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.

Elsa – A staged performance by an events company!

Ash Ketchum – Arrested at NYCC for being drunk and disorderly, apparently

Kakashi – Another staged one, it seems

Stormtroopers – Staged 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 White – One of several protesters arrested at the Disneyland Resort entrance in 2008 after Disney failed to meet union demands

Annnnnd Thanos – Also 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
