As a dabbler in yarncrafts, I was ridiculously excited to see these pokemon trainers and their amazing crocheted Pokemon! Super impressive!
One half of Team Rocket has his very own Umbreon!
A simple yet unique and clever cosplay (I like that she even has the gold bands on her wrist in the form of bracelets!). Love these two, both as cosplayers and people!
Hello Baby Dragon,
It’s the end of July and that means you’ll be here in a month and a few days. (Probably. Everyone keeps telling me babies arrive when they want to.) I’m extremely excited to meet you, to see who you’ll be, what you’ll like, how much you’ll sleep.
Everyone else is just as excited to meet you. You already have fans among our friends. It’s amazing to see people who we don’t get to talk to much get really excited about you.
Right now the person who seems most excited to meet you is your grandfather. He’s making sure that everything will be perfect for you. Even stressing your mom and I a little with his excitement. You’re really lucky to have him. He seems gruff sometimes but he has the biggest heart and will accomplish impossible things for those he loves. He’s a wonderful father, father in-law, and he’ll be a fantastic grandfather.
It’s going to be amazing to see you grow and become your own person. It’ll also be amazing to see what happens in the world and with technology during your life.
You’ll always think I’m old, but in my 33 years I’ve seen some astounding scientific and technological changes. The Chicken Pox and HPV vaccines, the internet, the discovery of the Higgs Boson, interactive media, and so many music and video formats it’s not funny.
Right now the world is obsessed with a game called Pokémon Go. You might remember it (I’m sure we’ll play it for at least 2 or more years.) It a game that players walk around and look for digital things in the real world. Using GPS and a map of landmarks, the game randomly generates Pokémon (cute pocket monsters).
For you, this will be an old idea but for the rest of the world it’s something new. I predict that when you look back at 2016 it won’t be 4k TVs or another feeble attempt at virtual reality that is the big tech news, but the dawn of augmented reality. It has the potential to change the way we interact with our world.
We live in exciting times and you’ll see your old Papa geek out a lot over new technology. I hope it’s something we can share.
I love you Baby Dragon,
Your Papa Éric
I am once again showing my ignorance, as I only know the middle character: Pikachu! I was blown away by the intricacy and prop work of these costumes, and couldn’t resist getting a picture, even though I don’t know who they’re cosplaying as!
Edit: They are Pit and Lady Palutena from Kid Iccarus and Smash Brothers Brawl!
