Konekocon 2025 cosplans!

 Hello everyone!

My con year will be started with Konekocon, the miniature version of Nekocon. January is almost done already (where did it go fr) and that means that Konekocon is just around the corner. Yes, it's literally held on the 1st February so it's about time that I settle on what to cosplay! I'm not sure if I'm mentally ready just yet but time is asking no one and everything has been booked already so it's yolo and let's go. I've had some absolutely awful insomnia episodes lately and I'm constantly out of energy so yeah, I'm not feeling it right now but I hope it will be a bit better by the time I start packing for Kuopio.

It took me a moment to decide on what to cosplay, mainly because I quite literally kept forgetting when Konekocon actually was and so I was in a constant loop of fooling myself and thinking that there's plenty of time to come up with something lol. Oh well, I wouldn't have had time to create anything new anyway (and recycling is pop!) and so I looked at what I could possibly rewear that wouldn't be too cold since yeah, it's still winter. I didn't want to wear something that I've recently worn out either and a bunch of my older costumes are still in need of repairs so yeah, that narrowed the list down quite conveniently. :')

Character: Yamato no Kami Yasusada
Series: Touken Ranbu

I'm going with Yasusada and, more specifically, his uchiban outfit or at least that's what I think the alternate outfits are called. This costume was last seen in Närcon 2017 so it's about time to bring it back out again I'd say. I should have all the pieces safely lying around, the only question mark is the scarf – I have no clue where it might be lol. I should have enough time to find it though so it'll be fine...

Because Konekocon is only a one-day event, unlike Nekocon, it also means that I'm only bringing one cosplay with me. Yasusada should be quite guaranteed unless some unforeseen disaster hits; although I will in all likelihood bring an extra pair of shoes with me for swapping whenever I go outdoors – I just don't want to fall and dislodge my arm if it's slippery outside it has happened more than once and I'm quite paranoid of it happening any more times.

That's it for the starter post of the year, Konekocon report coming next so stay tuned!
