When you finish a cosplay and realise the buyable version of it is way prettier...

So I commented this on a friend's status on Facebook because they had mentioned that they were no longer interested in cosplaying. They hit a really rough patch, and they felt pressured to finish a cosplay for a con. They felt after they finished it, it was pointless because they only got a few photos & 40 likes. . . This was my response. I think some people get into cosplay expecting to get famous or to get noticed by someone, but I think everyone should really just be cosplaying because of the love of the character. Some people think hanging out with "popular cosplayers" will in turn make them popular. They think if they support them & share their work they are real life friends. Butttttt I've found that not to be true. . . Some people have asked me why I'm not that "popular" or why I don't have thousands of likes & fans because of how much I've done over the years. But I think it's because I never started cosplaying for those reasons. I always did it for fun & to help people. When I started my commission business in 2007 I wanted to help cosplayers get custom costumes they could wear to cons. At the time only really Ebay had costumes or you had to make them yourself. I was in fashion school leaning how to make patterns so I wanted to help others anyway I could. #gnbcosplay . . In 2011 I wanted to start a cosplay ball because there weren't any SoCal conventions having formal dances. I wasn't trying to make a bunch of money or launch myself, I was only trying to make a fun event for cosplayers. I barely broke even putting on that event. Shortly after many cons in SoCal added formal dances to their conventions because convention heads & staffers attended my event. #socalcosplayball . . In 2011 when my friends of @cho_co_co3 made our debut in the convention scene we were just trying to cosplay together & share our stories. We soon became trailblazers for diversity panels on the convention scene & shortly after was asked to guest cons. We didn't set out to become "famous" or "trailblazers" we just wanted to share our stories & invite others to share theirs. #chocolatecoveredcosplay . . #cosplaythoughts #whydoyoucosplay #cosplaydiscussions #cosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CDHyZDejyot/?igshid=dwsk3mja3xdj

That moment when you've been planning your Renji cosplay for months and you suddenly realize that your hair is more suited for Rukia. Hm...what to do for Halloween now? Opinions? #Bleach #cosplaythoughts #abarairenji #kuchikirukia #help #hairstyle #opinionsplease

I'm getting ready for #katsucon ( just ten days away! ) and am very excited to be wearing Spider-Gwen at a con for the first time. I maaaaaaay be feeling just a little self conscious about wearing the costume in public the first time? Maybe just a bit? I'm not always the most comfortable and confident in my body, but I push for and encourage body positivity and cosplay positivity in everyone always. It's our beloved hobby and it should be a safe place. I hope everyone is having a great night. 💟💖 Thank you for reading. #cosplay #cosplaypositivity #cosplaythoughts

Just thinking

I know most people won't see this but I felt the need to express my thoughts because I felt like it.. and there's no one for me to say this to.

Seeing the cosplay pictures from this year's NärCon motivated me to try and cosplay for the first time. Not to mention, watching too many videos from Crimson Hour cosplay and Vandetta cosplay's Youtube channel. So, I was thinking of Fem!Gamzee or maybe Fem!Romano or Fem!Spain... I wanted to do Gamzee but then I looked down and was like "O.O Boobs..." and I don't wanna bind it because it seems painful. Ah, but the thing is, I lack confidence... and time. STGCC is like five weeks from now. I mean, Homestuck at AFA is okay but, Homestuck isn't an anime OnO Plus, I doubt Homestuck is popular in my country.

Anyway, other than the fact that I lack confidence, I also feel intimidated by the other cosplayers around me. I don't know why though... maybe it's because they seem so good...? Too good that I feel scared.

Overall, this rounds up to my confidence and kind of thinking (which changes from positive to negative, depending on what I see and feel at the moment).

I could list a few reasons why I feel scared and not so confident but that'll take me awhile. I just want to try something new and maybe make new friends along the way. Honestly, cosplaying looks really fun and I hope to try it soon.

I just want to achieve something this year. At least, make one of my goals become reality this year.
