Howdy, folks~ Hope none of you got your panties in a twist over dA's little April Fool's joke. :B Let me send you a WHAMBULANCE if you did.

I was waiting to post this journal until April Fool's was well passed, since it would be open to much skepticism. But yes, like the title implies, I think I'm going on a hiatus for a little bit. Specifically a cosplay hiatus.

Lately, the hobby's been getting me down, which is a rather bad quality for a hobby. v_v; I've been feeling pretty down and out about cosplay for a while now; after a shitload of failed photoshoot attempts and some of the bad attitudes from other cosplayers... I dunno, I'm getting really tired of trying to even put forth much effort into it. Why bother especially if I can't take any pictures or wear my costumes to events? Quite plainly, it's POINTLESS at this point.

I've done this (sort of) with art; I'll get kinda put out over it, but once I take a break, I come back and it's fun again. Hopefully that's the case with this too. Granted I didn't have any shitty attitudes from other people in regards to my art, but whatever.

Anyway, cosplay videos, photoshoots, hell... even new costumes, probably won't be around for a while. I dunno when it'll all start going again; playing it by ear at this point. In regards to PCC.... Basically Seras is the only one I'm really set for at this point. I wanted to do the masquerade with Khokolotte and NumaFace, but schedules aren't working out, so if I even get another costume made, that'll be amazing. I might just break out old costumes again... who knows.

So anyway, less-than-perky journal is less-than-perky. XD;; Sorry folks.

Bawww.. I'm sorry to hear that you're going on hiatus. :C
If you ever need a dramallama slain, I will gladly do it! Especially if it's one caused by the attitudes of other cosplayers! You're way too awesome of a person to have people saying negative things about you. D<

Though, I respect your decision to take a break from cosplaying. Lately I've been feeling less enthusiastic about the hobby as well. Though I still to have a lot of fun doing it, I've just been incredibly unmotivated and indecisive recently. D:

I hope your hiatus passes quickly, so that you can continue to participate in cosplay shenanigans with everyone again. :3 Also, I look forward to seeing your Seras costume at PCC! I know it'll be EPIC. >D
