• 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.

      • 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

  • 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
