I knew a guy in high school who silk-screened his own shirt that read "Happy 9/11” with cute little burning cartoon towers and a plane flying towards them.

This was in like 2003. People were not happy

I would be happy, happy holidays

I thought it was funny then and guess what, it's still funny now

If anyone tries to call you out on it call them woke.

This was a spectacle and a real cultural landmark but goddamn is the plot convoluted and near impossible to follow.

is the original image still around somewhere? who is stephen roth's face?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is the version 2 of this image, which had to be changed into a shitty cosplayer due to copyright complaints about using official sephiroth art.

Can any sephiroth cosplay be anything but shitty? His character design looks like it would look horrible irl no matter what.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think it's mainly the armoured trenchcoat, there are some topless versions of him that look decent.

Kinda has a Witcher vibe to him.

Ok I take it back. It looks pretty good, but of course you have to have the anime villain body to match.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you for the trenchcoat cosplays. He always ends up looking incredibly campy. The sweetspot for a weird-alien x living-god in human form is very very hard to hit in real life compared to animation.

I think you can, but we're talking a lot of expensive fabrics/leather/metal, interfacing, boning, foundation garments. You'd need to custom build the girdle and then drape the coat over it. That is...it'd need to be clothing, not costume.

And if you're spending the same amount of money and effort you would on a handsewn Bespoke Suit or an 18th century gown or a armor set...why not just make that instead?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm not sure. I think the outfit fundamentally just comes across as campy when you bring it to reality, which is a problem when you're trying to project a kind of sinister alien living-god aura that you can't quite understand.

cuz sephiroth fucks

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I think the overlap between the people with the time/knowledge/resources to make such an item of clothing, and the people interested in cosplaying Sephiroth for more than a single con is very very slim.

I'ma be the annoying one and say that Farsi is fucked up. not even written correctly/connected.

beyond that it rips
