If anyone knows me and Gabe, we both love going to comic cons and working on different cosplays. It can take months or even longer to work on some of these cosplays until they’re finished, so why do we do it? It’s our safe spaces, getting to dress in outfits from film, games, etc. that raised us over the years, but that’s not the only reason. I’ve always loved getting to meet characters at theme parks, and knowing how happy those moments made me pushes me to work on my cosplays even more. A few months ago, I dressed up as Captain Jack Sparrow at WDW to give out pirate coins to kids around the park, and seeing the joy on their faces made me so happy. Then, the other week Gabe called me after he debuted his ODST OC at ETSU Con, and told me the same thing, how awesome it was for your work to be appreciated, but also bring a smile to someone’s face. - Blake
