#testing but also jsut an excuse to post

[grojrockss]

something quick

[rebullets]

This is a request @its-deputy-caleb asked for. They also had requested fluffy headcanons but tweaked it to this idea, I will still post the fluffy Micah hcs however<3 This is if he just immedietly czme back to camp btw.

Picking up Micah from Strawberry.

Micah needed to be picked up in strawberry. Baylock, his trusty steed, was nowhere to be seen. Micah could whistle as loud as possible, and the horse simply wouldn't show up.

Arthur didn't feel like giving him a ride back, he didn't want that rat on his horse. No one else wanted to either, so Dutch of course asked you to do it. You didn't have an issue with it though, it just gave you a chance to be alone and close to him.

Upon getting there, he was standing right outside town, cleaning his guns as he usually did. You noticed a body or two a little ways down the road, and realized when Arthur meant when he said Micah messed up yet again.

"Took ya long enough, cowpoke." Micah scoffed out, walking over to your horse. He smacked your hand away when you offered to help him up, rolling his eyes. "I ain't a little kid, I ain't need your help." he grumbled and climbed up onto the saddle behind you.

You were going to scoot forward to give him space, but he didn't let you, wrapping his arms around your middle, so you were up against his chest. "Don't think I'm tryin' to be cute. I just don't wanna fall off." he defended. You kind of knew he really did want to be cuddled, because after all, you would too if you were about to get hanged and suddenly got rescued.

About 10 minutes later, Micah lightly rested his head on top of yours, yawning as he did so.

"You can just ask for snuggles you know."

"I ain't cuddlin'. Just tired and don't wanna fall off.." The outlaw scoffed, giving you a tight squeeze for a second.

Really though, he was cuddling you, and meaning to as well. God he hadn't had any kind of affection, especially from you, in such a long time. He needed this sort of touch, especially after being right on the edge of being killed. Sure he was thankful to Arthur for rescuing him, but if he was being honest, YOU saved him. You're the one who made him feel better, and you're the one he secretly wanted all to himself.

"Riiight. Then this, is just so you don't fall off." you turned and looked up at him for a second, placing a kiss on his scarred up chin, then looking straight once more.

"Now what the hell was that for? Huh? I ain't wantin' any of your cooties, idiot.." Micah seemed pissed about it as he wiped his mouth. He regretted wiping it off though, but he didn't say it. He liked that kiss. He liked it a lot. And if he could, he would have you do it again.

Of course. He was never going to admit how much he was enjoying this definitely not romantic encounter. Especially to you. You'd tell Dutch. Hell, you'd tell everyone. Right? Right. He knew you would. You did it when Sean told you he slept with a guy on accident and not because he wanted to test the waters with men.

"Where's Baylock? Never see ya without 'im." you pointed out, and felt Micah stiffen.

"Dunno. That stupid horse probably up and ran away."

The truth however, is he sent Baylock to camp on his own, secretly when Arthur got him out of jail. Just so he could request Arthur send you to pick him up. So he could cuddle you the entire way back. Jsut so he could feel you in his arms the entire time. So he could feel that, someone did care about him, and would always be there for him as well.

As soft and vulnerable as it sounded, it was true. If he could, he would snuggle you all day every day. Everyone in camp would make fun of you two, but why would it matter?

""Y/n, uh. When we get there, do you wanna rest in my bed or somethin'. I know you don't like sleepin' next to that drunken priest." he offered, trying to make it sound innocent, when really, he jsut wnated an excuse to snuggle.

"With you?"

"What? No, not with me. I ain't wantin' to be that close to ya."

"Oh, okay." You tried to act upset to see if it would change anything.

"..I mean, if ya want. We sleep close enough to eachother anyway." He grumbled quietly, trying to act all angry about it. Of course, he wasn't though, he wanted to cuddle when they got to camp too.

The rest of the ride back was mostly silent, but whe. you got there, there were a few boos at Micah. He waved them off, going to speak to Dutch.

By the time he came back out of the tent, you were already asleep on his bed on the ground. He scoffed and muttered some angry words under his breath, staying in character. He shot glares and a few curses at anyone who dared to question him laying down and snuggling you.

As much as he hated to admit it, he loved affection. Especially when it was from you.:)

[docholligay]

What hobbies or activities would your OW crew each try and pick up during corona quarantine?

Tracer

Lena is going to try and learn a second language. She took French in school, didn’t she? And didn’t she graduate school? Right! So this should be an absolute walk in the park. French it is. Her first choice was Arabic, as it was, in fact, the prospect of Amari drama that made her embrace the wisdom of being a polyglot in the first place, but Mercy’s gentle suggestion that she start with something a bit closer to home base made her try for French. Arabic could be her third language. 

And it isn’t that Tracer is stupid, so much as she has the full confidence that she can try hard and find success. This has been true so many times in her life, that she was simply the one most dedicated to the outcome, and so she managed to wrench it from the hands of fate. She is quick, and clever, and capable! What’s FRENCH got that she can’t handle. 

Lena, five minutes in: Oh, right, I hated school. 

She tries, god love her, but it just doesn’t hold her attention. She’s trying so hard to write verb forms and study and study, but she doesn’t honestly care much to KNOW French. It reminds her of Amelie, for starters, and that always gives her a little bit of a pit in her stomach, and without Amelie, there seems very little reason to know it. Only one in the house who speaks it is Mercy, really. 

So she takes account of the languages her team knows. 

Hana...Korean, of course, and at least some Japanese, mostly for promotional reasons. Lena takes one look at the Japanese rules of politeness and deference and gently sets the language to the side. She thinks about Korean--Korea’s been so much help since the omnic crisis, and it’s a good thing to converse with your allies--but the daunting aspect of having to ask Hana, who seems not even to know herself whether she likes everyone in the house or not, overcomes her. 

Fareeha, well, that’d be Arabic, and that’s it, so far as Lena knows, and Ang’s already warned her off of that one. Fareeha’s feeling a it pricky about the whole Arabic situation since her mother’s come back, anyhow, and all her workout music has turned to English, and Lena’s not certain why she seems to be blaming the entire Arab world for Ana, but then again, Lena doesn’t understand Fareeha in the best of times. 

Winston, he’d of course help her, but a lot of his knowledge is tied up in Latin and Scholarly Greek, and she’s not sure why anyone would take all the effort when you couldn’t even properly go on holiday. He does know a fair amount of German, she figures, but if she’s going to do that, she may as well go to Ang, and besides all that, Winston dos so much for her. No need to throw in another thing. 

Ana: No. 

Jack: No, but a bit softer. 

Angela seems the natural choice, as she knows so many languages, comparatively. Her father was a linguist of sorts, to hear Ang talk around the edge of it, and so German, French, Italian, Latin, Hebrew, at the least, all come to her quickly and easily. It’s English she likes the least, and she’s better at it than she gives herself credit for, near perfect but for a few stange tenses. It really only Ang who notices. But Angela is, well, Ang, and with all the troubles of the world, she’s lost her mind, a bit. 

So there’s no real help to be had, and Lena buys a few Muzzy tapes in French and learns how to say “I am a young girl” and “I like apples” before deciding that her quarantine time is better spent ensuring that she can actually climb the drain to the roof, jump from the roof into the pool, and other extremely valuable information. No one was hiring her for the language department anyhow. 

Winston

WInston is more used to solitude than the rest of them, and as far as he’s concerned, it’s not really loneliness if Tracer is with him. THough he feels bad for her, and how stir crazy she’s getting. It makes him sad to see her so bored and glum, though she is trying to make cheer of it. 

And so Winston has a genius idea. Tracer LOVES gymnastics, and Winston loves a project. So the idea for the super bounce trampoline is born. 

You cannot tell Winston this is a bad idea. You cannot tell Winston this is a bad idea, because, on some level, he already knows. He knows, but he sees Tracer doing her little cartwheels in the yard, running laps, trying to create little games for herself where she creates time trials around the house, trying to improve on each activity lap. At the time where she breaks three plates trying to see if she can beat her time for table service, it even starts to sound like a GOOD idea. 

He’s fine making little picnic lunches together and watching TV and having her ‘help’ in the lab, but she is becoming despondent with the boredom of it all. It has been ten days. 

And so, he looks at the metals he’s engineered for use in his prosthetic limbs. Couldn’t they also be used to create a spring that would double your strength and energy return of a normal spring? Than Lena could do all kinds of maneuvers on the trampoline, and besides, it’s always important to know the limits of engineering. 

Angela tries to remind him hospitals  are full. 

Dva

The first day of quarantine, Hana Song pops a soda in her pj shorts and says, “It’s a pandemic! Why do we have to improve ourselves? God, isn’t it enough to be alive?” She takes a deep sip. “I’ll do some charity streams, okay?” 

As she’s walking away Tracer asks her if she’ll help paint the upstairs den. Tracer is making little physical projects for herself in varying levels of horror, sometimes while watching the Muzzy tapes to convince herself she hasn’t given up on the bilingual dream. Painting seems tame. Hana stops for a moment, then agrees. 

She is the only reasonable person in this house. 

Mercy

Angela is in a panic. The entire world seems to be crumbling at her feet, and though she is no epidemiologist, she knows that none of this is good. She wants to go. Pharah begs her to stay. She is afraid for Angela. To put her in some ICU where she could get the illness, where it could be, as such, that Fareeha would not be able to come to her. She understands Angela’s need to help, but also, she says, what if something happened to you? You are the only doctor with any real knowledge of Tracer. What would be come of her. 

Angela only looks at her for a moment before her face darkens, and Fareeha shakes her head, ashamed. “I was using Tracer to excuse my own fears. I am selfish. You should go.” 

And in that moment, Angela does not leave not because she is the only physician who can properly work with Tracer’s condition, but for the great love of Fareeha Amari, who for the first time since Angela has known her, is truly afraid. 

The days pass with difficulty. She is writing guidelines and ideas to anyone she can, coordinating donations and writing out thank yous and pleas, sitting in the bay window of their bedroom as the sleeting snow and rain fall against the window one bleak afternoon. The sun and storm come in patches, she’s noticed, but the grey seems to speak to her most all. 

Fareeha comes to her one day. She has a mug filled with hot chocolate and whipped cream and brandy and love. She gently places her hand on Angela’s knee. 

“I hear you crying in the night,” she says, though she cannot look to Angela’s face, “You should go. You must go.” 

She loves Fareeha so very much. 

She goes. 

Pharah

Which immediately drives the sort of disconnected and floating morass of ennui that is the Overwatch household into Von Trapp style whistle blowing order. 

Pharah’s project, you see, is everyone else. 

Fareeha is a lovely person in most respects, all of them would say in one way or another, but she has certain control issues, and these never become more pronounced than when her life seems, well, out of control. 

No more laying about. There is a kitchen to be reorganized, there are drills to be done, when was the last time you lifted? There is a color coded schedule posted in the kitchen and we should all take note of the way Fareeha has scheduled our time. Tracer balks, of course, that she’s the leader as well, and Fareeha has a terrible habit of assuming that it’s her who’s the leader entire and complete, and you know what else--

Winston pulls them apart. Neither of them, he tries to say, are actually angry with each other. He shakes when he says it. 

And so Pharah tries. God love her, she tries SO HARD. She improves herself, and tries to let others be. She reorganizes the entire kitchen. She labels every bulk container, She scrubs every floor in the house to a gleaming shine. Her clothes, and Angela’s all washed and organized by sshade and season. 

One night Lena comes downstairs and sees her looking out the window, drinking a Labatt, rubbing at her wedding ring. Lena wouldn’t embarrass her by asking, but her eyes seem to beglistening, jsut a bit. 

The next morning, all three of the rest of the OVerwatch team are lined up, at the bottom of the stairs, at 6 am sharp. 

It’s true that Fareeha takes herself on three hour runs across the prairie in all weathers to give everyone some down time where they don’t have to be doing anything, but they broker a sort of peace wherein they spend a certain amount of time doing Fareeha Amari’s Twelve Point Improvement Plan every day, and time doing their own thing, and Fareeha seems genuinely cheered to be plotting out their workout and meal plans, their online seminars to listen to. She and Lena even watch a few Muzzy tapes together. 

She even forgives Tracer when the first test of Winston’s trampoline finds Lena sailing through Pharah’s (Thankfully open) bedroom window. 

Ana and Jack:

 They spend all of quarantine watching 90 Day Fiancee and eating TV dinners.

Part 2

[calliecat93]

Okay, I need to vent this out. The ‘Ruby is really Qrow’s daughter’ theory baffle me for MULTIPLE reasons. Now if you believe the theory, that is fine. Who am I to kill others enjoyment? It is a fun theory with character development opportunities for everyone involved if true... but there’s still various issues with it. If it’s true, great. But there’s really no hinting or anything to confirm it and it breaks a lot of logic. THis is a critical post looking at the reasons that, inmy opinion,t he theory jsut doens’t work. It’s only my opinuon and youa re free to agree or disagree with me. Thank you, and now lets get this out of my system.

1. Genetics

This is probably the most common argument I’ve seen. When you look at Ruby, she doesn't really have anything matching Tai the same way Yang does. Now we’ve seen a photo of Summer, and Ruby does take after her in various ways (silver eyes, body structure, wears a hood). But her appearance, wearing a lot of black and red, matches Qrow more. Her fighting style also closely matches Qrow and he’s the one she’s closest to, even above her father. 

But... here’s the issue with that. Ruby takes after Qrow because she chose to. Qrow trained her to fight and he is someone she idolizes due to it. She isn’t good at hand to hand, hence why Tai and Yang’s styles was probably something she chose not to take on. She is best with weaponry, and Qrow taught her to use a scythe, which IDT is exactly an easy weapon to use. And as far as looks go, yeah she doesn't look a lot like Tai... so what? I mean not counting fashion choices, the only thing Yang got from Tai was his hair color. Looks wise, she looks FAR closer to Raven. Heck, Ruby's fashion choices (red and black) can also match Raven more closely than Tai, but I don’t see any ‘Ruby is actually Raven's second daughter’ theories going around. Ruby just matches Qrow because she admires him and was taught by him and she just got mroe form her mom in terms of looks. But her personality, being a kind, caring person with some quirkiness, she definitely got form her dad because he raised her right. So saying that Ruby is Qrow’s real daughter because she looks more like him... doesn't work. 

2. Portrayal 

This is the biggest reason I can’t like this theory. So... lets say that Qrow and Summer did like each other. Okay, I’m fine with that. I have no issues with Qrow having feelings for Summer at all and due to his Semblance, it creates a tragic situation where he can't truly be with her. But for Ruby to be conceived... ti would mean that Summer cheated on Tai. And that would mean that Qrow... made love to Summer despite knowing that she was with Tai and knowing that the guy already got abandoned by his first wife. Tell me, does this make either Summer or Qrow likeable? At all?

Okay, maybe you can argue that Summer got with Tai after she got pregnant. Maybe Qrow had to leave due to his Semblance/his duty and Summer turned to Tai because of it. That's... still horrible cause she’s turning to another man when she should fully know the reasons why. heck, with her silver eyes she was probably even mroe central to the conflict. Moment of weakness, maybe. But that would also make Tai look horrible for taking advantage of a pregnant woman going through a hard time. Something that he would NOT due, especially since he would know better than any of them how being betrayed by a lover sucks. Now we don’t knwo a lot about Summer, but from what little insight we’ve gotten we know that she was a caring person who never gave up hope, ala Ruby. We’ve seen that Tai and Qrow are good guys, even if Qrow is kind of grumpy an jaded. Sure, maybe they grew up, but even so it doesn't really fit them to act that way. It just makes STRQ look like a bunch of terrible jerks who ruined their loes for stupid reasons. Yeah their team fell apart, but I don’t think soap opera cliches are the reasons why.

It just makes more sense and makes everyone still be likable if after Raven left, Summer tried to help Tai with Yang out of the goodness of her heart. It led t the two falling in love and having Ruby. Maybe Qrow would have been sad cause that killed any chance with Summer, but he accepted it and viewed Ruby as his niece as much as he did Yang. So then you’re left with people who are flawed, but still good. It just makes for less pointless cliched drama, is all I’m saying.

3. Family 

One reason I’ve seen people go with this theory si because of how many moent Ruby and Qrow have had. He treats RUby like a daughter and as I alreayd mentions, she modeled herself after him. We’ve never really seen her relationship with Tai outside the V3 finale and RUby implying that he’s overprotective. So it feels like that there’s a stronger connection between RUbya nd Qrow.

This is my issue with tat. Yes, RUbya nd Qrow are close. He does treat RUby as if she was his daughter and it’s adorable. So... why does that mean he has to be her father? Why can’t he just be her honorary uncle? That doesn't undermine the relationship at all. In fact, ti strengthens it. Neither Ruby nor Qrow are related by blood, but Qrow took on his niece because he wanted to help her get stronger and he taught her how to fight, strengthening her resole to become a Huntress. He’s known Ruby since she was born and watched her grow up, even if sometimes from a distance. He’s shown that he cares deeply for both of his nieces, he just expresses it in different ways. With Yang, he talks to her like she’s an adult. He knows that’s how she wants to be treated. Sure it can sound harsh, but it’s what she responds to and he understands that. It’s also why he told her where to find Raven. Yang is an adult and should be able to face her mother. He knows that she’ll make the right choice about her life and that she should be allowed to have that knowledge and do what she wants with it. 

But Ruby isn’t an adult. She doesn't respond to that kind of talk well. While she is growing up, she’s not as tough and it’s best to be mroe gentle and laid back when talking to her. SO Qrow treats her as she is, a young girl still growing. he doesn't talk down to her, but hes far more gentle and light-hearted with her than he is with Yang. It’s because he knows how these girls respond to things, and talks with them on the level that works best with them. Why? Because he’s their uncle and has been there since they were babies. He doesn't need to be Ruby’s father to care about her. He cares about her because he has been a par tof her life since she was young. He couldn't always be around, but he still made an effort. It shows that he’s overall a good person and does care about his nieces deeply. It doesn't matter what the relation is, it’s the type of person he is that matters. It’s why Raven is Yang’s mother only int he sense that she gave birth to her. Otherwise? She left her daughter when at least a few days old and made little effort to be with her. Due to it, Raven isn’t considered family by Yang and doesn't deserve to be at this time. Qrow is seen as the girls uncle because he still made the effort. And there is nothing wrong with that.

4. Logic

While my second reason is the reason I can't like the theory, this is the biggest reason on why I can't believe the theory Okay, lets pretend that the theory is confirmed. It turns out that Qrow is indeed Ruby's real father. He hid it form her because... because... ugh... huh, why did he hide it form her? That the biggest question I have with this. If this is true, why is Qrow hiding it? Okay, lets say it’s due to his Semblance. He’s a danger to Ruby, so he has to keep away form her... yet we know from Yang in V2 that he WAS around in their lives. We know form Ruby’ own words that Qrow trained her. Look, yes Qrow’s Semblance sucks, but it’s not an excuse to hide from Ruby that he’s her father. All that would nee dot be said is ‘my Semblance means I can't be around for long, so while I’m gon you get to lvoie with Taiyang and his daughter.” Why lie about it? Why have Tai pose as her real father to not hurt her? Even though the truth would eventually come out and hurt her anyways? Why make her question everything she knew all because he thought that not telling her the truth was better than just simply explaining why he was away so often, but assure her that he still loved her. Plus he STILL made an effort to be a part of her life, which kills the reason on why he’d keep back to begin with. 

Lets go with another theory. It’s possible that Qrow didn’t know that Ruby was his kid until she was born... but I think it wouldn’t take very long to do a DNA test (which I assume the kingdoms have) and find out. Which Tai would confront him about this since that would mean Summer cheated on him and... yeah this leads back to pointless drama. Which would mean that Qrow was ashamed or something and chose to hide it because of it. Which is arguably an even worst reason. Maybe Summer would still let him be involved in Ruby’s life, but why would she go along with it then? Why lie to her own child about her actual father? Sure, Summer died when Ruby couldn’t talk so Summer couldn’t explain it to her. But why would Tai hide it then? That make shim look no better than Qrow. Why would they both be that incredibly stupid and selfish? Heck, going off the ‘Summer cheated on him’ theory, why would he still BE with her? And if we go with the ‘Tai stole Summer’ theory, it just makes Ti nd SUmmer looks like terrible people keeping aman’s daughter away from him just to be dicks. WHich goes against their character and... UGH this is breaking my brain/

Lets stick tot he ‘Qrow is hiding it cause of Semblance’ theory cause it’s the most logical... and is still stupid. Qrow is NOT that STUPID or HEARTLESS. He would NEVER put Ruby through that kind of pain. He would never lie to her that way. It goes against his character and make shim look like an asshole on par with his sister. And do you think that Tai would go along with that? No, he wouldn’t. Especially since that would still mean that either he stole a pregnant woman from her lover or his lover went against his back. He would maybe still take Ruby in cause it’s still a kid who did nothing wrong, but he wouldn’t lie to her about that after the shit he went through. Its just OOC for both of them to hide that with little regard to how it would affect Ruby. Sure, they haven’t gone in to how Summer died so that may hit her hard, but that’s due to a larger conflict. Not because of stupid personal problems. There is just no real good reason for Qow to hide that he’s Ruby's father. If it’s true, maybe the show will come up with an explanation. But as it stands right now, ti would just be stupid, make zero sense, and would only serve in breaking Ruby for no good reason. And as much as I lie a good emotional character arc, it needs ot be for better reasons than that.

As I said, I’m not attacking those who believe the theory. You are free to keep believing in it. Hell, maybe I’m missing something and others have better evidence and explanations on why it does work and make sense. Fair enough. But to me, it’s just stupid, pointless, and makes everyone involved look like assholes. And it is why, unless CRWBY does make it canon and give a good reason why, I cannot and will not believe this theory. Thank you for reading.

So I was watching youtube videos of former Disney cast members' embarrassing or horrifying work stories and it got me thinking about my own embarrassing or horrifying experiences not as a Disney cast member but as a Disney cosplayer because let me tell you, the weird interactions are not confined solely to the official friends of Disney characters. I've got a couple doozies myself that I now feel like sharing so I'm gonna put them all under the cut in case you wanna read them or in case you don't and don't want a potentially long post clogging up your dash.

Mmkay so the first horrible experience I had cosplaying was not exactly with a character interaction but just with the environment and my own experiences. I was at Tampa Bay Comic Con 2014 as Violet from The Incredibles and I was having a great time, it was a cool con even though I had to travel kind of far for it. I got a picture with this really cool Bucky/Winter Soldier cosplayer and he had an adorable little daughter dressed as Batgirl who hopped into one of the other pictures who seemed really delighted to see Violet and everything. Things seemed to be going pretty well until my morale plummetted significantly. I hadn't really eaten much that day and my heels were killing me and I just overall felt really sick and sweaty. Needless to say, things kept getting worse up until the point where I nearly threw up in a trash can and had to basically stumble to the bathroom to nearly vomit and change out of my costume. I never did actually throw up but I certainly felt like I was going to and it was awful. My best friend, who was with me, and I ended up sitting outside together waiting for my parents to come pick us up (which took, like, an hour) and I went through nearly an entire pack of Tic Tacs trying to calm my stomach down. Probably the worst convention experience I've ever faced, truthfully.

These other two stories are interaction-based and the second is far worse than the first. This first one was fairly recent, this past September, where I attended a con (again, with my best friend) as my all-time fave, Rapunzel from Tangled. The catalyst in this story is, ironically, the hair. The wig I was wearing I was at the time was my pride and joy, my 13ft long loose Rapunzel wig. This wig was a main goal of mine in my cosplay endeavors for ages so I was super pumped to have finally created it and worn it to a convention (even if it did get INCREDIBLY messy). So anyways, my best friend and I were walking around the convention, taking some pictures outside, you know, just having fun, and as we're outside in the courtyard of the hotel the convention was being held in, this family with three adorable small children comes over and asks if their kids can get a picture with Rapunzel. Of course I said yes and I jumped right into character to interact with them for a bit and get the pictures and stuff. The one little girl, who was most excited to see me, ran over and hugged me and she was just so super happy and it made me happy to see her so happy. However, this is also where the story turns. I had my hair in a small pile right beside myself and as the interaction was ending, I asked the two little girls if I could get a big princess hug before they left because that's what I do when I'm a princess. I turn on the charm and go full Magic Kingdom. Well, the little girl who was most excited leans over to give me a hug but then as she goes to walk away back to her family, she trips on the hair and faceplants into the ground. If it hadn't been for her hands, she would've got a mouth full of concrete and a bloody nose. I panicked and reached out to help her up but she got back onto her feet on her own...only to trip on the hair AGAIN. I paste a smile on my face and lean over to try and help her up again but inside I'm secretly DYING like oh my god how can I possibly live with myself knowing this little girl has now nearly hurt herself just from hugging her favorite princess??? How is she going to feel watching Tangled or meeting Rapunzel in the parks now after this??? Aaaahhhhhhh x_x She ended up being okay and the family wasn't angry or anything, thank god, but I still felt terrible. My best friend got the entire thing on video, too, so I can relive it whenever I want haha The interaction itself wasn't horrible, though, and I like seeing video clips of me interacting in character with small children so I can figure out what I like and what I don't like from a subjective point of view, the tripping part is just what gets me every time because I just felt SO BAD.

This last one is probably the worst just because it is, what I consider, the creepiest and most out of line out of every cosplay experience I've had. So, because I cosplay a lot of Disney characters, I consider it the closest I can get to being an actual Disney cast member and official friend of the characters and therefore I like to uphold Disney's policy of character integrity. I will never tell a child at a convention that I am not the real Rapunzel or the real Ariel or the real Belle or Alice or what-have-you unless they know I'm not really them and I know they know because if a small child sees her favorite princess at a convention and runs up to her for a hug and a picture, you've gotta make that moment the most magical it can possibly be because for all you know, this kid might not get to go to Disney a lot to meet the real Rapunzel or Ariel or Belle or Alice. I tend to be way more lax with this with the adults because, let's face it, if an adult is at a convention nonetheless cosplaying, they know the deal and it's not a problem. However, that doesn't mean I'm standing around giving out personal information like my real name or something to these people. I'll hand out my cosplay pseudonym, of course, so people can find me on facebook if they like my stuff or whatever but I will never be so stupid as to give strangers my real name when I'm in costume. It's just a personal policy of mine that I refuse to abolish. That's where the story comes in. I was at another convention as Violet and things were going really well, my dad was with me this time which is always fun because we both like to nerd out together but at the same time, he is my personal designated body guard and that is always a necessity when I'm Violet. More than anyone else (except maybe Ariel-- I've never actually attended a con as her before so we'll see what happens when that ship sails), Violet is always the one character who gets a lot of questionable stares or murmured comments as if you don't think I know about that dark portion of the internet that houses all The Incredibles porn. Believe me, I've seen your comics of Violet sucking her dad's dick. No, I don't enjoy the incest. Enjoy what you want in your own spare time but don't think I'm going to indulge in your fantasies like that. Because Violet is such an underdog sex figure in some communities, though, cosplaying her can get a little nerve-wracking because you never know whose going to be checking out your ass in that spandex or trying to score with you. My guard is always up tenfold when I'm Violet like invisible forcefields everywhere, people. But anyways, I was at a convention as Violet one time and I mean, things were going well so far, I was getting pictures with a lot of really cool cosplayers and we were complimenting each other's costumes and everything and it was overall jsut this really positive environment at first. Then this one guy came over to get a picture with me and I was a little wary at first because he seemed a little...off. I wasn't sure if he was just a little mentally disabled or if something else was going on but this made my dad very on edge. But anyways, so we get the picture, it's all fine and well, but then this kid starts trying to drum up a conversation with me and insistently asking for my name-- my real name. As stated above, I have a very strict character integrity policy when it comes to cosplaying so this was kind of a test of my moral strength. Even though this guy was an adult or at least a teenager, I still didn't feel comfortable answering this question so I tried to throw him off with in-character excuses like "I can't really say. My identity is my most valuable possession, after all" and stuff like that but THIS KID WOULD NOT GIVE UP. He was like hardcore desperate for a name so I finally just sighed and was like "Okay, fine, it's Violet" and then kind of just hustled away with my dad who then went on to talk to me after the con about how he didn't like that interaction and something about being on guard and safety and stuff like that, which are all things I already know but I was still grateful he was lecturing me about them and even more, that he was there and prepared to jump the guy if he tried something. I still kind of shudder when I think about it, though. I mean, obviously the situation could've been way worse but at the same time, it was a stressful experience that I really didn't enjoy having to go through. Listen, if you're at a convention and you see a cool cosplayer, respect some boundaries. Get a picture with them if you like but don't ask them for their real name because chances are they might not be comfortable giving that out. Instead, compliment their work and ask them if they have a cosplay page you can follow or something instead. That way, if they have a cosplay pseudonym they'd prefer to be known by in the cosplay community, they can give you that instead rather than you hounding them for their real name and trying to score. That's not okay and we don't like it regardless of how much spandex we do or do not have on our body. So to anyone reading this, let this be a lesson to you.
