I know there was a cosplay thread here once but it’s ancient history now, so I thought I’d start another one. I love cosplaying as different characters, both from pop culture and original characters. Here are some of my favorites. In no particular order: Denton Van Zan, Randall Flagg, Viking, Scientist (actually my college lab clothes lol) Planet Of the Apes Alpha Omega Battalion Soldier, generic evil mercenary, and Apocalyptic Outlaw.

I just got a call. The FBI said that they are watching you. So are the other alphabet agencies. I would try it out, but I do not have the funds. 😹😹😹😹

Aside from my profile, I haven't taken any pics lately. But I what I have are basically costumes haha. I have a bunch of clothes I don't wear out, but own cause I like to have em and try em on every so often, so that's kinda like cosplay eh?
I always considered going to a Ren fair just to wear my medieval stuff. I would be the king of Halloween on my block if there was a reason for me to participate in anything.
Where do you usually wear your stuff? Or you just do what I do and wear em around the home?

I wear some to play airsoft in, others to conventions but that’s been a long while, but mostly I just wear them around our property just to wear them.

Would wear as much of my gear as I can, not cause I was that scared for my life, but because I had no other time I could wear em. It was like being paid to wear a holloween costume

Nerdthenord, have you ever seen Steel Dawn with Patrick Swayze and cosplayed as him from that movie? It is a post apocalyptic movie with melee weapons more than guns.

Even Patrick couldn’t save that movie. That places me in another minority. I actually like it. Though it is no where near as good as Mad Max and The Road Warrior.

Where is the distinction between cosplayer and armor-enthusiast? I sometimes think the world would be a more interesting place if people were allowed to wear whatever they like without social stigma. Sure, you would end up with the odd staff meeting where someone is dressed in full furry and/or bondage gear, but...I forget my point. I really just want it to be okay to dress like a landsknecht, and openly wear a sword. I'd also like to see a return of dueling culture.

Sure, you would end up with the odd staff meeting where someone is dressed in full furry and/or bandage gear, but...I forget my point. I really just want it to be okay to dress like a landsknecht, and openly wear a sword. I'd also like to see a return of dueling culture. Yea man, word. I would love to wear a tunic, and only a tunic (in summer) with a sword. What's left of my friends would never hang out with me again though, and I could say good bye to women permenantly if I do that Some have enough charisma to pull it off, but not me. Walking around in full armour would be badass but cops would likely harass me at every corner.

I cosplayed as military for about a decade. Had fun. Made friends. Got arthritis. 0/5. Would do again lol.
In all seriousness though, I have cosplayed a few times. Most recently was a hunter from destiny. I don't have any of the pics sadly. But the costume was rather easy. Used an old GI issue wool blanket as a tattered cloak, modded a full head paintball helmet for a mask, and dremeled down some old motor cross gear for the armor. Looked pretty decent overall.
I've also done a Leon Kennedy RE:4 cosplay. Didn't look to bad (I look nothing like him except the hair maybe) and ended up having a lot of fun.
The missus cosplays when she gets the chance but she's Japanese so, her cosplaying is basically just using cheat codes.
