So according to Gail Simone it’s Cosplay Appreciation Day! So here are some of my pics from this year. It’s been quite the year and we’ve gone to more cons than ever with our art, our books, and our costumes. It’s also been quite the year in spreading the message that cosplay is for everyone, and it’ll continue on into next year and years to come <3
Special thanks to my wifey (the Belle with the design on the front of the dress and pretty much the girl in every pic with me except for the group shot of Disney characters) for making these costumes and always being a supportive voice. Also thanks to all of the cool people I’ve met at all of these conventions and online through my cosplay page, I hope we all have just as much fun, or even more fun, next year. Thanks for all of the support in what I do, it means a lot to me :)
Also thanks to ilessthan3photography, Nude Carbon Studios, DWB Photography, Stray Things Photography and Cerulean Photography for the professional photos throughout the year :) And thanks to artists like asieybarbie and Timothy Lim for letting us use their work for our cosplay (asieybarbie for Neo Queen Serenity and Timothy Lim for the Five Nights at Freddy’s pizza box).
Also cosplay credits to the following people in the pictures above:
Queen of Hearts is Sweets4aSweet Cosplay
Belle (in the pic with the Queen of Hearts) is Pretty Lush Cosplay
Freddy Fazbear is Brad Duct-Tape Hale
My cosplay page is here and, as always, remember that to love your cosplay is to love yourself <3
GLORRRRRRRRRRRRRRY

She is everything.
YESSS !!! GET EM GIRL
Briiiiiii yay!
That “stop acting white” pisses me off. Keep doing what you’re doing, Ma’am.
Thanks for the love <3 Actually I wanted to reblog to answer that question, because I’ve gotten it a lot ever since I made that meme.
“Stop acting white” is something that pretty much implies that, as a black person, if you’re acting any way other than “ghetto” “trifling” “no good” then you’re “acting white.” Essentially, the assumption is that black means ignorant, so if you convey yourself in a way that’s not the stereotypical black image, you’re not acting like yourself, you’re not “really black” and you’re trying to “act white,” because apparently, having some sense is exclusive to white people, according to the people who say things like this.
The most annoying thing about this is that I’ve heard this from both white people AND black people. And it’s been said over the most ridiculous things, from the way I talk (you “sound white”) to the things I’m into, just… take your pick. As many insults as I’ve heard in my 31 years on this planet, “stop acting white” is the most irritating.
