Should you Cosplay at School? | Cosplay Tips

[@jackiejames4551]

When i was in school there was this boy who was very popular he was in drama club with me and he convinced the drama club to enter a float in the homecoming parade. He also talked us all into being on the float dressed as our favorite character of plays we had put on. It was great! For the first time, we ALL got to cosplay in a safe manner. We also got a lot more kids interested in joining the drama club.

That sounds AMAZING 🤩

My school is trying to get all of us in Cinderella to have a spot in the village anniversary parade

[@silshine]

heavy on the picking thing though, my school felt super safe last 2 years but this year me and my cosplay friends at our school have been targeted for bullying/ being made fun of, soo please make sure youre in a safe space when cosplaying at school

Remembering highschool me in a full handmade Belle gown on stage for the finals of the costume contest....lost to a guy with a shipping box on his head dressed up as the lmfao robot in the party rock music video...

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

Sounds about right 🤦‍♀️😂😂

[@twotruckslyrics]

ohh thata tragic noo 😭

[@zelphiaellerson6283]

As a previous administrator for a high school in school support program, could I suggest: if you're a subdued/wanna be cosplayer or someone who supports/appreciates it, PLEASE offer support! Acknowledging, saying hello/offering a supportive comment and/or the appropriate hand gesture () would be so welcome!

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

Absolutely this! I remember not being in costume on Halloween in my senior year, but a grade 7 showed up in full Homestuck cosplay and I made sure to tell them I liked their Karkat cosplay, and as yearbook editor made sure to snap a pic for the yearbook. 👌

[@MDACosplay]

If you think about it this can be applied to the workplace too. Some like where I work have occasional theme days and most of my coworkers are dressing up tomorrow

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

Absolutely these can! Good point!!

[@DanielRossellSolanes]

happened once where I work. but there was no theme restriction. just do your best if you want. there were three (maybe 4) exceptions. the (female) bosses all came with the same cosplay. realistic police uniform. including gun, batton and cuffs. a shame we were forbiden from voting any of them for best cosplay because they looked better than great.

[@MyFictionalChaos]

I was into cosplay as a kid and i dont particularly remember thinking it WAS cosplay, but whenever school had a dress up day (spirit week) i would ALWAYS dress up. And i would do certain characters. But now that i am a "cosplayer" i would most certainly say i was cosplaying back then!

[@KURRYYY1101]

One time I just decided to randomly go to school in full rolling girl Miku cosplay and I got SOOO many compliments😭 but also many weird looks, the pigtails went down a little past my knees and it was a bit annoying otherwise it was fun👍

[@millianarego2213]

I cosplayed in grade 8 as Hatsune Miku for halloween at school and I had a great experience. I got compliments from tons of people, so I would recommend! But it depends I think on who you are cosplaying.

[@hutao3165]

I plan to cosplay for halloween too, do you have any tips for what to do during pe though 😭

[@kokonafriedchicken9031]

For me, one of my only cosplays is Sayori from DDLC. My hair already looks like hers, and everything looks like a regular school outfit. Mwahahaha!!!!

[@silshine]

for 100 days we have colors assigned to each day of the week, I've been to school twice in cosplay before(halloween) so I'm thinking about cosplaying that week hehe

[@JustCallMeEevee]

Just to summarize the note with the school costume contests; If it’s not craftsmanship based, don’t think you’re winning.

[@thehottestmanonearth123]

This!! I went to school for my middle school halloween costume contest in FULL handmade goddess madoka cosplay, wig and everything - and I lost to a guy dressing as a star wars character. All he won was a small goodie bag of candy, so luckily I wasn't too pressed about it, but it still was disappointing after putting in all of that effort lol.

im going to my first big con soon! not in cosplay so i don't really know why im watching this content but im just hyped. I joined a discord for a meetup at the comic con and making connections now!

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

Hype is good! I have a small series on con safety as well if that helps. I really hope you enjoy your first con that is so exciting!

[@nicolasvicenzo2200]

Great video. I like the bump in the production improvement on the video. Things have changed alot since my school days. Back then, cosplay was non-existent now there is good number of cosplayers at any level of school.

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

Thank you! Been putting a lot of effort into improvements and glad it's been noticeable

[@BlazingForgeCosplay]

As someone who has cosplayed at school. These tips are great! All these things are exactly what you need to think about before bringing a costume to school. Luckily I'm part of my school's media tech program so we've actually used my suit of armor in films before! Overall these things are great and one thing I would add especially if your costume has your face obstructed is PLEASE talk to your school ADMINS before doing any of that! they will appreciate it and it helps keep them in the know before someone yk. calls the police.

[@SP0R3.]

i wore my mangle cosplay for halloween once:3 (also you remind me of tma i love it)

[@Coded-CD]

JADE HARLEY COSPLAY!!!! i think that it's awesome and it's cool seeing Homestuck cosplayers that are popular now since Homestuck isn't anymore!

[@BanditSpurs]

Oh i like the new opening

Thank you! Le Bon Bard Chaotique did such an amazing job on it 💖

[@disgrace781]

This isn't exactly on the topic of cosplay at school, but I just wanted to ask. Most of the video I see of people at conventions are in anime costumes of some sort. Is it okay to be in a costume that is NOT a anime character at a convention?

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

Oh absolutely! Anime is just very popular but many people wear cosplays from all sorts of media!

[@FelicityUwU]

There are cons of specific themes that will probably draw crowds of similar people and cosplays as well. Some will be focused on everything anime, so you'll see a heck of a lot more of them. Others might be comic book themed and have a lot of super heroes. But I don't think that you are forces to dress to those themes, even if it is themed. You just might not see anyone else like you there.

[@Viv844]

/ the Jade cosplay from the thumbnail looks so good !! :3 🐾🦴🍪🎀🍮

[@Astr1ddd-101]

Your so lucky, i’m in the UK and we have to have uniform and can’t have our own clothes

[@CookieandCosmoHEHEHE]

Fr :( BUT luckily we get days when we’re allowed to wear our own clothes so :D

[@Smol_wendigoon]

I showed up to school dressed as an umbrella corp soldier, and someone barked at me several times in the hallway. Why, i dont know?

[@Theshortquietkid]

The only time I get to cosplay is Halloween sadly even tho I'm in a public school, they treat us like we are in a private school. The dress code I have is horrible.

[@turntech_NameGOD]

oh my god the jade harley in the thumbnail??? is being into homestuck the cosplayer canon event

[@MischiveiousGremlin]

My friend and I are doing a duo on Halloween this coming October, he's being Doma and I'm being Shinobu (Demon Slayer) and he plans to annoy the heck out of me for the reason of "acting in character" yeah sure buddy 💀

Also you can cosplay at church to avoid bullying, although some ppl will still bully U :(

[@nawcindy8177]

Do y'all think cosplaying Tsukasa at a strict Christian school is ok?

[@aniiii_wxs]

it depends on the dress code im pretty sure, if your school allows it they do if they dont they dont

[@aniiii_wxs]

but im curious which one? tbhk, pjsk, ls, etc? :0

[@elleishell3183]

Im pretty sure my school has no dress codes lol ive seen ppl literally wearing a cropped zip up hoodie over a bra which i think is good even though i would never

[@firstnamename3104]

hello, i am a young n not exactly a young cosplayer but a young person considering cosplaying and i have a few questions and concerns. for one, is homestuck an appropriate media to be cosplaying in middle school?? it has a lot of nsfw/questionable jokes, and an even more questionable community, so i am kind of iffy about that. second, it feels kind of weird to buy cosplay things online, because all i've ever learned about getting cosplays is people just make it themselves, even though that's probably not always true. it kind of makes me feel inferior in a way? let me seeee do i have any more stufffff uhhhhhh nah not really love that jade harley cosplay by the way

[@firstnamename3104]

also dont know if this is needed but terezi is the character i am thinking of

[@turntech_NameGOD]

>old comment but anyway >i have seen people cosplay/dress up as much worse at school, homestucks age demographic is teens and young adults so i wouldnt say its THAT crude. >its completely fine to buy cosplays, the point of cosplaying isnt just making them, and we all have to buy some kind of material anyway

[@firstnamename3104]

@@turntech_NameGOD thanks!! i am not very much into homestuck anymore. love joey though. i could squish her cheeks and they would ooze out like playdough.
