Trails and tribulations





Seriously, there is nothing more aggravating and irritating than an event which is almost impossible to reach where communication is poor. Not only did said event stream a lot of darkness and empty space the event itself did not utilize twitch properly to actually save any highlights at all. Then a random fellow comes to pester my channel about how I need written permission and it’s not a trans formative work. Which it’s not, but more a backup of the event, due to how hard it is to reach them in the first place and their refusal to archive their content. The biggest reason I saved the content was because I had to see for myself how my performance on stage was compared to the other participants and to find out where to improve. The whole mail thing is especially silly, I contacted them on their mail several months earlier to tell them that I want to help with the cosplay part. About a week before said event, they have the gall to say that I should have taken contact earlier. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before in here somewhere. To top it of, it’s just now they have notified me of the nature of the video and copyright, more than a year later. On the flip side the main page information this time around is most satisfactory and have the required information needed. While I love a good show and a decent cosplay competition, I’m not entirely sure if the schedule adds up to something I want to spend time on, even if someone is expecting me, luckily if I preregister there is no entrance fee for me.

Aside from this, I have a plan. It’s a great plan, a good plan, in fact it’s the best plan. It includes the monkey king, the emperor of heaven itself, a horse and a creampie.

I’ve also finally found out how to do the #masseffect armor, without sacrificing mobility and being able to sit on a chair or in a sofa. Now I have to achieve the same with the leg armor and all the other pieces and make a gun, and quite possibly an omnitool. Though to do that feat of cosplay engineering I’ll have to figure out how to make it out of something orange and transparent. I suppose a transparent sheath lined with something orange that can bee seen through and strategic led lights.

Eventually I will start cutting out the dang samurai armor and punch it full of thread holes. I also need to write more on my stories, a couple of decent reviews and make more videos, with better content and quality. Which is very tricky, but doable. Unfortunatly for me I’m not capable of being a terrible enough of a human to exploit the worst sides of humanity and children. Oh the horrors of having a decent moral compass.

A more definite plan aside from working this season I have begun larping a lot more and there are several great ones lined up. Living roleplaying can be very, very rewarding and is a perfect place to practice acting skills and to become a different character for a while, something we all could use a year or two of. 



See you on the flip side
