It's been over a year since I last posted here. But this is one thing I just have to share.
This past weekend I went to Animazement and cosplayed, I won't say as what because I don't want anyone who didn't already know about what I was up to to go looking around to see what I'm talking about.
Anyhow while cosplaying I was taking a lot of photographs and wanted to take a group photo with some girls cosplaying as characters from the same show that I was. For some reason I kept getting this odd feeling that they were snubbing me each time I tried to approach or make eye contact they somehow conveniently turn away and so on. This was my day, luckily I spotted a different and larger group with a better cosplay who excitedly called me over for a group photo so they were the only group that got me.
Later on in the night as we got ready for Hell my friends and I arrived late and the line was long. While sitting down and waiting for the half hour to pass before the doors opened I was spotted by some other cosplayers who called me over to cut into the line announced oh so happily and loudly how they loved what I had done and what more how the character I was cosplaying was their favorite character.
Now take a big guess who they were about four people in front of, yep the group that had been snubbing me all evening. And I know they heard and they were not liking it at all because from the corner of my eye I could see them looking and a few rolled their eyes. Really these people had been just a few feet from them and hadn't said much to them if anything at all.
Inwardly this mean spirited side of me was just beaming with this vindictive joy declaring, "I win." What more it was just so fun to grab a seat at a very nice spot and reserve the rest for my friends.
That was one of my favorite moments. Others was being praised for my work by much better cosplayers with these amazing outfits that puts my efforts to shame. And getting some furry love for it as well. Another is leaving a prop room and getting ambushed by someone telling me that they ran downstairs from the balcony in hopes of catching me for a picture.
I'm telling you though I'm typing this I felt so humbled throughout everything that happened. Really seeing such detailed and advanced cosplayers compliment me I felt like some armature kid in comparison.
