>cosplay from older video game, early 2000's
>get a group of some of the main characters together, only 3 but still better than nothing
>costumes go over really well at the con, 3 weeks later still getting likes and hitting up to 5x my target interaction, and never less than 10%
>also getting flooded with messages and comments about how cute I am as $character, and how great our group looked

It's making me really nervous, honestly. I'm not used to getting so much attention for one costume. I may just curl up and hide for a bit.

I really like the shape of my face and eyes but I always feel insecure about my "Italian" nose. It's not super huge but I always feel like it's not very cute when I'm dressed up or cosplaying....

>go out with BFF a couple of days ago
>talking about cosplay and stuff because we're doing a group cosplay at a con next weekend with her, my boyfriend, and myself
>she starts fishing for my ring size just out of the blue, think nothing of it
>immediately whips out her phone once I give her an answer and starts texting furiously
>still meh, whatever, I'm looking at stuff anyway so I'm more focused on that
>"Anon, are you suuuuure it's 7?"
>tell her yes, she starts texting again
>Holding her phone to handle gps back at the car I see my boyfriend's name pop up on a text message
>be good friend, don't snoop, immediately just sorta try to brush it off, but when we get to dinner...
>"Anon, which day are we going the group again?"
>Friday and Saturday, duh, I told you a million times
>"Just wanted to be sure, I wanna be there for this."
>Try and press about what "this" is but she blows me off about it

I've been suspicious my boyfriend has been planning something because he's been very secretive about his money. It isn't 100 percent my business so I don't press, but he's bad at hiding things because he gets all playfully defensive.

I think I'm gonna get proposed to the con we're going to next week. I'm gonna say yes if he does, and we're still gonna have a great time even if he doesn't. I'm happy where we are but if he wants to take a step further I am really happy and flattered he does.

TL;DR I'm excited and nervous and worried but we're gonna have a great time, and also might be proposed to in cosplay at a relatively large convention in front of a ton of people

>it's the edit I made!
Urgh I really fucked up the colour balance on the coord. I'll have to fix that sometime.

Anyway

I was wearing a casual coord with a babushka at University a few months ago. Someone said I looked like Hansel and Gretel.
Both of them.
It's not at all horrible but it was a little silly.
