-Random Rants- Hostel rules and Cosplay

The common sense that has somehow become extinct in modern humans...

HOSTEL/HALL/DORM Rules:
  1. When laundry is done...TAKE IT OUT! There's only THAT many machines around and YOU DO NOT OWN IT.
  2. Do NOT take food or drinks from fridge that does not belong to you.
  3. Clean the fridge if you spilled anything liquid in it and throw away the carcass you've been storing for winter. STOP contaminating our fresh food!
  4. Respect ppl's privacy. It suxxs enough to live in a box...misery has NO SPACE for company.
COSPLAY Rules:
  1. Look in the mirror. CHECK YOUR WAISTLINE.
  2. Tolerance of +/-20% in face feature difference is acceptable. Heavy make-up is acceptable if you can pull it off.
  3. Leave cosplaying to the people blessed with good looks, money and talent.
  4. Beginners are welcomed...everyone has to start somewhere...but before you come out from behind the curtain, please make sure YOU are CURRENTLY in the RIGHT SIZE.
    (If you love the character, don't ruin his/her/its image)
  5. Stop sewing bits and pieces and claiming that it 'looks' like the real thing. How much effort/money you put in is shown clearly on the details in accessories, costume material, detail of make-up and etc.
  6. IF you really MUST cosplay because you LOVE it so much you'll die if you don't parade yourself...then you may do the following:
    • Cosplay as a mascot, a guardian force, a Chocobo, Panda, Moogle...anything to that effect. I'm sure the crowd will love you for who you really are.
    • Go for a diet and/or plastic surgery
Note:
  • This may be very offensive to some but I'm seriously sick of cosplayers who degrade themselves and the characters they were 'supposedly' cosplaying. (I get a painful stab in the heart everytime i see a size 'XXL' Rinoa cosplayer...)
