((please do all of the cosplayer questions i'm so curious))
Phew, that is a lot! ^^” But thank you for the interest, you are a doll.
1: What was your first cosplay?
Irene Adler from Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia (badly done tbh).
2: Favorite thing to cosplay?
Harley Quinn and Star Wars villains/antiheroes. Complex characters in general, especially ones that require some acting.
3: Have you ever been in a panel at a convention?
I wish!
4: How many people do you think you met because of cosplaying?
Pretty much everyone I know and, like, all of my friends except one or two.
5: What do you think makes a ‘good cosplay’?
Passion for the character and the costume. Attention to detail. Spending time on it because that is how you really get into it. Not being an asshole to people around you, especially less experienced or poor cosplayers.
6: Have a cosplay blog?
Your standing in it, ha.
7: Ever done a group cosplay?
Yes! You can find them in my *group cosplay tag.
8: Couple’s cosplay?
With @agent-without-ok-days​. 💖 Most things in my *ship cosplay tag.
9: When did you start cosplaying?
2011. But dressing up has always been one of my favourite things to do.
10: Would you consider yourself good at cosplaying?
I have grown a lot as a cosplayer & costume maker and at this point, I would say: yes, I’m good at it.
11: Which cosplay took you the longest time to make?
The Winter Soldier.
12: Shortest time to make?
The first 24-hour-version of Endor!Leia that I am currently remaking.
13: Do you like Genderbent/AU cosplays?
Depends. I like genderfluid cosplays, where it’s like … basically you just don’t bind and maybe change a few things, but you don’t make it sexy to make it feminine or change from pants to a skirt or put boobplates on things. I think cosplay always also should be about feeling comfortable and if you don’t like to “crossdress” then you shouldn’t have to. There are also more overtly genderbent cosplays that are fine because they show creativity and the ability to adapt things and reinterpret them. I don’t like the term genderbent because it’s pretty cissexist, and I genuinely do like to think of gendebents as basically trans headcanons? So within that realm I like them, I just don’t like the often transphobic and misogynist connotations that a lot of genderbent versions carry. So it really depends on the cosplayer and I personally do them rarely.
With alternate universes it also depends. On the one hand, it gives you a lot of freedom to make up your own stuff. On the other, you usually have to work harder to make sure your costume is still recognizable as the character you’re portraying. The general rule of thumb is that if I like the AU, I probably also like the AU cosplay. I mostly enjoy to make them though with characters that are very recognizable due to certain tropes & symbols, and characters that already exist in many versions in canon.
14: List all of your cosplays.
That is a pretty long list. I’m gonna put a link if you really wanna read it.
15: Are you currently working on something?
I finished Harley (except that I still come up with stupid trinkets to add), so now I am only working on Leia! After that I will start on Revan, I hope.
16: Would you, if given the chance, cosplay at school/work?
Eeeeeeh, tough question. I don’t think so, since I like to keep my work and private life seperate and cosplay is pretty private to me. My colleagues know about it and I’ve shown them a few pictures, but arriving at work in full cosplay is a whole different deal.
17: Do any of your IRL friends cosplay?
Most of them either do or did.
18: What does your family think of it?
I hope that at this point they are quite positive about it. My mum seems to understand it is basically the equivalent of me dressing up as a kid and that it’s harmless and fun and a good outlet for me. I know my brother once accused me of losing my grip on reality, but I explained it to him and I suppose he understands now? In general it’s one of those things they just take as me being a weird person with weird hobbies and that’s okay because it’s true tbh.
19: Do you consider cosplay an art?
Definitely!!
20: Have you ever had to get help with a cosplay?
I use all kinds of tutorials and often ask my cosplayer friends for advice. They have also helped me before with cutting my wigs, doing my make-up and other stuff I’m not so great at. I have received a lot of help especially from @agent-without-ok-days​ and @mimicrysquid​, who are both incredibly talented and sweet.
21: Least favorite thing to cosplay?
I don’t understand this question. If I don’t like it, I don’t cosplay it.
22: Ever been in a cosplay contest?
I’m too self-conscious and I often lack the time to enter, but I really would like to.
23: First con that you cosplayed at?
Sherlocon 2011.
24: What’s your definition of ‘cosplay’?
Asdjhjsdfghfjdf, god, wow, that is? Really hard?? Uuuuuhhhh … if I have to explain it to others, I usually say something like “It’s where you dress up as characters from media and then take pictures together and maybe act out small scenes and basically just have a good time together”. As for what it means for me personally, I think it is the perfect combination of crafts and performance art; it’s a great creative outlet and a way to meet like-minded people, and what I like about it most that others interact directly with your art. You’re not on a stage or uploading music to the internet or putting a picture in a museum. You get to carry something special into a mundane, everyday setting and people get to experience it first-hand and it just makes normal events a bit more extraordinary.
25: Favorite tumblr cosplay ask blog?
I like @cosplay-refs​ quite a lot.
26: Ever cosplay an inanimate object?
I don’t think I have, but I would if the option presented itself and I had a good idea.
27: Who is your cosplay headcanon of your favorite character?
That would have to mean I have a singular favourite character and a singular headcanon about them, which I don’t. 
28: What is your ‘Cosplay First Aid Kit’ (what you use to repair a cosplay)?
A small sewing kit (thread, needles, scissors), different types of glue and tape, samples of the paint I used for the costume, replacement buttons/sequins/whatever is stuck on there, stain remover. I usually forget something important though.
29: Would you go pro?
I don’t think that is a reasonable option with my bad health (and lack of fame).
30: Who is your favorite professional cosplayer?
I’m not sure if any of the cosplayers I like are “professional”, and I am not a big fan of most of the really huge names in the community (you know, like the ones on that cosplay TV show). But here’s some more or less influential faves that I follow on Facebook:
Jay Justice
Karin Olava
Katie Starr
Wheels of Steel
Joker’s Harley/Harley’s Joker
Don’ttouchmymilk
Cissy Cosplay
Howling Commandos Cosplay
Lady Haha

Oona Sura
Rian Synnth
Lucy Saxon
