I try to show the behind the scenes where I can, but as I say in the last slide, noone wants to see you breaking down and crying from pain and frustration mid-con, or being sick from muscle spasms the day after a photoshoot, that side of being a disabled cosplayer isnt instagrammable, so you never see it. I love cosplaying with all my heart and doing competitions and photoshoots are genuinely my favourite things to do, but when youre chronically ill those things come with a price, so think about that before you talk about us behind our backs because of what you see on social media. We're all fake on here.

We need more of these! (And thank you for sharing 🫶) beacuse so often social media, in virtue of its form, has us stuck in percieved extremes (and infantilised or judged as faking, both dehumanising)
