I was bored at the anime convention. (And it's actually my fault.)

Funny. Add in 'sneering at unashamed weeaboos' and that sounds exactly like what I'm planning to do.
If I had time, effort and money, I know exactly what I'd go as.
I do not add "Sneering at people" in the lists of things I do because it'd be like adding "Breathing" to my list of plans for...pretty much anything.
Well, I can't say as I normally sneer at anyone. Just people who really annoy me.
But hey, whatcha gunna do.
hey, just saying. we got the same battle plan, we should be on the same army, know what i'm saying
let's gear up and roll out
I'd be reluctant to spend money on any event of which only a few parts(vidya, food and Japanese dance music) really interest me. And the chance of running into autists who will keep yapping on about tentacles is not that reassuring either.
I would totally cosplay if I had the talent/effort to do so. Probably I'd do someone like Ezio or Captain Harlock.
I think the best cosplay I'd be capable of in terms of Japanese media is a genderbent female character. There's a lack of blond bearded longhair heroes out of Japanese media, but a genderbend can interpret a beard into a character 'cause why the hell not? Prince Zelda is probably a decent call, although Male!Samus is another possibility while also letting me pull a reverse-Metroid-reveal.
May I suggest Cho-Marisa?
... you know, apart from my lack of a Schwarzeneggian physique...
Oh God, I was joking at first, but do you actually think you can pull it off?
Maybe. Like I said, I'm not built like a brick shithouse but with that exception it might actually be workable.
For those who don't know, this is Cho-Marisa:
If I ever cosplayed I would go as ZUN. He has some sick style
And Alex, if I were you I wouldn't care too much about the build, as long as you're not horrendously skinny like me.
With or without a muscle bodysuit, I urge you to do a Cho-Marisa cosplay and provide us with pictures of it. (I'd say 'demand', but you outrank me now so I'm still letting you decide whether you do it or not.)
People probably won't care about your build when you're cosplaying. For instance, I'm also a horrendously skinny person, and I went as Roronoa Zoro for a few years, but he's jacked.
It's kinda a different thing given how ridiculously massive Cho Marisa is. But that decision is definitely up there.
Wait, Alex is blond?
everything i thought i knew was a lie
I'm sure I've mentioned it before because it's one of the few things I'm happy to be vain about.
Not that I recall
I was sure you had brown hair. It just matched up so perfectly with my mental image of you.
Sorta.
I have natural layers. The bottom layer actually is pretty brown, but the rest is dark blond that bleaches like a boss in the sun and tapers into a brighter shade even in winter. Boss hair is boss.
butbutbut Aragorn isn't even blond
Nor is Jesus, but that is how some of my friends refer to me.
(Also, Eomer is blond!)
Did I ever really know you at all
I have many names!
Alex still remains a genderbent Integra Hellsing in my mind.
... which is another good cosplay option!
If I ever decide to cosplay, I'd go for David Tennant.
You are allowed to stop everything you're doing right now in order to act surprised.
I have only ever cosplayed as Kaine Furey from Fullmetal Alchemist, who is so damn obscure that of course nobody knew who I was supposed to be. Also, I almost look more like a bad excuse for Hughes if I haven't shaved recently enough. For some reason there were almost no other FMA cosplayers at CTcon last summer. But I of course still have the uniform, and I wore it as a Halloween costume to two different club events.
If I really wanted that cosplay to work I'd make a big fake military backpack radio, but that would be very heavy and I wouldn't be able to wear a nice normal backpack. I'd much rather not cosplay at all. Then if I go with Frances, I can photograph her more easily and carry her stuff for her, since Giant Naked Rei just can't have a backpack. I mean seriously.
