Our dream shoot is finally here! Had fun doing this with my real life Akihiko Sanada Jerome Lamsen Gatilao 🥰❤️! Can't believe my childhood game came into life as I have always dreamt of this since I was in HS and always dreamt that the love of my life will cosplay Akihiko Sanada for me and it came true 😭😍
YES MY CANON SHIP ❤️🙈 Still gives me the butterflies 🤭
Shout out to Cup of Sunshine Studios for shooting this amazing Persona 3 project!
some scribs based on things i saw at kawaiikon 2023 last week, i had a lot of fun! (in which i use minato + my squidkid as stand-ins for myself)
bonus comic + some thoughts about the con under the cut!
gotta love when u think it’d be cool to cosplay but then completely forget to get anything for the cosplay (i forgot to go to look for yellow fabric for a ryoji scarf)!! so u just go as just some guy (my wardrobe has a few items that remind me of my faves).
ANYWAYS for the con itself, i had a lot of fun! something about it was very humanizing, just knowing that there were other people in hawaii who also like persona (and the other things that i am into). i got to pull out my beloved minato nui/plushie and share him with other people which was. fun!!
the cosplayers were super cool too! the femc cosplayer was super sweet and they had!! a p3 protag itabag and it was so ?? heartwarming and cool for me to see that?? and the akechi + kokichi cosplayers being in the same proximity was also very cool to me (idk i feel like they’re just both interesting characters).
and of course the artists were very lovely... i was very surprised 2 see so much persona 3 (thank you p3p for being put on modern consoles) there, haha. i paid the minato tax™ aka that’s what happens when your favorite character is like. the protag. i have so much beautiful minato art in my home now. i am so happy and normal about this. my heart is sold to him. he has such incomprehensible boy swag that transcends the universe. but anyway.
this is very rambly but um idk im just! grateful and appreciative! that other people are out there that enjoy media that i like especially since they were so scarce and far between (other fandoms showed up more frequently). would i go again? dunno, depends on what im into by the time next year rolls around. but i’m glad that i went this year, for sure 💙
I’m not a princess
(A lot of anger in it)
Not a cutie girlfriend, oh no
don’t you know?
Wore this cosplay to Sunday of Otakon (though these photos were taken later) and so many people were excited to see FeMC. I’m looking forward to when this game gets ported so more people can enjoy it. :)
Some of these photos have had an ex friend edited out as we don’t feel comfortable associating with them anymore. Please excuse how messy it is, I don’t really know how to do it better.
