It was a thing in one of the movies, either Death & Rebirth or End of Evangelion, I forget.

It was The End of Evangelion, which was really just a re-do of the last two episodes of the series, and loving amazing for the level of dickery by Hideaki Anno. I swear you can hear him cackling throughout the whole thing.

Nobody succeeds at anything in the re-do episodes. Everyone fails, and most everybody dies horribly, and at the very end, Shinji decides to actually do something for himself for the first time in his miserable life and tries strangling Asuka, and fails at that, too. The last line of the last episode is Asuka saying "you disgust me."

"YOU WANTED A BETTER ENDING?!?!?! HERE'S YOUR BETTER ENDING, FUCKERS!!!"

There was something like that at a harry potter book promotion. Some woman posted a giant rant (first time I ever heard someone complain about breeders) about how unfair it was the prize went to a kid who wouldn't even appreciate it.

This was loving legendary. She totally lost her poo poo and it was unreal. A grown woman was screaming impotently on the Internet about losing a costume contest for a ~super special~ copy of a children's book, insulting the kid, his parents, and his costume. I remember thinking "there's no way this is real" when I first read about it.

Oh man, these guys look badass! But no, not me! Both of my 40k Sororitas costumes are colored for the Order of Our Martyred Lady and this costume looks to be the Order of the Sacred Rose, if I'm not mistaken.

Aaaaand it's still not a finished costume since I posted progress last but whatever, here's what I'm working on now, I just finished this helmet last week! This weekend is leg weekend, haha.

Good call! I'll definitely be sure to double-check. Do you have any suggestions for special effects contacts retailers that you trust?

Even here in the rural Midwest, I can find an optometrist that can order stuff like that without having to drive more than an hour or so. I'd say ask your friends and family who they see or just do a quick Google search for docs in your area. A simple call to ask "hey do you have those crazy blacklight-reactive lenses?" may just save your eyes!

I'm not trying to be a pretentious rear end in a top hat here--too many cosplayers end up injured because they order stuff online from overseas--yes, they do ask for your prescription, and they do say they'll make them custom, but at the end of the day the manufacturer may not actually be producing a product up to acceptable health and safety standards, and you have absolutely no way of knowing if that box from Taiwan contains something that will be fine or will leave you with cuts or ulcers on your corneas.

I've had both, and I'm telling you right now that corneal ulcers are the worst pain I've been in in my entire loving life. No joke. You can't see, you're disoriented, your face is swollen as gently caress, your head is pounding, your eyes are throbbing, and all the while you're sitting in the ophthalmologist's chair listening to her tell you you'll probably lose your sight.

Lots of people go "well it's cheaper and it's only for one day at a con so I'll risk it" but guys and gals, these are your eyes, not, say, a 3rd-party tail light assembly for your Honda where it doesn't matter if it doesn't fit quite right.

I don't mean to come across as lecture-y and preachy but holy crap if I can prevent just one person from going through that, you can think I'm an rear end in a top hat all you want.

I would be the first to sign on for that. I have renter's insurance 99% because of all my costumes, I have nightmares about apartment fires. :ohdear:

You can probably get a rider from your current insurance company that covers the appraised value of each costume (some places call these individual coverages "floaters"). A normal renters policy will only pay out the cost of materials minus depreciation, and I can tell you (very bitterly) from experience that proving even those costs in a way that the company will accept is an uphill battle :smith:

Oh. Oh this is called lawsuit time. Contact your insurance agency and a lawyer.

An auto repair shop that leaves the keys in your car overnight in a place it is liable to get stolen doesn't sound like the type of place to pony up on settlements very quickly, court-ordered or not. She'd probably end up back in court before seeing a dime, and it would be in the form of a lien on their business that they'd never pay off anyway.

Definitely argue with their insurance though and do not take the first offer they give you. Go to some dealerships and have them give you estimates for a cash purchase of a similar vehicle and try your best to argue those numbers instead. They just might relent in order to get the matter closed quickly and that $500 could become $750 :coal:
