So I was minding my own business at Comic-con...

And this girl gives me this snide look. I'm in fursuit, wearing Balas, all fine and happy. Everyone is having a good time, I've already gotten stopped for several pictures. Good stuff. lol, So this girl, must've been around my age or younger, gives me this look after one of her guy friends points me out asking "What's that?"
She gives me that typical "I'm a bitchy valley girl" glare and says, loud enough for everyone around to hear, "What the hell IS that?" As though she were so utterly disgusted with whatever it was I was. xD
So finally, she actually directs a question in MY direction, "What ARE you?" That same snide tone in her voice. xD
So I say, as cheerfully as I do anyone who asks, "A cheetah!"
I think one of her guy friends said, "Oh, a cat." Or something else non-offensive.
She, of course, doesn't drop her bitchy attitude and is like, "What the hell?" Like it's somehow so hard to imagine that I might possibly be just a cat, for whatever reason. I think she asked "What for?" or something to that effect, still trying to be a bitch.
I was going to do my utmost to make her feel like a dumbass while being cheerfully friendly, until her other guy friend, who hadn't spoken yet, asks me something but I don't hear. I ask him to repeat. He asks again, once more I can't hear. So I'm already getting flustered seeing as he's just laughing and here I am in a big poofy head I can't hear in, not to mention we're standing in a crowded con, it's just not working.
But I think he was just being a dumbass anyway, because whatever he was saying made his other friend laugh, and I hadn't heard it twice.
Finally I point to my ears and shrug, indicating I can't hear. I was intent to walk away.
Until finally he says it loud enough for me to hear, "You gonna' shag someone?"
Part of me was confused, the other part took it as a CSI furpile crack and got mildly annoyed.
So I ask, "What?" Somewhat flabbergasted.
He asks it again. Same wording (which was a bit weird, lol).
So by this time, I'm already kinda' pissed off and not in the mood to have some late teen/early twenty-somethings be crackin' furfag jokes all while I stand around looking like a dumbass.
So after he says it the second time, I rip off my head like a badass (poor Balas, lol) and glare at the guy super hardcore, taking a step forward and ask again, "What did you just say?"
Now, maybe I looked scary, I don't know. Keep in mind I've got a black balaclava on underneath the head, Balas' jaw still hanging off my chin as I stare daggers at this dude and look ready to throw down. xD
His expression goes to pure emotionless fear for a second, and then he chuckles nervously saying, "I'm just kidding."
Not a word from his bitchy ass chick friend. xD
By that point, I'm just pissed and looking for an excuse and ask him sternly, "Yeah?"
He says, "Yeah..." *awkwardly quiet*
So I simply say, "Good." And walk away. xDDD
Meanwhile my mother (whom I always go to Comic-con with seeing as we're equally nerdy xD) halted several paces away and I move to catch up with her. She was all confused and asked, "What happened?"
I told her the story and she just looked completely confused like, "Why would you even mess with a costumer period?"
Especially when everyone else would tell me how much they lvoed my costume and how cute it was (every kid wanted a hug and a picture, lol). It was just stupid. xD
Was the only time I've ever been stopped by someone who didn't want a picture or was offering me a compliment or something. lol
I was all shaking afterward, kinda' bummed I didn't get to beat the shit out of some people in suit. xD
Balas is red, blood won't show. xDDD
Moral of the story is, I don't take stupid shit from people, no matter the situation. But it hardly ever happens when I suit. This was the only time I had trouble with someone in the 1-2 years I've been suiting. Normally it's just the drunk people who want to talk to you and touch you excessively you need to look out for. xD
But this was just dumb. lol
But it made me laugh. I must have scared the shit out of that guy. Maybe I look scary in a ninja mask or something. xDDD
Anyway, that's my Friday Comic-con story. xD
Jackal debuts tomorrow. Whether he's ready to or not. LOL xD

Jackal debuts tomorrow. Whether he's ready to or not. LOL xD
I wish I could be intimidating lol
Hope your next day is better!
That and I got to see William Shatner, so that was a bonus. lol ;3
That jackal's gonna kick some ass.
I thought someone was trying to talk shit today (while I had my head off) and I was so ready to throw down. xD
Two things got in the way.
1) My fursuit making partner warned me not to fight in the jackal since he was so hard to put together. xD
2) I wasn't sure the comment was aimed at me, and I'm not even certain what the comment was.
And I didn't want to be "that person" who gets in someone's face only to find out he wasn't talking shit about me in the first place. xD
I wanna see dat jackal!
That's so awesome! I'm very eager to see how it came out, and hopefully we can suit together for a minute at the next FC.
>w<
I'm almost going insane with excitement about getting Cocoa soon. I keep torturing myself by staring at the WIPs for way too long....lmao. I can bee so spazzy sometimes, but i hope that having a fursuit to run around in will mellow me out some. :P
But it's still fun, and you'll keep doing it none the less. xD
I do airbrushing, yes, but I'm still not perfect at it. Someone told me the airbrushing was well done on my mask, but I don't happen to think so. lol, I need to cut out my stencils and do a test run on long fur before I go putting any ink on my jackal's body. I'm worried the more intricate designs will get lost on the longer fur since it lays differently in motion. We'll see how it goes. ;3
Airbrushing on masks, however, is easy and not too difficult since that fur gets trimmed pretty short. xD, But I put some on a bit too thick on the jackal mask. Live and learn and all that jazz. lol
But yeah, they're prolly just used to people ignoring them or something. lol
