But anyway, celebrating Carnival is pretty common in Greece even if it isn't as popular as it used to be.
I thought they only celebrated that in like Brazil? Nobody in our country has even HEARD of Carnival or Marte Gra or whatever, but they do love to talk about TONS of unimaginative holidays such as lent. LENT IS STUPID. You don't get to dress up in a costume. Its just a holiday about giving up something you love for over a month, which I would never be able to do, since MLP is the meaning of life (no just kidding). I would LOVE a holiday in our country where we could all cosplay stuff without ridicule. Some costumes I would love would be an Alduin costume, a Dalek costume, or any Cylon costume. That would be amazing.

These costumes you mentoned seem difficult and expensive to make (judging from google images). I already have some other costumes in mind for next year, and if I persuade my friends to dress up something relevant it willl be pretty good.
And about this lent, I have never heard of it but I don't think I'd enjoy it. Coming to think of it, I wouldn't give up doing something I love, even for a month or less.

Lent is a big catholic holiday. You're supposed to give up something you like until Easter.

So like fasting but not fasting?

Basically yeah.
I'm a subscriber to Nintendo Power. I've seen tons of cosplayers devoted to video games. Heck, I've seen (this is for you, G88) a girl wearing her self-made Varia and Gravity suits from Metroid. I kid you not, she did one hell of a job!
In similar news, a different gal created the Justin Bailey suit from the first Metroid and the Zero Suit from Smash Bros. Brawl. That was an incredible job as well!
If that's not devotion, I don't know what is!

GIVE ME THAT COSTUME. I don't care if I'm a guy. GIVE IT TO ME.

They aren't well regarded around these parts at all though. We have a very limited view on what's acceptable and what's not on some things, yet on others we have these "oh anything like that is just fucking SWELL" policies on other things (such as guns, because everyone LOVES shooting people). People who dress up in costumes are branded as furries, and people believe that furries fap to animals, just as they believe bronies fap to ponies (bestiality mind you).

Dude, you mentioned like 3 or 4 issues in less than 5 lines. I know that probably people don't consider people who dress up cool, they mostly think that they are no-lifers that are dieng to dress up like their favorite game/movie characters (maybe that's not far from reality?). But, truth to be told, there are some ones that are just rediculous in their costumes. Og course dressing up outside of the Carnival period isn't acceptable in Greece too. And now that stuff about furries, this is really some pretty unusual stuff that happens in the USA, among many others. And no, I don't mean being a furry on the internet, which isn't anything important anyway, I mean what some furries do irl there. Ok, I am a pretty open-minded person but I would find a bit weird having someone like em hanging in my neighborhood in one of these freaking fursuits. These things look creepy, rediculous, ugly and stupid. And now, I don't care to what furries or bronies fap to, that's something that should only bother themselves. What I dislike is when they bother myself.
Sometimes I wonder, does anyone even read all this text I post
Lolz, well they all kinda link together, so it seemed reasonable to mention them. I have never in my life seen anyone walking around in a fursuit, though I know a girl in my useless class (study hall) who wears a fox tail. But yeah, the USA is full of fettishes, because we have to try and make ourselves seem different from other countries. We also do that by acting all high and mighty and being racist.
Wait a minute, what does this have to do with cosplaying? Sorry, I got carried away there. But yeah, sadly, we don't have Carnival. We DO have a bunch of commercialized holidays. Take Easter for example. In our country, we tell kids that Easter is all about having some giant white bunny come and shit eggs out of it's ass on your lawn, and those eggs have candy inside. Thus, corporations profit off all those parents who try and make their child's Easter really special by buying an overabundance of candy, while completely ignoring the actual meaning of the holiday. I'm not sure if you have the Easter Bunny in your country too, but we have it here alright.
Speaking of corrupt holidays, do Greeks obsess over Santa Claus during Christmas like Americans?

No Easter Bunny here. Instead, many families in the first Sunday of Easter do gather all together and have a big meal outside in the country, most of the times roasting a goat or sheep or generally roasting meat and then having a wonderful (I enjoy good food) lunch.
As for Christmas, is is also pretty commercialized in Greece but not as much as in the USA.
not to metion the 29 in. dagger i got for the dang bunny. i had to ask my uncle how the heck it wasn't bloody. at least santa's reasonable except sliding down a 2 in. (5 cm) pipe of a chimney which makes him sound like a stripper.

Huh? Families actually spending time together? That is a rarity in america. The most people will do is go to church for about 3 hours and sing a bunch of songs and talk all about how the bread and wine will actually turn into Jesus Christ overnight (JESUS WAS MADE OF CRACKERS?). And roasting sheep? We never eat sheep. We usually eat ultra refined cows which have ingested all sorts of poisons designed to make sure they taste good and look appealing.

Jesus was made of crackers, lol.....
As for the roasted sheep, you should try some, its meat is veery soft and tasty unlike the one from cows that it's like chewing a shoe. Truth is that in Greece we still have many traditonal customs, even if they are slowly dissapearing, especially in big cities. Just like Carnival.
