Ever Have One of These Moments When Making Cosplay?

  • ElfGrove: [stares at pinned pleats in skirt] Mmmgh...
  • ElfGrove: Xaynie?
  • Xaynie: ...What?
  • ElfGrove: The skirt?
  • Xaynie: ...It looks good. Is there something wrong with it I'm supposed to be seeing?
  • ElfGrove: No... I don't think so. I just needed confirmation that it looked okay.
  • Xaynie: It looks great! I thought there was something wrong with it I couldn't see!
  • ElfGrove: No, no! I just needed a second opinion that this works.

While in my Jack Frost Cosplay

  • Girl in Bathroom: *attempts to wash her hands but nothing comes out of the faucet*
  • Girl in Bathroom: *to me* Is this faucet broken?
  • Me in Jack Frost Cosplay: Sorry...I froze it...
  • Girl in Bathroom: *chuckles* No wonder you are on the naughty list!!
If you don’t like what I’m wearing because I don’t fit into your “ideal” image of a body type, then you’re the one with the problem. Not me.

what a terribly inappropriate thing to post on a cosplay blog

Actually, I believe it is terribly appropriate post for a cosplay blog. Cosplay, costume play, is all about having fun while in costume.

Cosplay blogs that deride people for their body type go against the spirit that we encourage here at Project Cosplay.

If you are having fun, no one should give you a hard time about your costume choice, because evidently the person complaining about having the “wrong body type” is the one that has an issue with your body, not you. Your body type is perfect for whatever you feel comfortable wearing. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, and it is no one’s right to judge them but themselves.

Moments in Cosplay

  • Co-Worker: So what did you do this weekend?
  • ElfGrove: Made guns.
  • Co-Worker: See any movies-- "Made?" You mean out of cardboard or something, right?
  • ElfGrove: More or less.
  • Co-Worker: I've only shot a real gun once in my life.
  • ElfGrove: Then you're ahead of me by one. I never have.

Moments in Cosplay

  • Jru(Shinra): Oh, your shoes look great.
  • ElfGrove(Shizuo): Thanks! I got this shoe buffer thing. It's pretty quick to use and makes it look a bit better. Shizuo is a pretty neat-dressed fellow. I mean, he'd freak if someone dirtied the uniform his brother gave him.
  • Jru(Shinra): True!
  • ElfGrove(Shizuo): Put your feet up. I'll get your shoes while I'm at it. [pause] Izaya, do you have your shoes on yet? [looks] No. Where are they? Gimme your shoes.
  • Tara(Izaya): Wait. Why do you want my shoes!?
  • ElfGrove(Shizuo): Just shining them real quick. Hand 'em over. Celty, you get over here too!
  • Xaynie(Celty): Are you going to buff my entire suit? Look at all these men, kneeling in the floor to serve me.
  • ElfGrove(Shizuo): Don't push it, woman.
  • Xaynie(Celty): I can't help it if I've got three guys following me around everywhere!

Moments in Cosplay

Xaynie: I think you would make a great Isara. She’s cute, and I do like her outfit.
Lexx: What’s that thing attached to her neck?
Jru: Old school iPad. jkjk, no idea. xPPP
ElfGrove: It’s totally an Etch-A-Sketch. >:D
Xaynie: It’s a map, lol.
ElfGrove: Boo. My interpretation is 10x more awesome.

Nooooooooo!!! out of hot glue!!! that’s my life source!!! dammm!

Project Cosplay

A general cosplay blog of tips, works in progress, memorable quotes and cosplay moments from your mods (Xaynie & Elfgrove) and our cosplaying cohorts.


Unlike the dozen other blogs already highlighting the photos of beautiful finished cosplays that are out there already, this blog is about the behind-the-scenes aspect of the hobby. The process that makes it happen and the little moments that make it all worthwhile.
