PapemelroticPAT … overall seem actually do not think that to be the case, even when I outright mentioned these (towards people in real life X). Nice to see that I did not disrupt the flow of this panel even with my idea, as elements like this and how they are... 3.6/💋 08:02 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … realistically thought that it *might* be seen as disrespectful or distant from the actual manga's depiction by some, or even an overly used symbolism that *could* border on appearing corny or even cheap. But it seems that continuous responses... 3.5/💋 07:58 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … seen in the manga! I think I took almost 10-11 photos with this one? XD Also a little unsatisfied with how my eyes' expression here looked like, but when I put it all together to resemble a manga panel, glad that it still did not detract from... 3.3/💋 07:40 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … eye close-ups wherein Lilico first discovers a bruise on her forehead, mentioned already that I found this the most and ONLY difficult scene to recreate, right? Well, because I struggled with recreating the exact hand and finger placement as... 3.2/💋 07:30 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … experiment on myself LMAOOO. XDD Thankfully, the Helter Skelter cover recreation + eye close-ups in the paneling turned out well and "faithful to the original", even if I was half-expecting it to miss the mark at first. Oh, and speaking of the... 3.1/💋 07:15 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT Now about learning experience, it was my first time wearing such heavy make-up! I usually only stick to the basics (press powder + blush + lipstick... or none at all, depends on my energy/interest, sorry HAHAHA), so this was quite the interesting... 3/💋 07:10 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … both confusing and amusing how I struggle at times with characters who are very, VERY similar to me in real life, yet find it smoother to cosplay characters who are different from how I truly am? XDD But each was a learning experience regardless~! 2.7/💋 07:00 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … and college a bit---might have helped? Especially in college when we had to take that Drama/Music and Theater Arts subject (cannot recall the exact subject name, sorry XDD), specifically for elementary/preschool teachers only. I still find it... 2.6/💋 06:52 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... up theatre arts-related stuff---back when I was a child (Mom being the stereotypical Asian mom in the past who wanted her daughter to be "skilled/excel in many things", hence the endless workshops, remember? XD), then back in high school... 2.5/💋 06:45 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT Again, I could only guess that aside from me liking to test and challenge myself, it is possibly the repetition/continuous practice too, since I did say I will definitely make cosplay one of my hobbies after the tour. A personal history of taking... 2.4/💋 06:40 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … Lilico, it felt much more prominent. I was able to capture the fitting facial expressions and photos for both the laughing-crying Lilico in a hysterical breakdown scene + Helter Skelter's English version manga cover within only two to three shots. 2.3/💋 06:32 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … rush of ideas and urgency to execute it (or at the very least refine it so I can act on it, still depends XD), lest you lose the momentum or forget the EXACT ideas and inspirations in the first place? I felt that with all my cosplays, but with... 2.2/💋 06:24 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … and news from previous cosplays, especially last week! I really meant it when I said I was so joyful and inspired by everyone, because I felt like I was in this natural rhythm while working on my Lilico cosplay (hence the speed). You know that... 2.1/💋 06:20 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … never matter how shiny or spotless we seem to polish/present our entirety from the outside. Which brings me to my next point in a way hehe: always liking and delving into this type of storytelling would not be possible without the OTHER stories... 2/💋 06:12 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … beauty, fame and status in accordance to societal standards and public validation. While these desires/goals are normal and human, when excessive or unchecked, they gradually fester into the story's "rot" bleeding + decaying us from the inside... 1.10/💋 06:05 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … proved to be indeed a VERY fun one too hehe, because it was not only a deeply layered character to cosplay, but also a form of social critique/commentary---specifically about nature VS. nurture (again, this time with Lilico) and the pursuit of... 1.9/💋 05:55 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... bopping my head or swaying a bit playfully when I only completed taking photos of myself. There was still so much to do, you know? IDK why I was so upbeat. XDD But in all seriousness, I guess it is because cosplaying Lilico is a challenge. It... 1.8/💋 05:44 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … wondering at first if my cosplay would look legitimately respectful to the original when I am moving THIS fast. Strangely however, there is little to no perfectionist worries. Instead, I actually felt excited to cosplay Lilico hahaha. Was even... 1.7/💋 05:38 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... quickly and quietly due to always being in time-sensitive work/schedule-oriented activities + typical intense focus on hobbies/interests, Lilico is wildly different from characters I have cosplayed so far AND my overall personality. So I was... 1.6/💋 05:33 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … we got back to the lodging, I immediately worked on my Lilico cosplay. In contrast to my reading pace of Helter Skelter, this process was FAST. Even felt skeptical of my speed initially, because while I do admit that I have a tendency to work... 1.5/💋 05:20 PM May 24th from web
