I knew a guy in high school who silk-screened his own shirt that read "Happy 9/11” with cute little burning cartoon towers and a plane flying towards them.

This was in like 2003. People were not happy

If anyone tries to call you out on it call them woke.

This was a spectacle and a real cultural landmark but goddamn is the plot convoluted and near impossible to follow.

is the original image still around somewhere? who is stephen roth's face?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is the version 2 of this image, which had to be changed into a shitty cosplayer due to copyright complaints about using official sephiroth art.

Can any sephiroth cosplay be anything but shitty? His character design looks like it would look horrible irl no matter what.

I think it's mainly the armoured trenchcoat, there are some topless versions of him that look decent.

Kinda has a Witcher vibe to him.

I think you can, but we're talking a lot of expensive fabrics/leather/metal, interfacing, boning, foundation garments. You'd need to custom build the girdle and then drape the coat over it. That is...it'd need to be clothing, not costume.

And if you're spending the same amount of money and effort you would on a handsewn Bespoke Suit or an 18th century gown or a armor set...why not just make that instead?

I'm not sure. I think the outfit fundamentally just comes across as campy when you bring it to reality, which is a problem when you're trying to project a kind of sinister alien living-god aura that you can't quite understand.
