Katsucon!!

3 min read
Sorry guys. As always I suck at updating journals. But here I am once again to fix that!

Haven't really been active on here with my cosplay stuff so much as my Tumblr. So for the most part if you wanna see most of my cosplay shenannigans just check them over there

And as far as updates go, life has been pretty good. I'm in my final year of college and I'm graduating come May. So assignments assignments assignments. Too much work and senioritis is kicking my ass hardcore. BUT THERE IS COSPLAY WORK TO BE DONE!!

Next con coming up is Katsucon!! in Baltimore, Maryland.

Ive been so excited for this con for such a long time cause I get to see all my friends that are out of state and I barely get to see now. And here's the lineup:

Friday: Winter Prince Jack Frost
Saturday: Eren Jaeger
Sunday: maaaaaybe Fantasystuck?

On Friday I'm cosplay with :iconcult-clueless: as my Pitch Black and we're also gonna have :iconruet-beer: as Hiccup, :iconneveralonecosplay: as Astrid, QuinzyCosplay as Elsa, and finally my boyfriend, Air, as Anna. We got ourselves a bunch of animated movie characters this time. So I'm sure that day will be full of excitement and fun fun!!

On Saturday I'm going to be Eren Jaeger with a big group. I believe we have everyone along with some titans here and there. That's gonna be an all day cosplay seeing as we are all working out butts off trying to get the 3DMG done. I know Quinzy, Air and I have been pulling 4am nights trying to get it done and I'm sure all of our other friends are working just as hard. I'm really happy with how its all coming out. I'm sure plenty of pictures are gonna go up.

Sunday is still pretty up in the air. If I feel good in Eren on Saturday and I like how the gear sits and all that then I might just wear that again. But I'll bring Fantasystuck Dave just in case I want to switch it up a bit and wear something different. Sunday will be a relaxing day for the most part honestly.

If any of you are going to Katsucon, don't be afraid to say hello if you see me!! I'm sure we'll have fabulous Katsu stories to tell and we can hang out.
------------------------------
But after Katsu, I get no breaks. 
Anime Boston will be fast approaching right after that and I have a skit cosplay to put together.

That's right friends, once again I was able to get accepted in the Anime Boston Masquerade which I am super happy about!

My group of Me, Air, QuinzyCosplay, and :iconruet-beer: are going to be doing a Angelic Layer skit so we gotta work hard and practice forever!!
I'm sure that will be just as stressful as Katsu but I know we'll be able to get it done. 

but that's it for now on news and upcoming events for the short run. I'm sure as things get updated and I know what I'm doing myself I'll update. but I hope I see you guys at cons and maybe actually put some stuff up.

Till then,
Later~

I warned you guys that I wasn't good at the whole updating my journal thing. But low and behold, it's happening now~ 

Alright so as I'm sure many of you know I went to Katsucon at the beginning of the year. It was hella fun, so many amazing costumes and wonderful things!! It was the first con I spent with my boyfriend :iconruet-beer: and we had tons of fun. Oh yes, up to date, as of December I am dating Rue, not sure if that's important but you'll be seeing lots of us together so I figured I'd let all you know) That's definitely a con that I will be going to from now on. It was so beautiful and I got to meet so many new people and amazing cosplayers 10/10 would do again.

And Anime Boston was also AMAZING!! I've uploaded some pics so far but I still got plenty that are going to go up over time. I met some of you at the con and let me tell you, it was a pleasure meeting you all. I'm glad you were able to have as much fun as I did! 

And :iconthephoenixquartet: performed in the Masquerade again. If you want to check out the skit you can go see it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-ufU2…
It makes me estactic to know that the audience loved it and so did the judges. We were able to go home with two judges awards and the 1st Place Master's Performance trophy. It definitely makes performing worth it when the audience enjoys it as much as you do, so I wanna thank anyone who was in the audience and cheered for us. It is such a confidence booster and a good feeling when people enjoy what you do.

And if anyone wanted to do us a solid and go like our like page or check out some of the stuff we got there, I'll post a link just in case: www.facebook.com/ThePhoenixQua…
---------------------------------------

Now for upcoming plans. I've got sooooooooooo many cons planned and hopefully I'll see some of you there!!
First up is:

Connecticon!
During this con I will be cosplaying Jack Frost with my Big Four group!! I'm really really excited for this one because the Big Four just gives me lots and lots of emotions. All my really great and close friends are going to be with me so I doubt there will be any time when I'm not having fun. 

On Sunday I'm going to be cosplaying DaveJohn with :iconruet-beer: so I'm sure we'll get tons of pictures there too!
And once again, Connecticon is in Hartford, CT so if anyone is going or is planning to go, definitely find me so we can chat and say hello!

Metrocon!
This will be a first con for me down in Florida. During Katsucon I met a lot of cool friend and they invited me to go hang out at this con with them. And so I will be going. This con is July 26-28 in Tampa, FL and hopefully I'll see all my southern babus down there. It's the first time I've been so far away for a con so I hope all you guys are nice, as I'm sure you are. 

For this con I'm doing Fantasystuck Dave mookie000.tumblr.com/post/1506… (by :iconanimegirl000:, Fancy God Tier Dave synnesai.tumblr.com/post/29072… (by :iconsynnesai:), Derse Dreamer Dave and Marshall Lee. WOO! Lots of Homestuck but totally worth it. I just hope I can get it all done in time. Crunching big time!

Otakon!
Right after Metro gotta head to Otakon in Maryland! I'm really excited for this one also cause I've never been but I heard really good things. Hopefully, cause this is a big con, I'll see lots more people who wanna say hi! I'm going to be at this con with my group though I believe we're not cosplaying together. That's alright though cause we want to have fun!

At this con I'm probably gonna rewear lots of what I had at Metrocon cause I can't overpack my suitcase, but I'm also doing Simon from Gurren Laggan with a group. Lots of excitement with that one because I love that show a lot. Ahhhh.

Another Anime Con!
This con is later on in the year, and it's in Manchester, NH! This is a mandatory con cause it was one of the first one's that I really met the people who I call close friends now. It's a small con but you basically get to meet everyone and meet some great people. 

I know for this one I'm bringing Winter Prince Jack Frost the-guardian-of-fun.tumblr.com… (by the-guardian-of-fun.tumblr.com) and Gavin Free in his Creeper form and  I may rewear other costumes from other cons but this convention is up in the air so far. But still!! I want to see all you peeps there!
---------------------------------------------

So that was all conventions and such planned. Ugh!! So many this year. It's nuts!! But it's always worth it in the end cause they're so much fun.

And of course at the very end of the year, I will being going to the Boston Ice Skating events. And I have a secret cosplay planned with :iconruet-beer: and :iconforeveralonecosplay:. I'm super excited!! 

But that's all I can really think about filling you guys in with for now. Until next time
I hope its not another year till the next time hahaaaaa

Later,

Sorry about that, but it seems that when it comes to writing things down, I'm not patient enough.

But okay! Update. Happening. In this journal. Right now. As we speak....right now....


Connecticon was tons of fun! Met so many people and it really was a pleasure to speak to all of you I met. I'm sorry if i couldn't stay to chat for too long, but my attention was wanted everywhere and I'm sorry but the clones aren't done yet. XD

Oh and just wanted to let you guys know that the night before the con I did a 48 hour whole work day. That's when the Gil coat was made...not to bad...but not great. :iconelaroh: and I almost died a few times driving to :iconrathcosplay:'s house cause we were gonna fall asleep, but as you see, we're okay

As you see from the pictures we had tons of photoshoots and so much fun with our friends. Thursday night I went the the formal dance/rave as Four aces Dave and let me tell you, no one wasn't dancing under my watch XD. The rest of the cons I went to the raves and danced with the little cutie named Hailey. Don't know if she has a deviantart but it was such a pleasure to dance with her.

Went to a few homestuck shoots on Friday and we bonded with ALL the Homestucks. I think our Ancestor outfits looked amazing. Sad to say we were like the only ancestor group. But that's okay. But Homestucks in general, there were so many. Also, I got to hang out with :iconthebreakmeister:, :iconmortson: and :iconlindzar:. Needless to say, we touched butts. Many times.

Saturday we did Pandora Hearts and we took amazing pics at this big castle looking place that was in a park right across from our hotel. It was so gorgeous!! And fit perfect for Pandora Hearts. We spent most of this day trying to find a place to practice for the Masq. which was impossible because there were so may people! But we practiced and got it down and we performed beautifully. But this time we got a Judges Award, but that's okay. There was some controversial things happening with the judging so we ain't even mad.

Sunday was the wind down day with Vampire Knight, but we still got awesome pics in thanks to :icongingyrage:, our amazing photographer. This was mainly the day when we said bye to everyone but then again we still got some fans to say hi! We had a little controversial incident happen when a cosplayer harrassed us and assaulted us, banging our heads together, but we left that area...quick.

After that, we just headed to :iconrathcosplay:'s house and stayed the night cause there was a storm. But went home the following day.
--------------------------------
So that con was fun. It was a bit unorganized this year and I didn't like how they did some things so next year, :iconthephoenixquartet: and I are gonna go to Otakon. So that's my plan for next year!!

As far as daily life news, I'm starting on my AAC cosplays already. Here's my lineup:

Friday Morning: Dirk Strider with :iconrathcosplay: as my Jake English (Homstuck)
Friday Rest of Day: Magicastuck Dave Strider magicastuck.tumblr.com/post/16… (Homestuck)
Draganfly Dance: If Magicastuck isn't fancy enough then Four Aces Dave Strider(Homestuck)
Saturday: Cheshire(Pandora Hearts) performing in the Masq with Rath
Sunday: Either Dirk Strider or God Tier Dave Strider. If I do God Tier, I'm gonna do a Space and Time shoot with :iconpaco-teh-Taco as my Jade Harley (Homestuck)

So this is basically my Homestuck con XD
And my friends are going so that should be tons of fun. Party hard whoo!!
---------------------------------
Expect some new pictures soon because I'm suppose to be doing a shoot with :icongingyrage: this upcoming week. And I'm very excited. It's been too long.

So that's it for now guys. Ta Ta for now~

And I totally just realized this. However, you know how you have to be in a mood to type in order to write a huge journal like that?

Totally not in the mindset right now. Wow.

But I will right it soon. Promise!
But just know that it was tons of fun and we won Best Overall Performance in the Masquerade!! :iconflowerdanceplz:

You can view it here if you want--> youtu.be/uUU8iXo0ztk

Until next time everyone,
I love your faces!

Surprise Surprise!!!
Oy vey, we just can't make up our minds can we??? But because of difficulty finding songs for a skit, and having some problems with group members, ThePhoenixQuartet has finally decided what the hell we want to do for Anime Boston. Here is the lineup!! Hopefully for the last time:

Thursday: God Tier Dave Strider (Homestuck)
Friday: Takashi Komuro (High School of the Dead)
Saturday: Zero Kiryu (Vampire Knight)
Sunday: God Tier Dave Strider (Homestuck)

And there it is!!! We will be doing Vampire Knight on Saturday. But I don't want you guys to think that we didn't take our poll results into consideration! For the most part, we took the top 5 and thought about which one would have the potential for an amazing skit. With the members that are participating, we needed three main characters which both Kingdom Hearts and Vampire Knight had. And we also took into consideration what songs/plot could be used in our skit. And in this part, Vampire Knight came out on top.

So these are the characters that we have:

Yuuki Kuran- Elaroh
Zero Kiryu- Gemiblu
Kaname Kuran- RathCosplay

Hopefully our skit will look really cool. It's going to be an action packed, dance skit with lots of movement and drama! I'll let you know if there is going to be any other changes!!
--------------------------------------------------
Okay now to feature someone, since I didn't in my last journal (shame on me). So I don't know if you guys have noticed, but I have labeled someone as my "Moirail" in my About Me. Conspicio is like one of my closest best friends. We talk everyday and we joke about everything and it seems like we've known each other for years. Like I have no idea how we became this close in a month but we have and I love it!!! Oh yes, and we are also Tumblr boyfriends, don't know how it happened, but it did along with Elaroh and RathCosplay's kawaii desu marriagu. So yes, featuring time!!



casually swooning :iconeeeeeplz:


Adorable. That's all I can really say. Look at those blue eyes!! unf!

He has tons of ask blogs on Tumblr so I definitely suggest going to them and asking the most outrageous and perverted questions ever askirldstrider.tumblr.com Tell him that Richie sent you :iconpervydaveplz:
-----------------------------------
So that's it for now guys. Now excuse me while I rush all of my cosplays for Anime Boston and hopefully do a good job!
Laters~ Much love~
