Appreciation Post!!
Added 2017-02-21 03:46:40 +0000 UTCThis weekend was such an incredible experience. I've never been to a convention that had such incredible cosplayers in such a high volume. I met so many wonderful people who inspire me to not only continue in this craft but to improve my own skill set.
I know I've said this a lot (and if you've seen my videos to know I mean A LOT), but my dreams are coming true because of everyone here on patreon. I could never have made it to this convention with out all of your support. This was honestly the first step in me becoming a better cospalyer and I am just so dang overwhelmed with happiness, joy, pride, and humility.
All weekend fellow cosplayers would come up and congratulate me on my patreon and ask how I did it. My response was always the same: "yeah, I don't know, it makes no sense, I don't know why people even like me".
After I said this to one cosplayer they replied with "I think that's exactly why people care about you. You're the every person, you're just like all of you're introverted geeky followers. You're always doubting yourself, you don't know how to take a compliment and you're always worried about other people"
I almost wept on the spot. I don't know if it's true, but I'm going to pretend like it is. I'm also going to tell myself that you like me for not only my "pages" but my "cover" as well. Because honestly I put a lot of hard work into that cover. <br><br>Anyway, I'm rambling and I'm sorry and I love you all and thank you and thank you and good night and I probably should have used some commas in this sentance!

I'm glad you had a great time Michael. You deserve it and I'm proud to support you in your dreams. The person who answered it was spot on. You're the Peter Parker to our Spider-Hamm ð

2017-02-21 05:03:21 +0000 UTCI think they hit it spot on. Aesthetically, many of us either wish we were you or could date you. I think a lot of geeky guys have some self-esteem issues, and many of us escaped the torments in our lives by diving headfirst into realms of fantasy. Being playful, grounded, and humble keeps a lot of us here because it makes you more genuine, and not raising to the bait of all the thirst or letting it go to your head keeps you connected. You're a geeky, lovable nerd, but you're the kind of nerd we aspire to be.
