Ask a BLU Sniper!

I'm Eugene Mundy, a BLU Sniper. Ask me anythin', ya wankers! Ask Box is closed, on hiatus. M!A Status: None. This blog will update when I can.

[askcosplaysniper]

So I'm sure it doesn't really need to be said, but I still want to. I'm sure y'all have noticed that I've not been active for almost 5 months and never got around to another answering session. I'm sure some of you have noticed the ask box and submit box have been closed since then and I've not actually mentioned anything.

I've lost the motivation to keep up with this blog. It honestly happened a while back and I was trying to push through it, but it started feeling forced and not honest to the character I created. Part of it came from my limited space to move in, being trapped in my room for most of it. Part of it comes from my inability to participate with others. Another part of it is due to my slowly shifting interests, especially since I can't play TF2 with a fucked up wrist and no proper controllers.

So I'm announcing an indefinite hiatus. Maybe I'll come back one day and don that dorky hat again. Maybe I'll never come back to this blog and Eugene will just become a fond memory rather than a prominent thing in my mind. 

I will NOT be deleting the blog nor any of the answers and images I've posted. Just think of it as an archive. 

I am also NOT retiring the costume, I will still wear the BLU Sniper uniform at least one day in the few cons I go to. Though I can't say that I'll be doing it in a few years.

If any of you want to or need to contact me for any reason, you can find me at my personal blog.

I do want to thank all of you wonderful followers for the fun that we shared back in the day when I was active. For all the silly asks, the weird M!A's, the amazing responses from my fellow ask blog mods. Though I won't thank you guys for the night I made myself sick off of Nutella... I hope you all had fun as well.

Thanks again, mates.

Hey! I was the blu medic without the payload cart at the valve meet. your cosplay was really cool!

The one who healed me after CBS attacked the cart... then died as well, right? XD

[askcosplaysniper]

Yeah, I would love to see more Demos! I also heard there was a Saxton Hale there, but I never saw him. AND WELL, HERE I AM, IN ALL MY CHEESE-SCENTED GLORY! (Also, it was a delight meeting you!)

Oh man, I'm sad I missed him! I've seen a Saxton at SDCC and props to him for being bold enough to shave his chest hair.... *Sprays with Old Spice* (Same! :D)

Here’s the story:

It was Day 3, and I knew that I wouldn’t be seeing many TF2 cosplayers, due to the fact that the Valve Gathering had been the day before. We were walking out to take a shuttle to the hotel, when I saw a RED Medic in the distance. It was only the second time I had seen a TF2 cosplayer that day, so I decided that I wanted to take a photo with them, and hopefully they would allow it. I shouted, “MEDIC!” and they came over, agreeing to take a photo.

Mere seconds after we took the first photo, the Medic saw another Sniper and a Spy walking around. They called the two over, while telling me, “Don’t worry, they’re REDs too. We’ll be okay.” And we took another photo.

A huge shoutout to you three for taking photos with me, outside in the blazing heat. ; o ; I was the awkward RED Anger Sniper. You guys were the only TF2 cosplayers I saw that day and took photos with.

These two photos are also the first photos I’ve ever taken in full cosplay, and thanks to you guys, I have decided that I want to cosplay more in the future. Thank you for being so patient with me (I had to take off my glasses, and then put on the hood, veil, and aviators — it’s hard to when you’re clumsy like me).

Also thank you to the Medic and their friend for complimenting my horrid cardboard Tribalman’s Shiv;;; it meant a lot to me!

If you guys know who these people are, please help me identify them! :)

EDIT: The Huntsman Sniper is inkyshark and the Spy is do-you-feel-tres-bon.

Ah! I didn't realize anyone got photos of me in my RED costume! :D Thank you for posting these and I'm really glad you've decided to cosplay more! It's amazingly fun and you can meet so many wonderful people!! Good luck in the future with your cosplays!

[askcosplaysniper]

Hey you! I saw you! We must cosplay together again sometimes! Even though I'm on the other side.

I saw you too! And watched you get stabbed... But you were RED, so it's okay. XD I swear, we need some sort of just Valve con so that we can all meet up and have fun.

[askcosplaysniper]

We may have only had one Demo, but what a great Demo they were!

I know! It just makes me sad Demo doesn't get too much love in the cosplay world. We need more Demo cosplayers!! Also, you never told me your Tumblr name! I would have tagged you in those, you cheese scented woman!

I’ll upload more photos later! These are the ones on my phone! askcosplaysniper

[askcosplaysniper]

Hahah, I love the fact that you got actual selfies for that part too! 

[askcosplaysniper]

Anime Expo Valve Gathering pt. 7, I think. Phone pictures this time around.

Decided to be silly and do team selfies. The poor RED Sniper in question is portersbats... Don't take selfies when BLU Spies are about.

And that was a legit place near the LACC. CONGA.

[askcosplaysniper]

FINALLY GOT THE PICTURES AFTER LIKE THREE DAYS OF BUGGING. 

So would you all want me to post a single Imgur link with them all contained or would you rather me just post them in groups?

[askcosplaysniper]

Do you skyrim

Ya know, surprisingly I haven’t. I just got it an’ I haven’t started it yet…

[demandeauspyblu-blog]

… A little of both. How about you ask a different question? There’s your problem with your lock, it’s hardly my fault that it was crap to begin with.

[askcosplaysniper]

My lock was perfectly fine until you picked it or what ever you did. Opened an' closed normally an' my key didn't stick in th' slightest. Now I gotta put my feet on th' sides of it sometimes an' yank th' damn thing out. Wanker. You owe me a new one.
