Ways In Which I Am Special

[arionhunter]

Upon arriving at a toku panel which I am neither running nor involved in at a con where I am just a random attendee, I am asked (among others) up to the front to serve as a sentai "expert" on the strength of my Zanki tattoo.

With only Youtube, I end up doing a complete, interesting hour-long panel for which there were compliments afterwards.

I may in fact be better at this than I thought.

(Also, $6 soon-to-be-framed Utena poster? Fuck yes.)

a) You have a Zanki tattoo?!?! That ROCKS.
b) WELL DONE YOU.

Yeah, I got it in 2008. It's the tattoo that appears on his arm after he performs the life preservation ceremony. One day, after I've been on T awhile I may get the Hibiki mitsudomoe between my shoulderblades.

Oh, lovely. That's an excellent tatt idea. (uh, both of them!)

[arionhunter]

Sadly, since I got it in the exact same spot as he did, everyone asks about it and assumes its Sanskrit, which can be...hard to explain.

[defeatedbyabridge]

Gah, I can imagine. :(

Your coolness factor has gone up heaps in my book, though, fwiw. (and it was already pretty high)

You and Kat have stuffs too, you realize (though sadly it is not Utena).
