KH2 Sora shoe fix-up Before- Notice the toe of the shoe is flat on the ground and the toe is skinner rather than rounded After- Carved into the front-toe to lift it off the ground, rounded the toe by installing a new foam under-base!

We also need to acknowledge how toxic ideologies around aging and appearance push people out of the hobby. Someone not looking like a teenager in their 30’s isn’t failure. It’s a natural process. And as we know, looking like a character, including age, has never been a requirement for cosplay.

Someone no longer looking like a teenager in their 30’s isn’t failure. It’s a natural biological process.

Aging isn’t the specter that popular culture makes it out to be. Aging brings knee pain, yes, but also experience. And when we talk about the health of communities there is necessary stability cosplay community and cosplayers gain from the retention of those with experince.

Many of us have heard: “You’re too old” “Your body/appearance isn’t what it used to be” “Why are you still doing this” This has always felt weird, especially when it comes from fellow cosplayers. We ALL get older… this will be you someday.

Aging in cosplay— a topic I’ve had a number of conversations with folks about over the past few years. Aging is not a failure, aging is not a flaw, and aging will happen to EVERYONE. Create the present, and future, you want to see for yourself in cosplay.
Aging in Cosplay: Why don’t we have a very good sense of what it is to age in cosplay?

Remember: crimping is just one approach 
The approach you take will depend on your own preferences and the type of wig you are hoping to create.

twinfools @twinfools.bsky.social · 15/05/2026
What is crimping? 

Crimping involves the use of a crimping tool that uses heat to warp wig fiber. The combination of heat and pressure from the crimping tool turns the straight wig hair into a “zig zag” shape. 

Because the zig zag shape takes up more space, it creates volume and helps the wig stick together easier! 
Why crimp? 

Crimping as a technique is helpful for:

* adding volume
* making a wig more malleable
* reducing shine

Some may not like crimping as a technique or the result it creates (such as crimp marks, though these can be reduced). It is not the only way to achieve volume, malleability or shine reduction!
What are some alternatives to crimping? 

If you want to add volume:
- back combing (teasing hair by brushing toward the root, apply heat)

If you want to reduce shine:
- Using translucent powder or dry shampoo

If you want to make a wig more malleable:
- thinning the wig, especially at the tips, will make segments stick together easier

Using a crimping tool (“crimping”) has been popularized over the last few years. Crimping is a really helpful technique! But why does it work and why do cosplayers do it? This post comes because I’ve received the question “do I need to crimp my wig”… and the answer is a resounding “it depends!”

Surprise! I’ll be heading out to #Otafest in Calgary next weekend! Initially I was planning 2 days but due to surgery recovery I’m gonna take it easy 🥲 I’ve fixed up Son Goku, I’m sure like 12 people there will recognize #Saiyuki cosplay but hey 🙈 See you there, friends!!!

When in doubt—Compliment etiquette! 

-Boundaries! Don’t approach people when they are eating or busy and definitely don’t touch people!
-don’t assume gender, try to use gender-neutral language 
-keep it short, keep it respectful— everyone has different thresholds for speaking to strangers 
-Keep it about the cosplay. Commenting on someone’s body, race, gender, ability or other characteristics may be uncomfortable or inappropriate.

New friends!

This isn’t something to expect, but I know I’ve made new friends but approaching people with a quick compliment only for that the develop into a longer conversation and in some cases a friendship.

It’s that “social” thing we’re all trying to get back into 😉

The person’s day is made

Imagine, you’re having a bad day, maybe you think your cosplay didn’t turn out how you wanted it to… and another cosplayer comes up to you from a reps the con to say “I just needed to let you know, your cosplay looks amazing!”. 

This can be a day changer. This one interaction can lift someone’s spirits… and you’ll likely never know this was the case!

twinfools @twinfools.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
The person gives a quick “thanks”

Sometimes it can feel like someone doesn’t put in the same amount of effort as our compliment… but is that really the point? People respond in all kinds of tones but it doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate the compliment!

twinfools @twinfools.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
The person doesn’t hear you.

Ahh!! This can be uncomfortable! You say “I love your cosplay!” And it’s just crickets.

In my experience, this is often because someone can’t hear through the noise, may not think you’re talking about them or hasn’t seen their comment section/doesn’t have time to reply. 

Is it momentarily awkward? It can be. Did you do something bad? Absolutely not. You took a risk and put positivity out there, and that’s a good thing!

What can the impact of saying something be?
