Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

Cosplay Feature: Bodacious Cosplay's Medieval Deku!

I feel that as long as cosplay is around, mashups will be a staple for every character that's been created and is ripe for the portrayal. Whether it's the various gijinkas of animal like characters, to combining franchises with each other like Disney and Star Wars. All forms of media are pretty much subjected to this case and anime is certainly not a stranger. Today, I have the marvelous Bodacious Cosplay as the incredibly lovable Deku from My Hero Academia. The spin on the character taken imagines Deku as part of a larger medieval world. What does that entail exactly? A simple outfit with callbacks to the hero's main color scheme of green and white.

There has been some official like art of this alternate version of Deku so what exactly does the cosplay consist of? As I mentioned, the top piece matches the green of the character. Mainly a green vest on top of a white dress shirt. Gloves cover Brandon's hands and weapon wise, you can see a simple sword act as a prop. The sword is a basic design with the colors being mostly grey. It's scabbard can be seen hanging off the hip alongside the blue jeans.

There are also several pouches hanging in this general area, I have to wonder if one of them houses Deku's hero journal/notebook! The wig is a bright shade of green with a variety of spikes sticking out, it's a great match for the holder of One for All! All the photos are taken outdoors and I couldn't think of a better scenery for this. The way the sunlight hits in some of the pics matches Deku's overall optimism in the show. Plus, Brandon does an absolutely wonderful job in posing, some of those sword shots look BADASS :D.
