Now that I'm finally working my way through the books I've mentioned to a couple friends that I think it would be fun to do a Locked Tomb cosplay, and they have in turn immediately looked at me and gone "Ah, yeah, you would make a great Palamedes"

And like they're not wrong, I am a generic nerdy-looking guy with glasses already equipped and definitively built more like a necromancer than a cavalier (alas), and they're also not wrong in assuming he's one of the characters I like enough to consider, because of course I do

But

As much as my dysphoria often dictates my cosplay choices, I also have what I am pretty sure is an unhealthy dose of plain old dysmorphia over being so small and scrawny and generally frail-looking, and also am really on a roll with my emotions about characters who are So Incredibly Mentally Ill lately, so there's a part of me that's actually like. Listen. What if..... Harrow.

Much to consider.

#that said the fact that i am apparently consistently Assigned Palamedes in all my friends brains is genuinely very funny #i feel like it's a series where having one really recognizable costume to break out and one that's less so could be ideal too #which makes the 'why not both?' route sort of tempting #anyways some of this may be because i am uhhhhhh currently in the middle of reading harrow while my own brain is. well [gestures]#which i think is doing something weird to me on a molecular level #but i do think if i was ever going to consider doing something weird with gender for cosplay harrow would be the ideal route
