Hi everyone and welcome back on my channel!
I tought it was a good idea to make a video about
the most stupid things I've ever done for cosplay
That I did or some of my friends did
Painful things..stupid things..
But I did them anyway
As some of you may know for many people doing a cosplay is more important
Than their self-care
So.. something strange could happen
That maybe..can...hurt you?
Ok, not so dangerous things
But sometimes we risk only doing damage to objects or to ourselves
I'm not talking about SUCH DANGERS but..uhm
I made a list of everything "wrong" I made
I let you judge
First, I ironed a cosplay basketball suit
And, of course, it got fried
Not completely
But it got the classic shape of the iron on the shorts
If you checked my last video I was talking about ironing a cosplay using a piece of fabric as protective layer
As you can see, I learned from my mistakes
and as you know the majority of costumes you find online
are made of iron-unfriendly fabrics
Mostly if they are suit for spokon anime  (basketball, football, etc)
But I was such a genius that I ironed it anyway
thinking that my kuroko no basket suit would turn out better if ironed(???)
DON'T DO IT!
2nd stupid fact
More than stupid, it was badly thought out
That is I did bodypainting while it was rainy
We wanted to cosplay Adventure Time
Me and my friend Laura were cosplaying as Marceline and Marshall Lee
And as you may know
They are grey, so we painted in grey! Yeeee!
But it was rainy but..
for the sake of the group and for the "true cosplay spirit"
we painted ourselves anyway
So what happened? It wasn't a total mess
But we started to.. you know.. the rain.. if you go out for taking pictures.. the drops
We turned out in polka dots
Lately, with Photoshop, we fixed our bad looking skin
So the pictures are actually good
But it's like that because we edited them. In truth.. we were in polka dots!
Talking about self-scourging(?)
Let's start with more painful stuff
That taught me something
First bad thing: I weared boots 2 size smaller than my size
They were heavy-duty boots
After a long day walking around the con as Amata Sora
(Who remembers Aquarion Evol deserves my prays)
Those boots were lent to me by my friend Gixye
A girl.. smaller size, you know.. BUT "HELL YEAH let's do anywayyy"
..Don't do it. It hurt so bad for months
Not something that I remember with happiness
Probably I hate the lower part of my body because
Not only I weared a small size boots,
I also went on snow by bare feet
This didn't cause later pains
But it was..painful in the exact moment it happened
But.. "let's do it for the cosplay sake!!11!"
Talking about something "softer"
Always for the "pain"-list
My first Riminicomix (a seaside-based convention)
I did male Black Rock Shooter and.. you see: total black
heavy leather, black jeans, black wig and boots..
I didn't imagine the con was SO HOT
From that moment I understood that when you go at Rimini Comix, you MUST wear something light and fresh
And you can say "why didn't you think about this before? you know Rimini is on the seaside, also it's July"
I could avoid it but I was so stupid
At Rimini Comics bring only summer versions cosplay: shirts, costume and flip flops
Another adventure! this happened recently
What I said before happened a lot of time ago, so you can say
"You're all grown up, you won't make other mistakes again"
And I'll say you NOOOPE
Right in the end of last year me and Laura dived in freezing waters
You can say "Woow it's a lake! So cute!"
No. It was a mountain spring (north Italy)
It was autumn and the weather was definitely not hot
Well let's say that was a "refreshing" experience!
I'd never do it again
Another point! It wasn't directly about me but.. I helped
And you can say "why didn't you stop him?"
And I'll answer "He..bounded me"
This last Lucca Comics I helped Ciro with his Shigaraki's hands
The chara is from Boku No Hero Academia, here a picture
He didn't just find a way for keep the hands on
With something like "spirit gum"? Naahh
He used FURNITURE MASTIC
Yes, the one you use for fix wood and metal house stuff
He...attached ...the hands...with it
I was there, saying "don't do it.. it will definitely hurt, it's dangerous.."
But he said "Nah nah, let's try it!"
And yes, the hand were fixed around him but
The problem is that you can imagine what happened when he had to take them off
And for how much time the markes staid on his skin
This is the MOST stupid thing I've ever assist for doing a cosplay
Last. A thing that I never did, well I tried for 5 minutes and then: NOPE
A lot of people keep doing this thinking it's totally ok
I'm talking about putting two layers of contact lenses
The first ones colored, the second ones not colored but with prescription
This is not possible, guys. Ridiculous.
Long time ago I tried for a while
Explosion of the eyes. DON'T DO IT PLEASE
Seriously don't do it, it's not safe and it's dangerous for your eyes.
Buy colored lenses with prescription: they exist!
Maybe in first place you won't feel the pain but, trust me, you'll feel later and it's not good for your eyes
DON'T DO IIIIIIT
There are a lot of people that keep doing this
Saying "I do it and I feel comfortable!"
You DON'T have to feel comfortable!! D:<
If you do, think of this video, and a little Yamato in the World will cry
With that said, these are all the main stupid things (made for cosplay) that came to my mind!
What about you? Have you ever done something particularly bad?
Let me know with a comment!
Bye bye, see you at next video!
