Cosplay and Conventions

Joe-NA

Hello.

I am new to this forum and wish to meet like-minded people. I have Mild Autism with dyspraxia and dyslexia. As my first post, I want to discuss the topic of cosplay as it means a lot to me, and it seems to matter to others.

I wish to know others' cosplay journeys, comic con experiences, and memories to understand why it matters to us. I also want to support other cosplayers and hope to work together.

I also have trouble speaking and meeting others at conventions, so I am after advice. With anxiety, I struggle to approach and meet people at conventions or ask them to take a photo with amazing cosplay, especially with famous people who are there.

I have done cosplay for many years now, and I wish to expand my creations and meet all the other wonderful creators out there. 

I will leave on an introduction. Hello there, I am Joe, and I am a creative person. Who wants his big break and a chance to shine!

Thanks for reading!

  • Hello Joe,

    It's wonderful to meet you and see your passion for cosplay and conventions! I can relate to your enthusiasm and the challenges you face. At the suggestion of my personal assistant, and following a diagnosis of autism in March 2024, I've been encouraged to "put myself out there" more. This has been quite a journey, especially after dealing with the disruptions from the train strike in December 2023.

    I’m excited to share that I will be attending the MCM convention at the NEC towards the end of the year. As part of my participation, I plan to do a lipsync cosplay of the "Willt Fog" theme tune. It would mean a lot to me if anyone attending could join me as Princess Romy and Rigadon, and also bring a toy mouse to represent Tico.

    Cosplay has always been a significant outlet for my creativity, and connecting with others who share this passion is something I value deeply. I’m looking forward to meeting fellow cosplayers, sharing experiences, and creating new memories together.

    Thank you for reading, and I hope to see some of you at the MCM convention!
