Description Horray for lazy sundays. Love and me spend all day in bed, reading fanfiction (didn't do that in ages), due to her being still sick. And the basic of my Lohengrin costume is done and it's totally wonderful! I missed wearing garment like that.

*JulianMoore and me took some pics yesterday that were a little different and some of them turned out quite cool. I know that I tend to stress the term 'cosplay' sometimes and these aren't really cosplay anymore, but it still is a character portrayed.
I start with this because *Evil-Uke-Sora just said that this is her all-time-favourite picture of me. So here we go, love. This is for you.

(me) as Riku
Kingdom Hearts II

There's an attic where children are playing,
where I've got to lie down with you soon,
in a dream of Hungarian lanterns,
in the mist of some sweet afternoon.
And I'll see what you've chained on your sorrow,
all your sheep and your lilies of snow -
Take this waltz, take this waltz
with its "I'll never forget you, you know!"

And I'll dance with you in Vienna,
I'll be wearing a river's disguise.
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
my mouth at the dew of your thighs.
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
with the photographs there and the moss.
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty,
my cheap violin and my cross.
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
to the pools that you lift on your wrist -
O my love, o my love
Take this waltz, take this waltz,
it's yours now. It's all that there is.

I have to say that, while your Riku cosplay's androgyny works well in your pictures, your lovely feminine qualities peek through in beautiful moments like these.

And I LOVE your eyes! I've never seen contacts so brilliant! How do you pull off that color?

P.S.
Sorry to hear your love is sick, but still glad that you're both together!!!

I have to say that while your Riku cosplay androgyny works well in a lot of your pictures, your feminine qualities do peek through in beautiful moments such as these.

I love your eyes! I've never seen contacts that brilliant! How do you pull off that color?

Sorry your love is sick, glad to know you're both still together!!!

This picture is just too beautiful. I can understand why it's her favorite, it's a really lovely shot. ^^ You're right in that it's not exactly traditional cosplay, but I've always said that the best thing about your pictures is the character! Your costumes are magnificent, of course^^ but you also always reflect so much of the emotion and situation so that your cosplay becomes something a lot more meaningful.
This one is a very simple shot, but in terms of meaning it is overflowing. I don't know, I guess the lyric helps a lot (it's one of my oldest favorites and I always get choked up hearing it), but this just seems so... quietly intense. It's odd because although it can be very Riku, it also kind of seems quite personal to you, and it's so overhwelming that I get the feeling that in some ways it can be both. I look once or twice and I see a million different emotions flitting across your face, and I look again a third time and I see something much deeper and serene...
And here I am rambling again but it's just so hard to express in words the impression this leaves on me.

That sounds like the very best kind of day. ^^ Glad you could enjoy that resting time with your love, I'm sure you both deserve it! Hope we get to see Lohengrin sometime, classic styles really are fun. ^^
Thank you so much for sharing this pic, it's truly lovely.

I love this one because of how it looks like the darkness is kind of looming over you.
But it could also be the tired side of you .
That's always a possibility.

This is so lovely, I can see why it's her favorite, and I'm pretty sure this is my new favorite from you as well. ^^ I agree with the person before me, I also see more you than Riku. You're so beautiful, as are the lyrics. The pose is just wonderful.

And that's such a great way to spend a Sunday. ^^ I hope she's feeling better and I'd so love to see some Lohengrin photos in the future. n_n

I've always adored your pictures (I mean, c'mon, where else are you going to find a dancing Riku?!) but this is one of my favorites.
If I ever meet you one day, be prepared for major glomping.

I love this shot, Nanjo! You and Evil-Uke-Sora are by far the greatest KH cosplayers I have ever seen. Take a gander at my gallery when you have some time.
