Hey I haven’t used tumblr in ages… but I feel like this is an alright place to share cosplay stuff again.

I bet most of these aren’t even in Los Angeles too.

The only thing better than cosplayers in the wild is either, just, stealthy cosplay (NO ONE EVER HAS NOTICED MY SHERLOCK COAT) or just people wearing their favorite fandom outfits for shits and giggles.

One day in the Philly area, I stopped in the Wa-Wa for a coffee on the way to work. It’s somewhat early in the morning, so I’m not fully Processing The World, so when I go to get in line, I realize I’m almost butting in line ahead of someone else.

I look up and there is this woman with super short cropped hair in a full-on classic Star Trek gold colored commander’s uniform, bars around the black collar and boots on and and everything, hair slicked down in the 60s style.

My only reaction is: “You go ahead of me. You got here first.”

This person gives me the Courteous Nod that acknowledges someone giving you Manners, and gets in line.

She buys her coffee. I buy mine. As I’m paying, I’m watching the woman in the uniform walking away, admiring the boots she had on.

The cashier notices this, and says, matter-of-fact: “Yeah, she comes in a few times a month like that.”

I say: “Cool.”

She says: “Yeah.”

I was like half a mile from the store before I fully processed the interaction, realizing 3 things:

1) It was wild how Absolutely Normal it felt to me to see someone in a Star Fleet Uniform, just, in the world

2) I hoped it happened again soon, and

3) if I had bumped into someone wearing a Disneyworld-style Mickey Mouse outfit, I would have freaked the fuck out, because that shit is terrifying.

my favorite genre of photo is cosplayer out in a random place in public. and i’m not talking abt malls or hot topic and shit where you’re already more likely to find cosplayers. i’m talking abt seeing like a junko enoshima cosplayer at a mcdonald’s

Going to Tekko in Pittsburgh this weekend; Just finished making a DIY Caledscratch for my Dave cosplay, and as the first prop I've literally ever made, I'm very proud of how it turned out!

[some-dull-scissors]

your post about cosplaying morph at steel city con brought the existence of that con to my attention and now I am 100% going (fellow yinzer morph believer and Pittsburgh resident)

If you tell me who this is we could meet up 👀👉👈 I’m going only on Friday though

[significant-narratives]

sorry, the two characters. the one in exile. which one of them?

hang tight, anon.

(cw for mentions of infidelity + gender-bending + uh. unaddressed but unavoidable power dynamics below the cut) (sorry)

i wasn't sure what the best way to summarize this was but basically. the two central characters of this au are r63!willy and auston + the maple leafs ensemble. the thesis statement of this au is truly just 'devotion as a love language' and how you can fuck up in the worst ways and people will still love you anyways because you can't make someone love you and you can't make someone stop loving you either.

as i said to bes in the DMs: mitch/auston/willy are each in radically different genres in this story. auston’s in a contemporary romance,, willy is in a trauma recovery / female rage / late stage coming of age drama,, and mitchy is just. in a sports anime.

and kyle dubas is. cosplaying a normal man who has an affair and does not suffer the consequences of it. like at all.

the tl;dr is uh. kyle and girl!willy have a several-years-long affair that ends abruptly when kyle leaves for pittsburgh. willy proceeds to have her hot girl summer, and in the original timeline of this au, this is around the time that she and auston start hooking up / developing feeling for each other and then she has her revenge season and falls in love with her best friend over the course of many years and they live happily ever after. this is the kinder timeline of this au.

however, in the exile arc of this au, uh. unfortunately the news of the affair leaks to the media -> willy disappears from the hockey world over night and spends years in exile in the swedish countryside -> auston only realizes he's in love with her after she's gone from his life with no way to track her down -> kyle wins GM of the year and wins the *** with the penguins. because life isn't fair and i like to suffer <3

this timeline also has a happy ending but it's obviously much more bittersweet and more complicated.
