Fanime 2010
FRIDAY
I got to go with one of my friends and stay at a hotel with her and a few other people she knew.
That day, I was Chibitalia.
It wasn't too crowded which was nice.
GWAHHH @A@ Awesome movie characters!! (sorry the photos were dark, it was around 7PM when I took them xD; )
I got some hugs and met some nice Hungarys >u<
I didn't do a lot that day, obviously xD
I did bump into some guys with a Soviet flag, and when they saw me they said in a Russian accent, "Oh, look! Another little country! Maybe we should make it part of Mother Russia, да?" We quickly ran away from them xDD
SATURDAY
Today I cosplayed Sealand!
My friends had really pretty outfits *3*
We also came across a couple of Hetalia cosplayers, including an England who I got to bother a bit and call ‘jerk England’ >:3
So many great cosplays!
After we left the dealer's hall, we bumped into a small Hetalia group, and some of them (England, China, Prussia, America, and Italy) were doing a skit! They originally were going to have a France, but their France couldn't do it, so I was the replacement! OAO
I was never in a skit before, but I really wanted to try, since it was Monty Python.
So I signed a paper that could allow me and all I had to do was wait, and since my friends were going back to their hotels, I decided to join them to kill some time.
Meanwhile I photoed some more wonderful cosplayers!
Afterward, we decided to have some breakfast (we haven't eaten yet!!) and while we were buying fruit at our hotel, I decided to bug these guys (little did I know back then that I actually watched the America on YT!) These two were amazing! *A*
*w*
We then went outside for a bit, and I encountered the best combo I've seen:
STEAMPUNK HETALIA!!
I honestly didn't know what steampunk was until I saw them (and even since Treasure Planet, I wondered what the style was called!)
Inglourious Basterds
Don’t ask, I have no idea xD
And this Japan was adorable <3
We were in a hurry to get to the hotel, I didn't realize my friend was the Toph on the right (with her BF as Zuko) ;A;
I almost forgot about the skit that I was supposed to be part of, so I went with one of my friends to the masquerade and tried looking for where my group was (because I forgot to bring my glasses, and it was dark, I couldn't tell where they were), I did find someone to help and finally joined just as the masquerade was starting @A@ Whew! (though we didn't rehearse, and we were just lip-synching to it)
Apparently we were the first skit (skit 0 for some reason xD), though we had to wait for the taiko drums to finish and some people to show off their costumes, it was really nervewracking to wait backstage!
But we were all being cool and laughing quietly and keeping our worries away.
Finally the skit happened (for some reason it wasn't so bad since it was too dark to see the audience, and we just did it as though we were acting by ourselves :) )
After the skit, we were skipping along down the side hallway, glad to get it over with (though it was loads of fun!) America was whooping and hollering with joy until we were shushed xD
We then got to watch all of the other skits (at least 40, and all under 5 minutes in length, and I was getting sleepy)
Some of our group members had to leave for sleep, but I stayed to see the results.
One of our shoulders was tapped to go backstage (apparently we won something, but we didn't know what yet!)
After everyone for the costume contest (including this one guy with HUGE wings) our group won for Junior Acheivement!! 8D (Because we were all under 18)
As we recieved our awards, England was piggybacked on America pretending to be drunk and shouted out "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!", and I was carrying the sword casually.
That was the best skit (and only skit xD ) I've ever done! I want to do that again! 8D
And so after all that, I quickly got back to my hotel room and got some sleep.
SUNDAY
I cosplayed Puppy!Italy because there was a Hetalia meet that day.
It was hot of course, and we were doing group photos outside xD;
I got to meet some of my friends who cosplayed as Seychelles, China, and Shinatty-chan.
Axis group (plus Romano and Prussia)
Allies group (plus WHO?, and I think I see a Vietnam and Philippines too)
Seychelles and Philippines group
Chibitalia group >u<
Prussian invasion!!
Bad Friends trio... (I love the Prussias’ faces here xD )
...vs. the Austro-Hungarian Empire!
Ready for battle!
Chibitalia and Grandpa Rome singing Marukaite Chikyuu (and Austria in the front conducting) <33333
While I was rushing back into the shade, I caught these two dancing and asked if they would dance for a photo <333 (I'm supporting Latvia+Seychelles as a platonic couple now!)
GermanyxItaly (still wishing for a Germany ;^; )
I wish I had brought my own flag, I borrowed this one from the Italy from our skit ;w;
Females group
I know there were more groups (such as Asia and Scandinavia, and surely more pairings) that I missed, but I either couldn't stay out long enough to take photos because of the heat, or I was really busy talking to a friend
I was also talking with a Turkey who thought about using an Italy puppy to hunt down Greece like a hunting dog (and use my con badge strap as a leash), but then Italy would get distracted and run for Germany when he saw him and forget the original mission xDD (I wish we could make a skit of that!)
I wish I could have talked to more people during then, but I was feeling too shy! orz
After that, I had to go back to my hotel (my friends had to leave in the middle of photoshooting because it was so hot), but just as I was about to go back, I had accidently taken Italy's flag with me! QAQ
So I thought about the Hetalia panel that was going on a few hours later and was sure she would be there.
I actually wasn't in the mood to go to the panel (plus I think I needed something in order to get in), though luckily I did return the flag to her after asking someone if I could quickly.
I then got back to my hotel in a kinda bad mood (don't remember what happened) and stayed for the rest of the day, and watched a movie that cheered me up.
MONDAY
Didn't do much that day since we were leaving. I cosplayed as Chibitalia again. :3
I got to buy a few things (all Hetalia-related of course xD ), hug some people (someone gave me a really tight hug which hurt, and wouldn't let go for a while just to hear the "cute" noises I made when hurt...)
