BTW, I sympathize if people don't like the idea of Zevran being portrayed as a crossdresser, but in a thread where Alistair gets treated like a subserviant and that Alicorn picture gets tossed around for fun, it's hard to know where the line is.

i love you, Gilsa. Let us compare dwarven loveliness some moar. Also I want the entire cast of companions as RHPS members now.

oh! And I am hypercritical of cosplay as I point and laugh at their bad sewing mostly. Consider what I do for a living, mind. I'm a stichb*tch. Blah blah it'/s a hobby not a professional, blahhhhh. Yeah yeah I'll get back in my box now.

Also I am grumpy today as I have had little sleep.



*eta* Mina's duster with zev! you got the brand right tom, mina- THIS PLEASES ME. I AM PLEASED.

Oh yes! I drew some duster engaging in very OOC pretentious activity of drinking wine while you were gone.

BTW I doubt anyone knows where that line is but I bet we are gonna explore...

I don't see it as creepy! I was the one who asked on here about getting a Zevran costume for my boyfriend. For private use, I mean.

I had a look at her other pictures, and I think she looks really good, playing male or female. I don't think she looks like Zevran, really, but I can definitely see what she'd get out of dressing up as him and feeling the character from the inside, so to speak. I just hate to think what all that must have cost, and the time, but lots of hobbies are expensive and time-consuming.

Talking of dressing up, my teenage son saw that picture of you in your boots when I was looking at it. Sorry. He approved +100.

If people only cosplayed characters whose skin-tone and facial structure completely matched their own, we... wouldn't have cosplay. There's not much a cosplayer can do about that, so I just look at it the same as artistic style differences. No biggie. She obviously got into character pretty well, too, while being photographed.

And lol about the boots photo. I don't care. XD A few other shots from that are on devart somewhere on the photographer's account, no less. Nothing bad was showing, and I did walk around in IHop like that afterwards. Hell, I walked around downtown Seattle several times in my floor-length vinyl dress.

I actually get a lot less self-concious at total strangers seeing that stuff.

I like to see good cosplay, it's an interesting form of craft and art, but on the other hand I can understand why lot of people think it's weird. E.g. the crossdressing aspect might be controversial or the fact that most cosplayers are girls and they cosplay male charcters may send the vibe of desperation of this hobby But imo it's not much more weird than drawing fanart, writing fanfic or having a crush on fictional character *cough*

Yeah, I mostly write about male characters, although my roster on MVH for roleplay had several women in it as well. Astronema, as mentioned above, Priscilla Asagiri from Bubblegum Crisis 2032/2040, and Clare from Claymore (manga). Astronema is even halfway girly, for someone who once took over the entire universe and tried to murder her big brother a few times. It's all good.

I guess I fail to see the creepyness in chicks writing or playing dudes, or dudes writing or playing chicks. But I think my stances on gender are mostly known anyway. I didn't even know there was a stigma against it until this thread (not today's posting, but this thread in general).

My sister, who's lesbian, is playing a gay guy on an RP.  So she's a woman who's attracted to women playing as a man who's attracted to men.  I'm sure she plays the character quite well, though depending on how serious that group is about RP some research time at Literotica might be required.

There's a gun called Pandora that has multiple forms. One of them is a floating missle turret. The FAQs lovingly refer to is as....

The God-Pod.

Fixed that for you. XD Literotica is good for precisely two things: lol and epic lol.

That place fuels far too many of the entries at weeping**** (NSFW LJ community) to be taken seriously.

But I still find that less creepy and more "wow, she has a challenge ahead of her", lol.

People have assumed me for a man on MUSHes, where the player is far less known than the character... but they do get weird about it on those games. I actually became ambiguous enough about it by habit that coming here and having people know I'm a chick was jarring, I've been incognito gender-wise for a few years in most places I interract with anyone.

So I guess I knew there was some of that in RP, at least in some settings... but not so much in cosplay. I'm not precisely in that sub-culture, having never gotten to do it.

(I'd forgotten about the MUSHes when I said I'd never seen that before. It's my brain-fog.)

...Okay, that is hilarious. Why do I picture a giant gun shooting peas?

Like, one of these no less:



Is it the lack of caffeine talking? Maaaaybe...

haha! Apparently! It's like the best weapon for some of the secret missions. It makes one of them a bloody cakewalk, actually.

That livejournal community is funny.

Oh, that's nice, Elps. I missed the kilt conversation. And I'm Scottish born and bred. A kilt would look very nice when he's fighting, with his movements making it swing.

And of course, now I am picturing Oghren hooking it up to his chariot. My brain goes in interesting directions when I'm tired.

It has its moments. XD I took it off my f-list because it was just too spammy and most of it was less hilarious and more facepalm, but I'm still a member and I go poking through its main page once in a while for new gems of lol. XD

Be kind to me since I haven't used Photoshop for over a year! But, here's Zev in a traditional kilt...

Oooh! Stylish. That really would suit the Dragon Age universe just fine, I think, all jokes aside! At least in Ferelden.

And I actually could see Teagan in one of those, now.

I agree, Aro. Some of the suit/hair/make up/tattoo mods I've seen have made me lulwat. Bubblegum blue and pink amour in Ferelden? Lolno.

I haven't looked through the armor/hair/skin mods much, I'm kind of scared to.

At least Princess has a suitable wardrobe that way?

Nice pic.  Zev does look good in a kilt.

Some of the hairstyles would just be impractical. The companions have their hair short or tied back, for good reason I think. You don't want it in the way when you're trying to kill stuff.

[UnDutchable]

You people are so difficult to please. Zevran walks around in a leather skirt and you want to stick him in some ugly tartan? For shame, Zev thread, for shame! XD

yeah. Some of the makeup you can *handwave* and say it's like tattoo'd on, or something, and/or made of lyrium. I just have visions of toons reapplying their lipgloss while everyone else is looting corpses.

MAYBE SHE'S BORN WITH IT. MAYBE IT'S MAYLYRIUM!

Not just Zev - Alistair too! And Riordan and Teagan 

And Nathaniel. Myyyep.

AND IT'S NOT A SKIRT OKAY. IT'S A PLEATED KILT. THE PLEATS ARE CALLED PTURUGES TOO. That is more manly. And has easy access.
