Fanart and Closet Cosplay Dump - China, UK, Korea

[7owti5.livejournal.com]

First the cosplay. I'm new to the wig thing. Any pointers/ concrit will be appreciated! Also, how do you get the thing to not slide back on your head? Sheez.




I threw out the melamine-enriched White Rabbit candy, so I can only offer you oranges (and what is it about oranges, anyway?)

Now, the sketches. Remember, I didn't say anything about them being any good:


was thinking of O_O and >.< emoticons. Now, an explanation to what Arthur is wearing:


YES HE'S BLOODY TINKERBELL. He might be Hook and Pan, also. Punk rock Pan. Yup.


In which Yao doesn't die during the Qing dynasty, when men were required by law, to cut their hair into this unsexy style. Haircuts were met with huge opposition because before then, men let their hair grow long as a practice of filial piety, as in the Heian period of Japan. There were many rebellions against this law, and each ended with bloodshed. sorry, those were kinda my peeps that imposed bad haircuts on Chinese.


So, at the end of the Qing dynasty, his hair probably started growing out. And we all know how painful the growing-out stages are. Personally, I think Yao has really funny hair. He doesn't seem to comb or style it successfully, because it's not as beautiful in canon as it is in fanart, where he gets help from a professional stylist. Anyway, that's this fangirl's take on China's hair, probably because of her own hair failures.


YongSoo is very strong. Why? Because during South Korea's Fifth Republic, students and businessmen took to the streets to protest against the authoritarian rule of the government. This led to military action and thousands of civilian deaths. In 1987, the torture-death of student Pak Chong-ch'ol by the police sparked widespread outrage among South Koreans. During the demonstrations that ensued, over 260,000 tear gas shells were used in 1987 to quell demonstrations. In the end, the people were victorious, and Roh Tae-woo was elected president by popular vote. Five years later, South Korea's first civilian president was elected.

Fandom, I'm not sure if I got this story correctly. If I'm missing or have mistated something, please let me know, because it's important.

This Yong Soo is inspired by my friend Lee, who was tear-gassed as a college student during these demonstrations, and spoke of it in a very animated, powerful way. It clearly shaped the person she is, and at 40 she still carries that energetic, forceful optimism that ignores reason and which makes me a little nuts at times that IMHO was necessary to change the history of South Korea. Go Korea, Go! aru

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD YES TO XIANG SHENG. And I think by doing a skit like that, he would be Wang laotou, because damned if that doesn't sound like a game my grandfather would play.

Hm. Panda mpreg. Ohhhhh what would Ivan's baby be like? SCARED. Liet is scared, too.

"Russia will be one with you."
"Russia will be - WAIT!!"

A panda that says scary things! Poor Wang, he probably thought this would keep Ivan from sneaking in. Instead, Ivan wants to be a family even more than ever!
