#Cosplay Feature

It was my first time going to NYCC so I didn’t know what to expect. I was especially concerned how my 9 month old son would react. A friend who is an OG at the con suggested we go Thursday or Sunday since those are the slower days. We went Thursday, the opening of NYCC. My son and I cosplayed as Chi Chi and little Gohan since I’m a huge fan of DBZ. I also made sure to choose easy comfortable cosplays so I could focus on the baby, unlike most I have that would typically require a handler.

His Gohan outfit made so many people happy. Especially at the Dragon Ball booths. He ended up taking a nap at the Dragon Ball panel. He was squealing and jumping at the new Daima trailer and then suddenly knocked out a minute later. I guess he wasn’t impressed lol. We would make sure to take plenty of breaks to get him out of the stroller. Otherwise, he would get fussy.

The show area had several booths that were carpeted which was perfect so we would just sit in a corner for a bit to rest. He almost crawled for the first time during one of those breaks! NYCC also has a designated spot on the first floor for kids activities. It was a very convenient area to rest and feed him. My son also wears a helmet so we put a Captain America decal wrap over it. The extra day we took him, he was Captain America to meet Chris Evans at his photo op. Chris loved his outfit! Overall it was one of my favorite cons. Seeing my son have so much fun even at 9 months old created unforgettable memories for me.

i properly beat my third pla file yesterday (arceus killed me like 4 times lol) and immediately went to go take some silly photos as volo

'we've been expecting you' type beat. what it's like when you get curbstomped and don't return to the mountain for a second attempt at volo for a while

GIRATINA STRIKE HIM DOWNNNNN

i just thought this one went hard. volo's getup looks so much better when right next to arceus to compare. he wishes he could be me soooo bad

oh btw! MY RIDDLER COSPLAY!!! this was my first time going to any sort of fan-con, thus, it was my first time cosplaying at a big event, and i had so much fun!!

it's not super elaborate, but i got a ton of compliments and four people came up to ask for photos! (one of them being an absolutely ADORABLE Robin cosplayer - genuinely, not in a weird way, they were just really really cute 🥺 i didn't even think to take a pic of my own with them before we'd both walked away and i didn't see them again. sad...)

my official cosplay tips: don't wait until the last minute and end up having to buy a $3 plastic hat from the party supply store. it gets inordinately sweaty in there. also, when making gloves, they need to be bigger than you think. yes, even when you think you've added enough extra room. add more.

edit: fixed the alt text bc i somehow forgot to mention the coat entirely 😭

Hestu from Legend of Zelda / Cosplayer: @any​_reason_to_empower_cosplay / Photo: @jamesyealyvisuals

My mother helped me make different Halloween costumes always different then before. Looking into homemade Halloween costumes kinda lead down the rabbit hole into cosplay. In school I had other friends who’s been to conventions and talked about cosplay, it helped fuel me into looking in the community more. Since jumping into cosplay, it’s something I’m not looking into quitting anytime soon.

Our instagram came to life because we are two best friends with a love of a good theme and having any reason to dress up. The idea of anyone feeling empowered to try something new because they saw something we did would just be amazing. But even if we don’t reach others, we are constantly inspiring each other, and that in itself makes this all so much fun.

The con goers loved Hestu and he even got an honorable mention during the hall costume contest. People who were familiar with the character would say dialogue from the game to him and many others requested photos. It was amazing to hear a passing voice yell “Hestu!” “Yahaha” or “SHAKALA” when walking around the con.

Our Hestu at Katsucon was my second version of him. The first version was rough (but still brought much joy) and I wanted to redo him so he could easily be reworn whenever we wanted. He is a larger than life character that makes everyone smile, especially when shaking his maracas. I like to make cosplays that evoke nostalgia or joy especially if I get to learn a new skill set.came from both.

For his construction, the original pattern was hand drawn on large paper by looking at pictures of the character from the video game Breath of the Wild. I used nylon rip stop fabric so that he could be inflated. There are two fans that insert into the back. He was hand painted with acrylic paint mixed with fabric medium to lessen the cracking of the paint. His eyebrows, nose, and canopy are made of the same fabric as the body but are filled with polyfill. They attach to the body using Velcro. His leaf mask is a thin piece of foam painted with acrylic and coated with a sealant.

The person wearing Hestu is actually wearing a steel shoulder strap harness (what snare drummers use for marching band) that was modified to screw pvc pipes into it to help support the structure of Hestu’s tree limbs and canopy. The maracas were made from a balloon and a pvc pipe. Paper mache, plaster caste strips, and foam clay helped make the final form before painting with acrylic paints. Just like in the game, korok seeds we made from resin were used to make the maraca sounds. Our Korok named Jeff also loved handing out golden korok seed pins to con goers who found our group throughout the day.

I'm trying to make good on my "OC cosplay bingo" idea so heres my current progress on Rem

For Pupet i was testing the waters, on Sulu i wanted it to be close to his actual design, but on Rem I'm just like. vibin. groovin. i'm just following his design concept which is "Venetian nightmare jester with a dash of Nights thrown in"
