and this is why we cosplay
Yes yes yes so much yes!
Story time!
I was at ACEN this last year walking over to where the Kalafina concert was going to be. I was in my Princess Tiana cosplay. I had just crossed the street and was heading to the building when I heard a woman from her car going, “Hey! Are you Tiana?!”
I was kinda surprised because I was outside and not at the con, and it was this woman in her car waiting for the light to turn green. So I was like, “Y-yeah…”
She got the biggest smile on her face and pulled out her phone and said, “Can I get your picture?!” And she snapped a picture just as the light was turning green, said a quick thank you, and drove off.
It’s really great to cosplay and give people outside of cosplay that kind of moment :)
