Oh...I remember you...You're that weird cat-eared cosplay-kid! You called me a cospl... How'd you get all the way up to the third-floor window... Because I'm a cat.
Peach-Pit (Shugo Chara!, Vol. 1: Who Do You Want to Be?)
You're that weird cat-eared cosplay-kid!
Peach-Pit (Shugo Chara!, Vol. 1: Who Do You Want to Be?)
She’s texting every ten minutes, trying to convince her about joining a cosplay contest tomorrow evening. Kusha replies ‘NO,’ silencing her for a day.
Misba (The Oldest Dance (Wisdom Revolution, #2))
I just cosplay being an adult.
Jennie Breeden
Rumor holds that Sabine trapped him to use as a sex slave, tormenting him until he agreed to wed her. Then he made a slave of her.” She blinked at him. “Like those are bad things?” At his look of astonishment, she said, “They enjoyed tons of bondage, some master/sub stuff, a real-live dungeon with shackles, role and cosplay. Spankings and repeated orgasm denial. You know, typical BDSM. But don’t worry, they were doing it before it became cool.
Kresley Cole (Dark Skye (Immortals After Dark, #14))
Then you check for paraphernalia, always bearing in mind that the line between cosplay, magic practice, and niche sex play can get pretty blurry.
Ben Aaronovitch (Amongst Our Weapons (Rivers of London, #9))
But all I had to show for my efforts was an impressive familiarity with obscure Sailor Moon trivia and an inexplicable desire to cosplay as Tuxedo Mask (which I may or may not have acted upon in the solitude and privacy of my own home).
Ernest Cline (Ready Player Two (Ready Player One, #2))
I saw him today too. Twice. He was at my school. Tall shirtless dude cosplaying a decomposing demon Minotaur.
Krystal Sutherland (House of Hollow: The haunting New York Times bestseller)
Disguise a sword?" she asked. "Like cosplay?" "I'm not saying tie ribbons to it and pretend we're in a parade, but you said it could change shape. Perhaps it could turn into something smaller? Pocket-size maybe? I don't know, like a pen or something.
Sarwat Chadda (City of the Plague God (Adventures of Sik Aziz, #1))
Cosplay. Why you just said the magic word!
Danika Stone (All the Feels)
There are garments in all of our wardrobes we don't wear because we don't dare. We bought the jumpsuit for when we were feeling brave and it turns out we never are. A friend of mine had a party and asked us to wear that thing we already own that we never dare wear and it was the most wonderful night. One woman wore her bridal gown. Others wore more cleavage than clothes. Some wore glam rock shoes and velvet capes. Others, tight jeans and crop tops. Some, cosplay cos times. We were all given permission to say yes to our most daring selves. The one we leave hanging up at home. You don't have to be queer to leave the best part of yourself in the closet. Most of us are doing it all the time,
Deborah Frances-White (The Guilty Feminist: From Our Noble Goals to Our Worst Hypocrisies)
I try to go out of my way to connect with each person as much as I possibly can despite the long lines an stifling crowds and people in cosplay with fakes weapons who accidentally poke people in the eyes with rubber broadswords. Because that single moment you get with someone you admire is so important, I never want anyone to walk away feeling mortified like I generally do when meeting someone I fan over.
Felicia Day (You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost))
Our best analyst thinks it's not a tactical design. Something for mall ninjas.... Young men who dress to feel they'll be mistaken for having special capability. A species of cosplay, really. Endemic. Lots of boys are playing soldier now. The men who run the world aren't, and neither are the boys most effectively bent on running it next. Or the ones who're actually having to be soldiers, of course. But many of the rest have gone gear-queer, to one extent or another.
William Gibson (Zero History (Blue Ant, #3))
In pursuing a ‘way,’ Japanese typically move beyond an interest in craftsmanship to a kind of sacred search for the ultimate.
Morinosuke Kawaguchi (Geeky-Girly Innovation: A Japanese Subculturalist's Guide to Technology and Design)
Niya took over the interrogation. "How do these Celestials keep finding us?" "Oh, don't know. probably because you're all cosplaying as glowsticks right now?" Xio said sarcastically. The trio looked down at their illuminated suits and then at one another. "Okay," Teo sighed, "That does seem like an obvious one we should've considered sooner.
Aiden Thomas (Celestial Monsters (The Sunbearer Duology, #2))
Halloween is the only time people can become what they want to be without getting fired.
Sylvester Stallone
​When the world makes you a Villain, go buy a cloak and cosplay it for every ounce of joy you can get.
Jeff Mach ("I Hate Your Time Machine": A fiction-fueled guide to some of the worst tropes of Fantasy & Science Fiction)
Because you look like Thor and Loki had a hot slashfic kid who cosplays a goth Viking.
Anonymous
He looked like someone cosplaying Eric Estrada except, yeah, way cuter.
Eli Easton (How to Howl at the Moon (Howl at the Moon, #1))
But don’t come around here with your Good Samaritan cosplay bullshit.
Jonathan Dee (Sugar Street)
Caution: Accusing cosplayers of kinky motivations will often yield scorn. Avoid doing so, unless you are dressed as Link.
Rex Sorgatz (The Encyclopedia of Misinformation: A Compendium of Imitations, Spoofs, Delusions, Simulations, Counterfeits, Impostors, Illusions, Confabulations, ... ... ... Conspiracies & Miscellaneous Fakery)
It has become fashionable among the affluent to cosplay adversity without sacrificing comfort.
Heather Holmes
The room had all the trappings of corporate cosplay: walls lined with meaningless jargon posters (“Fail Fast,” “Think Lean,” “Sprint or Die!”), whiteboards no one had written on, and an “Agile Champion.
Scott M. Graffius (Agile Protocol: The Transformation Ultimatum (Mini-Book))
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go out and greet those wonderful creatures and say a few nice words in a language invented by Tolkein. I've practiced, but I sound like Chewbacca making a New Year's speech.
Nina George (The Little Paris Bookshop)
It’s ironic how pretending to be someone else can help you figure out who you really are. As if somehow by trying to live out your delusions and escape reality you actually discover your truth. But such is the life of a cosplayer.
Rachel Rosato (The Con: A Cosplay Convention Mystery)
Phoenix." Tezuka's unfinished masterpiece. "Phoenix" is the Christ of manga's ode to change... Resurrection... Since I am such a noted manga scholar, you might think my life has always been a roaring success... But the truth is that I'm forever attempting to be reborn out of the flames of my own misery and painfully obvious worthlessness.
Dash Shaw (Cosplayers 2: Tezukon)
Pop culture. Nobody does bullshit better than us. Right? China took over manufacturing. And the Middle East has us on fossil fuels. That's just geography and politics. We're a nation of whacko immigrants. Scavengers and con men. We crossed the ocean on faith, stole some land and stone-cold made up a whole country out of nothing but balls and bullshit. Superhero comics got invented by crazy genius Jews who showed up and revamped the refugee experience into a Man of Steel sent from Krypton with a secret identity.
Damon Suede (Bad Idea (Itch #1))
These women do not stop to ponder the consequences of their claims to be playing with the boys. They do not consider the full male experience, but cosplay the particular parts the system wants them to play. She works hard for the corporation. She has meaningless sex. She acts tough. She isn't afraid to fight. She then wonders why women are depressed more, committing suicide more often, and why one in four are on mental medication. Playing at just a few parts of the male role drives women to medication, drinking, and despair. It is womans ignorance of masculinity that they would ever dare to claim she was performing a father's role. No man would claim to do a mother's role, for he knows he could never be a mother. A dog may jump around and act like a cat, but it is still a dog.
Ryan Landry (Masculinity Amidst Madness)
Above all else, overwork was a distraction that blotted out the dull, but ambient emotional discomfort that was always there, a feeling of unworthiness that I’ve been running from my entire life. Work made me feel like I was somebody other than the unlovable monster I was quite sure I was inside. It allowed me to feel that if I cosplayed long enough as a cool and confident professional, I could obliterate that monster for good.
Jennifer Romolini (Ambition Monster: A Memoir)
Uh, now let me tell you about what's new. We found another set of drawings, always nice, AND A FOXY HEAD! Which we think could be authentic! Then again, it might just be another crappy cosplay. And we found a Desk fan, very old school, metal though, so watch the fingers! Uh, heh! Uhm, right now the place is basically just, you know, FLASHING LIGHTS and SPOOKY PROPS. I honestly thought we'd have more by now, uh so if we don't have anything really cool by next week, we may have to suit you up in a Freddy suit, and make you walk around saying: "BOOO!" Hehe. Uh, but you know like I said, were trying to track down, a good lead right now. Uh, some guy who helped design one of the buildings, said there was like, an extra room that got boarded up..? Or something like that.  So! Were gonna take a peak, and see what we can find. Uh, for now just get comfortable with the new
Andrew Mills (Five Nights at Freddy's 3 Ultimate Strategy Guide, Walkthrough, Secrets, Tips and Tricks)
Damn bicycles,” Leon complained. “It could be the zombie apocalypse and these sons-a-bitches would still be out here in their toddler-sized Lycra shorts. What’s that called, cos-play? It’s like going for a Sunday drive in a full NASCAR fire suit and helmet.
Mark Hacker (Infliction Point (Zach Axton Thriller #1))
He’d uncovered one of the early subcult melds, the first internet generation to carve their identity from a global menu of counterculture. Style-wise, they borrowed saggy hip-hop gear from West Coast rappers, cartoonish Gyaru makeup from the Japanese cosplay scene, and angular Emo hairstyles from the Washington, DC, post-hard-core crowd. Their attitudes crossed anything-goes California bisexuality with edgy Brit-punk sneer, a combination that led to a completely novel form of rebellion: wet-kissing strangers on the street.
Steven Kotler (Last Tango in Cyberspace)
Comme beaucoup de gens élevés trop strictement par leurs parents, Henri de Longueville avait acquis avec l'argent et la reconnaissance sociale la vanité d'être vulgaire. Il la goûtait comme une friandise, comme un plaisir défendu qu'il ne se refusait jamais, un désagrément qu'il imposait aux autres avec délectation.
Laurent Ladouari (Cosplay)
One TV show I’m not a fan of is this show called Football. This show has been going on for fifty-four seasons, and honestly, I don’t see the appeal. Episodes are repetitive, the writing is confusing, the cinematography is flat, there are too many characters to keep track of, and I can’t relate to any of their struggles. Also, for some reason, they all want to hold this oddly shaped ball. I must have missed the episode where they explained why it’s so important. Football episodes always have a huge live studio audience at the tapings. The audience is so big that a lot of times they can be seen in the shots—which I wouldn’t mind if the audience wasn’t screaming every time the show started to get interesting. Whenever Football airs the season finale, I get invited to viewing parties and people cosplay as their favorite character. I always go because of the free food, but I’m never caught up in the show, so it’s hard for me to get invested. Oh well, at least the commercials are entertaining.
James Rallison (The Odd 1s Out: The First Sequel)
The price of privilege is the moral duty to act when one sees another person treated unfairly. And the least that a person in the dominant caste can do is not make the pain any worse. If each of us could truly see and connect with the humanity of the person in front of us, search for that key that opens the door to whatever we may have in common, whether cosplay or Star Trek, or the loss of a parent, it could begin to affect how we see the world and others in it. Perhaps change the way we hire or even vote. Each time a person reaches across caste and makes a connection, it helps to break the back of caste. Multiplied by millions in a given day, it becomes the flap of a butterfly wing that shifts the air and builds to a hurricane across an ocean. With our current ruptures, it is not enough to not be racist or sexist. Our times call for being pro-African American, pro-woman, pro-Latino, pro-Asian, pro-Indigenous, pro-humanity in all its manifestations. In our era, it is not enough to be tolerant.
Isabel Wilkerson (Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents)
Although a toned body was important in the 1980s, the nation was again distracted by even more ridiculous hair and clothing. I was at my thinnest at this point in time. Also, I’d gained four inches in bangs height. And yet, I squandered my small, perky ass on oversized khaki Bermuda shorts, loafers with argyle socks that I pulled up to my knees, and crewneck wool sweaters with tie-on lace collars. Comedian Karen Kilgariff, of My Favorite Murder, described the 1980s aptly as a time when young girls dressed like they were doing middle-aged secretary cosplay. Barbara had become my style icon.
Jen Lancaster (Welcome to the United States of Anxiety: Observations from a Reforming Neurotic)
We'd been trying so hard to look like our heroes, we'd kinda forgotten what a hero really is. Capes, masks, powers — sure, that's great and all, but in the end ... it's just window dressing. Like Emile says: clothes don't make the man!
Mikko (Cosplay)
Jesus Christ, an umbrella, katana? Really?” Nathan growls at Blaine. “You brought some nunchucks too while you’re out here trying to cosplay as Jackie Chan? No wonder Milo left you.” “Yet you know about the nunchucks,” Blaine muses. “Who do you think taught him?
Clarissa Wild (Evil Boys (Spine Ridge University))
Nakano Shoten
Gianni Simone (Tokyo Geek's Guide: Manga, Anime, Gaming, Cosplay, Toys, Idols & More - The Ultimate Guide to Japan's Otaku Culture)
I love anime, but anime makes it so hard... It's like a boy I knew. "I love you, so why do you have to be so dumb?" Hahaha.
Dash Shaw (Cosplayers #1)
See? Verti gets it... Sometimes being a fan means demanding the work be of a certain quality level.
Dash Shaw (Cosplayers 2: Tezukon)
I actually believe games are important. The whole world thinks the only true, real reward is getting paid. But games know the only real reward is just feeling good. Enjoying yourself. Play is for serious.
Dash Shaw (Cosplayers #1)
I used to get t-shirts solely based on what was printed on the shirt. If I liked the Secret of Mana game, I bought a Secret of Mana t-shirt. Then one day my mom said: "Think about the fit. The fit. The fit is key." And my whole life changed.
Dash Shaw (Cosplayers #1)
Mabel was well over a foot shorter than Jay. At the bakery Christmas party, she'd glanced with loathing at the limbo pole, walked straight underneath it, and headed for the bar. She still managed to look down her nose at him now. "Valuable life lesson. If you feel comfortable shoveling handfuls of stolen sweets into your pockets, I might feel comfortable shoveling you headfirst into a pipe." Jay raised his brows at Sylvie. "Have we considered moving Mabel's workstation so she's slightly farther away from the paying customers? Perhaps about"---he made a pinching motion with his finger and thumb--- "two post codes to the left?" "Have we considered getting a haircut, so we look slightly less like an aging rockstar?" Mabel asked conversationally. "It's swell of you to take over potions class while Sylvie's back on telly, Axl Rose, but you don't have to go full wizard cosplay.
Lucy Parker (Battle Royal (Palace Insiders, #1))
For such outcasts you nerds always be shittin’ on each other.
Quiana Glide (Cosplay Worthy)
. One of the very few positive memories I had of school was my tiny group of friends. We’d sit in the hall before class and exchange notebooks full of fanfiction and sketchbooks full of fanart. Like so many kids who thought they’d stay friends forever, we drifted apart after graduation. Those geeky days behind most of them, yet I was stuck in the same mindset.
Quiana Glide (Cosplay Worthy)
Do we want to dress as townies, or we want our heavy loadout like we’re cosplaying Fallout 4?
Boyd Craven (The Farm Book 1: Behind The Curve (Behind The Curve - The Farm))
They look like they’re cosplaying—dressing up like a character from a movie, anime, book, video game, etc.—but I like it. I’m getting serious Ouran High School Host Club vibes again. “If Church says he has an idea, it’s a good one.
C.M. Stunich (The Ruthless Boys (Adamson All-Boys Academy #2))
Well, on the bright side, if he did start to fall apart, he could do some convincing cosplays on top of being able to start calling people ‘smooth skin’.
Joshua Rettew (Gene Harvest)
The man I’d secretly been pinning over for years was tenderly cradling me in his arms, and I was cosplaying as a trash panda.
Elizabeth Knight (Yes Now Yes Forever (Sunshine & Rainbows Omegaverse #4))
And there are also some trust-fund kids cosplaying poverty. I am coining the term blanketforters,
Lauren Beukes (Bridge)
Sure, he knows how to look sexy cosplaying a lumberjack in the woods, but as comfortable as he is, I’m daydreaming about him on the beaches of San Diego.
S.L. Scott (Never Have I Ever)
I didn’t want to be in a crowded restaurant, on a double date, surrounded by strangers and cosplaying indifference. I wanted to be anywhere else, as long as I was alone with her.
Ana Huang (The Striker (Gods of the Game, #1))
In a consumerist culture, people rebel by buying a different brand, and instead of staging a real rebellion, which requires secret planning and stealthy strikes, American pseudo-radicals are constantly fingering themselves as soon as they hit the sidewalk. It's a fashion thing. In this illusionistic and narcissistic society, it's imperative that you look a certain way if you want to be slotted into one of the socially acceptable subgroups. It's all cosplay, all the time, for even the nerd look has been commodified and imbued with irony.
Linh Dinh (Postcards from the End of America)
Um," I point at his cape and gadgets. "You know you'll stand out, right?" He frowns at me. "You're none better," he says. I look down at my very medieval looking white gown and the two swords I carry. At least Yami is hidden as a dragon necklace. "You're right. I won't blend in either." He freezes. "Right, well, I'll just say it's Halloween." "But it's not." He raises an eyebrow.  "What do you mean?" "You can't just say it's Halloween. It has to be the actual day." "Really? Your human customs are so strange." He turns to the sink to wash his hands. I sigh. "Okay, we can say we're part of a fantasy game reenactment. Cosplay. That should give us a good cover." "Cosplay?" he says, holding the word in his mouth like a foreign thing he's afraid to taste. "Yeah, it's when humans dress up like characters from their favorite… " Ace's eyes are vacant and he looks bored. I sigh again. "Nevermind. Just let me do the talking if anyone questions our choice of clothing." He washes his hands, then gestures at the door. "After you." I lead, entering a place I once called a second home. Everything is familiar, everything makes me feel welcome. Jesus eyeing the naked sculptures. The Neon signs. The baby bottles filled with milk for customers' coffee. "Oh, Ari, sweetie. I didn't see you come in." Sheri runs up to me, wrapping me in a hug. "It's been so long. How have you been? And who's this dashing young man?" Ace raises his cape in front of his eyes. "It's Halloween." "No… no…" I shake my head and pull his cape down. "He's a friend. I'm just showing him the sights.
Karpov Kinrade (Moonlight Prince (Vampire Girl, #4))
She ignores my hilarious joke and continues surveying my room, her fingers playing with the chunky turquoise necklace that sits above her abomination of a coral-colored sweater. She was probably going for “Capable Mom Back in the Workforce!” but the effect is more “Middle-Aged Little Mermaid Cosplayer.
Dana Schwartz (And We're Off)
I know all their costumes by heart, and one day I'll be making-" "Costumes?! That's what you're into, their outfits? Oh God... you're not one of those cosplay chicks, are you?
Whitney Gardner (Chaotic Good)
I think back to the parties Aimee and I planned, and how all those tuxedos and ball gowns weren't really that much different, costumewise, than some of these getups. Not as elaborate or out there, to be sure, but not so different. After all, is an hour at Bobbi Brown for the perfect party makeup that much of a stretch from an hour putting on a Klingon forehead or Spock ears? Is searching for the perfect dress, shoes, bag, wrap, jewelry so much different from the perfect jumpsuit, ray gun, ammo belt, and communicator? And unlike most of the regular parties we did, these people are way open to each other and the experience. There don't seem to be gaggles of people standing back to judge the other gaggles. And while a lot of the subsets do seem to flock together, Star Wars over here, Lord of the Rings over there, I haven't overheard one snarky comment about someone's costume. None of the women here, in all of their variety of shapes and sizes, seem to be doing anything other than squeeing at each other and praising how gorgeous they are. And everyone seems to just own themselves. I've been at hundreds of events looking at a sea of black dresses because everyone thinks it is slimming. But today I've seen a riot of color and skin. Including a 350-pound raven-haired vixen in a chain-mail corset, with cleavage you could park a hovercraft in, surrounded by a coterie of clearly smitten men. I wanted to high-five her.
Stacey Ballis (Out to Lunch)
Here is the truth about being a nerd. You don't have to be an expert in something, you just have to be passionate. There is no test and no application. Only a love of a thing that is the best.
Cecil Castellucci (Don't Cosplay with My Heart)
We find happiness in a kaleidoscope of stories: in books, in comics, in dance, in podcasts, in film and TV shows and video games. We find happiness in cosplaying as our favorite characters, and going to meet-and-greets with our favorite celebrities, and Dimension Door-ing onto the back of an Ancient Black Dragon, and finger-gunning Magic Missiles with our murder-hobo friends in a weekly session of Dungeons and Dragons. We all deserve to be happy, and love what we love, and be unironically enthusiastic about it. There is a magic in fandom that there rarely is anywhere else—where you can raise a TV show from the dead, and un-fridge a favorite character, and write fanfic that becomes canon. It is the kind of magic that brings our far corners of the world together.
Ashley Poston (The Princess and the Fangirl (Once Upon a Con, #2))
These women do not stop to ponder the consequences of their claims to be playing with the boys. They do not consider the full male experience, but cosplay the particular parts the system wants them to play. She works hard for the corporation. She has meaningless sex. She acts tough.

Ryan Landry (Masculinity Amidst Madness)
Were the future leaders of the United States who had won coveted tickets to the highest echelons of the neoliberal meritocracy — the ones who were supposed to take over the newspapers, high political offices, and corporations — really demonstrating in the quads not about the military-industrial complex, wealth inequality, or America's endless foreign wars, but cosplay?
Dale Beran (It Came from Something Awful: How a Toxic Troll Army Accidentally Memed Donald Trump into Office)
Women do cosplay, of course, and thank god for that, but they don’t go to the local coffee shop dressed as cheerleaders, fuck god for that.
Penn Jillette (Random)
Bec messaged me earlier in the week to ‘suggest’ I borrow Annie’s bubblegum-coloured Scanlan Theodore dress, but because I’m not a size six and because wearing pink makes me look like I’m cosplaying Jigglypuff,
Genevieve Novak (No Hard Feelings)
He imagined a reality show host selling Los Angeles to a live audience: “Are you a surfer dude hitting the waves? You’ll fit right in. How about a hipster starting a gluten-free cookie brand or a new church? Of course. And is there a place for a young family raising small children? You bet. How about a retired couple wanting to play bingo all day? Indeed. High-powered executives? Yes! Lawyers, doctors, agents, and managers? Best place to thrive. Gym buffs, starlets, chefs, yoga teachers, students, writers, healers, misfits, trainers, nurses? Right this way, please. Are you into cosplay, improv, porn, Roller Derby, voyeurism, cemetery movie screenings, food truck drag racing, AA, relapse, rehab, open mic, plastic surgery, wine tastings, biker meetups, karaoke, clubbing, S and M, or escape rooms? Come on over!” Every race, religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, and food preference was well represented within Los Angeles County, and this is what Oscar loved most about his city;
María Amparo Escandón (L.A. Weather)
Freedom that is gained at another person’s expense isn’t freedom; it is just diverted oppression. A lot of people who say they want freedom really just want to cosplay as oppressors by excluding and harming the people they believe are beneath them. We don’t get free by lording our power over others. Freedom is a collective endeavor that requires us to imagine a different world than the one we presently inhabit. As we imagine freedom, it is critical that we imagine freedom for all people.

Yeah, that was how they rolled in Gotham City, the world’s biggest cult, where everyone was brainwashed to worship Batman and hate anybody he hated. Anyone who didn’t was declared criminal or crazy and ended up in Iron Heights or Arkham Asylum while Batman flitted around town, cosplaying and ego-tripping.

Gotham City made criminals via its own special recipe—one part felony, one part cosplay—

So, tell me. If you don’t like EDM, what do you like?” “Don’t listen to much music.” “A hobby? You must have a hobby.” He didn’t answer, but the brief flash of wariness in his eyes told me all I needed to know. “You do have one! What is it? Let me guess, knitting. No, bird watching. No, cosplay.” “No.” “Stamp collecting? Yoga? Pokémon—” “If I tell you, will you shut up?” he said crankily. I responded with a beatific smile. “I might.” Rhys hesitated for a long moment before saying, “I draw, sometimes.
Ana Huang (Twisted Games (Twisted, #2))
I’m disappointed. I’d really hoped you were into cosplay. You would make a good Thor, only with the dark hair.” “Second time you’ve tried to get me to take my shirt off, princess. Careful, or I’ll think you’re trying to seduce me.” “I’m not trying to get your shirt off. Thor doesn’t even—” I stopped when Rhys let out a low chuckle. “You’re messing with me.” “When you get riled up, your face looks like a strawberry.

Addiction isn't a moral failure; it’s a societal one. In the ER, I’ve sutured wounds from overdoses and watched schools fail to arm kids against the coming storm. ‘The Lotus Mark: The Pink Lotus’ isn’t fiction. It’s a glitter-coated bullet aimed at apathy. Here’s the truth: Lotus pills don’t just dissolve in your bloodstream. They dissolve families, cities, futures. I wrote this because nurses don’t just heal bodies; we armor souls. And sometimes, that armor is stormtrooper-plated and dripping in defiance.

Xander stood at the end of the bed, hands on hips, the jacket she'd helped him sew thrown open, a gold-threaded waistcoat glimmering underneath. He was the Regency hero today, but she didn't feel like being saved.
Danika Stone (All the Feels)
I'm very cute, you know. And I'm not sure you've heard, but I have five thousand pounds a year. I've taken a place in Boulder for the season. Miss Dashwood and her sister will vouch for my parentage.
Danika Stone (All the Feels)
In seconds an 'up' elevator came rushing toward them. The doors opened, revealing a mostly-empty interior. “Sometimes,” he said, “you have to go up to go down.” Liv followed him in, marveling at the scene below them. She could see the full scope of Dragon Con from her bird's eye vantage, the floor a living mass of bodies. Tiny toy-sized people in cosplay moved in bright splotches of color ten stories down. And it wasn't just one section. The atrium level was equally packed, the hallways leading to ballrooms around the hotel teaming with people. With an unsettling rush, the elevator sprang upward, the figures shrinking into specks. Liv's stomach contracted and she pulled back from the glass. They were incredibly high.
Danika Stone (All the Feels)
She stared, wide eyed as glass-walled elevators shot up fifty-two floors like pods in a launch tube. Everything - from the glaringly bright carpet swirling with psychedelic lines; to the hotel's open ceiling ringed by storey after storey of balconies, the distant roof so high it made her head spin; to the people decked out in cosplay - was torn from a science fiction novel. It seemed Liv had spent the last eighteen years in search of her people, and in one sudden explosion of fate, they'd all been brought together in this place in time. Her eyes filled with tears as a sudden awareness filled her. They were all nerds.
Danika Stone (All the Feels)
Perdu and Cuneo gaped at creatures that seemed to have sprung from Middle Earth or Winterfell. Such is the power of books.

Samy was Samantha. She was wearing a white linen dress. She also had on hobbit feet, huge and extremely hairy ones.

Flynne’s expression as she took it all in. “Cosplay zone,” said Lev, “Eighteen sixty-seven. We’d be fined for the helicopter, if it didn’t have cloaking, or if it made a sound.” Netherton tapped the requisite quadrant of palate, returning to Ash’s feed, to find them stationary over morning traffic, already so thick as to be almost unmoving. Cabs, carts, drays, all drawn by horses. Lev’s father and grandfather owned actual horses, apparently. Were said to sometimes ride them, though certainly never in Cheapside. His mother had shown him the shops here as a child. Silver-plated tableware, perfumes, fringed shawls, implements for ingesting tobacco, fat watches cased in silver or gold, men’s hats. He’d been amazed at how copiously the horses shat in the street, their droppings swept up by darting children, younger than he was, who he’d understood were no more real than the horses, but who seemed as real,

If I died in a freak accident while hurrying through Shibuya's notorious "scramble" intersection, where thousands of pedestrians crossed from all directions at once when the WALK light shifted to green, I hoped whoever performed my funeral service would know I died satisfied. Shibuya felt like being in the center of the vertical world, with tall buildings flashing advertisements, neon lights, and level after level of stores and restaurants visible through glass windows. So many people, so hurried, so much to look at and experience. Fashionista women wearing skinny pants with stiletto pumps riding bikes down crowded sidewalks. Harajuku girls with pink hair and crazy outfits. Loud izakaya bars where men's conversations and laughter spilled onto the street, and women walking by wearing kimonos with white socks tucked into flip-flops. Young people strutting around dressed in kosupure ("cosplay," Nik translated) outfits from their favorite anime, like it was Halloween every day here. TOO MUCH FUN. I didn't want to die, but if I did, I would tell the souls I met in the afterlife: Don't feel bad about my premature end. I saw it all in my short time down in the upworld of Tokyo.

In particular, we would argue that in seeking to understand how others have previously interpreted social reality, it is somewhat limiting to restrict one’s scope to only academic written texts. The lines between the academic and the popular, the written and the visual, have always been somewhat blurred, but it could be argued in the world we live today; these are becoming even more so. In seeking to understand how others have interpreted and (re)presented social reality, limiting this to a review of the existing academic literature can only ever give a partial account.

Whether you're a fitness coach, model, influencer, cosplayer, or adult performer, the potential to earn substantial income is real—but building a following and passing platform verification takes time. That’s where premium verified OnlyFans accounts for sale come in. Just Contact Now: WhatsApp: +1 ‪(804) 452-7979 Telegram: @usapvaonline These accounts are fully verified, legally ready to earn, and often come with an existing fanbase. They offer a shortcut to success—especially for those who want to skip the startup phase and start earning now. But what exactly makes an OnlyFans account “premium”? What should you look for before purchasing? And what are the risks and rewards involved? In this in-depth guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about buying premium verified OnlyFans accounts. What Is a Premium Verified OnlyFans Account? A verified OnlyFans account means that the platform has authenticated the user’s identity with valid government-issued identification, ensuring they are 18+ and legally permitted to earn money from content. But a premium verified account goes beyond that. These accounts usually include: Full verification and eligibility to monetize A professionally built profile (bio, banners, profile photo) Preloaded content (photos, videos, or PPVs) Real, active followers Engagement stats (likes, DMs, comments) Tiered subscription pricing Sometimes a content posting schedule or promotion plan Premium accounts are tailored for creators who want to skip the groundwork and start with momentum. Why Buy a Premium Verified OnlyFans Account? Let’s face it—growing from scratch on any social platform is a grind. The competition is fierce, and standing out requires smart branding, content creation, promotion, and time. For many, the idea of buying a premium verified account is a strategic move that makes sense for several reasons: 1. Instant Monetization Time is money. If you want to start earning this week instead of waiting for verification and building an audience, a pre-verified account gets you there instantly. 2. Established Fan Base Many premium accounts come with real followers and subscribers. Instead of starting from zero, you can leverage the existing audience to build your income right away. 3. Professional Setup A premium account often comes with branding already in place: profile photos, banners, optimized bios, and even sample content. You can either build on it or rebrand entirely. 4. Lower Learning Curve Many premium accounts come from creators who are retiring or switching niches. That means you’re buying an account that’s already optimized for OnlyFans’ algorithm and monetization systems. 5. Test-Drive the Platform Maybe you’re interested in joining OnlyFans but unsure if it’s the right platform. Buying an account can help you explore the ecosystem without building from the ground up. Key Features of High-Quality Premium Accounts Not all verified accounts are created equal. When shopping around, here’s what defines a premium OnlyFans account: ✅ Full Platform Verification This means the account is registered with government ID, age-verified, and has a connected banking or payment method. ✅ Organic Follower Base Look for real followers, not bots. Check for consistent engagement: likes, comments, DMs, and tip history. ✅ Branded Profile Premium accounts typically include a professional look: banner design, profile photo, niche-targeted bio, and pinned welcome message. ✅ Content Library Most high-quality accounts include preloaded posts—photos, videos, locked PPV content, or even full content drops. This makes onboarding seamless.

Buy Aged OnlyFans Accounts with Verification Badge In today’s creator-driven economy, OnlyFans has become one of the most lucrative platforms for monetizing exclusive content. Whether you're a fitness trainer, adult performer, cosplayer, or influencer, OnlyFans provides direct access to a paying audience. But as competition rises, standing out and building a presence from scratch can be time-consuming and overwhelming. Just Contact Now: WhatsApp: +1 ‪(804) 452-7979 Telegram: @usapvaonline That’s why many creators, marketers, and agencies are turning to a powerful shortcut: buying aged OnlyFans accounts with a verification badge. These pre-built accounts aren’t just verified — they’ve been around for a while, often come with a posting history, organic engagement, and most importantly, are ready for monetization the moment you log in. In this article, we’ll explore everything you need to know about aged verified OnlyFans accounts: what they are, how they work, the benefits, the risks, and how to buy one safely and effectively. What Are Aged Verified OnlyFans Accounts? Let’s break it down: “Aged” means the account has been active or created months (or years) ago, not recently made. “Verified” means it has passed OnlyFans’ strict identity verification process using real government-issued identification and is legally allowed to post adult or premium content and receive payments. The “Verification Badge” is an internal platform status indicating the account has passed all compliance and is approved for monetization. When you buy an aged OnlyFans account with a verification badge, you’re purchasing a mature, ready-to-use profile that’s already established in the platform’s ecosystem. Why People Buy Aged OnlyFans Accounts There are many compelling reasons why creators and marketers prefer aged verified accounts over new ones. Below are the top benefits: ✅ Faster Monetization Starting a new account requires passing KYC verification, setting up payment info, and waiting for approval. With an aged account, this step is already complete. ✅ Better Credibility An older account often appears more trustworthy to potential subscribers. Followers may assume the creator has been around longer and is more professional. ✅ Avoid the “Newbie” Label When subscribers see a profile that just launched, they may hesitate to spend money. An aged account gives you instant legitimacy and the perception of experience. ✅ Algorithm Boost Some creators believe OnlyFans' discovery algorithm favors active or aged accounts with regular posting history. Buying such an account could give you an advantage in visibility. ✅ Save Time and Effort Let’s face it—building a successful OnlyFans presence from scratch takes weeks (if not months) of hard work. Aged accounts allow you to skip the grind and get straight to earning. Ideal Buyers of Aged Verified OnlyFans Accounts Wondering if this strategy is right for you? Aged accounts are ideal for:

A verified OnlyFans account is one that’s gone through the platform’s official identity verification process — meaning it’s approved for uploading and monetizing content, accepting payments, and receiving earnings. Verification ensures compliance, boosts trust, and allows the account to earn money legally. Why Do People Get Verified OnlyFans Accounts?

Buying an account lets creators from restricted regions still join the platform and connect with fans worldwide. 3. Rebrandable & Business-Ready Some verified accounts come with followers, branding, or even income history. Smart buyers rebrand these as new personas, partner accounts, or marketing funnels for agencies. 4. Perfect for Agencies Talent agencies and content studios use multiple verified accounts to manage performers, run promotions, or segment their offerings. Buying accounts saves time and scales their operations. Is It Safe? The safety of a verified account depends on how and where you buy it. Here are some best practices: only from trusted, private sellers or secure marketplaces. Always request full credentials and access to associated email.

After the 2016 election, the media did not engage in any of that self-reflection or humble analysis leading to self-improvement. They took a very different approach. After Trump's victory, several media outlets shifted their approach from their cosplaying traditional objectivity towards outright advocacy journalism and taking even more explicit political stances.

Today’s fantasy, not only literature, but films, games, cosplay, and even the growing popularity of Halloween celebrations, reflects an awareness that we live in a disenchanted world, as well as our desire to return to that sense of transcendence in the eminent: A lion, a ring, and Sauron, are symbols writ large. They are billboards on the highway of a disenchanted world, pointing us with bold letters and bright lights, to the forgotten places on the side roads of the modern soul. (Chapter 11)

In the age of cosplay, being a women has been reduced to the ultimate white male privilege; like Buffalo Bill from the Silence of the Lambs, a certain sort of man believes that he can construct a Woman Suit from words and rob us of the privileges which he believes we have. They are not actually murdering us in order to fashion their outfits, but they are attempting to remove our freedoms piece by piece. And they are leaving the bloodied body parts of those too young to understand what their feelings mean as their calling card.
