Shiorins smithers456 Hi Shiorins, Thanks for posting. I have been to Youmacon over the years and I want to go to Anime Central someday. I Love Chicago. How was Anime Central when you went? I'm not the best Cosplayer either but it's your Love of the character that counts the most. If you need any tips on Cosplay Outfits feel free to contact myself or Vice Captain Angelmage99. Feel free to check out the Tutorial Sub Forum for even more Cosplay tips. Two of my favorite series are Fruits Basket and Demon Slayer. Hello!!! I went to Youmacon sooooo long ago LOL I think it was 09 when I went. One of my first anime cons but also the con where I fell in love with anime cons. Anime Central is pretty cool! I'm going again this weekend actually LOL It's definitely busy, It has a big con atmosphere but still has the coziness of a small con? I like going cause it's probably the biggest con industry-wise in the midwest (but Youmacon is slowly overtaking that so who knows how long they'll keep it up). But don't be fooled, you still have to do the 3 hour line wait for any of the popular panels. I'll keep in mind to reach out if I have cosplay questions. (Though I almost always have questions and just suffer in silence). I looooove Fruits Basket! Demon Slayer is good too! biggrin (I didn't know if I should respond in the thread or in a DM or a comment so if the conversations needs to direct somewhere else let me know) Hey I'm Angelmage99, Please please feel free to ask me anything. I really want people to feel like they can suceed in cosplay and I love being part of the process of helping out. If you don't see a cosplay list, tell me and I whip one up ASAP.

Mm yes giving internet strangers personal details. Used to enjoy answering Q&As like this, still do but as much as I want to overshare, imma keep some more vague.

A common eye colour in this part of the world.

Nope.

Used to have piercings I didn't ask for, no longer have them.

Hard to answer, I like various colours that are softer and/or muted. Easier to figure out my least liked colour, which is purple.

Self-indulgent fence-sitting overthinking wordplaying maximalist
21. Do you like to travel? Where would you like to travel to?
Not really a travel person, not because I don't enjoy it but because I'm often overly anxious about planning itineraries and worrying about too many things I'm unfamiliar with, and that it costs money. Disregarding those, I enjoy exploring cities solo, and I'm addicted to the UFO catchers in Tokyo. I keep dreaming of UFO catchers every now and then.

hard to think of one spontaneously

A lot over the years.
29. Have you ever been to a convention before? Which one(s)? If not, would you like to?

30. Have you ever cosplayed? What were they? If not, would you like to and What would they be?
Used to, stopped in 2012. If I were to start again I have ideas but I'm not sharing.

Hikaridranz Mm yes giving internet strangers personal details. Used to enjoy answering Q&As like this, still do but as much as I want to overshare, imma keep some more vague. Greetings Hikari, I really liked your answers to the questionnaire. It's the most unique one I have ever read. Yes in these times unfortunately we have to be very careful with private info. Share as much, as little, or no info about you at all. Consider this Guild a Safe Place no worries. Of course I can't vouch for Gaia Online itself. It's been kind to me over the years. The same goes with links to other places from here to the internet. If you like what you read on a thread, you could write down what it's about and check out the info on your own. Hikari you don't have to click on any links. If you have any questions about anything in the Guild feel free to send me a message. A lot of the tutorial links are to You Tube. I don't know how you feel about You Tube. Venture as you would want too safely.
