First worn: Fanime Con 2013
I was asked to be Pluto for an Eternals group, since Pluto was the only one missing. Iβd been hoping and waiting for a chance to remake my Eternal Sailor Mars ever since I first wore it, but somehow every time my friends put together a group, Mars was taken and I was left out. I love Sailor Mars so much that I never wanted to be anyone else from the series, but Iβve pretty much given up hope that Iβll ever get to do it as part of a group. I was so incredibly touched that anyone would even invite me to be a part of any cosplay group (since it almost never happens) that I decided to give it a try anyway. I had fun with the group, and we got some really great photos, so Iβm glad I did it, but it also made me realize that itβs not worth it to me to cosplay something I donβt care about just to be part of a group. Even though we got some amazing photos, I never could get excited about it, because I wasnβt Mars. I almost feel bad for Pluto fans, like Iβm lying to them or something by cosplaying herβ¦ I donβt even know her poses! Somehow it feels different from the other random cosplays I threw together, because sheβs a well-known character and the outfit took a lot of work to make. Oh well. It was a good experience, but I have WAY too many costumes on my wish list to bother with ones Iβm lukewarm about, unless theyβre really easy or thereβs another good reason to do them. I just hope I can be part of more groups in the future, doing costumes I actually care about.
