Had so much anxious and sad energy that I've been putting into saint snow cosplays because I can't sleep

As cool as cosplay s are, try to sleep more, for your own health.

I know how to manage it, I just do it on nights where I'm dealing with health or stress flare ups for like an hour and then crash out
Sarah is going well, skirt is almost done, just needs a waistband
top is 15% done,
Accessories and other stuff, the wig needs a trim and I need to get the socks and make the belt but other than that she's on track. then I have to make Leah, but she's not due until september

Hi! This wasn't around when I was last on CS so it's nice to see it now! I'm currently working on a secret cosplay for MomoCon in late May and gathering Kagome (InuYasha) and Kokomi (Saiki K) for AnimeBoston next month. I decided to buy those two bc after Katsu I'm not up for sewing anything fast lol

Man, I wish Australia had more cons... We only have Supanova and ComicCon (which all the elitists toxify, which is a major buzzkill). So, in reality, only Supanova for the casual folks...



Lamenting aside, how durable are socks to walk around in? I'm considering getting toe socks instead of painting my feet black for YH.

[Flightstar]

I'd recommend getting fake soles or inserts! They're not super visible but that way you won't hurt your feet. I have a D.Va bodysuit that I use that literally just has rubber soles hotglued to the bottom so i don't need shoes. You should never walk barefoot/just socks.

NZ has armageddon expo and that's the big major con series for us
But I also cosplay to smaller events like picnics, and there are smaller events like overload and japan day where people cosplay as well.

I've noticed this a fair amount, and would LOVE clarification (since I'm seemingly missing something...)


You'd think am activity meant to celebrate the love of all things pop culture would be free of this sort of crap. But, I suppose, it's not.
What double standard am I referring to? Here's a hint: one of the above is celebrated, while the other is vilified and hated on.
It seems that black people can cosplay white characters, while white people cannot cosplay black characters. It really ticks me (and others off). To use an example, an online acquaintance (a fellow cosplayer) wanted to cosplay as Shuri from Black Panther. She really liked the character. Everybody else, however, hated the idea. And yet, if she were black and wanted to cosplay, say, Sleeping Beauty, everybody would encourage her.
I just don't understand the double standard -- especially since she wouldn't do blackface (which a fair amount of the other forum posters seem to think she'd do)...

The forum I mentioned isn't on CS, don't worry.
