With comic con season in full swing, the Food and Cosplay team have got together to discuss topics about how we wish to strive and better the cosplay community. One thing that we can all agree needs to be addressed is the level of respect shown to cosplayers. In today’s post, we are talking about what you shouldn’t say to a cosplayer.
-
Where is your prop?
Not everyone has the time, money or need to have all or any of the props for a costume! Only you can decide how much you want to put into your cosplay and how you want to wear it.
-
That’s the wrong colour
Whether you put your own spin on it or can’t quite get it exact, you’ve still done it to the best of your ability.
-
Did you buy that?
It doesn’t matter if you bought it or made it, you’re still showing your love for the character and that’s what really matters.
-
I don’t know this version?
Doesn’t make it any less valid if people don’t instantly recognise it, you know it!
-
That’s the wrong hairstyle for that character
Regardless if it a wig or natural hair, styling a hair to the exact style is hard, just like cosplay. It’s not a failing if they can’t get the exact same look.
Here is a video by AnyaPanda titled “5 Things Cosplayers Don’t Want to Hear” which covers some of the things we spoke and more.

I’ve always wanted to be Lara Croft because of how strong, confident, bold, and how fun she is as a character . My cosplay journey started back in 2016 when I was inspired to do a genderbend Lara Croft cosplay. I started learning how to make costumes out from scratch by watching others online make their cosplay from scratch from different material.
My Lara Croft cosplay has dramatically increased from starting off with using cardboard to build the classic backpack and holsters to knowing how to work with eva foam, hand paint, other materials to make the backpack, holsters, boots, other accessories! I also have found new and better ways to build my costume pieces compared to the more simplistic why I used tk start out. Also from the character perspective my poses and facial expressions has evolved as well I pose better as Lara Croft now and have more of a variety of poses now compared to when I first started
Cosplay has taught me that it’s okay to be myself and to love feeling like a badass in character. I used to get put down so much for simply being me and looking like me from my past and cosplay has shown me that I am awesome and I am good enough and I am not what happened to me in rhe past.
My definition of being successful in cosplay is when you actually start to realize you enjoy what you do. It’s not about the fame or followers count. It’s about feeling free and happiness and content with what you put out there and to inspire someone else to do the same thing you are doing? That speaks volumes! That to me is success! Cosplay shouldn’t feel like dreading work! It should feel like a fantasy world!

The time has come and you can book your slot with me. Please read the instructions carefully.
Please pick which day, and time slot and detail me the cosplay you’d like me to shoot.
Please only book with me if you know what cosplay you want to shoot with me. If you do not declare your cosplay, I will cancel the appointment
Pick a time that you can reasonably get to me. If on the day you are running late, I won’t be able to reschedule and you will forfeit your time slot as I do not want a knock-on effect of running late for my other appointments.
If you pick more than one slot, I can choose which cosplay I like to shoot. This isn’t a reflection on your cosplay but I want to give everyone a chance to shoot with me at least once over the weekend.
Last thing, I won’t be accepting any group shoots as they affect my anxiety and can cause stress on me.
Please note: I am not accepting any group shoots. I’ll consider a duo shoot.
Should there be slots available after the first round, I’ll allow people to book me up for a second slot.
If you miss out on a slot, do not worry, I’ll be at the event all three days so if you spot me, do come and stop me and we can get a quick photo together.
Good luck and hopefully I’ll see you at Comic-Con.

“I think you should have won” when taking or asking for a photo regarding a masquerade result, especially when the winner/people who placed higher are in earshot.
First off, if you absolutely must say this, don’t do it where the winner can hear! Imagine how they feel hearing that!
Secondly, even if I did agree – which 99% of the time I don’t because I’ve seen those cosplays up close (I’m usually amazed I’ve been placed at all frankly) – admitting that, especially in front of those people, makes me an asshole. It also belittles those cosplays and the work done on them just for the sake of artificially “elevating” mine. It’s happened a few times to me now, and it’s become a real bug bear of mine, please stop!
Just say “I really like your cosplay” and move on, you don’t need to comment on the placings to pander to me or something so you can get a photo.
