me before arcane: “there sure are a lot of Jinx cosplayers!” me after arcane: *adds 4ft blue wig to shopping cart* #cosplayers #cosplayer #cosplay

what ren fairs do y’all go to? #cosplayers #cosplayer #cosplay

cosplay is a subculture. a defining characteristic of a subculture is its political values. without them, it’s just another aesthetic. if you don’t like our alignment, go bother a different community. #cosplay #cosplayer #cosmakers

today’s cosplay milestone: received my first sub! this proves anyone can be a cosplayer >1k and still get a lil support for your efforts

hit my first major cosplay goal for 2025: applying to host my first panel discussion!

“conventions aren’t cringe anymore” but neither are you 😔

wearing cosmetic contacts during water photoshoots is cool until they absorb chlorine, trap chemicals to your eye, scratch your cornea, and give an infection #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplayers

what exactly is “convention season”? doesn’t this entirely depend on what region you’re in? #cosplay #cosplays #cosplayer

i’m uncomfortable with all forms of family vlogging. just because it’s a cosplay family doesn’t make it any different. kids deserve to explore cosplay on their own terms, not as content. #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplayer

the truth about cosmetic contacts? unregulated = unsafe. most cheap lenses online aren’t FDA approved and have no safety regulation placed on them. these companies do not care about cosplayers they care about profit. #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplayers

cosplay affirmation: i’m allowed to prioritize comfort over character accuracy. #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplayers

cosplaying on a budget? felting might be your new best friend! #cosplay #cosplayer #cosmaker

“oh, those were those for fabric?” #cosplayer #cosplay #cosmaker

how is doki doki cosplay so inexpensive? a full price pair of boots costs the same as a fast fashion pair on clearance after watching all of these cosplaymaker’s cost breakdowns i don’t see how doki doki isn’t paying people pennies to make their cosplay pieces? #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaymakers

cosplayers! what kinds of foods do you like to see at cons? #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplaymakers

“showing restraint” won’t bring the Joann’s sales down to 75% off. those sales are long gone. liquidators don’t care about clearing out stores, they care about making a profit. that’s why they stop accepting gift cards, coupons, and discounts for teachers, seniors, and veterans #cosplaymakers

if you’re wondering why Joann’s went out of business, check your amazon purchase history. the amount of times i see the answer to “where did you get *insert crafting supply*” as Amazon i would have been able to put in a bid for Joann’s myself. #joanns #cosplay #cosplaymakers

i love your hatsune mikus but will someone please explain the leek? #cosplay #cosplayer #hatsunemiku

watch out for the new Joann’s Scam. if you see an online exclusive sale that’s too good to be true, be careful and double check the full URL. most Joann’s aren’t even offering online shipping anymore. #cosplay #cosplaymaker

please stop romanticizing not eating at cons. it’s not quirky, it’s not cute. you’re not nourished and struggling. #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaymakers

Joann’s Closure Timeline: After outbidding Gordon Brother’s, Great American outlined their plan to to keep most stores open until the end of May Shop while you still can.

Cosplay Affirmation: “I am ALWAYS allowed to say no to photos and I NEVER have to justify a reason.” #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplaymakers

cosplayers i’m going to hold your hand when i say this: if you call cosplayers unethical for sourcing cosplays from amazon but still have an amazon wishlist linked in your bio…you’re still supporting amazon. #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplaymakers

seasoned cosplayers, what’s something you wish you knew before you started cosplaying? #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplaymakers

i’m starting my wig collection and i’m deciding which system is better: a) a handful of nice stands made for transport b) a tangled pile of chaos #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplaymakers

sending love to all the artists at Katsucon! wishing you an even better day of sales tomorrow to make up for it :c #katsucon #cosplay #cosplayer

cosplayers, what’s your best budget friendly cosplay tip? #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplaymakers

“this cosplay will be comfortable…“ i say while it’s held together with safety pins, hot glue, and a dream. #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplaymakers

Stages of Making a Cosplay: 1. Inspiration 2. Hyperfixation 3. Regret 4. Acceptance 5. Wearing It Anyway #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplaymakers

genuine question for my cosplayers, where are we buying fabric now that Joann’s is going out of business? #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplaymakers

if you see someone’s wig off, snack in hand, phone in other, sitting on floor… they’re tired. ask for their photo later. #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplaymaker

“i’ll just finish it at the con—“ famous last words of a cosplayer who will spend the next three hours cramped in hotel room with glue gun and a dream. #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaymakers

i was trying to explain cosplay without it sounding like dress up. then i realized it really is just elaborate expensive dress up. #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplaymaker

hey cosplayers, i’m a cosplay convention coordinator in the east coast region and i’m looking to connect with Philly vendors for an upcoming cosplay ball! please say hi i’d love to talk! #cosplay #cosplayers #cosplaymakers

It was so much fun seeing all the cosplays at Adventure Aquarium today! 🪼 Having a Nintendo pop up be within reasonable roadtripping distance for once was very exciting 🫧 Fingers crossed #Nintendo will see the popularity of this event and host more in the region 🐚 #cosplay #animalcrossing

Philly Cosplayers! Is anyone else putting together an Animal Crossing cosplay for New Horizons Aquarium Tour at Adventure Aquarium this weekend? Adventure Aquarium wasn’t on the initial dates. After checking back frequently, I gave up. I ended up finding out from a billboard yesterday

cosplayers, if you could only attend one convention a year what would it be?

cosplayers, if you had a $500 budget what sewing machine would you buy for a beginner and why? i need help navigating which features will be helpful for a beginner vs confusing someone new to sewing machines. any advice appreciated! 🦖🪡
