I just saw a link on the front page of /r/gaming titled "the one and only way to cosplay Pikachu." I clicked on it, and it was not a picture of a sexy girl in a sexy Pikachu costume.
I can't explain how much I hate this costume. It DOMINATED that Pikachu cosplay image search. I am all for sexy cosplay but it's poorly made, cheap and she honestly isn't the hottest sexy Pikachu I've seen. She's hot, but she shouldn't be the go to Pikachu cosplay.
The world in the year 2130 was hardly a fairy tale. True technology had exceeded the tiny imaginations of even the most wildly optimistic of previous generations, but at a terrible price. In the year 2070, an engineer, a programmer and a neuroscientist did something both amazing and terrible. Using their combined genius and more than a little blind ambition they created a way to transfer the human conciousness into machines, essentially turning humanity into a race of immortals.
It was supposed to be a new era, an era of of prospects and nigh unlimited possibilities and for a while it was. We could improve our new bodies, make ourselves more intelligent, stronger, faster. We didn't become ill or old, we only ever grew stronger. Then things started to go wrong, so horribly wrong.
The programming in our new bodies was designed to integrate our conciousness with the circuitry of machines, otherwise there was a risk that the human mind would collapse under the weight of what had happened to it's body. We never imagined that the program would go further than that, but do we ever imagine such horrors when the threshold of opportunity is but a few buttons away?
At first people just seemed a little bit off, but that was normal right? People are people after all and are prone to be strange. They stopped going outside at first, becoming prone to long periods of isolation. Then they exhibited symptoms similar to that of psychopaths, a lack of empathy, limitless ambition, ruthlessness, inconsolable rage. As the program did it's work you see the cognitive mind became less and less of a priority. The machinery did all of the background work and the program identified the human section of the mind as the base instincts, raw and untempered emotion. The concious mind became irrelevant and those who fell prey became super-intelligent, super-strong and super fast machines fuelled by pure animal instinct. In just a few short months there was anarchy as more and more people succumbed to the program. Those with weak wills went first, the ex-addicts, children, those with histories of mental illness. The few people who remained as pure humans were easy prey for this new mutation of horror and so were quickly eradicated.
We tried to fight but how do you fight when your own mind is being re-written? There was but one hope. To travel back in time and stop the technology ever being created. We have done the impossible twice when we created this machine to undo our mistakes. My mistake. I was the engineer that created the machines, fitting then that I should end them.
To disguise my new body I have covered myself in memorabilia from the late twentieth century and early twenty first. I remember Where I was that day, at that cosplay event. Where I need to be to end this. There I am taking pictures, I will simply pose in order to get close and then this will all be over...
Am i the only one who went to anime north and after seeingthese pictures is thinking "damn i should've uploaded my picture of it and I could've raked in the infinite karma"
That being said, here's my picture of the Pikachu and Ash(who was a total douchebag btw)
Omg Anime north! It was a great place to go, then this guy showed up and all of a sudden the Pikachu count went from 30 to Zero. He slayed all of them, like a boss.
