This was actually my second time cosplaying a male character, and let me tell you, I absolutely loved how it turned out. I spent weeks leading up to CosCon just perfecting the details even if it's just a simple look. Even though it wasn't the demon form, getting that perfect Denji-esque messy hair just right was a misiion itself! I even tried to emulate his slightly disheveled but endearing charm, which I think (hope!) I pulloed off. I just loved how I looked! There's something so freeing and fun about stepping into a character that's a bit different from your usual. For this Denji cosplay, I decided to go fir his more "normal" look rather than his full-on demon form with chainsaws sprouting in his head and arms. So, think white polo shirt, black slacks, and of course, the signature messy blonde wig! It may not be the flashiest, but I felt really comfortable and still totally channeled his vibe.

And as always my amazing boyfriend was there to support me and my chaotic hobby. He's the best! He does cosplay himself as well, but he's still will always be my number one hype man and photographer. We spent most of the event just roaming around the mall where CosCon was held, taking in all the incredible sights and sounds. It's always inspiring to see everyone's creativity and dedication. From elaborate armor to intricate props, the talent at hese events is just mind-blowing. We grabbed some snacks, browsed the artist alleys, and just soaked up the fantastic atmosphere. We both decided to stop by somewhere where we can sit down and eat peacefully in a crowded place while watching some anime series in my phone.

Of course, no convention experience is complete without catching up with friends! I was so happy to meet some of them and took some pics with their phones or gadgets. We really took a bunch, but sadly I forgot to ask for some on their to pass on mine. But I had pics with my other close friend which was passing by for now but she's also a cosplayer! There's a special bond your share with fellow cosplayers, a mutual understanding of the effort and love that goes into bringing these characters to life. We talked about our favourite anime, upcoming cosplans, and just had a genuinely good time. It's a moments like these that make all the effort worthwhile.
After a long day of walking, posing, and chatting, we eventually headed home, tired but absolutely buzzing from the experience. It was another successful CosCon adventure, filled with fun, friends, and fantastic memories. Went home safe and sound, already dreaming of my next cosplay project! Can't wait for the next one!
