5 Tips for Underage Cosplayers | Cosplay Tips

Показать описание

I have been cosplaying for 10 years and for a good part of that time I was under the age of 18. So through my teenage and adult cosplaying experiences I learnt quite a few things. So here are some tips based on my experiences.

Fun fact: the thumbnail photo is from when I was 17 years old!

"Tips for underage cosplayers"

Having an "uninterested adult" (read, uninterested in the convention not uninterested in your care) is the best kind of chaperone. They won't be distracted by the costumes and the glamour and the amazing convention-ness that is a convention; they'll be able to see the threats coming long before you will.

Me, now 17 who hasn't grown since middle school: Damn really

0:53 This is EXACTLY what happened to me last year LOL. I was 14 and my grandma worked SO hard on a dress for my Alice in Wonderland cosplay!! Puberty had other plans 😭💀

A lot of excellent advice, not just for underage coplayers, but for everyone.

Also, try closet cosplay! It’s basically just finding random clothes around your house with your cosplay wig!

Tip you are legally aloud to carry around hair spray and it has the same affects as pepper spay, if you are going to a place that you may or may not be put into an uncomfortable position go to a store and get a mini hair spray. Its not expensive and it could save you from a not so good situation. Stay safe and have fun!❤
Edit: Someone has brought to my attention I forgot to mention if you are thinking of using self defence methods and or items you always have to consider further consequences, and think about ways you can avoid the situation altogether or find non violent ways to deal with the problem.

I remember this thing my friend told me about her first convention, she was about 13 and she was cosplaying as Uraraka from MHA, and then this 15-16 year old dude dressed as Dabi (I think) started hiting on her. It made her uncomfortable but the dude didn't back off, she said that some older cosplayer came to her rescue and got the other dude to go away

I hope this pandemic ends soon. I’ve never been to a con before and I really want to attend one!

Here’s a tip that sorta falls into tip #2 of the video(don’t cosplay characters from mature themes) is DONT cosplay characters with super revealing outfits.
I’m 12 and love to cosplay Candace from Genshin impact, but her out fit is quite revealing for a 12 year old to wear, thus I wear a deep blue or purple shirt with underneath my top.

As someone who's mum had been helping them cosplay since they were 9, the thought of being in a con without her there is honestly kinda terrifying lmao, especially at the big yearly ones. Also, CHARITY SHOPS/THRIFTING IS YOUR BEST FRIEND!!
