Really wish i had thought out this sydney trip properly so i couldve brought my cosplay to wear to the anime con

Oh hey did you hear about the new attack on titan game that’s coming out?!

Yeah i have! Im kinda interested in it, especially since playing through the story as a veteran scout sounds cool. Though, i'm not sure im willing to drop hundreds of dollars on a switch 2 (which would be my choice of console for this) when the game comes out. I have seen the gameplay footage but so far it hasnt won me over something I'd want to get immediately.

Though with saying that, if i do decide to get the game, i know i'll probably sink tons of hours in to it lol

Misc concert night thoughts below

-IT WAS SO AWESOME!! Oh my god I'm so glad they came to Melbourne I truly love the soundtrack and being able to listen to it in a big theatre space (again) was incredible! I'm hoping that the new Symphony from Paradis comes here because I WILL GO.

-My favourite tracks they played were ətˈæk 0N tάɪtn (WMId), XL-TT, Rittaikidou (this track is probably like my favourite from the entire actual ost I love it so much), Splinter Wolf, Guilty Hero, An Ordinary Day, and the Barricades encore. Though this mainly applies to hearing it live (and feeling it too)

-Oh I cosplayed Hange! After the show ended I got a few compliments and some asked for photos. Was really happy with my overall look and when I got home I didn't even want to take it off (but alas I had to). Definitely gonna be wearing this again in the future for a con or something. Though, I think I'll either get better 3dmg harnesses or just make them myself bc fuck those leg straps would NOT stay in place

-On this, I did buy a wig but didn't end up using it (sorta) because I know next to nothing about hair styling and the wig was quite finicky. So I though of a solution: Just styling my own hair and using the clip on ponytail that came with the wig because my hair (mainly the back) isn't quite long enough to match manga Hange's hair. Luckily the colour of the wig matches my own dark brown hair so it blended seamlessly and looked really good. Also shout outs to my mum for helping me out with this!

-Also soz I didn't get any good pics at the venue because we didn't really have time before the show or during the intermission, and afterwards my friend had to gun it to the train station so we missed out on doing it </3. Maybe in the future...

-Venue wasn't no Sydney Opera House but it was still pretty nice! Though the crowd here was much more responsive than last years and when the show ended, people were chanting "Shinzo Wo Sasagyo!" which was pretty fun (and yeah I did say it too lol)

-One of my coworkers who went yesterday night said that there was someone dressed as the Armoured Titan. Funnily enough, there was an Armoured Titan at the Sydney show so I wonder if they were the same person. And I only saw it from a vlog because I went on a different night to that person last year, but the costume wasn't a skinsuit and it was like. Proper looking armour with rocky texture and everything and it looked SICK. Wish I could've seen it myself dsjfhd

-Also I've heard people talk about on like Reddit, but yeah the horns section was often drowned out by everything else which was a shame </3

I hate putting the 3dmg harness on so fucking much

[maple-mustard]

Finally finished my custom Survey Corps jacket! It's a modified version of this pattern to resemble the one from the games because I thought it'd look more stylish. I started this project back in May and got the actual sewing done over June, finishing just in time before the Beyond the Walls concert on Monday haha.

I dyed the heavy denim+lining myself and hand embroidered the small Wings of Freedom patches, while the big one is from here.

AoT short stories 3 volume 20: Mike's game record

(From the short stories booklet that comes with the final season part 1 manga boxset)

A little while after the 57th Expedition Beyond the Walls, Survey Corps member Mike was entrusted with observing the new recruits, and so he waited in a facility in Wall Rose’s south district.

He happened to pass by his corpsmate Nanaba as he was on a security patrol, and he went to talk to her to in part make sure of her mission.

“Is the suspect really among those kids…?”

“This is in line with Erwin’s explanation. We’ll continue to wait here with them so long as the possibility exists.”

“They’re fresh recruits on edge after just experiencing the world outside the Walls. It doesn’t seem like a very good idea to make sit still and not move a muscle.”

Mike considered his kind corpsmate’s words.

“You’re right… Prepare a diversion, at least.”

***

“Sorry to keep you waiting, recruits. You’re going to have to sit here a little longer. I know this doesn’t make up for that, but I have brought you a care package.”

The fresh members of the 104th Survey Corps, who had been gathered in a single room, were then given drinks, scrounged-together books, and anything else that might distract them even a little bit.

“Where’d you get this from?”

“All kinds of places. That board game belongs to the Survey Corps.”

Among the items was a board game where you moved pieces to play war. The recruit who had picked it up then found a scrap of paper covered in scribbles.

“Um, this was in the box of pieces.”

“Ah, game records. I’ll give those to Mike.”

Nanaba took the paper and went to return it to Mike, the person in charge of the area.

[White: Soldier 5-8. Clever move.]

[Black: Knight 1-9. Questionable move.]

[White: King 0-3. Black has advantage.]

“Mike, this looks like your handwriting, but I never knew you had a hobby like this,” Nanaba casually asked Mike about what he’d seen while they travelled together, causing Mike to snort and take the paper.

“To entertain others.”

Because of his rank of Squad Leader, he often accompanied Erwin, leader of the Survey Corps, when he visited the aristocrats and wealthy traders to ask for their support.

Known far and wide for his quick wits, Erwin would often be asked by aristocrats who had an interest in this game to play them in a match. On the way home from one such match, the leader of the Survey Corps sat inside his carriage, shoulders shrugged.

“Don’t you think it’s ironic? While aristocrats are playing and moving soldiers atop a board, the actual soldiers fighting on the front lines don’t have the time for this kind of recreation.”

“… So you entertain them with these games for the sake of the military’s budget.”

Alongside Erwin, Mike had been forced to wait by his side the entire time. Though internally dumbfounded, he looked at the scene through the carriage window expressionlessly. Erwin smirked at him.

“It’s common practice to keep records of matches. A player’s personality comes out in these records and can’t be deciphered by others… almost like a code.”

“Heh… Is that so.”

In other words, when Erwin entertained aristocrats with a game, he was on the surface fulfilling their desires, but at the same time he collected information about their likes and relationships that he used in order to raise money and procure operational materials from them.

“I see. So the matches you sometimes play with Erwin are like transfers of such coded messages. Still, I’m impressed you learned the rules. I learned them back in the Training Corps, so I’ve forgotten them by now.”

“… They’re simple once you remember them. You only move one piece on the board at a time, anyway. They have limited ways of movement too,” Mike and Nanaba discussed as they went to check on the recruits, only to find them playing that exact game.

“Aaa-choo!”

“Agh! Connie, what’d you do to Reiner’s pieces?!”

“Ah! The board is a mess! So does Bertolt win by catastrophe here?”

The massive sneeze let out by the small recruit led to the table getting shaken, knocking down all the carefully placed pieces. As all the recruits laughed, the tense atmosphere seemed to relax a bit.

“… A real battlefield is full of unknown variables like that”

“Yeah, the game is much easier on you. I wonder what Erwin is doing right about now…”

Nanaba glanced up at the north-facing window. Mike joined her. A grand match that would go down in Survey Corps history seemed to await them on the other side of the sky they saw.
