We’re kicking off 2016 with a new edition of the monthly 6 on 6 challenge! I was happy with January’s color theme; turned out I had lots of ideas and I have to say that I am quite satisfied with my photos. If you want to know more about the challenge, you can find a description in my first 6 on 6 post here. Now, without further ado, I give you my geeky white selection!
Final Fantasy Moogles
Me and my boyfriend loved playing FFXIV. An awesome MMORPG where one of the cutest creatures are Moogles (kupo!). There is a rumor that seeing a Moogle brings luck. Well, we have two of them sitting in our living room ^^
Kunieda Aoi cosplay
All-white cosplay from one of my favorite shônen: Kunieda Aoi in Beelzebub! Even though the cosplay wasn’t the most difficult to pull off, I was very proud of it in front of Beelzebub’s author Tamura Ryûhei. He actually said to me that he was « honored to meet miss Kunieda in person » and his editor took a bunch of pictures of me to show back in the offices in Japan. I was thrilled to meet Tamura-sensei and the fact that I could have a real and comprehensive conversation fully in Japanese with this incredibly talented mangaka was definitely one of my greatest geeky experiences ever.
Nerdy mugs
I am a huge fan of tea and coffee. And what better is there than enjoying a delicious beverage in a geeky mug? Especially when you have a lightsabre spoon to give it the right finishing touch…
Snuggle panda blanket
An awful impulse purchase that turned out to be one of the best nerdy things I own now. Soft like Bulle’s fur, big enough to roll myself in it while watching a movie or reading a book… it even has a sewn-in pillow which makes it even more comfortable. Besides, there’s a girly panda involved so it’s just cute.
Kawaii gift
Last Monday I received a surprise letter from Anne Lee at Chic Pixel. That beautiful card with a heart-warming message and the super cute stationery made my day. And my new datebook is now filled with kawaii stickers and cards, thank you so much Anne Lee for this lovely gesture!
SNOW!
To me, a top of mind answer to the white color is snow. Tons of it. The picture above is in my opinion one of the best I have ever took. No filter, no correction, no nothing. Beautiful nature in the French Alps and a random tiny little house. I think that I love this picture so much because it shows perfectly the mood of that place; total peace and quiet, breath-taking landscapes, and the memory of walking there hand in hand with the person that I love. Pure hapiness. But hey, if you don’t think it’s geeky enough to be featured at the 6 on 6 challenge, I prepared a counter proposal with this one below:
I hope that you enjoyed my interpretation of the white challenge. What about your geeky white stuff? Tell me all about it! Happy blogging 🙂

Your Kunieda cosplay looks way cool! And what an awesomely geeky experience to get to talk with the author! I’ve been trying to learn Japanese but man, it’s hard:/ That photo of the French Alps is absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you! ^^ The hardest part was to do the red calligraphy on the back of the coat right, but this is one of the cheapest and the most comfortable cosplays I have ever done 🙂 Meeting Tamura-sensei was really huge for me; he was giving a conference at Paris’ Japan Expo convention in 2014 and afterwards there was a shikishi signing. There were no places left in the waiting line and finally the only way I got in is that the author himself saw me before starting the signing session and told the staff guy to put me on the list as he was so thrilled to see someone cosplaying that character. And of course I got a beautiful shikishi as well! ^^
As for the Japanese… tell me about it, it’s really hard! I mean not specifically grammar, but all that kanji business always makes my head spin @.@ I’ve always been better at speaking and not reading it, but unfortunately since my university diploma I’ve never had the chance to practice so my guess is that about half of my vocabulary (and like 90% of kanji) are gone from my head 😦

Love the cosplay and the mugs! The mugs are so cute and the muggles!

Or Moggles rather! Mixing up fandoms here!

Haha thank you Dina! ^^
You know, geek-technically speaking, a muggle would never see a Moogle as he doesn’t believe that they exist. So even if we’re mixing fandoms, there’s a logical link 😉

Thanks Natalie 🙂 I got it at Claire’s and it had a reasonable price, even though that day I was supposed to be Christmas gift shopping and not something-cute-by-the-register shopping 😛 But I am really glad I bought it, it’s perfect for chilly days at home ^^

You look beautiful in that cosplay! And the moogles are so cute ^^ From my part, I’d say Miss Monocrome (the series is hawful but I like the character), and BB-8!

Aww thank you ❤ I haven't heard of Miss Monochrome before but by the looks of it it's something that I should check out as soon as possible, looks really kawaii!
