#biker punk Huntress

[kitkatopinions]

Nitpick November Day Five! Let's talk about the Happy Huntress uniforms.

So, I don't remember exactly where I heard it, but I'm pretty confident it's true; The Happy Huntresses introduced in V7 were meant to parallel but be contrasts to the Ace Ops also introduced in V7. I could make an entire post about the ways that I think that failed that are a little more important than their uniforms like Robyn being a politician and them stealing from government works projects rather than like them stealing from Jacques Schnee and how I would've done the Robin Hood allusion differently etcetera etcetera, but those aren't nitpicks.

But specifically with the uniforms, I'm gonna nitpick the hell out of that. Because one of the ways that the Happy Huntresses could've so easily been used to contrast the Ace Ops is their clothes. We as the audience are meant to see the Ace Ops as stiff, order followers who act within the confines of Atlas and Ironwood, and we're meant to view the Happy Huntresses instead as the cool, rebellious non-conforming good badge carrying law enforcement officers that only follow their own rules (which again is an entirely different problem that's much bigger than a nitpick.) But if we're going to see the Ace Ops as stiff and confined and the Happy Huntresses instead represent freedom and expression... Why are their outfits so matchy? The Happy Huntresses should dress however they want, wield cool creative weapons, express themselves through their clothes and emblems if they even have emblems! Even though the Ace Ops all keep to an Atlas color scheme, their outfits are otherwise just as personalized if not more personalized than the Happy Huntress outfits are. Apparently Ironwood is like "No, it doesn't matter if Marrow is wearing a long sleeved coat, Harriet, of course you should wear a tank-top shirt and white shorts with dark blue chaps if you want to," but the Happy Huntresses were like "If our jackets aren't almost the exact same except in different dulled down colors, we won't look like a team." I'll also point out that making the Ace Ops a group of five (something that goes against the norm of teams as we've seen in RWBY) and only making four important HH members (though there is one more member named Crimson that's offscreen according to the Wiki,) is also slightly weird to me. Like, shouldn't Robyn's team be the one not adhering to strict arbitrary unnecessary rules like how many people are usually put on a team, while the Ace Ops are the ones who are adhering to those guidelines? I read on the wiki once that the Ace Ops being comprised of five people was 'a clue' that Ironwood wasn't good because he wasn't adhering to the four-person team thing, and I'm just like...

It's a nitpick, but really, why do the Happy Huntresses have any sort of uniform? If I was trying to play the Ace Ops as stiff and controlled and the Happy Huntresses as contrasting that, I'd start by giving the Ace Ops all one unchanging across the board uniform and making the Happy Huntresses an explosion of different styles and cool color schemes with no set aesthetic or uniforms at all. It seems obvious! Why couldn't one of them be more subdued and grayscale and one of them is like colorful punk and one of them is more cutesy vintage and one of them dresses in like... Idk, seventies inspired glam, or vampire looking goth stuff, or grunge or biker or anything interesting and not conforming?

This might just be me personally too, but I have an easier time getting attached to and caring about side characters when they look like they have a lot of personality. Like don't get me wrong, May specifically has a great personality that shines through even without some kind of iconic look. But compare this

To this

There's a reason people loved Neo from her very first appearance before we even knew anything about her, and it's because we could get so much character from just this shot

Not to mention

So much character can be gleaned by style (and attitude.) I do not understand the choice to make characters that are meant to be significant and thematic like the Happy Huntresses and then putting them all in dulled down samey uniforms with all the same weapon.

First Cosplay Experience

SO! It’s taken me too long to do this, but.... here we go.

On November 9th of this year, it was announced that Gail Simone (one of my favorite writers, mainly because of the awesome goodness and miraculous character save she did for Huntress after years of other writers slowly driving the character into the ground would be at the New Jersey Comic Expo.

I.

Freaked.

Out.

Such little warning and it just so happened that an online friend called Cali lives about 5 minutes away from the expo center. Cali was more than happy to let me crash on her couch and we’d go to the expo together. I was thrilled.

And then I despaired.

My cosplay was nowhere NEAR ready for this. Ever since a drastic turn of events in my life in late April of this year (greatly inspired by Huntress herself), I have been on something of a personal crusade -- to make the most accurate, badass, awesome and amazing Huntress cosplay the world has ever seen. I declared to everyone that I would construct this most true-to-character portrayal, I would live off myfitnesspal and I would appear before Simone and get on bent knee asking her to campaign for the return of the REAL Huntress. The Helena Rosa Bertinelli that had such a dramatic change on my life, who was unlike any other character -- fierce, independent, fearless, funny, and passionate as hell. I wanted to show that people out there still remember Helena, that she is still deeply loved, and that she is, above all, sorely missed. I wanted everyone to remember who Huntress is, what she is, and stand defiant in all attempts to consign her to forgotten archives.

I vowed I would do this.

And here I faced my last opportunity to see Gail in person and I thought for sure that I would not be ready. My representation would fall flat. The impact of the meaning, of appearing as the deadly vigilante (not a sexy portrayal, though she is that too -- but I wanted badass armor) as true-to-life as could be, would be too little for what I hoped to achieve.

But then I had an idea. And, hilariously, this idea came from a kind of little-known comic called Gotham City Garage. Basically, this is what would happen if Mad Max tangled with the DC universe, giving characters fast motorcycles and lots of leather and tattoos and absurd amounts of studs. A little mental checklist informed me that I had most of the materials on hand already. So I set to work.

A leather jacket and purple t-shirt (from the Salvation Army), a fake tattoo, and a lot of help from my friend and her husband to make the armored bracers, I had a costume. We walked in like badasses. We weren’t there for 3 minutes before a vendor asked for our picture.

DREAM TEAM RIGHT THERE, BABY! #RedHunt 

I. Felt. AWESOME. I felt like I was Huntress! And let me tell you -- that feeling was addicting. I never wanted it to end. According to my friend, I walked in there like I wanted to kick teeth in and that’s pretty much how I felt. Like a badass.

And of course, I got to see Gail.

(That’s the smirk that says, “Please fight back. I love it when they fight back.”)

So, full disclosure here.

I SWORE to myself that I would not cry and gush when I met her. I wouldn’t. I. Would. Not. I would be dignified and composed and erudite. I would say everything I wanted with precision and eloquence and I would convey just how deeply her contribution to Huntress had influenced me and saved me from an abusive relationship. I saw it play out in my mind a thousand times. It would be profound and serious and meaningful.

I breathed deeply. I mentally chanted, “You are Huntress, she doesn’t cry. You’re a badass. Huntress doesn’t let anyone see her weaknesses. You are Huntress. Now make her proud, dammit.”

I stepped up to the booth.

My friend (who had gotten a gift for me signed by Gail at New York Comic Con weeks prior) introduced me.

Gail looked at me. She had this expectant look, a friendly smile.

I took a breath and....

I started freaking crying.

Chernobyl melted down more gracefully than I did.

I got ticked off at myself, actually, because I SWORE this wouldn’t happen. Hoping to distract myself from the critical meltdown that was going full steam ahead, I tried to squeak out my speech I had written prior.

I think I got out a fifth of it.

My mind has kinda blacked out the memory of what happened. Out of self defense, I think. I wasn’t mortified. I was soooo past mortified. But I had to go through, because know what? I’m passionate about this. Huntress means a HELL of a lot to me and I had to say something to make sure someone knew, that they truly Heard The Voice Of The Fans. Not just for me but for others I know love Helena Bertinelli, such as @purpleladyofthenight and @thelastofthebertinellis and so many many others out there that have yet to be found or heard. I (stupidly) had decided I’d be at least one voice for Helena’s fans, someone who is crazy and idiotic enough to walk up to a famous writer and say, ‘Hey, we really love this character, mind undoing this injustice and bringing her back?’ No one asked me to do it, not everyone is gonna want the same writer, but I just had this idea (and I still do) that at least the message is heard. That it might get passed on up the chain. Someone noticed. And maybe that’ll give us some hope to getting her back.

Except I was nowhere NEAR as composed and erudite as I wanted to be. Not. One. Bit. I babbled. I gushed. I gushed like the damn Niagara falls during snowmelt times. (I hail from the land of Michigan, I know these things.) I was actually afraid the Pros-Aide stick the mask onto my face might get compromised from my stupidly crying idiot tears. And I think my friends ushered me away before I could gush TOO much. Damage control and all that.

Like I said, I really cannot recall a lot of it. I think back and get choked up. It’s all a blur muddled with a faint tinge of horror and embarrassment. I don’t pry too deeply. I think my brain is protecting me and I’ve read enough comics to now that can be an immense blessing. I am Genre Savvy. Cannot fool this chick!

But yes, horror and gushing aside, it was wonderful! ^_^ She’s a lovely person and DEEPLY forgiving of my determined attempts to wear my pants on my head or something. I did get her to sign my Wonder Woman journal and it’s something of a mission of mine to gather the signatures of the artists and writers I simply adore. (Nicola Scott and Matthew Clark’s names are proudly inscribed on the inside cover.) 

It’s really a whole new experience when you cosplay at a con. I’d been to a few of them, but never in character. There’s this... I dunno. VIP feel, I suppose, but that could’ve just been me. I loved getting stopped for pictures! I think we were stopped about 6 or 7 times for pictures and I loved each and every one! KNOW THIS: I want everyone reading this to swear, “I, who am about to go to a con, will not hesitate to ask a cosplayer for pictures, because that is why they do it and it makes them feel awesome.”

Good. Now I expect ya’ll to abide by that.

Amusingly, I heard someone say, ‘Oh look, it’s Batgirl!’ I turned around to see a dad pointing at me and talking to his young daughter. I cheerfully said, ‘Nah, not anymore. I had the gig for a while but I don’t need the Bat or the symbol to do what I want. What has to be done.”

The guy just looked at me and said after a minute, “Oh! Huntress!”

I felt AWESOME.

Perhaps the most memorable moment is when a teeny widdle Wonder Woman (probably 6 years old??) wanted to take a picture with me and Red Hood, but was too shy to ask. Her father did on her behalf and I was thrilled. She had a little stuffed monkey toy and I, channeling Huntress ENTIRELY, asked the monkey’s name. He didn’t have one yet because she just won him at a booth, so I suggested Minksy. (I swear to god I do not know where that name came from.) This was acceptable. Then we posed for a picture.

So somewhere out there is a stuffed monkey doll owned by a Wonder Woman that was named Minksy by Huntress. Real life stories here alone, peeps.

You can check out another group picture of myself, my friend Cali and her hubby on Dinner And A Podcast over here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbr7giAFN1O/ The trivia questions weren’t really trivia. They just asked the real name of the character you were cosplaying as and I, being a DEVOTED Helena Bertinelli fan, said Helena Rosa Bertinelli.

The guy was stumped as to what to ask next. He scrambled for a JLU question which I answered no problem and got a free comic. Woot!

I’ve been unable to find any further images of the expo, sadly, but it was amazing. I never wanted to stop being Huntress and I’m sure as hell gonna do it again! 

~COSPLAY STUFF BELOW~

Just a bit of info on the Bikerpunk!Huntress cosplay I whipped together with cheap deals and a lot of help from my friends!

1. The boots are Volatile Combat Boots for women, available on Amazon for about $58. I do recommend you get a half size up. I usually wear 8 to 8.5 and I got a size 9 to accommodate for my insoles. They fit beautifully! I had to get these puppies because any good Huntress pic shows she don’t screw around with no damn high heels. She wears big, bad, stompy combat boots to deal damage. These boots fit the bill and they’ll be great for many other cosplays as well.

2. The leather belt is from Cabela’s. I painted it purple using Angelus Leather Paint. It’s very dark here because the belt itself was dark brown originally, but it really shows beautifully in the light.

3. The belt pouches are lifted directly from the tutorial from furiescosplay for the Batgirl belt. These are just phone cases I got from the Dollar store, painted purple, and slipped on. Done.

4. The GORGEOUS Huntress mask I’m wearing is from TigerStoneFX. I used Pros-Aide adhesive to keep it snug. However, there’s some finagling with the strap that I have to do to make sure it fits really good and snug.

5. On my blog you can find a short video tutorial on Batgirl bracers. These are essentially how we made mine as well.

6. The fake tattoo. WHY the fake tattoo? Glad you asked! It’s because Huntress has a cross motif (we all know this) that’s formed by the white stripes down the front of her uniform and across the hem of her cape that crosses her chest. However, considering how tattered my shirt was for that BikerPunk (tm) feel, there wasn’t really... space to get that cross shape. So I had a lightbulb moment. Let’s make a fake tattoo!

I put my graphic designer skills to use, found an image I liked, outlined it to a vector image, blew it up to fit on an 11 x 17 paper, and then spent about two hours cutting out every little detail with my Xacto knife. Then, with some help of my friend and rather inconveniently placed papercut, put the stencil on me and started coloring in with a black Sharpie. Rub on some baby powder, LIGHTLY spritz with hair spray, you got a fake tattoo. It fit the biker-y feel (and Gotham City Garage has a very similar thing with Nightwing so I didn’t feel bad about it at all) and got the cross image in, too! 

7. Make up I’m still working on. But for any aspiring Huntress cosplayers out there, I recommend the lipstick color Amethyst by Nyx Cosmetics. Make sure you get the lipstick AND the lipliner! It lasted all day and I even had trouble getting it to come off in the shower! The other color I had toyed with getting, Oh, Just Put It On is actually an extremely dark shade of purple, nearly black. So unless that’s the palette you want, use Amethyst. It’s also a helluva lot more affordable than Kaoir (the only other lipstick seller I could find with such a vibrant purple) and I can attest to its staying power.

8. The gloves were also Salvation Army finds. I cut off the fingers (and had to use a teensy dab of E-6000 at all the seams to seal them off because the stitching was unravelling -- oops!) and also painted them with the Angelus Leather Dye. That stuff goes a long way and gets great color in just a few coats.

So that’s it. My First Big Adventure in Cosplay! It only gets bigger and better from here, right? Wish me luck and remember -- don’t get stuck on the details. Just GO for it!

*Checks her scope and grappler. The Clan emblem painted over right of her helmet is freshly retouched.*

Clan is important to the Mando’ade, to the Mandalorians. For Boba Fett to build a sense of comaraderie with his underlings is understandable. And this brings us to another flash back episode, and one I’ve waited for a bit, when Fennec finally teamed up with Boba!

Over the years Boba has teamed up with Aura Sing, Asajj Ventress, and I’m going to adore this episode.

SPOILERS AHEAD FOLX!

The Book of Boba, Episode 4 “The Gathering Storm;”

Alright, we pick up just after the revelation of the invasion of the pykes. Boba is recovering one again in his Bacta tank and we delve deep into his past again. This time we see him morn the loss of his adoptive tribe of Sand People, and track the swoop game of weequay to Jabba’s old palace. Fortuitously, as he mulls over the attack he encounters and saves the life of Fennec Shand. Another scene with the local mod kids (love the fact we have fucking greaser mod swoop bikers on Tatooine) and the guy who ends up using cyborg parts to save our leading lady.

Ming-Na is just amazing as Fennec shand be it angry soccer mom bounty huntress in keeping Omega Safe in the dad batch OR being the right hand of Boba. A lot of this particular episode uses particle effects. One thing I am liking about this series is that it seems they’re making a try to avoid oerusing some CGI.

Now the acutal combat scenes are about as solid as we acn expect from this show (aka better than a few others out there) and it all feels good. The right level of grit and beige is dusted over everything in the scenes from the fight to take backthe Slave One to Boba actuall escaping.

A hurriedly and outright rushed sense of achievement exists between Fennec and Boba. Shand just wants to see where the hell this old bastadr is going and Fett just wants sa methodical murder montage, a bit of both worlds when it comes to the bounty taking life. We get a fly by of him killing the idiots who ravage his Tusken friends and a weird scene with the sarlacc. Which reminds us that fucking sand krakens are no damn joke. Bombing it and having it almost eat the ship was a nice touch.

And we get another fireside discussion between Shand and Fett. The idea of founding a House gives us more ideas of wat he wants from his synidcate.We flash back to boba removing hiself from the bact tank. HIs armor sits carefully arrange like something out of the feuding families of the Middle Ages. A nice touch and we cut back to Krrsanstan sitting in a catina driking his woes away. This is the wookie that looks like Chewbacca’s pissed off big brother.

Like seriously, if you want to know what Chewie would do rocking a goth punk look from mad max, Black Krrsanstan is your fucking Wookie! I know I shouldn’t root for a dude ripping off a guys arm, but Trandoshans did enslave his species so we’ll ignore that cruelty.and skip to our godfather proving scene. The Aqualish, Trandoshan and the Klatooine all agree to remain neutral. Hopefullly, only a few heads will roll in the coming battle.

Then we hear the infamous sound used for Mando and yes we are totes getting a blood cameo for this series!

Hottakes

Okay, the mod scene on Tatooine is pretty interesting and I wan tto see ore of his retro greaser types.

Fennec Shand is Momma of this fucking House!

Growing threat of the Pykes is a nice lead up to a Mando cameo!

Little bits and pieces on how the underworld works is pretty awesome.

Black Krrsantan’s rampage was pretty murderous and adorable.

REVIEW: RWBY – Vol. 5, Ch. 1: “WELCOME TO HAVEN”

Yeah, in a roundabout kind of way. Not punking or anything like that, but you know. I see you, RoosterTeeth. I see what you’re doing.

Welcome to my review of the 1st Chapter of Volume 5, entitled “Welcome to Haven”.

By the way, I’m introducing grades in my reviews for this season. So you can understand the scale, I’m doing A, B, C, & D, including plus and minus grades (A+ being the best, D– being the worst).

This week gave us: the local roflcopter, a dickish pilot, “just need to talk”, and bouncing out the building.

If spoilers ain’t your thing, scroll away!

In “Welcome to Haven”, this show appears to be shifting away somewhat from last season’s contemplative tone. Not all of it – there are some great moments with Yang, Blake and Weiss which I will get to – but in its place, is a new feeling which runs throughout this episode, a feeling of rejuvenation; of determination, and beneath it all, simmering under the skin, is anger.

If you haven’t seen RWBY since Volume 4 ended earlier this year, you can be forgiven for feeling a bit confused by the state of play as far as the actual situation in Mistral goes. Basically, it’s going the same way as it was in Vale. The Grimm have already been around, but beaten back at the cost of a lot of local Hunters. There is fighting going on all around the kingdom, and it’s not exactly going well. There’s also a struggle in diplomatic relations with Atlas – not surprising, and the only local dude in this episode who understands the situation is in the pocket of dastardly forces.

Oh, and there are some relics which can only be accessed by the four Maidens – the whereabouts of Mistral’s relic is dodgy, to say the best, and Mistral’s Spring Maiden ran off forever ago to join up with one Raven Branwen, aka Number One Mom.

Don’t worry though. Because Qrow’s old buddy, Professor Lionheart, is a man under pressure, Ruby and co. are convinced that they can’t actually go run a smash and grab on Yang’s mom’s crew of bandits, so they’re going to be chilling around town for a bit. Meeting Oscar and the Ozpin within is a good way to set up a story which preoccupies them for the time being, while Yang follows the Raven path.

Yeah – I’ve got a problem here.

At the end of last season, I thought I knew where Yang was going. I thought for sure that she was going to Mistral to link up with Ruby. In fact, I remember her at a signpost, with one sign that said “Bandits” and another that said “Mistral”, and her riding off in the direction of Mistral. Why is it that she is now seemingly back on Raven’s trail, asking around about Raven, when she made the decision last season that she wasn’t going to go looking for her?

It’s not like I’m nitpicking, I just need some clarity with this direction, and I hope it’s addressed soon, because right now the continuity in this storyline doesn’t seem to have made the jump to the new season. Look at it like this: It’s okay to change the direction of her story, but tell us why. Establish her motivations and why she’s changing her mind, if that is what’s happened. As awesome as Yang has been in her evolution as a character, it would be a crime to mishandle her first steps back into the world by stuffing up the details.

It’s a strange anomaly, when the rest of the episode is just so tight in that respect. Both the RJNR and Blake stories are looking for renewed pushes, but they make sense.

That said, Yang’s scenes are cool. She punches some lowllife so hard that he bounces off the ceiling and floor and out of a building, and it’s not something played for laughs – it’s just cool. Her biker look is great, fresh with aviators, and she’s still carrying some of her uncertainty from last season. Her hand is trembling after punching the dude, and she smiles at the rush it symbolises. That is good stuff.

Speaking of Blake, my favourite character and yours (I won’t hear otherwise) is still mired in the tension of Menagerie. I’ve come to the conclusion here that while the wider storyline is intriguing, what is really hooking me along is Blake’s progression throughout it. Her interactions with her family, with Sun, and with Ilia, are fascinating as a study of the battle raging inside her. She’s determined to see this out, but she’s worried that it might be too late, or too much.

It’s like some of the clouds of Volume 4 have parted, and now these characters are energised again, for the most part. They have clear goals as a result of last season’s exploits, and that determination that made them such promising young Huntresses is coming back to the surface. It’s a bit difficult to see right now how things play out – premieres are always tricky with how much they can give away or establish, but it’s interesting.

This was a competent start to the new season. It achieved what it needed to, and left a number of hooks for next week, without being particularly moving or shaking. What gives this premiere its verve is the character work it does. All the way through, I was watching these characters – the way they behaved and spoke and came across as genuine. 

This is the benefit of having Volume 4 in the bank. Now, we know so much about these characters, that seeing them work with and build on those foundations is so great.

Additional observations:

- Mentions of Weiss are best kept here, since her appearance was but a cameo. She had some strong character moments, speaking with the pilot that smuggled her out of Atlas. Him rebuffing her immediate wish to go and investigate a mayday was an interesting point to end on, and it makes me wonder how this interaction and others like it might influence her thinking this season.

- Was I the only one who took one look at Lionheart and immediately thought “Don’t trust this dude”? His entire scene with RNJR and Qrow had such a Cloud City from Empire Strikes Back feel.

- That gay couple with the heart-shaped plant at the beginning of the episode. Very lovely.

- Is Ruby a DC or Marvel gal?

- "Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang are each entangled in journeys of their own, but they all share one destination: Haven Academy”. Hmm. I mean, kinda. No trolling going on here, in the actual RoosterTeeth-endorsed promo of Volume 5.

- This show has never looked better. The art is gorgeous (It’s interesting how far a few more shadows go in making an image more vivid) and the animation is so clean.

- The opening is decent. Packed with more content than any other. The song is expectedly good, but nothing is topping “Let’s Just Live” from Volume 4′s opening. As a whole though, this one could grow on me.

- Speaking of music, the scoring throughout this episode is so rich. It’s certainly more prominent in the audio track, but not to the detriment of the scenes. The background music in Yang’s scene was particularly fantastic.

GRADE: B

Final thoughts: With renewed focus, RWBY wastes little time in reestablishing the positions on the chessboard. The characters are determined again, and the joy of watching them in action, coupled with a raising of dramatic tension, is enough to make up for some plot inconsistencies and somewhat dry exposition. – Kallie
