Okay long rant: This got me really excited actually. I am actually working on two cosplays right now, one of which is Philza and I may be wearing it to (my first) a ren faire next year. I've looked on their web and they say they have a cosplay comp, but i really am a total beginner and literally my first time making a full on cosplay. Everyone on the internet looks so cool and sophisticated and its kind of deteterred me because I feel like I would never be as good as them. A big part of my fear is going on stage and look like i wrapped myself in a mangy bedsheet while everyone else is dressed to the stars. I don't know half the terminology they're blurting out about sewing and I dont even own a sewing machine. 😅 Your channel is honestly such an inspiriation to me, and I basically started cosplaying *because* i watched your videos. You inspired me to start thinking and get really excited about cosplay, especially the mushroom witch video which i have watched no less than 5 times. Hopefully, with my casual worker balance of $289, one day I'll make it big :)

I’ve only done some cosplay, and anytime I think about doing a neche character or if I look like a character or am I unable to do something I remember one experience. So one year I had made a Cosplay of the King from Fallen Kingdom. (You know the Minecraft parody), so I wore it to school for holloween. I didn’t have a wig or anything and I am a hefty woman (teen then but same sentiment) so i don’t particularly look like the character that much. Anywho, so I’m walking arround school and I hear to my side two freshmen boys yell asking “Are you the king from Fallen kingdom?!?” I not and give a thumbs up. They proceed to go berserk saying that’s so cool and generally freaking out. It was passing period so we didn’t stop but man that was my favorite cosplay experience. So remember neche or otherwise, looking similar or otherwise, cosplay whoever it’s still so much fun!

I don’t know if you’ve started working on the costume yet, but I just wanted to offer a suggestion for the tail. I absolutely adore Ariel, and I think a more body hugging skirt that flares out at the bottom would give that effect. I once got that effect by weirdly layering long and short petticoats. Just a random idea that I’ve always wanted to try

🤔 maybe for the tail you can do a pair of pants/leggings or shorts with a high-low kind of skirt?? And if you do the shorts maybe you can do something like scale stockings or boots similar to the tail. 🤔 anyway, however you do the outfit will be awesome and I can't wait to see it!!!

Maybe for the tail you could get a pair of green leggings and attach flowy fin-like bits of fabric, maybe in something like organza or some other somewhat sheer material? In any case though, very much looking forward to seeing what the process and final product end up looking like!

I cosplayed a few times in middle school 2014/2015 and lacked the funds to continue and now I'm back with adult money! I finally got back into it this year when my local con opened back up from covid! I completely forgot how much I loved dressing up as characters~

For the tail, what if you do leggings and sew fabric on them to mimic the fins. It would be much easier to walk around in than any attempt at a tight skirted tail.
