Well, I figured I might as well start this thread before anyone else does. I'll be updating things closer to the con. But yeah... Here's the Otakon 2009 Gravitation gathering thread. It's just a baby now, but in time it will grow up to be big and strong.
GATHERINGS
Friday
3pm
4th floor
Saturday
5pm
4th floor
NOTICE (3-26-09):
I don't really know how to say what I'm feeling without coming off as angry (on the contrary, I'm actually upset, mostly with myself really, and trying not to cry). I was attempting to prevent any complications like what happened last year by having our gatherings be pretty solid ahead of time so there was no confusion. I got in trouble for letting people change the location at the last minute and some people either didn't make the gathering, couldn't find it or showed up late. I got a severe ear lashing, despite not making the decision to move and I was very much hurt. As that was the case, my plan was to make sure that these times and this place was fine for the gatherings, and I'd had no complaints, those are good times, everyone from last year agreed and as it will be indoors there's no chance of smoke bothering anyone. Unfortunately, this means I'm getting a lashing about not being flexible. I honestly try my very best to do what will work out the very best for the gathering in the end, as a majority. I'm on the verge of a mental break down, I'm really sorry, I'm trying so hard to make this as simple and easy as possible and it's obviously not working. I'm sorry.
Rules:
1. Unlike the creator of the last Gravi thread, I will check this thread and update regularly.
2. We will discuss time and place in this thread. However, when we come up with the best compromise my word is final and I will NOT change anything once we've set our gatherings.
3. I, FireBlackDragon/Amber, will lead the gathering. So PLEASE leave any at-the-gathering decisions up to me. However, I do NOT plan on making any last minute changes at the con.
4. Don't just randomly shout for people to do certain poses, group shots, etc. Leave that to ME as well (we'll discuss this more in the thread later). Once we've gotten all the "general" posing out of the way, by all means, ask ME to direct the gathering/specific cosplayers for whatever photo ops you want. Once the gathering has dispersed/ended you can consult any of the cosplayers on your own.
5. We will wait ten minutes for any slackers before starting the gathering/photoshoot.
6. Most important rule: HAVE FUN! (And don't be rude to anyone, please, please, we all try to do our best.)
7. No actual smoking please.
~Amber
Cosplayers:
FBD (me) - Fujisaki (both days)
Irenthel - Yoshiki
Ryu_chan - Ryuichi (Saturday)
KIMISHI - Shuichi (both days)

(No date/time/local or rules set yet.)
~Amber/Dragon/Iruka/Noriko/Whatever Else People Have Been Calling Me~
I'm probably going to pull the Tatsuha/Ryuichi thing again.
My Shuichi want's to put together a group of Raver versions of Bad Luck and Nittle grasper for the rave shoots
fireblackdragon
08-20-2008, 07:32 PM
You mean when the ravers meet up? That's cool. I plan on re-doing Noriko's shirt and I'll have the wig ready this coming year.

o-o you know im going to be there :3 as ryuichi hehe :3 i miss you guys already ;.; ::huggles all::

=D I'm planning to do a Ryuichi cosplay for Otakon 2009!!! and I might have a friend coming as K!! =D
Irenthel
08-20-2008, 11:25 PM
Heeeey, fireblackdragon! Funny seeing you here.
I'm am most certainly going to bring Yoshiki next year, because I finally found the perfect wig. Maybe I'll even make a Rikku plushie. =DD
fireblackdragon
08-21-2008, 07:19 AM
o_O OH EM GEE, I would love you forevers if you did that Irenthel!
But I really want a Tatsuha... *sniffles*
Oh man, we need a K! For reals!
I'm also considering doing Rage instead of Noriko... If I can get one of my friends to dress like a robot panda...
Irenthel
08-21-2008, 12:28 PM
Hey, if nothing else, you can make a plushie! And then we'll run up to the Shuichi's and bop them with our plushies and yell "Botherbotherbotherbotherbother!"
Okay, so maybe not. XDDDD
fireblackdragon
08-21-2008, 12:37 PM
I've always wanted to "botha" someone. But I just realized Rage has pretty short hair and I'm not brave enough to try a short haired wig yet. Plus I gotta use the one I got or mom will kill me for "wasting" $40.
Irenthel
08-21-2008, 12:39 PM
Short wigs aren't very expensive, and putting hair into the wig cap is less difficult than it may seem. I'd be willing to help joo!
fireblackdragon
08-21-2008, 01:04 PM
I meant mom would be mad if I didn't use the wig I bought for Noriko which was $40. So I have to be Noriko at least once with that wig. I have to bleach it yet though (well, I'm going to bleach streaks in it so it'll look somewhat closer to her actual hair color). Damn wig company... see if I buy there again... -_-
But I will certainly put Rage on the back burner. ^_^
Irenthel
08-21-2008, 01:15 PM
Eeep, be careful with that! I'm not entirely sure how well bleaching a wig will go, but.... Meep. Check Katie Bair or the Wig and Hair forums first. Also, where'd you get the wig?
fireblackdragon
08-21-2008, 01:17 PM
Cosworx.
Oh yeah, no, I'm going to test just the tip of a small strand (this wig is frickin' long, if I have to trim the tips it's not going to make a big difference).
Irenthel
08-21-2008, 01:25 PM
Bad wig from Cosworx?! o_o
And thank god, I was so worried.
fireblackdragon
08-21-2008, 08:39 PM
The wig isn't bad, the customer service was. I got the wrong color and I was willing to pay the price to have it returned for the color I wanted, but the company couldn't seem to get back to me (at the times I said I'd be available on their answering machine). *Shurgs* It'll be fine though.
fireblackdragon
08-21-2008, 08:43 PM
OH! I found pictures of our Angel Sanctuary gathering on someone else's cosplay.com site: http://www.cosplay.com/gallery/123514/p2
That gets me excited. ^_^
Okay... no more off topicness... *shifty eyes*
Irenthel
08-21-2008, 08:44 PM
Argh, yea, customer service bites. I sent an e-mail asking a question about a coupon my AOL account had deleted because it was sitting in my inbox so long, and they never responded. =(
And gah, I can't decide which outfit of Yoshiki's to do. My sanity says to just make her tank-top, and my irrational side says, "Hey, that outfit from the beginning of EX is super cute!" v.v
fireblackdragon
08-21-2008, 08:57 PM
Hum... Well, you do have a whole year to do it. ^_^ Maybe you should do the tank-top outfit as a back up?
ShinigamiKaitou
08-21-2008, 09:01 PM
I'm definately doing Tatsuha but I like wearing my Bunny suit, plus I like stripping out of it and it's like suddenly TATSUHA OHSHI~ from the Ryuichis XD
Irenthel
08-21-2008, 09:25 PM
Heh, I'll leave it up to if I can find those shoes. XDD
fireblackdragon
08-22-2008, 09:47 AM
I'm definately doing Tatsuha but I like wearing my Bunny suit, plus I like stripping out of it and it's like suddenly TATSUHA OHSHI~ from the Ryuichis XD
YAY!!! *Hugs* We need to get pictures of you and Yuki together then. And some more with Ryus surrounding you and you looking very overwhelmed (or... worn out? o_O)!

XD oh yeah... hmm overwhelmed, worn out... or completely happy-spaz? XD because if Tatsuha ever saw multiple Ryuichi's he'd probably have the worlds biggest fangasm XD
fireblackdragon
08-22-2008, 07:33 PM
He SO would. =^^= Makes me wish I could pull off Ryu... *ish sad*
Irenthel
08-22-2008, 08:15 PM
Ryuichi is so evil-awesome. =3
Wouldn't it be great if we had a Maiko to bring us lunch? Cosplaying makes me hungry. ^_^;;
fireblackdragon
08-22-2008, 09:07 PM
LOL. Man, I was a little torn when I saw how demented Ryu got in EX... But then he called Tatsuha his pet and I was happy again. XD
Ugh... no food. I ate an entire Special Dark Hershey bar today... *tummy gurgles*
Irenthel
08-22-2008, 09:32 PM
Ryuichi's a teeeeeensy bit unstable. ^_^;; But we all love him.
Oh god. *teases* I hope you know that the blood, sweat, and tears of poor African children went into that chocolate bar. X3
fireblackdragon
08-24-2008, 06:38 AM
O_O Sweat and tears?!
fireblackdragon
08-24-2008, 06:40 AM
Ryuichi's a teeeeeensy bit unstable. ^_^;;
I think that's what we'd call an understatement.
BatBowTie
08-24-2008, 12:08 PM
I could possibly pull off Ryuichi again.... but like... man.. I can't even think of Otakon cosplays right now xD; I'm thinking too much about Zenkaikon.. and then Katsucon and the skit I want to do there. =x The only thing I really know that I want to do at Otakon is a solo dance... but that would really have nothing to do with Gravi... *wastes peoples' time and goes off subject*
... ^_^; But yeah...
Irenthel
08-24-2008, 01:08 PM
*squee* I love Ryuichi and his insanity. =3
Also.... I seem to have found the shoes on Amazon. ;_; And the cuff bit can be put down or kept up, so I could use them for my Belial cosplay, too. God, I'm so hopeless... >_>
Ryu_chan
08-24-2008, 07:56 PM
ryuichi is loved by all :3
I needs to redo my ryu shirt anyways o-o
I am Shu-chan
08-24-2008, 09:14 PM
Hallo! ^_^ This is Kaitou's Shuichi speaking! I will be Shuichi again (obviously), but I haven't decided how to tweak it yet. And as she said, I want to do the raver versions of Bad Luck and Nittle Grasper. I have my costume for it done, and if she can make it this year I'll have a raver Hiro.
fireblackdragon

OMG! I forgot to tell you that I saw your Otakon skit! I was so excited when I heard "BatBowTie." I literally went "I KNOW THAT PERSON!!" And the chick next to me gave me a weird look (she was a little odd though...).
I feel you. I'm kind of like... Katsucon? Huh? Oh... Nope, no planned cosplays. I'm just grabbing whatever is already finished from other cons and looks half decent. ^^; Noriko won't return till Ota 09 though. I'm going to re-do her shirt but that will have to wait till summer when I'm not in school. ^_^;
Right now I'm in a panic about what to pack for my dorm. I leave for Towson Uni the 28th. I never thought I'd be excited to get a dorm (they don't look all that glamorous, you know?) but I am... o_0; Wish me luck guys!!
fireblackdragon
08-27-2008, 08:35 AM
UPDATE! (if anyone cares and junk) Hopefully this coming Otakon will be more organized now.
Irenthel
08-27-2008, 09:11 AM
You're cosplaying DOROTHY to Katsucon?! Please don't hurt me with your eyebrows! And good luck leaving for college!
fireblackdragon
08-27-2008, 09:14 AM
THANKS! I go tomorrow! o.O I can't really believe it!
Yes... Dorothy has been a very secret dream cosplay of mine. I don't think I've ever told anyone that I secretly have a girl crush on Dorothy. I can't resist the eyebrows of doom! XD Those should be fun to try and re-create. ^^;
Also I want to find a Quatre and beat him down. *Evil smirk*
Irenthel
08-27-2008, 09:30 AM
I just started college today. Meep. It's kinda freaky.
Dorothy scares me! XDD Try not to get your ass kicked by Trowa for messing with his boyfriend. =P
fireblackdragon
08-27-2008, 11:39 AM
O_O BAH! DX I like DorothyxQuatre. Because I think Dorothy is more masculine than Trowa. XP (Although I think DuoxQuatre would be interesting... Don't ask how I came up with this.)
Oh man, if I get Dorothy done, I'm so wearing her for Otakon too. I hope there's another Gundam gathering. ^_^ I should consider making her dueling sword too... Hum... So many thoughts...
Irenthel
08-27-2008, 01:18 PM
Awww, poor Trowa! (And don't you go ruining my happy DuoxHeero pairing! Raaawr!)
You don't NEED the sword if you have the EYEBROWS! XP
fireblackdragon
08-27-2008, 02:46 PM
Shouldn't, but who knows if anyone remembers her?
Irenthel
08-27-2008, 03:00 PM
Why wouldn't anybody remember her? O_o
fireblackdragon
08-27-2008, 05:12 PM
Unno... She wasn't that big a deal in like... the first half of the show. Plus, they cut her part in the movie (I watched to OVA and I was like "What the hell?! Why wasn't THIS the movie?! Dorothy was kickass in this! That's messed up...")
ShinigamiKaitou
08-27-2008, 07:56 PM
I know D: I'd totally spaz if I saw a dorothy cosplayer! :3 she was pretty badass(and insane, but that just makes her more fun)
fireblackdragon
08-27-2008, 08:17 PM
It's settled, I'll at least have her done by Otakon. I saw a pretty decent looking and cheap wig that would work for her at a store recently. ^_^
ShinigamiKaitou

My camera fails. X3 there's more pics but.... I kinda made the Yuki special for the shuichi XD;;; so I don't think thay'd be appropriate.

08-29-2008, 06:06 AM
Aww, that's so adorable. X33

Make sure you keep a hold of him. (See rule number 8.)
I am Shu-chan
08-30-2008, 07:22 PM
Oh I will! ^___^ I even took him to the movies with me last night.
(Oh...and scratch what I said a few posts ago about having a Hiro...she and my other so called best friend decided to dump me as a friend...which is incidentally what lead to Kaitou making my the plushie. ^___^ I still LUVS you for that Katie-chan. He makes me giggle when I remember whats in his pants.)
fireblackdragon
08-30-2008, 07:23 PM
Omahgosh! I'm sorry about that. So you guys like, had a falling out?
I am Shu-chan
08-30-2008, 07:33 PM
No. They decided that I was "an immature, anime-obsessed girl with no priorities". Unfortunately for them, everyone else who know me disagrees. That and they said they were tired of caring.
It's alright though. I mean...obviously they've changed for the worst if they were willing to throw away 7 years of friendship for no good reason. (And my mom [who knows both of them as well as she knows me] says that they are just as obsessed with Harry Potter as I am with anime and therefor have no right to judge me on that)
...Sorry for the rant. ^^;;
fireblackdragon
08-30-2008, 07:57 PM
No, it's fine, I asked. XD Yeah, I've been kind of downing myself for being so into anime. Like, my closest friends aren't into the SAME anime as me (or as much of it either). So I kind of wish I had more close friends who were more like me. I mean... I'm not a dude/typical "dork" who's into anime and video games and comics... But I'm also kind of... dare I say... a "preppy" girl? I guess it's weird to want to have a sense of my own style AND like not-so-popular-with-the-Barbie-doll-girls stuff too.
I am Shu-chan
08-30-2008, 08:13 PM
I see nothing wrong with liking what you like. It doesn't matter if your the preppiest or most emo kid in the world. As long as you like it, you enjoy it, it doesn't hurt you, and you come up for air once in a while, then no one has any right to be down on you for it...including yourself, ne? ^_^ And you can always make more friends to go along with the ones you already have. I mean...friends are like shoes. You can never have too many. (Same rule applies to anime of course ^_~)
Irenthel
08-30-2008, 08:45 PM
Hey, happiness is important! I agree with Shu-chan up there.

We have quite a few preppy-ish girls in our anime club and they have just as much fun as us total dorky nuts do :3 one of them's a former cheerleader for crying out loud. Wish you lived closer. We're planning on a random mall cosplay invasion.
As for the plushy, I thought a cheer up paired with the ultimate random snort would be best, so yes, Yuki plushie has th anatomyXD
Back on topic, should I do OVA voodo candle headband Tatsuha again or should I try one of his other outfits?
BatBowTie
08-31-2008, 01:02 PM
OMG! I forgot to tell you that I saw your Otakon skit! I was so excited when I heard "BatBowTie." I literally went "I KNOW THAT PERSON!!" And the chick next to me gave me a weird look (she was a little odd though...).
Haha.. well awesome!!! I'm glad that at least one person in the audience knew who I was!!! lol x3 I was the one who played Ryuk ^_~
Lol.. D= Ryuk doesn't wanna be a pokemon....
And.. also.. half of the chin on my mask broke off, no joking, like.. five minutes before I had to go on stage. But it was fine the entire time before that O_o
Anyway... back onto the Gravi topic =3 I'm thinking of switching up my Ryuichi cosplay for next year ^^ I wanna do the one where he's dressed in all leather.... bwahaha
I am Shu-chan
08-31-2008, 06:48 PM
Kaitou: I like the voodoo one. ^_^ Hey! Maybe you should make a warped version of him XD Like when you were my partner in crime
fireblackdragon
08-31-2008, 06:52 PM
Thanks guys! I feel better now. ^_^
OMGOSH! I want to see leather clad Ryu... o_o
I think that I'm going to take a hiatus (sp? damn IE doesn't spell check for me... -_-) from the Otakon forums pretty soon. I mean, I don't have anything to update about this thread right now and I know everyone's excited because Ota just ended. I think it's about time to take a break, for me (plus I have AUSA plans to make), don't worry I'll peek in now and then and I won't leave the gathering hanging. I think it's pretty normal for the threads to go weeks on end without any posting.
I'll be around for any emergency questions or such. But by all means, keep up the anime/Otakon/Gravi talk. The thread needs love too.
PM me if you want to IM sometime or whatever. ^_^
Irenthel
08-31-2008, 06:56 PM
XDDD What is this "taking a break because there are no costume updates" thing you speak of? It sounds so... so strange. Or maybe I'm just used to the Hellsing thread. =3
fireblackdragon
09-01-2008, 08:14 AM
I said I'm taking a break, silly!! Actually, it's mostly because of school. I get distracted easily; I have to put off my usual websites so I can focus on my school work. So it's not just coscom, don't feel left out. lol. Plus... I've done like... NOTHING with Noriko at the moment (dying to style and dye my wig... but no time).
SCHOOL TOMORROW!! GAH!!! *Gonk*

10-16-2008, 01:52 PM
Oh wow, I kind of forgot about my own thread! ^^; How are everyone's plans going? I'm afraid I won't have time to work on Noriko until the summer thanks to living at school most of the week and working on the weekends. ^_^ Otherwise I don't really have any other solid cosplay plans for Otakon (well, Iruka is a given if you've seen me on the Naruto threads).
Irenthel
10-16-2008, 02:00 PM
Ah, vhat about Alexiel? =P
Quick question for ya'll here, though. I've always thought of Yoshiki's hair as a light sandy brown color, and I don't think we have any actual color pictures of her. Opinions on her hair color?
fireblackdragon
10-16-2008, 06:38 PM
Hum... Alexiel... Depends on if I get to stay in a hotel or not I suppose. Or more importantly: if I have the moving wings made by then and want to bring them.
I always thought of him/her/it as a blonde, kinda of like... the "typical" tranny blonde. ^^; I know, I'm terrible.

Holy snizz! I nearly forgot my own thread! How's everyone doing?
Well, just so you know, I'm getting my gathering leadership training in. Thanks to AUSA and my up coming Angel Sanct. gathering at Katsucon.
I'm currently working on Dorothy Catalonia's White Fang uniform for Katsucon (and possibly Otakon), so nothing much is going into Noriko at the moment. No worries, come summer things will move quicker.
I have a lot of tests next week. Wish me luck!!

Wow guys! The list for Otakon's gatherings is already started?! Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get an idea of when we want to meet... Saturday will be the single most busy day for gatherings. So I was hoping maybe we could consider Friday or Saturday morning (not too early).
But the most important thing: How's everyone coming on their costumes?! ^_^ I'm considering changing my Noriko cosplay to her other outfit (sans showing the mid-drift).

Also, I liked just spraying my hair purple, but would it be best to do a wig?
Irenthel
01-05-2009, 10:55 PM
Do a manga outfit, Dragon~! 8D
fireblackdragon
01-07-2009, 03:42 PM
OH! That's a good idea!! Heh, good thing I didn't give the manga back to Glenn. XD
I did a quick photobucket search just now. What do you guys think of these outfits?:

2. http://media.photobucket.com/image/nittle%20grasper/nemoki/laliho21.jpg?o=15
(Might be hard since I don't know what bottoms she's wearing and she doesn't have her quintessential pigtails.)

4. http://media.photobucket.com/image/nittle%20grasper/Zak_Morgan/Cosplay%20Images/ep10135.jpg?o=34
(No pigtails with this one either.)

The orange one is smexy. Lookit those boots!
fireblackdragon
01-08-2009, 06:23 PM
I am partial to that one too. I was thinking I could do my own hair up like in number 2 and just spray my hair purple again. Still, I'll flip though the manga... eventually.
Irenthel
01-09-2009, 07:01 PM
Try eBay for wigs. I can link you the good sellers if ya want.

Oh, hay, I just amembered. Anybody know a site I can get a good horse head mask at? >8D
Also, I'm demanding pictures with Yuki being a-scurred of me. ;D
MajinCrystalia

D= as a Yuki cosplayer I will not indulge you with that information.

02-05-2009, 10:12 AM
I might bring Tohma again, depends
fireblackdragon
02-05-2009, 02:05 PM
YAY! And maybe my Tohma will return this year. ^_^
MajinCrystalia
02-05-2009, 02:12 PM
So many Tohma cosplayers @_@. Am I like the only male gravitation cosplayer?

Was it me?
MiaYagyu
02-11-2009, 12:37 PM
Actually, you won't be, Majin~!
I'm pulling Hiro out of retirement and bringing him back. My friend (Lil Shu, if you guys remember her from Otakon 06) will be bringing Suitcase Shuichi, and her bf will be Yuki.
Even though Lil Shu and her bf will pretty much be in Gravi cosplay all con, I'll only be in Hiro on Friday.
Hope to see y'all there! If you want help planning times, let me know. I planned the JRock shoots for the past two years and helped with the Gravi times back in 06.
MajinCrystalia
02-11-2009, 12:40 PM
Depends on if I get in shape or not. I MIGHT bring him. I DO have my Shuichi plushie signed by you know who. (Gravi's mommy) Since I don't have anyone who does Shuichi.
MiaYagyu
02-11-2009, 01:08 PM
Yea, I have my Kuma signed by Murakami-sensei still sitting on my shelf ^_^
I hope you get it pulled together! I know Ji (Lil Shu's bf) would love to have another male Yuki cosplayer around. He wonders sometimes if he's the only guy that watches Gravi....xD
MajinCrystalia
02-11-2009, 01:10 PM
Nope. Did I meet them last year? But yeah apparently my Shuichi was the first plushie she signed at otakon. She didn't even know those Puppy Shuichi plushies existed! XD Now.....I need to pick up a blazer...
FuzzyLlamaChan
02-11-2009, 04:26 PM
Ne...I'll be doing Ryuichi Sakuma on Friday...and possibly Saturday/Sunday for Otakon this year...so I look forward to meeting you all! =D
MiaYagyu
02-11-2009, 04:44 PM
idk, you might have? I retired my OVA Hiro outfit in 07, so I'm not sure. But Lil Shu was the short dark skinned Shuichi running around. If you seen her, then you know who I'm talking about. She's only about 4'9. She wore the long yellow trenchcoat Shuichi outfit last year.
Here's (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y258/SukebanMiaYagyu/Otakon%202007/Pics%20others%20took/otakon01030.jpg) the best pic of her. And here's (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y258/SukebanMiaYagyu/Otakon%202007/Friday/101_0324.jpg) the best pic I could find with her bf in it. ^_^

02-24-2009, 06:30 PM
I kinda like friday eveningish...
I am Shu-chan
02-24-2009, 06:41 PM
Friday Eveningish is my vote too. Fourth floor maybe? It's probably the easiest place to find.
fireblackdragon
02-24-2009, 06:44 PM
Two votes for Friday, well, three, cuz I vote Friday too. I would prefer to only hold one gathering. So let's all attempt to agree. WEWT? *cheesey thumbs up*
fourth floor is fine with me. Anywhere is better than outside.
Irenthel
02-24-2009, 09:05 PM
D: Could we maybe have a shoot on Saturday, too, for those of us who can't make the Friday one. I'm willing to head a Saturday shoot. o.o;;
fireblackdragon
02-24-2009, 09:09 PM
Sure thing.
Ryu_chan
02-24-2009, 09:30 PM
Im up for a Gravishoot again :3 Dont know when the Weiss Kreuz one will be but Im sure whenever you decide we can make it ^^
ShinigamiKaitou
02-24-2009, 09:32 PM
RYUUUUU-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN *tackles* As for a saturday shoot...I might go to both depending on times!
Hasn't-a-name
02-25-2009, 04:48 PM
Sweetness! Friday works, we have to be at .Hack shoot on Saturday. As for location, I'm fine with whatever you guys decide...fourth floor works.
I am Shu-chan
02-25-2009, 05:16 PM
Like Kaitou, depending on times I may be able to make a Saturday shoot.
fireblackdragon
02-25-2009, 11:18 PM
I'm making fourth floor the official location, period. XD
And we will have a Friday and Saturday shoot. I'll probably go to both, but I'll only be Noriko at one.
Now... let's discuss times...
Irenthel
02-26-2009, 08:33 AM
Hmm, Saturday.... I vote for about 5 PM. Anybody else?
fireblackdragon
02-26-2009, 12:58 PM
5pm on Saturday works for me. The Naruto gathering is at 2pm, that gives me time to change if need be. (I pray the Gundam gathering isn't that day and time though, if it is, ya'll are on your own, lol.)
Irenthel
02-26-2009, 02:33 PM
Speaking of which, we need to schedule a time for the Angel Sanct. shoot. XDDD
I am Shu-chan
02-26-2009, 04:15 PM
Fourth floor, 5pm on saturday's good for me. Are we doing one Friday too? If we are, where and when?
fireblackdragon
02-26-2009, 07:54 PM
Should we have it at a different location than the Saturday gathering?
I am Shu-chan
02-26-2009, 08:01 PM
I think 4th floors still fine...it's the easiest place to find. I asked 'cause I wasn't sure if you wanted to do elsewhere.
fireblackdragon
02-26-2009, 08:28 PM
I actually really wanted to have the gathering in front of the fountains (NOT the ones outside or on the terrace, in the entrance area). Because I like that as a back drop. But I foresee issues (i.e. people complaining about it being crowded).
I am Shu-chan
02-26-2009, 08:31 PM
I think we had the Saiyuki shoot where you're thinking...It was really crowded.
Irenthel
02-26-2009, 09:25 PM
It is quite crowded there. Maybe that area to the side of the fountains, outside? o.o
fireblackdragon
02-26-2009, 09:56 PM
No, we're not doing an outside thing, God forbid. =_=;; Too many issues/arguments/complaints.
Fourth floor it is!! Huzzah!
ShinigamiKaitou
02-26-2009, 10:31 PM
The fourth floor is awesome. We should probably post it in the shoots thread so people know...
fireblackdragon
02-26-2009, 10:54 PM
Once we figure out a time for Friday I will post them in the gatherings thread.
ShinigamiKaitou
02-26-2009, 10:58 PM
What about three? be the reverse of Saturday with the naruto gathering? Either that or 7ish...
Hasn't-a-name
02-28-2009, 09:04 AM
I agree with Kaitou, three sounds good.

I will make it official tonight, just to give others more time to check the thread.

Any mistakes made to the gathering day/time in the official list has been fixed. I know there are a lot of Gravi people who are also going to be going to the Naruto gatherings (myself included). So I'm glad it got all straightened out so there wasn't any panicking.
Our Gravitation gatherings are still:
Friday
3pm
4th floor
Saturday
5pm

There's a massive lack of males for anime based around males >_>
Irenthel
03-13-2009, 12:30 PM
True. XD I'll see if I can bother my boyfriend into cosplaying Eiri.
Cororu
03-13-2009, 12:30 PM
If I can lose the weight by then, I'll see if I can do something Gravi-like =P
fireblackdragon
03-14-2009, 06:46 PM
True. XD I'll see if I can bother my boyfriend into cosplaying Eiri.
EEEE!! YAY! I'm in your icon! XD Grumpy Alexiel is grumpy!
And I believe that last year we had a total of three actual males at our gathering... out of like... a dozen of us. XD And I was the only female dressed as a female character... (YAY NORIKO!)
Irenthel
03-14-2009, 07:28 PM
XDDD Your Setsuna face makes me laugh every time I see it.
And funny how most yaoi cosplayers are girls. Especially when they do heavy yaoi photoshoots. It's like, "ai c ur curves thar, u r not foolin meh..."
Cororu
03-14-2009, 09:47 PM
As a male, it'd be nice to see another yaoi male cosplayer >_> After all, it's kind of awkward for everyone if I started walking up to EVERY guy I saw and asked, "You's ghey!?"
fireblackdragon
03-14-2009, 10:20 PM
lol, my Setsuna face. I really HAVE been working hard on that pouty look of his!
My friend Joey likes cosplaying as Tohma, if it's any consolation. I've never had the urge to cosplay the male characters from Gravitation. Well... I thought about Hiro once, but I'd need to get my hair professionally straightened... Or dye one of my wigs cuz, honestly, I love you guys, be Gravitation isn't my all time favorite anime to cosplay from, let alone drop the moneys for. XD
MiaYagyu
03-21-2009, 01:44 PM
I hear about the dropping money part. My Robin cosplay is going to be Expensive~. But, to sew Hiro's cheetah print shirt and to re-find his wig (my friend destroyed my old one...T_T), is going to be more money.
Plus, I'm helping Lena with her Suitcase Shuichi outfit. Found the suitcase, just gotta cut the holes in it and spray paint it yellow.
I'll only be able to make the Friday night shoot, but Lena and Ji might be able to make the Saturday shoot. And, just out of curiosity, why not the 3rd Floor Outdoor Terrace? I've had several successful shoots there and no one's really had an issue with it. Also, what are you going to do if someone BIG comes in for an autograph session or a concert during the scheduled photoshoot times. IMO, I wouldn't have made final times this early out.
MajinCrystalia
03-21-2009, 01:49 PM
I don't think I'll have time to pull out Yuki this year anymore.
fireblackdragon

So, are you dead set on plans, or is there any room for changing?
I am Shu-chan
03-23-2009, 06:41 PM
Pretty much everyone's setting times now though.
ShinigamiKaitou
03-23-2009, 06:46 PM
>.> I know I'm perfectly happy with what we have right now but if people want to change I probably won't be able to make any of the shoots since a good 3/4 of the others are set, I know a few other people with the same issue.
fireblackdragon
03-23-2009, 09:10 PM
The times/dates/local are all FINAL. I've said it before and it says it on the first post. Nothing's being changed, period. I'm not getting barked at again for anything being changed. Sorry.
I am Shu-chan
03-24-2009, 05:01 PM
Perfectly fine by me. ^_^ It's nice to know that it's not going to change last minute again. It was a pain tracking down the shoot last year.
MiaYagyu
03-24-2009, 10:13 PM
Yea, and you watch, as soon as the schedule's posted for the con, EBK's thread will be flooded with time changes.
And you don't have until the last minute to plan. I'm sure we're all going to be on here the week before when the schedule is posted. But, it's totally up to you. Just be ready that if something happens during the scheduled times, that majority of the crowd here won't show up.
Planning events is about being flexible and trying to make the majority work for everyone in the end, right? Just chill out and be ready to have fun, that's what these photoshoots are about right? It's not such serious business, really...
My two cents.
I am Shu-chan
03-25-2009, 05:46 PM
We're a small shoot so I don't think we'd have any trouble fitting into a random corner if that's what it came too. We should just accept the times for what they are and worry later if stuff ends up happening.
fireblackdragon
03-25-2009, 09:37 PM
If you can't make a gathering it's nothing to cry over. Spilled milk, darling, sorry. My friend has had to drop out of going to two of her gatherings because it would simply be overwhelming for her. Don't try to kill yourself to try to make all the gatherings you want. There's always next year or next con, hon.
MiaYagyu
03-26-2009, 07:22 AM
Umm...excuse me? I never said I wouldn't be able to make it, I'm just saying you guys need to be more flexible and not OMG THIS IS THE TIME NO MATTER WHAT, DEAL WITH IT! Hon, I've planned way more gatherings and shoots than you can imagine. All of which I've had record amounts of people showing up because my times have been flexible.
I was just letting you know that if you set concrete times now, you should be prepared to be the only one showing up.
fireblackdragon
03-26-2009, 12:16 PM
*Shrugs*
I wasn't trying to be smart, I'm sorry if it sounded like that. I won't do it again. Having someone be mad at me is the last thing I want in the world. I've got no reason to do that. I'm really, honestly sorry I offended you.
I am Shu-chan
03-26-2009, 03:15 PM

03-26-2009, 03:31 PM
I don't even know if I'm going to get Noriko done at this point. I'll come and direct if nothing else. I'm just not feeling it right now. I take being yelled at to heart, and it feels weak right now.

Enough guys. It's my fault I let myself get stressed and upset. Just chill and don't worry about me, okay. I'm 22 years old, I should know by now that I can't please everyone. Just work on your costumes and do whatcha do. If I do get Noriko done it'll either be the manga version with her hair up or the same as last time, no wig (and probably no hair color). But I got really curlly hair so... that works, IMO.

What? XD How do you make that mistake? Lol. Tohma's not a girl...as far as I know :3

fireblackdragon
03-26-2009, 04:26 PM
Sure, why not? I'm still trying to get BOTH my gay boyfriends (yes, they're my boyfriends XD) to cosplay from Gravi. They've been wanting to, but last year Glenn forgot his pants for Shuichi, so I only had Joey as Tohma and he hadn't even planned on being Tohma! He was supposed to be Yuki! (We slapped his costume together in the hotel fifteen minutes before the gathering!! I'm NOT even kidding. We used the tape from my Anbu costume to make the suspenders and used Glenn's fedora which he brought for the rave!! XD)
I am Shu-chan
03-26-2009, 04:29 PM
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD Oh god. I might get him to be my Yuki then :) But wow. XD 15 minute cosplay FTW! (Pantsless Shuichi ftw too)
fireblackdragon
03-26-2009, 04:39 PM
And it was still an awesome costume!! What took the longest was getting the tape un-stuck from itself (it was used, so I'd had it crumpled up). I don't even remember how we found a tie... LOL!
YAY more Yukis!
MiaYagyu
03-26-2009, 06:39 PM

Well, I have officially changed BANDS. That's right, I'm going to be cosplaying as a member of Bad Luck instead of Nittle Grasper... I'm going to dress as Fujisaki! ^_^ That's right, so...

my cosplay plans always fall through on Thursday, so no, I won't be cosplaying Thursday.

That's unfortunate.

@FireBlack- Fujisaki! Finally someone's cosplaying him. I'm not sure if I can make Thursday either.

It's all good. It was just a suggestion, don't have to do it. ^_^ I'm probably going to get very hot. ^^;

Perfectly fine and spazzily random ^_^...and still working on my costume -sigh-
How bout you FBD?

I'm good. Sad that I haven't been able to work on my wig. It's not entirely my priority at the moment. But I was hoping to have one costume totally finished before I worked on the next. Exams and going to my cousin's wedding are getting in the way.... =_=;
I am Shu-chan
05-04-2009, 04:44 PM
Exams are evil and devour all possible spare time D: You have until July though, so I'm sure you'll get your wig done in time.
fireblackdragon
05-06-2009, 01:50 PM
Yeah, I'm not too concerned about THIS costume... *gonks at what else I must do first*
I am Shu-chan
05-06-2009, 08:47 PM
I feel that...-refuses to look at cosplay pile- Argh! I still need to start my Shuichi costume! That has to be done for Next @~@
fireblackdragon
05-06-2009, 10:11 PM
Yeah... And I have to get my friend's two shirts (for two different costumes) done before AMA... o_O;;

Yeah... I foresee a lot not getting done before AMA.

Ugh, I'm getting this thread off the third page, screw double posting.
Although, on a topic related note: the wig I got for Fujisaki is blond (I'll be dying/coloring it) so after I cut it down... it's going to look like Yuki's hair... Photo op before dye job anyone?! XD (I totally have glasses like Yuki to boot.)

I'm still cosplaying Hiro, just not sure about the outfit anymore. Funds are tight (due to a screw up from Katsu), so I might just bring his OVA outfit along instead.
But, I've got the bottom of the suitcase cut out for Lena's Suitcase Shuichi outfit. I've just got to cut out the hole for her face and arms and spray paint it, and viola, her outfit will be done.
Be sure to look for us~! On friday, there'll be a Yuki, a Shuichi in a suitcase, a Hiro, and a Ryuichi running around together. We might make the meetup.
fireblackdragon
06-05-2009, 08:22 PM
YAY! ^_^ Bad Luck can be all together! I must find my fellow band members! It sucks that I have no one else cosplaying with me. I doubt I could convince my friends to go again.
MiaYagyu
06-07-2009, 10:50 AM
Yea, I wouldn't cosplay Hiro if my friends weren't wanting to cosplay.
fireblackdragon
06-07-2009, 01:32 PM
:( My friends are fail... sometimes.

06-07-2009, 06:29 PM
Soooo.... Fujisaki (http://www.cosplay.com/costume/216463/) is pretty much done!!! ^_^
CLICK EEET!!!
I am Shu-chan
06-08-2009, 02:43 AM
Yay for Fuji-chan!!!! <3 ^_^ You shouldn't not cosplay something just 'cause your friends aren't. The first few times I did Shuichi I was on my own. On a topic related note, I'm getting my new Shuichi wig tomorrow :D The one I have is totally falling apart, and my costume will be done for Ota!!! -wiggles with joy- I've been trying to get it together since last summer.

I need to work on my figure if I want to do Yuki.
I look too stocky....

YAY wigs! XD
Orly, Majin? Will you join us as another Yuki?

You shouldn't not cosplay something just 'cause your friends aren't. The first few times I did Shuichi I was on my own.
I like doing group cosplays. And we have a few things planned out as a group. It wouldn't be as fun if I were doing it on my own. It just wouldn't feel right if Lil Shu and her bf didn't cosplay Shu and Yuki when I was cosplaying Hiro.
fireblackdragon
06-09-2009, 08:59 PM
If her BF didn't dress as Yuki, you should get her to dress as Ayaka and you could have been a couples cosplay. XD
MiaYagyu
06-11-2009, 05:38 PM
heck no. We both hate Ayaka. Imo, she's the worst character in the series.
fireblackdragon
06-11-2009, 07:57 PM
I ditto that. You think Maki purposefully made all the female characters totally obnoxious? (Although Noriko is the cute kind of obnoxious, like a female version of Ryu. I don't like Yuki's sister either, she's a BITCH. And Rage straight up needs riddlin.)
MiaYagyu
06-11-2009, 08:33 PM
It's a token trait of most things shonen-ai/yaoi. Almost all the girls in most shonen-ai mangas and animes are completely annoying! >.< Sometimes, they're all "OMG, GTFO off of my screen! You're so annoying~~!" lol
I realized the cheetah print outfit's a no go. I can't find the right fabric and I've got 20 million other things to pay for first, so I'm pulling Hiro's OVA outfit out of retirement.

Hey, Yoshiki is technically a girl, and she's not obnoxious.... ;_; Also, Maiko's really a sweetheart, but she stopped showing up after a while. XD
Also also, hiya! XD Been a while since I stopped by this thread.

Just because you aren't special needs doesn't mean you can't carry a stuffed animal around with you! What has the world come to with it's social constructs?!
ANYWAYS! Ryu is love. ^_^ Can't wait to see you there! XD

Haha well when I yell "Kumagoro Beam!!" and chuck my poor baby at my friends randomly.. I could understand why people may come to that conclusion! LOL!
Hehe Ryu is totally my god lol <3
Mhmmmz! Im looking foward to it =D
fireblackdragon
06-15-2009, 08:32 PM
O_O Are you SURE you've never cosplayed to Otakon? Because we had Bunny Suit Ryu who threw her Kumagoro at people yelling "Kumagoro beam!" That'd be an odd coincidence...

Hello everyone... I haven't posted here in forever. O.o' My Ryuichi cosplay is almost done! I have to put the design on my shirt though... might do that tomorrow... and I'm still working on a wig... >.<' But my friend loaned me her Kumagoro plushie today, so now I don't have to spend money on one (although I'll probably buy my own at the con anyway...heh) So yeah. I'll be running around on Friday as Ryu! <3 ^^

06-22-2009, 03:05 PM
YAY! And I dropped some costumes so I SHOULD be able to make it to all the Gravi shoots! XD

Oh, I won't be able to make the Friday shoot. Kanon Wakeshima's Q&A is during that time.
Sorry

Yeah, unfortunately I won't be there either... I'll be with MiaYagyu at Kanon's Q&A... Sorreh. >.<
