** Two hundred and Fifty Seven **

Honestly. I've been blogging for SO LONG. I haven't took the time to blog about Cosplay. Ok. Well, now I have something to write about.

I have been cosplaying since Comic Fiesta 2007. Yes. It has been a full 4years of cosplay for me. But I only came out in 2009. =) And now people know me as Maro. ;)

I'm in no place to complain. Heck. I'm still very new to cosplay (tho many would disagree).

I'll keep this short and simple. ;)

First.

WHY. After some event do some of the cosplayers make groups. I mean. I was there. New and not familiar with anyone. But I do not understand why would you people have the urge to make a group. You want to get to know people in the community, go to events, say "hi". Maybe it's just me, but that's how i'd prefer it. Plenty of cosplay groups on facebook as it is. (currently in 8-9 groups) Is there some madd ass pride of being the admin of a cosplay group? Does it make you feel like the leader of all cosplayers or something?? As far as I'm concerned, I noticed newer cosers have the wrong idea of cosplay. If you think being an admin of a group is your ticket to getting known in the community, you're doing it wrong.

So. Very. Wrong.

Photo to entertain you~ ;)

Keep reading~ Owo

Second.

I'm not pin pointing. I am using it as an example.
How can you make a group and call it "Stars of cosplayer"?? So, by the name I figured whoever that is NOT in the group is not popular enough to be in it. YEAH. THAT was my first impression on the name of the group. Then, I went through member list. NO. I scrolled down. Obviously admin is a new cosplayer (not surprised anymore). COSPLAYING IS NOT FOR FAME. If you so happen made a name for yourself then its a plus. Other than that, it is but a hobby. just like any other hobby. Naming a group THAT, is going to mislead people.

Like. Seriously. Mislead.

Are you still with me? OwO


I have a few more things to say...

Third.

I'm sorry if i do offend people.
And you give the reason for the group is to GATHER ALL cosplayers. WHAT?? You think you're the ONLY ONE who's finally thought of making a cosplay group so that all the cosplayers can gather?? You think you're the ONLY ONE that had it "wonderful" idea?? Plus the fact that you're new. Yeah. You're this Einstein of the cosplay community. All of the people who had cosplayed longer never thought of such a thing. Sureeeee...Seems legit.

I'm finishing soon...


I promise~ OwO

Fourth.

MAJORITY of the time. The group gets spammed with "Like this...like that...contest..." Shared once. Its fine by me. But continue spamming and it becomes a nuisance to EVERYONE in the group. That aside. You give me reason for the group is for new cosers to learn from the more experienced ones. BITCH PUHLEEZEEEE. This is why I say those newer to cosplay nowadays are so dependent. Waiting for people to spoon feed.

Taobao in mandrin. Cant read mandrin. USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE. GET A FRIEND WHO CAN.

Wig problems. No idea how to handle. YOUTUBE. GOOGLE. USE THE INTERNET.

Prop making. No experience. COMMON SENSE. Dont tell me you wanna make a sword you go and use A4 paper. What kind of stupid are you?!?

Make up. No idea how to use anything. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. TRY AND ERROR. You don't expect to learn how to draw perfect eyeliner overnight.

I started cosplay with no help what so ever. The set of skills i have today for cosplay come from the internet and common sense. What's your excuse for not being able to learn on your own.

Then again, if someone does ask for help/guidance, I wouldnt go all dishing out on them. But sometimes somethings are so simple, makes me wonder why would ANYONE have problems with it.

Not happy with my post?

** Two Hundred and Fifty Six **

Rant post cuz I have been seeing stuff like this going around facebook for wayyy to long. so just to clarify some of the trash they put on the list.

45 THINGS A GIRL WANT, BUT WON’T ASK FOR

ok assuming she is a girlfriend in this context because if she wasn't NONE of the things on this list would make any sense. then again these are my responses. doesn't necessarily have to apply to all girls.

1. Touch her waist.

Technically it doesn't matter to me whether or not you touch my waist. Not a matter of life and death.

2. Actually talk to her.

er. if you dont talk, why are you still in a relationship?!?!

3. Share secrets with her.

not to say its a matter of trust, but i think the line would've been better if it was "Never keep secrets from her". then again, some secrets are meant to be kept to yourself. like how often you fap thinking about her extremely hot bestfriend. XD

4. Give her your jacket.

Honestly. I do not like this rule that says boys are obliged to give their jackets to girls when they're cold. Even if its a gentlemanly thing to do. BITCH. If you are highly aware you're going to get cold in the cinema, bring your own fucking jacket. I dont think the guy who brought a jacket to the cinema brought it just for show.

5. Kiss her slowly.

dafuq is this?! how slowly would you wanna kiss?!?! i mean, just a quick peck wouldve been fine as well. =__=

6. Hug her.

Dude. she's your girlfriend. Y U NO HUG.

7. Hold her.

Isn't this the same as hugging?!

8. Laugh with her.

Again. Why would i ask you to laugh with me?!?! WHY?!?! Makes no fucking sense.

9. Invite her somewhere.

Why would ANYONE ask someone to ask themselves out?? lol. Askception.

10. Hangout with her and your friends together.

i dont find this of any relevance.

11. Smile with her.

Smile. Laugh. SAME SHIT. If you aint happy with her, why are you with her?!?!

12. Take pictures with her.

Trust me. Most girls will ask for this. =__= its called camwhoring.

13. Pull her onto your lap.

She's your girl. She'll sit on your lap whenever she wants. Unless she feels fat and that sitting on your lap might break your bones.

14. When she says she loves you more, deny it. Fight back.

anddddddd~ we all love each other more. can we move on now?

15. When her friends say “I love her more than you”, deny it. Fight back and hug her tight so she can’t get to her friends. It makes her feel loved.

NO FUCKING FRIEND IN THE WORLD WOULD SAY SUCH A THING. trust me. im batman.

16. Always hug her and say I love you whenever you see her.

Didn't i read this somewhere on my way here??

17. Kiss her unexpectedly.

how many fucking times do you wanna kiss her?!?!

18. Hug her from behind around the waist.

I actually like this. =)

19. Tell her she’s beautiful.

Why havent you?!?!

20. Tell her the way you feel about her.

isn't this how you proposed?? =___=

21. Open doors for her, walk her to her car - it makes her feel protected, plus it never hurts to act like a gentleman.

opening doors i can pass. but walking her to the car, very much agreeable.

22. Tell her she’s your everything - only if you mean it.

If you dont mean it. why are you with her?!?!

23. If it seems like there is something wrong, ask her - if she denies something being wrong, it means SHE DOESN’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT - so just hug her.

technically, she'd always deny it.

24. Make her feel loved.

repost.

25. Kiss her in front of OTHER girls you know!

really?? is this some show off contest now???

26. Don’t lie to her.
27. DON’T cheat on her.

Same shit no? There's a whole load of repetitive shit up in this list.

28. Take her ANYWHERE she wants.

Yeah. ANYWHERE. She wants to go to the moon. What the fuck are you going to do?!?!

29. Text message or call her in the morning and tell her have a good day at school, and how much you miss her.

good morning texts from the right guy are always nice. =)

30. Be there for her whenever she needs you, and even when she doesn’t need you, just be there so she’ll know that she can always count on you.

Why are you even her boyfriend if you wont be there for her...=__= seriously...

31. Hold her close when she’s cold so she can hold you too.

isn't this the same as the hugging thing??

32. When you are alone hold her close and kiss her.

yeah. and we all know what happens next. *coughs*

33. Kiss her on the cheek; (it will give her the hint that you want to kiss her).

yeah. ill kiss your cheek cuz im too lazy to make you look at me so that i can iss u directly and you'll magically know i want to kiss you. seems legit.

34. While in the movies, put your arm around her and then she will automatically put her head on your shoulder, then lean in and tilt her chin up and kiss her lightly

.
i dont see how this scene works. her head is on your shoulder. how the fuck do you lean in?!?!?! =___=

35. Don’t ever tell her to leave even jokingly or act like you’re mad. If she’s upset, comfort her.

if she cant take a joke, she sucks.

36. When people diss her, stand up for her.

technically if she's the one who started it, fight your own battles bitch.

37. Look deep into her eyes and tell her you love her.

ok. if you dont look at her and tell her you love her, then how do you tell her you love her??? =_____=

38. Lay down under the stars and put her head on your chest so she can listen to the steady beat of your heart, link your fingers together while you whisper to her as she rests her eyes and listens to you.

whisper what?!?!

39. When walking next to each other grab her hand.

you do know that grab means to grasp or seize suddenly and roughly...i think id get freaked out if the guy im dating grabs my hand. XD

40. When you hug her, hold her in your arms as long as possible.

Ya...ya... ok....lots of hugging and holding... moving on...

41. Call or text her at night to wish her sweet dreams.
42. Comfort her when she cries and wipe away her tears.

It is your duty as her boyfriend. No questions asked.

43. Take her for long walks at night.

Curfew.

44. Always remind her how much you love her.

Yeah. she has short term memory loss you see. Needs to be reminded like every 5 seconds.

45. Sit on top of her and tell her how much you love her and then bend down to her face and kiss her while you’re sitting on her.

DAFUQ DID I JUST READ.
