LOTS OF INFO IN DESCRIPTION 🙂
Just got back from KATSUCON 2018!! Thank you all so much who approached me, either for a picture with my Mercy cosplay, or as a Gibi-channel-watcher 😀 You were all incredibly kind and I was so happy to meet such polite, friendly people! I ended up competing in the Masquerade and won Best Masters Performance, so that video will be going up on my second channel shortly! (Did you know I have a second channel? Subscribe to it here!!: )

Here is a long, ASMR-style rundown of how I made my Mercy cosplay, with a mini-roleplay in the beginning to give you a lil taste of a future collaboration I have with Animated ASMR (the talented guy who did the Team Rocket collab with me. Check that out if you haven’t: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPXF-3_glgg&t=343s ). The rest of the video is me explaining the many different elements of the Mercy costume, with some footage from the actual convention so you can see what I look like head-to-toe wearing it!
I hope you enjoy, and if this inspires someone to cosplay, let me know. That’s the goal!

(Her patterns were SO helpful. Even though I ended up adjusting a lot of it, having the base work done will save you a frick ton of guess work and crying.)
A lot of people have asked me how much time/money went into making this costume. I purposefully did not track either to save myself from any regrets LOL. I started actively researching and thinking about starting this during the summer, with the bulk of work starting in October, finishing this month! A lot of professional cosplayers are able to finish their builds in a month or less, but this was the first time I’ve ever attempted something this complicated! Cosplay is definitely a (very intense) hobby for me, and I’m not a professional, but I hope this video can help or educate, or entertain! 🙂
Female Bakugou is next…. Buckle up!

I find that I get a lot of comments and messages about using ASMR for anxiety, depression, and more. I can totally relate with that, and ASMR is an awesome outlet for those things. However, if you’re interested, above is a link to a website with real, professional & licensed counselors. You can type to them, or call them! It’s actually a really cool service and I use it personally. It costs as low as $35 a week, and you don’t have to leave your house to use it. 🙂
