#fanime2011

wrapping up #fanime2011 and segueing right into #ala2012 because I didn’t do a whole lot of #durarara cosplay and didn’t really feel super invested in the series. i actually didn’t even want to cosplay mikado but unfortunately i didn’t know how to say no or something. i did enjoy cosplaying Namie though. and even if these costumes aren’t my faves or anything it’s still a part of my cosplay history—the jacket for mikado was one of the first few things i made myself! i started making my own costumes in between these two cons, so the journey from buying my costumes to making them also started between here! this ALA was a continuation of Fanime in some ways and so emotionally i’m not fond of it but costume-wise it was a pretty great point for me because i debuted two costumes i made completely from scratch (which i’ll be posting next). #animelosangeles #fanime

the naruto spam isn’t quite over but there will be a break for a bit because #fanime2011 is also when i did #grellsutcliff which is like god that’s like peak mid2000s anime nerd but w/e i had a gorgeous #madamered ✌🏽

#fanime2011 was a strange con for me in hindsight but despite some of the less than pleasant realities, memories, and so on there were still some great things about that con and some serious lessons learned about life, depression, and who to place your trust in among other things. still some great memories and honestly even if badness happens good things can come even if it takes years for the good to be fully realized. i wouldn’t be where i am or who i am without that, and i wouldn’t be friends with an amazing person either— @capttimetravel is a gem of a person and i would not trade that friendship for anything. 💗 #nartocosplay
