Myself (cancerously) cosplaying Terezi Pyrope from Homestuck.

I’m not as large as some of the gorgeous ladies on here, but I certainly have my own issues with weight- I’m 150 lbs but I’m barely 5 feet tall, so it all relocates places I wish it wouldn’t. On top of that, I’ve got a fairly large ribcage (37-38 inches) and almost no torso, so I end up looking pudgy no matter what I do. As you can see in this shot (part of the reason I chose it) I’ve got a pretty prominent stomach; I couldn’t get a smooth line on my waist to save me. Back when I was new to cosplay, this tumblr actually helped me a lot in my inspiration to put my best foot forward and cosplay well. So thank you gals, so much, for showing me I don’t need to be afraid even if I am terminally chubby. ?

I’ve been cosplaying for a little over a year now, but for some reason it took me a while to gather up the courage to submit something here? Maybe it’s the difference between posting pictures to a personal cosplay blog and one that strangers follow!

Kazami Yuuka, from Touhou Project. This is actually the second Touhou cosplay I’ve done (the first was Yukari), and it’s a little intimidating cosplaying from a series with a huge (and significantly male!) fanbase, but that also means there’s plenty of people around who recognize and appreciate your cosplay!

It took a lot of courage for me to start cosplaying in the first place because of how I look, but now that I’ve started, I just can’t stop! So if you’re worried about your weight or something like that, I just say give it a shot—it’s really fun and rewarding, and I’ve never had anyone tell me that I’m too fat to cosplay. And if they did, who cares? I’m cosplaying for me, not for them.

I'm thinking about cosplaying the Pyro from TF2, and I plan on making the Rainblower, a type of flamethrower that they use. Do you have any advice and where I can get materials and stuff of that sort?
