#Shuto Con 2015

[secretlymarkipliersbarry]

In honor of it being Wilford Warfstache’s Birthday, I’m gonna tell a story about a Warfstache cosplayer I met.

I’m not sure if I ever told this story, but I know at the time I really wanted too. If I did then here I am telling it again, if not, here you go!

So in 2017 I went to Shuto Con. If you don’t know what that is it is a local anime convention in Lancing Michigan. I’ve been to Shuto one time before that in 2015. It was after me and my boyfriend had broken up, and my friend wanted to do something nice for me. I really enjoyed it. It had a lot of panels and a game room and loooots of artist and merch, so when my cousin asked me to go with her in 2017, I was happy to do so.

I wanted to cosplay, I’ve been to two conventions (Shuto and Evillecon in Indiana) and I never really cosplayed. I felt like I was missing out, and since it was such late notice I couldn’t order anything. I really wanted it to be Markiplier based, but had no idea what to do. I told my cousin I was thinking of cosplaying Tiny Box Tim, but I had no idea what to do for it.

Which she said as a joke “Just put a box on your head”

Yea that's exactly what I did

DISCLAIMER

I didn’t know at the time it is dangerous to cosplay with cardboard. My dumb ass not only had cardboard on my head for hours but cardboard that was spray painted. I do not recommend it. Nothing happened and I was completely fine but just be safe and don’t be dumb like me.

So I had it all set up! I made the cosplay head

I thought it turned out pretty nice. I was really proud, and when the convention came around, I was ready to go.

Much like other cosplayers, I had spent the night before finishing up the head. So I didn’t get to bed till late and had to get up early so that was a fun time. When my cousin and her boyfriend came to go, we got all of our things ready, and we left, me having no idea what was going to happen at the convention.

When we got there, it was bustling. There were people everywhere, noise, excitement, everyone ready for a sweet weekend. I put on the head to make sure everything was fine, and realized how fun it was going to be to try and see out of it since the only way to really see was through the mouth, which pointed toward the ground. So I took it off in order to pick up my badge.

As I stood in line, I looked around seeing the cool cosplays and some people that looked familiar, in the end, seeing the one person I never thought I was going to see.

Wilford Warfstache

I got so fucking excited dude. He looked PERFECT for Wilford. His hair was spray painted pink and it had the curls. He had killer glasses his Warfstache was on POINT. It was, of course, the one you buy on amazon his outfit was even right. Of course, he was cosplaying, he put TIME into his outfit, that that wasn’t what caught my attention the most. He was acting like Wilford REALLY well. He was super outgoing and jumpy and doing the suspender thing.

You know

The suspender thing

So my giddy ass was like on my GOD I wanna talk to this loser. He looked around my age, so I was like we both like Mark we must be meant to be friends. However I’m shy as fuck and I still needed to get my badge, so I sadly just watched him walk away back into the convention. 

After we got our badges, I put my TBT head back on to head into the convention. Thankfully my cousin and her boyfriend were there to guild me.

They didn’t have to guide me far though cause I didn’t even fully get through the doors of the convention before hearing

“TINY BOX TIM!“

I panicked, looking around to see who called and then just see a fucking flash of pink.

The Wilford that I had just seen and was to shy to go talk to, found me

He came up and just instantly hugged me, calling me his little biscuit and saying how excited he was to see me there. (Spoiler but later when I talked to him he told me he asked me if I had made the head, but I couldn’t hear him from the shock factor of everything). People began to SWARM us, asking for pictures and asking if we came together, he had to answer all the questions cause I was too quiet behind the head, he still had his arm around me though as he talked to people. So many pictures were taken, and I even got a few myself.

As we continued to walk around the convention after saying goodbye to the bubblegum prince, I had a few people recognize me and ask for pictures or just call out my name. I would wave and take pictures and I just enjoyed being at the convention. I ran into the Wilford twice after that, once while I was sitting and didn’t have my head on, so I didn’t think he knew it was me, and again when I did have my head on and we went to buy things from the artist. Several people swarmed us again asking for pictures and one super sweet girl almost started crying saying how it made her day to see us cause she didn’t expect to see Markiplier cosplayers there. Wilford and I took pictures with her and told her we were glad we made her day, and then we continued to do our own thing.

He was honestly the sweetest Wilford ever, he played the part well, he looked well, and I was so glad I got to meet him.

Sailor Moon was someone I wanted to cosplay since 2015. The thing is I had a hard time making the cosplay. The rolls to the skirt was really difficult for me. My first attempt was a failure but I didn't let it stop me. I finally completed it in 2016 when I tried to make it again. I was so happy when I was done. I achieved making the skirt rolls and was able to put my own twist on the hair. I gave her afro puff ponytails to give the cosplay an afro centric vibe.

Anime Central 2016 was my first Acen ever. I loved it. It was so big and amazing. There were so many different cosplays. I decided to do Sailor Moon because she was my newest cosplay. I only did her once before at Shuto Con. Since Acen was new for me, why not bring my newest cosplay! The reactions at Acen were great. I got nothing but love and support from Acen.

Hey guys, so I purchased this lovely bag at ShutoCon 2015 and would like to order a new one. This one took some smoke damage from a fire and I'd really like to replace it. Does anyone know the vendor??
