[OOC] Year One [ Closed for TheDookieNut and El Taco Taco ]

[TheDookieNut]

That sound super confusing XD Cosplay looks so hard! Even the basic stuff! I'm sure it isn't, at all. Even thinking about it, it probably isn't. It doesn't seem difficult at all, but it does at the same time X'D I give my hat to you!

Really? Easy? You're brave, haha. It probably is easy but I doesn't look it at all >.< sowing legs and arms and everything else is just >.< how did you make the belt and bites? I'd assume plastic but that's just silly..

Haha! Yes! In a way, I'm dying to see Brennan punch Theo and knock him down a peg or two; making their rivalry 100000000x worse. Yet on the other hand, I want Theo to make Brennan feel super tiny and small and embarrassed because Theo's a prick like that, which again will make their rivalry 10000000x worse! Oooh the drama XD

[El Taco Taco]

It's tricky for me bc I have zero experience with sewing haha! So everything I make requires like, 3 test patterns and loads of stupid fuckups. Oh the folly of youth!

Well, It'll mostly just be keeping the seams aligned and installing the zipper, and I have loads of practice with all that now, haha! I'll probably make several fuck ups, but whatever, that's a problem for future Taco.

The bites are actually black painted children's toy bullet bandoliers! I really need to plasti-dip them and repaint them so the paint stops flaking--although I would love to 3D print the bites and jam LEDs in them.
The belt I made out of 3 pieces of craft foam which I glued onto an elastic belt, because I am super lazy and it works. I do plan on remaking the belt, but it works for meow.

OMG YES TO ALL OF THAT. Rivalry foreveerrr! And everrrrrr!!

[TheDookieNut]

Is the stitching easy to pull out once a mistake has been made or do you just throw that piece away? Oh cosplay, why do you look so much but be so difficult!? Stupid cosplay X'D

Ooooh, that makes sense. I'm sure there's a way for you to get them to stop flaking that doesn't sound super difficult and scary :P that would be so cool! 3D printing is so awesome :3 it might cost a lot though... Be way cooler but double the price at least. Hurray for craft foam! Aren't half the outfits made from craft foam? Well, the ones that aren't just clothes, like the mechs and the non-humanoid characters..

Yes yes yes! It would be doubly funny to see it from an outside perspective too with Sadie, Seine, and George XD

[El Taco Taco]

It's possible to pull, just not always easy. Seam ripping a zipper out of spandex is suuuuper tedious. ;A;

Loads of armor is made from craft foam, actually. It's cheap and easy to work with (albeit time-consuming) and super light to wear. It's magical shit. Craft foam + heat gun + blow torch = you can make anything.

[TheDookieNut]

It sounds it >.< it's all jargon to me! I'd just go out and buy it all XD because of ease and what I'd cosplay XD you'll get it right, don't worry :)

Hahaha ^^ to be honest it looks super easy. There are videos out there of people making their outfits and it looks so easy! Apparently it takes an average of 300 hours to make a semi complicated outfit, don't ask me what one of those it >.< it might have even been longer than that, I haven't a clue >.<

[El Taco Taco]

I feel like the hardest about cosplay is how long everything takes, haha! Oh well. Totes worth!

[TheDookieNut]

And knowing how to do it. Especially all the robot cosplays. Those be crazy

[El Taco Taco]

I love building armor! It's easier for me than sewing, that's for sure.
I need to have husbandito send me the photos he took during PAX so I can show you the cosplay I made for my friend! He was an enforcer and he missed the Borderlands photoshoot group, but he was a kickass Mordecai *_* And I want to brag about my armor making skills haha

[TheDookieNut]

Brag away! I'm already impressed! Seeing the parades and looking at people's photo is insane. The level of detail people go to and can achieve is insane! It's amazing what people can do! Especially since I thought most of people's costumes were either bought or made professionally. Especially with who amazing some of them look!

PS. I went there. Yup. You won't get this until you read my reply but, I saw the opportunity, and I took it. I'm a terrible human being.

[El Taco Taco]

THEO.

THEO YOU TOOL.

OMG HAHHAHAHAHA YESSSSSS

[TheDookieNut]

I told you he was a prick!

[El Taco Taco]

Theo is such a butt! Omgyesssssss

[TheDookieNut]

Haha, he really is. He is Malfoy incarnate, just 1000x more obnoxious and smug XD I imagine he'll only get worse

[El Taco Taco]

Short post! I'm thinking we should timeskip to Halloween soon. Thoughts??

[TheDookieNut]

@El Taco Taco Totally agree.

Want me to fast forward?

[El Taco Taco]

Go for it c:

[TheDookieNut]

Not sure why I mentioned you in the previous post XD Sleepy brain XD

How've you been anyway?

I'm going to leave Halloween quiet open in terms of what can happen as I'm not sure if you wanted anything in particular to set things going.

[El Taco Taco]

Okay! Spending time with husbandito before he goes to Virginia for a month, but he's off playing Magic right meow c: popping in some Inquisition so I can have my canon playthrough redone with fancy mods and shit before I finally play the newest DLC next month.

How are you??

And it's cool, I have ideaaaaaaas

[TheDookieNut]

I'm assuming he's going for work? I remember Magic :P What deck does he play? Haha
Is Inquisition any good? I got about an hour in and wasn't a huge fan. Is it worth it? What would the gaming world be without mods? :P

I'm okay, moved house which is awesome. Living with one of my best friends and so far we don't hate each other. We're both solitary so that works haha ^^

Yay! Ideas!!!

[El Taco Taco]

Haha, so many right meow *A* I'll ask when he gets home.

Yeah, it's kind of grindy but the story is totes worth it. I've modded it to high hell now, so it's prettier and I don't have to do ten million fucking fetch quests.

Ooh, yay! That sounds perf.
