So I got majorly excited last night because Anime Boston’s website (finally) put up information for Cosplay Chess! Speak of the devil, and they shall come… because I had told my friend Billy (my Ash from Chess at last year’s AB) that I’ve been obsessive-compulsively checking the site for info. We both had a blast last year, and want in again.
The theme for chess this year is “Past vs. Future”, with the Cosplot being “Mad Science and Time Travel”. I’m sooooo applying with a large chunk or my costumes. They say on the Chess and Cosplot pages “The more costumes you include on your application, the more likely you are to be accepted.” and “Priority will go to experienced cosplayers, especially those who have participated in other cosplay events at past Anime Boston conventions, particularly Cosplay Human Chess and the Anime Dating Game.” I have… over 20 costumes completed at this point (with a few in the works), have been cosplaying for nearly 7 years, and I was in Cosplay Chess last year – so my chances look pretty sweet I hope =D.
I’m making notes for myself here of who would fit on what side:
Amiboshi (Fushigi Yuugi) ~ Past (considering how I’m touching him up for Katsucon, he’d be my choice of my FY arsenal. Soi’s wig is a mess, Hikitsu’s not very well-known, and Tasuki’s really old and I have not idea what condition the fan is in)
North Italy (Hetalia) ~ Past
Flareon (Pokemon) ~ could be either
Jolteon (Pokemon) ~ could be either
White Mage (Final Fantasy Tactics) ~ Past
Penny & my boyfriend as Dr. Horrible (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog) ~ Future (because Dr. Horrible is the future leader of the world, mwahahahaha!). Since I just realized that the Cosplot is Mad Science and Time Travel, I think these guys may be the best fit/our best chance of getting in.
Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop) ~ Future
Tifa (Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children) ~ not sure what side she’d be. Future? (edit – lol okay so according to the Final Fantasy Wiki, Tifa was born in 1987 and is 22 at the time of Advent Children – making her be in the Present. Scratch her XD)
Definitely not applying with Reno or Irvine, since my hair is not long enough to do the ponytail. Misa Misa would be the Present, so she doesn’t fit (plus I wouldn’t apply to something like this with her since I don’t have a wig). Espeon’s the plainest of my Eeveelutions, so my chances wouldn’t be that good. Most of my other characteter would either qualify as the Present, or are just old/some part of the costume doesn’t fit anymore.
