You are allowed to have a hot take about cosplay and post it online ONLY on days where you’ve done at least 4 hrs of work on your own personal cosplay and thus acutely remember the time, effort and expense involved. Resets at midnight every day. This is now LAW, article 6, subsection C, yadda yadda.

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

im trying to do more cosplay education but my problem is i hate every remaining social media platform. but also i spend too much time on reddit. so i am making a resolution to channel that productively into following cosplay help subreddits and answering questions. especially dumb ones.

I haven't played Neir so I don't know much about this character, but it fits the mood. This was taken when I worked at the Photosuite for Otakon.
From the Game NieR:Automata comes Simone / Beauvoir. This cosplayer did some awesome work!

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.
