SUBMISSION
I approve of this so hard, wow.
One time my wifey shared my Wonder Woman dress on Lynda Carter’s Facebook (yesterday, it was JUST YESTERDAY) and Lynda Carter responded and said she loved it.
May have freaked out a lot a little.
May have cried a bunch a little.
Seriously, how awesome is this?
So my wifey sent me a link to a meme generator and things happened. Because, you know, I always speak on cosplay and positivity and loving yourself, but those ramblings get long, so here’s some quick memes to keep you going in cosplay and, well, anything you need them for :) Share them, save them, print them out and put them by your fabric as a reminder that you’re awesome and should be having fun instead of stressing about someone’s opinion <3
The Wonder Woman meme is pretty much my feelings on cosplay. Have fun, be whatever you want, love yourself, the end :)
The Tiana meme is pretty much my feelings on fat bashing and this idea that, somehow, a fat person’s existence glorifies obesity. This is a ridiculous notion. You can’t say that a fat person is lazy and useless and needs to go out and do something, then when that person does go out and does something you shoot them down. Me being in this world is about me enjoying my life, period. My weight is simply that: my weight, but there’s more to me then that, and honestly, if you choose (yes, choose, because your opinions are a choice) to be bothered my a woman who has some rolls and flabby arms then I feel sorry for you, because there is so much more to this life than one fat lady in a costume.
[Image Description: In the picture is a black woman wearing an original design she made based off of the character, Wonder Woman. The costume was made by her partner. The top is red with the Wonder Woman logo on it while the skirt is blue with stars on it.]MY ORIGINAL DESIGN WONDER WOMAN IS DONE! Designed by me and created by my wifey. And somehow I got a little red dress out of it, too. The entire costume (wig and all) will premiere on 4th of July at CONvergence, I am so excited!
The only thing missing is the yellow piece but I really like this better. Man the wifey knows best <3
Edit: My cosplay page is here. I’ll have more pictures there <3 Also, here’s a blog post on how the dress was made courtesy of my wifey :)
That moment when a page you watch reblogs your work so you scroll through Tumblr and suddenly see yourself. Also 7000+ notes what the holy bananas?!
So I love walking around conventions with my wifey just so I can embarrass her fangirl over her existence and be like, “THIS IS THE ONE WHO MAKES OUR COSPLAYS SHE IS THE WIFEY I SPEAK OF!”
Seriously though, she’s so awesome and pretty and talented and amazing and she deserves all the love in the world. Go and follow her here!
Also, as a side bonus, I got the Wonder Woman hat from a good friend who surprised me with it at Convergence. You can follow her here.
slowly, green screen photos emerge from Cosplay Photoshoot 2-Convergence style @brichibi
This was such a great shoot I can’t wait to see the rest of the pics!
Person: Fat people are just lazy, they need to get out and do something.
Fat Person: *gets out and does all of the things*
Person: Ugh you’re so fat you need to stay inside so we don’t have to see this shit.
Fat Person: ………..
See. This. This is why it’s not worth stressing about.
So you know the drill, smile on the count of three: 1… 2… 3!
I have a lot of messages to catch up on and pictures to post while I recover from Convergence, which was ridiculously fun :) But before I do I wanted to share a message.
A lot of people over the weekend loved my cosplay, but something else that was neat was hearing people say that they’re happy that I’m out here cosplaying. That’s so great and means the world to me. I mean I know I speak the cosplay words of go out and have fun, and I truly mean that, and I know that when I get hate on I always have a positive outlook and try comment on how foolish it is to waste your energy on bullying someone, and I mean that as well.
But here’s the honest truth.
Words can, and do, hurt, and no matter how strong you are there’s a moment where you feel a pain in your heart when someone takes time out to try and hurt you. Or maybe it really doesn’t bother you, but there was probably a time when it did. We’re human and we feel things, and when I get hate there’s a moment of sadness, exhaustion, and just this voice of doubt. It goes away when I remember the positive or hear the positive, it’s a reminder of, “Hey, you’re great.”
So besides the whole being here because I want to be, I’m also here because your encouragement keeps me going, and because if someone needs to hear that, “You’re great,” I would be more than happy to say it.
We’re here together, never forget that.
