Hello Watchers~!

Skelzonefire here.

So, yes, hello. I am here. I want to show off my amazing new hair for Halloween can I get a hell yeah?!

 

I'm extremely happy with how it turned out and I feel super awesome. I'm also planning to do a comic book zombie idea for a zombie walk on Halloween ~ <3 So my hair will add towards the comic look hopefully. I anticipate my makeup and the day itself as I've never been in a zombie walk before *^*

 

Also in other news, I went to Bristol Anime Con last month and it was just phenomenal. It was always something that showed up in my feed and I never really considered going as it seemed alot like a ComicCon wannabe event but my friend had asked me if I was going to it when we were figuring out when to meet for the Alois photoshoot. Eventually, I ended up going on the Saturday with 3 or 4 or my friends. It was absolutely insane, I met so many awesome people and just had a huge amount of fun!

I also entered the cosplay Masquerade when I was there and I was in the line with a lot of really cool people. It was so much fun. Basically, you had to pick 3 poses and go up onto the stage. As bishy boy Alois, I had one where I exclaimed "Ole!" And had the whole audience screaming, another where I was leaning forward and showing off my butt and the third, I turned and wiggled my butt before turning back and giving his signature tongue and eye pulling pose ~

 

 

So many people were recognising me and complimenting my Alois (There was only 2 Alois' over the weekend and I was apparently the better Alois) And it was so nice, I'd forgotten how that felt. There were alot of pictures taken of me, and I don't think I got all of them back sadly but even one of the admins for the con was asking for commissions because of how well made my costume was.

The rest of the album is here if you wish to see it <3
 
I also met many people whilst I was there and especially one exceptionally special person ~ Now, this person isn't anybody I'd consider being in a relationship with, but she's more... a benefit friend. She's brightened my life alot recently, and also... left her mark on me alot... ~ She's not only an undeniably amazing hickey maker, but also a major cosplay fiend, who I hope to cosplay Ciel and Alois in Wonderland with soon! Doesn't she look amazing?



Recently... I've also suffered from some depression. For about 3 months or so and it's caused me alot of sadness and general hatred. I've lost alot of interest in school, social activities, eating and so forth. and Lucy... she's made life just that little bit more interesting and a little bit more worth living. She's gotten me anticipating the rest of the half term; she spoke of a surprise she has for me, and she's looking into making me my own personalised collar as I'm her "Kitten". It mostly makes me happier that I'm in a no strings attached kinda relationship with her. I don't have to stress over being in a relationship and keeping a stable mutual feeling with her, but I have the joy of somebody there for me to satisfy my feelings and keep my head up when I need it.

Going into school, I'm hoping soon to drop out of 6th form and move onto an apprenticeship in something like performing arts or music like the BBC or the Hippodrome. School, for me, is becoming my demise. My textiles class is like my own personal prison; nobody in the class dares speak to me, it's like I'm not even there and it petrifies me that I might do something wrong and they'll all look at me like I'm a fool. My art class sucks ass because it's main focus is observational drawing, which is my weakest and most hated subject ever. Plus the fact that I'm in a room full of Michaelangelos and Picassos. There's nothing like the confidence drop of being in my art class, no sir-ee. Music would be perfect, and it is such an amazing class to be in! Buuuuut there are two other singers in my class who are 10x better than me and not to mention, they're the popular girls, thus making me feel as though they're always condescending to me. Plus, no matter the amount of sleep I get, 1 hour or 10 hours, waking up is a worse struggle than waking up for secondary school. Whether that's because of my depression, I don't know.

Well, back up to the happier level! Me and my family have taken on the gaming side of YouTube! My mother and my sister have started up their own series with one of my sister's work friends Don playing The Forest, whilst I have taken to a solo playthrough of Overlord and a joint playthrough of ScribbleNauts with Don! We also spent tonight recording a good 2 hours worth of Don't Starve together; our first 3 way playthrough and it was amazingly funny and filled with awesome stuff! I'd love for you guys to support our channel, it'd be extremely appreciated!

Anyway, that is my update for now. Goodbye guys ~ ! <3

Hello Watchers~!

Skelzonefire here.
This was an entry I wrote the night of the concert, sorry it's so late.


 

Well, today has been exhausting.
I saw f(x) today, and Jesus, it was crazy.

To begin with, we spent the morning getting ready and such (I felt super awesome and pretty this morning omfg my makeup went just right) and we made our way down into the city at roughly 11:30.

(we were there for the whole weekend and had arrived the day before. I met my best friend Marc that day too! He piggy backed me all around London and bought me a bottle of milk bc I love milk <3).

  

The show started up at 12 so by the time we'd arrived, the first act had already finished I do believe.

We walked in and wow.

There was over maybe 200-500 people there already and it was so packed that you could hardly move. There were multiple tents opposite the stage which represented the different aspects of Korean culture. You could try on a hanbok and see specially designed modernised hanbok fashion in the K-fashion tent. You could listen to various Kpop albums and look at their albums in the K-Music tent and so on for the K-animation and K-games.

We made our way down the steps and into the crowd to make our way over to the Tourism zone and hand over our tickets for a possible trip to Korea but I was more interested in the show going on. They were showing at the time a traditional drum show and I took the chance to take out my camera and take a few pictures.

I can't properly remember what happened after that but I know I saw a space on the stairs further up when we were walking around to find my parents so I went off to sit myself down. I felt happy and content where I was as it was higher up and I could take nice pictures of f(x) (I was central and not too far so).

 

Around then it was the traditional Hanbok fashion show and I took a few pictures to see how they'd look with my new lens and from where I was.

I press the preview button, and what do I see? No memory card.

At this point, I begin to feel sick with worry, desperate to find an SD card in my camera bag but it wasn't anywhere. I felt both angry and frustrated and I wanted to cry but my parents said they'd see if they could find somewhere where SD cards were sold. Roughly 45 minutes later at around half past 2, they returned with a card and I put it in the camera... but it couldn't be read. Because our camera is so old, the biggest it could take was 2GB, which is rare as most SD cards are 8-32GB. I began asking around to see if anybody had a spare memory card but eventually, I began to lose all hope that I'd be able to take any decent pictures without being at least a meter from them. Also, people began to crowd where I was and was literally sitting on me and pushing into my space which only made me angrier and further upset with the heat and all too. My dad and my sister had found a place by a bench at the bottom of the stairs and my mum wanted to go down there. I wanted us all to stay together... but I didn't want to risk going to a place that offered less. Eventually, I got sick of sitting there crowded, on my own, signal-less and cameraless, keeping in mind I still had to wait another 4 hours, so at about half 3, I went down to where they were.

During this crazy 2 hour freak out, there was a traditional royal wedding dance of the King and the Queen and the outfits were just beautiful and they were all so graceful. Also, a B-Boy group called Jinjo Crew were performing an insanely complex breakdancing skit.

When I got to the place my dad had in mind, It was just perfect. We had the edge of a bench in which I could stand on and get a perfect view for pictures on (also my mum could stand on it to see as she's short and can't see very well over the crowds). But, I was still frustrated over my camera, and I felt depressed and regretful and idiotic. My sister had then spoken up about buying an umbrella to get some shade that we could go under. I spoke up to get out of the crowd and maybe have one last attempt at finding an SD card.

Boots; none.
A second Boots; none.
WHSmith; none.

We eventually stumbled upon an Argos. I was hoping and praying, hoping and praying, hoping and praying. Nothing.

My thoughts at this point went to a question I had at the back of my head; what SD card does a phone take? I open the back and *angels singing* it's a 2GB micro SD card. So, we bought a micro SD adapter in hopes it'd fit in the camera and I got back and scrEAMED WITH JOY BECAUSE OH MY GOD MY LIFE WAS SAVED. 650 pictures, ready to go. NOW.

A dance off had just begun as my and my dad returned so I took the chance to take some pictures of the dance off between the Jinjo Crew and UK B-Boy group Soul Mavericks. It was beautiful. So many fit bodies-- Sadly, the lens I used to zoom so far in with was damaged and caused almost a 3D effect on the majority of the pictures, the colour focus misaligned. I apologise in advance for this ><

   

A UK based fashion designer show was on after this at 4pm and the fashion was ridiculous-- my parents joked that the multicoloured suits were SHINee's from Dream Girl and that the geometric sportswear were inspired by Baymax.

   

After that, the K-Music section was upon us. On the big screens, a mashup of different music videos from Apink, EXO, SNSD, Big Bang and other groups was shown and I had that sudden realisation that; shit. Kpop is in London. This is real. And my heart skipped about 10 beats.

It was the K-Pop World Festival Champions performance and there were 3 performers, two dance groups and a singer. This was when I began to feel that sense of "this is what I've been waiting for" and when that 2NE1 beat kicked in for I Am The Best, I WENT CRAZY. EVERYONE in the crowd was singing along and it was just... insane thinking that the 1000+ people there knew Kpop. And all of them were in one area.

The first group was a pair and their dance was a mix of 2NE1, BIGBANG, 4Minute, CL and was heavily YG influenced. My parents couldn't get over how EVERYONE knew the songs, including me which was funny:'3

 

After was a singer called Tina Lau who did a mash up of 2NE1, BIGBANG and CL, she was pretty good.

Finally, was a group of about 4 girls who danced to Bang Bang Bang by BIGBANG. EVERYONE was jamming out to it and it got to the chorus and we all just dropped and jammed singing BANGBANGBANG! It was another world entirely, and I was stood on this bench just shooting the air like an idiot.

 

At this point, it was about 10 to 5, which was when f(x) was meant to be on. But, as we all got ready to cheer them on, the Jinjo Crew returned to do their dance again. We assumed it was because they were running late but even then, all of the groups returned to the stage to talk about Psy and Gangnam Syle before they played a video from him because he couldn't come. Then, they played it. And I tell you, 70% of the crowd starting gangnam styling their asses off. IT WAS SO AWESOME.

   

Now, this was it. We knew they couldn't stall any longer and they began talking about the thing we were obviously ALL waiting for. Then, behind the stage, we saw a head of blonde - Amber - scurry up the steps and into the side of the stage and we were all freaking out. "THAT WAS AMBER, THAT WAS AMBER!!" Soon followed the other 3 members and the presenter called out their name and on ran Amber singing Shake That Brass and just generally being her llama self on that stage. My sister started crying. My mum started crying. And I had my eye in the view finder the whole time. I much preferred it because they were far away so when I looked through the viewfinder, they were so much closer.

   
       
 

They performed 4 songs; Shake That Brass, RumPumPumPum, Hot Summer and Red Light. Ughhh they were all so gorgeous. They were dressed all in their Red Light music video wear and they were all so energetic and bright. They seemed speechless, and I would be too if it was my first time in London and so many people were there to see them.


Dats me.

It was... definitely something that I was sceptical about missing or attending. I mean, of course I enjoyed seeing the girls and watching them perform live, it was a phenomenal experience, I just don't know if 15 minutes of singing was worth 7 hours of sitting and standing in a people infested area in what felt like 50 degrees. I had an absolute blast in London overall, I just wish they'd have performed longer or it wasn't as hot that day.

After their performance we actually left, as did about 500 people, the shade omfg. But yes, we left and we decided we wanted food. My feet were in absolute agony, my skin was sore and burning and I had a sour mood on. We went after to the Rainforest Cafe; from previous experiences, it's NEVER worth the money to eat there, so the fact that we spent so much on food in a place we knew didn't impress us in the past egged on my sour mood. But, all was well when I found out I had a free dessert with my kids meal.

The day after was when we left and we stopped on the way back to do a bit of shopping as we hadn't bought ANYTHING when we were there. I bought myself a big fedora and my dad bought me a black thin sweater/thick shirt with Seoul and Japan and other city names on it. I was happy <3 And then finally we were home in our little city 4 hours away.

Also, the day after I had a modelling photoshoot which I thoroughly enjoyed in an outfit coorded with the new items! Alongside two separate ones. They gladly took me on as a model, I just had a pay for my portfolio, which we decided was too much and was very sketchy because you usually don't pay a penny for portfolios.

 

Thankyou all ~ !

Hello Watchers~!

Skelzonefire here.

Well... As I recently (recently... pft, my last post was over a month ago) spoke about my GCSEs, I figured now would be the time to tell you what it is that I got! I'm particularly satisfied with the outcome, obviously disregarding my science as I knew from the moment I took them that I'd fail.

Music BTEC: Distinction level 2
Art and Design: A
English Literature: B
English Language: B
DT Food: B
Mathematics: C
Biology: D
Physics: D
Chemistry: E

I got my B in my English! I'm so proud of that and I almost got an A in food, but I missed 3 MARKS. Of all things, and I miss 3 measly marks. The holidays have also come to an end; a week from today I'm going to be going into 6th form with my 4 chosen subjects: textiles, 3D art, art and design and music. From then on after the two years, I hope to take a Japanese course in Plymouth University.

I think what I most look forward to for these next two years in my college is that I get to express who it is I am as a person now through my clothing and through my chosen subjects without having to prioritise lessons such as maths or English. I'm getting a job soon as well so I hope to be making more money than just the £10 weekly I get from my family allowance. In this case; more J-fashion! I have PLENTY of saved pages and stores, alongside the support of my other J-fashion friends! I've also won alot of competitions recently with TokyoOtakuMode on Instagram, my most recent win a Pooh-chan bag with is just adorable, although I'm still waiting on it to arrive ~ I look forward to filling my cupboards and wardrobe to the brim with the likes of Listen Flavour, YRU, Milkim, KOKOpie and so forth! I actually also recently applied for a model position for KOKOpie because some of their clothing is so cute and wacky, so I hope I get the placement!

My fashion has stretched further recently with more extravagant styles, such as these recent pictures. So, I hope to further improve my style with some J-fashion <3

         

But also, I get to finally experience and experiment with new hair colours and styles. I usually wear my hair styled up, so it's not really a focus on the style but I have tried another style involving crimping (It was for SHINee's special selca event for Married To The Music <3) ans other times I just style it down.

     

And colours also! I've tried red, but it brought out the red in my face too much and I really hated it. I might go back to red if I try something more vibrant, but I'm not sure. My most used colour is a blue-ish purple pastel colour which differs every wash and recently I tried turqoise which came out in a more blue-y green than a green-y blue:')



Anyway-- ENOUGH VANITY OH GOSH.
I will be uploading another journal for the Pride festival and my ex girlfriend's visit as well as The f(x) performance in London <3

Thankyou all ~ !

Hello Watchers~!

Skelzonefire here.

I'm back to update you on my situation at hand and what this will entail in the future.

About a month ago, I started my official GCSE exam, which totally blew me away when I realised I had merely a month left of madantory schooling before it was my chance to seize the world.

I left school 4 days ago. It feels so normal, that I'll be back beside my friends in no time once the half term is over. But this isn't half term. This isn't a holiday. I'm no longer a student. And I can't grasp that.

I've completed 15 exams, and I have one final exam coming up on the 22nd which is design technology, but that isn't too important or troublesome. However, I've had 9 science exams. 2 chemistry, 3 physics and 3 biology. 2 English exams, IGCSE and literature. I've had a ten hour art exam. A music exam and 2 maths exams, calculator and non calculator.

I have taken it into my own hands to finally brush up on my social media. I've created a music page alongside my art page on Facebook which I look forward to maintaining and updating on the odd occasion. Such as my XFactor audition I did not too long ago. Or to update with a new cover on my YouTube which I'll also be beginning to maintain regularly. I also make myself a promise to return to my writing on both my deviantART and my Asianfanfics accounts. After writing that request yesterday in my own time, I felt so peaceful to be back behind my keyboard and better than ever. Whether or not I decide to work on my Tumblr as that's also a fanfiction page for me and for specific story requests, I'm not sure if that's something I wish to continue on with in case I lose interest in the anime I based the page on. Eitherway, I'll keep you all updated.

I also intend on learning the ways of the AMV! With help from a friend of mine, I could be a bonefied AMV creator in the near future.

I must also add that I now officially have purple hair! (Well, as of February, I haven't made a journal in ages--) Lookie ~ <3 So that makes me happy.

Thankyou all~!<3

Hello watchers ~

Can I just give an almighty WOW to this weekend please? Warning before you read, this is a LONG entry.

Well, this weekend of October, I visited the annual MCM London Winter ComicCon! I've been focused on finishing my cosplay all month and I was dressed up as Alois Trancy from Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji. First of all, my boots hadn't come. My friend had bought me a $70 pair of boots for this cosplay back in September. It was getting on for practically a week before, and they still hadn't arrived. I emailed the website more than twice and no response until FINALLY, they arrived. But they were a shoddy made pair if shoes, to say the least. They were custom made, but they didn't even fit my calves. They were about 2 inches out and the laces weren't even long enough for the boot. Regardless, we had boots. At least we had them.

Then, my wig was reluctant to come.
I ordered it and like, 4  days before it STILL hadn't arrived, so I ordered a different wig, and that one arrived two days later. But then, woop-de-do, the first one I ordered arrived the day after OTL The first with was really yellowy blonde, and didn't look all that good for Alois. The second one was the perfect colour, but the feel of it was like... straw. Oh well, once again, it was better than nothing.

We literally couldn't cut it any sooner, at around 2am the night before, we were sewing buttons onto my coat. I survived 22 hours with only 3 hours of sleep, I think that's surprisingly impressive.

So, waking up a  5am isn't nice, especially when you'd only fallen asleep 3 hours ago. I could not sleep for shit. Not out of excitement, but because I'd taken a nap half way through the day because I was up until 5am the night before. I had my makeup all done by my half asleep sister, dressed myself, put on my wig (Which we'd styled the night before) and... wow. This was the first time I'd seen it all together and it was fabulous, I must say. I got my money, my phone, my headphones and set off for the train station at around 7.

I was going with a collection of friends and the main person's mother and aunt or nan, so we met with them at the station before boarding our train and leaving around 8:50. I was on the train for around about 2 hours, then the fun started. When going through London, exchanging trains and such, we had so many glances. Some people questioned where I was going and others were just watching me with smiles and such as I was pretending to be in character on the trains xD

ANYWAY, when we officially arrived outside the ExCeL center, we started to see more cosplayers and we were like "WE'RE FINALLY WITH OUR PEOPLE <3" And I saw a Ciel. Kya~!

We weren't actually lining up for long, only for about 20 minutes tops and during my wait in the line, I saw a feckin' Aoba cosplay. DRAMATICAL MURDER IS MY LIFE. And when we eventually got in, i took a few pictures with her and she knew Alois and there was a Clear cosplay too! Finally, we took a group photo before I was let off of my leash.

I walked in and just... wow. Just really, wow. It was, huge. Cosplayers everywhere you looked, it was absolutely insane. I saw there was an S side and an N side, and I thought every N5, S2 was an individual area, and I was scared that I wouldn't get through it all. So, I went to the very end in order to both see everything and get my barrings, but also so I could start from the back. I started on the N side and that side was definitely more anime and manga influenced and side S was more games and such.

The first stall I went to, was a small corner stall with anime merch and a guy took my interest and said "Ah, I can tell you'd be interested in this." And took down a Black Butler pillow, obviously having noticed my cosplay. I wasn't really intending on buying the first thing I saw, and I said I didn't want to but he continued to try luring me in by saying "You get a free bag, see?" And omfg the bag was absolutely gorgeous. It was a picture of Ciel on a bed of flowers on one side and on the other... Ciel was led on his front, shirtless, with jewels and ribbons around him with a shirtless Sebastian hovering over him *^* He noticed my interest and said "You're a yaoi fangirl, I can tell." And I shrugged almost guiltily and he said "And you're not even denying it either!" I still didn't really feel inclined enough to buy it, but he went on more saying I'd get free photo cards, a free coin purse and a free mouse mat. And geez, who wouldn't want that?! Especially for only £18! So, I ended up buying it. He gave me the bag and I picked my photo cards (five beautiful Alois and Claude photo cards *^*), my free mouse mat (I figured it was Asuna from SAO with another female?) and my free coin purse which was of an anime girl in a pair of underwear with a chained collar on. He noticed my choice and spoke up again "Oh, so you enjoy your bondage to?" with a laugh and I just shrugged again and he was sort of surprised and once again picked up on my non denial xD So, after my first buy and chat, I felt alot more comfortable in my cosplay and actually being there.

It's sort of blurred what happened afterwards... but I know alot of anime and manga merch was for sale, it was almost overwhelming and it was surprising just how cheap everything was. AND OMFG THEY HAD FLUFFY ALPACAS. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED FLUFFY ALPACAS BUT CRIES THEY WERE LIKE, £30. Uwaaah...~ It hurts to think, but I know at one point  Iwas almost in denial when I found a giant flag saying YAOI. Like BRO. THERE'S A FUCKING YAOI SECTION? AND THEY FUCKING HAD DRAMATICAL MURDER FAN BOOKS! BUT CRIES THEY WERE OVER PRICED AS SHIT. There was alot of hentai and yuri too, which all looked so good but cries money.

Around that same area, near the far end of N from where you come in, there was a stall selling cat ears and tails and such, and one of the stall sellers noticed my cosplay and asked if I was missing the bows on my boots. Confused, I said no in a questioning tone but she continued to explain that she'd ordered some boots for her Alois cosplay, but they never arrived so she said I could have the bows for free! She couldn’t find them, so she said I should come back later.

As I carried on around, I saw my first manga stall and I have never seen so much manga in my life. Sadly, there was no Crimson Spell there, which was the one manga I was looking for as the final book came out last month I think. After that stall... it’s all a little fuzzy really... I know I met a collection of people that wanted a picture of me, which I gladly participated in, but I know I passed all of the individual artist areas. After all of that, I found where the Yogscast was located and I felt my heart jump! I was... barely a meter from Sjin, Ross and Smiffy. Sadly, they were just leaving as I’d found them, and I heard that they were coming back at 2 which was, ironically, the same time as a Black Butler meet I’d thought about going to. So, I abandoned the area to carry on looking around. I was surprisingly very cautious about time as i only had about 5 hours there, but I looked at the time and it had barely been an hour. Around this time, I’d found the Kpop stall I was looking forward to.

I couldn’t have been more disappointed.

It was extremely EXO biased, and 99% of the jumpers and hats were of either EXO or GDragon which depressed me and I really wanted a SHINee jumper or hat. And, guess what? Only 1 SHINee album, and not a single F(x) album. It wasn’t even an album, but a concert DVD, for £35. Well... I got it in the end, as I’ve always wanted a SHINee concert album, but I was extremely... extremely depressed.

I decided, as I was not at the other end of the N side, I’d switch to the other side. Instantly, I found a Clear, Koujaku and Noiz! The Clear and Noiz wasn’t too good... but the Koujaku was insanely cool ; 3 ; Also, beside them, was a photography place. I figured, it’s my first cosplay and my first con. Why not get a picture? I mean, it was only £9. So, I got myself a portrait ~ It was a little dark, but it was still super awesome ; w ;

There was alot of cute stuff on that side too, like Lolita stalls, Japanese kimonos, collars and lace ear (which were stunning by the way, the collars were the only things I regret not buying) and also various pin up/punk dresses and corsets. But, as I said, it was mostly about trying out the game and buying game merchandise alongside a crap load of Marvel and DC merch, which is a little overrated to me.

I did find one area on that side which was really intriguing; it was Japanese imported clothing and accessories and the accessories were mesmerising.  And there it was... MY MASK ; A ; It was a face mask with a skeleton on the front, and it was seriously only $6. That was just—there was no way I wasn’t buying it. I’ve always wanted one, and I got one, and I looking fckn sick.

It was roughly around 1pm then, and I was watching the time for either Yogscast or this Black Butler meet. I returned to the other side and searched around for areas I hadn’t been before (I also went back to the woman who offered me the bows and got them from her ~^^). I passed another fluffy alpaca stall and I was practically glaring at the alpacas in envy at the pricing, It was then, that I was patted on the shoulder by a small girl, looked around my age, with a fluffy onsie on. She was stuttering, purposely, asking for a hug and I was gladly up for one as I opened my arms for her. She was subsequently “crying” into my chest that she was “getting a hug from Alois”! It made me feel so... SO SPECIAL ; 3 ; I took a picture with her, and gave her another hug before parting ways. I seriously felt like a celebrity trying to calm down an excited fan, I felt so warm and fuzzy inside.

For some reason after this, I tried almost desperately to find the stall I first went to, and I was bewildered that I’d lost something I first saw, it was almost becoming frustrating but I eventually got back there and the stall guy noticed me instantly, welcoming me back. “Came back for more then? Couldn’t keep yourself away?” So we chatted for a while and then he began to lure me into buying more, and this time I was set on keeping my money for something else as I only had £40-ish left. I was literally there for around half an hour, and he was constantly pushing for me to buy something xD

Then we went on about how to play the game without it making too much noise because... it’s DRAMAtical Murder xD He continued on with more merch suggestions, picking up a crystal ornament on a chain that glowed. He couldn’t open the first box, so he got one from the back and got it out. It didn’t work. He got a second one out. The chain broke. He got the third one out and FINALLY it worked.

Then I saw a SWEET Tokyo Ghoul pillow, which I also haven’t watched yet.

Around then, I left and it was around 10 past 2, which was when a guy tapped me on the shoulder. He was dressed as Satan and we started chatting a little, made a few jokes and he was really nice. He was shocked to find out my age as well as he was saying how alot of the younger teenagers were very socially awkward and didn’t want to talk to anybody and it was nice that I was so broad and confident. We went to get some food together and he asked if I wanted a drink and I said I wanted to save my money. He said, and I quote: “Oh, babe, I wasn’t expecting you to pay for it yourself.” ...I felt both extremely shy and kind of creeped out. At least he was only 19 and not like... 27.  So, I continued to chat with him, and I told him that I was actually supposed to go to the Black Butler meet at it was around half past 2. I actually began to consider not even going and I wasn’t all that interested in the first place, but I Said I’d go, and I don’t break promises. So, this Satan guy came with me outside the ExCeL center.

When I went outside, it was just as crazy as it was inside. Although, it was so much bigger and spacious than it was inside. I was... overwhelmed again almost, and I was really curious where the group was but I saw a group of red cloaks and assumed it was a group of Grells~

When I got there, I walked in on about 7 Sebastians all drinking some yellow cider looking liquid in some glass bottles?xD And I was immediately welcomed. I was also glad to hear that there was a lack of Alois’, and I was the fourth one I think? I saw that they were doing photos and such, and I felt tremendously excited as I’d always wanted to do this. The leader of the photos was also an Alois, Zora, and she asked us if we had any idea for the next photoshoot, and everyone started cheering for the pocky game. It was hilarious when Zora announced how shameless we all were, and asked those that wanted to do this shoot to put their hands up... everyone put their hands up.

Afterwards, she said for us to get into pairs, and I said I’d go with anyone and a Ciel, Jerina, grabbed me and pulled me to her; I knew she’d be my pair for the rest of the meet for any other couple pictures, I just had that feeling. So, Zora said no kissy pictures, and Jerina mostly was very against the “PG-13” idea Zora had and argued humorously against it, which amused me as I was looking forward to any kind of pictures. So, Zora agreed and Jerina went to get a pocky stick. We were quick to finish ours, ended up kissing, and nobody even took our picture. WELL. I went to get a secondary stick and went to where the pictures were being taken. Slowly... carefully... me and this Ciel were eating away at this pocky stick, and eventually we finished it AGAIN, and needed a third pocky stick xDD

Finally, they took the picture, and I assume me and Jerina were the closest couple to a kiss-- disregarding the fact that we’d kissed already. I don’t remember exactly what happened afterwards (The pictures still haven’t all been posted so I’m still a little fuzzy on the order) I know I jokily kicked my leg up against Jerina and she grabbed it, almost pulling me over and then around 8 people said “HOLD IT.” And took our picture xD Uhm... there was a Ciel and Alois pairing shot with about 6 pairs, me and Jerina being one. There was also a Ciel dressed in the pink dress that said she wanted to follow me around because I was cool or something, which made me feel really happy ~^^

Eventually, I got my mask out and started taking pictures with my mask. There was a group picture, once again I was with Jerina and Zora was beside me, with my mask obviously ~ Uhm, there was a singular kiss between me and Jerina at one point and we were also on the side of a sort of... Grell selfcest with a Sebastian orgy or whatever?xD Jerina also had a hat that always stubbornly fell off, and I enjoy stealing it and running around, alongside her fluffy alpaca she bought ~ The final picture I remember being taken was when I tackled one of the Grells (I’d previously done a short roleplay with him and he’d told me to watch my back because my time was coming and I said Claude was going to kill him;3) and Zora was questioning what the hell was going on and eventually came out with her usual; “ALRIGHT, GET AGAINST THE WALL, WE’RE TAKING THIS PICTURE.” And Grell held me by my legs around his waist in a kissy scene against the wall xD

I think a highlight of wearing the mask would be that I’d approach Zora, and because the mask was covering my mouth, it was difficult to hear me speak, so I’d just stand there and blink at her. She’d smile at me in amusement, which would make me smile (this would make my mask ride up on my chin) and she’d call me cute ~ I’d lean forward and pretend to peck her through my mask and she laugh off an “awh!” which I really liked because asdfghjkl I like being adorable okay ; 3 ;

Soon after, I returned to the ExCeL center (the Satan guy had gone home about an hour previous and I’d taken his number and such and he kissed my cheeks goodbye. I felt... very cautious around him after that and he sent me a few weird texts before eventually backing off a little) And it was around half past 4 (I had to meet the group back where we started at quarter to 5) I went straight into the anime area and bought myself.. AN ALPACA. IN BABY BLUE. AND IT WAS ONLY £25. I also made my way over to the Yogscast stall in hopes to see them and talk to them... But once again, they were packing up when I got there and Sjin was leaving. He was kept behind by a girl showing him fanart, and I was desperate to get a picture with him, so I waited and I was going to wait until he’d finished talking to this girl, but he noticed me and asked I was alright and offered a picture. So, I got one with Sjin! *Happy face* Then, it was roughly 4:40, so I decided to use my last bit of money to get myself a Dr Pepper and a small yoghurt breakfast thing to eat as I hadn’t eaten in 12 hours. I sat myself in the hallway area and settled down, ready to eat. I also saw an awesome witch cosplay from Left 4 Dead and she was crying in the middle of the hallway. Someone approached her, and she got up and screamed! That was fun, and my friend Chelsea texted me, asking where I was at that point (Just as I was about to eat OTL) SO, I told her, and we met outside N5. This was when we finally left. It took us another 3-4 hours to get home, and I got back around 11pm.

In addition, earlier today, Zora’s boyfriend (also a leader of this meet up) messaged me, telling me there was now an official group for the meet ups in the future. I thanked him and told him I’d already posted and he said that he actually messaged me for different terms. A sense of guilt and worry washed over me - as you do – wondering what the hell I did wrong. Did I ruin the pictures wearing my mask? Was I too out of order? Was I reckless, or annoying? Did I make someone leave? But actually, he’d come to me explaining that the meet up was mostly for people with little experience of cosplay or meet ups or cons in general and said that I stood out to him and Zora as a person with a very friendly and confident personality. I assumed it was because I was enthusiastic, or good at getting along with people, or generally a person that you can approach easily, I don’t really know. But, he offered me a place as an admin for the group! It was entirely unexpected, and I felt heart warmed that I stood out to them. I arrived late and was loud and in your face... why was I so different, in a good way? Either way, I accepted the placement with great gratitude. I must express my happiness and joy also at how well the meet up was run, and how easy it was to get along with everyone. Even if it was my first one, I could tell it was well run, and Zora’s boyfriend, Oliver, even said he was chasing up people who’d taken pictures so we get as many photos to show up as possible. He also said he’d keep an extra eye out for any news on the film crew that came to record us. Really, I cannot wait for another meet up, I’m extremely excited and tremendously grateful for the invitation.

See you next May guys ~!
