¡Siempre he visto a los disfraces como una oportunidad para mostrar mi creatividad (y dedicación a diferentes cosas no muy conocidas) así que pensaba que sería divertido hacer un cómic especial de Noche de Brujas de Chapel probándose diferentes disfraces! La mayoría de ellos son directamente tomados de disfraces que he actualmente llevado en el pasado. Primero, el disfraz de Elizabeth Bennet (sí, se deletrea Bennet, no Bennett, ¡yo me quedé sorprendida también!) está inspirado en las muchísimas versiones diferentes de “Orgullo y Prejuicio” que he mirado en BBC a través de los años y también en la Feria de Dickens a la que voy en San Francisco cada año con mi mejor amiga. En la actualidad cuando voy a la Feria nunca me pongo un disfraz como el de Chapel. Siempre me disfrazo de un niño de la calle.

El disfraz de TARDIS es un disfraz que construí, pinté, y llevé hace dos años y todavía lo tengo. Para los no iniciados, el TARDIS (“Tiempo y Dimensión Relativa en el Espacio” es la nave espacial de mi programa favorito de televisión de siempre, “Doctor Who.” Incluso pinté “Bad Wolf” en un lado del disfraz, que es una referencia a la Temporada Nueve. Cuando llevé el disfraz, casi cada persona pensó que solo era un buzón. SÍ, UN BUZÓN. La única persona que pudo identificarlo correctamente era un hombre que llevaba una camiseta de Star Trek.

El último disfraz es uno tomado de anime Cardcaptor Sakura, que lo miré cuando tenía casi 8 años y ahora estoy mirando otra vez con mis padres. En realidad nunca me he disfrazado como Cardcaptor Sakura, pero sí me he disfrazado de varios otros personajes de anime en el pasado: Chiyo-chan de “Azumanga Daioh,” Sen de “Spirited Away,” y Kiki de “Kiki’s Delivery Service.” El personaje principal, Sakura Kinomoto, siempre lleva estos exagerados disfraces con demasiados volados durante sus mágicas aventuras capturando cartas. El disfraz de Chapel aquí es, NO TE ESTOY BROMEANDO, el menos ridículo de muchos de los disfraces de Sakura. La mamá de Chapel se tiene que disfrazar como la mejora amiga de Sakura, Tomoyo-chan, quien cose todos los disfraces que lleva Sakura. Me pregunto qué chantaje necesitaría hacer para ver a mi mamá disfrazada de esta manera…Y Rupert está vestido como Kero-chan (una forma más corta de decir Cerberos) el compinche de Sakura obsesionado con videojuegos y postres.

De todos modos, espero que disfrutastes del divertimento de los disfraces de Chapel. ¿De qué estás disfrazándote este año? ¡Dímelo en los comentarios! ¡Feliz Noche de Brujas!

Ahh... the Bad Wolf returns... mwahahaha

Is it just me, or is the text in the TARDIS panel messed up?

Great idea though.Have to say I'ce seen a few girls (no boys) dress up as the Tardis in the last 12 months - some with headpiece mimicing the light.

I love those! Chapel always seems so real when I read your comics!

Love the Elizabeth Bennet costume. I have never dressed up as her, but I have been to the Dickens Fair a time or two. I wish I had such good costume ideas - usually I just settle with a generic gothy dress and just call it something slightly different from last year.

I wanted to be a either a TARDIS or a Dalek for Halloween one year. My mom and I made my costume together. No one, sadly, knew what I was, so eventually I stopped saying, "Dalek" and just went to "Alien Robot." Sigh. But that was about two or three years ago, I found much more fans here nowadays.

Wait, what? Is your mom really willing to Cos-play with you? if that is so, you have an awesome mom! even with her poor taste in music.
11/8/11 responder
As I said before, this is all fictional! I doubt my mom would ever cosplay with me (and if she did, as I said in the author's comments, I would need to blackmail her).
11/8/11 responder
Actually, I would cosplay Tomoyo-chan because I'd only need add a hairband & black wig, a lovely coat, and a videocamera.
Marie 11/9/11 responder
I guess that would work, Mama! (By the way, meet my mom, everybody! She rocks.)
11/9/11 responder
Sounds like you want a reason to go shopping. LOL
maldar 12/8/11 responder
well, women and girls like shopping.

TARDIS!!!!!!!!!! :O (+) Bow ties are cool.

That was the whole reason I clicked on the link, but I think I shall stay and check it out.

(Also, CLAMP and Elizabeth Bennet ftw.)
11/4/11 responder
Fezzes are cool! (In fact I own a vintage one and I bought it maybe 2 weeks before the Doctor wore one and that just makes mine more awesome.) Glad to see another CLAMP and Jane Austen fan reading my work, too!
Just wondering, but which link did you click to get here?
11/4/11 responder
Hmmm.... It was from another webcomic... Haha. I honestly can't remember which and my history doesn't help because I do remembering opening this link in another tab and then reading through other archives before coming upon this one...

(P.S. Internet high-five for the Fez!)
Emilie 11/4/11 responder
Oh, maybe it was Gunnerkrigg Court. That's one of my absolute favorites so we put an ad there with the Tardis. Webcomics are probably my #1 source of procrasination...it's so easy to get *lost in archives*
11/4/11 responder
That was probably it, yes. (looks back and attempts to avoid getting distracted again) Yup. That was it! You know, that was the first webcomic I ever read. A friend of mine showed it to me along with Sam and Fuzzy, Girl Genius, and Dominic Deegan. Now I have a whole folder of links to webcomics. (Yours was added immediately upon reading this comic)
Emilie 11/4/11 responder
Yay! My whole bookmark bar is webcomics, so it's great to know I've been added to someone else's.
11/4/11 responder
I used to do that... then I realized that I simply just had too many! The folder is much easier, especially with the addition of sub-folders named "To Read" and "Behind on Updates". Keeps me snazzy and organized.
Emilie 11/4/11 responder
Ooh, maybe I'll try that! Probably a better system than mine...Oh, and if you want to, you can email me: etc[at]chapelchronicles[dot]com.
11/4/11 responder
I found you through Gunnerkrigg Court as well, one of my favorites, and who can resist a Tardis?! Love the Bad Wolf reference, 10th and Rose are the best combo. You are incredibly talented and accomplished for being so young! I am officially a fan and bookmarking your comic! The fact that you are a Jane Austen, DW, and anime geek like me just makes you all the easier to love! Keep going!

My daughter dressed as the TARDIS this year. She was recognized, across the street in dim light, by a group of Wizard of Oz cosplayers. Easy costume, cool concept. Loved it.

ummmmm............. I know what you said about least ridiculous but that is SERIOUSLY frilly!!!! oh and sorry about people thinking it is a mailbox. it dosent look like a mailbox to me!!!
11/4/11 responder
I know, right? Google "Cardcaptor Sakura" and take a look at some of the other costumes -- they take frilliness to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL. And the whole mailbox thing is just pathetically hilarious at this point!
11/4/11 responder
okay I did that and.................CREEPY
11/4/11 responder
I knowwww. It's hilariously ridiculous.

I'm sorry people thought you were a mail box... but I think the tardis idea is awesome!
10/29/11 responder
That's high praise from River Song herself! I wanted to bring my Tardis costume with me to the Doctor Who convention I attended the same year, but it was too big to fly with!
10/29/11 responder
We are all full of spoilers aren't we sweeties? <3 the TARDIS, btw. I'm only in high school but I still recognize it. How could anyone not once they've seen it even once?! I even have it has my text tone!
11/4/11 responder
YOU TOO? What a weird coincidence! I have the Tardis noise as my text tone and the Dr.Who theme as my ringtone!
11/4/11 responder
Another high-five! :D However, my current ringtone switches off between the Green Lantern Corps oath and the theme song from xxxHolic. CLAMP once more!
Emilie 11/4/11 responder
Ooh the xxxHolic theme is SERIOUSLY amazing. I play that on repeat when I'm doing my homework. I wasn't too crazy about the xxxHolic or Tsubasa anime adaptations (didn't hold up to the manga) but I adore that song.
11/4/11 responder
Yeah, animes never seems to properly follow mangas, but it's still fun to watch! Though... it's insanely easy to run low on money when you get manga. At least places like Hulu—legally—have anime.
Emilie 11/4/11 responder
Azumanga Daioh is the anime I've seen that stays closest to the manga--it's almost word-for-word at times. And for manga hoarding you gotta go the eBay route. I got my collection of all 58 "One Piece" volumes in a set for maybe 2-3 bucks each (retail price is 10 each).
11/4/11 responder
 
Wow! The dresses here are really nicely drawn. I think you've stepped up your drawing a notch.
Barry 10/28/11 responder
Thanks so much, Barry! I like drawing dresses so this was a really fun one. I sometimes get tired of Chapel's plain black dress, so I thought I'd mix things up!
10/28/11 responder
 
Have you seen any old Who? If kids at Halloween don't recognise the TARDIS, their parents might! =D
10/28/11 responder
I haven't seen any old Who, but I'm planning on it! Sadly, no parents recognized it either -- in fact, THEY were the ones calling it a post office box!
10/28/11 responder
 
I loved that anime. =)
10/28/11 responder
Me too! I used to watch it all the time, along with Azumanga Daioh and all the Miyazaki movies. And Sakura holds up to the test of time, too -- I still like it a lot!
10/28/11 responder
i <3 chapel!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're SOOOO good at writing, emma...i bet u could win the newberry when you grow up--or at least get an honor or something.
11/13/11 responder
Oh wow, thank you!!!! I've always wanted to win the Newberry, but hey.
11/14/11 responder
me 2!!! i write stories 4 my family--my longest (probably short 2 u) is 27 pgs.
11/14/11 responder
That's not that short! And besides, whatever length fits the story is the best length. One time I set out to write another book-length story, but the story I had in mind ended up fitting better in around 30 pages.
11/14/11 responder
thanks, emma. you can make anybody feel really good. (even miss stupid!)
11/14/11 responder
You shouldn't call yourself miss stupid, I'm sure you're not! And I'm glad that made you feel better -- you should never feel badly for how long a story is!
11/14/11 responder
i call myself miss stupid because i FEEL like it. hehe
11/15/11 responder
Fineeeee.
11/15/11 responder
it's fine...i can add a smiley face after my name.
11/15/11 responder
Anime?! Anime?! heretic.
you too Emma. If it's manga first, you read the manga!
11/3/11 responder
I DID read the manga first, in fact I always do. But I referenced the anime here because while that's Sakura's most iconic costume, it's also an anime-only costume.
11/3/11 responder
I loved Cardcapter Sakura when I small but now I'm grownup I prefer Chobits.
Stikibunn 11/9/11 responder
Ch...Chobits?! Really? Okayyyyy, well, I actually have a strip about Chobits that's scheduled for two weeks from now. So keep an eye out!

IDEA #1: Elizabeth Bennet This would be FAB, but I should probably save it for the Regency Faire. IDEA #2: The TARDIS This is too obscure for the general trick-or-treating population. IDEA #3: Cardcaptor Sakura! Come on, Mom! Rupert and I are already ready! Get changed! One question. WHY THE HECK AM I COSPLAYING TOMOYO-CHAN?! Happy Halloween! – The Chapel Chronicles Family
