/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Whats the deal with those girls who always have to have to cosplay the main character or the high femme character all the time? In groups, they always insist on being the main girl (like miku, madoka, sailor moon, etc.) because its like they dont get enough attention in their every day life.

>tfw start taking steroids so I can cosplay without being ashamed by my body
>But I just want to cos Illya

Is muscle [insert non-muscle character] still a thing?

I'm in a similar boat, Anon. I'm a magical girl indulgent and I've been wanting to cosplay Illya since I watched Kaleid Liner years ago, hadn't because I didn't know how to sew/forgot I even wanted to cosplay her, and now that I AM able to cosplay her I've found out about how gatekeepy Fate fans seem to be?!

I have absolutely zero interest in Fate outside of Kaleid Liner, but I just have this dumb fear that I'll get shunned by ~real~ Fate fans since I'm not into anything else Fate, or I feel like they wont even approach me for pics in the first place since I'm dressed as the silly magical girl spinoff.

I know most people would just tell me to do it anyway but I'm the kind of person who doesn't understand cosplaying from stuff you're not even a fan of, so it'd be dumb for me to not practice what I preach.
