Hello Lovely little Followers !

As you have surely noticed, we have stopped being as active as before on these blogs, and it’s time to tell you why.

We are, for the moment, putting all our ask blogs on hold. We’re going to stop them. They’re not going to be taken down, so you’ll still be able to see old gif sets. But we need a break from this

Now here for the long explanation as for why we’re stopping (be prepared, it’s going to be long)

We’re having a literal overdose on our PJO cosplay, and it’s reached a point where we’ve stopped enjoying doing it.

If you’ve been following our blogs from the start, you’ll have noticed at the beginning we posted an average of like 10 gif sets a week…. which was a lot of work. We also did a lot of videos. We’ve been limiting our postings the last few months but lately it has been impossible for us to keep running these blogs, and we need a break. Beside real life being hard with schoolwork, cosplay project, Koe trying to get her diver’s licence, the blogs started asking too much work, too many hours going into making the gifs, posting everything… It started little by little to become an obligation.

And then, at one point, wearing those cosplays started becoming uncomfortable. Comments we did before see as « nice »  stopped being so nice, or even stopped being excusable. So here are a few things to get clear :

- We are people. Not objects. We’re not at your service. People telling us to do this or do that or act a certain way or do certain things because it pleases them is starting to become too much and get annoying. If we want to do something we’ll do it, please respect that. Wanting to see more cosplays of your favorite character is normal, we don’t blame anyone for this. But TELLING (not asking) cosplayers to do something to please you, or stop doing something because it doesn’t please you is not okay.

- We are COSPLAYERS. Koe is not Nico, Tora is not Percy. We have other costumes and we want to do other things.

-As we are COSPLAYERS, it is HIGLY DISRESPECTFUL to come and comment on another cosplay picture « when’s your next Percico video coming out ? ». This has been something of a last-last drop Now the story behind this one is we’ve been working for MONTHS on Christine Daae’s Dress and Phantom of the Opera’s costume. We’ve put HOURS of hard work in it, a fair share of money, because cosplaying is our passion. And the first comments were : « when’s your next Percico vid coming out ? ». Basically, that was 6 months of hard work reduced to nothing by someone who didn’t give a shit. (Which, usually, is fine, because it might not be your interest, but then STAY on the Percico related blog or videos please !!) Percy and Nico are closet cosplays. We’ve spent maybe 8 hours total on the costumes, for the sword painting, CHB beads, and Nico’s shirt all combined. Please, don’t compare that to something we’re making from scrap for cosplay contests.

So yeah. The result of this is basically Koe refusing to get into her Nico cosplay again because she’s not confortable with it anymore and she doesn’t like being associated with him (because truly people don’t realize that they are WORLDS apart from each other) and Tora being not motivated at all. So we need a break before this starts getting worse and before we start hating the characters…

--

Other than this, because we wanted to have it sorted out, we still want to thank ALL OF YOU for being so supportive. Thank you for having followed this blog, for asking all your questions, for all the nice comments here on tumblr but also on youtube. Sadly for now this is the end of this adventure, and we totally understand people are going to unfollow because they followed us specifically for Percico. But to the people who have been interested in our work other than PJO we’re really honored you follow us for the work we do =D (as a little precision, we still have 30 or so asks in our inbox. They’ll be answered without gifs, just writing so everyone gets the answer to the question they’ve asked.)

Thank you for reading guys ! Kisses to you all !! 

/intense staring/ - Nico and Percy

...... /smiles/ ...... /laughs/ ............. /leans in for a kiss/ ...... I lost this didn’t I ? - Percy

/nods and smiles/ - Nico

I lost.... I lost it ! - Percy 

We are both close friends with Jason. - Nico

Yeah ! Jason is a cool dude....... He’s my Bro, you know ?. - Percy

... /smiles and looks at Percy/ .... - Nico

No... not yet. And I am trying to convince him REALLY hard. /looks at Percy and leans in to kiss him in the neck/ - Nico

Oooh I don’t know if tis is really the good time and place !! - Percy

.... - Nico

... /leans forward to kiss Nico on the cheek then the neck/ - Percy

Uuuuuhm..... - Percy

Percy still can’t remember I hate getting up early. So last week he came storming into my cabin to ask me if we could go training.... at 8 a.m. - Nico

Yeah.... And for revenge, at midnight the day after, he sent an army of skeletons trampling on my roof all night to keep me from sleeping. But I still love you ! /leans in fo a kiss/ - Percy

/pushes him away/ sleep is sacred. - Nico

Well, I don’t plan on graduating college. That’s not going to happen. - Nico

I don’t really know... for college and all, I have been thinking about it but I don’t know. - Percy

As a trip I would really like to take him to Italy... - Nico

.... /looks at Nico and smiles/ I thought with my experience in Italy I would say I’ll pass.... but I’d actually really like to go there if it’s with you... - Percy

..... wHAT ? - Percy

.... Seriously ?! - Nico

No.... that’s not possible... He wouldn’t do that.... we are his friends... we’ve mourned his death, he would never have done that. He would have known he could count on us if he wanted to return to Calypso, we would have been there for him. He wouldn't abandon us like that, that’s not like him. Right Nico ? - Percy

/thinking/ .... I don’t know... But if this is true, I DO know he’s just a fucking asshole ! - Nico
