad, squishy sound when you try to make them squeak in bathwater, a unique sound! My favorite day of the week is Thursday! I'm interested in language, travel, and good cups of coffee. I don't exactly know why I picked my major, I didn't find it, it found me. c= And thank you for the welcome! I hope I got everything! |

The Alice one. You can't see it all, but you get the gist of what it looks like.I kind of want to do a steampunk Alice sometime. One of the school girl outfits. I was really drunk in this picture, so the outfit is a little messy. I'm the one on the right. The Lolita. It's not the greatest ;-; I love the shoes though. A very old Sasuke one. Look at lil' ol' me on the back of a complete stranger. ;3 The hair jel quit holding up after an hour. Made me sad :l I don't have one of the second school girl, or one of the Harley Quinn.(it's not finished and I don't know when I'll finish it) Edited by Beakerette, Jul 25 2012, 05:57 AM.

I really like your Alice and school girl outfits, Beakerette! And you're right, the shoes for your lolita outfit are awesome. *-* I think a steampunk Alice would be a really nifty idea, too. Hello Sparky and Ranka! =D Do you have any ideas of who you'd want to cosplay if you had the means, Ranka? =O |

JET is pretty bloomin' legit. That's currently what I'm doing in Touhoku. If you get in, where would you like to teach? Or would you rather go the bad ass route and be a CIR? |

Hello! I think I've talked to you in the stream waaaaayyy back when we could go on those doodling sites, do you remember me? =D I hope to teach in Nagasaki, it was my favorite place when I visited Japan. Also, I have some friends in Korea, and the boat ride from Kyushu to Korea is fairly cheap for us either way to visit. Are you enjoying the Tohoku region? I haven't had a chance to see it, but from presentations and videos it seems really beautiful. |

I think the protag from Steins;Gate would be a pretty cost efficient first cosplay! But the character form Working! is really cute, too! If you need help with crossdressing makeup or anything, feel free to ask me. ^^ Makeup is one of my favorite parts of costuming, and I have a guy friend who makes the most beautiful Touhou cosplays. |

I like to go to thrift stores to hunt down some cosplay items I can use if they're common things like shirts, shoes, etc. Its a much cheaper way, even if you have to modify them a little bit (like replacing buttons or cutting parts off). And for wigs, there's a lot of nice stores online like Arda or Epiccosplay. You can also buy wigs on ebay, but be sure to check the seller's feedback. Too many that say "it's not the same as the picture" are no go's! And if you don't feel sure enough to make your own, you can usually buy full costumes on ebay or cosplayfu etc, again, just be sure to check the feedback! |
