Thank you everyone for all the appreciation for our cosplays of Hiro and Tadashi! Our photos are under this tag: [✖]
The response has been overwhelming! Even the queries as to whether the two of us are 3D renders, and other bewildered reactions gave us warm marshmallow feelings. Let us assure you that we are quite human and real! (^~^;)ゞ
It usually takes me a while to answer, but my inbox is open if you have questions. I respond faster to non-anons because the answers can be sent privately for less clutter. Big bro, on the other hand, hasn’t posted anything on his Tumblr yet, hasn’t activated his inbox, and wants me to update his blog for him. Pffft.
We’re working on producing more Hamada brothers photos because we were intensely inspired by Big Hero 6 (both artistically and emotionally) and have so many other ideas we haven’t been able to execute yet. We hope you’ll stick around for more! These characters mean a lot to us, so we’re very grateful for all the appreciation!
Friend? Don’t you mean love interest? Or is that just us who has that kind of relationship? Seriously, my wifey and I wrote fanfic together, if that isn’t love I don’t know what is. I mean doesn’t every couple sit in the same room with their Chromebooks and share doujinshi they find online?
So I don’t think I’ve posted about this on my Tumblr yet, but a few weeks ago I was told that my cosplay presentation idea for the “Body Love Conference” made it through round one! Round two was to make a video that pretty much goes into what your presentation is, why its important, and things like that. If the video makes it through, then I get to go to the conference :)
I decided that on top of telling, I would show why it would be important. So my partner and I made this shirt, which is just a handful of comments I’ve gotten this year alone about my cosplay. This isn’t everything, because everything wouldn’t fit on the front of the shirt. How sad is that? Cosplay is supposed to be fun, right? We’re dressing up as fictional characters, who are these people who have time to say such harsh things to someone they don’t even know?
But I’m not the only one this happens to. I’m sure everyone has a story where someone said something out of line to them, whether they were cosplaying or not. And, oddly enough, that creates an understanding, a bond, between us. And through the negativity it shows why positivity is so important. It shows why your happiness and your opinion of yourself is what matters. You can’t go off of someone else’s blind judgment. You can’t let these words keep you down, I say “keep” because, honestly, they will hurt and I will never deny that part, because it’s important to be honest with your feelings. Being called these names does hurt and they will make you pause in your steps. They made me pause, but they didn’t make me completely stop. They never will. Why should they?
I know the truth about myself. I’m a writer. I’m a cosplayer. I’m an artist. I have a loving partner, great friends and family. Why is one “fat slob” comment going to stop me from living the life I want to live?
Your clothes are cute. But would be so much cuter on a size 4. :( I wish you would stop perpetuating the delusion that you look as cute as a thin girl in a crop top. You can't possibly believe that.
I think you don’t understand that I don’t put myself into direct competition with other women? I’m honestly sorry that you’re not that self aware yet.
Also thanks for sending this on my birthday, dude.

Yes, just, I mean…. that, all of that. We don’t all look at each other and think, “Damn wish that were me,” just… that’s not a thing that happens and people need to stop assuming that we do?
Happy birthday, sweetie, you’re fabulous <3
hello... I'm stumbling into your blog and just want to say that you're super-adorable and I love your cosplays! Have a nice day!
This is the story of a geeky anime/gaming gal by the name of Chibi. Please fasten your seat belts and prepare for... some sort of ride? Oh! I love to write, and I also love doing crafty things. I go to conventions with my partner and sell woodburned things, clocks, mirrors, and more! So expect to see those on here too :)
