Some AsiaPOP Comicon (APCC) 2016 cosplayers showed us that anybody can cosplay by revealing their occupations/professions. And we loved the results! :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even if cosplay is a bit mainstream nowadays, there are still those who see us cosplayers as immature and who don’t grow up because we dress up like our favorite characters. They see us as people who waste money on cosplay and don’t think about the future.
In truth, we cosplayers are just your ordinary citizens who wake up in the morning or evening to either study or work. What people don’t know is behind the costumes, we are students, freelancers, and employees who still go through all the everyday things in life. When the cosplay event is over and reality sets in, we bring our focus back on our studies, our occupations, and our futures.
At the AsiaPOP Comicon Manila (APCC) 2016, Marc and I went around and asked cosplayers to write down their real life occupations. And we were amazed by what they revealed. Behind all those beautiful, colorful, and awesome cosplays are ordinary people who are either studying for their future or working to make a living. Below are teaser photos of those cosplayers:
To see all the real life occupations of the APCC Manila cosplayers, watch the compilation video that we did below:
This shows that no matter what a person does in life, anybody can be a cosplayer. All of us do our best to portray our favorite characters well, which is our way of giving tribute to them. Being a cosplayer is no joke at all. :)
So, when you see cosplayers anywhere, remember that they are also like you---people who go through everyday life.
It was interesting to see these cosplayers' real life occupations. Let me know your thoughts about what you have read and watched above by leaving a comment below. You can also talk to me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
