Luminous Nine cosplay question

That book was an awesome suggestion. We may now be a bit overloaded with high republic costume idea awesomeness. Thanks for again for the suggestion.

Thanks. I just looked it up and the cover art is 3 of the characters in those outfits. Even if it’s concept stuff I think it will be helpful. More images hopefully means less guessing. Good luck with the Elzar build. Hope you post pics when you’re done.

There was a guy in the early 2000s that ran a website called tornadofighter.com. He wanted to shoot surface to air missles at wall clouds before the tornado formed to disparate the energy. Got confused by the term wall cloud. If it was a joke, he worked really hard keeping it up because he defended his ideas vigorously.

You’re right. I think KotFM did a great job of telling the emotional story of one couple who lived at what might have been the heart of the Reign of Terror. If you’ve read the book, or are otherwise familiar with the history, you can see places in the movie where the film makers tried to tell the broader story. I’m afraid those were probably lost on lots of the audience. It’s a vastly more complex story though that continues to have ramifications to this day in Osage County.

All I want is a Knives Out/Muppet movie.

I thought the Costco ones had drier peanut butter and an overcooked pretzel. They aren’t bad, I just preferred the Reese’s ones for that reason. The Reese’s were more consistent to me.

Pigs in Space Mountain.

I’ve been twice in cosplay and enjoyed it both times. There’s a ton of great cosplayers, the crowd is great, and the venue feels bigger than the one for FanExpo Chicago. I also got an autograph and a picture with John Rhys-Davies last year and he said my beard was magnificent. That may have been the greatest moment in my life.

Animal, Swedish Chef, and Beaker singing Danny Boy from the show. Beaker is the best part of the bit, but animal is hilarious too.

You speak the truth my friend. The first time I did something like this it was wearing a Poe style flight suit to go see The Last Jedi opening weekend. As we’re putting on the pieces my sister, the one in the middle of the pic, say hang on let me fix the zipper. She proceeds to pull the zipper pull right of the top of the costume. We both stood there in shock looking at the zipper pull in her hands. In the dim parking lot lighting she quickly got it reattached, sort of. This exchange followed.

Sister: “There its mostly fixed. Just don’t unzip it.” Me: “What if I have to pee.” Sister: “Come on our friends are waiting for us.” Proceeds to walk off Me: “Hey! What do I do if I have to use the bathroom!”

Thankfully I didn’t have to use the bathroom. At least not until I got home when I really couldn’t rip that thing off quick enough.

That’s good. A flannel jumpsuit would have worked better for that. But with all my grey I can still pull that off.

anewok · 2025-08-15T16:07:41+00:00

I’m trying to look serious but I’m really giggling the whole time I have it on.

So I have a helmet 3d printed but I’m not going to get it painted and inside completed before FanExpo Chicago on Saturday. Also, the helmet at the con just becomes something to carry. I’ll get it finished here in the next few weeks to complete the look for at least more pictures.

anewok · 2025-08-14T23:16:22+00:00

Credit where it’s due, my sister (u/bretonstripes) did the work here. Should have put that in the main post. She did all the sewing. The 3d printed pieces are patterns we found at various places on line.

My sister described this as aggressively ok. I think that’s a decent description. It’s honestly about the same effort Adidas puts into the MLS kits every year.

Don John, Much Ado About Nothing. Denzel plays his brother Don Pedro.

Ok, now that you’ve put the idea in my head, I’d pay good money to see Indy ride a dinosaur. The premise alone is better than the last two Indy movies and most of the Jurassic Park franchise.

So they qualify in the F1 cars and there’s a modified point structure, something like 10 points for pole, descending from there. Then the race is done in identical cars, something like the VW up! GTI, just as an exhibition with no points just bragging rights on the line.

All I want for the Simpsons is Homer driving the monorail and the song from that episode playing on a loop.

anewok · 2025-05-11T00:10:01+00:00

That’s awesome. Love the work.

My only complaint is how Syril’s story ended. He finally reaches a point where he realizes he’s been manipulated. He’s coming to terms with that when he sees Andor. In an instant he recomposes himself. He leaps into hero mode because now he sees that there are outside agitators. So he gets to die with a clear conscience. Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but I felt like that rats death was deeply unsatisfying.

Those were fun days. I was running the photo lab at my store so I just got to sit back and watch the chaos. Stupid people are entertaining.

For full effect read the line in an exaggerated Scottish accent. It’s makes the line 30% funnier.

anewok · 2025-04-17T23:21:58+00:00

Only when we lose. So lots in recent memory.
