Never cosplayed personally, but friend went in an admittedly simple Jedi costume back during the Phantom Menace era. We went to a Star Wars convention and just wow. The vibe was incredible. He garnered us so much attention in what was essentially a hand sewn wool blanket with a light sabre toy (no blade) on his belt with glued cardboard detailing. People LOVED the effort though even if it paled in comparison to the ‘professionals’ out there. Guaranteed conversation in any line or wait area. Great way to meet hot Twi’leks in your area. Cannot recommend enough you get into it if you are at all interested.
I cosplay a plague doctor all the time? I don’t really have anything too interesting to say about it tho, sorry
Do you ever wish you picked something that didn’t require a mask full time?
It’s surprisingly well ventilated, lots of hidden air holes in the bottom near my mouth, and it doesn’t tend to get too hot. I’d say I prefer it to the standard face masks from covid, breathing-wise. Tends to be cool here anyway
Worst aspect is the dark lenses, helps with bright lights and sunshine, but in the evening it can be hard to see
I’m actually really grateful for it, it helps reduce my extreme social anxiety. I also use a Venetian half mask as part of a masquerade look, and that has the same effect
Sorry, I know none of this is interesting
Cosplayed as a Dalek once. It was hot, stuffy, and difficult to manoeuvre. I now understand why Daleks are angry all the time.
Ive cosplayed a handful of times. Maybe 4 or 5? Elektra Netflix version was most fun as someone gave me their sparing sais and I found other Netflix Daredevils at the time to pose pics with and pretend to spar.
I was Momo from My Hero Academia. A generic agent from Psychopass. The gun prop i have is fun. It flashes and talks. Jealous now though as there are some that transform. It was cool when I found other characters from the show.
Lastly, I was a terrorist from Counter Strike. I had rubber knives, grenade, sunglasses and I drew a mustache for myself!
I havent cosplayed in a while though and havent been to any conventions lately
I’ve cosplayed as countless characters before, the majority of times it being accidental. Though, if I’m doing it intentionally, although sometimes the ease falls in my lap as one sees, I tend to stay in my appearance range.
