Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen 👁️
Had fun making this set for one of my favorite jjk characters! Made sure to stay in character for this one. The cosplay and the extended version is available where i post my other cosplays. Here’s a couple of my favorite pics from one of the cosplay sets I did🤞🏾Very pleased with how well it turned out <3
One thing about me is i’m going to be my authentic self regardless of the setting. I’m alternative and have always followed my own beat.
not too religious but i do go to church once in a while. Some appreciate my attire and styling while others (the older church ladies) give me disapproving stares sometimes. it doesn’t matter, i’m not coming to church for them.
Anyways I hope every of my peers here has a blessed week ahead, stay weird 🤘🏾
Looking for fellow weirdos and queers here! I’m from Nigeria and currently live in the DMV area. I do cosplays, write poems, and studied Cybersecurity and communications in college.
My favorite bands are evanescence, flyleaf, linkin park, 5 finger death punch, pierce the veil, and red hot chili peppers but i am open to anything that sounds good
One of my favorite cosplays i did this year!
I started cosplaying early this year and anytime i share my stuff to anime communities i always have men (especially black men) in my comments calling me manly. Also received a lot of transphobic remarks due to being a black woman with strong features. Anyways I am embracing my body and face and felt very beautiful while doing this photoshoot 🤍
earlier this year i took a break from creating for mental health reasons and because i lost my creative touch for some time. that and the online bullying i faced coupled with mysogynolr made it difficult to display my work without feeling insecure. I received many unsavory responses from mostly guys comparing me to a male and saying I didn’t look like a “real woman”. Even now I still get those remarks, but it is what it is. I’m no stranger to having my femininity questioned, but it did still hurt. I have accepted that I am not conventionally feminine and I am okay with my stronger features.
But last month I decided to breakaway from the inactivity and remind myself that I am a creative and I shouldn’t stop what I love doing just because some people can’t behave around a black woman. The cosplays in question were of Shadowheart from Baldur’s Gate 3 and Ada Wong from Resident Evil. I LARP’d irl and so many people loved my cosplay as i walked around the city with them on. It felt good having my work get appreciated in real life and it gave me the boost I needed to continue.
Earlier this year i took a hiatus from creating (both writing and cosplaying) because of personal life issues. It was also to restore my mental health because of the bullying and misogynoir I faced in certain anime communities. It really messed with my self esteem and I felt like I didn’t belong in the cosplay community. Even now that I returned I had some unsavory responses from (usually men) that I look like a trans woman while others said i look like a man crossdressing female characters.
I am no stranger to this behavior and having my femininity questioned. But now after the long break I took I am more renewed and believe it’s time to try again. I did 2 cosplays last month: Shadowheart from Baldur’s Gate 3 and Ada Wong from Resident Evil. It felt so fufilling planning, styling, and getting all the fine details perfect to make the magic come to life. It reminded me why I began cosplaying in the first place: to make fantasy into reality and dress up as my favorite characters. I really hope I can continue what I love and people enjoy it 🖤
Normally I have my doubts about ordering wigs online. I prefer to get them in person so I took a jump with this one. I am absolutely thrilled with how it looks.
I really like how natural and easy this wig feels, especially with the voluminous waves and bangs already styled. I don’t have to do anything except brush it out. Easy to wear and maintain :)!
Idk what it is but almost every time I see a post from a trans person here I see comments purposely misgendering the poster. Even when the poster isn’t trans some clown will blatantly argue about their gender just because they look masculine/feminine for a man/woman. Why are people so weird and intrusive about things that aren’t even their business?? Saw a post from 2 trans dudes this week alone and saw people saying “Oh that’s a woman!” “girl” “sis” “that isnt a man” etc are we REALLY doing this in the big 2026?
Oh this post and replies are getting downvoted, I was right to clock it. Hopefully the transphobes here grow up and become better people instead of feeling the need to be hateful.
I feel like black people, especially black females are hyper masculinized by default. I do see myself as not fitting perfectly into the gender binary, but i wouldn’t consider myself transgender. i am female from birth but ive had my femininity questioned since childhood.
Naturally, with little to no makeup and editing I have pretty strong features for a woman. I am nigerian and took after my dad in looks. Meanwhile my older sister took after my mom and was always the pretty one. I had a tomboy/alt style growing up which didn’t really help but now as an adult i’ve leaned into a more feminine look.
But despite that I’ve been called a trans woman (in a negative way) and straight up a man multiple times, especially online. Even with guys (it’s ALWAYS guys for some reason) calling me the male version of the cosplays I do (had more than 1 guy call me Mr Wong on my ada cosplay) etc.
It makes me feel very insecure about my looks. I know this isn’t an uncommon experience for black women/fems but it fvcking sucks how this is a thing and beauty standards only recognize lightskin/white people with eurocentric features.
I’ve seen this once in a while and i still don’t understand what this means. I will see “free” under users despite them being listed as paid members. Does this mean that they canceled or is it a glitch?
I had a lot of fun cosplaying default shadowheart and wanted to know what other bg3 character would work for my overall look (preferably a female character).
or if i should just do another version of shadowheart (some said selunite sh would suit my skin tone because of the contrast and i can kinda see the vision). I know she has a lot of different mods and outfits so she’s one of those characters where you can do multiple cosplays of. I normally only consider one cos per fanbase but the dnd/bg3 fandom has been so heartwarming to be a part of that i want to contribute more. as it is i think the next one will be redeemed shadowheart but im open to other suggestions 🖤
edit: After breezing through the replies and searching up some characters i am set on doing selune sh or another cleric. reminder that im still a new intermediate cosplayer and not a pro yet so certain characters will be hard to emulate for me. I do believe though that as time passes and i cosplay more i will get better and try more complex character designs!
Always wanted to cosplay her and now it’s finally happened, blessed be 🧝🏽♀️✨
So I dressed up as shadowheart for a convention and wanted to nerd out here to spot any bg3 fans.
Still sort of new to the fandom, i’ve heard about this game for a while and did my research on the lore (I always have to know more about a franchise before engaging with it’s base and the game/show itself). My friends who’ve played the game say i embody her in a way personality wise so i gave it a go. I do other cosplays if this one interests you. I hope i did the elf princess some justice 🖤
I remember growing up as a kid I would LARP (back when it meant something else than the new tiktok buzzword for being a poser lmao) as my favorite cartoon and video game characters. Back then cosplaying wasn’t really cool, neither was being a weeb (it was called an otaku back then). So people thought i was lame and i should get a life LMAO. yeah so i kept these interests to myself and didn’t care about being a nerd.
Now that cosplay and LARPing has become more popular it makes childhood me feel overjoyed that there’s others out there living their fantasies like me. At first doing this in public or online made me hesitate because 90% of cosplayers don’t look like me, black cosplayers aren‘t common and as a teen i felt like maybe it wasn’t for us. It felt like a lot of things weren’t for us and i was soo nervous. When i finally took the jump to start making my own stuff and cosplay it was rough because i would get the most racist comments and hostility from fandoms. I took a mental health break and decided to try again.
So i went to a convention recently and dressed up as Shadowheart from baldur’s gate 3! Meeting other cosplayers and being asked for pictures, getting compliments on my costumes, etc felt SO amazing and healing. I’m just glad to be a part of something bigger and having an outlet for my creativity.
One of the pics of my shadowheart cosplay. I had a blast bringing the elf princess to life. I do other cosplays as well if this one interests you. I hope I did her character some justice 🗡️
So yesterday i posted here for the first time with a photo of my shadowheart cosplay (which the complete cosplay is available now) and i was blown away from all of the loving people here and their well wishes and support. normally I receive some racial comments whenever I do post my work online but this is one of very few that I’ve participated in where I felt equal and welcomed. The mods were also swift with removing the few…unsavory ones yesterday, much appreciation to the team for that.
Shadowheart is a complex character, struggling between two parts of her: the grief and pain and the love of life and wonder, of nature, and compassion despite the odds and the suffering she’s been through… she never lost that soft part of herself (well depending on what ending you chose, but I digress). i resonate with her perseverance despite life’s situations. Of having to be strong despite wanting to be soft. of fighting between loyalty and your own desires. I’m not really here to ramble just wanted to show my gratitude for the warm support from yesterday.
Until next time,
chello x

edit: tysm for the positive feedback everyone, trying to get back into the cosplay game and this has been quite the experience. i feel very welcomed here <3
