Aizawa or Legzawa as I’ve been calling him was an idea I had while sleep deprived on the way back from a long trip, and It ended up being one of my absolute favorite joke cosplays. I usually cosplay must more feminine characters because that’s what I feel most confident and beautiful in, but every now and then there’s a weird outlier like my Aizawa that I just have so much fun wearing because it makes the people around me laugh and happy.
I don’t think there’s anything very deep to that, I just like seeing my friends and other people in my community having fun, and it feels really good getting to be a source for that feeling when I can. It’s also just a good break for myself sometimes because even if I’m not feeling the best about how I look at some points I never worry about that in Aizawa because it is 100% just for the fun of it.
My first convention ever, and definitely one of my first cosplays, I’m going to try to make as much art as possible for next year so I could possibly have a booth next year, maybe not TCC.
Overall a wonderful experience and if you saw me, hope to see you next year!
