pleasE I NEED CONTEXT

I got really curious about this and started tracking down the photos:

Superman – A guy in New York arrested for “failing to provide a permit to perform in public”. (And punching a female cop) Out of context the photo’s pretty funny, but his story isn’t..I don’t know what happened to him after that.

ElsaA staged performance by an events company!

Ash KetchumArrested at NYCC for being drunk and disorderly, apparently

KakashiAnother staged one, it seems

StormtroopersStaged by the Philadelphia Police Department as a joke about spoiling The Force Awakens for people (ur, okay.)

Sasuke (?? help, I don’t know anime) – arrested for stealing at a convention, I think?

Ninja Turtle – (don’t ask me what one he is) – I got nothing, beyond “it happened in Russia and those guys are the OMON

Snow WhiteOne of several protesters arrested at the Disneyland Resort entrance in 2008 after Disney failed to meet union demands

Annnnnd ThanosAlso a staged one!

My tickets to the Birmingham Comic-Con are BOOKED! Hooray! Now I just have to plan my Star Lord cosplay.

I have a passable jacket, trousers and boots already. The t-shirt is…. actually not expensive! Hooray!

Walkmans are HOLY SHIT EXPENSIVE?!?! but luckily I already have an old Walkman? Unfortunately it’s bright red. But I could paint it blue! (I wonder if it would still work.) Orange headphones are actually pretty easy to find and also quite cheap. (Would be handy to have a spare pair of headphones too.)

Turns out Star-Lord guns exist in plastic toy form and I guess I could paint one black? Unfortunately they’re £15 which… feels like too much? Oh well. We’ll see.

I have a plastic Groot to bring with me and my nails will be painted like STARS, wooo

Is anyone else going to Birmingham? Well if you see a female Star Lord walking around it could well be me
