Reaper
rant 01.03.217
I’m a
bit biased and rightly so, the same holds true for anyone judging a
competition. The other day I was participating, in order to
entertain, win and spread the word. Be yourself try cosplay, however
that idea was shot down rather rudely by the most cringe worthy
statement I’ve heard. “If anime was a real characters, she is
that person”. Apparently she looked enough like an anime doll to
win. Which is fair enough if not for the overly focus on body type
and being a look alike. To me, hair color, body shape and skin tone
should have no bearing on a fair judgment.
“Judge
not a person by the color of his skin, but the content of his
character” Martin Luther King.
That
being said I’m quite certain I had the best performance on stage,
copying the animations and the mannerism of Reaper. Despite my very
hammy and successful effort, the girl with the giant scythe won. Yes
using a giant implement like that is impressive and I know for a fact
it is heavy. Since I’m the one whom made most of the thing. While
the Lovely participant did the paint job.
However
I have a sneaking suspicion that the judges liked her the most due to
being an anime character, they had some familiarity with. Unlike my
perfectly sensible Reaper performance.
Other
than this little rant of mine. I had a great time and have been
having two good consecutive days of streaming, where I have been
spending a lot of time screwing straps and working out more sensible
ways to attach armor pieces. On top of that I made three grenades, I
converted from cinnamon bottles. Which I added a handle to, at a
later point I will consider painting it as well. The bandolier on the
left side is quite tricky indeed. Since I now have to add another
belt to the side, which the graphics artist decided to add several
studs to, amongst other details. To keep the ordinance in place, I
employed several layers of plastic, covered in duct tape and held in
place with glue and screws.
A
rather rude and nasty troll did drop by. But as usual I made a
mockery of him and reported the fool.
