The height different between me and my friend here despite how well we suit our individual characters is so funny. I love the storytelling we made though omg

Some good rules to go along with banning bringing a bow and freakin' arrow to Fanfest

Prop and Weapon Replica Guidelines
- Rods and staves must be non-functional and unable to cast destructive magicks.
- Monk cosplayers must have their fists inspected, approved, and marked daily. Event staff reserves the right to confiscate your fists if your skills are too great.
- Dark Knight cosplayers wishing to bring along their Living Shadow must purchase a separate ticket for Fray.
- If you bring a paintbrush, you may not bring aetherially infused paints capable of using pictomancy.
- Souls will be inspected to ensure you are not bringing in any voidsent avatars.
- Bows should have no string or be loosely strung and unable to fire arrows.
- Prop books must not be grimoires capable of summoning egis and must not contain arcane geometries.
- If you plan on performing a dance while in costume at the event, event staff must inspect, approve, and mark your dance to ensure that it will not deliver an attack with a potency of 850 for the first attendee, and 60% less for all remaining attendees.

Okay how many of y'all have been around long enough to remember my Bunny Selch cosplay? I made this with scrap fabric in one afternoon and I think it became my most iconic look lol
