Cosplay Monday

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

Greetings, Earthlings! Today is Monday. I’m sharpiesgal and I’ll be your lovely host for this week.

My first theme will be cosplay. Prompts should have some relation to costumes, costume creation, costume contests, etc.

The rules are as follows:

1. No more than five prompts in a row.
2. No more than three prompts in a fandom.
3. No spoilers in prompts.
4. If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space.

Prompts should be formatted as follows:
Fandom, Character+/Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the juices flowing:
-Iron Man, Tony Stark, he likes to dress up as Captain America and go to conventions
-Burn Notice, Michael/Fi, spies often times have to create disguises on the fly
-The Sentinel, Jim Ellison/Blair Sandburg, going undercover at the Emerald City Convention as costume contest judges

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Visit the lonely prompts at delicious.com/commentfic and brighten someone’s day. For more recent prompts to write, you can also use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community.

Naoki Urasawa's Monster, Johan + Nina, for a moment she thinks there's a mirror, but she knows that hollow smile.

Cthulhu Mythos, Nyarlathotep, human veil.

Any, any + any, one of them is pretending to be a monster and the other is pretending not to be.

D.Gray-man, Tyki, sometimes he doesn't know which of his identities is the costume.

Merlin BBC/Avengers movieverse, Merlin/Loki, Loki places his helmet on Merlin's head like a crown

Torchwood, Jack/Ianto, going to a sci-fi convention, because where else would a Klingon that fell through the rift hide?


Feel free to substitute another alien

Assassin's Creed, Ezio, he tries to stop people from copying his robes and hood

need galaxy quest icon

Galaxy Quest, ensemble, the conventions are the best place to get extras (and often, their costumes are better than the ones made by the professionals)

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Futurama, ensemble, science fiction conventions and cosplay are very different in 3013 (mostly because they degenerate into robo-humanoid costumed orgies)

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

Any, any, casual friday just got a whole lot more fun

Vikings, Athelstan, he's been wearing the Northmen's clothes for so long that when he finally finds his way back into a monastery, into a monk's robe, it feels like a costume

[samueljames]

Queer As Folk (UK), Stuart/Vince, roleplaying as the Doctor and Simm!Master.

[tigriswolf]

Bones/The Crow, Sweets, anything involving Sweets and the crow (seriously, his makeup in Mayhem on a Cross? Dude.)

[tigriswolf]

Harry Potter, author’s choice, Harry Potter died with his parents. The person living with the Dursleys’ is an amnesiac Tom Riddle – and getting the Hogwarts letter wakes him right up. What does he do with this second chance?

[tigriswolf]

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (2010), the princes, an heir, a spare, and a gutter rat dressed in finery he’d never expected to wear

[tigriswolf]

Bones, Sweets, the apprentice is expendable – and so is the man terrorized into pretending to be a serial killer who gets shot by the FBI (and you wait, held for 72 hours, and inside you smile, showing all your teeth, and once you’re released, you’ll never be suspected again)

[tigriswolf]

Bones, Sweets, he wonders if he'll ever stop feeling like a little kid, dressed in his dad's clothes, pretending to be man (and Dr. Brennan makes another snarky comment about psychology, and Agent Booth laughs about Sweets' age, and 20 years ago today he was removed from his biological father's 'care' - but Lance just smiles at Brennan and Booth, and he wears his professional clothes, and he fakes knowing exactly what he's doing because he is alive)

Fringe, Fauxlivia, She finds that dressing up as Olivia, pretending to be her, is both fascinating and frightening.

gen, disturbing

(So, I was going for creepy. I'm not sure how well I succeeded. Warnings for mentions of death and violence. )

Mustn't be too old, or too short, or too pretty, or too hideous. Any of those draws attention, and mustn't draw attention until the time is right.

Mustn’t have too much family; mustn’t have too little. Maybe a few siblings, the better to get lost in the shuffle, or maybe no siblings at all so that no one notices when things go slightly off.

Mustn’t be too loud or too quiet; mustn’t have friends.

Perhaps a job; perhaps not. What is the endgame this time?

This time, there is a shadow blending in on a tree branch, on the far side of the playground.

This time, the endgame is to sow as much horror as possible in as short a time as possible.

This time, the meatsuit is a pretty little cherub, beloved darling of the town.

This time, a shadow whispers, don’t you want to play? in little Annie’s ear, and little Annie’s curls bounce as she nods her head, giggling with her new friend, and when little Annie turns, her eyes are as black as her new kitten’s fur.

That evening, the massacre in the heart of America makes the news on every channel, and little Annie no longer has a kitten to cuddle until she sleeps.
