Went for my first-but-technically-second Cosplay division meeting of JTC...
I have to admit, it was rather a disappointment (eventhough I DID meet a fellow BL fan there + another Kuroshitsuji fan (who's a guy and supports Sebasu) + one KHR fan (who is also a guy and wants to cosplay as Gokudera)
The seniors were unable to control the noise volume in the lecture theater and the president looked very murderous.
Going to do a little rant here.
I don't like the way the seniors act. They acted like they were the ones who knew everything, as if they had years and years of cosplaying under their belt. Like Belle said, they're 'acting very elitist'.
Most of them seemed to think that it was their job to order us which character to cosplay. I mean, for heaven's sake, WASN'T COSPLAYING ALL ABOUT FUN? Since when did it fall upon them to decide who's going to cosplay who?
Cosplay (from my point of view eventhough I'm no pro or anything) has no right or wrong. You can look like shit but at least you're having fun. I'm not going to cosplay a character that I don't even know!!! *Yes, they were actually handing out characters that they think we should cosplay even though some of us didn't even know who the fuck those characters were.*
They even stereotyped what sort of people should cosplay what characters.
Take Haruhi from 'The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi' for example.
According to them, people who want to cosplay as her should be 'cute, spunky, not too tall, cannot be emo, should be quite petite, big-eyed bla bla bla.'
Like WTF?
Then they were all, "Unless you want to be utter fail, you should carefully choose what character you fit."
I mean, c'mon! Is it crime to let an emo girl cosplay Haruhi?? Will that emo girl even cosplay as Haruhi???? I'm getting somewhat off the point here but whatever.
I think cosplay's just all about having fun. Doesn't matter if you don't fit the character or not. It's the fun factor.
Then there was this other girl who *apparently* knows EVERYTHING about Allen Walker. I really detest how she got so impatient with me when asking me which bloody uniform I wanted to cosplay. I told her, "Neh, the Exorcist uniform." and she said, "THERE'S 3!!!" (I'm sure she would've added "You ignorant bitch." but her tone said it all.)
How the fuck would I know the Black Order would come up with another uniform that was black and red????
THE MANGA WAS ALL BLACK AND WHITE ;w; She got all high and mighty after that and started flipping through the bloody pages (eventhough I told her -- fucking told her that I was sure it was the 2nd uniform I was thinking of). SHEESH. I TOTALLY REMEMBERED IT WAS THE 2ND UNIFORM. I kept telling her summore!!!!!!
I think she was just showing off that she had that book.
*Sorry, am really pissed here*
I was pondering whether I wanted to continue staying in that division ;w; but then after some advice from Belle, I think I'll just hang around a bit some more. Just don't get too close to some of them.
Thank goodness Evan was with me or else I would've considered slapping that girl for her impertinance (seriously, she seemed to be so furious at my *ahem* 'ignorance' her voice went all high and impatient) ARGH.
*steam runs out*
