I Remember...

Arcsquad12 posted:

So It's a week till halloween, and I want to do a costume up real nice. I want to make some armour out of foam and glue like a tutorial I read suggested. And hit up an army surplus store to get some extra bits and bobs. What is a good place to find some straps or velcro to hold the pieces down? Also, would it be a good idea to get some plasticard for backing just so the foam itself is a bit sturdier?

Ask the thread on how to do cosplay stuff, they can point you in the right direction.

That Iron Throne is pretty sweet tbh. I see the Master Sword, Frostmourne from Warcraft, Kylo Ren's lightsaber, Sting from LotR and a FFVIII gunblade. There's probably more there too.

Nice, I didn't notice that. Front and center sword is He-Man's sword, I think the one just to the left of it might be from Sword Art Online.

Or skirt the line with characters like Naoto from Persona or Faris from FFV. My bet is this rule is going to last exactly one year before being trolled into being ditched.

Okay, Two things.

This tells me that there is such a thing called the Anime News Network, which opens the floodgates of a bobby's world-imagining like scenario of an anime newsman reporting the hot issues, from anime nazis to what color panties this week is the rage.


Two, I think ladybeard and others have the right to wear whatever the gently caress he/she wants in a convention that happens annually(I'm assuming).

It's not nearly as interesting as you think. It's mostly an anime IMDB with some pseudo news articles.

Fake outrage is people being mad about things that don't actually happen. Like voter fraud or people claiming to be transgender to perv out in bathrooms.

Or suddenly becoming outraged at things they'd never ever showed the slightest concern over before, like pro-coal anti-renewable-energy people getting all up in arms about windfarms killing birds.

The first clue is when you post about how upset you are on the internet, in a place for other people to read about it and comment back to your post.
