Shit. Here it comes.
"Please make your way to the front of the room and get in line. Castiels to the back of the room please."
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Put my jacket back on. is my hair okay? Is my makeup alright? Do i even look human? Dont trip and your walking up there. For the love of chuck dont trip. Okay i can do this. I can do the thing. No big deal. My costume looks great. Oh shit theres another abaddon. ... and another. They all look better than i do. Keep your cool. This is going to be okay.
Okay. I found the line. Omg the girl in front of me looks so bad ass. the trinkets on her belt are amazing. The girl behind me has pie. Omg is that a human samulet?
"And now we'll have our first group of cosplayers up on stage"
Up. Up on stage? Oh hell no. I did not sign up for this. Everyone else is nervous too. Quick make a joke to calm everyone down. Okay that worked now what.
Still nervous. thank god im not in the first group. I can see whats going to happen first. Im such an awkward penguin.
Okay he lines them up and lets people take pictures. Oh her costume is great! Look at that person smile. He puts his hand over each of their heads and they scream for their favourites. The favourites are the final three of that group. The rest are escorted off the stage and given a print of J2 as a participation prize.
Okay my group is next. Oh shit. My group is next. Don trip. Dont trip dont trip. Dont let the girl in front of trip in those heels either. Her pie smells so good. Edible props. Good idea. Im hungry. And nauseous. Maybe we'll wait to eat for a while.
Oh god theyre taking pictures. I hate taking pictures. Quick whats a good abaddon pose. *strikes pose* (basically i didnt move at all and kept my hands at mt side. Great pose, kat.) This is ridiculous. Dont smile. Abaddon doesnt smile. Dont laugh. Why are you lauging? I guess its kinda funny.
Okay. His hand is above my head. Barely any screams. ... i dont understand. What did i do wrong? The other two abaddons were in the final few. What did i do wrong. I dont understand.
Okay dont cry. Dont cry. Its just adrenaline leaving your system. Dont cry dammit. Take your final lap around the stage,get your picture, and go find tasha.
Look at you, bad ass. You just went through your first cosplay contest. Sit down before you pass out.
Note to self: learn how to pose and take pictures.
And that is basically how my first cosplay competition went down. Sorry it has taken two months to even talk about SPNcon. In a nut shell it was the greatest weekend of my life. I have plans to go again and again and again. More cosplay competition too! ... just need to learn how to portray the characters better.
If you have any ideas let me know. I have another competition in a couple of months and i want to do a photo shoot for some of my cosplays as well. So excited. So nervous.
