holy shit i was looking through pax east 2014 photo archives feeling nostalgic and got jumpscared by a pic of myself cosplaying akali when i was 15 wtf
sometimes i get imposter syndrome but then i remember marvel hit me up to be the official cosplayer for their thick thighed character and i made the cosplay, by myself in a week, with no prior sewing or armor experience. like i don't even own a sewing machine. maybe i'm goated
getting a lot of "this is why we should gatekeep" comments on my pokémon tweets to which i'll say:
1) it's one of the biggest franchises of all time
2) i've been playing pokemon since before a lot of you were born
3) i was the youngest vgc competitor in 2006 at 8 years old
