Cosplay addition for Tracough.. err, I mean Tracon.

Hellou ~

I assume most people know already that I published my Tracon cosplay plans. Buuuuuuuuuuut. I've decided to do a small addition to them!
And the reason for that is simply because the last few days I've been coughing my lungs out all over the place and I'm not happy about it. I'm not sure what's wrong because I don't have fever or anything, just the goddamn cough and it's ripping my throat apart.. or something like that. :C I'm currently on a hot drink spam diet but it's a short-lived relief. Möh. My fits come and go in waves, it's really bothersome and it starts hurting fast to boot too...
But yeah, I've gotten fed up with the more or less constant coughing and then a few days ago I half-jokingly told myself that I'd friggin' take with me another cosplay to make use of this misfortune instead of being bothered by it. And then a voice whispered clearly in my mind:

Cosplay a certain someone.

It wasn't a hard choice. It's not like the outfit takes a lot more luggage space (I need two suitcases anyway OTL) and at least then no one can come and bitch at me because I'm sitting in a corner and my newest much needed drug in life just happens to be cough medicine... :'D

Most people who know me would know what character is in question by now...

Series: Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan
Character: Souji Okita (bedridden yukata, anime version)
Yeah, of course. It's Okita-san. ;A; Ainaki saan yskiä keuhkot pihalle rauhassa... </3 I don't know yet at which con day I will swap for him though. It's more likely to be on Sunday evening but might be Saturday evening as well; it will depend on many things so we'll see how it ends. I'll bring with me ochimizu as well.. and I'll try not to drink it in hopes that it would cure me...

Otherwise I'll be leaving for Tampere (aka Tracon city) already on Thursday night and yeah, that's totally today. Man, I'll be there so early on the morning that the pigs won't even have time to fart... God knows if I'll manage to sleep in the train but I'm gonna be so dead when we arrive at our destination on Friday morning, that's for sure. And I'm supposed to have a pre-Tracon photoshoot on the same day.
Oh boy, that's gonna be one hell of a day. Eyebags galore, here I come.

Tracon 2014 cosplay plans – A samurai and one who hates samurai

 Ou hi peeps!

Tracon is getting closer and closer (it's on 13-14 September!) and it's about time that I settle on what to cosplay and publish my plans! I've been thinking long and hard on what to cosplay especially on the Sunday but I've finally decided now. Here we go then!

Saturday

Series: Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan
Character: Hajime Saitou


Saitou time! It's one of my current favorite cosplays to wear so of course a wild Saitou will appear here and there. :'D But this time it will be a little bit different namely, I will bring with me my Shinsengumi banner/flag/nobori/whatnot which I made already last year! Oh man, how I've been waiting to get to actually bring it with me to a con and NOW IS THE TIIIIIIIME. >8D
Oh, I will also have a small Hakuouki cosplay group with Hasakitsuki and Jäätynyt Enkeli!

Sunday

Series: Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan
Character: Ryunosuke Ibuki


Okay let's try again! I didn't get to cosplay Ibuki back at Animeseminaari so I'm gonna fix that now! I really need more photos of this cosplay and Tracon provides friggin' good photoshoot locations if the weather permits, that is. I could go climb the trees around Sorsapuisto and hnng, so many possibilities! <3

...
...
Oh, I have one surprise though!
I will actually take with me one more cosplay and that is....

Souji Okita from Rurouni Kenshin!
Why? Well, I will have a pre-Tracon (aka Friday) photoshoot with Anniilaugh as Battousai version Kenshin from the Tsuiokuhen OVA. This is basically the much longed for continuation of the photoshoot that we had back at Cosvision the follow-up that will feature more battle damage! >8D (we originally planned to have this shoot at Cosvision but ran out of time)

...

One thing though, I might change out of my Ibuki cosplay half-day or something, depending on if the contacts dry out or not. If they turn uncomfortable I will either change into some semi-casual gear for the rest of the con day or maybe take some other surprise cosplay. I really don't know.. we'll see if I have luggage space left for what when I start to pack my stuff...

But now I'm done with revealing my Tracon plans. See ya there!

150 followers giveaway – WINNERS!!

Hellou everyone!!

1st September has now ticked in and the 150 followers giveaway has thus come to a close. The only thing left now is to announce the winners and that's what I'll do now! Stay on your seats and let's get to it!
But first I want to give a big thank you to everyone who joined the giveaway (and even those who didn't but still follows my ramblings! :D) and I hope you are all looking forward to this announcement!
Thank you all for your continued support, I love you! <3 

Without much further talk I'll get straight to the point but first I need to mention a few things!
To pick the winners I used a random number generator online. The three first numbers that I got on the generator were the winners (first generated number won first prize, second number second prize etc) and the numbers I got I matched up with who posted the comment of the same number on the giveaway entry post. I got 18 comments in total, but some were of the same person because they forgot to mention their email or something so I didn't count doubles in; every person who entered only had one valid entry number and thus everyone had the same chances to win. :) No cheating here!

Okay, so... ~
*insert epic drumroll here*

Are you ready guys??! >8D
