The Woes of a Cosplayer @woesandcosplay - Tumblr Blog

Note to self, always make patterns because they will come in handy later and just because I can freehand the shape for one costume doesn't mean I'll remember the geometrical logic of patterning for that type of garment months later for a new costume. Ugh. What even are circles.

I'll cosplay every day if I have to!

Me, to justify bringing multiple costumes to college.

Finally, I'm cosplaying a character as short as I am.

I want to make elaborate dresses or armor with tons of details and look fabulous at cons but I also want to just put on a sailor fuku and call it a day.

#cosplay #cons #cosplaying is so hard #and I am so lazy #and wigs and dresses tire me out like a baby

Of course the only photo I get is when I'm not in proper costume.

I thought I looked good in that photo shoot but instead I looked constipated

It's a good thing I'm wearing gloves for the costume because my hands are covered in band aids from too many poor safety choices.

I don't know how I made that skirt but it was probably ten times more complicated than necessary.

Really good cosplays give me butterflies in my stomach.

The only thing worse than starting your period right before a con is starting your period during a con.

#cosplay #girl problems #i swear this happens to me every con

One of my favorite things about cosplay is suddenly realizing that you really just made something that looks real, right out of your favorite series, with your own hands, yourself.

Either wigs come in three months later or within the next three days.

#cosplay #wigs #quotes #seriously why can't they be consistent #i hope this comes in soon

I just spent the last ten minutes trying to make my eyeliner even.

#makeup #cosplay #quotes #i just kind of suck #these wings will never match #whyyyyy

I eagerly await the day that I am gifted with the magical power to look great in photos like the rest of humanity.

#cosplay #photography #quotes #i honestly look terrible whether i want to or not #i think its a curse #im too fabulous for this world

Without cosplay I'm not really sure what to do with my life and my time anymore.
