A facepalm is really just a person running present on the internet. But the term was first used for comic book friends. They love the same manga, or they love the same game. The online users who have a strong love for the second generation of the Internet meet offline, that is, face to face.
Naturally, I'm an avid fan of the second generation.
Since I was a kid, I grew up watching Japan. In elementary school, I was madly obsessed with the magical girl Sakura. From time to time, I fantasize about having a magic wand. Then waved it and said: hidden dark power of the key ah! Show me your true power! Sakura, who has made a pact with you, commands you that the seal be lifted!
Naturally the fantasies never materialized once. Then came Inuyasha, Deacon Black, Shinigami ..... Those days are really with the state of fish can not live without water.
The craziest time was in 2009 when N1N1 was raging in a big way, and I was unfortunately caught up in it. I was hospitalized for more than half a month. The hospitalization was not pleasant for sure. But at that time, I was watching my anime, Black Deacon, in the hospital ward.
Dad loved me. Hospitals have TVs, and at that time, DVD players were not yet in most families. But my family had. My dad brought the DVD player and my anime DVDs to the hospital and installed them on the TV monitor.
Since then, I've been living like a king in the hospital. There's nothing better than watching anime.
Then I was on my way to anime. And I vowed to learn Japanese and come back for more.
When I entered the university, I wanted to join the anime club. But I don't know where the gossip came from. The anime club needs to buy its own cosplay, and the cost of each piece is a lot of money. This is not consistent with the thrifty and frugal me aura. Naturally, I didn't go.
So I graduated. When I had a job of my own, I joined the social cos group.
I remember the audit of the group is to submit a form, their name, cell phone number, cn, school, good at and so on. The first time I joined the group I didn't know what cn meant, and asked: cn is a stage name?
The majority of the group are little boys and girls, and most of them are high school students, middle school students. I'm really an old auntie to them.
But I still stayed in the group with a thick skin, and paid attention to the group's news, and actively participated in the group's activities. I often forwarded cosplay to them to raise their attention. And I was y shocked in each forwarding, and felt a sense of tingling from the soles of my feet, if only I was inside the photo.
My deepest impression is that a little girl in the group asked: Guess what color lipstick is on my mouth? She took a picture of just below her lips. From the background it was clear that she was a student. Or a high school student.
"Plum red, I think," I replied to the group, as did others. I couldn't really tell what color it was due to the selfie with filter. And I can't remember what the final answer was. I just remembered that later in the group we talked about "Arashi", who is a very interesting game commentator on the B-station.
In the group, I had no sense of generation gap at all, I don't know if I was too naive or they were too mature.
Hot chat for more than a month, the first activity release is a prefix for 'dance' little girl 'meow sauce' said to choreograph an otaku dance. Recruitment of people to teach the dance after the video. And I signed up.
This was my first face-off.
The process of interviews is to tell me in advance where I am, what I am wearing, you are in the subway station, wait for me, I will be right there. Of course I was the first to the subway entrance. Then I need to stand here one by one to recognize who next is the accomplice.
Meet only to find that some you think is a boy is a girl, some you think is very cheerful but meet the words do not say. But there is one thing you can not deny, that is, they are very young. And young is all the capital.
After getting to know each other, recognizing each other, and remembering each other, we started to teach dance.
I have watched the Spring Festival dance, I thought the dance is the dome of strength, but the house dance has greatly subverted my imagination, perhaps just this dance?
The name of our otaku dance is: together. a dance relay activity initiated on the B station.
This dance is a bit like a gently glorified version of a square dance from my perspective. There are no difficult movements, nor any special flavor. Just jump over and over.
As the oldest, and started to work, I always have to think a little more. The first meeting training dance break, I bought a bottle of mineral water for each of them. This is not expensive, and can express my attitude of pulling into the relationship.
But they were so understanding that only two of the boys, and one of the girls, took the water, and the girl who teaches house dance and the others declined.
But in the end, after the training was over, I slipped the water into her bag.
And that was my experience with the cos face-off.
Naturally, there was a cosplayer get-together afterward.
Naturally, there are cosplayer dinners afterward. There are also online school friends and hobbies, as well as hanfu hobbyists. These stories have to be told in a different way.
