Scrolled through the thread and realized I had no idea what Riku (or many people's) voices were. I assigned Riku a voice based on what I thought her personality was and it turned out to be so wrong. | ||

Action-Bastard Her "name" is Rikukitty (RikkuKitty?) and she does alot of attention-whoring on forums and other sites. Geisladisk You shouldn't, she is unhealthily thin. Also, the vast majority of men don't find that particularly attractive. SammyWhereAreYou Yeah, I just showed those photos to my husband to get the male perspective and he just made a face and said "gross." Psalmanazar She's pretty. Pretty androgynous, that is. | ||

I think I would have had serious depression problems from all of the negative comments I've heard about myself. Still, a lot of them sit with me poorly and don't exactly make me feel great. I've been trolled enough to not care enough to let it really hurt me, though. I don't even think they made me cry, or maybe only made me cry once. Truthfully, the cut and color is extremely unflattering, so it makes me look pale and oddly shaped in most photos. | ||

I remember seeing some of those pictures earlier too. They didn't have many positive comments. Some of it might sound harsh, but if I said you looked good in that costume I'd be lying. Haters gonna hate etc. just learn from your mistakes and make an even better costume next time. | ||

I think I look just fine in the first picture. :/ But... thanks...

After looking at the initial character I can find very few large differences and that feels pretty impressive to me. Haha, thanks and, well, what large differences did you see? I should fix those! | ||

No material under the gauntlets past the end flaring part. On the hips near the midsection the small curves are not as exaggerated as they should be. Those are two that I can remember without having to look back ^^ | ||

(so often they have disappointed me when it comes to dragons in the game) and I find it funny that some people are shocked/surprised that in cosplay you sometimes show a little more than the usual. nice work, good effort and you had fun so... . | ||

I always liked alexstrasza too, her dragon form is so sick even in game (so often they have disappointed me when it comes to dragons in the game) and I find it funny that some people are shocked/surprised that in cosplay you sometimes show a little more than the usual. nice work, good effort and you had fun so... . All I can say is anime conventions =/= gaming conventions. I swear that Man Fey gets less crap than I do! | ||

And possibly jealous that they can't look like that in that costume. There's no shame in combining your hobbies in a way that makes you feel good about yourself, there's tons of shame in trying to make other people feel bad about themselves because you do. So ignore the whiners. Oh, and I think it's funny that people would react all shocked that an Alexstraza costume would be slightly revealing... if it isn't you kinda did it wrong. | ||

We all have ego's, and we all like them stroked. Anybody trying to insult you by calling you an attention whore is just jealous that they're so much less successful at it.

Haha, thanks for your support. :/ While I appreciate the comments and discussions, one of the main reasons I have this as a public blog and not a private journal is to give me extra motivation to keep writing! Nothing like getting angry PMs to guilt me into keeping up my promise! | ||

Hey man, not everyone knows who Alexstraza is. Hell, I only knew the character by name since I never got into WoW and the image of her I had in my head was not scantily clad. However, to anyone who thought the pictures too revealing, let this be a lesson to you: RESEARCH! | ||
