Närcon 2014 Assassin's Creed report.

Exactly as it sounds like - all the Asscreeds that I managed to hunt down and capture during the convention! So let me present, without further ado, my Assassin's Creed cosplay collection from Närcon 2014.

If you see a photo of yourself feel free to use it as you like, but please credit me and include a link to the blog entry you got it from.


First ones during the first day we got there. Million points for surviving in the temperatures, to all of you!


Man, I kinda want a wrist blade now...


From the newest game. A fun person to talk to too, threw me two different poses (if you do this your chances of getting a good photo taken grow a lot btw)(esp. with people whose cameras have weird blurry moments but then recover immediately for the next shot).


As you can see, Ezio is the most popular (tho Connor also gets some love).


But as you can see the newest game got some cool cosplays too - the one before and this at least.


Disco-sassin. I made weird sounds when I realized this costume was also AC. :D


wait what

Närcon 2014 report 5: lolitas off stage.


That's... one way of making a flower bed I suppose.

Anyways, onto more lolita and fashion!

Starting with the gyaru. Of all con-goers they seemed the most well-adjusted to the weather, also really cute.


Sometime earlier we found out there was going to be a lolita meet-up in Närcon and asked them on FB if we could join them for a bit. We were welcomed immediately and during a rare moment of not being needed elsewhere on NCC business we sneaked into our lolitas and over to the C-house garden. Btw note the dress on the right. :3


Well, sneaked - more like wandered around not entirely sure where to go, but S had some idea of the most likely location and voila! There they were!


Sadly we had very little time, so we tried to take as many group photos as possible so we wouldn't miss anyone -


- this time arranged into somewhat matching groups -


- and then we had to say goodbye and return to work. But it's always interesting to meet lolitas of other countries!


More lolita photos, in some kind of a chronological order. Sorry for cropping you so tight, again just trying to get rid of unwanted items on both sides of the photo... -.-


This was the first time we met the Dream Holic Wigs girl! I really loved her coords!


And then suddenly.

Khal Drogo photobomb.


This is so perfect. I cannot even. But I do curse my bad quality photo.


Creepy leg shot trouser leg detail.


Detail shot.


There were so many lovely lolitas in this convention!


Seriously in love with this coord. *_*


The same ouji who was wearing all white in the group photos - this photo is actually from the next day, right before the fashion show.


Some old school is always good! Especially when it's so well-executed!


We also found people to bully more cute lolitas at the Artist Ally. :D


Of course I needed a photo of every single one of them. :3


Haha, this photo's great! :D A better look at the "maid style" coord.


Here she is again. :D How did you manage to appear in so many of my photos without me noticing I was taking your photo over and over? :DDD No complaints though, it was great to have more detailed photos of your coord.


Here's that selfmade dress that I promised a better photo of - I loved it. The coord is also flawless.


Both S and I died a happy death when we spotted this one because dream dresses etc. you know the feel.


A definite old school sweet lolita coord, a picture perfect example of how it's done well!


More awesome outfits from the NCC team. :333


Närcon 2014 report 4: lolitas and other fashion!


But first feast your eyes on this little beauty. I had never had mochi ice cream before and I think I'm addicted... but of course you can't get them in Iceland, or if you can I don't know where. T^T

I realized I have a gazillion photos on this topic too so I'll have to post them in two separate entries to keep everything sort of tidy. Dividing them was real easy though - one entry for the Närcon 2014 lolita fashion show and another one for lolitas I met there.

If you see a photo of yourself feel free to use it as you like, but please credit me and include a link to the blog entry you got it from.


We start with the fashion show. Here's our announcer-chan - I don't know Swedish lolitas very well so I'm afraid I can't use anyone's nicks/names... another thing is that I've been kind of outside of the fashion for a few years and my vocabulary is lacking. I seriously felt clueless several times, so I'll just use the announcer-chan's descriptions as well as I can remember them for those ones that I felt confused about. 


The show was arranged in a quite interesting manner by not grouping any of the styles together, so I'll just go by what I had in my camera. A really cute sweet lolita for the start!


This one too was adorable. IN MY TIME this style would have been considered hime/borderline hime, but it was described as sweet instead (I gotta get my loli knowledge together).


Another sweet lolita, perhaps a really beautifully done old school coord.


A gothic lolita - I loved her dramatic coord!


Btw I have a soft spot for bright red so don't be surprised that I really loved this one!


I think this one was called cult party kei? Again the combination of bright red gives it a nice dramatic touch.


...I'm sorry random stranger in the audience for creepily taking a photo of your bag but the Cooking Hannibal badge won my heart...


This one was listed as a classic lolita I think? Or was it still among the sweet ones? Apologies, for some reason I really can't remember which line she stood in at the end. D:


I'm not entirely sure how I would flock this coord - a very nicely done coord at that by the way - but the announcer-chan called it "a bit more maid-style".


I have such a huge weak spot for this dress. It's that viking-inspired dress with shoulder buckles and a rune print around the hem...


If I get easily confused by lolita styles, let's not even start with gyaru! I know absolutely nothing. These two were called "Liz Lisa gyaru, twinning".


There was also a shironuri coord, very dramatic (I'm weak for dramatic costumes)(and horns).


I think this one was called "more marine style classic lolita". Well, I love classic and sailor as styles, I'll love them together as well!


...and here's one of my absolute favourites, the cutest otome ever. I love the simple elegance of the coord and idk she was just so well put-together. *_*


This one was so energetic! :D Loved the bubbles and the coord itself but sadly I have no idea what style it is - she was the last one in the her line and the announcer didn't say anything about her outfit, so if you can help a loli out pls do!


Another favourite from the show, her dress is handmade. *_* I met her later on and got a better photo, you'll see it in the next entry!


This girl was just made of perfection. We met her in the previous day and her coord then, as well as on stage, we both flawless! Turned out she was there representing Dream Holic Wigs.

I don't have nearly everyone here - I mostly concentrated on lolita for obvious reasons - but I know my friend got way more photos than I did, I'll link you guys to those when she puts them online. :)
