Oh hey it’s Silhouette Realm Cosplay! She’s awesome!
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.

Check out these Wonder Women I met at Convergence! I think the world is much safer with these ladies being around.
Happy 4th from Convergence! Hat courtesy of Signs of Crafting <3 and costume by my wifey, of course.
Whoa snap got my first bash on a cosplay on my own page instead of from some random place on the internet, damn, I must be makin’ it.#StartedFromTheBottomNowWereHere
Seriously though, I always find it bizarre when people feel the need to tell you what you are. “You’re obese.” No way, really? I had no idea I was extra large, thanks for the reminder? Though in all honesty if you’re here to tell me I’m fat and you’re following me just to do so then I’m sorry that you don’t have anything else to do during the day then to tell fat people that they’re fat. I mean next you’ll tell me I’m black *gasp*
I guess it was a bit clever with the whole “eating yourself to death” bit, but I’m wondering if people just get their insults from a book that was written before cosplay even existed, because stuff like that has been said about cute chubby folks for ages. I’ve been called my fair share of names before I bestowed my large body with a hoop skirt and dress so reminding me of my juicy bits isn’t news to me, or to anyone on this page who follows me, but again if you feel the urge to shout FAT then just keep preaching to the choir around you, I’ll just keep wearing whatever I want and having a good time.
Brichibi out. *mic drops from chubby hands*

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
Good morning to the morning folks of Tumblr. In case you missed it I have a new cosplay :)
Also how did this get so many notes so quickly it hasn’t even been 24 hours yet this is nuts!

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 :)
Wonder Woman is in progress and should be ready for our July conventions! Found a new wig yesterday at Halloween Express (it stays open year round and they have good quality wigs) and got the rest of the fabric, too. Super excited!
