// Hi! Do you have a dream cosplay? Maybe one you might even feel couldn’t be accomplished, yet?! What is it?//

One of my dream cosplays was done last year - Final Fantasy VIII Siren Summon. I dreamed about *being* her since I played the game in middle school, and patiently waited until I had the skills to make her properly as I envisioned the design. I’d like to do KOSMOS ver. 4 from Xenosaga III but don’t yet have the armor know-how.

Ask me anything!

// Are you good at keeping secrets?//

I’m a Fort Knox of secrets! …Yeah ok not quite maybe..

Ask me anything!

// Cosplayer or Cosmaker?//

Cosplayer implies the person made the costume as well (or I always assumed so), otherwise they’d be a cosplay model.

Ask me anything!

// Do you ever watch movies more than once?//

Most good movies I’ll watch at least 2 times, movies I only watch once have to be very mediocre or offensive to my taste.

Ask me anything!

// Waffles or pancakes?//

Neither, crepes!

Ask me anything!

// Hey Etaru! Are you attending Fanime this year?//

Yes I am! I’ll have a slew of new costumes, and I’m helping host a Cosplay Photography panel on Saturday 11am - http://www.facebook.com/events/325351974186407/

Ask me anything!

// Has someone younger than you inexplicably made you their hero/role-model, and for the life of you, you can’t figure out why?//

I honestly don’t know, my younger sister looked up to me for a lot of years (and I set a high bar to reach in academics), but no one I know of.

Ask me anything!

// Are you shy?//

Nope. I used to be quite awkward and quiet around groups of people (I don’t think the awkward changed any over the years lol), but after high school Speech&Debate I became much more comfortable being my natural extrovert.

Ask me anything!

// Oday ouyay eakspay igpay atinlay?//

Nope. I only speak real languages.

Ask me anything!

// Would you be a good babysitter?//

Why yes :) I babysat my sister, her friends, and our cousins when they were little.

Ask me anything!

// So, what do you think of tattoos? Have any yourself? Any plans for them?//

They can be either very tasteful and full of meaning, or just body art that people will regret later. I don’t have any, mostly because I don’t trust myself to pick a design or theme that I will look back on in 20 years and still be proud of.

Ask me anything!
