★What is the worst thing about cosplay?
... Three worst things:
1) THE FU*KING COST. MY GOD.
2) All of the people who BASH others
3) All of the somewhat unwanted attention... but that only bothers me at times.
★Why do you cosplay?
Why do I cosplay? ... It started as just something to keep me busy, but then I started to really love it. I cosplay because it's something that makes me, personally, really, really happy. It gives me a sense of acomplishment, and brings me closer to my bestest friends.
