Cosplay

Ok, I dunno how many of you actually care about my cosplays, but for those of you interested, I'm going to layout my plans for you.

Next planned cosplay:

Mafia!Sora to match 's Mafia!Riku

Non-cosplayish but coming up after:

A rainbow lolita. I'm doing it for school mostly, since me and will be running most of the GSA this year. It's not like I'd wear it during school hours though, because I might get stopped by a teacher for having "distracting attire"... so maybe for a few meetings and meet-ups or something.

Next actual cosplay (if I can master the applique for it):

Prince Mytho in this form [link] (since he has so many princely forms)

I tend to procrastinate until the last second unfortunately though...so I'm gona try to resolve not to do that and get everything DONE. LIKE EARLY. LIKE SAKULA'S SHIRT AND PANTS COMBO OTL

The "Three Bases" a.k.a. Yaoi, Hentai, and Yuri

• Yaoi - Although my favorite of the three, there is no excuse for being biased in this base. This base has many young members in middle school and/or early high school. Being at that age contributes somewhat to the immaturity of certain sections of this base. And in my opinion ridiculous statements and ideals such as "You don't like yaoi because you don't support gay men blah blah blah you're homophobic!". Ok, that I know is NOT TRUE. People have things they like and things they don't. Just because you'd rather not look at pictures of guys making out with other guys or seeing it in public does NOT mean you do not support the gay rights movement for men. Furthermore, sexuality should not be looked at as far as determining support for this movement. Many straight people DO support the gay rights movement, and they need to be thanked. THANK YOU STRAIGHT PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT GAY PEOPLE. YOU ARE SO UNDERSTANDING AND KIND. See? Easy. But if they are supporting you or something you believe in, give them support back! This isn't a give-and-take here, it's a give-and-GIVE. Support straight people too! Without them, there are no babies! MPREG IS NOT REAL! Adoption is. But where did that adopted baby come from? A STRAIGHT LADY'S BELLY...most likely, unless a lesbian got artificial insemination...but that's besides the point. But anyways...it's just rude to force ideals on other people and tell them that they are something that they're not. You can't tell someone else who they are or what they believe in, that's just stupid. And one more thing, no bashing anyone else alright? There is no need for that. You want respect? You gotta EARN IT. You can like what ya like, but don't try to make others like it if they don't want to.


• Hentai - Hentai is a very strong base, but some members can be immature as well. There are various clubs on dA that are against yaoi and/or yuri. Most of the time, but maybe not always (I don't claim to know for sure), these club are headed by strictly hentai fans. Hentai may be strong (they have tentacles...so they can uh f*ck you back if you f*ck with them...) but it's intimidating to the yaoi and yuri fans if all of this anti-yaoi/yuri stuff is spewed around. Yeah...they have hentai hating clubs too, so SHAME yaoi/yuri fans! Either way, attacking the other side only causes a war. Now you can say yourself that you're not a fan, but it's just not in the most kind of spirits to go charging at the fans of yaoi/yuri. Even if some of them are dumb...but that aside, how are the three bases supposed to get along if you just say "This pairing sucks, I'm anti anti-this and anti-that!" but it would be much kinder to say, for example "You may like SasuNaru, but I don't really like it that much. I prefer NaruHina. You can keep liking SasuNaru all you want, but I have my own preferences." We all have our own preferences, right? So don't use your passion to attack the other side, use your passion to give your favorite pairing a lot of support! Join clubs or your fave hentai pairing, and be an active member! Don't go hammering on others. Some yaoi/yuri people do it too with their own ways, but don't take their example and sink to their level! I mean you DO realize there are some yaoi/yuri fans that are actually smart and nice, right? Well with that anti-whatever club of yours, you're attacking the yaoi/yuri fans that actually respect you. You're actually destroying what could potentially be a mutual agreement of respect! Where's the love people? Where's the love? But other than that, hentai fans, for those of you who are rather kind, you guys are cool. You have a passion, a very strong one, for your canon, and even some non-canon pairings. For many of the manga in your genre, there is unrelenting love between a boy and girl. Not just lust like in some of the yaoi/yuri cases. Another credit for hentai has to be drama, because that's where manga drama came from in the first place. And DRAMA MAKES THINGS INTERESTING. And you guys are ALL about interesting, amIright?


• Yuri - This is the base I know the least about to be honest. The stereotype from what I hear is that the Yuri base is filled with old perverts and such nonsense. Not true. I support yuri, though I do prefer the relationshippy stuff. The base is known for perversion, but there are some more lovey-dovey pairings within the base. Lesbian support blah blah, it is possible that this base has some of the same flaws as the yaoi base, as far as the girl's gay rights movement is concerned. The thing about the girl's gay right's movement is, lesbians from what I've seen get more support than gay men...and that really sucks. Why do they? Because there are a lot of guys who think two girls kissing each other is really hot, so they support lesbianism with their dick. That's not support, that's hormones...but other than that, it's not all about the gays as I said before, straight people need their support too! Like a comedian once said (I forgot who) "They have a gay parade, right? Where's the parade for us straight people? You don't see me marching around yelling VAGINAS!" he said it to that effect anyway...


The moral of this post is...EVERYONE SHOULD SUPPORT/RESPECT/BE NICE TO EVERYONE ELSE. Heh, like that'll ever happen...but a girl can dream right? RIGHT???

That is all *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*
