Time to reveal some of my adventures and misadventures throughout this round!
My first attempt was at Inuyasha, but at the end of the day I just did not like the costume.

I tried many different tops and bottoms, but nothing just really clicked for me. I think it was mostly the top that bothered me. I realized that anything anime or fantasy based that I wanted to do wasn't really going to satisfy me since I knew I would not be happy with the costumes.
My sister told me I should cosplay as Lucille Ball for a con, and then it struck me. I needed to cosplay something a bit sillier, and thus Tina was born!
And if there is one thing Tina likes, it's butts, so I needed to objectify Eorzea, and turn butts into props!
I had some gracious help from my Free Company, who dealt with my abuse for the sake of art. I got some awesome shots, but unfortunately they were at night (which seemed a tad out of place), and the angle I needed to use kind of left the right side a little boring

After a bit of trying to touch his butt, another FC mate showed up to help me with another idea. This time, I wanted to try a more confident Tina

But it just ended up being kind of silly to look at. A thumbs up while trying to have her normal "Uhhhhhhh" face going on? Clashed a little too much, and just didn't make a whole lot of sense.
I got tired of abusing Free Company butts, so I moved on to NPCs! I traveled around a little, and found that NPC butts are generally at TERRIBLE heights, or way too clothed. Luckily, the Ala Mighans are tall, and generally wear tighter clothing. But that wasn't quite enough. I also had to use the Mini-Sun to aim my emotes!
Poke!

Slap!

Whoa there Tina, too forceful!
What? Who are you!? Stop filming!

After about 20 more attempts of slapping and poking, I had some interesting shots, but at the same time the setting just didn't sit with me right. The Belchers live on the sea dernit! back to my original spot!
Once again I pestered some FC mates, and got some new test subjects, and thus the entry was born! These two were particularly excited to help, and judged me FAR less than my first two FC mates xD
Finally, a chatlog screenshot that really examplifies the ridiculousness of it all
