Those are awesome! Yeah totally, anyone should be able to cosplay whoever they want, regardless of their skin color, body type, gender, etc. Most of the cosplays I want to do are crossplays (e.g. Cecil Palmer, Deadpool, Hiccup, etc.). Regardless of how "bad" someone's cosplay might be, they put effort into it and they deserve to be recognized for it, and we all start somewhere. We're all just trying to have a good time and at the end of the day we're all just a bunch of nerds in costumes lol, no one is any better or worse than anyone else.
I agree that the roleplay is moving too fast, even with my three people after you post rule. Hell, it's my roleplay and it's hard for me to catch up on things!
@Raxacoricofallapatorius If you really need to drop out, just let me know as I will still hold your spot until things cool down for you. :)
@Lady Amalthea I haven't, I've had a lot going on irl lately and I think this RP's just moving too fast for me to keep up. I think I may have to drop out. I don't really want to, but I just can't keep up.
Con season is coming and I was wondering if there were any other Comic con enthusiasts on the Guild. (I mean, I'm sure there are, so here's a thread for you).
I'm curious about what conventions you're planning on attending but I'm more interested in what kinda costume you'll be wearing.
I only started going to cons last year but I have cosplayed every time and it's honestly the best part for me. I mean, I wouldn't go if I wasn't in costume.
This year I'm planning on going to Wizard Con in Minneapolis with my sister, and we're going to cosplay Cecil and Carlos from Welcome to Night Vale. And in June we're driving all the way out to Ohio for Colossal Con to meet some Tumblr friends and I'll probably end up getting drafted into their Homestuck cosplaying (she says I should be Gamzee?). Hopefully I'll catch a few more cons over the summer but we'll see, those are the two I'm for sure attending.
Some cosplays I've done in the past are Spider-Man (that one was really bad), Jeff the Killer (fun but I did accidentally make one little kid cry), but my favorite so far was Nana Osaki from the anime "Nana". I was Nana for Meta Con and Anime Fusion. At Meta Con I made some friends who offered to help me pull together the entire cast of Nana, and we all went to Fusion together. It was really awesome. Here's some pics:

The whole squad (from left to right): Takumi, Shin, Nana K., Nana O., Ren, Yasu, and Nobu
The Band (Black Stones) and Nana K. (Thanks to Atomic Panda Photography for the awesome photos)
But enough about me, I'd love to hear about your cosplays/cosplay wishlist and your past con experiences, and if you haven't been to a con and this is all new to you feel free to talk about what you'd like to do if you did go.
