Cosplay is one of my hobbies that i really only practice for convention activities, not really all the time like some or most. I have cosplayed a few times before, this would be my third time doing an actual proper cosplay and going to a convention. As much as my social anxiety has gotten better, i still feel uncomfortable with the idea of going out in cosplay It's a completely normal hobby, but it still feels like a humiliation ritual, ESPECIALLY with most likely having to actually hang out outside the safety of the convention center. My partner and our mutual friends will probably wanna go get food right after we leave the con and that means going out in cosplay. All the previous years i have just taken the taxi to preserve atleast some dignity, but those years i've been pretty much solo and haven't had to cater to the ever changing whims of my partner (this is the worst planner i know who is also incredibly indecisive, so i am in hell)
What adds to this feeling of impending doom is the character i have picked, y'all can definitely guess already, it's obviously gonna be tomura, c'mon. Now, if i was cosplaying idk someone like master chief or something that's like mainstream acceptable character that isn't really deemed as cringe, i would be alright (i'm framing this like i'm gonna get killed lmao, no i'm just anxious) But there's two big reasons for this: 1 "anime = cringe", 2 "mha = nuclear bomb levels of cringe"
I'm gonna have to summon the mental fortitude of a navy seal to just make it through the day and the self restraint of a saint to not knock some highschooler's teeth out when i inevitably hear some form of mockery.
Social stuff aside, i'm gonna die of heatstroke. It's summer, summers used to be alright when i was a kid, it was sometimes quite hot, but usually just nice and warm. Now? I'm sweating my balls off 24/7, my water bill is gonna skyrocket, because of the amount of cold showers i'm gonna have to take. But what does my cosplay look like? It's all black and so modest that it would make a nun jealous. I was gonna include the coat in it too, but bro idk if i should value my life a bit more. How am i supposed to survive this???? Well definitely by ditching the coat first, even if it means losing major aura points :((
But regardless of how miserable it could be, it could also be very fun and i'm just gonna have to gamble and hope. I have successfully shiny hunted before and that was like 1 in 1000, so i think my odds are gonna be fine at like 50/50 :D
