Bobby Hill from King of the Hill :danny_d_cosplay

So it started as a joke cosplay after I cut my hair a little too short. Some people joked that I looked like Bobby Hill and so I figured I would cosplay him get a couple of laughs then be done. However, To my amazement not only did it become a hit but the positivity to the cosplay was so welcoming that it has become the main cosplay I will use.

I think the biggest experience I have gained from it is when the unexpected happens to use it and make it your own. You never know, what will appear and sometimes as in my case a simple mistake  has now become my most known  cosplay.

I think my first cosplay I actually did was Noodle from Gorillaz for a high school event but my first actual con cosplay I did was Saitama from One Punch Man. The experience was uplifting in a way, here I am as a chubby cosplayer who people were excited to see as the character. This was also kind of what triggered me to use the cosplay as a way to make issues I didn’t like about myself and make them okay.

Cosplay has become very therapeutic to me. I decided to take issues that I didn’t like about myself and use them in my cosplay. When I came up with the username Danny_d_cosplay I did not like the name Danny, it simply didn’t feel like me and now I don’t think I could be any happier to hear it. I have had issues with weight so I started cosplaying chubbier characters now it’s more normal. So to me cosplay has become something to I couldn’t live without.Here you go, here are the questions with the answers. And I know we talked about what I use the cosplay for so I added that text at the end if you want to use that at all                                      

I have been cosplaying for about 8 years now and I think the biggest change that I have seen is more of the acceptance for it now. I remember when I first started if I mentioned cosplay or conventions people not in the community would give me a weird look. Now when I see cosplayers out in public cosplaying I’ll sometimes hear the strangers around them say “oh it’s like that comic con thing” or even talk about the character the person is cosplaying as.

I think I have cosplayed about 15 characters currently. My favorite cosplays are Bobby Hill, Porco Rosso, Saitama from opm , and the Box Ghost from Danny Phantom
