My bf and I have vastly different skill levels when it comes to cosplay. He cranks out amazing shit regularly for cons and while I somehow muster up one or two decent costumes. He organizes big groups with his friends who are just as skilled (or better) than he is and they all pull off these awesome cosplays that look amazing.

And then there's me: quietly following behind their amazing group in my less-than-amazing cosplay, holding their stuff, and watching them get their photos taken. I monitor his costume for any fallen pieces and guard it from people who are straying too close and might bump it. Even when it's just him and I, he still overshadows me with his costumes, and no one really notices me. His costumes dictate our entire weekend: it's all about his photoshoots, his contests and skits, his chess game, and being with his groupies.

I'm really proud of him and I know it makes him super happy to be so popular at cons, but I feel so distant from him. I'm so incomparable to him and I feel left out of all the fun. I want to practice and bring up my skill level so that I get to be invited into his group. I don't mind being the "least" of the group as long as i get to be in it. I just want to be with him.

I started cosplaying in 2010ish. I bought all my cosplays, didn't wear makeup, didn't mess with my wigs. I was pretty bad.

But I gradually improved. I learned the basics of makeup, got things tailored, spiced things up with props.

Nowadays, I've placed more emphasis on making my costumes and pieces, and going for more ambitious things. But at the same time, I feel like I haven't made as much progress as I should have considering how long I've been in the hobby. I have no sewing skills. I'm still super scared of styling wigs. I don't have faith in my contouring makeup. I don't have the abstract creativity that experienced cosplayers seem to have. I can scroll through my feed and see progress pics from people making amazing things with materials I never would have even thought of. I feel so foolish asking them questions, because the answer is often so simple and basic that I honestly should have thought of it on my own.

I feel like a cosplay failure, like I'm being left behind by people making actual progress.
