Thanks! :e_pleased:

That was my first time ever cosplaying, and I just kind of pieced it together.  It helps that I already had an afro wig (everyone should have one) and I had to roll up a black t-shirt to stuff it with, to keep it so tall.  Otherwise, it just limply hung on my back.

There were a lot of awesome cosplayers at AnimeNext.  I'd like to try something else.

I did have a lot of fun as Nabeshin!

All brand new poetry.  All written fairly recently:



Mc

I'm hovering around barflies
Slowly orbiting, seat to throne
Glowing, amber cascade
behind a blue sky
Swipes and clinks and pulls
Songs and words and...



eye know you

Cycling in clouds
Loping in circles
even while
an undeserving one
Free from fault?
and so it goes...



Perspective

This chasm appeared,
I have put it here.
Behind invisible walls,
I can see it all.
Withered and worn,
ever striving for more.
Dessicated corpse,
dried, eaten and pored.
Arising with gall,
Hollow, standing tall.
Be a stranger to fear!
It is love you hold dear.



I once knew you

Once...
We were together
Through day
and sometimes night.

Sharing...
Terrible things,
Wonderful things.
And things that fright.

Reaching...
Unknowingly grasping
for that which you hate.
What is hidden in the light.

Losing...
What once was,
what has died.
I thought I was right...



I still welcome any questions or comments.

Thank you very much.  I'm glad you like it.  Of those four, that one is especially meaningful to me.

I wrote it about someone who, for the past 20 years or so (I'm 29), I considered to be my best friend.  Recently, through his own wishes (and mental illness) he decided to very, very harshly cut himself off from everyone, through an e-mail to me.
This is the same friend I refer to in this post: http://www.excelsagaforum.com/index.php?topic=979.msg37544#msg37544

While it will always be personal to me, I did try to write it so anyone can apply that same feeling of loss to their own lives.  Sometimes, explaining a poem kind of takes away from what the reader gets from it, but I don't think it's the case here.

Most poems come from personal experiences, i kind of imagined it was a thing from your past...
But you wrote it out well, i can relate to it myself without thinking of it as a spicific person being refered to...

Here are some Excel Saga Haiku I just wrote:

 :menchi-1:
A tasty morsel
will you ever be eaten?
Menchi, oh menchi

 :ehail:
An excessive zeal
that is frugal, yet futile
Down into the pit

 :shiouji:
Not a criminal
ignores laws, does not break them
well, usually...

 :hdead:
Pale, stained, on the floor
looks so natural to her
please, revive again

 :il_hahaha:
He's the string puller
when the strings have wound to rope
pull, click, splash, ha ha

 :elhail:
Bouncy, springy, bounce
Oh, look at me, look at me!
Was that said out loud?

 :miwa:
Love from a mother
gentle, soothing with comfort
but should NOT smother

 :iwata:
Is he not a man?
When the only thing that's flawed
is inside his head?

 :kabapu-1:
The world gets the truth
an honest integrity
filtered through moustache

 :pedronooo:
No!  No!  No!  No!  No!
No!  No!  No!  No!  No!  No!  No!
I hate you, Pedro

 :mrowner:
Stolen memories...
mercifully killing friends...
To the next hotel!

 NOT :e_annoyed:
Looks, talks, sounds, and acts
not as she is, as she should?
but you are not she

 :watanabe:
Stolen, taken, Chi
by her Lord, underhanded
I will go lower

I'd like to write one for each character.
More to come...

 :ropponmatsuII:
I was a fetish...
Am I now out of control?
Or now in control?

 :ropponmatsuI:
Was I just a tool?
Gone, or just misremembered?
Who am I, really?

 :sumiyoshi:
Listen, the silence...
is my real, actual voice!
I've a lot to say!

 :umi:
Professor, please, please!
Look!  Look at me now!  Please?
How I long for him...

:miss manager:
Tsunami lashes.
Versatile disposition.
Let's make the money!

:momochi:
Most mysterious...
Just who are you, anyway?
Kabapu's linchpin?

Anyone else I'm forgetting, someone remind me, and I'll make a haiku for them.

Well since you included Pedro, i guess Nabeshin would fit in too...

Would Tenmangu also be an option, although we hven't really seen him yet (well, at least not his eyes, haha)
I'd love to see Dr. Iwata and Nurse Fukuya, i secretly love these two people, haha...

You need Misaki too, don't forget her..!

Ask, and ye shall receive!

 :im_nabeshin:
Exceeding Excel
With those inanities... but!
They were all called for!

 :Tenmangu:
Only he knows why
he left his only son to
pick up the pieces...

 :Dr. Iwata:
Much more than "practice"
I am creating ART, here!
Check it out, ladies.

 :Nurse Fukuya:
Baby sitting him.
Reprimanding him, again.
Bludgeoning him! Aaahhh...

 :matsuya:
The voice of reason,
to whom no one will listen.
At least she can watch...

Thank you very much.  I'm glad to hear that it had an effect on you.  I tried to humanize Ropponmatsu I, because I felt like she's been thought of as nothing more then a tool, especially by Kabapu and Il Palazzo.  What is her 'core', and why is it that she (usually) thinks on her own?
