Does Anyone Cosplay?

hi darlings. okay, i'm a big comicbook nerd. and one thing i've alwas wanted to do is to go to a convention in cosplay.

cosplay is where fans dress up as characters from cartoons, comics, or videogame characters they like. i have a few characters i'd love to do and am sure i could pull them off very well.

i mean i know very well that comicons are a completely different terrain than a small costumed gathering or even pride fests and tat there is a risk of causng a scene more there than at more comfortable environments.

anyways just wondering if anyone here has done cosplay at comicons before and if they had any advice/horror stories or fond memories about it.

I cosplay as a character form an anime I like. It's pretty fun but I've only gotten to do it once =/ I've only been to one anime con and it was so fun :D My poor mom had to chaperone but she did make my outfit for me and it looked great. And of course I cosplay as a male character ;)

ive always wanted to cosplay. almos all o them are feminine except for like two but those two are for good reason: zombie spierman cus spiderman doesnt nitpick the people he saves hes got a big heart(plus the zombie factor is a bonus) and bijomaro from azumi but hes a very affeminate character complete with soft pink eye shadow,long silky black hair and pink lipgloss oh! and he is alwas carrying around a rose.

you know theres no reason to be scared to cosplay at concentions...im not sure if you heard but there is a guy who stood up for crossdressing rights on anime conventions...his code name is Man-Faye....he dressed as faye valintine from cowboy bebop and was kicked out of the con for his apperence and started to protest against it for equal cosplay rights.....he quickly became famouse due to his bold uprising to this....last year the cosplay management of conventions honored him and let him come back to the cons as man-faye and his other cross characters.....i for one am proud of his action...lemmy find a picture of him i hope laura aprove of pictures shown

a link will do....hes not trying to make himself look pretty he is just stating the fact that characters can be portrayed by either sex, ugly or beautifull, fat or skinny

I cosplay as well as crossplay. It's a very safe environment to crossdress in. Lots of crossplayers (not all) are actually transsexuals as well.

Hey,

I love cosplay. I know this cool site that you might want to check out. It is www.cosplaymagic.com. It has so many different costumes and they can even create costumes to order if you send them pics of the character. The only problem is that they don't do boots or metal. They do bootcovers and holsters and the like. I think that it is one of the coolest sites around for cosplay.

Hugs,

Kristal

I have found that anime is one of the greatest things around. I also think that it is a great chance for trans folks to be able to dress as themselves in another role. I have a few cosplay outfits but I find it fun to be whoever I want to be.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!! 
    • April Marie
      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.
