Thank you 😎 and oh I've definitely got a few more things in mind! Gotta start properly planning my Maya cosplay now 📋

Your reaction just made me so much more hyped about it! 😁😁

Thank you!!!! I'm really excited to show her the cosplay in-person 🥰

So happy for you 🥹

I know! I just got so excited, I had to get the stuff now 😅

It's so comfy on as well!!!! Just gotta wait for my labcoat and badges to arrive and then the cosplay will be complete...like 6 months before the event 😂

Oh please do! Would love to chat to you in-person and I'll definitely be easy to spot 😂

Aww thank you! I'm really excited for it and I love adding little bits to my cosplay to make it feel custom to me and things like that just really add to it for me ☺️

Carina it has to be scrubs and a labcoat, but I'm going to wear a little bit pin and a lasagna badge with it! For Maya I'm going to do the wildfire outfit and then get a badge with "Seattle fire queers" on it 🥰

I'm just very excited to cosplay again and I'm hoping Stefania likes it (and hopefully Danielle if she gets announced)!

I am back in May but I am not going to recreate the pose. I'm not sure what yet, but I am going to cosplay as Carina for the first day and Maya the next so I'm going to let Stefania decide on the post I think 😅

Definitely one of my favourite poses I've done for sure! 😎

And then I remember that I'm seeing her again in May and have to come up with new ideas 😅😬

Exactly! I hope one day we get there and erase the shame that was forced into us. Small steps in healing are so important and I'm proud of us for getting to this point 💜

Yes exactly! Being vocal about my interests growing up always brought this shame and ridicule. No one quite seemed to get it. I'm unlearning the shame and it's not easy, but going to cons and letting myself feel excited is so healing. I'm so glad I started to let myself enjoy the things I wanted to

I love this so much! I think growing up I always felt a cloud of shame over my interests and I didn't have the money to do the things I wanted to. I think doing all of the conventions I can does help the younger version of yourself, and I think that's such a wonderful way of healing 🥹💜
