I need cosplay help. I want to cosplay as Jasper from Steven Universe, but everybody's telling me that I can't because I'm too skinny and because body paint will probably give me an allergic reaction (it's July, so I can't exactly wear a bodysuit…). People are trying to talk me out of it, and they're saying thing
s like, "Oh, why don't you just be Poison Ivy or something?" "Do you really have to cosplay?" "Put on your Zelda t-shirt and call it a day." "Just reuse your Gamora costume from Halloween!" (Yeah, that also covers my arms…) I've considered cosplaying as Sayaka Miki from Madoka Magica, but I'm thinking that Jasper would be a really interesting cosplay to do. Should I be Jasper? If so, how can I pull it off? Will Tumblr losers with no life get on my case about cosplaying a bigger character when I'm skinny (come on, she's a villain! It's not like I'm cosplaying a skinny Rose Quartz or anything!)?
My Gamora costume. Wow, you didn't even do the green face? You're no fun.
Everyone's arguments against my cosplay basically boil down to the fact that I can't cosplay a full-figured character because I'm thin. If that's the case, I can't cosplay as Raven because I'm not a half-demon.
