Mope.

I hate it when I see cosplayers who are so awesome, I want to slit my wrists quit cosplaying, especially when I cosplay the same character! I mean, they're fabulous, and I wish I could be like them, but I know that I NEVER WILL BE. Even if I stole the clothes off their backs (and the wigs off their heads), I wouldn't look as good. Okay, there are some things that work well for me, but to be honest? I don't like them all that much. Yeah, cosplay's supposed to be fun, but.... I mean, it took me six years to get recognition for one costume.... I'm never gonna be "that amazing _______" because I'll never be taken seriously. It's a real shame, too, because given the proper chance to get in character, I won't break.

"Who cares if you don't look like the character? If you love the character, go for it!" "The important thing is that you have fun!" "Try to figure out a gimmick that'll make people remember you." "Being in character and acting the part is important!" "There's no such thing as a 'better' cosplay, just different ones." etc., etc. How many times have I said those things? To other people? To myself? You know who says (and believes) that shit? People who don't look a thing like the characters they're supposed to be, that's who.

I would love to do a for-realsies photoshoot, not the stupid gathering shit at cons. ;-;

WTF I can't even be good at a hobby. On the bright side, I'll never be one of those snobby cosplayers. That's good, I guess? ... This is not a good way to start the Weekend of Doom. ._.;

Ironic choice of icon is ironic.
