Geek Pride Day: Cosplay

Our "local" science fiction bookshop is holding something called a Geek Pride Day next sunday which is basically a huge parade of cosplayers walking through the streets of Gothenburg, Sweden. 
 
Me, and my very nerdy friend Felix is participating in this and so I have to create a fairly quick and simple cosplay. 
 
Guess who? 
 
 
 
Missing pieces are currently: a better jacket, a necklace, leather bracelet and ring.. then the obvious jeans and boots. I don't know what I'll do about the boots, considering I don't own that kind of boots, but we'll see what I find. The necklace is a maybe, because it's pretty hard to find and can only be ordered from abroad which means that it'll probably take longer than a week for it to arrive. I'm going to hunt down the ring tomorrow..The bracelet will be easy to make, I just need a leather band and since my mum makes jewelry, well she owns stuff like that. 
 
I also bought a knife at the second to last sci-fi convention I went to so I might bring that with me, we'll see if I'm allowed to, otherwise I'll stick it in a pocket or something.. xD Idk..
 
Here's another clue, unless you haven't already figured out who it is. It's supposed to go on the chest and I will try to make it.. it'll be hard though, really hard.. but that's why I'm practising. 
 
 
Of course the guy I'm gonna cosplay is called Dean Winchester from Supernatural. He's my favourite character of the show and also a fairly easy one to fix when you only have one week left to fix it. I also picked him in addition to my friend's choice of cosplaying Castiel. Not that I personally ship Destiel, but he does so.. you know.. why not? xD I can be one of the two halves of his OTP while at the same time getting to cosplay my favourite character ;) It's a win-win.
 
Since I'm not really into cutting my hair as short as he has it, I'm going to figure out something else. Hopefully I will cut it shorter than I have now though, so maybe I'll spike it up a little or.. wear it in a ponytail of some sort.. we'll see. 
 
 

Dreams part... something.

So I slept at my boyfriends house tonight and for some reason I dreamt that I was pregnant. 
 
Now for those of you who know me or have had a conversation with me about pregnancy knows that it freaks me the hell out and that it feels unnatural for me to be pregnant. Imagining me pregnant just doesn't sound right. 
 
So naturally, this was a very disturbing dream to have. I remember freaking out about it in my dream and I went to my mum, in panic saying "can I take it out? I've changed my mind, I don't want it anymore" and my mum obviously answered "No you can't, it's gone too far for that" which only made me freak out even more. Luckily I never had the baby in my dream so I didn't get to semi-experience that anyways. But it was just so strange and so damn freaky to me.. I also remember my stepsister Alexandra (who is, in fact, pregnant atm) being there and being like "Cmon, it's nothing, why are you freaking out?". As if that changed the fact that I absolutely did not want to be pregnant. 
 
For some reason a group of guys also followed me and taunted me for a while and I remember trying to run away from them but obviously being unable to because, hey, I was pregnant xD One of the guys turned out to help me in the end though.
 
Idk.. ugh.. just thinking about it now is disturbing... 

Digital Painting: Water Dragon

 
So I'm practising. Considering I've applied for a Computer Development school with focus on 2D Graphics, I figure I should get better at lighting and painting digitally. I'm also gonna work a little more on landscapes and such.. perspective and all that crap. I figure that's what you'll need to know. 
 
Don't be fooled by my complaining, I'm super excited! Working with Film or Games is what I want to do, and if I can design monsters, heck yeah! 

My newest obsession: Supernatural

You know, I haven't written anything here for a while and so I'd like to give you an opportunity to catch up. Considering I've gotten myself a new obsession. 
 
As someone of Tumblr would know, Supernatural, Sherlock and Doctor Who are the three fandoms that dominate the place. I personally wasn't interested in either of them to begin with and held myself to smaller fandoms like Merlin and Rise of the Guardians. Although I'm also not one to not give something a chance, and so I watched Doctor Who, the entire season with the ninth doctor.. I sadly didn't like it all that much. 
 
Then I watched Sherlock, actually enjoyed it quite a bit, it's a really good show, but not enough to get me obsessed. 
 
Then I watched Supernatural, a show I actually didn't think I would like at all.. mostly because I don't really find ghosts that interesting, and plus I had seen some episodes from the later seasons and didn't find it all that great. But I decided to watch it from the beginning eventually and boy did I fall in love! Since I wasn't doing anything during that time in my life it took me roughly two weeks to get through 8 seasons. So yes, I got obsessed.. (and I love when I get obsessed) and now I wanna pay tribute to this show, while sitting here wearing my spn hoodie that I ordered from America, by answering one of these 30 days things, but in one go. 
 
I can not guarantee that it'll be spoiler free. It probably won't.
 
 
 
Your favorite character
Dean, no question about it. He was the one who made me fall in love with the series in the first place and so he's become the one I care about the most. He's complicated, which I love and he's got a good sense of humour which is a sure highway to my heart. If you can make me laugh, then there's a good chance I'll love you. 

Your least favorite character
Gordon actually.. I thought about Ruby too because she fucked so much shit up and it was so damn annoying.. but no.. Gordon is the worst. Man, I hated that man. Really, I was so happy when he died. 

Your favorite season
Season 3 all the way. It's such a shame that it only had 16 episodes because I loved that season. It has most of my favourite episodes, it has one of the most heartbreaking story-lines in the series and it's got Bela Talbot (who I actually really liked). Plus, we get to meet Gabriel for the first time. It has the final installment of one of my favourite story-lines with Agent Henricksen too, and we get to meet Ben. It also holds the only episode I've been scared of. Really, it's just a great season, specially considering it's so short. 

Your least favorite season
Tough one, there has been some seasons that I found quite dull.. The fourth one was one.. the seventh was another. But now when season nine is almost finished I've grown to appreciate season 7 a bit more. So now I think either season 8 or 9.. 8, because the angel business is so damn annoying...but it had a nice ending and two of my absolute favourite Charlie episodes so... It's alright. 9, mostly because it has been one hell of a painful season to watch.. It's actually the only season I feel is emotionally draining because of the strain on the two brothers.. And considering the changes Dean goes through.. it's just.. no. It's awful to watch and it just makes you feel bad. It's really a dark season...It does have some good episodes still though.. but yeah..And the angel business is still annoying. 

Your favorite episode 
I have a lot of favourite episodes.. but I guess I'll have to say Pac-man Fever. Because I love Dean and Charlie's relationship and it's shown here.. I love that we get to know her more and I love Sam's stubborness. It was just really sweet, without being completely sappy.

Your least favorite episode
Actually...the one with the greek gods. Where they find this dude who keeps dying all the time and finds out that his kid has the same thing. I really only remember that episode because I thought it was so bad. And boring.. xD

Your favorite Dean crying scene
Oh when Sam dies in season 2, obviously! 

Your favorite Sam crying scene
When Dean dies in season 3? xD I know there has been some really good ones despite that one, I just can't remember them right now.. xD 

Your favorite Dean death scene
Oh.. hmm...Well, we have a lot to choose from, don't we? Think I have to go with the season finale of season 3 again...Because that was a good one. 

Your favorite Sam/other death scene
Both Swan Song and All hell breaks loose are amazing death scenes.. I can't choose between those two. 
 
It also says other, so I guess I'll have to add that Bobby's death "episode" was also freaking fantastic... but it also made me so damn angry because Why the hell would you kill of Bobby Singer?????!?!?!

Your favorite quote
Oh man, there's too many.. I get happy everytime Dean make a reference to something nerdy.. I love when Dean asks "Can I shoot her?" and Sam answers "Not in public". I love when soulless Sam talks about Dean getting abducted and says that he's had time to adjust and the girl asks if it happened when they were kids and he answers "No, like about half an hour ago"
 
 
I love the moment between Agent Henricksen and Dean when he says "I shot the sheriff" and Dean can't help himself from saying "But you didn't shoot the deputy" Really.. there are too many great ones.
OH! And I liked it when Dean called Cas "A baby in a trenchcoat" when he didn't have his powers and Sam says "I think you hurt his feelings" only for Dean to later reference to this by saying "You know who whines? Babies" .You see, too many great ones. 

Your favorite funny scene
Ugh.. again.. so hard.. xD The entire "The French Mistake","Changing Channels" and "Yellow Fever"...Some scenes in "Frontierland".. every Ghostfacers episode..Idk.. maybe I'll go with the Cat scene from Yellow Fever. Because when I watched it the first time I had to rewind and watch it again, and again... xD 

A scene that makes you
sad/cry
See, favourite death scenes above. Also.. when Charlie reads to her mum for the last time. When the woman in Route 666 talks about what happened between her husband and the ghost who haunted them.. There are more that I noticed recently that I cried to but now I can't remember which ones that were.  Oh! When Bobby finds out that Dean has sold his soul for Sam's life. Man that was heartbreaking. OH! John's last talk with Dean before he dies too! 

A scene that makes you happy
Eh.. The hug between the brother's in Pac-man Fever.. seriously any brotherly moment makes me happy. And also every Charlie/Dean moment makes me happy. Specifically the "I Love You" "I know" part in Pac-man Fever. Any time Bobby's involved makes me happy too.

A scene that makes you angry
Metatron.. Need I say more? Also.. when Sam thought Dean sent him that voicemail about him being a freak, and now when Sam told Dean that he wouldn't had done the same, had Dean been the one who was dying. Sure I understand Sam's reasons for saying that and I don't hold it against him, but it still made me angry.. at the writers for creating that strain on them. Speaking of strains... also the one episode when they go to heaven and Dean realizes that he's not in any of Sam's happiest memories..Seriously.. any tear on their relationship makes me angry. 

An episode that scared you
At least this one is easy, considering I only have one. And that's the episode in season 3 with that old Doctor who lived forever by stealing organs from people. It was so unnerving for me... everything from operating on people while they're still awake, to Sam almost losing an eye to them burying the guy alive at the end.. Jesus christ that episode just hit me and hit me hard.. Everything about it was just so damn creepy.. I almost felt like taking a break from it because I just couldn't take it.

Your favorite SPN friendship
Beside the brothers and Bobby, it's definitely Charlie/Dean

Your favorite SPN romance
Hmm..I liked the whole Lisa and Dean thing but that wasn't because of Lisa, it was because of Ben. I also liked Sam with that girl he was with while Dean was in purgatory. Otherwise.. idk really..Mary and John, maybe?

Your favorite SPN song
Rengegade - Styx! Heh, you thought I was going to say Carry on Wayward Son, huh? ;) Seriously though, I loved the scene and fell in love with the song almost instantly, couldn't help but love it. 

Your favorite recap

Your favorite character entrance
Death. That was just soooo badass!

Your favorite minor character
Ronald!!! I adored that man, such a shame that he died...I also love the couple at the spn convention, but I don't remember their names at the moment. And Missouri, the psychic from season one! Here I'm just counting people who has only been in one or two episodes. If I'm also counting people who are in more but not all I'll have to add Becky, Jody Mills, Garth, Charlie, Gabriel, Balthazar, Bela, Crowley, Agent Henricksen, Rufus and Ellen. There are probably more but those are the ones I remember. 

The character that is most like you
I think Bobby's the most like me. He's calm and bitchy, but still helps out when he's needed and cares a hell lot about people. At first I was gonna say that I was a much more toned down version of Dean but then I realized that that's pretty much Bobby.. xD I have the geekiness of Dean though, and the whole overprotective thing (I mean I am the second to youngest among 4 siblings, but I feel like I need to take care of all of them. I'm like that with my closest friends too), and the "do it with a smile" attitude (and his sense of humour but I'm not as witty), Plus, I say Awesome a lot. And I share his opinions about food and music.. but I do love salad.
 
Okay.. so maybe I'm a combination of Dean and Bobby.. xD 

An episode you wish never happened
Eh...the start of season 9? I wish that Dean didn't have to save Sam that time I suppose. Because it all went downhill from there.  Also.. BOBBY DYING! 

Something that you wish happened but didn’t
Eh.. Bobby surviving? xD Gabriel actually being back and not some stupid plot device Metatron used to manipulate Cas... 

Your favorite SPN fanvid
I haven't seen any, sorry.. xD 

Your favorite season intro episode
Season 2 I think. That was a good one, I mean C'mon.. they killed off a pretty important character in the beginning of the season! 

Your favorite season finale
Swan Song was great, No rest for the wicked was great.. Season 8's was great too.. All Hell Breaks loose was also great.. xD I don't know.. 

Your favorite SPN fanfic
Eh well.. there was one that was actually pretty fantastic. It was an AU of the pilot episode where Dean was the one that went missing instead of their Dad... It was interesting and heartbreaking and Jess was amazing in it. Sadly it turned out to be Wincest.. and I didn't like that.. so I didn't read the sequel.. xD But despite that detail it was amazing! I've just recently started reading fanfiction and it takes some time to get through all the freaking Destiel fanfictions.. so I haven't really found much yet. 

Anything SPN related
Eh? what am I supposed to say here? xD 
I guess I could mention that the spn cast i probably one of the most hilarious casts I've ever come across. They're great and I love how characters who aren't on the show anymore still stick around as a part of supernatural. I also love that Mark Sheppard has "King of hell" on his bio on Twitter. 
 
I love that Misha is insane, and that even though I'm not a huge fan of Castiel, I am a huge fan of Misha. 
 
I love that Jared and Sam couldn't be any more unlike each other and that Jared really is a giant puppy. 
 
I love Jared and Jensen's friendship, I never get tired of watching panels with those two. They are hilarious. 
 
I love that Jensen seems like the calm and collected one, considering he plays Dean.. xD I do love him though, he's great.
