14 - Desucon -

So here, have this long and image heavy entry of awesome weekend I had at Desucon, Lahti. So as I said before since we couldn't get our Sengoku Basara cosplays done with Linde we needed to change our plans. We left to Pauli's place around 2:30 pm and we were still making our costumes around 11 am. And we both basically made those whole night. It was close but no can do. We are going to do them later and make them the best costumes you have never seen. OK probably not but anyway.

We jumped to our joy-van as we call Ville's van around 3 pm and started to drive towards to Lahti ! It had been a while since we saw each other last time so we had lots to talk about and one hour passed really fast. We picked up Reettis from Lahti's train station and went to our hotel. We had two hotel rooms since our group was quite big.

We dressed up to our costumes and headed to Sibeliustalo around 5 pm. We basically just hung around and  had photo shoot. I can't remember when last time I have had this fun while photo shooting. Finally we had characters who could derp around and we did got some nice photos too.

Also sunset was amazing ! It finally feels like summer has started. 

Yes I know port or sea isn't best background for Gakuen Basara but this just looked really nice imo

We took our photo shoots really seriously. Dance break perhaps?

I CAN'T. I have laughed about half hour to this already. I don't even.

I really liked of my wig btw

Others left quite early but we (me, Linde and Visti) stayed and wait Reettis who went to see couple panels or something. We walked from Sibeliustalo to our hotel, we where there around 11 pm. Then we just took costumes off, watched TV, talked and ate. Went to sleep around 2 am.

On Saturday we woke up 7:30 am and dressed up to our costumes. We were wearing hakama versions of Yukimura and Masamune which we originally planned of wearing on Sunday. I had first small problems with my contact lenses since my left eye didn't want to cooperate with me and then I had small problems with my hakamas. I was pretty much afraid of whole day that those will fall off and everyone would see my boxers. It have happened to me once couple years ago at Desucon btw. Yet again we just hang around. This time we hang with Jami and Andy who were cosplaying Dean and Castiel from Supernatural. Linde got really bad nosebleed couple times so there were blood everywhere. Too bad that I didn't get good picture of all that blood.

Pauli and Ville

I went to see Eurocosplay preliminary contest and Hall cosplay contest with Reettis and Ines. Yet again there were absolute gorgeous costumes and wonderful shows. Maybe one day I will be good enough to take part too. We decided not to go to photo shoot our cosplays since Linde was not feeling too well after losing that much blood.

I bought something too! I buy at least one figure from every bigger con! This time it was Panty from Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt! Thanks god mom gave me money, thought it wasn't even that expensive. 27€ of figure isn't bad at all!

Others left again sooner than us, we left to our hotel room around 9 pm to take costumes off. We just lied there and watched Mean Girls. Reettis came with Ines later and Ines changed her Other-girl-sempai costume back to normal clothes and ran to train. We had really weird topics that night. First we talked about  drool and drooling and then when the Walking Dead started we changed our topic to how we would survive in zombie apocalypse and what we could use as weapons. We went to sleep around 2 am again.

Our small sanctum where were my SB poster and Panty figure and Linde's Yoko figure.

On Sunday it was bit harder to get up at 7:30 am. We choose to wear Gakuen Basara cosplays on Sunday too. We packed our stuff and left to Sibeliustalo around 9 am. We had small photo shoot since we got this master plan of eating our cup noodles there. Not much to publish.

Real man eats with 6 forks

After eating we went to watch our friends' Cosplay Photo shoot panel and just derp around. Final hour before leaving was pretty much full of awful and lame jokes and really really bad derping. We left to drive towards to Vihti around 5pm.

First we had only one anime gurl but then...

This is how con-car should look like.

Time went really fast and aa can I just go back ? Next con for me will be Tracon and I can't wait over 2 months ! Well of course we plan to go to photo shoot during summer but still. Damn you Kuopio and money issues for cockblocking Animecon from me.

Hi guys, I'm not dead even though I haven't been updating as often as I'm already used to. I have just been really busy with my school and cosplays. Now when both school and Desucon is over I actually have time to do other stuff.


Before Desucon were Falling Down - parties at my friend's place near Lahti. We have this tradition to go there and be drunk about 2 to 3 days row. This time our "reason" to celebrate was Veera's 18th birthday. I don't have that much pictures from there since my camera was having wild adventures elsewhere and I had to keep company to alcohol, wait what.

This picture probably tells more than thousand words. Welcome to Noomi's porno cave XD

On that evening happened something I will probably going to remember my whole lifetime. We were casually watching Eurovision song contest when suddenly 3 huge dogs came out of nowhere and started to bark. Then came two drunk about 40 years old guys. Veera was already passed out and I tried to wake her up. It was probably most random ever: "Veera, Veera wake up. There is two men and three huge dogs!" I'm afraid of dogs so I was pretty much just hiding rest of the night.

Rest of the days between FD and Desucon I was just making my costumes or school stuff, and well I went to see the Avengers third time with my friends. Since I couldn't get my Saturday's costume done to Desucon  I'll just dump some progress pictures here.

Actually those are almost ready now. This picture is old one lol.

Casually using our sport-machine-thing as wardrobe.

OK and then my chest armor and hip armors were unfinished so I didn't take pictures of them yet. I'm not sure if I'm satisfied with the leg armors. I'm probably going to remake those later. Since it seems like that we can't make it to Animecon this year we are probably going to make these for next year then. Since we both have plans we can't cancel to Tracon already.

I'll write new entry for Desucon because otherwise this entry would be pretty damn long. But here while waiting take pictures of my new cool Loki's Army shirt.

This week went extremely fast even though I didn't do anything too special. I finally got my Sengoku Basara nendoroids I pre-ordered last year on Tuesday!

This two are my first nendoroids since this far ! Both are super cute etc but gotta say that getting them stand nicely was quite pain in the ass. Yukimura stands nicely now but Masamune is constantly falling down since their heads are quite heavy and that fastening-mechanism really sucks. But otherwise I'm satisfied. Also this was first time when I ordered something from AmiAmi and gotta say that I'll recommend them! Nothing bad to say. Everything went smoothly and shipping was really fast. These two + shipping to Finland costed only 60€, not bad !

I also took better picture of that Sanada Yukimura coin figure I bought from Tampere Kuplii last weekend:

Otherwise this week has went with making costumes. Expect yesterday we went to see the Avengers second time with my brother ! There seriously are no words to describe these feels what Loki gives to me. If you like Marvel movies you definitely should go to see the Avengers ! Also yes you could say that I have joined to the Loki's army. Now kneel before the God of the Mischief !

Hi guys, I returned to my blog sooner than I expected because aaa I have so much things to show! 

I got something really nice last Tuesday, you can probably guess what it is

lol we were too excited to search scissors or knife...

So tadaa here is my 3rd computer! Now I have one laptop for school use, one for other use and PC for gaming.

 

my new love ♥

Added more fans to my brother's PC too.

My room is rather small so at the moment I can't use my PC tho (╥_╥) I don't have enough space for table. But hopefully we will get apartment soon so I can play, wait what. I been planning of buying new TV so I could use it as screen, and I really need better TV for PS3 and PS2 I really hate my old fat CRT TV.


Also I have made some progress what comes to my cosplays for this spring/summer. I'm cosplaying Howl from Howl's Moving Castle at Tampere Kuplii (5.5.2012) and I have almost got his jacket done.

Herpderp ugly jacket is ugly

I run out of fabric but I'll go tomorrow to fabric store to get rest of the materials. Should iron it, cut strings etc.
Also because I'm badass and ditched school on Thursday too, I had time to test my wig and contact lenses for my Sanada Yukimura (Sengoku Basara) cosplay. I'm going to make three versions of Yukimura to Desucon (8.-10.6.2012); Gakuen Basara version, Normal version and Hakama version.

Ooh Mr. WC-paper ooh

Next weekend is my friend's housewarming parties and we are planning of going to Estonia with Linde someday soon so there are going to be lot to update. From where I suddenly got social life seriously.


/ long entry is long. Now off to have some quality time with my PS3.
